Chapter 567 – The Heavenly Omen
”In two hours, it will be the moment when the yin qi is at its peak during the day, and that’s when I’ll start casting the Soul Restoration Technique. The entire process of casting the spell will last roughly two to three days, and during that time, everything will be troublesome for Brother Han.” Yuan Yao looked at the time of day before looking back with a pretty face and said sincerely to Han Li.
Han Li nodded, and after looking around the valley, he asked with a frown, “There doesn’t seem to be any spell formations laid out here to cover it except for an illusion formation, so in case a strong enemy comes at that time, and I’m too distracted to do anything, won’t you be in danger?”
”Of course Yuan Yao knows this! But there’s not much in hand in the way of highly skillful array formation apparatus, and there’s no room for adequate preparation in terms of time, so I can only take a risk on this.” Yuan Yao bit her red lips, and a few points of helplessness first appeared in her jade face.
”In that case, let’s leave the formation matter to Mister Han! I still have a few good sets of array formation implements here, and although I can’t talk about them being incredibly powerful, they can still be put to some use, and it’s better than not having any protection at all.” Hearing Yuan Yao’s words, Han Li clasped his hands over his shoulders and said with a touch of his chin.
He could also be considered a good person to the end!
”Brother Han is also proficient in the way of formations! If that’s truly the case, Yuan Yao will naturally feel much more at ease when casting the spell. I’ll be grateful to Brother Han then!” Yuan Yao’s beautiful eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this.
Han Li did not say anything else with a faint smile as he rose up into the air to a high altitude and looked at the terrain near the valley.
A moment later, he had an idea in his mind and slowly dropped down, “There isn’t much time left, so I, Han, will start laying the formation now!”
After saying this, Han Li waved both his hands, and a dozen tall giant ape puppets appeared on both sides. Feeling out a few sets of formation laying implements from his storage bag, he distributed them to these puppets one by one, then he stood in place and commanded these giant apes with his divine thoughts, laying them out around the valley.
Yuan Yao somewhat curiously looked at the movements of these giant ape puppets for a few moments, but soon averted her gaze and began to busy herself.
The Soul Restoration Technique was not trivial! Some meticulous preparations still needed to be made before casting the spell, and the huge spell formation underfoot had to be tested in case there were any mistakes.
On the other hand, Han Li, with the help of a dozen or so great apes, finished setting up four or five formations with good power in just over an hour. Although they couldn’t stop a JieDan stage cultivator, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was still easily unable to break through.
Yuan Yao at the center of the valley had also brought the preparations to an end. Seeing that the spirit stones had been placed around the formation, a magic skill was struck at the eye of the formation, stimulating the formation. As a result of the formation low sound, black light flickered up, eerie silk black gas suddenly appeared in the formation around, to the center of the cold jade coffin convergence and go.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao’s face showed a look of satisfaction, and she was busy striking out another spell, stopping the spell formation.
”No problem, everything is normal.” Yuan Yao stepped out of the spell formation and rushed Han Li and said joyfully.
”Fellow Daoist Yuan! Have you really thought this through? After shattering the dan, the path of Immortal cultivation in the future is considered blocked, and it’s almost impossible to enter the realm of conjugating dan again.” Han Li looked at this woman’s smiling expression and slowly said.
Once Yuan Yao heard Han Li’s words, the smirk on her face suddenly withdrew and she fell silent.
”Blocking up is as good as blocking up! I can live to this day, and I originally picked it up.” Yuan Yao said calmly.
”Brother Han doesn’t know the love between Senior Sister and I before saying such words. Senior Sister Yan Li and I grew up together as children, entered cultivation together, and ate and lived together for decades, so it’s just like that to be blood sisters. And back then when killing the young master of the Qingyang Sect, it was also senior sister who blocked the other side’s backlash blow for me. Otherwise, now in the soul wood in the bitter suffering of that person, should be me only right. As long as I can keep Senior Sister Yan Li’s Yuan Shen from dispersing and regaining her physical body, the matter of the shattered dan won’t matter.” This woman lifted her plain hand and lightly brushed a strand of green silk in front of her forehead, her expression faint.
Hearing this woman say such words, a trace of color flashed across Han Li’s face. He then pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, no longer saying anything to dissuade her.
Yuan Yao reentered the spell formation and sat cross-legged before the Cold Jade Coffin, quietly waiting for the best time to arrive.
There were no words between the two for a while. But not for long, this woman looked at the color of the sky and slowly stood up.
