"It wasn't me... Mo Xianzi was the first to discover Yu Daoyou. She was worried you were in seclusion, so she sent a message to me. That's when I went to find you." Duan Yu Zai shook his head and said.

"These days, the valley hasn't been peaceful. I originally planned to sit quietly in meditation for a while, but I couldn't calm down. So this morning I went to Qingfeng Cliff again, and I saw him lying in the snow, his aura almost gone. I almost thought he was dead," Mo Wuxue sighed.

Han Li didn't say anything more after hearing this.

He raised his palm and placed it on Yu Ziqi's brow, examined him again, then stood up and looked down from the edge of Qingfeng Cliff. He became even more puzzled, wondering who helped him seal off his consciousness.

"Li Daoyou, how is he now?" Mo Wuxue asked upon seeing this.

"His physical body and spirit soul have stabilized for the time being, but he hasn't truly escaped danger. Let's take him back to my cave first. He'll need a long period of recuperation afterward to truly save him," Han Li said, pondering.

"Thank you, Li Daoyou..." Mo Wuxue said, giving Han Li a salute.

Han Li was stunned at the sight of this. He moved his gaze back and forth between Mo Wuxue and Yu Ziqi for a moment, then realized what was happening. He thought to himself, "Yu Daoyou, ah Yu Daoyou... Wouldn't you say this is a blessing in disguise?"

After calming his mind, Han Li waved his sleeve, and a green light lifted Yu Ziqi from below, floating him into the air and flying away with him back to his cave.

...

More than half a month later.

Jingyang Shangren, who had just returned to the valley, and Rehuo Xianzun, along with others, received a message from Han Li and returned one after another. Duan Yu Zai and Mo Wuxue also joined them, and the group gathered inside Han Li's cave.

Xie Daoren and Mo Guang, like always, were kept by Han Li in the "Flower Branch" Dong Tian. Only some puppets and Dao soldiers were left in the residence. Yu Ziqi was placed in the side room where Mo Guang had previously stayed.

After this period of recuperation, the aura on his body had stabilized somewhat, but the damage to his spirit soul was still severe, and there was no sign of him waking up.

After Rehuo Xianzun and Jingyang Shangren examined him, the two, who usually liked to bicker, rarely didn't argue. They unanimously agreed that the person who attacked Yu Ziqi should be found and annihilated.

"I told you earlier that the current situation is somewhat turbulent, and Xianyun Mountain will only become more and more unstable. I just didn't expect it to come so quickly..." Jingyang Shangren took a big gulp of wine and sighed.

"Jingyang Daoyou, did you get some information from somewhere that we don't know about?" Mo Wuxue asked, frowning.

"It's not exactly secret information. As long as you spend some immortal essence stones, you can buy it in Jukun City," Jingyang Shangren shook his head and said.

"Since that's the case, tell us about it first. After all, it's been a while since we've been to Jukun City," Han Li said, glancing at him.

"Yeah, it's come to this. Don't keep us in suspense," Rehuo Xianzun also said.

"Actually, it's nothing special. You all know about the Silver Fox Rogue's rampage in Jukun City, right? There were some follow-up events... The Grand Palace Master of Heishan Immortal Palace, using the excuse that he might have escaped into Xianyun Mountain, joined forces with the Supervising Immortal Envoy stationed in Jukun City to pressure the scattered cultivator who originally set the rules for Xianyun Mountain, forcing him to allow Immortal Palace cultivators to infiltrate the various valleys of Xianyun Mountain for investigation," Jingyang Shangren said after taking another gulp of wine.

"Are you saying that the person who attacked Yu Daoyou might be from Heishan Immortal Palace?" Rehuo Xianzun asked, frowning.

"I didn't say that... I'm just saying that people from Heishan Immortal Palace have infiltrated Xianyun Mountain, stirring up the water here. In fact, there are even more 'Yi Pao Hui' people mixed in Xianyun Mountain. Neither of these sides is easy to deal with," Jingyang Shangren waved his hand and said.

"It's not like the people from the Reincarnation Palace haven't been mixed in here for a day or two. Didn't it used to be peaceful? In my opinion, it's more likely that the Immortal Palace people did it," Duan Yu Zai shook his head and said.

The Yi Pao Hui, like the Ten Directions Tower and the Wu Chang Alliance, are all subordinate forces of the Reincarnation Palace, and are similarly widely distributed in the Immortal Domain.

"Could it be that Yu Daoyou is a member of the Reincarnation Palace?" Han Li suddenly asked.

Rehuo Xianzun and Duan Yu Zai looked at Jingyang Shangren first, then at Mo Wuxue.

One of them was close to Yu Ziqi, and the other was someone Yu Ziqi admired, but both shook their heads, saying they didn't know.

"There's no use guessing like this now. Let's wait until Yu Daoyou wakes up and ask him," Mo Wuxue said.

"In any case, everyone should be more careful when acting in the valley in the future..." Jingyang Shangren raised his wine gourd, brought it to his mouth, but didn't drink, and said.

