Spirit Huan Domain, on a huge snowy mountain that was more than thirty thousand feet tall.
There was a thick layer of dark, leaden clouds in the sky, from which rumbling sounds of thunder could be heard. Bolts of dark blue lightning flickered indistinctly in the depths of the cloud layer.
Below it, wild winds howled, and the white snowflakes that filled the sky swirled wildly. It was a vast expanse, and it almost covered the entire mountain peak.
And in a place that was more than a hundred miles away from this mountain peak, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was quiet, and it formed a very clear contrast with this place.
The sharp peak at the top of the snowy mountain had been shaved off by someone with great power, and turned into a huge platform that was at least a hundred feet in circumference.
On the platform, there were dozens of black stone pillars that were a hundred feet tall. They looked messy and disorderly, but in reality, there was a secret to them, and they formed a huge ring-shaped array with two circles inside and outside.
On the ground in the middle of the array, there were complicated and intricate spirit inscriptions, and on the top of the surrounding stone pillars, there were pieces of extremely pure spirit stones.
At this moment, there was a tall and straight figure, facing the wind and snow that filled the sky, sitting cross-legged in the center of the array.
He wore a thin green robe, and his face that was not outstanding was clearly defined. His eyes that were like stars were bright and deep, and they shone with a light that could make one's heart tremble. It was Han Li.
He closed his eyes lightly, and his hands quickly formed seals in front of him. He chanted some kind of obscure incantation in a low voice, and the Little Big Dipper Origin Skill in his body quickly circulated.
In an instant, the mountain peak shone brightly.
Countless silver-white starlight directly broke through the dark clouds, and shot down from the sky. It turned into seven incomparably thick silver-white pillars of light, and enveloped the entire mountain peak.
The snowflakes that were originally flying in the wild wind, fell into the silver light, and instantly melted, turning into a cloud of water vapor, and disappeared.
Han Li formed a seal with both hands above his head, and made a gesture of raising his hands to the sky. Immediately, a dark light flashed at his waist, and the seven Star Moon Treasured Mirrors flew straight out. Each flew into a pillar of light, and radiated brilliant light.
At the same time, a strange vortex suddenly appeared above Han Li's head, and it attracted the seven treasured mirrors towards it.
As the vortex grew larger and larger, the suction force from within also grew stronger and stronger. All seven mirrors were involuntarily drawn towards the center.
As for the seven huge pillars of light, they were also pulled by this force, all of them slanting and converging towards the center.
"Boom!" A muffled sound rang out, like a clap of thunder.
The seven silver pillars of light finally converged together, fusing into a huge pillar of light that was over a thousand feet thick. It covered the entire mountain peak and connected the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, the Big Dipper in the depths of the sky shone brightly, and an astonishing change began to take place.
Starting from the Dubhe star, the Merak, Phecda, Megrez, and the rest of the seven stars actually lit up with a silvery-purple radiance in succession. Following that, they flickered one after the other.
After a few cycles, the seven stars of the Big Dipper began to shift. First, they turned from their original dipper shape into a straight line. Then, they connected their heads to their tails and turned into a circle.
Immediately after, an incomparably thick beam of silvery-purple light surged out from the ring. It seemed to have traversed millions of miles, traversed the endless night sky, and shone directly on Han Li's body.
"Whew!"
At the moment when the silvery-purple light fell on his body, Han Li's clothes instantly turned into ashes.
His skin immediately shone with a silver light and became extremely translucent.
Through his skin, it could even be seen that the muscles and bones in his body had also begun to change. Originally, it was only covered with a faint layer of silver luster, but now it had become as if it was wrapped in silver paste.
A loud buzzing sound could be heard on the snow-capped peak.
Countless silver light fragments replaced the original flying snow and scattered down, turning into a huge spherical light curtain that enveloped the entire mountain peak. Bursts of terrifying spiritual power fluctuations were emitted from it.
As this fluctuation continued to strengthen, the entire mountain peak began to shake violently. Even the surrounding mountain range also became extremely unstable.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, the earth was constantly shaking. Many places directly split open a long and winding crack, and some even caused the riverbed to change, causing the river to change its course.
In the nearby dense primeval jungle, yellow dust rose everywhere, and countless beasts ran wildly in the forest, making loud roars.
In the sky above the jungle, dense birds and flying beasts flapped their wings and flew out of the forest, covering a large area of the sky.
"Boom!"
Hundreds of miles away, a tall volcano that had been silent for more than ten thousand years, at this moment, under the continuous impact of this shock, erupted again.
A large amount of dark red magma, wrapped in thick black smoke, spewed out from the crater of the volcano straight to the sky.
Countless burning red rocks were first thrown high up, and soon fell down like a meteor shower, drawing a long tail in the night sky, passing through the layers of volcanic ash and smashing into the forest.
A large area of the forest was immediately ignited with raging flames. In the billowing smoke, half of the night sky was illuminated with fiery red.
In the entire mountain range, more than a dozen streams of light flew out from different places, all hovering in the sky hundreds of miles away from the silver light ball.
Among these people, there were handsome young masters and graceful middle-aged women, but most of them were old men. Most of them were alone, and there were very few who were in groups of three or five.
