147: The secret method covers the sky!

Night enveloped the land.

The cold moonlight illuminated the mountains and rivers, and there was a deathly silence.

“Whoosh—!”

A golden light streaked through the Void Realm, traveling through space.

It was Han Li.

Blazing forward without interruption, Han Li didn't know how far he had run, at least hundreds of thousands of miles.

But behind him, that faint Aura still existed.

Baoyue National Teacher was still pursuing him.

Like a dog's plaster, he couldn't be shaken off.

“If this continues, my True Qi will be completely exhausted.” Han Li's face was pale; even swallowing Medicinal Pills couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption.

“I must hide, otherwise, I'll be caught sooner or later!”

“Aura tracking, as long as I can conceal all my Aura and block Divine Sense probing, then there will be no problem.”

“That's right, Heavenly Evolution Divine Art!”

While speeding, a flash of inspiration suddenly bloomed in Han Li's mind.

His spiritual Soul was already stronger than an ordinary Divine Aperture Realm.

Cultivating Heavenly Evolution Divine Art had also improved him significantly.

Heavenly Evolution Divine Art, in addition to having supreme spiritual attack techniques, also contained other Soul concealment techniques.

“With the Soul concealment technique from the Divine Art, there should be hope…”

It's worth a gamble!

Han Li instantly made up his mind.

If it really didn't work, he would unleash his blood Qi.

Traveling through the Void Realm, Han Li looked at the mountains and rivers.

A black river appeared in his eyes.

“Plop—!”

His figure sharply descended, and Han Li instantly plunged into the river.

In one breath, he directly plunged to the deepest part of the river.

“Buzz—!”

In the center of his Heavenly Court, his spiritual Soul instantly erupted, activating the Soul concealment technique, completely sealing off all his Aura.

Hidden in a dark cave deep within the river, Han Li remained motionless like a stone.

His body also changed to the same color as his surroundings; even if someone stood in front of him, as long as he didn't move, he absolutely wouldn't be discovered.

This Soul technique was called “Sky Covering”!

Its meaning: to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, to cover the sky and obscure the sun!

It could not only conceal all Aura but also change oneself, completely merging with all surrounding objects.

Activating the Heaven Concealing Secret Technique, Han Li didn't have full confidence yet; he could only take a gamble.

However, with his Divine Aperture Realm Soul and spirit, he still had great hope.

But this was only hope; he hadn't truly tried it before.

Now, forced into a dead end, he could only give it a try.

Everything was completed in an instant.

Two breaths later, above the vast river, a purple light emerged from the Void Realm.

Under the night sky, the river water flowed rapidly.

Baoyue National Teacher stood in the Void Realm, looking at the river before him.

“He wants to hide…”

Looking at the vast river, a brilliant smile appeared on Baoyue National Teacher's face.

He had personally seen Han Li enter the river, so there was no mistake.

This also indicated one thing: this person had reached the end of his rope.

Once he caught this person, all the treasures on him would be his.

Instantly, his spirit stirred, and his Divine Sense directly searched the river.

Deep within the river, in the dark cave, Han Li could sense the Aura above the river.

Activating Sky Covering concealment, Han Li remained motionless.

If he were discovered, he would have to make one last stand.

—

“Hmm?”

“No, that's not right, why is there nothing?”

Standing in the Void Realm, Baoyue National Teacher's expression changed.

His Divine Sense searched a hundred-mile radius, but there wasn't a single trace.

“He must have used some clever concealment technique. In that case, this Protector will force him out.”

A thought flashed, Baoyue National Teacher waved his hand, and infinite power of heaven and earth gathered. Above the river, a dazzling giant hand condensed and appeared.

“Boom—!!”

With a single palm strike, the entire vast river instantly surged, sending up towering waves hundreds of feet high, churning the river and overturning the sea.

The force of the palm even penetrated the riverbed, instantly killing countless fish and shrimp.

The earth cracked.

Deep within the river, in the dark cave, Han Li felt the power of the violent strike churning the entire river. The entire dark cave vibrated violently, and stones shattered.

It was almost on the verge of collapsing.

But even so, Han Li remained motionless.

Even if the dark cave collapsed, with his Physical Body, he wouldn't be crushed to death.

