When Han Li saw the Eye of the Thunder Kui and the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords enter the Mysterious Sky Gourd one after another, he waved his hand and sealed the gourd's mouth. After that, he held the gourd with his other hand and shook it lightly.
"Rumble!"
A wave of muffled and mixed thunder immediately sounded from the gourd.
The rune on the surface of the gourd suddenly flashed, and strands of golden lightning flowed out from the surface of the gourd. Han Li's palm that held the gourd suddenly emitted a wisp of green smoke, and it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
Almost at the same time, a clear "crack" sound immediately came from the gourd, and a thin crack actually appeared.
Subsequently, the surface of the gourd made a loud "crack" sound, and the cracks actually appeared and spread like a spider web, instantly densely covering the entire gourd.
Seeing this, Han Li raised his hand and threw the gourd into the air without saying a word.
Subsequently, he formed a seal with both hands and stretched out towards the outside of the gourd. Like gathering a fire, he held the gourd from both sides in the air, and the strands of the Law of Time in his palm condensed into extremely thin golden silk threads that weaved around the gourd in circles.
A large expanse of golden lightning threads intertwined with the strands of the Law of Time released by Han Li, but they were instantly covered by the Law of Time. The surface of the gourd turned into a dazzling golden light, as if the gourd was wearing a layer of golden light.
With the confinement and protection of the Law of Time, the Mysterious Sky Gourd that had already cracked like porcelain didn't collapse immediately, and the rune inscribed on it became brighter and brighter.
Han Li's eyes focused, and a dark purple light lit up in his eyes as he looked into the gourd.
He saw the 72 small golden swords formed by the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords stuck closely to the walls of the gourd, still maintaining the appearance of a sword formation, and the Eye of the Thunder Kui floated in the middle of the gourd, wrapped in a ball of dark green light.
The dark green light was originally a local snake, and it was naturally familiar with the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. However, when it encountered the Eye of the Thunder Kui, it was like it encountered a dragon that crossed the river. The battle between the two was intense, and they didn't give way at all.
In terms of might, the Lightning Kui Eye was naturally superior. The threads of lightning that ceaselessly shot out from it had already destroyed the walls of the bottle gourd. If it wasn't for Han Li's assistance with the energy of the Temporal Laws, he would have been unable to hold on a long time ago.
However, the dark green light had the help of the Sword Formation, so the difference in strength between the two was reduced.
Inside the gourd, dark green light shone brightly, and golden lightning surged wildly. The cycle repeated as if it had reached a deadlock.
"Boom …"
After several hours, the Profound Heaven Gourd finally couldn't take it anymore, and it exploded with a violent boom.
A dark green light burst out from the gourd, turning into a dark green sword light that bloomed from top to bottom. The sky of the Thunderstorm Sea, along with the ocean, was instantly split in half.
A deep crack that ran through the void suddenly appeared on it, and waves of shocking spatial fluctuations spread out from it.
Han Li's gaze focused as he looked towards the two sides of the spatial crack. He saw that the Lightning Kui Eye had already exploded and transformed into an expanse of dazzling golden light. Light and shadows flickered within it, and it actually seemed like numerous Lightning Kui were galloping without end.
The Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords that floated in the surroundings instantly glowed brightly, and they charged towards the ball of dazzling golden light.
The flying swords entered the golden light, causing the light within it to instantly increase explosively by a few times, and even with Han Li's vision, he was unable to see exactly what was happening within it. However, his mind suddenly jerked faintly, and he sensed an unusual fluctuation from within the light.
After a short moment, a wave of sharp sword howls suddenly sounded out from within the golden light, and then numerous sword lights shot out from within, and they shot out successively towards the surrounding space.
Han Li's gaze focused as he saw one of the sword lights fly precisely towards the spatial crack that was slowly closing, and it entered it.
His brows instantly raised, and he couldn't be bothered to look at the other sword lights. His palm was enveloped in golden light as he stretched it into the pitch black spatial crack, and then he suddenly pulled outwards.
"Chi!" A soft sound was heard.
The sleeve of Han Li's right arm instantly turned into flying ashes, but his arm was intact as he withdrew it.
However, when he saw that it was not a Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword in his hand, but a small and exquisite pocket-sized jade hand, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.
"This is …"
Before he could recover from his astonishment, the surrounding rays of light flew back one after another, and unexpectedly turned into small jade figures that were one foot tall, and they landed on his body.
Among them, a few sat on his shoulders, a few climbed up his hair bun, and even more hung on his arm like a swing. There was even one standing on the tip of his nose, and it stared at him with a pair of round eyes.
These children were crystal clear and emerald green, and only the top of their heads and their two eyes were golden. They also wore a pair of golden hoops on their wrists and ankles, on which fine golden lightning patterns could be vaguely seen.
Han Li counted them one by one and found that there were exactly 72 of them.
"Could this be … the Sword Spirit Child that was born after the Mysterious Heaven Gourd refined the Eye of the Thunder Kui and the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords?" Han Li speculated doubtfully.
