An hour ago, just as Han Li was about to break through to the fourth level of the Art of Cultivating the Spirit.
Countless kilometers away from the abyss that Han Li was situated in, there was a white mountain that extended all the way into the clouds. Thick white clouds hovered around the mountain's waist, and the summit of the mountain protruded out of the sea of clouds.
At the peak of the white mountain peak, there was a green platform built entirely with pale green stones. There was a square stone table in the middle of the platform, and four stone chairs were placed around it. Although the style was the same, the colors were different.
At this moment, three figures were sitting on three of the stone chairs.
One of them was a Youth in a black robe. He had dark skin, thin eyebrows, and two silver-white horns on his forehead, giving off an extremely cold vibe.
The other person was a slender man in a white robe. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, and he was extremely handsome. His elegant white hair danced in the wind, and there was a strand of dazzling golden hair in the middle, which added to his charm.
The last person was an old man with red hair and a red beard. He was hunched, and he held a crimson walking stick in his hand. He looked very old.
A white water mirror was suspended in the void above the stone table in front of the three of them. In the water mirror, there was a tumbling white glow. It was like a mad dragon flying in the air, emitting a crystal light that shot up to the sky.
Through the water mirror, one could sense the amazing phenomenon.
Under the white glow, one could vaguely see a deep canyon, and there were faint traces of black gas drifting out from it.
"This phenomenon is not small. The fluctuation can actually reach us … Such a strong wave of Divine Consciousness, could it be that someone in the old Deity of Valley's territory has broken through to the Grand Luo Realm?" The black-robed Youth said slowly.
"If someone broke through to the Grand Luo Realm, the phenomenon would not be this small.
It looks like this is caused by someone cultivating some kind of Divine Soul Secret Skill. "The white-robed man looked indifferent and shook his head.
The black-robed Youth frowned slightly, glanced at the white-robed man, and snorted.
"Brother Yu, what do you think?" The white-robed man didn't mind. He turned to look at the red-haired old man and asked.
The red-haired old man stroked his red beard and said noncommittally, "This matter is indeed a bit strange, but since that place is within Fellow Gu's sphere of influence, according to the agreement, it's not appropriate for us to intervene."
"Today is the day that the four of us gather once every million years. Fellow Daoist Gu has been absent several times in a row, and now such a strange thing has occurred in his territory. I wonder what this means." The white-robed man shook his head with a resigned smile.
"Fellow Daoist Gu has always been mysterious. There's no need to mind him." The red-haired old man chuckled.
"Brother Liu, you're really meddling in the affairs of the Old Valley Deity.
A few days ago, Brother Liu suddenly made a move in a branch of the Darkstar Mountain Range and occupied the entire Insect Tribe's territory. How do you explain this, Brother Liu? "the black-robed Youth asked coldly.
"I was wondering why Brother Zuo was so against me today. So it's because of this.
There are tens of thousands of our descendants scattered across this wilderness. They should be left to fend for themselves. This is natural selection. Why bother?
If Brother Zuo still holds a grudge against this matter, you can send someone to snatch it back. "The white-robed man smiled and said indifferently.
"If that's the case, today's meeting is almost done. I'll make a move first."
The black-robed Youth suddenly stood up and disappeared into the void with a shake of his body. However, his voice still echoed in the air.
"Brother Zuo's temper is still so bad. Brother Liu, I'll make a move first.
See you in a million years. "The red-haired old man also stood up and waved his crutch in the air.
A white mark appeared in the void on the platform, and then it slowly opened up to both sides, revealing a space tunnel.
The red-haired old man calmly stepped into it, and the crack in the void immediately closed up.
"This kid is quite courageous. He didn't move forward nor retreat. Instead, he cultivated on the spot.
Alright, let's see how much Le'Er knows about this big brother of the Human Clan. "The white-robed man smiled and then waved his hand.
The white water mirror shattered with a bang, turning into glittering crystal lights that rained down from the sky.
In the flickering crystal lights, the white-robed man's figure also disappeared from the top of the mountain.
…
Han Li spent a total of over 10 days in this state of comprehension.
With his Divine Sense that was far superior to the Golden Immortal of the same level, coupled with the enhancement of his Divine Sense after the fourth level of the Cultivation of Spirit, the strength of his Divine Sense naturally met the requirements to cultivate the fifth level. As for his physical body, there was naturally no problem.
However, this fifth level was extremely obscure. There were many parts that seemed to be risky, so he didn't know where to start for a while.
However, in conjunction with the fact that the baleful Qi environment had stimulated his spiritual sense, Han Li had thought of a similar method. If he could further enhance his spiritual sense with even more powerful Soulsucking Yin Winds, then perhaps he would be able to further enhance his spiritual sense.
With this thought, he waved his hand and put away the jade slip. He stood up and continued to fly down.
As a result, not long after flying, Han Li frowned slightly, and as he went down, his frown became tighter.