Since Baoyue National Teacher had made a move, it meant he was at his wit's end.

His confidence in the Sky Covering concealment technique increased.

Now, he only had one thing to do, and that was to wait!

At this moment, he absolutely couldn't make the slightest movement; even a tiny movement would completely negate all his previous efforts… Above the river, in the Void Realm, watching the surging river water, Baoyue National Teacher's face was extremely grim.

“Impossible, he must be here!”

“Whoosh—!”

With a movement of his figure, Baoyue National Teacher instantly plunged into the river water.

It was a full half-hour later that a figure emerged from the river water, it was Baoyue National Teacher.

He had thoroughly searched it once, but he still hadn't found the slightest trace.

“No, he must be here.”

Looking at the surging river water, Baoyue National Teacher's gaze was gloomy. Suddenly, his eyes darted, and his figure disappeared into thin air.

In the night, the turbulent river gradually subsided after a full hour.

Under the moonlight, everything became extremely quiet… In the river, in the broken dark cave, Han Li maintained his motionless posture.

“The Aura is gone?”

“No, these old devils are all cunning and treacherous. He must be hiding, waiting for me to show myself. I can't leave now.”

Unable to sense Baoyue National Teacher's Aura, Han Li still dared not relax in the slightest.

Let's just wait it out!

His Soul, even if continuously activating Sky Covering concealment, could last for a very long time.

Without true safety, he would certainly not show himself.

Even if he waited a little longer, if he moved now, he would definitely be discovered by that old devil… A night passed, and the turbulent vast river returned to tranquility, though some traces could still be seen from both banks.

When a God Realm powerhouse makes a move, it often means overturning the heavens and shaking the earth.

Crushing mountains, splitting the earth, reversing rivers!

The riverbanks on both sides had many new branches, and the river water flowed into them.

There were also a large number of fish and shrimp that had been shaken onto the shore.

Deep within the river, in the dark cave, Han Li made no movement throughout the night.

Although some Soul power was consumed overnight, it was not a big problem.

Using Sky Covering concealment, Han Li remained motionless like a stubborn rock.

To avoid being discovered, he even gave up on recovering.

Any subtle movement was completely hidden.

The cold river water flowed past, and even fish swam in front of him.

Han Li still maintained his motionless posture.

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the river; from day to night, a full day had passed.

Not far from the vast river, a figure was hidden in the mountain forest on a Peak.

A pair of eyes stared at the flowing river.

“No movement for a day and a night… Could it be that he really ran away?”

Baoyue National Teacher looked at the vast river, his face extremely grim.

He had waited for a day and a night, but he still couldn't see any trace of Han Li.

This made his ominous feeling even stronger.

“No, my intuition won't be wrong; he must have used some profound concealment technique to hide himself.” The thought resurfaced in his mind, Baoyue National Teacher calmed himself, closed his eyes, and his vast Divine Sense once again began to probe… “Divine Sense…”

“Sure enough, that old devil is still here!”

Deep within the river, in the dark cave, Han Li felt the invisible power of Divine Sense probing the river, and his heart tightened.

The Heaven Concealing Secret Technique remained, concealing him motionlessly.

Now, he believed that the Heaven Concealing Secret Technique from the Heavenly Evolution Divine Art could surely deceive the heavens.

Even if it took more time, Han Li had to remain hidden.

He only had one life.

Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to release his blood Qi to recover; this vast blood Qi, if used to Cultivate the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art, would bring unparalleled improvements.

Endure, after enduring, someday, he would kill this old devil… One day, two days… Along the riverbank, many local fishermen were often seen.

“Five days have passed, it seems there's no hope…” Staring at the vast river, on the Peak, Baoyue National Teacher's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He had waited for five days.

But apart from the local fishermen, he couldn't see any trace of Han Li; let alone a figure, there wasn't even a wisp of Aura.

Although he had personally witnessed Han Li entering the vast river, after waiting for five days without any trace, his heart had sunk to the bottom.

From the looks of it, this fellow had probably already left.

His Divine Sense had probed countless times, but he hadn't found even a single hair. He even plunged into the river several times, but still had no harvest whatsoever.

“Wait three more days…”

Looking at the vast river, Baoyue National Teacher was truly unwilling to give up.