Those little jade figures seemed to have sensed something, and the moment he thought of this, they flew into the sky one by one, and the green light around them flowed, and instantly turned into 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
Unlike the Cloudswarm Swords from before, these flying swords were all inscribed with golden lightning patterns, and the aura emitted from each sword was impressively at the level of a third-grade celestial artifact, which was a grade higher than Han Li's previous estimation!
Although there was only a grade difference between a third-grade celestial artifact and a fourth-grade celestial artifact, the difference in power was like a chasm, and it could not be measured with words. Moreover, there were a total of 72 celestial artifacts!
Han Li slightly frowned, and a thought occurred to him.
The 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords did not need to be controlled by him at all, and they directly flew into the sky on their own, and hung in the air, and arranged into a powerful sword formation.
"Rumble …"
Accompanied by the sound of rolling thunder, a majestic Heaven Gate appeared in the sky above the Ninth Heaven.
At this moment, the surrounding golden clouds rolled, and the atmosphere was magnificent. Inside the tightly closed gate, bursts of lightning aura could not be suppressed, and Han Li was a little shocked. The power of these children's sword formation was even stronger than before.
A thought rose in his mind, and the golden gate suddenly rumbled. Inside was a golden ocean, and one could vaguely see tens of thousands of lightning dragons of various colors surging up and down, waiting for an order to rush out of the Gate of Heaven.
The space that was being crushed by the might of the Heaven Gate shook even more, and spatial cracks actually began to appear in the surroundings.
A smile appeared at the corner of Han Li's mouth, and with a thought, the golden Heaven Gate in the sky slowly closed, and gradually disappeared with the surrounding golden clouds.
The 72 flying swords flashed, and again turned into the appearance of the Jade Children, and flew back to him.
Han Li opened his left sleeve, and all the children flew into it, and disappeared.
Then, Han Li pondered for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, opened the Flower Branch Heavenly Cave.
Inside the silver light gate, Violet Spirit was standing in front of the window of the bamboo house. She turned around and asked, "How is it?"
"It's done, I …" Han Li said hesitantly.
"Go do what you have to do. If possible, I would like to accompany you," Violet Spirit said with a warm smile.
"The trip to the Heavenly Court is too dangerous, I can't take you there," Han Li said, shaking his head.
"I know, I will wait for your safe return," Violet Spirit seemed to have expected this, and said softly.
"No matter what, I will take you back to the Underworld first, and then stay there or go to the Demon World. In short, I will come back to find you," Han Li nodded, and said.
"Okay," Violet Spirit said.
After the two left the Picture Space, Han Li held Violet Spirit's soft hand, and with the other hand, he used the Thunder Formation Technique.
"Zi la la" A strange sound was heard.
Among the thunderclouds that had shrunk to less than a hundred miles, thousands of golden lightning bolts fell from the sky and disappeared in a flash.
…
A month passed quickly.
On the island at the center of the Yellow Spring Lake in the Nether Realm, a black-robed woman was pacing back and forth on the stone steps of the palace. Her face was full of anxiety.
Standing outside the door, the two Ghost Generals guarding the main hall looked at each other and silently shook their heads.
"Lord Jiao San" had been pacing back and forth on the stone steps for more than ten days, as if he was waiting for someone, but that person did not come.
The two of them tried to persuade him twice, but to no avail, so they could only give up.
At this moment, in the Void outside the island, within the raging whirlwind, a golden light suddenly flew over. It was not affected by the whirlwind at all, and in the blink of an eye, it landed on the island.
When Jiao San sensed the aura, he was first surprised, and then his face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to fly over to greet him, he felt his vision blur, and in the next moment, there were two people in front of him. It was Han Li and Violet Spirit.
"Where is the Palace Master?" Han Li let go of Violet Spirit's hand and asked.
"Let's go in first," Jiao San said with a troubled expression.
Han Li frowned, and held Violet Spirit's hand again, and they walked into the palace together.
After the palace doors slowly closed, Jiao San said without any hesitation, "Father is already on his way to the Central Mainland Celestial Realm."
"What?
He left first? "Han Li raised his eyebrows and said.
"Father is blaming himself for what happened to mother, and because of some other things, the Samsara Hall has launched an attack ahead of time. The entire Realm of True Immortals is becoming more and more chaotic," Jiao San said.
"Father said that even though the Heavenly Court said that they would release my mother as long as he went to the Central Region Celestial Realm, it wouldn't be that simple. Previously, he tried many methods to find out where my mother was imprisoned, but he found nothing. However, he unexpectedly found out who captured my mother," said Jiao San.
"Who?" Han Li asked immediately.
"Feng Qingshui. You should be familiar with this name," Jiao San said.
"It's him …" Han Li muttered after hearing this.
Back in the Dust World, Han Li had interacted with this person, and he knew that he was a Dao Ancestor under the Law of Water.
"I want to know everything about him, including his background, the location of the Holy Realm Mansion, his current whereabouts, and his past battles," Han Li said.
"You want to find him?" Jiao San raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Didn't he tell me about Feng Qingshui so that I can find him?" Han Li said.
