94: Taiqing Jueying Unparalleled in Heaven and Earth【Please subscribe】
Returning to Yuhua Peak, Han Li first checked the information about the Underground Palace Secret Realm.
It was only a few thin pages with not many words, but it encompassed the general situation of the Underground Palace Secret Realm.
Han Li read it very carefully, memorizing all the information, and he had a general idea in his mind.
Closing the booklet, Han Li checked the rewards again.
"Xiantian Pill..."
Han Li first took out a golden Medicinal Pill.
It was about the size of a longan, with some pill patterns engraved on it.
A fragrant aroma emanated from it.
The Xiantian Pill is a Medicinal Pill used by those at the Vein Opening Realm Peak to Breakthrough.
With the Xiantian Pill, the probability of Breaking through to the Innate Realm can be increased by 30%.
Its auxiliary effect is also very strong, making it a top-grade Medicinal Pill.
Attacking the Heavenly and Earthly Barrier and opening the Ren and Du Meridians is a very dangerous step.
All twelve Vein Opening Meridians must be completely broken through before the Xiantian Pill can be used to assist the Breakthrough.
The more abundant the True Qi and the stronger the vital blood, the higher the probability of a Breakthrough.
Looking at the Xiantian Pill in his hand, Han Li sealed it away.
He doesn't need the Xiantian Pill yet; to consume it, he must reach the Vein Opening Realm Peak and completely open all twelve Meridians.
After looking at the Xiantian Pill, Han Li then looked at the Essence Pill.
This is also a High Grade Medicinal Pill.
Compared to the Peiyuan Pill, which fortifies the foundation and Cultivates the origin, its medicinal power is stronger.
It strengthens the Physical Body and enhances life essence; within the Vein Opening Realm, it is rare for anyone to use this Medicinal Pill to assist in improvement.
However, for him, the best improvement is still the increase in blood Qi.
Of course, this Essence Pill is also a precious Medicinal Pill, and he naturally wouldn't waste it.
After checking the Medicinal Pills, Han Li also checked the Iron Plate and put it into his cosmos ring for safekeeping.
The last item was the rewarded High Grade Spiritual Artifact!
Han Li took it out from his hundred treasure sack; it was a Spiritual Sword.
The sword body was slender.
It had a black hilt, and some patterns were engraved on the sword body.
When held in hand, it weighed several hundred catties; it looked light, but its actual weight was astonishing.
However, for him, several hundred catties were nothing at all.
Although this High Grade Spiritual Artifact Spiritual Sword looked very light, it actually contained immense power.
A powerful spiritual might spread, making it an excellent precious sword.
"A High Grade Spiritual Artifact, even more powerful than the Fire Tipped Spear bestowed by Fourth Senior Brother... It seems I also need to find a sword technique to Cultivate."
Han Li swung the Spiritual Sword a few times, and the air was cut through.
"Zhan Ling Sword!"
Looking at the name on the hilt, Han Li flicked his finger, and the sword body instantly emitted a vibrating sword cry.
"With five million contribution points, buying some Comprehension Pills and choosing a sword technique should be a good idea."
Han Li exhaled, then began the blood sacrifice.
A High Grade Spiritual Artifact, if not put to use, would be a great waste.
Although he liked spears, it didn't mean he wouldn't Cultivate other sword or saber techniques.
All rivers run into the sea, having capacity for all!
As long as he Cultivates, he can reach the pinnacle of Perfection.
Derived Divine Abilities would have even greater power than the original martial arts.
Moreover, he would inevitably Cultivate more martial arts in the future; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to condense the Demonic Origin... Two hours passed, and under Han Li's continuous sacrifice, he successfully refined the Zhan Ling Sword.
Holding it in his hand, it felt very light.
Han Li moved the sword's edge, and a dark trace was cut through the air.
After trying it a few times, Han Li put away the Zhan Ling Sword.
"I can go to Heaven and Earth Peak to see if there are any suitable sword martial arts..."
Looking at the Void Realm, Han Li immediately got up and quickly left Yuhua Peak... After an incense stick's time, Han Li arrived at Heaven and Earth Peak.
"Hello, Senior Brother Han!"
"Hello, Senior Brother Han!"
"Hello, Senior Brother Han!"
... The Disciples he met all greeted him, and Han Li responded one by one.
As the number one on the Mountain and River Rankings, it was difficult for him to keep a low profile.
The male Disciples were fine, but the female Disciples almost clung to him.
Han Li was a bit overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.
