Chapter 1133: Volume 7 Across the Human World Chapter 1129 Divine Essencefused Light
 

“Whether he is a cultivator from Great Jin or not, since he was able to take away the Heavenvoid Cauldron, this person must also have quite the fortune. If it weren’t for our cultivation of Divine Essencefused Light, which repels the treasures of the Five Elements, and the fact that the Heavenvoid Map is useless to late-stage cultivators, preventing us late-stage cultivators from entering this hall, how could we let an outsider obtain this Spiritual Treasure!” The man said this, revealing a hint of regret.

“If Divine Essencefused Light were truly cultivated to great success, it could transform the power of the Five Elements for our own use, and we would not be unable to manipulate the artifacts of the Five Elements. It’s just that you and I were unlucky, and in the end, our efforts fell short.” Upon hearing this, the woman couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

“Yes, had I known this would happen, I wouldn’t have dragged you into cultivating this half-understood Divine Essencefused Light with me. Speaking of which, I really owe you an apology.” The man fell silent for a while, his voice carrying a tone of regret.

“It’s not your fault. Without looking for other shortcuts, we would never be able to advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage. It is indeed so, had it not been for that final mistake, you and I would have likely succeeded in advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage, and gained an extra thousand years of lifespan.” The woman shook her head dispassionately.

“Indeed, who would have thought that the last step in cultivating Divine Essencefused Light would require possession of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. But those who really possess such chaotic Spiritual Roots, let alone cultivating a Nascent Soul, might not even pass through Foundation Establishment and Core Formation. How would they qualify to cultivate Divine Essencefused Light? No wonder this cultivation technique was established early on, yet no one has truly succeeded in cultivating it. I, Ling Tianlei, have advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage in just five hundred years, and my cultivation talent is second to none among the former leaders of Star Palace, having even overcome the three great challenges claimed by Divine Essencefused Light. But I never expected to end up in such a plight. The ancient expert who created Divine Essencefused Light must have intentionally set this trap for later generations to fall into. I really don’t understand what his intentions were, as he never mentioned that achieving great success in this technique required such contradictory conditions. Otherwise, I would never have chosen to cultivate this technique in the first place.” The man became somewhat agitated as he spoke, clearly harboring extreme resentment towards the ancient expert who established Divine Essencefused Light.

The other woman also sighed deeply, only after a long while did she speak in a low voice:

“Let it be, whether this technique was a joke made by the ancient expert. But how can the spiritual roots of those who cultivate be easily changed? Luckily, we realized it early and stopped cultivating it in time, otherwise continuing to cultivate on Yuanci Mountain would have resulted in the simultaneous onset of the Five Elements power within us, likely causing our bodies to explode and die. Speaking of which, we should thank Six Paths and Wan Sangu; had they not forced us to come out early, we wouldn’t have discovered the anomaly in our bodies.”

“Hmph, Six Paths and Wan Sangu were merely underlings who were defeated by my hand, not worth mentioning at all. If it weren’t for the restrictions of Yuanci Mountain, I would have long killed my way to their lairs and wiped them out completely. And this problem…can also be changed!” The man snorted, and his voice became somewhat strange.

“What do you mean by that? Have you really found a way to change spiritual roots?” The originally calm woman suddenly became somewhat excited upon hearing this.

“Since discovering this problem, I have been poring over various ancient texts for the past hundred years looking for a solution. I also found an ancient secret technique that can be used, not exactly adding spiritual roots, but allowing a pure attribute treasure to be sacrificed through a blood sacrifice, enabling it to substitute for the missing Spiritual Roots to manipulate the power of the Five Elements.” The man paused before revealing.

“Just like that?” This time, it was the woman who expressed doubt.

“Of course, the process of the sacrifice and the choice of the treasure naturally have some intricacies, but these are not a problem for us. The key is, this method at most allows us to control one more Elemental power, but cannot perform a blood sacrifice on a second treasure. Otherwise, the Nascent Soul cannot withstand it, and the body will also collapse from the backlash. Unless our bodies were originally of Four Spiritual Roots, otherwise this method is still useless.” The man spoke with a hint of helplessness.

“So it is, this indeed has no effect for the two of us with heavenly spiritual roots.” After hearing this, the woman felt her heart sink, and the fleeting flicker of hope was once again extinguished.

“Let’s forget about achieving great success with Divine Essencefused Light. Even if there is some other solution, with less than a hundred years of our lifespans left, it will not be enough to resolve this issue. It is better to focus our efforts on Ling Yuling. After our reemergence, we have devoted all our efforts to her training, and she has consolidated her Nascent Soul as we wished. Let’s wait a few more decades, use the method of impartation, and forcibly help her break through to the mid-stage realm. In this way, she should barely be able to take over Star Palace later on. Of course, before that, we must eliminate the two calamities, Six Paths and Wan Sangu, for sure.” The woman’s voice suddenly became icy cold, her words filled with lethal intent.

“As long as we are willing to risk our lives, getting rid of these two is not a difficult task.” The man spoke nonchalantly.

