A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 2001-Chapter 2248)

A few moments later, the five-colored light vanished from the woman's face, and she released the winged devilish being's head, upon which the latter immediately slumped down onto the ground.

"So this is only a village on the outskirts of the Azure Wing Race. Looks like I'll have to go to some of the larger villages if I want to find some core Azure Wing beings. Before that, I'll inform Fellow Daoist Han of this," the woman murmured to herself with a contemplative look in her eyes.

Immediately thereafter, she made a grabbing motion with one hand, and a white formation plate appeared in her grasp. She quickly swiped a finger over the formation plate, then gently laid a palm over it.

A dull thump rang out as the formation plate exploded into a ball of white light, within which was a line of silver text that disappeared in a flash.

After that, the woman cast her gaze toward the two devilish beings on the ground, and a cold light flashed through her eyes.

......

Han Li was flying through the air when his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he flipped a hand over to produce an identical formation plate with the same silver text inscribed on its surface.

Han Li quickly glanced at the line of text before immediately changing directions in his flight.

Half a month later, Han Li and the woman from the Ye Family were standing on a branch of a massive tree situated at the edge of a small basin, which was surrounded by three mountains in a triangular formation. They were currently peering into a cloud of white mist between the mountains, which was releasing an indescribable fragrance.

"Are you sure that this is one of the four major villages of the Azure Wing Race, Fairy Ye?" Han Li suddenly asked.

"There's no mistaking it; this is definitely Incense Village. I used a soul search technique on two Azure Wing beings to secure the exact location of this village. Unfortunately, neither of them were all that powerful, so they didn't know much about this Incense Village. However, I'm sure there are core Azure Wing beings in a village of this scale. The problem is that some powerful restrictions have clearly been set up here, so it won't be easy to infiltrate the village," the woman from the Ye Family replied in a grim manner.

"This should be the right place judging from the fragrant aroma coming from the mist. As for a way to infiltrate the village, I have something up my sleeve, but we'll have to wait for the right opportunity to arise, so let's wait here for now," Han Li said with a confident smile.

The woman from the Ye Family was ecstatic to hear this. "That's great to hear, Brother Han. In that case, I'll be following your lead."

Han Li merely nodded and offered no response, but he suddenly cast his gaze toward a certain direction.

After a while, a giant flying snake that was over 100 feet in length appeared in the distant sky, and it was rapidly flying toward the mountain.

On the back of the flying snake were seven or eight Azure Wing beings, all of whom wore elated expressions.

This was a group of young men and women with the exception of the leader, who was an elderly man that was giving off a powerful aura.

"Alright, the opportunity has arrived," Han Li said in an unhurried manner as he rose to his feet while appraising the group of Azure Wing beings.

The woman from the Ye Family also stood up and turned to Han Li with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Instead of explaining anything, Han Li raised a hand to send an item flying toward the woman.

The woman from the Ye Family faltered slightly before reflexively catching the item to discover that it was a purple talisman.

Han Li then said in a calm voice, "Activate this talisman, and you should be able to sneak into the valley by following those Azure Wing beings. As long as there are no particularly special restrictions set up in this Incense Village, you'll be able to sneak in without any issues. However, take care not to unleash any abilities or the talisman will fail."

As soon as his voice trailed off, he flipped a hand over to produce an identical talisman before immediately adhering it to his own body.

A burst of purple light erupted forth right before the woman's astonished eyes, and countless silver runes surged forth in a frenzy, transforming into a cloud of silver mist that inundated Han Li's entire body.





Chapter 2083: Entering by Force


After the mist dispersed, Han Li was nowhere to be seen.

The woman from the Ye Family hurriedly swept her spiritual sense through the surrounding area, but was shocked to discover that she could no longer sense Han Li.

All of a sudden, Han Li's calm voice rang out in her ears. "There's no need to be alarmed, Fellow Daoist. Those Azure Wing beings are about to get here, so we have to make haste." Her heart stirred upon hearing this, and she immediately replicated what Han Li had just done.

Purple light flashed, a cloud of silver mist dispersed to conceal her entire body.

The High Zenith Invisibility Talisman naturally had completely different levels of efficacy when used by different people.

As a Body Integration cultivator using this talisman, she wouldn't be discovered unless a devilish lord of the same cultivation base in the Azure Wing Race were to carefully search for her using their spiritual sense.

As for Han Li, after using the High Zenith Invisibility Talisman, only the top devilish lords who were half a step away from becoming Sacred Ancestors would have a chance of discovering him.

At this point, the giant flying snake was already slowly descending toward the mist down below, and it stopped briefly in mid-air as the elderly man inspected the surrounding area, then made a hand seal to release a streak of green light that vanished into the mist in a flash.

Moments later, the aroma being released by the mist became several times more pronounced, and the mist parted to open up a path that was around 10 feet wide.

At the other end of the path, one could just barely make out a series of indistinct buildings, and the elderly devilish man immediately stomped a foot down onto the flying snake without any hesitation upon seeing this.

The flying snake hissed as its body rapidly shrank down amid a flash of azure light, following which it was stowed up the elderly man's sleeve.

The elderly man then turned to the younger devilish beings behind him and said something with a smile, then drifted into the opening in the mist.

The young devilish beings also followed along behind him with wide smiles on their faces.

The mist then surged as the path was slowly sealed.

Unbeknownst to the devilish beings guarding the restriction, two completely undetectable figures had tailed these young devilish beings into the opening in the mist.

Around two hours later, Han Li was hovering in the air above a black wooden pagoda that was over 1,000 feet tall. He was still concealed by his High Zenith Invisibility Talisman, and he was inspecting the massive village down below.

This village had an area of over 10,000 acres, and massive trees were growing between the three mountains, forming a natural barricade around the entire village.

These giant trees were all purple in color, and they were the source of the fragrant aroma stemming from this place.

Within the village were a series of wooden buildings of different sizes that could house over 100,000 devilish beings.

Considering the meager population of the Azure Wing Race, this was a very large settlement.

There were also some giant trees planted between the buildings in the village, concealing many of the smaller buildings, thereby creating a sense of privacy.

Blue light flashed within Han Li's eyes as he swept his gaze over the entire village, then settled his attention on a cluster of buildings that were releasing restriction fluctuations.

Some Azure Wing Race guards were patrolling the streets near these buildings, and none of the ordinary Azure Wing beings dared to approach them.

The blue light in Han Li's eyes faded as he drifted down from the wooden pagoda, then landed in an alley that was completely devoid of people.
