Around 15 minutes later, Daoist Xie withdrew his Spiritual Sense and said, "There's still some time left, so you can ask whatever you want to ask."
"What exactly is going on?" Han Li asked a question that contained all of his doubts.
"I've recalled many things in Qingyang City, and some of them are very… important.
In any case, I'll be staying with Chen Yang for now to prepare for the upcoming event.
After that, I'll be heading to Xuan City, and you'll be coming with me, "Daoist Xie replied after a brief moment of contemplation.
"I was also planning to leave Qingyang City to gather information about Violet Spirit while heading to Xuan City. Shi Chuankong is still there, so I can't just ignore him.
Since you've said so, I'll go with you.
However, before that, you have to tell me what you're up to, "Han Li asked with furrowed brows.
"Now's not the time to tell you yet. You just have to cultivate the Heavenly Ferocious Hell Suppression Art as quickly as possible to increase your strength in order to deal with what's about to happen," Daoist Xie replied with a shake of his head.
"When will you be heading to Xuan City?" Han Li asked.
"You'll know when the time comes.
However, I won't be leaving for the next three to four years, so you have to make the most of this time, "Daoist Xie replied.
Han Li's brows furrowed tightly, and just as he was about to ask more questions, Daoist Xie waved a hand at him.
"Time's up."
With that, Daoist Xie exited through the stone door.
Han Li's expression darkened slightly, and after a brief moment of contemplation, he could only shake his head in bewilderment.
He returned to his room and sat down with his legs crossed, then began to study the Heavenly Ferocious Hell Suppression Art recorded on the mysterious statue.
At first glance, this cultivation technique was extremely profound, far surpassing the Great Heavenly Star Energy Art, White Heaven Soaring Art, and Great Strength Vajra Art. Furthermore, the method of using the power of the True Spirit Bloodline to break through the profound aperture was even more profound.
Even though he now knew the cultivation art, there were still many things that he didn't understand, so he focused his attention on it.
After a full three days and three nights, Han Li finally opened his eyes. He had barely comprehended the first stage of the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique and immediately started cultivating.
He took out a Beast Core and swallowed it. He slowly activated the Innate Hell Suppression Art. The thirty-six opened Profound Acupoints on his chest and abdomen gradually lit up, as if they were twinkling stars.
The first stage of the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique contained the method to open 150 profound orifices, and these profound orifices were all concentrated in the chest and abdomen.
The first level of the cultivation technique focused on building the foundation, so the profound apertures involved were all concentrated between the chest and abdomen, aiming to strengthen the physique and strengthen the overall foundation of the physical body. It did not have the obvious effect of increasing speed like the White Feather Soaring Technique, or the Great Strength Vajra Secret Art, which strengthened the strength of both arms.
Divine abilities like the White Sun Soaring Technique and the Great Strength Vajra Spell could only be cultivated after reaching the second level.
However, Han Li wasn't surprised by this.
After so many years of understanding of Mystic cultivation, he knew that the most important part of a body-tempering cultivation technique was the building of the foundation. The more profound orifices opened during the building of the foundation, the stronger the foundation, and the greater the achievements in the future.
In the past, he had only opened thirty-six profound orifices, but he was still able to fight against people who had opened even more profound orifices. The main reason was that the thirty-six profound orifices cultivated by the Great Heavenly Star Energy Skill were all foundation-type profound orifices. His physical body foundation was far stronger than others.
Fortunately, the statue he had obtained from Du Qingyang corresponded to the first three stages. However, he did not know which stages the statue he had obtained from Perfected God Reflecting Bone corresponded to?
As Han Li was cultivating to refine the Beast Core in his body, the Sky Bottle in his lower abdomen suddenly shook, and a wave of Star Power surged out.
This Star Power was unusually vast and pure, far more than the Star Power he had obtained from refining the Beast Core.
He was stunned at first, but then he was pleasantly surprised.
Previously, when he was about to reach his limit in the Kyara Blood Array, the Sky Bottle had suddenly activated on its own and absorbed the Star Power from Du Qingyang and the others.
He had originally thought that the Sky Bottle had devoured the Star Power, but he did not expect it to be able to help him cultivate.
At this thought, he hurriedly cultivated the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique to refine this endless stream of pure Star Power.
At the same time, he silently circulated the power of the True Spirit Bloodline in his body to assist in breaking through the profound orifices.
With a "buzz", dazzling lights of various colors appeared on his body. Phantoms of True Dragons, Heavenly Phoenixes, Giant Mountain Apes, and other True Spirits danced around his body.
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he let out a soft sound of surprise.
Previously in the Mysterious Arena, he had tried to activate the True Spirit Bloodline many times, but to no avail. The True Spirit Bloodline in his body seemed to be suppressed by some kind of power, but now, he could use it effortlessly.
Was it because of the influence of the Kyara Blood Array?
Or was there some other reason?
Han Li shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Regardless of the reason, being able to summon his True Spirit meant that he could refine the power of the True Spirit Bloodline as Daoist Xie had said.
A series of True Spirit Phantoms revolved around him, but there were ten of them instead of nine. There was an additional white True Spirit Phantoms.
This white True Spirit Phantoms was a massive white snake with a body that was as white as jade. Its eyes were crimson, like two bright red pearls in a white jade. Not only did it not give off a bloodthirsty aura, but it instead made it look even more majestic.
Han Li looked at the white snake True Spirit with a flicker in his eyes.
