"Lord Liu, this magic circle altar has been built entirely according to your requirements. All the remaining spiritual materials that weren't used are here." As he spoke, Luo Feng handed over a black storage ring.

Han Li had already examined the altar when he flew over earlier. It was built very regularly and there were no problems. He immediately waved his hand at Luo Feng and said, "Keep it."

"Thank you, Lord Liu." Luo Feng was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

"I have already taught you the method of operating the magic circle. Afterwards, I will have Jin Tong protect the formation for you here, so you can cultivate here with peace of mind. However, the time I can give you is limited, only forty-nine days." Han Li said.

"If this magic circle is as powerful as you say, forty-nine days will be enough," said the Earth Fiend Avatar.

Luo Feng stood aside, watching the two talk, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Han Li saw it, but said nothing. Instead, he flew down onto the altar.

He walked around the altar, turned his wrist, and took out round stones containing a rich water attribute law power, embedding them one by one into the grooves on the magic circle.

"Alright, you can enter the formation and begin." After finishing, he returned to the ground and said.

The Earth Fiend Avatar nodded, then leaped and landed in the center of the altar, sitting down cross-legged.

Before long, as a burst of chanting sounded, the entire altar shook violently. Beams of light shot up into the sky, stirring into the heavenly clouds, instantly forming a huge funnel-shaped vortex.

Above the surrounding sea area, the heavenly clouds surged like a flood. Streams of majestic water attribute spiritual energy gathered from all directions, converging into the vortex, and then falling onto the altar.

The Earth Fiend Avatar bathed in it, and his body suddenly lit up with blue light, transforming into a transparent crystalline state, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"You stay here and protect him for forty-nine days." Han Li patted Jin Tong's shoulder and said.

"Okay, okay, Uncle." Jin Tong nodded absentmindedly, and said.

Han Li knew that apart from eating those heavenly treasures, it was really unrealistic to expect her to do one thing wholeheartedly.

Fortunately, this place was remote and far from the Heavenly Court forces, so it was considered safe. If anyone really wanted to cause trouble, just a little bit of Jin Tong's aura would be enough to make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties.

"Luo Feng, you come back to Wumeng Island with me." Han Li looked at Luo Feng and said.

The latter nodded and followed Han Li away on the wind.

"I know you have doubts about what you have seen, right?" After flying into the air, Han Li hovered in mid-air, waiting for Luo Feng to catch up, and then spoke.

Luo Feng didn't know how to answer, so he nodded.

"I didn't intend to hide it from you anyway. The thing is..." Han Li then told Luo Feng about changing the Earth Fiend Avatar, but naturally he didn't mention the matter of severing the corpse.

The two slowly flew back towards Wumeng Island. Luo Feng's expression was terrified at first, but when he heard that Han Li had already arranged everything, his expression gradually returned to normal.

"Lord Liu, our Wumeng Island has been able to survive until now and prosper as it is today, thanks to your support and protection. You could have not told me about this matter, but now that the arrangements are so thorough, I have no other thoughts and will follow your arrangements in everything." In the end, Luo Feng cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Han Li, and said.

"Very good." Han Li nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

In the days that followed, Han Li stayed on Wumeng Island, secretly directing Luo Feng to arrange for the aftermath.

It was not easy to change an island that was originally maintained by faith and blood.

Therefore, Han Li started from the very basics, selecting a group of young children with good roots and talents from the island, gathering them in the Ancestral God Temple in the name of serving the Ancestral God, and teaching them the basic cultivation methods.

As long as the seeds of change were sown, with Luo Feng secretly guiding and supporting them, it would only be a matter of time before Wumeng Island gradually evolved into a place of cultivation similar to a sect or family.

Forty-nine days later, Han Li left Wumeng Island and returned to Tianshuang Island.

As soon as he returned to the island, Jin Tong immediately greeted him.

"Uncle, you're finally back. Your avatar came out of seclusion four days ago and has been sitting there quietly, like a dumb gourd, not saying a word. I think it's about to turn into a stone." She complained.

"Has there been much movement here these days? Has anyone come to spy?" Han Li asked.

"There was someone the day after you left, and then several more waves came one after another, all sneaking around, not daring to get too close. I followed your instructions and sent them all away." Jin Tong replied.

"How did you send them away?" Han Li asked suspiciously.

"Just like you said, I told them that the Ancestral God of Wumeng Island was in seclusion here, and no idlers were allowed to approach." Jin Tong avoided Han Li's eyes and said.

"Didn't hit anyone?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No... I hit one. I told that guy to scram, but he was still unwilling to give up and secretly came back to investigate. I knocked him to the bottom of the sea with a flick on the forehead, and he didn't float up for a long time." Jin Tong said with an embarrassed smile.

"Didn't hurt anyone's life?" Han Li asked.

"No, no... I didn't use any strength. But, since I hit him, no one has come again." Jin Tong quickly shook her head and said.

Han Li nodded, said nothing more, and with a leap, came to the altar in the island.

