Chapter 1183: Volume 7 Across the Human World Chapter 1179 Blood Moon Seeking Spirit

Several hours later, Han Li finally escaped from the crevice in the inner valley, but immediately he stopped his streak of light, hanging motionless in the cold wind.

The inner valley still imposed considerable restrictions on Divine Sense. Merely searching with spiritual sense would likely require a lot of effort.

After thinking for a moment, Han Li slapped his spirit beast pouch at his waist.

Suddenly, a buzzing noise erupted as countless Gold Devouring Bugs swarmed out of the pouch, transforming into a golden cloud of beetles hovering above his head.

His hands swiftly formed incantations, casting several spells into the cloud of beetles, then he sat down cross-legged on the spot and slowly closed his eyes.

With a ‘puff’, the golden cloud of beetles burst apart on their own, metamorphosing into thousands of golden beetles that shot off in all directions, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Han Li had deployed the Divine Skills Transforming into a Thousand, beginning his search for the three women at this very spot.

According to his thoughts, the three women, each bearing the surname Song and merely at Core Formation cultivation, were not the reckless type; even if they ventured into the inner valley, they wouldn’t go too deep. Thus, the search area was significantly reduced.

Under the simultaneous deployment of tens of thousands of Gold Devouring Bugs, a vast area was searched repeatedly. With no clues found, Han Li then flew over a hundred more miles to continue dispatching the bugs for a new search.

In this manner, when Han Li reached the great mountain where the three women were gathering Spiritual Medicines, he naturally discovered some traces left by the three women from the day they gathered medicines.

Excited, Han Li personally went to these places to scrutinize them thoroughly after learning of the findings through the spiritual sense attached to the Gold Devouring Bugs.

As expected, he found some clues, confirming that the three women had indeed entered the inner valley and had stayed in this mountain.

However, when he expanded the search area further, there were no more traces of the three women.

Eventually, Han Li had no choice but to return to the top of the mountain and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly let out a long howl; the Gold Devouring Bugs covering dozens of miles around hurriedly flew back, being collected back into the spirit beast pouch.

But immediately after, Han Li threw another pouch.

This time, twelve winged, snow-white centipedes flew out of the pouch.

These were indeed the twelve Six-Winged Frost Centipedes!

Han Li formed incantations with his hands, and under the push of his spiritual sense, the twelve snow-white centipedes dispersed in all directions, transforming into twelve streams of cold wind and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Han Li then quietly stood still on the spot, not moving at all.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Li’s expression changed slightly, and in a flash, he transformed into a cyan rainbow flying back the way he came.

It was only a moment before he saw a snow-white centipede hovering uncertainly in the air at a certain spot, issuing low whining sounds.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a flicker, his light immediately reached beneath the snow-white centipede.

He looked down at the ground.

There, a black, thin object appeared in Han Li’s field of view.

Lying among a pile of tangled grass, the object resembled an inconspicuous black dried branch, which explained why it had gone unnoticed by the Transforming into a Thousand Divine Skills before.

Han Li frowned, raised his hand to summon, and the object that resembled a dried branch was instantly sucked into his hand.

But upon a close look, his expression changed subtly.

It was not any branch; it was a small segment of a tentacle, and judging from the icy chill emanating from it, it was definitely a Six-Winged Frost Centipede’s tentacle.

However, the tentacle of a Six-Winged Frost Centipede should be snow-white, and now it was pitch black like ink, mixed with a sinister aura; Han Li found it all too familiar.

Profound Yin Devil Qi! And such pure concentration, it even seemed to surpass Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin.

As Han Li gently stroked the small tentacle segment with his finger, turbulent thoughts surged like stormy waves inside him.

To know that the Profound Yin Devil Qi arises from the practice of the Profound Yin Scripture, a magic cultivation technique which only the late Martial Ancestor Zenith Yin and Wu Chou had cultivated under him. It was unlikely that any other disciples of Martial Ancestor had received the true transmission of this magic technique or could have cultivated such pure devil qi and come to Tian Luo.

Han Li’s expression fluctuated, falling silent.

“No, there’s still one thing that knows all the Incantations of the Profound Yin Scripture and has also cultivated the Profound Yin Devil Qi, seemingly having the capacity to cultivate the qi to such purity.” A sudden thought flashed across Han Li’s mind, making his expression turn strange.

“Wood Spirit Nascent Soul, could this object have also returned to Tian Luo!” Han Li looked up at the sky and murmured softly to himself.

For this missing second Nascent Soul, he had always been concerned.

After returning to Tian Luo, he should have immediately set off to search for this Nascent Soul, but since Nangong Wan had not yet extricated herself from the ice wall, he was not assured and naturally was reluctant to travel far again.

Moreover, after so many years, if this second Nascent Soul had developed a consciousness, it likely would have done so by now. A few years here or there wouldn’t make much of a difference anymore.

Thus, he decided to set this matter aside for the time being and planned to make a dedicated trip to the Moulan Prairies in a few years. But now it seems that the second Nascent Soul transformed by the Wood Spirit Nascent has voluntarily returned to Tian Luo and hidden itself in Devilfall Valley.

