"Master, your aura …" The Weeping Soul looked at Han Li from head to toe. Suddenly, its expression changed, and it transmitted its voice to him.
"You've also noticed that my aura is very unstable.
The Corpse Slaying Immortal Talisman is not only used to split the Evil Corpse's soul, but it also promotes my cultivation to a certain extent. It's just that my current state is very strange … Other than the 460 Immortal Apertures that I've already opened, there are still 380 Immortal Apertures that are half-open, "Han Li replied with a sigh.
He was not sure about his current situation, but he vaguely felt that it was the power of the Corpse Slaying Immortal Talisman that increased his Immortal Apertures to 840.
This was because 840 Immortal Apertures were the threshold to the Middle-stage of the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm. It was also the foundation of the Evil Corpse Separation. However, his current state was that one of his legs had crossed the threshold, and the other was still firmly stuck outside the door. It was a rather awkward situation.
"However, it looks like your cultivation base is much higher than before, Master," the Weeping Soul Beast said.
Lan Yan was still feeling anxious just now, but now that she saw that Han Li had woken up and heard his words, she felt at ease for no reason.
"Master, what should we do next?
That Qu Lin seems to want to find Jin Tong as well. Should we go after him, or … "The Weeping Soul hesitated for a moment before asking.
Han Li was also hesitant, and he pondered deeply.
"Master, I can feel Boss' aura. Let me out, quickly." At this moment, Little White's voice sounded in Han Li's mind.
Han Li was overjoyed. He raised one hand and let Little White out.
Little White had transformed into the form of a Pixiu. As soon as it appeared, it immediately sniffed the air with its nose.
"This way."
It ran toward the depths of the collapsed underground space with its four hooves. Soon, it arrived in front of the stone door at the deepest part of the underground space.
At this moment, half of the stone door had already collapsed, and it was unknown whether it was destroyed in the fierce battle just now.
Little White's body shot through the half of the stone door with a 'swoosh'.
Han Li hurriedly followed with the Weeping Soul and Lan Yan.
There was another passage behind the stone door, but it was not very long. They soon reached the end.
At the bottom of the passageway was another tightly shut stone door.
The stone door exuded a dark metallic luster, giving off a feeling of indestructibility. There was also a thick layer of black light on the stone door, with countless worm-like runes wriggling on it, forming a complex magic array.
Whitey opened its mouth and spat out a ray of white light. Countless runes surged within the white light and fiercely struck the stone door.
"Bang!" A ball of dazzling white light exploded on the stone door.
The stone gate trembled, and the black spell formation on it was also violently disrupted. It emitted ripple-like black light, but it stubbornly resisted the impact of the white light.
Xiao Bai frowned and was about to attack again.
At this moment, Han Li had already caught up from behind. Without thinking, he flicked his fingers.
Seven or eight beams of golden Sword Qi shot out. The Sword Qi flickered with golden arcs of lightning, exploding with astonishing Lightning Laws. They slashed at the stone door like meteors.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" With a series of loud noises, balls of golden light exploded on the stone door, easily tearing apart the array formation on the stone door.
"Rumble!"
Golden arcs of lightning flashed, and the stone door behind also exploded, turning into a pile of rubble.
Han Li rejoiced at the sight of this.
Right now, the more than three hundred immortal apertures in his body were half open, and the rate at which they could absorb and release the world's essence qi increased sharply. The power of the Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword also increased greatly. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
"Let's go." Han Li called for the others to continue forward.
The space ahead suddenly opened up, and another green-black stone room appeared.
Although this stone room was slightly smaller than the previous underground space, there were many things set up inside, and it was not empty.
In the center of the green-black stone room, there was a giant spell formation in the shape of nine palaces. In the center of the spell formation was a black jade crystal coffin, and it was unknown what it was used for.
Around the stone room were seven or eight smaller rooms. They were scattered in picturesque disorder, and it looked very much like a cave abode.
"Could this be that Gui Lingzi's cave abode?" Han Li looked around and guessed.
But Weeping Soul did not care about anything else. Its eyes were fixed on the black crystal coffin in the spell formation, and traces of strange light appeared in its eyes.
"Boss's scent came from here." Little White flew and landed in front of a room, and raised its paw to push the door.
"Boom!" The stone door was easily pushed open, and there was no restriction on the door.
Han Li and Lan Yan hurriedly flew over and landed in front of the room.
The room was quite spacious, and there was a huge white cage in the center. It was clearly made of some kind of special precious jade.
The cage was inscribed with spirit patterns, and there were many talismans stuck on it. It was clearly used to imprison something.
But there was a large hole in the corner of the cage, and the gap was uneven, as if it had been bitten open by teeth.
"This …" Little White was stunned at the scene in front of her.
Han Li also frowned. He crouched beside the hole in the cage, and wiped his finger on the fracture.
"That's right, from the remnant aura of this fracture, it belongs to Jin Tong … It seems that she has been imprisoned here all this time.
But from the looks of it, Jin Tong must have bitten open the cage and escaped by herself.