They were all rogue cultivators hidden in this mountain range, and their strength varied. Among them, the weakest was at the late Core Formation stage, and the strongest was only at the middle Void Refinement stage.
Besides them, there were some people with strange appearances. Some had vertical horns on their heads, some had multicolored markings on their bodies, some were covered in a layer of fur, and some even had the head of a ferocious beast. They seemed to be demon cultivators.
However, whether it was the human cultivators or the demon cultivators, at this moment, all of them looked at the top of the snow mountain with horror and doubt, but no one dared to approach to investigate.
"Such power, is there a Mahayana cultivator who is about to transcend the tribulation and ascend?" A white robed Youth looked at the various strange phenomena on the snow mountain and said in surprise.
Another thin old man who came here with him shook his head and said, "I don't think so.
It doesn't look like it. It doesn't look like a thunder tribulation at all. It looks like someone is practicing an extremely mysterious cultivation method and is about to achieve great success. That's why such a strange phenomenon is caused. "
"Cultivation method?
How is this possible … "
The white-robed young man sucked in a breath of cold air. He couldn't believe that a cultivation technique alone could cause such a large-scale Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the top of the mountain, and a powerful wave of air suddenly swept in all directions in a ring with the snow mountain as the center.
When the people who were hundreds of miles away saw this, they all turned into streams of light and flew backward. There was a demon cultivator with low cultivation who was caught by the air wave before he could retreat far. He was immediately beaten until blood spurted out of his mouth and his body was in tatters. He almost ended up dead.
After fleeing for another hundred or so miles, everyone stopped and looked over with lingering fear.
They saw that the spherical light screen that enveloped the entire snow mountain expanded again, covering a larger area. The entire snow mountain became blurry, and only a vague outline could be seen.
…
At the same time.
On the Nine Palace Peak of the Realm Temple, Taoist He Shan, who was as fat as a mountain of meat, was standing on the Star Gathering Platform. He looked at the Big Dipper that had changed in the night sky with a complicated expression.
Previously, under Han Li's oppression, he was forced to destroy the communication array between the sect and the Immortal Realm, which could be considered as a complete betrayal of Spiritual Master Clarity.
Now that this person was about to leave, he needed to think carefully about what methods the Patriarch in the Immortal Realm would use to investigate and how to deal with him.
Besides, the Leng Yan Sect had been developing rapidly these years, openly and secretly absorbing many small and medium-sized forces to attach themselves to, and had the momentum to be on par with the Realm Temple. Once Han Li left, this Spirit Huan Domain would probably not be peaceful again …
Thinking of this, Taoist He Shan couldn't help but sigh.
…
Coincidentally, on the square at the top of the Sacred Fire Peak of the Leng Yan Sect.
Sima Jingming, who was dressed in a purple robe, was also holding the white jade railing with both hands, looking up at the night sky with a complicated expression.
After a while, he let out a long breath and said as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden,
"Senior Han, you're finally going to leave …"
Although the Leng Yan Sect had greatly increased in strength after absorbing the Tengui School, Han Li's existence was like an invisible mountain, pressing on his heart.
Although their Icy Flames Sect didn't have a hostile relationship with Han Li and instead got along quite well with him, the existence of a person who could destroy a sect with a wave of his hand was tantamount to having a talisman that could explode at any time. No one would feel at ease.
…
At this moment, in a remote cave abode on the Cloud Protruding Peak.
Gu Yunyue, who was dressed in white, and Yu Menghan, who was dressed in a palace dress, were sitting opposite each other at the stone table in the courtyard.
The latter was raising her small face, looking at the ring-shaped Big Dipper in the night sky and the strange silver-purple light pillar. Her eyes were a little blurred.
"This Elder Han really treats you well. Not only did he leave this cave abode to you, but he also left so many magic treasures and pills. These resources are no less than a small sect. It's more than enough for you to use until you reach the Spirit Severing stage." Gu Yunyue looked at her appearance and revealed a gentle smile, saying with a hint of ridicule.
Yu Menghan was taken aback when she heard this, then she suddenly came back to her senses and said:
"Elder Han probably remembers the matter of me bringing him and sister Le'Er into the mansion, that's why he treats me so well.
Actually, speaking of which, that bit of kindness has already been repaid long ago. Instead, I … owe Elder Han a bit more. "
Hearing this, Gu Yunyue smiled and shook her head without saying anything.
The master and disciple didn't say anything more. In the small courtyard, it was silent.
…
And in a cave abode halfway up the Cloud Protruding Peak.
An old I, wearing a lotus crown and a grey robe, was sitting cross-legged in a secret room. It was Daoist White Stone.
In front of him, there was an ancient book with a yellowish paper. On it were five ancient words, "Mystic Water Refining Soul Record".
This ancient book was a superior ghost cultivation method from the Tengui School. It was an important secret book that would never be passed on to outsiders, so when Han Li suddenly appeared and casually gave it to him, he almost didn't dare to believe it.
On the day he received it, he began to study it carefully. Now that he had cultivated it to the second level, the bottleneck of the early Core Formation stage that he had been stuck at for many years finally loosened a little.