To his surprise, the Yin Wind below did not strengthen, but showed signs of slowly weakening.
Although the Evil Qi was getting stronger, without the Soul Absorbing Yin Wind, the illusion in his mind could no longer appear.
Han Li looked disappointed. After a pause, he returned to the place above where the Yin Wind was the strongest and sat down cross-legged. He could only try to cultivate the fifth level of the Cultivation of Spirit using the usual method.
Half a year passed in a flash.
When Han Li opened his eyes again, he looked a little depressed.
He had been practicing hard for the past six months without rest, but his progress was still extremely slow. Not only was it not comparable to the progress he made when he used the Evil Qi illusion to cultivate the Cultivation of Spirit, but it was also not comparable to the progress he made when he cultivated the fourth level of the Cultivation of Spirit.
Han Li took a deep breath and quickly regained his calmness.
This situation of slow progress also occurred when he cultivated the first three levels, but eventually, as time passed, he continued to comprehend and explore, and eventually, he cultivated it bit by bit. However, in the current situation, time was tight, and it was obviously not wise to continue to cultivate.
After a little thought, Han Li made a gesture with one hand. His body trembled slightly, and then the surrounding thick Evil Qi immediately swarmed toward him, instantly drowning his body.
There was a bang in his ears, as if he could hear the mournful screams of countless monsters on the verge of death. At the same time, a cold and fierce aura penetrated his body from all directions.
Han Li took a deep breath, but didn't circulate his martial arts to resist.
Waves of thick Evil Qi ran amok in his body, numbing and stinging his meridians wherever it passed, as if countless small knives were stirring.
He frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again. He took out a cultivation pill and swallowed it, then slowly started to circulate the Black Fiend Spirit Controlling Technique.
"Whoosh!"
The accumulated Evil Qi in Han Li's body was all stimulated, and a thick layer of black mist-like light appeared on his body, circulating non-stop. It was frightening to look at.
The black light and the surrounding Evil Qi suddenly merged into one, and the nearby Evil Qi immediately surged, forming a faint vortex around his body. The speed of the Evil Qi entering his body suddenly increased.
At this moment, his surroundings were flooded by the black Evil Qi, and his body seemed to be covered with a thick layer of black mist. There was a strange feeling of being pricked by needles on his skin.
As the Black Fiend Spirit Controlling Technique continued to circulate, the waves of Evil Qi in Han Li's body immediately stopped running amok, and gathered at one point, forming a vast torrent of Evil Qi.
He let out a muffled groan, and his brows immediately furrowed together. His expression became a little ugly.
Previously, when the waves of Evil Qi scattered, although it caused some pain to his body, it wasn't very intense. Now that the Evil Qi had gathered at one point, the pain naturally stacked together and multiplied.
Fortunately, other than this unbearable pain, there didn't seem to be any other abnormalities for the time being. After enduring it with great difficulty, he could still use the Evil Qi to attack his 62nd acupuncture point.
In fact, he was extremely clear in his heart that this wasn't the baleful qi that he'd accumulated himself after all, and it was something that came from the outside. His body would instinctively resist it, whereas this baleful qi that came from the outside would only be even more ferocious and unbridled than the baleful qi that he'd accumulated himself.
The many cold evil thoughts contained within would also continuously attack his sea of consciousness, and wouldn't mind completely destroying his acupuncture points and tearing his sea of consciousness apart.
But time was pressing, and Han Li couldn't care so much anymore. He planned to use the violent impact of the external Evil Qi to quickly open the immortal apertures one by one.
"Still not enough … still … not … enough …" Han Li's brows were tightly furrowed, and he gritted his teeth as he said word by word.
His hands quickly formed seals, and his body shone with a dark light. The speed at which the Evil Qi surged in suddenly doubled, and the pain in his body also doubled.
Han Li's heart sank, and he barely endured the sharp pain as he frantically absorbed the Evil Qi into his body, and crazily attacked the immortal apertures one wave after another.
There was a loud whistling sound in the upper part of the abyss, the Evil Qi surged violently, and the chaotic airflow swept the corpses of the demonic beasts off the cliffs on both sides, and they shattered in the air, turning into bits of bone powder and phosphorescence.
As time passed by, the baleful Qi around Han Li became thinner and thinner, while the baleful Qi around Han Li became denser and more substantial.
Time flew by, and more than three months passed.
On this day, a long howl came from the abyss.
Thousands of miles deep, Han Li floated in the air, and under his shoulder blade, a small whirlpool appeared, madly absorbing the heaven and earth essence qi that swooped down from above the abyss into his whirlpool, and only stopped after ten breaths of time.
When the golden light disappeared, there was an additional golden spot of light, it was the 62nd immortal aperture!
Han Li's mind moved, and he inspected the immortal aperture, only to see that in addition to a large amount of immortal spiritual power, the floating black Evil Qi was much more obvious.
