Chapter 991 Helpless

Han Li took the jade bottle, opened it, and found a ball of white light inside, slowly rotating within. Each revolution caused the white light to flash and expand, as if it were alive.

In the center of the light, however, was a white pill, with countless light spots faintly visible, appearing incomparably mysterious, and radiating an immensely powerful aura of life.

"This is..." Han Li's eyes flashed.

The aura emanating from this pill was quite similar to that of Crab Daoren's heart.

"This pill is called Profound Truth Pill, and I refined it using my origin essence, combined with various other precious materials. Although this pill is not used to condense a True Soul, it contains quite a bit of 'Profound Truth Essence', which is enough for you to advance to Grand Luo in the future," Crab Daoren said slowly.

Han Li was both surprised and delighted to hear this. He had seen the great name of Profound Truth Essence many times in the classics, and it was a key ingredient for advancing to the Grand Luo realm.

To advance to the Grand Luo realm, in addition to having sufficient cultivation and opening up three hundred and sixty immortal apertures, the most important point is to complete the transformation of the divine soul, transforming it from an ordinary soul into a Grand Luo True Soul.

To complete this transformation, Profound Truth Essence is needed.

Profound Truth Essence is extremely precious. Legend has it that only by passing through the Nine Heavens Astral Winds and entering the incredibly dangerous outer void, in that highest and purest place in the universe, is it possible to find a bit of it. It is a true Xuan Tian divine object.

And at this moment, he finally understood the reason Shi Zhanfeng entered the Scaled Abyss Realm. He was probably also trying to obtain enough Profound Truth Essence to advance to Grand Luo in the future.

"Then thank you, Crab Daoyou. This is indeed something I need." Han Li was not polite and accepted the jade bottle.

Crab Daoren smiled when he saw Han Li accept it.

"Crab Daoyou has gifted me such a treasure. Han is not an ungrateful person. When my cultivation is sufficient in the future, I will definitely come back to lend you a hand," Han Li said solemnly.

"Then Shi will thank you in advance. This small Profound Truth Pill is far from enough to repay Daoyou Han's kindness. If there is anything you need my help with, please feel free to ask," Crab Daoren said with a smile.

"Since Crab Daoyou says so, I do have something I would like to trouble you with," Han Li said, his heart moved.

"Oh? What is it? Feel free to speak," Crab Daoren said, slightly taken aback.

"It's still about Ti Hun. Crab Daoyou's supernatural powers have greatly improved now, and I hope you can examine her," Han Li said.

More than a thousand years ago, Crab Daoren had only taught him a sealing secret technique. Under the circumstances at the time, he was unable to carefully examine Ti Hun.

"No problem," Crab Daoren nodded immediately, then flicked his finger.

A golden light entered Han Li's body and turned into a golden ball of light, spinning around in his dantian.

As before, the spatial pressure around him disappeared instantly, and the immortal spiritual power in his body resumed its operation. He immediately opened the Flower Branch Space.

The two then entered it and arrived in the pavilion.

Ti Hun was lying on the bed, and black lines appeared on her body, forming a sealing technique that exuded an aura of sealing.

This was precisely the sealing secret technique that Crab Daoren had taught him.

Crab Daoren walked to Ti Hun's side, looked at her carefully, and suddenly frowned.

Han Li's heart sank when he saw Crab Daoren's expression, and his face darkened slightly.

Crab Daoren raised his hand and pointed at Ti Hun's forehead, and black crystal light emerged from his fingertip, rippling outwards in circles.

Ti Hun's body trembled slightly, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

Han Li's face lit up with joy at the sight of this.

But the next moment, Ti Hun's body returned to silence, and she stopped moving.

Crab Daoren's expression changed slightly. He flipped his palm, and a beam of black light shot out from his palm and entered Ti Hun's forehead.

Ti Hun's body trembled again, and then immediately returned to silence.

Crab Daoren's face was solemn, and he slowly retracted his palm, his eyebrows tightly locked.

"Crab Daoyou, how is Ti Hun?" Han Li asked anxiously.

"Ti Hun Daoyou's condition is very peculiar. She seems to have been injured by some extremely powerful Law power, and her divine soul essence is constantly dissipating. I can only stabilize her condition, but I am unable to heal her," Crab Daoren shook his head and said.

"Even with your Dao Ancestor cultivation, you can't heal Ti Hun, then who can heal her?" Han Li's heart turned cold when he heard this, and he said slowly.

Although the Great Priest of the Demon Clan had not yet diagnosed Ti Hun, even Crab Daoren's strength was unable to help, and the Great Priest's intervention would probably be useless.

"Li Daoyou doesn't need to be so disheartened. Dao Ancestors are not omnipotent. The Puppet Law I practice specializes in manipulation and is not good at saving people. There are tens of thousands of Laws in the world, and their mysteries are far beyond your imagination. Although I can't save Ti Hun, someone can," Crab Daoren said with a chuckle.

"Is that so? Who is this person?" Han Li was stunned and quickly asked.

"It's the Sacrificial Hall Great Priest that Shi Chuankong told you about earlier. This person cultivates Laws that target the soul, and he has reached an extremely high level. He should be able to heal Ti Hun," Crab Daoren said.

"I see. Thank you for your guidance, Crab Daoyou," Han Li said, his eyes lighting up, and he clasped his fists.

Now that the First Prince is dead, it may be much more troublesome to ask the Great Priest to take action. It might even escalate into a direct conflict with the Nightfall Dynasty, but for Ti Hun's sake, he couldn't care so much.

