A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1601-Chapter 1800)

How peculiar!

Han Li was rather hesitant as he glanced at the nine armored puppets, then up at the golden ball of light in the sky. He then turned his attention back to the starry sky diagram and the green taishi chair as he carefully read through the incantation in his mind.

He stroked his chin, and a contemplative look appeared on his face as he formed a rough judgment.

All of a sudden, he made a hand seal, and bright golden light erupted from his body. Golden scales also appeared over the surface of his skin, and he activated his Provenance True Devil Arts once again.

Immediately thereafter, he let loose a low cry, and a golden figure emerged from behind him, then transformed into the golden body projection in a flash.

Han Li then laid a hand onto the top of his own head, and a streak of black light flew forth before vanishing into the golden body. That was none other than his second Nascent Soul, Little Black.

As soon as the Nascent Soul entered the golden body, one of the clear faces on the three heads abruptly attained a pair of intelligent inky-black eyes that were identical to those of a normal person.

A flash of golden light then appeared, following which the fiendcelestial-like golden body drifted down onto the ground before landing in front of Han Li.

A faint smile appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this, and his body blurred before he vanished on the spot.

In the next instant, a figure abruptly appeared in the air around 300 feet away from the tall platform. It was none other than Han Li, and he was hovering in a stationary manner with his hands clasped behind his back.

He had already discovered that as soon as he entered the space within the screen, the flight restrictions had disappeared. That was why he was able to rise up into the air to appraise everything that was transpiring on the platform.

He issued an instruction to his second Nascent Soul, and the golden body suddenly made hand seals with all six of its hands at once. A profound incantation was then uttered by the head with the pair of intelligent black eyes.

The incantation was uttered very slowly, but every single syllable was pronounced in a very clear manner, and this was none other than the beveled silver text incantation that had appeared on the taishi chair. A mere activation incantation naturally wasn't going to stump a Spatial Tempering Stage being like him. However, here in this strange space, he didn't dare to use his true body to activate this nameless incantation.

However, he could do so using his second Nascent Soul and his golden body, and that combination was far better able to defend itself in the face of danger than he was.

Furthermore, using his second Nascent Soul to utter this incantation definitely produced an identical effect to uttering this incantation himself, so this was naturally the perfect substitute.

The incantation continued, and in the blink of an eye, the second Nascent Soul had already completed the entire incantation. However, no changes had appeared on the stone platform.

The golden body stood silently on the platform in a completely expressionless and stationary manner.

Han Li's eyelids twitched slightly upon seeing this, and a hint of confusion flashed through his eyes.

However, after a brief moment of contemplation, he immediately instructed the second Nascent Soul to utter the incantation a second time.

Thus, after around 10 minutes, the second Nascent Soul had uttered the incantation through the golden body three times in succession.

However, after the third time the incantation was completed, the nine silver armored puppets and the golden ball of light up above still didn't display any changes, as if the incantation had had no effect at all.





Chapter 1724: Pillar of Light


Han Li's eyes flashed, and a serious look appeared on his face as he appraised the green chair on the platform.

"Could it be that the person uttering the incantation has to sit on the chair for it to work? I wonder if this is a risk that's worth taking." A hesitant look appeared in Han Li's eyes.

This place had been concealed in such a mysterious place, so it definitely harbored quite an important secret. This was something that even an immortal clearly held in very high regard; how could he be willing to leave without exploring everything to the best of his abilities?

However, the illusionary formation in the starry sky diagram had been so fearsome that it naturally made him very cautious about getting his golden body to sit on the chair at the center of the diagram.

"So be it, risk and reward have always come hand in hand. Generally speaking, the greater the risk, the greater the reward; I've already successfully manifested a golden body, so I'll just have to get my second Nascent Soul to take a risk. If I miss out on this opportunity, there's no way that I'll encounter any other immortal ruins in the Spirit Realm."

After contemplating this conundrum for a long while, a determined look finally appeared on Han Li's face. He had always been prone to erring on the side of caution, but in the face of the massive temptation presented by this treasure left behind by an immortal, even he was convinced to take a risk.

Almost at the exact same moment, a peculiar light flashed through the golden body's black eyes, and it immediately strode toward the chair.

Moments later, the huge golden body stopped in front of the green chair, and it seemed to be rather hesitant as it was too massive to sit in the chair. Thus, it immediately made a hand seal, and it quickly shrank down amid a flash of golden light, reducing itself to around 10 feet tall compared to its original 20 feet stature.

Only then did it take a seat on the chair and lay its arms on the armrests before uttering the incantation again.

On this occasion, changes began to occur around the golden body as soon as it began to utter the incantation.

Green light suddenly flashed from the chair that it was sitting on, and a series of silver runes surfaced before revolving around the golden body.

As the incantation grew louder and more fervent, specks of five-colored spiritual light also began to appear in the air above the platform. More and more specks of spiritual light began to gather, and it was as if there were countless five-colored snowflakes fluttering through the air, creating quite a spectacular sight to behold.

Han Li's heart stirred as he looked on at the scenes unfolding on the platform with an intense unblinking gaze.

Almost right after the five-colored specks of light began to appear, golden, silver, and white light abruptly emerged from the massive starry sky diagram on the platform.

The sun, moon, and stars flashed before exploding into spiritual light of three different colors. Spiritual light surged once again before instantly forming a beveled silver rune, a golden seal rune, and another rune in a white text that he had never seen before. The runes formed a peculiar light formation that enshrouded the entire platform within.

The nine silver armored puppets and the golden body projection were situated right at the core and other vital locations within the light formation, and an indistinct yet profound connection seemed to have been forged between them.

A peculiar light flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this, but he didn't take any additional measures.

The second Nascent Soul had already reached the final few sentences of its incantation, and azure light flashed through the eyes of the nine puppets as they finally sprang into action.

All of the puppets suddenly shifted a half-step either forward or backward from their original location, and it wasn't a massive change at all, but a burst of restriction fluctuations were suddenly triggered. The fluctuations resonated with the light formation, and the scenes unfolding within the formation instantly changed.