The various water attribute immortal essence stones inlaid around the altar had now all turned gray and white, and the immortal spiritual power contained within them had naturally all been gathered into the body of the Earth Fiend Avatar.

At this moment, the Earth Fiend Avatar was sitting cross-legged in place. His entire body still maintained the almost transparent crystalline blue color. All the internal organs were complete in form, and one could see strands of immortal spiritual power transformed from the power of faith flowing through it, but it always failed to give people the unique fresh breath of a living creature.

Inside the avatar's head, one could see a water-blue illusory figure, looking like a Nascent Soul of an ordinary cultivator, but far less agile and clear than a Nascent Soul, looking like a cloud of smoke.

"The soul has returned, and the body is pure. It has reached the expected state." Han Li nodded and said.

At this moment, the illusory figure suddenly scattered its light, dissipating like smoke, spreading throughout the entire body.

The sense of transparency on his body no longer existed, and his figure then returned to normal.

"I'm ready, what should I do next?" The Earth Fiend Avatar suddenly opened his eyes and said.

Han Li smiled slightly, did not speak, but waved his hand, and a silver light door immediately appeared beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a black-clothed girl walked out of the light door, it was Ti Hun.

After a long period of recuperation, her injuries had completely recovered, and her cultivation had also returned to its peak state.

"This is Ti Hun. Next, she will use a secret soul technique to seal your spiritual sense and soul. You may have to sleep for some time." Han Li said.

The Earth Fiend Avatar looked Ti Hun up and down, opened his mouth, but did not speak, just nodded.

Then, he closed his eyes and waited for Ti Hun to cast the spell.

Han Li nodded to Ti Hun upon seeing this.

Ti Hun then stepped forward and came to the Earth Fiend Avatar.

She raised her hand, joined her middle finger and index finger, and pointed at the Earth Fiend Avatar's brow. A bean-sized dark red light immediately lit up on the fingertip, and circles of annular ripples rippled from it.

A powerful soul wave then spread out from it.

Han Li watched for a while, then turned and walked down the altar.

He turned his wrist, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and then a number of array flags and array plates appeared. He placed them one by one in the rock crevices on the island as he walked.

After about two hours, Han Li walked through almost every inch of land on the entire island, placing all the more than 1,800 array flags and array plates he had prepared in advance.

When he returned to the altar, Ti Hun had also finished. The Earth Fiend Avatar had returned to its original blue crystal-like body, but the smoky illusory figure in the head had disappeared.

Han Li released his divine sense and carefully examined the Earth Fiend Avatar, his eyebrows could not help but twitch slightly, appearing quite surprised.

"With my divine sense power, and the divine soul connection between me and the avatar, I can't even detect where his divine soul is. Could it be that you extracted it from the body?" Han Li asked in confusion.

"Didn't Master say that the Ancestral God's divine soul cannot leave the Earth Immortal body for a long time? How could I do that?" Ti Hun smiled and said.

"In that case, your soul sealing secret technique is really powerful, so powerful that even I can't see the clues." Han Li praised.

Ti Hun smiled upon hearing this, raised her hand and pointed towards the palm of the Earth Fiend Avatar.

A light immediately lit up in his palm, from which an obscure figure the size of a dragon's eye emerged, flashed, and then disappeared again.

"In this way, even if the Evil Corpse occupies the body of the Earth Immortal, it will not be able to detect the avatar's divine soul." Han Li said.

With that said, he turned his wrist, and a Green Bamboo Cloud-Bee Sword appeared in his palm, and he began to carve runes on the ground.

The complexity of this rune formation far exceeded all the magic circles that Han Li had seen in the past. The formation map alone was nested in three layers.

The innermost layer was a yin-yang double fish pattern, the slightly outer layer was a circle of meandering runes, and the outermost layer was a circle of annular runes.

In each layer of runes, there were thumb-sized rune characters filling them, densely packed, countless in number.

After the runes were carved, Han Li twisted his wrist again, took out a dozen immortal essence stones and seven or eight treasures containing different spiritual energy breaths, and placed them separately on each formation eye and formation pivot.

By the time everything was arranged, the setting sun was already plastered on the sea in the far distance, dyeing the entire ocean orange-red.

"Okay... Jin Tong has gone to play in the storms in the distant sea again. You go and call her back too. You guard the two ends of the island, south and north, to suppress the formation for me." Han Li put away the Green Bamboo Cloud-Bee Sword and said to Ti Hun.

"Okay." Ti Hun nodded and turned to leave.

"Once the altar formation is activated, you will simultaneously open the barrier I arranged on the island. After that, no matter what happens on the altar, you must not intervene. Just guard the island protection barrier, and do not allow anyone to enter, nor allow anyone to leave, remember?" Han Li's expression turned serious and he instructed.

"I remember." Ti Hun nodded and said.

With that said, she leaped up and, under Han Li's gaze, disappeared into the sky above Tianshuang Island in an instant.
