“It’s done.”
Han Li looked at Lu Tianxiang and embraced her with a kiss.
A look of excitement emerged on Lu Tianxiang’s face as well. They had been watching the entire battle, and with the protection of the Time-Sky Tower and the Void Bell, they hadn’t suffered any harm.
“Zi Yi, retrieve all the memories from the True Spirit,” Han Li instructed.
After all, this was the True Spirit of a Saint from the Saint Abyss Realm; Han Li didn’t dare to act personally, worrying about any accidents, so it was safest to let the divine weapon do it.
“Okay, Master~”
Zi Yi complied, and a strand of the Emperor’s Light from the Void Bell fell onto the True Spirit within the Emperor Formation Diagrams.
This fisherman’s True Spirit still wanted to resist, having hidden techniques and intending an assassination on Han Li. He hadn’t anticipated Han Li to be so cautious, not falling for it.
Soon, Zi Yi had extracted all the memories stored within the True Spirit, and she also casually extinguished it.
After Zi Yi transferred the memories to him, Han Li absorbed and digested them, then sighed.
This fisherman really was someone on the same path. The truth was completely different from what the fisherman had said.
The fisherman had lived for over five thousand years. In his youth, he underwent some melodramatic events. His childhood sweetheart conspired with an outsider to push him off a cliff, leading to an unexpected adventure for him.
In the middle of that cliff was an Ancient Secret Realm. Anyone who fell off the cliff would get sucked into it, and only those who passed its trials could leave alive.
The fisherman passed the tests and obtained the inheritance of the Secret Realm. The master of this Ancient Secret Realm was a Great Emperor from the Heaven Imperial Realm. The Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture was his Cultivation Technique, indeed an Immortal Scripture, but not one he had created himself.
The bronze ancient sword was his personal Emperor Weapon, and the Silver Sky Spear was also one of his Emperor Weapons.
Before the outbreak of the Ancient Cataclysm, this Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor rejected the Sacred Land’s invitation, hid in this Secret Territory, hoping to survive, but ultimately, he did not succeed.
After receiving the Emperor’s legacy, the fisherman also took the Emperor Weapons with him, though they did not recognize him as their master. Nevertheless, he left with them, triumphantly returning home to experience another melodramatic tale.
Later, the fisherman quickly cultivated to the Divine Yuan Realm using the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture. Due to some matters, he clashed with the Sacred Land. At that time, he thought with the bronze ancient sword, the Sacred Land couldn’t do anything to him.
Then, the fisherman got a lesson, suffered a beating, and barely escaped Qianyuan Divine Province, coming here to South Sea to hide on this island.
After that incident, the fisherman didn’t dare cause trouble again, became more cautious, deciding to become a fisherman. Apart from occasionally sneaking back to Qianyuan Divine Province to set up ruins and Secret Territories, leaving behind the first half of the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture, he stayed here most of the time.
For thousands of years, many True Martial Realm Emperors Wu came here and were all eaten by the fisherman. He refined their gathered faith to use for himself, enhancing his cultivation.
He also quietly spread teachings in the South Sea, becoming a deity in the hearts of countless common folk, gaining enormous faith that allowed his cultivation to soar, advancing to the Saint Abyss Realm.
The fisherman had originally wanted to continue laying low for tens of thousands of years until he could cultivate to the Quasi Emperor, even the Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor, and then take his revenge. However, he met Han Li and prematurely met his end.
“A precedent for others to learn from,” Han Li remarked sentimentally. In the end, he took the Silver Sky Spear and the fisherman’s spatial belt, boarded the Sky God War Chariot with Lu Tianxiang, and began the journey back.
On the return trip, Han Li inspected the fisherman’s spatial belt and was quite satisfied with the spoils. After all, the man had inherited part of the legacy of the Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor; it was rich enough to significantly bolster the foundation of Han Mansion.
Han Li carefully examined the complete version of the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture and discovered that this cultivation technique actually had significant flaws, making it very difficult to become immortal.
While accepting the incense offerings of all beings could make one’s cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, in the end, it would trap the practitioner in the incense offerings, making it impossible to become immortal.
Immortality required transcending tribulation and cleansing karma, but the karma associated with the incense offerings of all beings was too immense, making it even more challenging to break free than the regular path to immortality, more than ten times harder.
Of course, once the path to immortality was clear, such an immortal would be much stronger than an ordinary Heavenly Immortal. Generally speaking, the more powerful the heavenly tribulation, the stronger the Heavenly Immortal that emerged from it.
After some thought, Han Li said to Lu Tianxiang, “Xiangxiang, you must cultivate this Immortal Scripture with caution. It is best to integrate it with the Yin and Yang Five Elements Scripture and then use this scripture as the core to deduce a cultivation technique that suits you well.”
Lu Tianxiang nodded and said, “Don’t worry, husband; I understand.”
She had read the complete version of the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture and was aware of its risks. Lacking the confidence to transcend the Immortal Tribulation, she had no choice but to seek another method.
By integrating it with the Yin and Yang Five Elements Scripture and transforming it into another cultivation technique suitable for her, she might be able to extract the essence of the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture and ultimately perhaps find a way through.
“As long as you understand,” he replied.
Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, his mind at ease, and then turned his thoughts to another matter.
It concerned the decline of the Qianyuan Divine Province.
He had learned of this from the memories of the fisherman, who in turn knew it from the inheritance of the Great Emperor.
“So the Qianyuan Divine Province of ancient times actually had such a background,” Han Li silently sighed.
In ancient times, the Qianyuan Divine Province was home to a True Immortal and several Heavenly Immortals, one of the most dominant forces in the whole Endless Yuankun Domain, pressing down on the domain and ruling over the Thirty-three Divine Provinces in all their glory.
To surmount the great ancient catastrophe, the True Immortal of the Qianyuan Divine Province led the way, and together with several Heavenly Immortals, they devised a shocking and outrageous plan.
This plan involved all aspects of the Qianyuan Divine Province and even included the Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperors and Quasi Emperors of the Thirty-three Divine Provinces, with even the pinnacle of the Saintly Abyss Realm joining in.
If successful, they would reap enormous benefits, and they would not have to worry about the catastrophe in the future, able to live freely and enjoy longevity.
The Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor who lay hidden in the Secret Territory was pessimistic about this, declining the invitation. As he expected, the Qianyuan Divine Province failed, suffered heavy losses, and fell into decline, never recovering. The Great Emperor also did not survive the catastrophe.
“Fortunately, the old ancestor still has more than two billion years,” Han Li muttered to himself. He still had plenty of time to grow, more than two billion years to become strong enough to survive the great catastrophe, and to protect the Han Mansion.
Not long after, the Sky God War Chariot silently returned to the Han Mansion at Chengsheng Mountain.
Han Li and Lu Tianxiang both began cultivating the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture, one as a secondary practice and the other as a primary one.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
In the Xuan Domain, Dangyang Mountain,
The seal here completely shattered, a terrifying aura surged to the skies and affected a vast stretch of the Xuan Domain, causing a major upheaval.
All eyes in the Qianyuan Divine Province turned towards this event.
