Chapter 891: Rapid Advancement

Approximately half a quarter of an hour later, the Crab Taoist withdrew his spiritual thoughts and said, "There's still a bit of time left. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

"What exactly is going on?" Han Li directly asked a question that encompassed all his doubts.

"In Qingyang City, I've gradually remembered many things, some of which are very... important. In short, I will temporarily stay by Chen Yang's side to prepare for a major event that's coming. Afterward, I will go to Xuan City, and you will go with me then as well." The Crab Taoist pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I originally planned to leave Qingyang City as well, to inquire about Zi Ling's whereabouts while heading to Xuan City. Shi Chuankong is still there, and I can't ignore him. Since you've said so, I will go with you. But before that, you must tell me, what exactly is this major event you're planning?" Han Li asked with a frown.

"Now is not the time to tell you. You just need to cultivate the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill as soon as possible and increase your strength as much as possible so that you can cope with the event that is about to happen." The Crab Taoist shook his head and said.

"When will you go to Xuan City?" Han Li asked again.

"You will know when the time comes. However, it shouldn't be within the next three or four years. You need to make the most of this time." The Crab Taoist said slowly.

Han Li frowned deeply. Just as he was about to ask something else, the Crab Taoist waved his hand at him.

"Time's up."

With that said, the Crab Taoist turned and left the stone gate.

Han Li's gaze darkened, and after pondering for a long time, he could only shake his head in confusion.

He returned to the room, sat down cross-legged, and began to study the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill recorded in the mysterious statue through the profound text previously taught by the Crab Taoist.

At first glance, this cultivation art was extremely profound, far surpassing the Grand Stellar Revolutions Art, the Feather Ascension Skill, and the Vajra Strength Technique. The method of using the power of true spirit bloodlines to impact the profound acupoints was even more mysterious.

Although he now knew the cultivation method, there were still many things he didn't understand, so he concentrated and meditated.

A full three days and three nights later, Han Li finally opened his eyes, barely comprehending the first layer of the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill, and immediately began to cultivate it.

He took out a beast core and swallowed it, slowly circulating the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill. The thirty-six profound acupoints that had already been opened between his chest and abdomen slowly lit up, as if stars were twinkling.

The first layer of the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill contained the opening methods for one hundred and fifty profound acupoints, and all of these profound acupoints were concentrated in the chest and abdomen area.

The first layer focused on foundation building, so the profound acupoints involved were concentrated between the chest and abdomen, aiming to strengthen the body and enhance the overall foundation of the flesh. It didn't have the obvious effects of enhancing speed like the Feather Ascension Skill or strengthening arm strength like the Vajra Strength Technique.

Abilities similar to those of the Feather Ascension Skill and the Vajra Strength Technique would have to wait until the second layer to be cultivated.

However, Han Li was not surprised by this.

Now, after so many years of understanding Xuan cultivation, he deeply understood that the most important part of a body refinement art was the foundation building part. The more profound acupoints that were opened during foundation building, the more solid the foundation, and the greater the future achievements would be.

He had only opened thirty-six profound acupoints before, but he was still able to compete with people who had opened more profound acupoints. The main reason was that the thirty-six profound acupoints cultivated by the Grand Stellar Revolutions Art were all foundation building types, making his physical foundation far more solid than others.

Fortunately, the statue he obtained from Du Qingyang corresponded to the first three layers. He wondered which layers of the skill the statue he obtained from Zhao Gu Zhenren corresponded to.

As Han Li was circulating his energy to refine the beast core in his body, the Palm Heaven Bottle in his lower abdomen suddenly trembled, and a surge of stellar power gushed out from it.

This stellar power was unusually vast and pure, far surpassing the stellar power he obtained from refining beast cores.

He was startled at first, then surprised and delighted.

Previously, in the Jia Luo Blood Array, when he was about to be unable to withstand it, the Palm Heaven Bottle suddenly operated on its own and absorbed the stellar power from Du Qingyang and others.

He originally thought that the stellar power had been swallowed by the Palm Heaven Bottle itself, but he didn't expect it to be fed back now to help him cultivate.

With this in mind, he hurriedly circulated the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill to refine this continuous stream of pure stellar power.

At the same time, he silently circulated the power of the true spirit bloodline in his body to assist in impacting the profound acupoints.

With a "buzz," various dazzling lights appeared on his body. True dragon, heavenly phoenix, mountain giant ape, and other true spirit phantoms swirled and danced around him.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he let out a soft "Eh" from his mouth.

Previously, in the Xuan Battle Arena, he had repeatedly tried to activate the true spirit bloodline, but he had been unable to succeed. The true spirit bloodline in his body seemed to be suppressed by some force, but now he was able to unleash it without any effort.

Was it due to the influence of the previous Jia Luo Blood Array? Or was there another reason?

Han Li shook his head and didn't think too much about it. No matter what the reason, being able to summon the true spirit meant that he could refine the power of the true spirit bloodline as the Crab Taoist had said.

One by one, the true spirit phantoms swirled around him, but there were not the previous nine, but ten, with an additional white true spirit phantom.

This white true spirit was a giant white snake, its body as winding as a dragon, its entire body as white as jade, but its eyes were blood-red, like two bright red beads in white jade. Not only did it not have any bloodthirsty or ferocious feeling, but it added to its divine appearance.

Han Li looked at the white snake true spirit, his eyes flashing.

