Wang Yu
Chapter 94: The Ancestral God's Last Words
It seemed his guess was indeed correct. The beam of light with a slowing effect emitted by the Cyclops contained the power of some kind of law.
He was just unsure what kind of law this single eye emitted.
However, most of the methods used by this giant were earth-attributed, and he had previously used some kind of supernatural power that intensified the opponent's gravity. Could it be that the earth law contained in this single eye was attached with the law of gravity?
"Perhaps..."
Han Li shook his head, ceasing to ponder further.
Regardless of what law it contained, knowing that it was a material containing the power of law was enough.
With a thought, the black-blue eyeball in front of Han Li flashed and dissipated, a hint of fatigue appearing on his face.
He flipped his hand and took out a Cloud Crane Grass, swallowing it. He only recovered after a moment.
Han Li put away the single eye into his storage magical artifact, then flipped his hand again, taking out the human-faced walnut he had previously explored with his spiritual sense.
Han Li pursed his lips, muttering to himself again. The eyes and the Law-Breaking Eye in the center of his brow flashed again, shooting out three rays of light, condensing into that black-blue eyeball.
Black-blue ripples enveloped the human-faced walnut, and strands of spiritual sense crystal reappeared, penetrating into the walnut's interior.
Time passed little by little, and Han Li's lips curled up again as he opened his eyes.
The black-blue eyeball flashed and dissipated, and the strands of spiritual sense exited from within the walnut.
He took out another Cloud Crane Grass and swallowed it, then played with the human-faced walnut in his hand, a hint of joy on his face.
Although it was very weak, he did sense it this time. The walnut contained a trace of rather pure earth law.
In the following time, he took out several other human-faced walnuts and explored them one by one, and indeed, they were all the same.
It seemed his luck was truly good. The things he obtained by chance in the gaps between interfaces were so extraordinary.
"It seems that two problems in cultivating the Earth Immortal have been solved, but how to choose between this single eye and the walnuts needs careful consideration." Han Li took a long breath and narrowed his eyes, pondering again.
According to the information obtained from Luo Feng, the type of law the Earth God Incarnation condenses is greatly related to the type of law power the materials used in refining the statue are biased towards.
The special Earth God Incarnation he wanted to refine was even more directly related to the type of law power the material itself contained.
Han Li quickly shook his head.
It was too early to consider this now. The most urgent task was to find a high-level Earth Immortal cultivation method first.
He carefully put away the human-faced walnuts and flipped his hand again, taking out the white jade tablet.
Blue light appeared in Han Li's eyes as he used the Clarity Spiritual Eyes.
In his vision, the surface of the white jade tablet was shrouded in a layer of faint water-blue light.
This blue halo gave Han Li a strange feeling, definitely not a simple restriction.
Vaguely, many wave-like phantoms could be seen in the blue light, containing a trace of water-attribute fluctuations. Obviously, the person who placed the restriction on this jade tablet was also the ancestor god Luo Meng.
However, Luo Feng and the others didn't seem to be able to detect the appearance of the blue light on the jade tablet.
Han Li looked at the jade tablet in his hand, a hint of curiosity appearing in his eyes as he flicked his fingers.
More than a dozen white lights flew out, landing around him, which were more than a dozen white array flags.
Dazzling white light emerged from the array flags, condensing into a lotus-shaped white magic formation that buzzed and ran incessantly.
Han Li waved his hand, throwing the white jade tablet out, which was immediately caught by the white magic formation, suspended in mid-air.
He made hand seals with both hands, casting out spells.
As the surrounding lotus magic formation light flowed, countless white runes emerged. Following Han Li's spells, they gathered toward the jade tablet, penetrating into it.
The blue halo on the jade tablet immediately brightened, resisting the invasion of the white runes. However, under Han Li's control, these white runes changed unpredictably, and little by little, they broke through the blockade of the blue halo, invading the jade tablet.
The restrictions on the white jade tablet were extraordinary, and it was not easy to forcibly break them. Fortunately, Han Li was quite knowledgeable in the art of formations and restrictions, and with the blessing of his powerful spiritual sense and Clarity Spiritual Eyes, he had seen through many clues and was not without solutions.
Time passed little by little, and the blue halo on the jade tablet became increasingly dim, soon leaving only a thin layer.
"Go!"
Han Li shouted softly, his hand seals suddenly speeding up.
The white lotus magic formation suddenly brightened, and countless white runes surged out, gathering in one place, forming more than a dozen white cones, which stabbed fiercely at the jade tablet.
Bang!
The last layer of blue light on the jade tablet flickered violently a few times, finally shattering.
Han Li was overjoyed and was about to wave his hand to grab the jade tablet.
At this moment, an unexpected change occurred!
Some of the runes on the jade tablet suddenly wriggled, as if they were alive.
