Chapter 834

Much to Han Li's disappointment, the descriptions in these ancient tomes were quite different from the Weeping Soul Beast's current situation, regardless of whether it was the prolonged comatose state caused by soul injuries or the dormant state caused by the sealing of one's Nascent Soul.

The Weeping Soul's soul was not injured. Even if it was, it should have been repaired by the Purple Sun Warm Jade. As for the Nascent Soul being sealed, that was even more ridiculous.

In the end, Han Li could only sigh and prepare to make other plans.

As for Shi Pokong's request to seek help from the First Prince's High Priest, Han Li did not have high expectations. After all, the two sides were sworn enemies fighting for the future, and there was a lot of conflict of interest. From the current situation, it seemed that the First Prince was not a simple character, so how could he be willing to help the other side?

In the following time, Han Li continued to read books. After reading a large amount of information about the Spirit Realm, he felt as if a door to a new world had suddenly been opened to him. Only then did he realize that his previous understanding of the Spirit Realm was too shallow.

He had come into contact with the Spirit Realm for a long time. Back then, Bao Hua had displayed the Profound Heavenly Pseudo Spirit Realm. Later on, Xiao Jinhan and the others had also displayed the real Spirit Realm, and there was no lack of Creation Spirit Realms among them.

After that, he had condensed his own Spirit Realm with the help of Rat Immortal Mo Yu. Speaking of which, the latter did not reveal too much inside information to him.

Now, he finally had a systematic understanding of the situation of the Spirit Realm.

As it turned out, while Spirit Realm was divided into the Creation Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm, there was no difference in cultivation between the two. It did not mean that one had to reach the Creation Realm in order to raise a realm spirit in Spirit Realm.

It was just that under normal circumstances in the Immortal World, most cultivators would choose to cultivate the Spirit Realm to the Creation Realm before proceeding to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This was actually not difficult to understand. It was just like building a house in the secular world. Only when the house was sturdy and all the necessary furniture would one invite people to live in it. This was the safest way.

It wasn't impossible to directly cultivate a Spirit Transformation Realm Spirit Domain. However, this was equivalent to letting one's Domain Spirit grow in a barren land. It would be detrimental to the Domain Spirit's future growth and exhaustion.

Moreover, when a spirit domain like this was used, its effects were limited. Most of the time, it only had the form, but not the spirit.

Whether it was condensing the Creation Realm or cultivating the Spirit Transformation Realm, it would take a very long time. Not only did it require a lot of resources, but it also consumed a lot of the cultivator's mind.

Back then, Han Li had spent a lot of time and effort just to form an ordinary spirit domain.

Just in the Creation Realm alone, it would take tens of thousands of years to refine the various elements of the Laws that were compatible with one's Great Dao and fuse them into the Spirit Domain to create all kinds of objects, such as buildings, landscapes, and so on.

Moreover, this process was not guaranteed to be foolproof as long as one was willing to spend time. Just like refining pills and refining weapons, there was a certain chance of failure. Once it failed, it would be the loss of the Laws of the Laws.

Even if one was successful, after these Laws of the Laws were fused into the Spirit Domain, they would need to accumulate bit by bit over the years before they could gradually form a scale. For example, Reverend Sunlight Bone's eight temples of bones had taken him millions of years to build just eight temples.

As for making the Laws of the Laws produce spiritual consciousness and fuse them into the Spirit Domain, it was even more difficult.

Most cultivators were not willing to spend a lot of time on this for the sake of not delaying their own cultivation.

Therefore, all the cultivators that Han Li had encountered before, no matter if they were Zenith Heaven cultivators, Primordial Unity Jade Immortals, Golden Immortals, or True Immortals, the Spirit Domains that they released were mostly ordinary. Very few of them were at the Creation Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm.

After closing all the ancient books, Han Li sighed in his heart. If he encountered these two types of Spirit Domains again in the future, even if the other party's cultivation was not high, he must not let his guard down.

However, he did not have that much time for the time being, so he did not intend to spend time on this in the short term.

After adjusting his breath, Han Li sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. He began to cultivate with his eyes closed.

He was in too much of a hurry during his escape earlier, so he had never properly comprehended the Major Five Elements Fantasy Technique that he obtained after integrating the five time cultivation techniques.

With the foundation of the True Word Transmigration Scripture, the Four Seasons Water Divination Technique, and the Illusionary Star Tome, in addition to his comprehension of the Law of Time, there shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to cultivate the Great Five Elements Illusionary World Technique.

…

Time flew by, and more than three years had passed.

Shi Chuankong was still in seclusion, but Han Li had.

After three years of careful comprehension, his cultivation of the Major Five Elements Fantasy Technique did not improve much. Instead, he discovered that there were many differences in his understanding of the cultivation technique when he was organizing the cultivation technique.

In terms of cultivation level, his current state was comparable to the state when he cultivated the Major Five Elements Fantasy Technique to the third level. He originally thought that his cultivation would be extremely smooth, but after he truly immersed himself in cultivation, he discovered that it was not so simple.

The Major Five Elements Fantasy Technique was not a simple superposition of the five cultivation techniques from before. After it was integrated, the circulation system was completely different from before. It became more profound and exquisite, and when cultivating it, one must emphasize on the mutual generation of the five elements.