”The time has come, I’m going to start casting the spell! Regardless of whether or not I can successfully complete the Soul Restoration Technique this time, my young lady is indebted to Brother Han for his great kindness in protecting the spell. Please accept Yuan Yao’s bow first!” Yuan Yao made a light obeisance at Han Li before she no longer hesitated to pinch her hands together and catalyze the spell formation at her feet.
Seeing this, Han Li sighed and slowly walked towards the outside of the valley. In a moment, this place would have a large gathering of Yin Qi, and even with his cultivation level, he didn’t want to get too close to it.
Not far from the mouth of the valley, Han Li stopped walking and looked back at the situation in the valley.
The direction of the formation has been the wind, a layer of dull black light covers the whole place, but also faintly there are ghosts whistling sound from it. The art of returning the soul, it does look extraordinary.
Han expressionlessly sat down on his knees in situ at the mouth of the valley, slowly releasing his divine sense to monitor the movements of the entire island and the nearby sea. While not moving a muscle, his brows tightened, and a faintly bitter smile appeared on his face.
It was only at this moment that he realized why Yuan Yao must have requested that he help protect his magic. This Soul Restoration Technique’s commotion was more than described as great, simply heaven and earth had changed ah!
Han Li looked back a bit with a bit of a headache and glanced at the situation in the valley. The gloomy wind there had already obscured half of the valley, flying sand everywhere, gray blanket yellow. The sound of ghosts crying, mournful shrill. Near the center of the spell formation, there were flashes of piercing black awns, and the heaviness of the yin qi made one’s heart jump!
But what makes Han Li speechless is that in the sky above the island, I don’t know when a piece of dark cloud with a diameter of more than ten miles appeared. Inside, the gloomy qi rolled, thunderstorms burst, and gradually formed the shape of a funnel, with the lower end pointing exactly in the direction of the valley.
With such an obvious sign of heavenly omen, the cultivators active in the nearby sea would definitely be startled. After all, accompanied by this kind of amazing phenomenon, it was usually either a treasure coming out of the world or someone performing a heaven-defying feat, they wouldn’t fail to come and see what was going on.
One just didn’t know if it would startle any powerful characters!
Han Li looked back, is secretly thinking about the time, eyes color movement, suddenly raised his head to the distance in a certain direction to look at.
In the southwest direction of the island, flying and came seven or eight different colors of light, in the twinkling of an eye in the small island more than ten miles away from the high altitude to stop, and then the light convergence, now several male and female cultivators. These people in addition to the head of a gray hair foundation stage old man, the rest are very young young men and women, refining the appearance of seven or eight layers.
Looking at the uniform blue brocade clothing on them, they should be disciples of the same sect.
The old man who was now at the head stood in front of the others, looking puzzled at the amazing heavenly omen in the sky above the small island with a somewhat cloudy expression.
”Elder Zhao, let’s quickly go to the island to take a look, maybe it’s some kind of treasure showing up!” A female disciple aged twenty-two or twenty-two years old, seeing that the old man was just looking but not saying anything, couldn’t help but suggest with some anxiety.
”Hui Ling girl, you are too impatient. Looking at the signs, even if it’s a treasure coming out of the world, it’s still mostly demonic and ferocious weapons. Moreover, there is also the possibility that a high level person is sacrificing or performing some magic secret technique here, so if you venture in to disturb it, wouldn’t you be asking for your own death.” The old man looked at the woman obliquely and chided in an old-fashioned tone.
Once the woman heard this, although there was a somewhat unconvinced look on her face, she also bowed her head and didn’t dare to say anything more.
”Senior Uncle! Then are we just going to wait here?” Another male disciple, who was a bit older, also hesitated a bit after looking at the dark clouds on the island.
”Don’t worry, with such a big commotion, there will definitely be other people arriving here. When we figure out the situation, then we’ll just act as we see fit. Remember, our Tai Yang Sect can exist until now, all rely on the disciples within the door to be careful and cautious enough, and never easily provoke right and wrong. Even if there is a great benefit in front of us, we have to consider whether we have the life to enjoy it!” The old man seemed to be taking the disciples behind him out for a trip, observing the island while lecturing under his breath.
Those young men and women in the back, naturally said yes repeatedly.
As expected, the old man’s words finished not long, from the other side of the island, and came flying yellow and green two recluse light. After discovering the old man and his party, they stopped at a distance of more than a hundred feet.
”So it’s Daoyou Zhao of the Tai Yang Sect, I wonder if you know what has happened on this island and why there is a heavenly omen?” A sweet female voice came from the recluse, and then the light dispersed, revealing a pair of men and women.
Male more than forty years old, a black clothes, face wooden and stiff, like a dead thing in general. The woman was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a handsome and dignified appearance, and was asking the old man warmly.