If that is the case, the disappearance of the three girls, including Mu Peiling, is mostly related to it, and they should not have met with any mishap yet.

After all, the memories and emotions of this Nascent Soul are a complete copy of his own. Even after these years, although its temperament might have changed, it’s rather unlikely that it would mercilessly destroy these three girls.

Han Li pondered deeply about the various possibilities in his mind.

However, so many years have passed. This second Nascent Soul probably already has its own body. Since entering the inner valley, he has not sensed the existence of the Heaven Extermination Devil Corpse, into which he had implanted a strand of his spiritual sense. With this in mind, it seems that the Devil Corpse was either subdued by the second Nascent Soul or directly assimilated by it.

Han Li’s thoughts raced like lightning, and after a slight change in perspective, he almost instantly guessed the truth of the matter.

He touched his chin and took a long breath.

At this moment, the remaining centipedes flew back from other directions, not seeming to have found anything else.

Seeing this, Han Li was not surprised in the slightest.

The reason why he recalled the Gold Devouring Beetles and released the twelve Six-Winged Frost Centipedes was naturally because Liu Yu’er also carried larvae of the Six-Winged Frost Centipede with her. Although her spirit beetles were far less advanced than his own, using their mutual sensing it was still possible to find the three girls.

But since the person making a move might be the second Nascent Soul, they must have been wary of this method as well.

Han Li’s face was somber as he recalled the centipedes and silently pondered.

“It seems that I really have to use that method to track their whereabouts. This method, obtained later, is a secret technique. He naturally cannot defend against it. It will just tax some of my blood essence.” Han Li sighed lightly, murmuring as if somewhat reluctant.

Nevertheless, he finally slapped his storage pouch at his waist, and a Misty White Jade Dish and a Crimson Small Flag appeared in his hand. He tossed them into the air, transforming them into two lights, one white and one red, that circled before hovering motionlessly in front of him.

Then Han Li opened his mouth, and a mass of azure mist enveloped the Array Plate, and he gently scraped one finger across the wrist of his other hand,

An azure streak flashed, and a fine cut appeared on his wrist, from which several drops of blood essence then flowed.

Han Li blew gently, and these few drops of blood essence instantly disappeared into the white jade dish.

Han Li gently tapped the Crimson Small Flag, which under his control flew above the Array Plate and trembled slightly, suddenly transforming into a cloud of blood mist, enveloping the jade dish within it.

But under the Oracular Formula uttered by Han Li, the jade dish also emitted blood light, and a mass of blood mist formed by blood essence rose up. Both mists intertwined and mixed, indistinguishable from each other.

Suddenly, Han Li let out a low shout, and his face briefly flashed with paleness as he pointed intensely at the jade dish.

Instantly, the white jade dish burst into bright blood light, as if transforming into a blood-colored full moon in a moment, absorbing all the blood mist after merely a few flashes.

Seizing this opportunity, Han Li shouted lowly and pointed intensively at the jade dish with a single hand.

Immediately, a green light burst from the tip of his finger, shooting into the center of the jade dish and disappearing without a trace.

The Blood Moon suddenly started buzzing loudly, quivering as if sentient, looking to immediately soar into the sky.

Han Li’s eyes dimmed slightly, and a bitter smile also appeared at the corners of his mouth.

“This Blood Moon Seeking Spirit technique from the Great Development Technique, it’s the first time I’m using it; I’m not sure if it’s truly as miraculous as said. Now, I can only try it out. However, if I hadn’t initially placed the Soul Binding Restriction on Mu Peiling and reserved a few drops of her blood essence, this secret technique would have been impossible to perform,” Han Li murmured a few words, then immediately swallowed a medicinal pill and sat down cross-legged on the spot for a while.

Half an hour later, when Han Li reopened his eyes, his gaze was once again full.

Without another word, he cast an Incantation towards the jade dish transformed into a Blood Moon, and immediately the Blood Moon turned into a dazzling blood-red beam, shooting towards the distance.

Han Li’s figure flickered, also turning into a streak of azure light, chasing closely after it.

Moments later, as one fled and the other pursued, they disappeared without a trace near the azure mountain.

The speed of the blood-red light group’s flight always remained consistent, and Han Li’s expression remained unchanged, inching closely behind it.

After flying for nearly half a day, Han Li was led by this blood group to an exceptionally desolate and immense basin.

Immediately, a wave of scorching high temperature hit him head-on.

Han Li’s expression subtly shifted, and he noticed that everything in the basin was black and red. The rim of the basin was filled with rounded black stones, while the center was a lake of molten lava– the high temperature emanating from the fire lake even began to distort and wobble the air above the basin, presenting an alluring dreamy sight.

And that sphere of blood light was hovering uneasily over the lava lake, while emitting piercing buzzing sounds, making it seem like it wanted to go down but yet dared not.

Han Li stroked his chin, scrutinizing the lava below, and suddenly a cold smile appeared on his face:

“Hehe, it really did find a good place to hide people. If it weren’t for the guidance of the secret technique, I truly wouldn’t have been able to find this place. But now that I know its location, merely some lava can’t stop me!”