If there was still no movement after three more days, then it would mean that this person had truly and completely left… “Damn it!”

On the Peak, Baoyue National Teacher was furious, his figure instantly soared into the sky, and infinite pressure emanated from his body.

Looking at the murky river water that seemed bottomless, Baoyue National Teacher's body trembled.

Eight days, he had spent eight days, and he had found nothing.

“Could it be that he used some method of deception? Was plunging into the river just a diversion?”

Looking at the murky river water, Baoyue National Teacher carefully recalled the scene he had witnessed earlier.

Thinking about it, it wasn't impossible.

Thinking of this, his fury surged.

“Rumble~!”

Thunder roared, lightning flashed, infinite power of heaven and earth gathered. Baoyue National Teacher looked at the vast river, and with a furious strike, he slammed towards the river.

“Boom—!!”

This palm strike, imbued with boundless rage, was like the hand of a Heavenly God, forcefully severing the river.

The blocked river instantly surged into the lands on both banks.

The towering river water swallowed the fields.

Some fields more than ten miles from the shore were instantly submerged.

The force of a single palm strike forcibly changed the course of the river.

And this furious strike also completely destroyed the villagers' houses on both banks.

Screams of agony rang out, but were quickly drowned out.

When a God Realm is enraged, heaven and earth collapse!

The mountains by the river were all destroyed.

Looking at the scene of devastation, Baoyue National Teacher's face was gloomy.

After venting the anger in his heart, his mind felt a bit more at ease. Baoyue National Teacher transformed into a purple light and instantly vanished without a trace.

—

Deep within the river, the river water surged violently.

The dark cave was completely destroyed, and Han Li's body was directly buried by stones.

“He's made a move again. It seems he's completely exasperated. Very good. If I wait a little longer, I can escape…”

Under the rubble, Han Li remained motionless, allowing the stones to bury him.

He could still hold on for a very long time; right now, he definitely wouldn't show himself… “What, National Teacher, you failed!”

In Baoxiang City, atop a pavilion, in a room, the First Prince looked at Baoyue National Teacher before him, his face turning pale by a third.

“This person has already left, his whereabouts unknown.” Baoyue National Teacher said.

Hearing this, the First Prince's face paled even further.

His body swayed slightly.

He ran away!

He actually just ran away!

After so many days, this is the news I've been waiting for!

"Your Highness, I'll be taking my leave now. I'm going into seclusion, so unless it's urgent, please don't disturb me."

Baoyue National Teacher said, and as soon as his voice fell, he instantly transformed into a purple light and vanished from the pavilion.

Watching the National Teacher leave directly, the Third Prince's face was ashen.

"Bang!"

With a punch, the window in front of him instantly shattered.

"Bastard!"

Gazing into the distance, the Third Prince trembled all over.

"Creak!"

At this moment, the pavilion's main door opened, and two figures in brocade robes appeared.

It was the Third Prince and the Second Prince.

"Big Brother, the National Teacher is back. Could it be that there's news of Han Li?"

At this time, the Second Prince asked.

The Third Prince also looked at the Third Prince's back.

The Third Prince turned around and looked at them.

"The National Teacher sent word that Han Li... ran away!"

The Third Prince said in a deep voice.

"Ran away!"

Hearing this, the Second Prince and the Third Prince instantly widened their eyes.

"Big Brother, how is that possible? The National Teacher personally took action, how could he have run away?" the Second Prince said in disbelief.

In front of a God Realm expert, how could a Xiantian martial artist possibly escape?

A God Realm expert opens the body's secret apertures and communicates with the power of heaven and earth. The speed of a Xiantian martial artist is simply incomparable in front of a God Realm expert.

How could Han Li have run away?

"Big Brother, is this true?" The Third Prince frowned and looked at the Third Prince, asking.

"You can ask the National Teacher yourself," the Third Prince said coldly.

The Third Prince looked at him and said, "Big Brother, I don't mean that. What I mean is, is there a possibility..."

"Hmm?"

The Third Prince looked at the Third Prince, his brows furrowed.

The Second Prince also looked at him.