Back when the Kyara Blood Array had been reversed, the blood essence of Du Qingyang and the others had flowed into his body. This white snake True Spirit Phantom was a type of True Spirit Bloodline in Du Qingyang's body, and it had also flowed into his body following the reversal of the Kyara Blood Array.
Han Li recognized this white snake True Spirit Phantom as the Soaring Serpent.
Whether it was a coincidence or some other reason, this Soaring Serpent True Spirit Phantom was also one of the 12 Awakening Transformations.
Han Li closed his eyes and concentrated. The ten True Spirit Phantoms around him flickered and disappeared, leaving only the Soaring Serpent True Spirit Phantom coiled around his body.
Traces of the Soaring Serpent True Spirit Phantom seeped out of his body and slowly flowed towards a closed profound orifice on his chest.
A closed profound orifice was originally extremely sturdy, and could only be opened slowly by external forces like the power of the stars. However, the True Spirit Phantom was like invisible water that gradually seeped in drop by drop.
As the True Spirit Phantom entered the closed profound orifice, it immediately loosened up. Bursts of power of the stars immediately rushed in and attacked the profound orifice.
Han Li raised his eyebrows and revealed a trace of joy.
With the assistance of the True Spirit Phantom, the speed at which he opened the profound orifice was indeed much faster.
But very soon, he could not smile anymore. The power of the stars that flowed out of the Sky Holding Vase grew faster and faster, causing him to be at a loss as to what to do.
Under the guidance of the Sky Holding Vase, the power of the stars did not leak out of his body. Instead, it accumulated in his eight extraordinary meridians.
Han Li's body was gradually filled with the tyrannical power of the stars, and a layer of starlight appeared on his skin. His entire body seemed to have turned into a human-shaped Star Crystal.
He felt as if his entire body was being fried. Boundless pain came from every inch of his body, and it was even more painful than when he was in the Galois Blood Array.
Apart from the pain, Han Li's heart was also filled with a trace of panic.
At this moment, he was in the Accumulated Scale Spatial Realm and could not use his immortal spiritual energy. If his entire body crystallized, he might really die here.
Originally, he thought that the power of the stars flowing out of the Sky Holding Vase was a great thing. He did not think that good fortune could be accompanied by disaster. If he was the slightest bit careless, he might fall into a state of eternal damnation.
At this moment, Han Li gritted his teeth. He could not be bothered to follow the instructions of the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique and cultivate it step by step. He activated this technique with all his might and broke through five profound orifices at the same time.
Breaking through the profound orifices required an extreme amount of concentration. The slightest bit of carelessness could cause irreversible damage to the profound orifices. However, at this moment of life and death, he could not care so much.
Breaking through multiple profound orifices at the same time greatly consumed the power of the stars. It was barely able to keep up with the power of the stars that flowed out of the Sky Holding Vase. The crystallization of his body slowly stopped, but it did not disappear.
Han Li took a deep breath and circulated the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique with all his might. He cultivated while saving his life.
More than a month passed by quickly.
He did not know if it was because of Chen Yang, but during this period of time, no one came to invite him to participate in any profound fights. In fact, Han Li did not care about this anymore.
His body still maintained its half-crystallized appearance, and the five dots of starlight on his chest trembled.
With a soft "pu" sound, one of the profound orifices shone brightly, and it was suddenly opened.
The other four profound orifices were also flickering with starlight, and they were not far from opening.
However, Han Li did not have the time to be happy at this moment, because the power of the stars that flowed out of the Sky Holding Vase did not weaken, but instead increased.
"Damn it!
How much power of the stars has the Sky Holding Vase absorbed! "
He cursed in his heart, and immediately focused his mind. He continued to circulate the power of the stars in the Sky Holding Vase towards the new profound orifices.
Furthermore, he increased the number of profound orifices from five to six at the same time.
Breaking through five profound orifices at the same time was already very strenuous for Han Li, and he did not know if it would be a problem if he increased it to six.
However, the arrow was already nocked, and he had no choice but to release it.
If the power of the stars continued to surge out of the Sky Holding Vase, he might have to continue to increase the number of profound orifices at the same time.
He took a deep breath, and bright starlight emerged from all the profound orifices on the surface of his body. His half-crystallized body also emitted a starlight halo, and his body was also submerged in it.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
Han Li's body was enveloped by the incomparably bright starlight, forming a starlight ball, and the specific situation could not be seen.
At this moment, the dazzling starlight around his body suddenly flickered violently, and then suddenly exploded and drifted away.
Countless dragon-like roars burst out, and the air in the room surged as if there was a hurricane wreaking havoc, and the entire room trembled slightly.
In the sky full of starlight, Han Li slowly stood up, and his body had completely returned to its original state.
However, at this moment, the surface of his body was flickering with starlight, and there were actually 237 profound orifices that had been opened.
He spent a full five years, and finally exhausted the power of the stars in the Sky Holding Vase, opened 165 profound orifices, and completed the cultivation of the first level of the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique.
Han Li's face was full of joy as he looked at the densely packed profound orifices on his body. Although it was dangerous this time, the harvest was huge, and it was not in vain for him to persevere for the past few years.
He let out a long breath, and dispersed the starlight on his body, and endless exhaustion surged into his heart.
For the past few years, he had not slept or rested, and he had been wholeheartedly cultivating the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique. He had accumulated too much fatigue, and his body had long reached its limit.
When he thought of this, he fell head first onto the bed, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