After shaking off the enthusiasm of some female Disciples, Han Li entered the main hall.
"Senior Brother Han, what do you need?"
Inside the window, a female Disciple smiled brightly, looking at Han Li with a friendly expression.
"I'll take a look first and choose some martial arts," Han Li said.
"Do you need me to introduce them? I'm free," the female Disciple said with a radiant smile.
"No need, I'll just look myself," Han Li said, then his gaze fell upon the spiritual mirror.
Clicking on the martial arts sword technique area, three more tiered areas appeared.
Han Li's goal was Earth-Grade martial arts.
Earth-Grade martial arts have great potential and are more powerful.
Clicking confirm, lines of sword martial arts instantly appeared.
Han Li looked at them one by one.
Among them, he saw the Great Sun Sword Technique he had encountered before.
The exchange for Earth-Grade martial arts started at one million contribution points.
Han Li could only choose one, so he had to be cautious.
Although he had five million contribution points, if he really spent them, they wouldn't last long.
"Great Sun Sword Technique, Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, White Moon Sword Technique..."
He browsed through them one by one.
Han Li also generally checked them out.
However, he didn't feel much satisfaction.
Han Li continued to browse patiently.
The Qingyuan Sect possessed many Earth-Grade martial arts.
"Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay!"
"Oh, this one is not bad."
Han Li's gaze fell on a sword technique; this was an Earth-Grade Medium Grade sword martial art.
Han Li took a look at the introduction.
It felt very good.
This sword technique suited him.
"Three million contribution points!"
Han Li looked at the exchange price, and his eyelids twitched violently.
Good heavens, this price is expensive!
Han Li hesitated for a moment, then temporarily exited to continue browsing other sword techniques.
After looking through all of them, he still ultimately chose the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay.
It was a bit expensive, but the power of this sword technique was good.
It could be used for single combat or group attacks!
Gritting his teeth, Han Li chose to exchange for it.
Watching the contribution points on his identity token rapidly decrease, Han Li's heart ached.
After exchanging for the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay, Han Li spent two million contribution points in one go to exchange for forty Comprehension Pills.
At this point, his contribution points were almost depleted.
The five million rewarded contribution points were completely cleared out.
"Senior Brother Han."
After completing the exchange, just as Han Li was about to turn and leave, the female Disciple in the window called out to him.
"Hmm?"
"Junior Sister, what's the matter?" Han Li looked at the female Disciple in the window.
A blush appeared on the female Disciple's face, and she softly said, "Senior Brother Han, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to the market for a meal."
Han Li: "..."
"Sorry, I still have things to deal with, so I'll take my leave first." Han Li's heart twitched; he turned and left, instantly disappearing from the main hall.
Watching Han Li leave, the female Disciple's face showed a trace of sadness... Returning to Yuhua Peak, Han Li finally found complete peace.
In the Cultivation room, Han Li sat cross-legged on a futon, taking out a Jade Slip—this was the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay.
Han Li's True Qi stirred, and instantly, the Jade Slip vibrated. Han Li placed it on his forehead, and a large amount of information flooded into his mind.
Han Li closed his eyes, carefully absorbing the information in his mind.
After a while, he opened his eyes.
He had already perused the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay and had his own understanding of it.
This sword technique is powerful, focusing on Cultivating sword shadows.
Each sword shadow is incredibly powerful; the more sword shadows, the greater the power.
Cultivating a hundred sword shadows can evolve into the Taiqing Shadowless Sword Array.
It unleashes extremely strong destructive power.
Furthermore, this sword technique doesn't require a Spiritual Artifact; once successfully Cultivated, one can manifest sword shadows with True Qi alone, controlling them to kill enemies with a flick of a finger.
Of course, with a Spiritual Sword, the power of this sword technique can be amplified even further.
"Three million is a bit expensive, but if successfully Cultivated, its power is considerable."
"For the remaining time, I'll focus on improving my sword technique first."
Han Li got up, then stepped out of the Cultivation room, quickly arrived at the back mountain cliff, took out the Comprehension Pills, and immediately began to Cultivate... A month passed quickly.
On a cliff in the back mountain, Han Li stood at the Peak of the cliff, and behind him, the Zhan Ling Sword floated in the air.
"Buzz!"
The Zhan Ling Sword behind him vibrated, and the next second, a sword strike was unleashed, and a hundred sword shadows, like substantial divine swords, pierced through the air and struck out.
"Boom—!"
The Void Realm was shattered by the sword shadows, and terrifying Sword Qi, like a storm, destroyed everything around it, leveling an area of a hundred zhang.
