Violet Spirit did not reject Han Li's offer this time. She took the jade slips and checked them, and her expression changed.
Although her cultivation level was not high, she had stayed in Black River Water Palace and Puppet City, so she was knowledgeable.
The cultivation methods in these jade slips were extremely precious, and if any of them were to be leaked, it would be a treasure that countless people would fight for.
"You have cultivated the Puppet City's' Heart of the Puppet 'to a very high level, but when it comes to refining the divine sense, there is no cultivation method that can compare to the' Cultivating Spirit Art 'in all the major domains. If you can cultivate it successfully, it will definitely be of great help to your puppet control skills. However, this cultivation method also has a lot of drawbacks, which I have recorded in the jade slip. You can decide how you want to choose.
Don't slack on the cultivation of 'Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Art', when you leave Accumulated Scale Spatial Realm in the future, you still have to rely on your cultivation level. It will be much easier to open mystic apertures, and then immortal apertures. "Han Li warned.
"I understand." Violet Spirit nodded and kept the jade slips.
"As for the two cultivation methods, they were obtained from a Demon Grand Luo. Although you can't cultivate them now, they are quite compatible with your physique, so you can leave them for the future.
As for the first two cultivation arts, you can cultivate them now. In particular, the Accumulated Scale Spatial Realm is rich in star power, so it's the ideal environment to cultivate the Baleful Hell Suppression Arts. Stay here with me to protect Fellow Daoist Xie, and I'll be able to offer you some guidance, "Han Li said.
"No, I plan to return to City Lord Sha's side first. My control technique has yet to reach a profound level, and I need her guidance to improve it. Otherwise, all my previous efforts would have been in vain. As for the cultivation technique you gave me, I will arrange it properly.
Also, I will take care of myself, don't worry. "Violet Spirit looked away and said plainly.
"Then keep this, I took it from someone in your Puppet City. It is quite powerful, and I am giving it to you. Even if Sha Xin knows about it, he won't dare to say anything. Keep it to protect yourself." Han Li then took out a golden ball and handed it to Violet Spirit. It was the Golden-Winged Owl puppet.
"Golden-Winged Owl!"
When Violet Spirit saw the golden orb, her beautiful eyes flickered, but she did not refuse. She took the golden orb and put it away.
"You've given me so many things. I'm unable to repay you, so I'll give you a small gift in return." After muttering to herself for a moment, she took out an item and handed it over.
Han Li took the item. It was a green jade pendant, sparkling and translucent like water. It seemed to be made of an extraordinary material.
However, this jade pendant was not complete. It looked like it was only half, and the fracture was uneven, as if it had been broken by someone.
A ball of light appeared in the center of the jade pendant, and the image of a person vaguely appeared.
"Violet Spirit, this …" Han Li's face changed and he lifted his head to look at Violet Spirit.
"You don't have to worry too much about this matter. I'll handle it myself. Today, I'm just here to inform you." Violet Spirit said calmly. Although her voice was soft, it was filled with determination.
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Han Li took a step forward as if he wanted to reach out to stop her, but in the end, he stopped and looked at the jade pendant in his hand and sighed.
Violet Spirit quickly left the underground space and came outside.
At the moment, a group of people were standing outside the entrance. Apart from Sha Xin, Madam Liuhua and the others, Zhuo Ge, Hei Da, and Hei Er had also arrived and surrounded Sha Xin.
"City Lord." Violet Spirit came to Sha Xin's side and bowed.
"Violet Spirit, why did you come out? How is Master's condition inside?" Sha Xin looked surprised and hurriedly stood up to help Violet Spirit.
"That senior is still recovering at the moment. I talked with Fellow Li for a while and then came out," Violet Spirit said calmly.
"Violet Spirit, I previously sealed your spirit. Although it was for the sake of the Puppet City, it was indeed a little thoughtless. I hope you don't take it to heart." Sha Xin nodded slowly and held Violet Spirit's hand as she said apologetically.
"City Lord, there's no need to say that. I understand." Violet Spirit said.
"What plans do you have for the future?" Sha Xin secretly relaxed when she heard this and then asked.
"I'm willing to continue to follow City Lord." Violet Spirit said firmly.
…
Within the underground cave. After Violet Spirit left, a vortex suddenly appeared above the blood lake.
Immediately thereafter, the crimson crystal slab sank downward, and Han Li was sucked into it as well, sinking into the lake.
Below the blood lake, a formation light flashed.
Immediately thereafter, Han Li and Daoist Xie appeared in a massive crystal palace.
The walls of the palace were completely transparent and were of a faint crimson color. There were all types of runes engraved all over the surface of the palace, making it appear as if it were a large crystal coffin.
The crimson crystal slab that contained Daoist Xie's body was embedded into a stone platform that was around half as tall as a grown man, and the runes on the platform were intertwined to form a seamless whole.
There were three circular ditches on the ground of the crystal palace, all of which were also engraved with complex runes.
