A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1201-Chapter 1400)

But then in that crucial moment, a strange bird’s cry sounded from a distance. It sounded like a crow, but it was far harsher.


When the leopard heard this, its face froze and its afterimages disappeared. In the blink of an eye, only one of them remained.

The feline took a deep glance at Han Li before turning its head and shooting deep into the forest.

A short moment later, it disappeared from sight.

Han Li relaxed and retrieved his spirit beast pouch.

Although he didn’t know what was going on, he had no interest in pursuing the cat. He needed to find someplace where he could comprehend what just happened.

In the last battle, there were exceptional developments and he came to a faint realization of something. This was a possibility for him to make a breakthrough.

With a flip of his hand, he took out an azure robe from his storage bracelet and replaced the torn clothes on his body. Then, he head off in a direction away from the leopard.

Because Han Li feared that this feeling of revelation would soon disappear, Han Li didn’t walk far away. Rather, he quickly ran fifty kilometers away to a small valley and struck open a rough cave in a stone wall.

He immediately entered it and sat down cross-legged.

Comprehending his recent flash of enlightenment took him three entire days.

When Han Li opened his eyes once more, he wore a disappointed face.

Although he made some gains from that battle, it wasn’t enough for him to break past his current bottleneck.

But he wasn’t too saddened.

Although he didn’t succeed this time, this illustrated life and death battles would be of great assistance in making a breakthrough. If he experienced several more desperate battles, he was bound to succeed.

After calming his heart, he arranged his belongings and left the cave.

Standing outside the cave, he paused in thought for a long while. He felt that the small beast was the ideal opponent for him. If he could fight it several more times, he may succeed in obtaining an epiphany.

Although he knew it would be dangerous, the restoration of his magic power was far more important.

His expression wavered for a long while before resolving himself to seek out that dangerous leopard.

When he left the valley, Han Li headed in the direction where the leopard is last seen, but he ended up greatly disappointed.

In a single breath, he swept through hundreds of kilometers in the surrounding mountain range, but he found no trace of the beast.

Helpless, Han Li could only depart from the mountains and find another suitable objective.

Over ten days later at the edge of a huge lake, there were a dozen variously dressed body refiners. They were surrounded by crimson snakes with a crest on their heads. The body refiners were using their spirit tools to their utmost extent while attacking the serpents.

The serpent’s attacks were separated into two types. There were those shooting a crimson venom mist, while the others were pouncing at the body refiners like darts.

The venom was tolerable enough as they had swallowed an antivenom beforehand, but they weren’t able to block the serpents’ direct attacks.

The serpents weren’t very large, but their bodies possessed considerable power. Despite the powerful spirit tools the body refiners wielded, they weren’t able to injure the serpents when they struck them.

As a result, the body refiners defended against the serpents many times before they felt their limbs grow heavy and slow.

In addition to these few serpents, there was also a giant serpent behind them.

The serpent appeared to be the group’s king. When it saw that its party had the advantage, it let out several hisses as if it were expressing satisfaction.

But suddenly, booms of lightning sounded from below the lake. Before the humans or the serpents could react, a large silver light flashed from below and countless arrows of light burst forth, felting the humans and serpents on the shore without discrimination.

“AH!” The body refiners could only scream, but they weren’t able to dodge, and the serpents were no better. The lot of them were turned into pincushions by the ice spikes.

Only the huge serpent at the back was quick enough to react. It suddenly bent its body and pounced thirty meters away, narrowly dodging the ice arrows.

But before the serpent landed, the earth beneath it burst. A silver hand shot out from the soil and grabbed the serpent by the neck.

In the serpent’s alarm, it turned like a spring and wound its head around to bite down on the hand.

But a clear ring sounded after the strike. The hand was unharmed and the serpent was in pain, blood trailing from its mouth.

The huge serpent’s teeth were completely shattered by the silver hand’s exceptional hardiness.

In pain, the serpent could only relax its mouth let go.

Another silver hand then strangely appeared nearby. It grabbed ahold of the serpents head and both hands exerted their stretch, pulling them apart. Left headless, the serpent’s body spouted in a fountain of blood.

The serpent corpse was then tossed to the ground.

At that moment, the dust eventually cleared and a silver man appeared, hidden by flickering sliver lights around his body.

At that moment, the ice from the lake moved, suddenly merging into a crystalline person a foot tall. It didn’t have any features of a man or a woman.

“Water Wraith! It’s you!” When the silver silhouette saw the ice woman, he suddenly spoke with a thunderous voice.

The ice person stirred and expressionlessly said, “What? Tie Ren, didn’t you come here to find me? Chi Mie should’ve come too. Call him out.”

“Hehe, there is no need to call for me. I’ll show myself.”

An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded and a ball of scarlet flame appeared near the silver silhouette. In the blink of an eye, he took the form of a man half a foot tall.

Flames still roiled from his entire body.





Chapter 1301: Spirit Tribe Reinforcements


"If I recall correctly, I don't share any ties with you two. The reason you two are seeking me out now must have something to do with that traitor, right?" the water man asked without making any effort to dabble in pleasantries.

"That's right. The two of us have already discovered where that traitor is hiding," the silver humanoid figure replied. Silver light flashed over his body, and he shrank drastically, reducing himself down to the same size as the fire man in the blink of an eye.

Ripples ran through the body of the water man as he stirred upon hearing this. "If you've already discovered his location, then why haven't you captured him? Could it be that you've encountered some issues?"

"When we got there, it was already too late. That traitor really is extremely alert; as soon as he sensed that something was amiss, he entered the Chaotic Vally before we could get to him and dove into the Scorching Light Pond within the valley. I'm sure there's no need for me to elaborate on how fearsome that pond is. You're the only one among use who possesses water-attribute abilities, Brother Water Wraith, so only you can enter the pond and capture the traitor," the fire man said in a solemn voice.

"The Scorching Light Pond? Why did you let him escape into that pond? Even I can't ensure that I won't be harmed after entering that pond." The water man's voice suddenly raised a few octaves, indicating that he was quite enraged by how things had played out.

"We didn't think that he would dive in there, either. We had a chance to cut him off before he could enter the pond, but a few beings from the demon race stepped in to obstruct us, and there was even a Black Phoenix Race cultivator among them," the silver humanoid figure replied in a rather gloomy voice.
