Chapter 1277

"That's it, Frostless Island … There's an isolated island called 'Frostless' in the Black Reef Waters. Because it's surrounded by dense reefs, the waves are monstrous, and the island is bare without any vegetation, there's no sign of human habitation within a radius of ten thousand miles," Luo Feng said after a moment of thought.

"I need you to help me build a Spirit Formation on Frostless Island," Han Li said directly.

"I'll do as you say," Luo Feng said, cupping his fists.

Han Li nodded and took out a detailed blueprint and a black storage ring. He handed it over and said, "The formation diagram of the Spirit Formation is here. I'll also give you the materials you need. You have to get started as soon as possible. It must be completed within seven days."

Luo Feng reached out and took it. After checking it, his expression changed slightly and he said, "I'll do it right away."

"There's no hurry. There are some cultivation arts, spirit medicines, and immortal herbs here. These are for Wu Meng Island, so take them." Han Li tossed over a white storage ring as he spoke.

"Thank you, Lord Liu …" Luo Feng received it and bowed to the ground without even checking it.

After he left, Han Li's gaze fell on the Earth Incarnation. The latter also raised his head and looked at Han Li.

Han Li looked at the incarnation that looked almost identical to him and could not help feeling a little emotional.

Back then, this incarnation was formed from a wisp of his spirit and the Birthing Soul Flower. It already possessed a relatively independent intelligence. After he had lost contact with it for so many years, its cultivation had grown, and its intelligence had become more complete.

In a sense, it was him and not him at the same time.

If he were to meet with an accident during his training in the Immortal World, then as long as this avatar was present, he wouldn't be considered to have truly perished.

Because he could use that strand of spirit to take back absolute control of the incarnation at any time, even if something happened, his cultivation and the power of his spirit far surpassed the incarnation. Naturally, he did not have to worry about the incarnation's backlash.

Of course, that was a last resort. After this clone of his had completely lost its sense of self, it wouldn't be able to guard this place for him like it was now.

"I have a request," Han Li said after a while.

The Earth Incarnation's expression remained unchanged as he said, "You and I are one. There is no need to talk about seeking each other's help. If you have something to say, just say it."

Han Li hesitated for a moment before raising his hand to stroke his face.

With a flash of blue light, the restriction covering his face was removed, revealing his true appearance.

Black mist curled around the center of his brows, and there was a strange rune at the center. His eyes flickered with blood-red light, and his pupils gave off an extremely powerful killing intent.

The earth clone stared at the rune on Han Li's glabella, and its heart jolted with shock. The rune resembled a sinister face that was shimmering with black light, and it looked as if it were about to break through his flesh at any moment.

"What is this …"

Although the Earth Incarnation was separated from Han Li's Divine Soul and was inextricably linked to Han Li, it had not been in contact for a long time after all, so it had no idea what it had seen.

Then, it frowned and said in shock, "Your cultivation realm?"

Previously, Han Li could hide his true cultivation, but now it was revealed without any reservation.

"My cultivation is currently stuck at the peak of the early Grand Luo Realm, and I'm being attacked by the Evil Corpse. I'm facing the Corpse Decapitation Stage." Han Li smiled bitterly and said slowly.

"Grand Luo, a Grand Luo Realm cultivator …" Even the Earth Incarnation found it hard to believe.

Generally speaking, the path of Earth Immortals could be considered a shortcut on the path of cultivation with the power of faith from the believers. As long as there were enough believers, the cultivation speed would be a step faster.

During this period of time, due to the relatively closed environment of the Black Wind Sea and the foundation laid by Han Li, Wu Meng Island's forces and believers had developed at a rapid pace.

Thanks to this, the Earth Incarnation's cultivation speed was not slow, but it was insignificant compared to Han Li's.

The Earth Incarnation was stunned for a moment, then asked, "So, I can help you with the Corpse Decapitation Stage?"

"That's right.

The difficulty of the Corpse Decapitation Stage was how to fight with the Corpse Spirit and cut it out of the body.

The Three Corpses were the root of obsession, and the growth of their power almost accompanied the cultivator's entire growth process. One could imagine how difficult it was to cut one's own body with just the power of one's spirit.

I was lucky enough to obtain a Corpse Decapitation Secret Technique, which can be used to transfer the Evil Corpse into your body, which can greatly increase the success rate. "Han Li nodded and said slowly.

"What's the risk?" The Earth Incarnation asked directly.

"The Corpse Decapitation Stage is a dangerous process. If I'm not careful, my spirit may be devoured by the Evil Corpse, and my temperament will change.

Moreover, even if the Corpse Decapitation Stage is successful, there's a high chance that the Evil Corpse will take over your body, "Han Li said.

