Chapter 1188: Volume 7 Across the Human World Chapter 1184 Collecting the Infant
“Set up the Array!” Kui Huan and the woman, who had been paying close attention to the seal, immediately commanded without hesitation upon seeing this scene.
Thirty-six Drifting Cloud Sect disciples simultaneously threw their formation flags and plates towards the space above the seal.
Instantly, the formation establishment tools shone brightly, and layers of five-coloured glows emerged out of thin air, rolling downwards.
Caught off guard, the black light only saw a flash of five-coloured radiance before it was enveloped by the glow, trapping it inside.
Inside the black light was naturally the second Nascent Soul.
While it was enveloped by the flames of the Three Flame Fan, it instinctively unleashed all the Demonic Qi infused within its body to protect itself. As a result, not only was the Demonic Qi turned to nothing by the flames, but even its demon-transformed body was largely refined. However, by sheer fluke, this caused the release of the Nascent Soul from its Demonization, instantly restoring its spiritual intellect.
Possessing Han Li’s previous memories, it decisively self-destructed the evil treasure, the Blood Sword, in the face of life and death, breaking through the tricoloured flames. Then, fearing that Han Li would pursue with the Thunderstorm Wings, it gritted its teeth and caused the restored Ghost Sifting Banner to also self-destruct.
The self-destruction of these two treasures was indeed extraordinary. Caught off guard, Han Li actually allowed it to seize a glimmer of hope, escaping right under his nose.
However, it was well aware that this method would absolutely not stop Han Li for long. It had already decided that once it escaped the Demon Abyss, it would immediately use the Nascent Soul’s technique of instant movement to flee to an island among the Seven Spirit Islands.
To avoid any mishaps, it had long ago prepared a hidden retreat in a secretive location on the island. It even used several special treasures and set up an extremely clever Array that concealed its aura, believing that it could completely evade Han Li’s spiritual sense scan and gain a chance to catch its breath.
What the second Nascent Soul never expected was that Han Li, who usually acted alone, had summoned so many low-level cultivators this time and had pre-arranged a powerful restrictive formation outside the seal, blocking the exit and waiting for it to fall into the trap!
Now that the second Nascent Soul was trapped within the radiant glow, it was naturally both shocked and furious.
Its tiny hands furiously waved at the surrounding glow, releasing streak after streak of pitch-black Sword Qi slashing wildly around.
But this five-coloured glow was quite magical. Although most of the Sword Qi slashed through it, the glow immediately recovered with a flash, leaving no opportunity for the second Nascent Soul to escape.
In this situation, the second Nascent Soul’s tiny face turned drastically, and it rubbed its hands fiercely before throwing them outward at the same time.
Instantly, two black light pillars shot out, which immediately transformed into two giant swords about ten feet long, slashing down viciously in the same direction.
The cultivators who had been desperately operating the formation flags and plates could no longer maintain their efforts.
After two thunderous “rumble” sounds, the five-coloured glow was split open by a hole several feet wide. Although the surrounding radiance flickered, the hole remained unrepaired due to its size and because the cultivators could not supply enough Mana to mend it immediately.
Seeing this, the second Nascent Soul was overjoyed. With a flicker of its form, it vanished from the glow using the technique of instant movement.
In the next moment, amidst a flash of black light, the black-green Nascent Soul reappeared outside of the five-coloured glow.
It glared fiercely at the surrounding cultivators and then pinched a technique with both hands, preparing to keep shifting away from the place.
But just then, a gentle breeze blew, and a figure emerged with the wind.
“Not good!” Without a second thought, the second Nascent Soul vanished from the spot before the figure could act.
And the figure who had appeared with the wind was none other than Han Li, who had just caught up with his Thunderstorm Wings.
Upon seeing the second Nascent Soul escaping without even looking at his face, Han Li’s expression turned gloomy as he let out a cold snort.
A slender blood mark suddenly split open between his brows, and a wisp of black Qi quickly emerged from it, then condensed and transformed into a pitch-black eyeball, which stared eerily into the distance.
A black ray flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye, striking an empty space twenty-odd feet away, where it exploded on its own.
With a flash of black light, the second Nascent Soul stumbled out, and as its tiny face was raised, it was filled with a look of shock and disbelief.
Han Li sneered, opened his mouth, and spat out a green cauldron, which he grabbed and then silently vanished with the wind with a flutter of his blue and white wings.
The second Nascent Soul turned its head to see this scene and thought to itself, “That’s bad!” It immediately transformed into a black ray, attempting to escape.
But at this moment, a burst of green silk suddenly spurted out from the void, and like waiting for a rabbit, it spread out and firmly entangled the Nascent Soul, binding it tightly.
The second Nascent Soul was shocked and shot out countless black Sword Qi from its body, trying to break free.
However, after a series of explosions and swirling black light, the green silks remained undamaged.
The black-green Nascent Soul truly became frightened, and just as it was about to use another secret technique to escape, a green electric arc flashed, and Han Li, holding the cauldron in one hand, eerily appeared nearby.
Seeing that the second Nascent Soul was still struggling, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he flicked his finger lightly on the cauldron.
With a “ding” sound, the lid of the cauldron opened on its own, and a surge of green radiance shot up towards the sky.