Also, the bite mark is very new, so it should be recent. "Han Li placed his finger on his forehead and frowned.
"Since Jin Tong has already escaped, and we can't track him …" Lan Yan said with some worry.
"We can't sense Jin Tong, but we can track Qu Lin." Han Li said slowly.
"That's right, Qu Lin just left, and there should be traces left behind. Let's go after him." Little White's face was full of excitement, and it turned around to fly back the way they came.
"Wait a moment, this looks like Gui Lingzi's cave. Since we're here, we can't come here for nothing." Han Li held Little White's hand, and he looked at the other rooms in the stone room and said with a smile.
"Master is still smart. Since that Gui Lingzi dared to capture boss, we'll just destroy his nest." When Xiao Bai heard this, he laughed out loud with ill intentions.
Before it finished speaking, it immediately flew to the room next to it and kicked the door hard.
There was a restriction laid on the stone door of this room, but it wasn't very strong. It was obvious that Gui Lingzi didn't expect that someone would actually dare to brazenly cause trouble in his cave residence. With a loud bang, the stone door was kicked open by Xiao Bai.
Lan Yan also flew to the front of a room, and she shot a blue light at the door of the room.
Meanwhile, Han Li flashed to the front of another room, and he flicked his finger.
A golden sword qi shot out like lightning, and it broke the door of the room.
The space in this room was quite big, about 20 to 30 meters in size. There were wooden shelves inside, and on top of them were all kinds of ores and materials.
"Gold and Silver Rune Stone, Blood Crystal, Guang Ling Jade …" Han Li's eyes swept across the shelves, and his eyes slightly brightened.
The quality of these materials was very high, and they were even higher than his own collection. The quantity was also very considerable. To him, who was worried about how to get a large amount of Immortal Meta Stones, it was just right.
Han Li waved both of his hands, and two rays of green light shot out, wrapped around these materials, and kept them into the branch space.
Now that the situation was urgent, he quickly collected them. After a few breaths, all the materials in the room were collected, then he turned to another room and waved his hand to blast open the door.
In this room, there was a golden cauldron that was as tall as a person. It was octagonal in shape, and even though the cauldron wasn't activated, it was still emitting a shocking wave of spiritual energy.
Other than the cauldron, there was nothing else in the room. It seemed to be an alchemy room.
Gui Lingzi almost killed him just now, so Han Li naturally wouldn't be polite to this person. Moreover, this cauldron looked quite extraordinary, and it would be worth a lot of Immortal Meta Stones if he sold it.
Han Li waved his hand again, and a ray of green light wrapped around the cauldron, and kept it into the branch space. Then, he came to the third room.
This room wasn't big, and there was only a stone table inside, and it was covered by a layer of black light.
On the table, there were more than ten fist-sized black crystal balls. Each crystal ball was filled with pulsating black flames. Even through the light curtain, one could still feel the shocking wave of Yin Soul Energy.
"Divine Lightning of Profound Yin!
There's actually more than ten of them! "A voice resounded from behind Han Li, and it was Lan Yan who walked over with a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Divine Lightning of Profound Yin?" Han Li glanced at Lan Yan.
"Divine Lightning of Profound Yin is a unique Yin Lightning Divine Ability refined by Gui Lingzi. Its might is extremely great, and it's sufficient to threaten an existence at the initial-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. Fortunately, Gui Lingzi didn't bring these Yin Lightning with him, otherwise, we would have really been in danger earlier." Lan Yan seemed to have a lingering fear in her heart.
Han Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he flicked his finger.
A golden bolt of lightning struck the black barrier near the stone table, and it shattered it with ease.
But right at this moment, the more than ten black crystal balls suddenly emanated a dazzling black light, and the black flames within the crystal balls showed signs of erupting.
Han Li's expression changed slightly, and he was about to execute a technique to suppress it.
Right at this moment, a ray of black light flew over from behind, and it spread out to cover the more than ten black crystal balls.
A strand of the power of laws rippled within the black light, and the black flames within the crystal balls immediately stabilized.
"These Yin Lightning haven't been completely refined, and Master, your Du Tian Divine Lightning is the nemesis of all Yin Elemental Energy, so it's very easy for these Yin Lightning to erupt," the Weeping Soul said as it walked over.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave these Divine Lightning of Profound Yin to you," Han Li said indifferently.
When the Weeping Soul heard this, its body trembled slightly, and an excited expression appeared on its face. "Thank you, Master."
After saying this, it quickly formed a hand seal with both hands, and the black light enveloped the Divine Lightning of Profound Yin flew back to its side.
The Weeping Soul muttered something, and its hands formed a hand seal.
A layer of black light appeared around the more than ten black crystal balls, as if a thick layer of paint had been applied to them. Only then did the black flames within the balls completely stabilize, and it flew into its sleeve.
At this moment, Little White also flew over. It had already transformed into its human form, and its face was full of smiles.
The doors of the other rooms in the stone room were broken, and it was obvious that everything inside had been plundered clean.