After everyone dispersed, Han Li felt even more uneasy in his heart, feeling that this place was no longer suitable to live in.

However, if he rashly left Yehe Valley at this time, he was afraid that he would be noticed by the Immortal Palace people, which would only be more troublesome. It would be better to stay for a while longer and observe the situation.

Moreover, Yu Ziqi had not yet recovered from his injuries and still needed his long-term care and treatment.

After thinking for a moment, he began to prepare the materials for setting up formations, and began to remove the restrictions in Yu Ziqi's nascent soul...

In the blink of an eye, more than five years had passed.

Early this morning, Han Li sat quietly in a secret room, holding the Palm Heaven Bottle in one hand, and turning his other wrist, he took out the emerald green gourd.

He opened the Palm Heaven Bottle, tilted it slightly towards the mouth of the gourd, and dripped a drop of green liquid into it.

Over the years, after intermittent green liquid nurturing, the area near the mouth of the gourd that had a dim color had gradually disappeared, and the color had become almost indistinguishable from the rest of the gourd. But Han Li always felt that it was still a little short of being completely mature.

With a soft "ding" sound,

The mouth of the gourd made a pleasant sound. The drop of green liquid that fell on it did not splash at all and was completely absorbed by the gourd.

Immediately afterward, the emerald green light on the green gourd flourished, becoming extremely bright. Countless emerald green runes on its surface flickered uncertainly, looking like boiling water violently shaking.

An indescribable powerful law force suddenly emerged, rippling towards the surroundings.

At this moment, a soft "po" sound came from the mouth of the gourd.

To Han Li's surprise, the emerald green gourd opened on its own without anyone urging it.

"This is... completely mature?" Han Li's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ghostly green light spewed out from the entire mouth of the emerald green gourd, turning into a ghostly green flame that enveloped the entire gourd, suspending it in mid-air, and burning around it in a complex, washing manner.

After dozens of breaths, the flame suddenly began to shrink and become smaller, eventually disappearing completely. The entire surface of the gourd was completely renewed, with a emerald green color like jade, reflecting a crystal clear luster on the surface, and a warm and comfortable feeling to the touch.

Han Li was overjoyed at the sight of this. Just as he was about to examine it carefully, he suddenly frowned sharply, feeling a burning pain on one of his arms.

He hurriedly tore open his sleeve and looked down. He saw a faint green sword-shaped mark on his arm, faintly existing there. It was the Xuantian Slashing Spirit Sword that had disappeared for many years!

Immediately afterward, he felt the blood in his arm rushing to the mark. A layer of bloody light suddenly filled it, making the original vague and abnormal light green mark gradually clear.

"Could it be that the Slashing Spirit Sword is about to be reborn?" Han Li's heart skipped a beat, feeling extremely surprised.

After all, although the Xuantian Slashing Spirit Sword was a thing from the lower realm, it was also a Xuantian treasure containing the power of interface laws. Even in the True Immortal Realm, it could be called a rare innate immortal artifact, which must contain many mysteries that he had not yet discovered.

However, before he could finish being happy, a sharp pain like burning fire came from his arm. The green mark suddenly turned into a dark green light and pierced out of his skin, heading straight for the mouth of the gourd and instantly disappearing into it.

Han Li was immediately shocked. He didn't care about the severe pain in his arm and immediately grabbed the gourd, pressing it against his brow. His divine sense entered the emerald green space inside.

Within the space, emerald light filled the air. A huge green vortex was still slowly rotating, and the seventy-two Cyan Bamboo Cloud Swarm Swords were quietly suspended within, emitting a soft, water-like cyan light, each with a clear sword light.

Han Li's gaze searched around inside, but he didn't find any trace of the Xuantian Slashing Spirit Sword. He then sank his mind again and entered the second layer of space inside the green gourd.

As soon as he entered the second layer of space, Han Li immediately felt dizzy, feeling that there were bursts of green light constantly flashing before his eyes.

When he focused his attention, he saw that the green sphere that had been quietly suspended in the space was flashing, one bright and one dark. Layers of green light circles were constantly flashing out from it, emitting bursts of strange fluctuations.

A green sword-shaped pattern appeared on the sphere. It was the mark of the Xuantian Slashing Spirit Sword.

When he tried to make contact with it with his divine sense, a dark green light immediately shot out from the sword mark and exploded in the void, directly shattering the divine sense he had cast over.

Han Li grunted, his eyes suddenly opened, and he gasped for breath.

He only felt thunder rumbling in his sea of consciousness, and his head was in excruciating pain. He quickly closed his eyes again to adjust his breath. After a long time, his expression gradually returned to normal.

"Although I don't know why this happened, it seems that it has merged with the gourd..." After a long time, he rubbed his aching brow with one hand and muttered to himself.

The Xuantian Slashing Spirit Sword was not really reborn. The remaining power of destruction laws seemed to be attracted into the emerald green gourd and integrated into it, which could be considered making the most of its use.

It's just unknown what the power changes will be in the matured Xuantian Gourd after this series of changes?