Therefore, in terms of the progress of the cultivation technique, Han Li was still at the beginning stage, and he was only at the first level of the cultivation technique. The reason why he was in a hurry to come out of seclusion was not because there was something wrong with cultivating here, but because he was really worried about the Weeping Soul.

After coming out of seclusion, Han Li found that the Weeping Soul was still in the same state as before. It was still in a coma, and it did not wake up. There was no movement from Shi Pokong.

It could even be said that ever since Shi Pokong had gone into seclusion, Shi Pokong had not come to find him, but he had been constantly monitoring him.

Han Li knew that he could not just sit around and do nothing, so he wanted to see if he could try his luck in Yang Ye City to see if he could find another way to save the Weeping Soul.

On this day, Han Li made his way out of the Long Pavilion Garden, intending to leave the third prince's manor and head out of the imperial city.

Along the way, he encountered many devilish cultivators in the palace, and most of them had received instructions from Shi Pokong, so they all extended salutes to Han Li upon encountering him.

Just as he was about to leave the garden, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him from behind, "Senior Li, please wait..."

When he turned his head to look, he saw a petite and pretty girl in black running towards him.

The young woman appeared to be in her early teens, and her eyes were curved, giving her a very pleasing appearance. From the aura emanating from her body, he could tell that she was an early-Body Integration cultivator.

"What can I do for you, Young Mistress?" Han Li asked after she caught up to him.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Senior, please don't torment this servant.

His Highness asked me to be your guide in case you're unfamiliar with this place, "the young woman hurriedly replied as she extended a curtsey.

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

It appeared that the third prince was still rather wary of his identity as a human, and his suspicions toward him had not been dispelled by Shi Pokong's words.

The cultivator who was adept at concealing his aura had suddenly left a few days ago, and he had thought that Shi Pokong was more or less reassured of him, but now that he thought about it, that was not necessarily the case.

As such, Shi Pokong had sent a Body Integration cultivator along with him instead of sending someone to follow him in secret. This could be considered to be an overt ploy.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Mistress," Han Li said with a smile.

"Please wait a moment, Senior. Let's take the scaly carriage," the young woman said with an elated expression.

As she spoke, she removed a spirit beast pouch from her waist and opened the pouch to reveal a streak of azure light.

Two steed-like beasts with a single horn on their heads and azure scales draped over their bodies appeared, dragging a black two-wheeled carriage that was embroidered with golden threads. There was no compartment on the carriage, only a large soft chair that could seat three people side by side.

Only after Han Li boarded the carriage did the young woman enter. After taking a seat, she asked, "Where would you like to go, Senior?"

Han Li casually said, "Yang Ye City has a large number of merchants. I'm fine with any of them."

"Alright, then I'll take you to the Imperial River Square first. It's one of the eight largest markets in the Maha District, and it's also the closest to us. Senior, you can take a look there today," the young woman replied.

"There's no need to refer to yourself as a servant. As a fellow cultivator, you can address yourself as a junior. May I know your name?" Han Li said with a smile.

"Junior is Hu Jingjing. Senior can call me Jingjing or Jing'er." The young woman was a little surprised at first, but after a moment of hesitation, she recovered and immediately replied.

"Alright, let's go," Han Li said with a nod.

When the young woman heard this, she grabbed the reins with both hands and gently shook them. The two scaled beasts then began to gallop.

The carriage sped along the spacious road paved with smooth black stones, heading straight for the Imperial River Square.

...

The Rakshasa District covered an extremely large area. In addition to the imperial city, there were also large areas of imperial gardens.

The area where the Imperial River Square was located was the border between the Maha District and the Rakshasa District. In the middle was the Imperial River, a tributary of the Holy River, the Bailan River.

To the left of the river was the Maha District and to the right was the Rakshasa District. Between the two districts was a huge white arch bridge known as the Tong Ji Bridge.

After crossing the Tong Ji Bridge, one would arrive at the boundary of the Imperial River Square.

The name of the Imperial River Square came from the Imperial Garden River. It was more than ten kilometers long, facing the gardens of the Rakshasa District across the river and extending along the left side of the river.

"Senior, after crossing the Tong Ji Bridge and entering the Imperial River Square, we can no longer drive the carriage. We can only get off the carriage and walk. This is a rule set by our First Prince, and it applies to all the markets in the city," the Demon Race girl, Hu Jingjing, said apologetically.

"It's fine," Han Li nodded and said.

"What do you want to buy, Senior?

The Imperial River Square can be said to have everything. If you don't have a clue and just want to walk around, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it in ten days or half a month, "Hu Jingjing said again.

"What a coincidence. I was just planning to walk around. Miss Jingjing, why don't you tell me about the situation of the Imperial River Square?" Han Li asked with a smile without batting an eyelid.

"Yes, Senior.

Although the Imperial River Square is large, it is not the place with the highest concentration of merchants in Yang Ye City. The other two places are the Tong Yi Garden and the Sky View Street, which are both larger and more popular.

However, between the two, one focuses on the trade of magic treasures and tools, while the other focuses on the trade of medicinal pills and spirit materials. In terms of the richness of goods, the Imperial River Square is superior, "Hu Jingjing introduced with familiarity.