Plants, trees, and rocks turned to nothing.
Under the assault of the sword shadows, nothing remained.
The cliff vibrated.
Han Li stood in the center, holding the Zhan Ling Sword, and when the sword shadows dissipated, the cliff was smooth.
"Not bad." Han Li nodded, very satisfied with the power of this strike.
After a month of arduous Cultivation, with the help of Comprehension Pills, he successfully elevated the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay to the Major Achievement Realm.
This was even faster than his Life-snatching Spear Technique.
Specializing in the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay, the improvement effect was also very significant.
With Major Achievement in the sword technique, he could manifest a hundred sword shadows, and combined with the power of the Zhan Ling Sword, he was unparalleled in combat.
Not only did he achieve a hundred sword shadows, but he could even fuse all hundred sword shadows into one.
Fusing a hundred sword shadows and then activating them with the Zhan Ling Sword could be described as earth-shattering.
This step also reached the Divine Ability level.
However, his Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay had not yet reached complete Perfection, and no Divine Ability had yet been derived from it.
In addition to the rapid improvement in sword technique, Han Li also used the Essence Pill to break through the eighth Meridian, making his True Qi even more abundant and his Cultivation level rise another step.
He was only one Meridian away from entering the Vein Opening Realm Peak.
Han Li naturally did not stop Cultivating the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art, this ultimate body-refining martial art.
The fourth Dragon Elephant Embryo already had aprototype.
However, it was still far from Perfection.
Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay (Major Achievement 1%)
Looking at the panel, Han Li exhaled.
The improvement in martial arts was quick, but the improvement in Qing Yuan Skill was very slow.
Han Li couldn't help it; Comprehension Pills had no effect on the True Qi Cultivation of Qing Yuan Skill.
The only way he could speed it up was by using the Iron Plate to assist in Cultivation.
Comprehension Pills are not omnipotent.
They work for martial arts Cultivation, but not for Cultivation Techniques.
The Cultivation of Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art and the murderous blood Qi were fast, but for Qing Yuan Skill, currently, besides the Iron Plate assistance, there was no other way to speed it up.
However, being able to reach this level was already extremely fast.
After all, Han Li's Cultivation time was short, and this speed was already very astonishing.
"The Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay has reached Major Achievement, and the remaining Comprehension Pills probably won't improve it much. With ten Comprehension Pills left, the Life-snatching Spear Technique should be able to reach Perfection."
Once decided, Han Li revealed his Fire Tipped Spear, then once again immersed himself in the Cultivation of the Life-snatching Spear Technique... Half a month passed in a flash.
A month and a half had passed since the Mountain and River Tournament, and the commotion surrounding Han Li had gradually subsided, but no one would forget him.
He left a deep impression, breaking multiple records at the Mountain and River Tournament. This achievement, in the future, will likely remain unbroken.
Han Li had essentially not left Yuhua Peak, fully immersed in Cultivation.
Focusing on improving his spear technique, Han Li's spearplay had undergone earth-shattering changes.
In the back mountain, crimson spear shadows were everywhere.
A sharp aura spread, the surrounding temperature soared, creating a scorching heatwave that swept through the area.
“Boom—!”
A single spear shattered a rock, a reverberating sound came, dust flew, the air boomed, and in the Void Realm, it was as if a peerless spear pierced through the air, obliterating everything, even the air was torn apart.
Han Li's figure stepped out from the dust.
Ten Comprehension Pills, half a month of arduous Cultivation, with all his time, except for sleeping, dedicated to Cultivation.
Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth (First Realm 1%)!
“Finally, success!”
Looking at the panel, Han Li's face broke into a brilliant smile.
Half a month of arduous Cultivation, aided by ten Comprehension Pills, he had finally elevated his Life-snatching Spear Technique to the Perfection level.
“Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth, this Divine Ability… it sounds very powerful!”
Han Li's gaze shifted, and then he opened his panel.
name: Han Li.
Realm: Vein Opening Realm Late Stage!
martial arts: Divine Travel Eight Desolations Profound-Grade Medium Grade (Perfection), Qing Yuan Skill Earth Rank High Grade (Initial Mastery 65%), Life-snatching Spear Technique Earth-Grade Low Grade (Perfection), Ben Lei Fist Profound-Grade High Grade (Perfection), Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art Heaven-Grade Low Grade (Initial Mastery 16%), Dragon Elephant Divine Fist Heaven-Grade Low Grade (Beginner 50%), Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay (Major Achievement 3%).
skill: Archery (Perfection), Alchemy (35%).