Extremely dazzling white light emanated from the jade tablet, condensing into clusters of white clouds, emitting a rumbling sound similar to muffled thunder.
"What is this!" Han Li was startled and stood up abruptly.
He saw large swathes of white clouds gushing out continuously from the jade tablet, circling around it, and soon forming a bizarre vortex several feet in size.
A black hole appeared in the center of the vortex. At first, it was only the size of a fist, but as the vortex rotated, it grew larger and larger. After a few breaths, it turned into the size of a millstone, and intense spatial fluctuations spread out from it.
It was dark and unfathomable, and it was unknown where it led.
Han Li looked at the strange passage in front of him and quickly calmed down. He closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense to probe into it.
However, after a moment, he opened his eyes and smiled wryly with some helplessness.
There seemed to be a strange power inside this passage that blocked his spiritual sense, preventing him from knowing the situation inside in detail.
This power was not weak. If he wanted to force his way in, he could naturally do it with his spiritual sense, but half of his spiritual sense was being used to isolate the Nascent Soul from the outside world, so he couldn't fully exert himself.
He stood in place for a long time, hesitated slightly, and finally his body swayed, leaping into the black hole.
Inside the hole was a passage about ten feet square, with bright white light all around. Beyond a hundred steps, there was a dark exit floating in the void.
As soon as he stepped out of the hole, a strange fragrant aura rushed towards him.
Han Li subconsciously wrinkled his nose and frowned, looking around.
He saw that the surroundings were a lush green ancient forest, no more than a mile in radius, and all around were shrouded in thick mist. It seemed to be a small secret realm.
After a brief observation, he found that the spiritual energy here seemed to be similar to that of the Black Wind Sea, and it did not seem to be a blessed land.
Most of the surrounding ancient trees were more than a hundred feet tall, with straight trunks, and only near the top did many branches diverge, supporting a large expanse of verdant canopy. The connection and shielding of each other made the entire forest appear somewhat dim.
There were few shrubs growing in the forest, and no animals could be seen. It looked dead and lifeless.
Han Li saw through the gaps between the ancient trees that there was a relatively open area deep in the forest, which seemed to be a square.
He walked through the forest and slowly walked over, only to find that it was not a square, but an area of ten feet in radius without a single ancient tree, making this place appear somewhat empty.
In the center of this open area, a strange purple flower grew alone. Its shape was like a peony, but as large as a lotus leaf, dark purple all over. The leaves were somewhat similar to banana leaves, but the stamens were shaped like a cockscomb, looking quite strange.
The bursts of strange fragrance he smelled earlier emanated from it.
A few feet away from this flower, there was also a two-story wooden building no more than three feet high. Due to years of disrepair, the doors and window lattices had rotted, and most of the eaves had collapsed. Slippery moss grew everywhere on the walls, making it look very dilapidated.
On the left side of the wooden building's entrance, there was also a gray-white corpse, sitting half-leaning against the wall, its two withered bone palms extending in front of it, seemingly making a grasping gesture.
And the direction of its fingers was precisely the purple flower.
Han Li looked at the corpse for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
He immediately strode forward, squatted down, and carefully observed the corpse.
The corpse's clothes had long since rotted, and were tattered everywhere, looking like pieces of mud. The remains were covered with a thick layer of dirt and dust.
However, through the dust, one could see that there seemed to be traces of shimmering light left on its bones, which looked quite peculiar. It was likely that it was also a Taoist practitioner before death.
Han Li waved his hand gently, and a gust of breeze swept through, directly sweeping away all the dust and clothing fragments on the withered bones, revealing a skeleton of snow-white bones shimmering with light.
"Clatter."
A soft sound came from the withered bones, and several jade slips and a storage ring fell down.
Han Li casually picked up a jade slip, looked at it for a moment, then raised his hand and placed it on his forehead, his spiritual sense sinking into it.
There was nothing else in the jade slip, only a few hundred words:
"If any of my Luo family descendants are destined to enter this realm, do not be surprised. I am your ancestor god Luo Meng. My previous incarnation was severely injured, and I have been in seclusion here for more than nine thousand years... I originally intended to cultivate the Soul-Birthing Flower and recast the Earth God Incarnation, but there are still more than three thousand years before the flower blooms. I encountered a strong enemy, and although I killed him, I was also seriously injured. The accumulation of injuries is irreversible, and I am afraid it is too late. I hope in the future..."
After a moment, Han Li suddenly opened his eyes, and he could not help but feel a little regret. This Luo Meng had quietly fallen more than a thousand years ago, but the people of his clan still did not know.
However, perhaps it was precisely because of this that no news had been spread, so that enemy forces such as the Blue Crystal Clan, although they had long coveted it, had still waited until recent years before launching an attack on Wumeng Island.
This could be considered a blessing in misfortune.
