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

The sword was her personally bonded magic treasure. If it was destroyed, she would suffer backlash from her mental bond with it.

She was executing spell seals in utmost haste to free it, but despite its violent trembling and the series of white icy Qi, the giant kept its grip steady.

The giant took a deep breath. Just as it was about to press down, space fluctuated nearby. A dense beam of black light struck the giant’s chest.

In a baffling display, the attack seemed trivially small compared to its giant body, but its tumble several steps back.

The black beam of light only appeared for an instant, and from where it appeared followed a silver flame bird. The fist-sized bird dived at the giant with its wings spread.

Again, the difference in size was incredible, but it stepped back with a fearful expression upon seeing it. Rather than standing firm, it immediately turned around in a mad run.

The giant only took two steps before a sharp wind sounded from below the nearby ground. A dozen red threads flew out and surrounded the giant’s step. Red light glowed, turning into dense flaming ropes holding down the giant’s legs.

No longer able to move forward, the giant swiped down in furious alarm, wanting to break the flame ropes.

The silver flame bird never gave it the chance. It swooped forward at lightning speed and struck the giant’s back as a ball of silver flames.

A muffled crackle snapped, and silver fire spread as the giant was covered in oil. It spread quickly and lit it ablaze.

Yet unable to free itself, the giant could only scream in pain and swept yellow winds around itself, trying to extinguish the flames.

When yellow wind and silver flames touched one another, the wind itself seemed to be lit up. In only a few short breathes, the giant was thoroughly enveloped by both flames and ignited winds.

Soon, the screams stopped and the giant fell onto the ground. The body had been burned to a crisp, leaving no trace of the giant’s existence.

The black beam of light had unexpectedly appeared afterwards and arrived where the giant once was. The entire scene was witnessed by the squad of cultivators.

Although Han Li already used his Spirit Engulfing Flames once before on the sharp worms, it hadn’t been in a display as fearsome as this. Now that the cultivators had seen it used on the helpless beastman, they were all mesmerized with disbelief on their faces.

At that moment, Han Li blurred, arriving above the silver flames and beckoning to it.

The silver flames suddenly condensed into a ball and returned back to him in the form of a firebird. As for the fire ropes, they returned into his sleeve in read threads.

Han Li swept his sights to the transparent beast being suppressed by the Divine Essensefused Mountain, and said, “Take back the Savage Beastman and have the Foreign Spirit Hall deal with it when we go back to the city.”

“Yes! Junior Ma will immediately retrieve it!” The heart of the large green-eyed man trembled and he acknowledged the command. Then with a flip of his hand, he released a white gourd.

The gourd was inscribed with large quantities of silver runes. It is a specially refined magic tool meant for temporarily detaining foreign beings.

Regardless of the tribe of their many abilities, so long as they aren’t at true spirit grade, they can be captured by the gourd.

Of course, the beastman had now lost its strength and was completely motionless. It no longer put up a resistance.





Chapter 1333: Deep Heaven Market


When the green-eyed man arrived near the Essensefused Mountain, he held out the gourd to the transparent beast underneath.

With a light toss, the gourd spouted out a silver mist in midair, and the mist circled around the huge mountain. It suddenly turned into giant silver characters, entering the body of the huge beast in an instant.

As silver light enveloped the entire monster, its figure quickly shrunk to the size of a fist.

But strangely enough, the Essensefused Mountain shrunk at the same speed as the transparent beast, denying the beast any chance of escape.

The gourd then released another wave of silver mist that enveloped the shrunken beast.

Meanwhile, Han Li pointed from far away and the small black mountain slowly rose into the air, allowing the beast to be absorbed in the gourd.

The green-eyed man hastily put a lid on the gourd and stuck a golden talisman on top of it, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

The others had already withdrawn their magic tools and landed on the ground. But when they looked at Han Li, it was with newfound respect.

The recent battle clearly displayed that their squad leader possessed unfathomably profound abilities. He was by no means an ordinary Deity Transformation-stage cultivator.

While they were overjoyed by this, they also felt a degree of awe.

“Take another moment to rest before we continue.”

Having taken the mountain back into his sleeve, he simply gave the squad a short word. He walked aloofly to the side and sat down with his eyes closed.

Naturally, none of the others raised any objections. They also spread out and took a moment of rest to recover their magic power.

Fairy Xu, however, remained standing.

After some brief hesitation, she walked over to Han Li and curtsied, “Many thanks for Senior’s assistance. My Ice Crystal Sword would’ve been destroyed otherwise.”

Han Li opened his eyes and gave the woman a probing glance, “An Ice Crystal Sword? You must’ve refined it from Myriad Year Profound Jade.”

Fairy Xu’s heart trembled, “Senior has great wisdom. The primary material in my sword refinement is profound jade!”

Han Li slowly asked with a flicker of his eye, “Since you use a sword of extreme cold, your cultivation art must also be ice-attributed. Can I ask if you know a person?”

“Please go ahead, Senior!” After a brief pause, Fairy Xu immediately agreed.

Han Li stared at her twinkling iris and continued in sound transmission, “There was an ancient cultivator by the name of Fairy Ice Soul. She was an ascended cultivator who practiced techniques of extreme cold. Do you know this person?”

When he looked at the woman, he felt an air of familiarity. Upon closer inspection, he found that her eyes appeared to be the same as Fairy Ice Soul’s image during the opening of the Spirit Void Hall in the North Night Palace. There was a striking resemblance.

Although it was only an image, Fairy Ice Soul’s irises were flowing with light like twinkling stars. The remarkable sight had left a deep impression on his memory.

Now that he saw the woman cultivated ice-attributed techniques and used a treasure refined from profound jade, he decided to ask her out of curiosity.

“Fairy Ice Soul? That was a deceased ancestor of my Xu Clan! Did Senior know her? Could it be Senior also came from the same lower realm!?” Fairy Xu quickly replied in voice transmission with complete shock.

“Hehe, I definitely didn’t know her, but I did benefit from what she left behind in my lower realm.” Brushing the rest off with a laugh, he asked, “Hm... Why isn’t your flying sword completely refined from Myriad Year Profound Jade? Its magic power would’ve been raised by at least another half.”

Shocked at Han Li’s connection with her ancestor, she soon recovered and replied, “Senior must be joking. The Myriad Year Profound Jade might not be as valuable as the top-grade materials found in the wildlands, but it is still very difficult to collect. The profound jade in my flying sword was all purchased at extravagant cost.”

Han Li ran through his thoughts and said, “So that’s the case. I happen to have some Myriad Year Profound Jade on hand. It’s enough for you to fully refine the flying sword. Since Fairy Xu has a connection to Fairy Ice Soul, I’ll give it to you. This can be considered as returning the favor!” He swiped his hand through his storage bracelet and summoned a footlong jade box into his hand before handing it over to her.
