After bidding farewell to the tiger-faced man, Han Li immediately issued a mission to identify the giant white egg and the green plume feather in the Anicca Alliance, then he took off the ox mask.
After putting away the mask, he immediately took out the Moving Star Mother-Child Plate, removed the Moving Star Stone on it, and replaced it with eight second-grade Moving Star Stones, then he cast a spell.
A dazzling light bloomed from the Moving Star Mother-Child Plate, but the Mother-Child Plate also trembled violently, and an inexplicable spatial fluctuation escaped from it.
With the tiger-faced man's reminder, Han Li did not feel surprised. After a little hesitation, he immediately took out a Big Dipper Star Plate and half of the Moving Star Stone, then he cast a spell.
Buzz!
The surface of the Moving Star Mother-Child Plate suddenly lit up with a strong light, emitting bursts of more and more intense spatial fluctuations, and it seemed very unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
This scene made Han Li's pupils shrink slightly.
"Bang", this strange change lasted for less than two or three seconds, and the plate finally burst into pieces.
Before it shattered, the Big Dipper Star Plate also disappeared in the light.
When Han Li saw this, he still felt somewhat uneasy. After all, this new set of formation plates had exhausted a majority of his current wealth. If they were to be destroyed by the spatial fluctuations, it would be quite a heartache.
He chanted and quickly activated the Big Dipper Star Plate.
As the mysterious inscriptions on the surface of the plate lit up, finally, with a buzz, a bright blue light appeared, condensing into a blue light array above the plate. Countless white light spots appeared in it, like the stars blinking in the night sky.
The void in the center of the blue light array moved, and a large mass of black liquid emerged. It was the Heavy Water.
The transmission process was extremely smooth, without the slightest delay.
Seeing this, Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. With a wave of one hand, he kept the Heavy Water.
The Big Dipper Star Plate flashed repeatedly, and masses of Heavy Water emerged. The Heavy Water that the Earth God Incarnation had condensed over the years was all transmitted over in less than half an hour.
Han Li touched the Real Water Bag on his waist and nodded with satisfaction.
The heavy water inside had already reached the level of two small streams. With such heavy water, he could do a lot more things.
Although he had paid a huge price, it was worth it as long as he could solve this problem that had plagued him for many years.
After putting away the Big Dipper Stars Plate, he sat cross-legged on the spot for a day. After calming his mind completely, he immediately took out the "True Word Reincarnation Scripture". After carefully thinking about the first stage of the scripture from beginning to end, he continued to cultivate and comprehend.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Inside the abode, Han Li was sitting cross-legged, motionless like a statue, but his body was emitting a faint golden light.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes.
Even though the True Word Transformation Scripture was difficult and obscure, during these past three months, his cultivation had actually been unusually smooth. The bottleneck that was difficult to surmount mentioned in the Scripture Annotation was actually directly surmounted by him like water flowing into a canal, and it was practically as easy as blowing off dust.
The first time such a strange situation occurred, he thought it was a coincidence or a fluke, but when it was the same for the second and third time, he couldn't help but start to mutter in his heart.
"Could it be … that my physique just happens to be suitable to cultivate this technique?"
It was no wonder that he thought so. After all, according to the Scripture Annotation, every bottleneck would be stuck for at least a few years, and it was not surprising for it to be stuck for decades or even hundreds of years. There were even many people who gave up because of this every year.
If there wasn't any special reason, he would never believe that he would be so smooth.
However, when he first stepped on the path of cultivation, his aptitude was mediocre, even worse than the vast majority of people, let alone possessing a gifted spiritual body.
However, when he cultivated to almost every bottleneck that was difficult to surmount, he didn't spend much effort to directly surmount it. At the same time, his heart was filled with doubts, but he was also a little overjoyed.
No matter what, it was not a bad thing to be able to be so smooth.
According to this progress, most people might not be able to condense the True Word Treasure Wheel successfully even after hundreds or thousands of years, but he would probably be able to succeed in a few years.
With this thought in mind, he immediately stopped thinking about it and continued to concentrate on his cultivation.
Time flew, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Clouds drifted over the Crimson Afterglow Peak, like countless silk fluttering in the wind. A red sun slowly rose from the east, sprinkling down golden light, illuminating the peak with a faint golden color.
Everything on the Crimson Afterglow Peak was the same as before, but it was not that there was no change. It was that the fire miasma that originally pervaded the entire peak had unknowingly subsided a lot.
Below the mountainside, the scarlet fire miasma still pervaded the air, but the mountainside had already returned to clear.
Meng Yungui and the others who lived here arrived at the peak early at the first glimmer of dawn. After facing the morning sun and breathing for a while, they each performed their own duties and cleaned up every corner of the peak.
Everyone had a clear division of labor. Although there were only ten people, they managed to tidy up such a large courtyard, including the nearby Spirit Medicine Nursery, and the cave of the Spirit Beast on the mountainside.