"Crab Daoyou, when will you open the spatial channel?" Han Li's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision and asked.

"Although I have now advanced to Dao Ancestor, it still takes some preparation to open a spatial channel connecting to the outside. Moreover, this time, opening the spatial channel is not just for you alone. I have other arrangements as well. I'll wait until Sha Xin and the others arrive. About half a year later," Crab Daoren said after a moment's thought.

Han Li nodded slowly, naturally having no objection to this.

The two then left the Flower Branch Space and returned to the outside.

Crab Daoren had to busy himself with opening the spatial channel and quickly took his leave. Han Li returned to the place where he had been in seclusion earlier.

After leaving the main hall, Crab Daoren quickly arrived at a hidden secret room.

Only one oil lamp was lit in the secret room. The dim yellow light illuminated a small area, and the rest remained pitch black.

At this moment, a hazy black figure stood next to the oil lamp, with his hands behind his back.

Crab Daoren did not show any surprise when he saw the black figure, as if he had expected it.

"Congratulations, Daoyou Shi. After many years of hard work, you have finally succeeded in one fell swoop," the black figure turned around. His face was blurred and his figure was misty, as if he were not a real entity, but a projection.

"I must also thank Senior for your guidance back then. I was young and impulsive back then. After cutting off two corpses, I attempted to cut off the third corpse in one fell swoop. As a result, there were flaws in my state of mind. Even if that thief, E Kuai, did not bring in the Stone Sky Fish, that corpse-cutting would have failed. Fortunately, I received Senior's guidance at the last moment and sealed my divine soul memory into a puppet, transforming into a puppet. I went to the lower realm to experience the Dao of Puppets. This time, I transformed from a puppet back into a human, and only then did I completely understand the true meaning of the Puppet Law and finally succeed in one fell swoop," Crab Daoren bowed to the hazy figure and said gratefully.

"It's just a little bit of cultivation experience. Daoyou Shi's ability to comprehend it is also due to your own extraordinary comprehension," the hazy figure said indifferently.

"In any case, I will never forget Senior's great kindness," Crab Daoren said respectfully.

"I don't want to hear such empty words of thanks. I came here this time just to ask you if the agreement back then is still valid?" the hazy figure said.

"Of course. Shi Kongyu has harmed me so miserably. If I don't repay him well, it would be too easy for him," Crab Daoren said with a sneer.

"Shi Kongyu has been in charge of the Demon Realm for a long time and has a strong foundation. Your small Scaled Abyss Realm is far from being able to deal with him. What's more, although you have now attained the position of Dao Ancestor, you are still far inferior to Shi Kongyu in a one-on-one fight. Don't be impatient and seek quick success. Let's take our time and discuss it," a trace of joy flashed in the hazy figure's eyes, and he then instructed.

"I understand. I won't make the same mistake a second time. Don't worry, Senior," Crab Daoren nodded and said.

"That's good. By the way, I have another matter that I need your help with this time," the hazy figure nodded slightly and then said.

"Please speak, Senior," Crab Daoren was stunned and immediately said.

The hazy figure walked to Crab Daoren's side and moved his lips slightly.

Crab Daoren was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously looked in one direction, his face changing slightly.

……

Han Li's place of seclusion.

The golden ball of light in his dantian was much more energetic than before and was still spinning around without dissipating.

Han Li sat down cross-legged and circulated his immortal spiritual power, and golden light shone brightly around him.

Since entering the Scaled Abyss Realm, he had not circulated his immortal spiritual power so freely for over a thousand years, and he felt extremely happy at this moment.

The Time Law power in Han Li's body had been dormant for many years, and today it was finally no longer bound, and it surged like a raging wave in his body.

With a "buzz" sound, a golden wheel appeared behind him, spinning around continuously. It was the Mantra Treasure Wheel.

Then, a flash of light appeared on the other side of his body, and the Time Purification Bottle emerged. Then, with a series of flashes of light, the Illusory Star Sandglass, the Time-Breaking Fire, the Eastern Yi Divine Wood, and other items appeared one after another, automatically revolving around his body.

Han Li frowned. The Mantra Treasure Wheel and other items appeared automatically at this moment, not because he had activated them.

"Could it be coming again..." He was startled and muttered to himself.

At that moment, strands of Time Law crystal threads shot out from these things and condensed into a golden circle, spinning non-stop.

All the Time Law power in Han Li's body poured out and entered the golden circle.

The golden circle quickly grew larger, turning twice its original size in the blink of an eye, radiating dazzling golden light and vibrating rapidly, emitting a sharp, trembling sound.

With a "whoosh" sound, a ball of green light flew out from his chest. After the green light subsided, it turned into a dark green bottle. It was the Palm Heaven Bottle.

The bottle radiated light as if it were a ball of green sunlight, and at the same time emitted a powerful suction force.

With a "whoosh" sound.

The golden circle flew over and rapidly shrunk, eventually becoming the size of the Palm Heaven Bottle's mouth, and it was directly embedded in it.

As soon as the two came into contact, a vast amount of Time Law power rippled out from the Palm Heaven Bottle.

The Palm Heaven Bottle then quickly grew larger, and countless green runes appeared inside the bottle, turning into a cloud of green, tumbling non-stop.

Then, green light flashed from the mouth of the bottle, and a thick beam of green light shot out from it, entering the void in front of it.