The Earth Incarnation frowned and asked, "So, I'm the only one to be the vessel?"

Han Li nodded and said, "That is indeed the case."

"If it were you, would you agree?" The Earth Incarnation said with a strange expression.

"In fact, it's not all bad for you.

There are only so many worshippers on the Wu Meng Island, and I'm guessing the main reason why you haven't been able to progress to the Grand Unity Stage is because the power of faith you receive is limited, and it's not enough to help you make a breakthrough, right? "Han Li asked.

"That's right." The Earth Incarnation nodded after a moment of silence.

"I have a way to help you get rid of the shackles of the Earth Immortal body, so that you won't have to rely on the power of faith anymore," Han Li said.

"I don't think anyone knows better than you how I refined this body of mine back then.

And I think no one knows better than you about the connection between the Earth Immortal body and Wu Meng Island. How can it be severed so easily? "The Earth Incarnation shook his head, obviously not believing Han Li's words.

"Of course I know this. After so many years of cultivation, the connection between your Earth Immortal body and Wu Meng Island will only become closer.

However, you don't know just how powerful the Evil Corpse's energy is. Once it enters your body, it'll definitely modify your Earthly Immortal body in order to better adapt to your body. With the power of a Grand Celestial Being, it won't be difficult for you to sever the power of faith from within, "Han Li said.

The Earth Incarnation fell into deep thought and asked after a long while, "Is this really feasible?"

Han Li nodded and said, "Even if I can't say I'm ninety percent sure, I'm at least seventy to eighty percent sure."

The Earth Incarnation asked, "What will happen to the people of Wu Meng Island if the shackles of the power of faith are severed?"

"Not to mention that Luo Feng is now a True Immortal cultivator, if you are willing to shelter them and stay here for a hundred years, they won't have to fear any forces in the Black Wind Sea with the immortal plants, magic treasures, and artifacts I left for them.

Besides, it might not be a bad thing for them to cut off the path of Ancestor God, "Han Li said.

The Earth Incarnation nodded after a long while, agreeing with Han Li's words.

"The process sounds simple, but it's actually not.

First of all, your current body might not be able to withstand the enormous energy brought by the Evil Corpse. Second, if your soul is not protected, it will definitely be devoured by the Evil Corpse and become its food, "Han Li continued.

"You should have a way to deal with it, right?" The Earth Incarnation asked.

"That's right. The formation that I asked Luo Feng to build is to refine your Earth Immortal body.

As for your soul, I will seal it with a secret technique before I carry out the ceremony. When the time comes, you will fall into a deep slumber, and the Evil Corpse won't be able to detect your existence, so it won't attack you, "Han Li said.

"Fall into a deep slumber …" The Earth Incarnation hesitated.

"Don't worry. Before that, I will imprison your body on Heavenly Frost Island. After the Evil Corpse takes over your Earth Immortal body, it will only be able to break free after it completes the transformation and takes control of your body.

By then, I will have successfully stabilized my Grand Luo Intermediate Stage, and capturing it will be as easy as raising my hand.

After that, I only need to separate it with a secret technique and seal it again, "Han Li waved his hand and said with a smile.

"In that case, there's another key. You have to stabilize your Grand Luo Intermediate Stage before it completely takes control of my body?" The Earth Incarnation frowned.

"Compared to the many dangers I've faced before, this is nothing to me," Han Li said confidently.

"If that's the case, this can be done," the Earth Incarnation said after pondering for a moment.

Han Li's expression relaxed when he heard that, and he could not help but sigh softly in his heart.

It was not an easy task to convince himself. After all, the Evil Corpse Incarnation could only achieve the best effect of the secret technique if it was able to cooperate with him.

…

Time flashed by, and it was already seven days later.

The Blackwind Sea. On a body of water that was suffused with a black luster, reefs that were piled up by Black Phosphorus Corals could be seen everywhere. Some were completely hidden under the sea, and some were slightly protruding out of the sea.

Although there were waves in other parts of the sea, they were generally stable. However, as soon as they arrived here, the seawater surged on the reefs, and huge waves that were hundreds of meters tall could be seen everywhere.

At the center of the black reefs stood a strange greyish-white island.

Black reefs could be seen near the surface of the island, and the area at the center of the island was greyish-white. From afar, it looked like a layer of frost had fallen.

At this moment, there were three figures flying across the sky and descending towards the island.

One of them was a green-robed man, and the other was a blue-robed man. Apart from their clothing, their appearances were actually very similar. They were Han Li and his Earth Incarnation.

As for the other two, they were Luo Feng and Jin Tong.

When they arrived at the center of the island, they noticed that the original mountain on the island had been completely shaved off, and a blue hexagonal altar that was hundreds of meters tall had been built on an open area.