Although the Crimson Afterglow Peak was not considered an excellent Spirit Vein in the entire Zhong Ming Mountain Range, the density of the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth here was still far from being comparable to other places in the Ancient Cloud Continent. It could be regarded as a paradise suitable for cultivation. Coupled with some medicinal pills that Han Li had previously given them, their cultivation had also improved to varying degrees.
In particular, Meng Qianqian's cultivation had broken through two small realms in a row. Now, she was already a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Moreover, her aura was restrained, and she was only one step away from condensing her Gold Core. She could be considered to have reached the False Core Realm.
Compared to three years ago, the childishness on this woman's face had faded a lot, and her face had become more exquisite and delicate, becoming more and more pure and beautiful.
"Elder Li has been in seclusion for a long time this time, right?" Meng Qianqian was cleaning the Spirit Medicine Nursery, her big eyes looking at the tightly closed cave residence behind her from time to time.
"When one's cultivation has reached the level of an Immortal like Elder Li, it's normal for him to go into seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Recently, you've reached the critical moment of condensing your Gold Core. Are you lacking in spirit stones and medicinal pills? "Meng Yungui asked.
"No," Meng Qianqian said softly.
"Qianqian, you must remember, we were chosen by Elder Li to serve here, and it is already a great fortune for us.
Although Elder Li doesn't put on airs with us, as his servants, we must never forget our identities. "Meng Yungui stopped and reminded her in a serious tone.
"Big Brother is right, I understand." Meng Qianqian lowered her head and nodded slowly.
"I still have some spirit stones here, you can take them first …" Meng Yungui's expression relaxed when she saw this. She rubbed Meng Qianqian's head and was about to say something.
Rumble!
A loud noise that sounded like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder suddenly exploded. The entire Crimson Afterglow Peak shook and swayed, causing many birds and beasts that were resting on the peak to fly back to their original positions.
Immediately after, the originally clear blue sky suddenly changed color. A large patch of black clouds appeared out of nowhere and enveloped the entire sky above Crimson Afterglow Peak. They tumbled about nonstop.
The spirit qi in the world surged madly and gathered together to form an incredibly huge spirit qi vortex.
The center of the spirit qi vortex was the cave abode at the back of the mountain.
Meng Yungui and Meng Qianqian might have been surprised by this drastic change, but they were not too shocked.
It was the same for the others.
Their Elder Li was unfathomable, and they did not know what sort of divine technique he practiced. He would often cause this sort of change in weather, and it would basically happen once a month. They had long since gotten used to it.
Meng Yungui stared at the dark clouds in the sky and frowned slightly.
The scene before him seemed to be slightly different from the drastic changes that usually happened.
'Meng Yungui, oh Meng Yungui, why did you forget what you said to Qianqian just now?
Elder Li's matters are not something you can guess. Just be at ease and be your servant. Ignorance is blameless! 'He immediately shook his head and gave up on the thought in his heart before he continued cleaning.
In the secret room of the cave abode, Han Li's entire body was enveloped by a dazzling faint golden light. Even his facial features looked a little blurry.
The spirit qi in the world surged toward him from all directions, and the faint golden light on his body became brighter and brighter. It formed a faint golden sea of light that could not be looked at directly, and it flooded the entire secret room.
A huge wave of spirituality surged toward the surroundings like a tidal wave, but it was blocked by the restrictions around the cave abode.
After a full two hours, the gathering of the spirit qi in the world slowly stopped.
The dark clouds in the sky above Crimson Afterglow Peak gradually dispersed, and the blue sky returned. The sky was clear, and the scene of the dark clouds covering the sky earlier seemed like an illusion.
In the secret room of the cave abode, the vast sea of light trembled and gathered toward Han Li's body like a whale sucking in water. In the time it took for a few breaths, it completely entered his body.
A golden spot of light appeared on Han Li's lower abdomen, and it flickered. When it was bright, it was dazzling and eye-catching, but when it was dim, it was almost non-existent.
The golden spot of light was like a small mouth that was breathing. Every time it flashed, a large amount of spirit qi would enter it.
At the same time, there was a buzzing sound on his back, and a faint golden wheel about a foot in size appeared, and it slowly rotated.
Auspicious clouds formed by golden auspicious qi appeared around the wheel, and the surrounding spirit qi produced a strong resonance with it, producing a wonderful Sanskrit sound, as if it was praising this golden wheel.
The auspicious qi and auspicious clouds rotated rapidly around the wheel, and gradually turned into translucent light threads. They gathered together, and after a flash, they turned into two translucent runes, which were inscribed on the wheel.
The runes were very agile, and they flashed and twisted like living creatures.
An inconspicuous fluctuation of laws was emitted from the two runes.
Han Li slowly opened his eyes, and lowered his head to observe his body. His eyes paused on the golden spot of light for a while, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.
After three years of hard work, he had finally opened the first immortal aperture in his body, and he could be considered to have taken the first step to the True Immortal Realm.
