A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 401-Chapter 600)

Han Li suddenly turned his head to look at her and calmly asked, “Are my actions strange?”


After some hesitation, she truthfully said, “Somewhat.”

Han Li gently smiled and unhurriedly said, “I buried him merely because I felt that as a fellow cultivator, there will come a time where I will unknowingly fall and become a pile of bones. Since I’ve come across someone else’s, I may as well lend a hand. I hope that when I fall to misfortune, there will also be someone that will come across my body and bury me. As for his refined robes, the dead have no use for such objects. It would be far too great a pity if they were to be buried. I may as well regard them as compensation for burying the body!”

Fairy Violet Spirit’s amazement faded away before she started to murmur to herself.

At that moment, Han Li started to continue his path forward.

When Fairy Violet Spirit saw this, she looked at the new burial mound and sighed before slowly following after him.

“Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit, how much do you know about the history of the Heavenvoid hall? Could you tell me about it?” As Han Li had waited for her, they were now leisurely walking side by side.

She felt a slightly complicated emotion from seeing Han Li’s calm expression. He was only an early Core formation cultivator yet he still appeared so calm in such a dangerous area. How truly unexpected. However, this had also greatly calmed her heart as she felt that Han Li could be relied upon.

Han Li’s question had startled her for a moment before she obediently replied, “The Heavenvoid Hall has existed in the Scattered Star Seas for countless years. It is only known to open every three hundred years. It will randomly descend at some remote, deserted location in the Scattered Star Seas and is filled with many treasures. Regardless of whether it be spirit medicines, cultivation techniques, or ancient treasures, all can be found here as a result of cultivators from the desolate era building this mysterious hall for unknown reasons. Thus, whenever the hall is opened, many high grade cultivators would come here in search of treasures.”

“However, the Heavenvoid Hall’s mechanisms are densely layered in formation spells. As one grows closer to the core of the inner halls, the more treasures one encounters but the greater the danger. It is said that the items in the inner hall are the Heavenvoid Hall’s true treasures. However, to come across them, one must pass through three great trials. Otherwise, there will be no chance of arriving there. Apart from Nascent Soul cultivators, only a small number of fortunate cultivators are able to pass through without injury. As a result, the inner halls have become a great mystery towards ordinary cultivators.

As Fairy Violet Spirit spoke with her beautiful voice, she carefully watched Han Li’s expression. However, she was slightly disappointed to see that Han Li’s expression didn’t change, causing her to feel that Han Li was somewhat unfathomable.

“While the Heavenvoid Hall has many treasures, shouldn’t there be fewer with each opening?” Han Li indifferently asked.

“That is quite unclear, but the Heavenvoid Hall is opened for only a finite time. Each of its treasures conceal countless secrets. Not a single treasure is a simple item, and their numbers remain many! It is said that anyone that acquires one or two treasures from here are considered quite fortunate. Normally, cultivators end up only picking a few common spiritual herbs. It depends quite a bit on one’s own luck. If there were not the case, the inner halls would’ve long been swept clean by Nascent Soul cultivators.” Fairy Violet Spirit spoke with uncertainty.

Han Li nodded with a stirred expression and remained silent. He slightly hastened his steps.

The two continued to follow the black-robed man’s trail. After walking for the time it took to finish a meal, nothing strange had occurred. Fairy Violet Spirit had somewhat relaxed as a result. She had come to think that these malicious spirits had traveled a different path than their own, resulting in a lack of encounters.

As these thoughts bloomed in Fairy Violet Spirit’s mind, Han Li frowned, and he came to an abrupt stop.

Fairy Violet Spirit was suddenly alarmed and also stood still. She asked with worry, “What’s wrong?” Soon after, she swept her spiritual sense past the nearby area, but she found nothing.

With a strange expression flickering through his eyes, Han Li coldly said, “That black-robed man encountered the demon ghost. They are currently fighting.”

After some hesitation, Fairy Violet Spirit said, “What will we do? Should we go help, or should we take advantage of the opportunity and slip past them?”

Han Li looked at the woman and knew that she most likely preferred the latter choice, wanting to slip past them. This choice couldn’t be considered incorrect. If they weren’t in the middle of the ghost mist, Han Li would’ve done the same without a second thought.

But now....

Han Li shook his head and sighed before walking forward in large strides.

When Fairy Violet Fairy saw this, she was stunned for a moment. After some slight consideration, she decided to follow after him.

As she followed a hundred meters behind him, she faintly heard the sounds of explosions caused from magic techniques and soft sobs. The voice seemed to be that of a woman. Her voice was muffled, shrieking, and seemed to be on the verge of breaking, causing those who heard it to feel extremely on edge and restless.

Although she could only faintly hear it, she felt anxious and greatly desired to run away. Fairy Violet Spirit was startled to have felt this and used a technique to stabilize her primal soul before daring to wipe away the cold sweat on her chin and raise her head.

By the time she looked up, she could no longer see Han Li.

Fairy Violet Spirit hesitated for a moment before clenching her teeth and walked forward with a solemn expression. After travelling for a short distance, she unexpectedly caught sight of Han Li’s solemn silhouette standing still with his hands behind his back.

The woman felt delighted and hastily ran over to him. But before she neared him, she suddenly heard a loud ghostly sob that left her dazed. Her limbs began frantically waving around without any control.

The woman’s terror drained the blood from her face!





Chapter 440: Ghost King (2)


“Ghostly Soul Snare!”

Fairy Violet Spirit instantly recognized the ghost technique she was suffering from.

This magic technique was innate to high grade demon ghosts and was used to attack weaker enemies. Enemies of lower cultivation would have their blood run rampant, and they would madly dance about without any control of their limbs. What a fearsome damaging Yin ghost technique!

When she had originally heard the sound, she had regarded it as a common ghost’s howl and was now paying the price. Fairy Violet Spirit felt terrified upon seeing her body wildly flitter towards the ghost’s sobs.

“Tai!” At that moment, she heard a man’s voice. Although the voice wasn’t loud, she felt her heart and soul tremble, causing her to collapse onto the floor with weakened legs.

She soon discovered with delight that she had regained control of her body. Her heart relaxed and she looked in front of her with a grateful expression where Han Li, the source of the voice, stood.

“Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit! Use your cultivation to guard your mind! You were careless, but you cannot allow the ghost wail to take advantage of your distraction.” The woman heard Han Li’s calm voice in her ear.

“Yes,” Fairy Violet Spirit blushed and softly replied. She then stood from the floor with slight embarrassment and walked towards Han Li with a guarded mind.