The Third Prince stepped forward and simultaneously transmitted his voice to the two: "What I mean is, is it possible that the National Teacher has already succeeded? After all, it's been several days."

Hearing this, the Second Prince and the Third Prince's pupils contracted.

"Third Brother, you suspect...?" The Second Prince looked at him.

The Third Prince nodded and said, "Of course, this is just my guess."

"It doesn't seem like it. The National Teacher's face was very grim." The Third Prince pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Some things can be faked, it's not impossible," the Third Prince said indifferently.

"Third Brother, don't speak carelessly without evidence, or else there might be problems," the Third Prince said, looking at him.

"It's just a guess, not a fact. Han Li's strength is indeed very strong, perhaps he really did escape," the Third Prince said.

"Second Brother, what do you think?" The Third Prince asked the Second Prince.

"This possibility... should exist. This person's strength is indeed not comparable to an ordinary Peak of the Acquired Realm expert." The Second Prince nodded.

"If Han Li really ran away, then Big Brother, I'm afraid in the future, our Baoyue Country will gain a formidable enemy!" the Third Prince said.

"What's there to fear? With the Grand Imperial Uncle, even if he's a cultivation genius and steps into the God Realm, as long as he dares to come, the Grand Imperial Uncle can definitely kill him," the Second Prince said.

"It's also possible to sacrifice a pawn to save the king," the Third Prince said indifferently.

"..."

"Alright, arguing about this now is meaningless. Let's go back for now. We'll decide on this slowly," the Third Prince said.

The few of them nodded, then disappeared into the pavilion.

—

The sun rose and the moon set!

A month passed.

The great river changed its course, and the previous riverbed was exposed, muddy.

And in the cold river water, deep at the bottom of the river, a pile of stones suddenly moved.

A figure broke through the surrounding boulders, and the water surged. The figure that burst out of the boulders instantly headed in one direction, quickly disappearing into the murky river water... In the river, Han Li moved forward in the river water. After traveling about ten miles, Han Li headed towards the surface of the river.

"Whoosh!"

The river water surged, and his figure suddenly emerged from the murky river water.

Stepping on the river surface, Han Li looked around, his expression appearing extremely weak.

"Whoosh!" Activating the True Qi remaining in his body, Han Li instantly disappeared by the riverbank.

—

On an unnamed desolate mountain, a figure appeared on the mountain path.

"Cough, cough~"

Stopping his steps, Han Li stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

He had been hidden in the river water for a full month.

Long periods of hiding in the river water had made his skin somewhat pale.

With the True Qi in his body completely exhausted, Han Li took out a Medicinal Pill and quickly swallowed it.

Looking around, a deep, quiet mountain path led to an unknown destination.

Looking into the distance, some villages and houses could be seen.

"It's still not safe, I need to find a more secluded place." Recovering a trace of strength with the help of the Medicinal Pill, Han Li didn't stop, his figure heading towards the deep, quiet mountain path.

After an incense stick's time, Han Li arrived at an abandoned temple in the mountains.

Cobwebs covered everything, and thick dust accumulated inside the temple.

Most of the houses in the temple were damaged, and some areas were directly open-air.

Han Li entered the depths of the temple, looked around, and after confirming that there were no problems, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

He came to a hidden spot behind the temple, pushed open the already decaying door, and inside, the dust was incredibly thick, with cobwebs and even rats visible in the corners.

Han Li ignored everything else, took out a prayer mat from his cosmos ring, and then changed into a set of black clothes.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable being wet.

This month of hiding had pushed him to his limits.

In the center of his Heavenly Court, his Soul had become much more transparent.

Not only was his True Qi exhausted, but his Soul had also consumed a lot.

But fortunately, his life was saved.

Sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat, Han Li immediately took out a large quantity of Medicinal Pills and swallowed them.

At the same time, he revealed the Silver Armor Puppet, hiding it in the corner of the room to act as his Protector... Moonlight shone, the desolate mountain temple was silent and still.

In the depths of the temple, in the room, Han Li's eyes opened.

After a day of recovery, he had improved a lot.

A portion of his True Qi had recovered.

"Now, I can release the blood Qi..." Exhaling a mouthful of turbid Qi, Han Li's thought moved immediately. In the depths of his mind, the sealed blood Qi instantly released.