Heaven and Earth Demon Seed: (Level 4 2%).
Divine Ability: Winds Arise, Clouds Surge (Third Realm 38%), Thunder Gods Wrath (Second Realm 25%), Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth (First Realm 1%).
Demonic Origin: 0.
Looking at the panel, Han Li was very satisfied.
With the Life-snatching Spear Technique at Perfection, and having cultivated the Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth Divine Ability, the Life-snatching Spear Technique had also reached the Earth-Grade Low Grade level.
This leap in stage was enormous.
Now, apart from Divine Travel Eight Desolations, all his martial arts were Earth-Grade or Heaven-Grade.
Having cultivated the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay, he also gained an additional trump card.
Closing the panel, Han Li felt the changes within his body.
Deep within his flesh and blood, three Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos shone with golden light, while the fourth Dragon Elephant Embryo, in comparison, was as faint as a grain of rice.
The improvement of the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo was immense, but the further one progressed, the harder it became to Cultivate.
The auxiliary effect of the spiritual liquid was already struggling to provide significant improvements.
Within his Dantian, True Qi clouds condensed, and green True Qi floated.
Compared to the Mountain and River Tournament, the improvements over the past month and a half were unprecedented.
However, this had also reached its current Peak.
Han Li collected his thoughts, his gaze fixed on the direction of Qingyuan Palace.
“There’s still half a month left. If I go out to do missions, there’s no telling what unforeseen circumstances might arise. If I miss it, there won’t be a second chance. For the remaining time, oh right, Demon Suppression Valley!”
Han Li's gaze shifted towards the Demon Suppression Valley.
“The third layer. With my current strength, it shouldn’t be a problem. If I kill an Innate Demon King, the gains would be enough for me to Cultivate the fourth Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo, and even open the ninth Meridian wouldn’t be an issue.”
“Yes, I’ll go to Demon Suppression Valley.”
Han Li made up his mind.
Immediately, he tidied up and prepared some dry rations.
Demon Suppression Valley was not like the first and second layers.
The third layer was far more vast than the first and second layers combined.
The area was larger, and the number of Demon Kings was also very scarce, requiring time to search for them.
If he was lucky, he might encounter one in a day, but if not, it would take more time.
After preparing his dry rations, Han Li left Yuhua Peak and headed straight for Demon Suppression Valley… Upon arriving at Demon Suppression Valley, there weren't many figures at the entrance.
However, there were a few Disciples.
The last time Han Li came to Demon Suppression Valley was several months ago.
This time, his target was the third layer.
With the martial arts he had cultivated and his current strength, he was confident.
But everything would only become clear once he truly encountered it.
“Senior Brother Han!”
As Han Li arrived at Demon Suppression Valley, the other Disciples immediately spotted him, recognized Han Li, and one by one stepped forward to greet him.
Han Li also nodded in response.
If others smiled at him, he naturally responded with a smile; if they gave him a cold shoulder, his response would be a slap.
“Senior Brother Han, are you going to Demon Suppression Valley to hunt demonic beasts?”
A Disciple asked.
Han Li nodded.
Hearing Han Li's reply, the eyes of several Disciples lit up. They looked at him and said, “Senior Brother Han, can you take us with you? We don’t ask for anything else; all the spoils will be yours. Just take us along.”
“Next time, perhaps. This time, I have other matters to attend to.” Han Li shook his head.
Hearing this, the light in the eyes of the Disciples dimmed, but they didn't pester him. They nodded and then dispersed.
As the Disciples left, Han Li stepped into the entrance of Demon Suppression Valley.
Passing through the dark and narrow passage, Han Li entered the first layer of Demon Suppression Valley.
It seemed no different from his previous visit; everything was as it was.
Han Li didn’t linger and headed directly towards the entrance of the second layer… Arriving at the second layer, Han Li still didn’t stop.
He went towards the area leading to the third layer.
“Boom—!”
Passing through the jungle, suddenly, a tremor came from ahead, and the fluctuations of battle could be felt, along with traces of Devilish Qi.
Han Li looked in the direction of the sound, his figure flashed, and he instantly vanished from his original spot.
Soon, he arrived at a plain.
Several hundred zhang away, battle fluctuations surged, and four fierce Demon Wolves were besieging one person.
All four Demon Wolves were PeakStrange-level demonic beasts.
Their size was comparable to that of a large tiger. The person being besieged could only defend, and he was bleeding and injured, appearing very disheveled.