The green threads binding the Nascent Soul emitted a resounding glow in response, causing the second Nascent Soul to feel a tightness enveloping its body, as its Spiritual Power within suddenly became sluggish.
Following a flash of green light, it was violently pulled backwards by the green threads and in the blink of an eye, it was swept into the small cauldron without any resistance.
Han Li pointed towards the cauldron lid in the air, which immediately transformed into a streak of green light and fell down, resealing the Heavenvoid Cauldron.
The glow of the small cauldron retracted as it was securely sealed once again.
A wave of relief washed over Han Li’s heart, and a hint of a smile finally appeared on his face.
With the Nascent Soul now inside the Heavenvoid Cauldron, even a late-Nascent Soul cultivator would have no means of escape.
“Congratulations, Han Li, on the successful completion of your great task!”
Kui Huan and the woman, along with a group of Foundation Establishment disciples, hurriedly stepped forward to offer their congratulations. The look of flattery was barely concealed on their faces.
“Hehe, you all have also made significant contributions this time. These two bottles contain some medicinal pills that will be slightly beneficial to your cultivation. Take them and distribute them amongst yourselves. In addition, we must send more personnel to the Demon Abyss to ensure it is strictly guarded, to prevent any other demons from infiltrating.” Han Li said with a slight smile, reaching into his storage pouch with one hand and tossing two white jade bottles to Kui Huan while giving further instructions.
“Yes, the disciples will discuss this matter with the other sects and increase our manpower accordingly. Uncle-Master, why not return to Spirit Turtle Island to rest for a couple of days before heading back to the Sect?” Kui Huan happily said after catching the jade bottles.
“There’s no need. The Sect is not too far from here, and I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t linger any longer.” Han Li waved his hand and shook his head as he gave his orders, then quickly stowed away the small cauldron and transformed into a green rainbow, piercing through the sky and away.
Kui Huan and the woman naturally bowed to see off Han Li, and only after a long while did they raise their heads again.
“Kui Daoyou, what kind of medicinal pills did the esteemed Han Li leave for you? Given someone of Han Li’s stature, the pills he left must be extraordinary, right?” The cultivator in the fire-red robes, along with his disciples, approached curiously, looking enviously at the two bottles in Kui Huan’s hands.
“I’m not sure what they are, but I don’t think they’ll be poor in quality. We should quickly reinforce and restore the sealing now,” Kui Huan chuckled awkwardly, and with a flash of white light in his hand, he stored the bottles away, seemingly reluctant to talk more about it and instead instructed the disciples.
The seal had been repaired, closing the large rift, but the spiritual light flickering on its surface had dimmed noticeably.
Immediately, disciples of the Drifting Cloud Sect flew towards the stone pillars surrounding them, preparing to strengthen the seal once more.
Although the cultivator in red robes was curious about the contents of the bottles, seeing the current situation, it was inconvenient to ask further. With a chuckle, he quickly ordered his disciples to join the effort to reinforce the seal.
Suddenly, with the humming of more than a dozen stone pillars, milky white spiritual light appeared on the surface of the seal, which began to coalesce and thicken…
More than ten days later, Han Li returned to Dreamcloud Mountains.
However, he did not actually return to the Drifting Cloud Sect but instead went directly to the Mother-Child Peak.
But when he lifted the restriction and had just landed in front of the cave abode on the Mother Peak, there was already a woman waiting there.
“It’s you!” Han Li looked at the woman in white robes in front of him with a slight start of surprise.
“Paying respects to Master!”
The beautiful woman cultivator performed a curtsy towards Han Li with a solemn expression on her face. It was Liu Yu’er, his Unofficial Disciple.
“Have you been waiting here all this time?” Han Li’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he asked indifferently.
“Not just I alone. Senior Sister Mu and Senior Sister Song have also come here. The three of us were somewhat worried, so we have been taking turns waiting here for Master’s return. But currently, the two of them are gathered in Junior Sister’s cave abode,” Liu Yu’er glanced at Han Li discreetly before responding obediently.
“Hehe, with my current level of cultivation, what is there to worry about in capturing my own second Nascent Soul? But, have you all met Qin’er?” Han Li asked casually.
“Yes, I have indeed met Junior Sister. Junior Sister Tian is really clever and lively, no wonder Master would personally take her as your disciple,” Liu Yu’er said with a smile.
“Qin’er is different from you all. She possesses the Dragon’s Cry Physique, and it’s feared that she might not have much opportunity within the great paths of cultivation. I took her in for other reasons. There’s no need for you to probe,” Han Li said in an offhand manner as his expression shifted subtly.
“Master jests, how dare I probe into matters concerning my Master!” Upon hearing this, Liu Yu’er felt a rush of happiness, but her face inadvertently showed a tinge of embarrassment.
“Alright, since you’re all here. Go call the other three over, as I have matters to discuss with all of you,” Han Li, touching his chin, suddenly ordered with a solemn tone.
“Yes, your disciple obeys,” Liu Yu’er said soberly, immediately agreeing.
Han Li nodded and then waved his sleeve towards the tightly shut cave door, causing a green light to sweep out.
With a “rumble,” the stone door slowly rose, and Han Li walked into the cave dwelling, his clothes fluttering behind him.
And Liu Yu’er turned into a streak of white light, heading straight for Tian Qin’er’s cave abode.