"Dong!"

A sound like muffled thunder rang out, and a visible red light illuminated the entire room.

In the pitch-black night, this scene looked somewhat terrifying.

The blood Qi accumulated in the Rakshasa Ruins was the most Han Li had ever accumulated.

Even more than when he slaughtered the demonic cult stronghold in the Wu Dynasty.

He fully circulated the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art.

Behind Han Li, a terrifying phantom of a Dragon Elephant manifested.

It was as if a true Ancient Dragon Elephant had descended, its Aura soaring to the heavens!

His blood and Qi also rose along with the increase.

In the room, a high temperature permeated.

His body was like a great sun.

Blood and Qi like a furnace!

It rose to blood and Qi like the sun!

Like the great sun in the sky, illuminating the heaven and earth.

The surging blood Qi, like surging waves, continuously poured into his body. Under the full operation of the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art, the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo in Han Li's body continuously transformed, turning into a Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo.

New Dragon Elephant Embryos evolved, quickly breaking through and transforming into Primordial Embryos.

The inflowing blood Qi seemed endless.

The Dragon Elephant phantom manifested behind him became even more terrifying, and a supreme fierce Aura permeated.

His internal organs, flesh, tendons, and bones all underwent some kind of change with the continuous Breakthrough.

His blood also changed.

From bright red, it turned purple... Dawn broke.

In the desolate mountain temple, in the room.

Han Li, who had remained still all night, suddenly moved.

He opened his eyes, and within his pupils, a faint phantom of a Dragon Elephant could even be seen manifesting.

"Hoo..."

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid Qi, Han Li stood up from the prayer mat.

With a slight movement, the air was set into vibration.

Except for his Soul, everything else was full of power.

During this night, he completely absorbed all the blood Qi, and the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art instantly achieved a qualitative change.

Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art (Unity of Heaven and Man 35%)!

Looking at the panel displayed in his eyes, Han Li clenched his fists.

From the stage of reaching the pinnacle of perfection, he directly bypassed the stage of reaching superb mastery and achieved Unity of Heaven and Man.

Inside his body, majestic power flowed. At this moment, he even had a feeling of being able to tear apart heaven and earth.

The Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo in his body increased to one hundred in one go.

A total of sixty-five Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos were added.

A total of one hundred Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos were enhanced, reaching three hundred Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos, of which one-third were Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos.

His power once again broke the limit of a Xiantian martial artist's strength.

This wave of improvement was also unprecedented and unparalleled. In addition to the blood Qi he had accumulated, there was also the blood Qi generated by the demonic seed breaking through to level seven.

Previously, he only had one hundred and one Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos, but now, he had reached an astonishing three hundred Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos.

His power reached an astonishing fourteen million five hundred thousand jun of strength.

An increase of eight million five hundred thousand jun of strength.

Breaking ten million jun of strength, this is definitely a power that a Xiantian martial artist would find difficult to match.

It's a directcrush (crushing defeat).

Close to three hundred and fifty thousand ding of strength.

However, compared to the power of a God Realm expert, he was still far behind.

The power of a God Realm expert is at least one million ding of strength. Even an existence that has just stepped into the Divine Aperture Realm, their basic strength is one million ding, and the deeper they Cultivate, the greater the increase.

And the upper limit, each Realm is earth-shattering.

Currently, he still couldn't contend with a God Realm expert.

Even if he unleashed his limits, he couldn't be an opponent to a God Realm expert.

Before, when he suffered a blow from Baoyue National Teacher from a distance, if he hadn't cultivated the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body and possessed an unparalleled Physical Body, a single palm strike could have directly shattered his Physical Body.

This scene was etched in his memory.

Looking inward at his body, a faint purplish-gold rune appeared deep within his flesh and blood.

However, it looked extremely ethereal.

This was the Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol!

It also represented the Peak of the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body.

When the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art is cultivated to an advanced stage, and the Dragon Elephant power within the body is sufficient, then the Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol can be condensed.

A single Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol contains ten million jun of strength, which is twenty-five thousand ding of strength.

However, this Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol has not yet been formed; it is still lacking. Han Li estimated that he would need a large amount of blood Qi to Cultivate more Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos and Divine Embryos before he could truly condense the Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol.
