A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 801-Chapter 1000)

“Fellow Daoist Han is far too modest.” The young woman brushed away the hair covering her face in an elegant motion and wore a mysterious coquettish smile as she spoke. “I suppose I’ll drop that subject, but don’t tell me that escaping from a Moulan Divine Sage and slaying a Jin Empire Devil Sect Elder were just rumors! I heard that the Jin Empire devil cultivator was at the peak of mid Nascent Soul stage. Is this true?”


As Han Li’s gaze wandered, the woman swept her sleeve and released a flowery fragrance in Han Li’s expression. When he smelled it, he felt his mind relax and felt intimately close to the woman. He couldn’t help but want to answer her question.

‘Bewitchments techniques? But there were no signs; her eyes were clear. But her flowery fragrance does seem odd.’

Before Han Li condensed a Nascent Soul, he encountered several female cultivators that were proficient in bewitchment techniques. In nearly an instant, he discovered something odd about himself and detected the woman’s hidden tricks. However, her calm spiritual Qi fluctuations indicated that this was the result of the odd fragrance.

“Fellow Daoist Brighscent knows quite a bit. Those two events were simply a matter of luck and aren’t worth mentioning. However, I’ve heard a bit about Fellow Daoist Brightscent from my martial brothers as well. I heard that you cultivated the Hundredbloom Yangspring Arts, an intangible technique that can subdue enemies with inconceivable might.”

“What?” Brightscent’s smile froze. “Fellow Daoist Cheng know about the might of the Hundredbloom Yangspring Arts?” Although many knew about her cultivation art, few people knew of its true abilities and scarcely anyone was able to cultivate it.

Han Li smiled, but just as he thought about what to say, his expression changed and he suddenly raised his head to the sky. The woman saw Han Li and followed his stare, but all she saw was clear skies.

The woman frowned and looked at Han Li with a trace of bafflement.

However, Han Li wasn’t paying the woman any attention. Rather, his expression only grew more stern. In an instant, he turned his head to Eccentric Pyre and loudly yelled, “Fellow Daoist Pyre, I fear that someone has come to visit. Let’s go out and welcome them.”

The others hastily looked around with astonishment. Eccentric Pyre appeared particularly baffled as he turned his head. “A guest? Who is it?”

Han Li sighed. But before he could said anything, Eccentric Jin’s expression changed and his gaze turned to where Han Li originally looked. He nervously said, “There is someone that is coming and from his powerful spiritual Qi fluctuations, they... they should be a late Nascent Soul cultivator.”

When Eccentric Jin finished speaking, a deep and clear voice soon shook the skies, “The Great Truth Sect’s Master Sunreach has come to pay a visit. Is Fellow Daoist Pyre here?”

“So it is Master Sunreach? Why has such an important person come here?” Eccentric Pyre and the others glanced at each other with alarm, not knowing why one of the three Great Heavenly South cultivators have arrived. None of the three sects had invited him.

Han Li rubbed his chin and wore a pensive expression.

The Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Righteous Dao didn’t have a good relationship by any means, but Master Sunreach shouldn’t hold any ill intent for this visit as he hadn’t concealed his presence when he had arrived. This had allowed Han Li to easily sense him from a distance.

“Let’s go and welcome Fellow Daoist Sunreach!” Eccentric Pyre took the lead and quickly flew forward.

The others raised no objection as they didn’t believe Master Sunreach meant them any harm. As powerful as he may be, he would find it difficult to take them all on.

The elders weren’t able to further attend the master recognition ceremony and they all emerged from the light barrier and made their way to the border of the sect’s great formation.

Along the way, Han Li sensed that Brightscent seemed to be very interested in him and would occasionally steal a glance at him. Han Li inwardly snorted as a result. If the woman kept looking for trouble, he didn’t mind teaching her a lesson.

When they arrived at the grand formation, Eccentric Pyre and his two junior martial brothers opened a passage through the restriction, allowing a streak of light to fly in. The light faded away to reveal a middle-aged Daoist priest possessing an otherworldly presence.

As Han Li saw his flawless appearance and the longsword he wore on his back, it was obvious at a glance that he was Master Sunreach.

When Master Sunreach appeared, all the present cultivators saluted him, but he quickly swept his gaze past them before focusing on Han Li.

Master Sunreach grinned and called out to him with a chuckle, “Fellow Daoist Han is here as expected. Just after I left my sect, I acquired information that you were visiting the Hundred Possibilities Pavilion and rushed over here.”

“What? Master Sunreach has come to find me?” Han Li pursed his lips and wore an odd expression.

“That’s right!” Master Sunreach said with a smile, “This humble Daoist had pressing matters to attend to in the State of Xi but I didn’t think I’d hear that Brother Han has made a safe return. As soon as I heard this, I rushed over to have a chat.”

“It seemed when I was looking for information at few market cities, there were people that recognized me. But surely Fellow Daoist Sunreach didn’t rush to seek me out just to chat?” Han Li puzzlingly asked.

“The matter will take some time to explain.” Master Sunreach let out a long sigh before wearing a friendly face. He then said with a courteous tone, “Fellow Daoists, Fellow Daoist Han and I have a few matters to talk about. I hope you won’t mind.”

Eccentric Pyre forced a smile and said, “Since Brother Sunreach has come to see Fellow Daoist Han, there is no problem of course. We’ll simply wait at the side.”





Chapter 869: Sunreach’s Invitation


Against one of the three greatest cultivators in the Heavenly South, even the arrogant Eccentric Jin couldn’t utter his complaints. Naturally, Eccentric Pyre didn’t wish to offend him either and he called out for the other cultivators to descend to the ground.

Senior Martial Brother Cheng and Lu Luo exchanged a glance before a trace of confusion appeared on their faces. But given that the former had once witnessed Han Li’s abilities before, he felt no worry for Han Li and promptly descended.

Han Li looked at the cultivators that had landed on the ground before turning to Master Sunreach, “What does Brother Sunreach want to talk about? From how serious you appear, I am rather interested.”

Master Sunreach casually waved his hand, creating a soundproof barrier around them. Then after examining Han Li, he chuckled and said, “Before I talk about the matter, I must thank Fellow Daoist Han for dealing with the original soul of the Elder Devil in Devilfall Valley. If the two devil souls combined, I fear the entire Heavenly South would’ve been put at risk.”

Han Li smiled in response and asked, “Does Fellow Daoist Sunreach wish to ask about the whereabouts of the Elder Devil’s original soul?”

Master Sunreach was stunned for a moment but he quickly regained his composure, saying, “Fellow Daoist Han is truly intelligent. Yes, that was precisely one of the things I wanted to ask.”

“Master Sunreach doesn’t have to worry about it,” Han Li quickly replied, “Through a matter of luck, the original soul of the Elder Devil was cleanly exterminated inside the spatial pocket.”

Master Sunreach let out a long sigh and said, “Then I am relieved. The soul fragment should’ve sensed that the original soul had perished and from the punishment it received in this land, it shouldn’t be returning.”

After hearing this, Han Li curiously asked with a tone of doubt, “Brother Sunreach, the soul fragment occupying the devil body was so powerful that even three late Nascent Soul cultivators weren’t able to slay it?”

“Didn’t Fellow Daoist already experience the true might of the Elder Devil’s abilities?”