“What about this cultivator surnamed Han? Since he possesses the Heavenvoid Cauldron and might also be a mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator, if we are no longer around, he could be a significant factor of instability in Scattered Stars Sea. But from the tone of Ling Yuling’s messages, she seems to have a good impression of this person.” The woman hesitated.

“Hmm! A mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator with such strong cultivation talent is indeed worth our effort to pull him to our side. See if he is willing to join our Star Palace? If willing, everything is easy to say. Secretly set restrictive formations, take the Heavenvoid Cauldron for Ling Yuling’s advancement to the mid-stage, and compensate him with some treasures. If not willing, we should take action to eliminate him, to avoid future troubles!” The man’s tone became exceedingly cold.

“That’s the only way!” The woman sighed softly and did not oppose.

“However, the tone symbol has already been destroyed once, so the other party may have noticed. Ordinary elders will probably not be able to handle him. It seems we will have to take action ourselves.” The man spoke lightly.

“Even possessing the Spiritual Treasure, he’s just a mid-stage cultivator. There’s no need for both of us to act. I alone am enough. Since we are out of the coverage of Yuanci Mountain, even if he were a late Nascent Soul cultivator, he is not my opponent at all.” The woman was excessively confident.

“Hmm, that works! Just be careful, the Heavenvoid Cauldron has been circulating in Scattered Stars Sea for so long, its power should not be underestimated.” The man did not oppose, but merely cautioned.

“As long as it is a treasure of the Five Elements, any power will be greatly reduced under Divine Essencefused Light. What is there for you to worry about?” The woman chuckled lightly.

This time, the man in the cave did not respond, evidently agreeing with the woman’s statement.

At this moment, Han Li was already in Heavenly Star City.

Heavenly Star City truly lived up to its reputation as the largest city in the Scattered Stars Sea; Han Li easily found the remaining materials he needed in the city market.

He also took the opportunity to sell several Daoist paper talismans that he did not need, in exchange for a large number of Spirit Stones, and then casually found an inn to stay in.

Since Ling Yuling already knew he possessed the Heavenvoid Cauldron, he naturally would not foolishly carry the token directly to the transportation formation on the Sage Mountain. He planned to wait until night to stealthily enter the Starry Sky Palace on the mountain.

As long as the Heavenly Star Sages personally guarding the transportation formation, he naturally would not take the cultivators guarding it seriously.

Of course, even if these legendary figures were to appear, whether they could stop him was another matter.

To avoid attracting attention, he intentionally chose a small inn, merely revealing his cultivation at the mid Core Formation stage, which naturally made the Qi Refinement Sect Master of the inn treat Han Li with the utmost respect. He immediately found the best single room available, fearing to offend this “senior.”

When it was the third watch of the night, Han Li quietly used his Escape Technique and slipped out of the inn without anyone noticing.

The location of the Starry Sky Palace was still fresh in Han Li’s memory; he quietly flew towards it, soaring over the great mountain.

Along the way, the patrolling cultivators he encountered were mostly of the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stages, and even the occasional one or two Core Formation cultivators did not catch Han Li’s eyes. As soon as he used his stealth secret technique, he was gone in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the fiftieth layer of Sage Mountain, and the grand palace appeared before Han Li’s eyes.

The passage of time had not left a trace on this great hall; everything was exactly as it had been in the past!

With a slight feeling of nostalgia, Han Li was about to break the restrictive formations with a secret technique and enter when suddenly, his expression changed, and his figure flickered, turning into a wisp of light smoke that dissipated and vanished above the palace.

After a while, from another direction at low altitude, several indistinct figures silently drifted from afar, each blending almost undetectably with the night. Without detailed scanning with spiritual sense, it was impossible to detect these people’s presence.

Such stealthy movements, could it be they are people from the Starfall Coalition!

Surprised, Han Li curiously observed these people’s every move.

The cultivation of these individuals was quite significant for ordinary cultivators: there were four at the Foundation Establishment stage and two at the Core Formation Stage, but there was also one low-level cultivator at the third or fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm. Each of their faces was obscured by a layer of grey, seemingly fearful of being recognized.

However, the two leading Core Formation cultivators clearly appeared male and female.

Seeing that there were no Nascent Soul experts among them, Han Li lost interest, too lazy to use his spiritual sense to scan these people’s true faces; he merely crossed his arms and hovered motionlessly in mid-air.

And in the blink of an eye, these people approached the gates of Starry Sky Palace, stopping suddenly.

One of the tall Core Formation cultivators suddenly flipped a hand, and a palm-sized green Array Plate appeared. With a gentle flick of an incantation, the Array Plate flashed with spiritual light, emitting a faint white glow.

The other slender Core Formation female simultaneously flipped her hand, and suddenly produced a yellowish small triangular flag. With a flick of the flag, a whirl of yellow mist burst forth rapidly, quickly engulfing the nearby people and then, in a flash, both the mist and the individuals vanished.

Upon seeing that yellowish formation flags Magic Artifact, Han Li was slightly startled; a look of surprise flickered across his eyes.