“Ji Boda…”
Looking at the figure, Han Li recognized him at a glance.
It was Ji Boda, the Inner Sect Disciple he had met the first time he entered the second layer.
They had also met at the Mountain and River Tournament, but had not encountered each other.
Observing the battle, Ji Boda was clearly at a disadvantage against the siege of the four Demon Wolves.
His aura was also fluctuating, and he was not lightly injured.
Han Li didn't think much, his figure like the wind, he quickly advanced.
“Roar—!”
A Dragon roar sounded, and Ji Boda, who was being besieged by the four Demon Wolves, was instantly startled. The four Demon Wolves also turned their heads in unison.
In the Void Realm, a terrifying long spear came piercing through the air.
“Awoo—!”
The Demon Wolf sensed the danger and instantly let out a long howl. A green light permeated its body, transforming into wind blades that flew towards the long spear piercing through the air.
However, the power of this spear far exceeded imagination. The Demon Wolf's wind blades instantly shattered, and with a 'puchi' sound, a spear pierced through the head of one of the Demon Wolves, instantly killing it.
The next second, a figure descended, pulled out the red long spear embedded in the Demon Wolf's body, and blood spurted out.
“Han Li!”
Looking at the figure, Ji Boda's pupils constricted, recognizing him at a glance.
At this moment, the three Demon Wolves revealed their bloodthirsty, ferocious eyes and directly pounced on Han Li.
“Om!!!”
The spear shaft vibrated, the long spear trembled, and a substantial spear shadow appeared behind Han Li.
“Boom—!”
A spear pierced through the air, and the three Demon Wolves were instantly sent flying. Before they could react, the substantial spear shadow instantly descended, piercing through the Demon Wolves' bodies, directly finishing them off.
Blood Qi emerged, and the Devil Seed was sealed.
Han Li stood holding the Fire Tipped Spear. Not far away, four Demon Wolf corpses lay motionless, undeniably dead.
Instant kill!
“His strength has improved again!”
Witnessing this scene, Ji Boda's eyelids twitched wildly.
Four PeakStrange-level Demon Wolves couldn't withstand a single blow from Han Li. That last strike even instantly killed three Demon Wolves simultaneously.
This scene utterly stimulated his heart.
He knew Han Li was powerful, but the current scene still had an extremely strong visual impact.
“Brother Ji, long time no see.” Han Li retracted his spear, his voice sounding.
Ji Boda also recovered his senses, looked at Han Li before him, and immediately cupped his hands in a bow: “Thank you, Senior Brother Han, for your assistance.”
“Fellow Disciples helping each other is only right. Brother Ji also helped me back then. It's a small matter, not worth mentioning.” Han Li said.
Hearing this, Ji Boda felt a flush of shame.
Back then, he hadn't really helped much, merely shown the way.
“Senior Brother Han overpraises me. If not for Senior Brother Han's timely assistance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save my life.” Ji Boda said, his tone filled with respect.
“It's nothing. Four demonic beasts can't cause much trouble.” Han Li smiled.
Ji Boda looked at him and said, “Senior Brother Han, are you also here to hunt demonic beasts?”
“Yes, I'm here for a visit. It's been a long time since I last came.” Han Li nodded.
Ji Boda looked at him and said, “Senior Brother Han's strength is completely Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth in the second layer.”
“Demon Suppression Valley is perilous; I can't claim to be Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth yet.” Han Li shook his head.
Ji Boda's eyes darted around. Looking at Han Li, he said, “Senior Brother Han, are you perhaps going to the third layer?”
Han Li looked at him but didn't answer, merely smiling: “Brother Ji, I still have other places to go. I'll take my leave first.”
“Swish—!”
After speaking, Han Li vanished from Ji Boda's sight in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Han Li's departing back, Ji Boda then looked at the Demon Wolf corpses.
“It seems he's probably going to the third layer, but with his strength, it probably won't be a big problem even in the third layer…”
Thoughts flashed through Ji Boda's mind.
Looking again in the direction Han Li had disappeared, he couldn't help but recall the first time he met Han Li.
“Is this guy a Reincarnation of a Heavenly God? How can he be such a Prodigy…”
He muttered to himself, then Ji Boda immediately took out a Medicinal Pill to recover from his injuries.
Even if he knew Han Li was heading to the third layer, there was nothing he could do.
Others could go, but he could only watch.
Although he was at the Tōngmài Realm Peak, people were different.
This kind of Prodigy was simply not human!
