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

In the next instant, an earth-shattering boom erupted as the Fire Raven self-detonated, sending countless thin threads of flames hurtling forth in all directions.

All of the balls of green liquid in the air were instantly punctured by their fire threads before erupting into flames.

All of the poison attacks were eradicated in the blink of an eye, and the grey light barrier, which had already been severely ravaged, quickly recovered to its former state amid a flash of grey light.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Li also finally sprang into action. He pointed his 10 fingers forward in rapid succession, and bursts of azure light flashed as the azure flying swords that had already vanished suddenly reappeared.

All of them then transformed into lethal sword Qi again before hurtling forth in all directions.

The Flying Rainbow Fish were still relentlessly blasting forth balls of green poison, but the countless white fire threads in the air completely nullified this threat.

Without the impediment posed by the poisonous liquid, the hundreds of streaks of sword Qi were completely unstoppable. The more powerful Flying Rainbow Fish could still survive for an attack or two, but the low-grade Flying Rainbow Fish were quickly hacked into one dismembered carcass after another.

Thus, with the combination of the fire threads and sword Qi, all of the Flying Rainbow, of which there had been around 40,000 to 50,000, were slain by Han Li.

When he waved a hand through the air to withdraw his swords and Fire Raven, the surrounding air was already completely empty. However, as he cast his gaze down below, he was rather taken aback to find that aside from the dismembered carcasses of the Flying Rainbow Fish, there were also many other dead fish that had floated to the surface with their bellies facing the heavens.

The nearby surface of the lake was entirely filled with white fish bellies, creating an extremely peculiar sight to behold.

Han Li inspected the slightly green water of the lake, and he immediately realized why this had happened.

Most of the poison expelled by the Flying Rainbow Fish had been eradicated by the Golden Crow True Flames, but a lot of it had been repelled earlier and fell into the lake down below, thereby killing a large number of nearby fish.

Even though he was already somewhat aware of how potent this poison was, the scenes on the lake were still quite harrowing for him to behold.

If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated the Spirit Engulfing True Flames, he definitely wouldn't have been able to take care of these fish so easily. He would've most likely had to release his Gold Devouring Beetles at the expense of his spiritual sense or use his Profound Heavenly blade segment again, both of which would've severely weakened him.

As such, he was naturally reluctant to adopt those methods unless he had to.

A contemplative look appeared in Han Li's eyes, and he suddenly swept a sleeve downward to release a ball of white light, which transformed into an adorable little girl in a flash.

"Qu'er pays her respects to her master! What are your instructions, Master?"

As soon as Qu'er appeared, she extended a curtsey toward Han Li with a wide smile on her face.

"Go and extract the inner cores out of the heads of all of those fish; I made sure to preserve their heads when I killed them earlier. Come and find me on the island once you're done," Han Li instructed.

"Yes!"

Qu'er immediately nodded before raising a hand, upon which countless thin blades surged forth from her back, then hurtled down toward the surface of the lake.

Qu'er herself also began to slowly drift down toward the lake while Han Li flew toward the island in the distance as a streak of azure light.

A short while later, the azure light faded, and Han Li appeared above the tall grey mountain.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he cast his gaze toward the mountain, and only after a long while did he abruptly flip a hand over to produce a shimmering golden disc.

This was a treasure that had been given to him by the Stone Cocoon Race prior to his journey, and he raised an eyebrow as he opened his mouth to expel a ball of azure Qi onto the disc.

The azure Qi vanished into the disc in a flash, following which he raised his other hand and cast a white incantation seal onto the treasure as well.

A startling turn of events immediately unfolded.

The golden disc flashed with golden light and emitted a loud ringing sound while releasing a series of silver runes.

The disc then shuddered before escaping Han Li's grasp and hurtling toward the mountain down below as a ball of golden light.

The ball of golden light then abruptly exploded amid a dull thump, and the silver runes it had released flew toward all parts of the mountain.

Silver light flashed, and the runes vanished into the mountain face before rapidly traversing through the belly of the mountain.

Han Li hovered patiently in mid-air in a completely expressionless manner.

Around 10 minutes later, the disc down below suddenly emitted a ringing sound, following which it began to glow with scintillating golden light.

Han Li raised an eyebrow upon seeing this before raising a hand, and the disc shuddered before flying upward, appearing over his palm in the blink of an eye.

Han Li glanced at the disc to find that a ball of piercing light had appeared over its surface.

Azure light then flashed from his body as he immediately flew toward the mountain down below, then vanished into it before flying through the belly of the mountain at an incredible speed.

Moments later, light appeared up ahead, and a giant cave emerged down below. There was a silver head-sized ball of light that was hovering at the center of the cave in a completely stationary manner, and it had been formed by the silver runes that had been released by the golden disc earlier.

The azure light faded, and Han Li appeared within the cave. He quickly looked around to discover that there were several winding passageways connected to this cave, and his expression changed slightly before he strode toward one of the passageways.

The inside of the passageway was completely devoid of light, so much so that he couldn't even see his own fingers. However, he then raised a hand, and several white crystals flew out of his sleeve before revolving around his head, illuminating the passageway so that it was as bright as day.

After only making his way through a small section of the passageway, Han Li released his spiritual sense toward the bumpy surface of the stone walls around him.

Moments later, his footsteps faltered, and he opened his mouth again to expel a burst of azure light onto the stone wall.

The stone wall was sliced apart like tofu by the sharp streak of sword Qi, and a cave with a diameter of several feet was quickly carved into the stone wall.

"Clang!"

A strange sound rang out from within the dark cave, and it was particularly audible in this narrow passageway.

A hint of elation appeared on Han Li's face upon hearing this sound, and he made a hand seal before pointing into the cave.

A small azure sword shot forth, puncturing through an unknown piece of purplish-black ore.

"This really is the place. There's quite a bit of this ore here; it'll take me a few days if I want to excavate all of it." Han Li raised his hand to withdraw the flying sword before catching the piece of ore in his hand and giving it a thorough inspection.

He naturally wasn't going to remain here and mine the ore himself. He swept a hand over his storage bracelet, and several balls of spiritual light shot forth before revealing themselves to be several puppets of different sizes and forms.

These puppets were all ones that he had refined in the human world, so they were of an extremely low caliber, but they were more than capable of acting as miners.