That day, when the Jia Luo Blood Array was reversed, the essence blood power from Du Qingyang and others poured into his body. This white snake true spirit was a kind of true spirit bloodline in Du Qingyang's body, and it also flowed into his body with the reversal of the Jia Luo Blood Array.

Han Li recognized this white snake true spirit, which was called Teng Snake.

Whether it was a coincidence or for some other reason, this Teng Snake true spirit was also one of the twelve transformations of the Awakening of Insects.

Han Li closed his eyes and concentrated. The ten true spirit phantoms around him flashed and disappeared one after another, leaving only the Teng Snake true spirit phantom, which wrapped around his body.

Strands of Teng Snake true spirit power permeated from his body, slowly flowing towards a closed profound acupoint between his chest and abdomen.

The closed profound acupoint was originally extremely solid, and could only be slowly ground down with external forces such as stellar power to slowly open it, but the true spirit power was like invisible water, gradually seeping into it drop by drop.

As the true spirit power merged into the closed profound acupoint, the tightly closed gate immediately loosened a lot, and waves of stellar power immediately poured in, impacting this profound acupoint.

Han Li raised an eyebrow, a look of joy on his face.

With the aid of true spirit power, the speed of opening the profound acupoint was indeed much faster.

However, he soon couldn't laugh anymore. The stellar power gushing out of the Palm Heaven Bottle became faster and faster, and there was more and more of it, giving him a sense of being overwhelmed.

These stellar powers were drawn by the Palm Heaven Bottle and did not overflow from his body, but accumulated in his eight extraordinary meridians.

Han Li's entire body was gradually filled with powerful stellar power, and a layer of stellar light appeared on the skin of his body. His whole person vaguely had a tendency to turn into a humanoid stellar crystal.

He only felt as if his whole body was being burned and fried, and boundless pain came from every inch of his body, even more painful than the countless essence blood pouring into him in the Jia Luo Blood Array that day.

In addition to the pain, Han Li also felt a trace of panic in his heart.

At this moment, he was in the Accumulated Scale Void Realm, and immortal spiritual power could not be used. If his entire body crystallized, he might really die here.

He originally thought that the reversed flow of stellar power from the Palm Heaven Bottle was a great thing, but he never thought that good fortune would turn into misfortune. If he was not careful, he might fall into a state of eternal damnation.

At this moment, Han Li gritted his teeth, and regardless of the gradual cultivation according to the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill, he fully activated this skill and simultaneously impacted five profound acupoints.

Impacting profound acupoints required extremely strong concentration. If one was not careful, it would cause irreversible damage to the profound acupoints, but at this moment of life and death, he couldn't care about so much.

Simultaneously impacting several profound acupoints greatly increased the consumption of stellar power, barely keeping pace with the stellar power pouring out of the Palm Heaven Bottle, and the crystallization trend of his body slowly stopped, but it did not recede.

Han Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and fully circulated the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill, both saving his life and cultivating.

More than a month passed quickly.

Whether it was due to Chen Yang or not, no one came to him to participate in any Xuan battles during this period. In fact, Han Li couldn't care about these things now.

His body still maintained a semi-crystallized appearance, and five starlight spots trembled on his chest.

With a soft "poof," a profound acupoint shone brightly and was suddenly opened.

The other four profound acupoints also shone with starlight, and were not far from being opened.

But Han Li couldn't care about being happy at the moment, because the stellar power gushing out of the Palm Heaven Bottle not only did not weaken, but became more and more.

"Damn it! How much stellar power did the Palm Heaven Bottle absorb?" He cursed inwardly, then immediately gathered his mind and continued to urge the stellar power in the Palm Heaven Bottle to flow to the new profound acupoints.

And he increased the number of profound acupoints being impacted simultaneously from five to six.

Simultaneously impacting five profound acupoints was already very difficult for Han Li, and he didn't know if increasing it to six would cause problems.

But now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

If the stellar power in the Palm Heaven Bottle continued to gush out so powerfully, he might have to continue to increase the number of profound acupoints being impacted simultaneously.

He took a deep breath, and bright starlight appeared on the profound acupoints all over his body. The semi-crystallized body also emitted bursts of starlight aura, submerging his body in it.

Time passed slowly, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Li's entire body was shrouded in extremely bright starlight, forming a starlight sphere, and the specific situation could not be seen.

At this moment, the dazzling starlight around him suddenly flickered violently, and then burst and scattered.

Countless clear sounds like dragon roars erupted, the air in the room stirred, as if there were hurricanes and lightning raging, and the entire room trembled slightly.

In the midst of the starlight, Han Li slowly stood up, his body completely restored to its original state.

However, at this moment, spots of starlight flickered on his body, which were the opened profound acupoints, reaching as many as two hundred and thirty-seven.

He spent a full five years, finally exhausting the stellar power in the Palm Heaven Bottle, opening one hundred and sixty-five profound acupoints, and completing the cultivation of the first layer of the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill.

Han Li looked at the dense starlight of profound acupoints on his body with a happy face. Although this time was dangerous, the harvest was huge, and his hard work in the past few years was not in vain.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, dissipated the starlight on his body, and endless fatigue surged into his heart.

In the past few years, he had been cultivating the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill without sleep, concentrating all his attention. He had accumulated too much fatigue, and his body had already reached its limit.

Thinking of this, he fell headfirst onto the bed and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