The entire palace appeared to be a massive star formation.
Han Li swept his gaze past and couldn't help but raise his brow. To his surprise, he discovered that Edgar's corpse was lying in a circular ditch nearby.
"Friend Han, I've fused with this body, but I'm still far from being resurrected.
I need to rest here so that I can truly be resurrected, and as I said before, I'll need you to guard this place for me for some time, "the body on the crimson crystal slab suddenly said.
"Why me and not Sha Xin?
Isn't she your subordinate?
She seems to have been very loyal to you and has been trying to resurrect you this entire time, "Han Li asked with furrowed brows.
"Ge was my trusted subordinate back then, and he was ordered to guard this place for me, but in the end... He colluded with the Devilish Lord and almost destroyed this Karmic Spatial Realm.
The only person I'm willing to trust now is you, Friend Han, "Daoist Xie said with a shake of his head.
"There's something I don't understand. What's your relationship with the Devilish Lord, and why did he try to kill you?" Han Li asked.
"It's a long story; I'll tell you about it after I completely recover.
There are two side palaces on each side of the Meteorite Crystal Palace, one of which is where I used to conduct my research on mystic cultivation and puppetry techniques. The tomes and materials sealed in there are still intact, so you can read them freely.
The other side is where I used to cultivate, and you can also go into seclusion there, "Daoist Xie continued after a brief hesitation.
Han Li didn't pursue the matter and nodded in agreement.
After a while, the circular array above the Crystal Palace first lit up with a ray of starlight. Then, like a prairie fire, it instantly lit up the entire array.
The four walls and the ground of the Crystal Palace shone with starlight at the same time, as if a vast galaxy had appeared. Boundless power of the stars gathered from all directions.
All of the patterns on the crimson stone slab and the stone platform down below lit up, and a layer of light then converged to form a crimson barrier that enshrouded Daoist Xie's body within.
At the same time, the sound of flowing water rang out from the trenches on the ground of the palace.
Bursts of lake blood water imbued with pure blood essence power flowed into the palace, filling up the three trenches before converging toward the crimson stone platform at the center.
Han Li could clearly sense that the boundless power within the blood water was slowly fusing into the body.
Right at this moment, a loud thump erupted.
Han Li cast his gaze toward the source of the commotion, and discovered that within the trench on the outskirts of the palace, Ge's body had suddenly exploded, and pieces of flesh and bones were drawn toward the crystalline walls of the trench by a burst of peculiar power.
Under the constant erosion of the blood, his flesh and blood began to rapidly melt. Even his bones began to melt bit by bit. All the power in his remains turned into extremely pure vital energy that fused with the entire formation.
Right at this moment, Han Li's heart jolted violently, and his face became extremely flushed.
His expression changed slightly, and he silently circulated the star power within his body before making his way toward the side palace on the right.
Han Li passed through a crystalline stone door and entered the side palace before immediately sitting down with his legs crossed.
At this moment, the blood within his body was surging through his veins, and it was as if all of his blood were boiling. His skin also felt as if it were on fire, and layers of scorching pink steam were rising from his pores.
The Giant Mountain Ape, Lightning Roc, True Dragon, and all of the other true spirit bloodlines began to stir violently within his body, threatening to erupt at any moment.
Han Li immediately circulated the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Art, mobilizing all of the star power within his body in an attempt to suppress it.
However, as soon as he circulated it, the True Spirit bloodline within his body immediately became more and more violent, as if it had been injected with a powerful elixir. Han Li's bones began to make bursts of cracking sounds.
"What's going on?" Han Li was dumbfounded, and he was extremely shocked.
He pondered for a moment, and then remembered that when he was fighting with Ge earlier, he had circulated the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Art, and that was why the power of the True Spirit bloodline had increased so much. It was clear that there was indeed a synergistic effect between the two.
However, at this moment, the True Spirit bloodline was suffering a backlash, and if he continued to intensify it, it would naturally have the opposite effect.
Shocked, Han Li hurriedly stopped circulating the Heavenly Fiend Prison Art, and only used his mind to guide the star power within his body, spreading it to every part of his body to help calm the surging Qi and blood within his body.
After a full four hours, the restless True Spirit bloodline in Han Li's body finally subsided. Han Li slowly opened his eyes, and let out a long breath, but his face was still flushed from the Qi and blood that had just receded.
"I didn't expect the True Spirit bloodline to suffer a backlash at this time. It's going to be troublesome in the future …" Han Li let out a long sigh.
As he finished speaking, he stood up and looked around.
In the middle of the hall, there were eight rows of white jade bookshelves that were ten feet tall, and they were arranged in a circular pattern towards the center of the hall. The bookshelves were densely packed with all kinds of books.
In the middle of the hall, there was an exquisite crystal pagoda. It was no more than ten feet tall, and it had eight corners and nine levels. It was surrounded by spiritual light, and it looked extremely magnificent.
