In the cave dwelling.

Han Li slowly opened his eyes, withdrawing his spiritual sense from his body, a trace of fatigue appearing on his face.

After composing himself, he flipped his hand and took out a section of light blue Cloud Crane Grass, putting it into his mouth to chew, a pensive look on his face.

After a moment, he let out a long breath and suddenly said:

"Fellow Daoist Mo Guang, may I invite you out for a talk?"

As his voice fell, the shadow in front of him twisted and elongated, and a man dressed in black robes, with skin as dark as ink and a face somewhat similar to his, stood up from within.

The man looked at Han Li, silently.

"Mo Guang, have you ever seen a secret technique that can seal the Nascent Soul of another with chains containing some kind of law power?" Han Li asked directly.

"Is Fellow Daoist's Nascent Soul sealed in connection with this?"

After two years of recuperation, Mo Guang had recovered a lot, but his manner of speaking was still somewhat mechanical.

Han Li nodded, and roughly told the other party about the current situation of his Nascent Soul.

"According to my judgment, Fellow Daoist's situation probably requires first restoring your magic power cultivation, before it is possible to rely on secret techniques to allow the Nascent Soul to break free from the shackles on its own. But relatively, your Nascent Soul is now unable to cultivate because of the binding of these law chains, let alone restore cultivation. In this way, a self-contradictory dead knot has been formed." Mo Guang said after a moment of silence.

"I have roughly deduced what you said, and even the situation is worse than you said. Even if I self-detonate my physical body now, and the Nascent Soul seizes another body, I will not be able to get rid of this technique at all." Han Li said with a frown.

"Fellow Daoist recently took a trip to this sect's scripture pavilion, did you find anything?" Mo Guang asked again.

"Although I read a lot of books, almost nothing was useful." Han Li sighed helplessly.

"In this case, I expect that the rank of secret techniques in this world is not enough to solve such a problem. I'm afraid the only way is to find a way to return to the Immortal World before we can hope to find other ways to resolve this matter." Mo Guang replied after a moment of silence.

...

Somewhere in the Immortal World, a dense forest of unknown name.

The forest was shrouded in cloud miasma, and all that could be seen were towering ancient trees over a hundred zhang high, some lush and vigorous, some withered and decayed, and some were completely purple-red, which was very strange.

In the depths of the dense forest, there was an open area about several thousand zhang wide, with hardly any tall trees, only patches of low shrubs growing, which seemed somewhat out of place compared to the surrounding environment.

In the middle of this area, there grew a strange ancient tree that soared into the clouds.

This tree was dark green, at least a hundred zhang in diameter, with a straight trunk and few branches, and no leaves, looking bare, like a giant pillar supporting the sky.

What was even more special was that above this ancient tree, on seven or eight obliquely growing branches, there was also a huge gray bird's nest, which looked like an inverted old straw hat from a distance.

An ancient and strange giant bird of unimaginable size was lying in the giant nest, whimpering in a low voice, appearing very painful.

This bird was covered with arrow-like feathers all over its body, its head was unusually large, but its neck appeared somewhat slender, and it also had a giant sac hanging near its chest, expanding and contracting with its breathing.

Suddenly, the bird's neck straightened abruptly, its head raised high, its eyes full of vigilance as it looked towards a certain place, and the frequency of the expansion and contraction of the sac in front of its chest greatly increased.

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out!

Three figures in the area at the edge of the forest simultaneously shook violently, and each figure jumped up, then shot straight towards the giant nest.

The three of them were all dressed in black, close-fitting outfits, their jumping timing was completely consistent, and even the amplitude of their movements was exactly the same. What was even more surprising was that the three of them were also identical in stature and appearance, all with a handsome and extraordinary face of a young man with sharp eyes.

The three of them rapidly closed the distance with the giant nest at an indescribable speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, but then their figures blurred at the same time and disappeared.

"Chirp"

The strange bird, startled, inflated the sac in front of its chest and opened its mouth suddenly towards the southeast, letting out a deafening roar.

Rolling sound waves, with an extremely violent momentum, wrapped countless dense green wind blades and swept towards the tall trees in front.

"Rumble"

Like thunder rolling, countless wind blades formed an arc-shaped high wall, and wherever it passed, the low shrubs were uprooted and twisted into debris, and the tall trees were all broken and cut into pieces.

Enveloped in smoke and dust, these fragments turned into a part of this torrent, and continued to rush towards the dense forest with undiminished momentum.

In the void in the southeast direction, the two black figures that had just disappeared suddenly flashed out of the smoke and dust, and fell rapidly towards the ground.

At the same time, a flash of green light suddenly appeared on the two of them, and their figures immediately became blurred, and their speed was unnaturally fast and slow, constantly flashing in the air.

The overwhelming wind blades could not touch them at all.

The giant bird's roar continued, and dense wind blades continued to sweep in all directions, wrapped in sound waves.

And the two figures strolled through the wind blades as if they were walking in a leisurely garden, their figures appearing and disappearing, and they rushed straight towards the giant bird without being affected in the slightest.

Seeing that the two were getting closer and closer, the giant bird looked down at its body and let out a long, mournful cry.

The flesh sac under its neck rapidly swelled up, and in a moment it had become as huge as its body, and it was still growing.

Seeing this, one of the black-clothed youths was furious:

"Evil beast, you still want to self-detonate? Dream on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the third black-clothed youth, who had been hiding his figure, suddenly appeared in the void in front of the giant bird's head without any warning.

He held a black long knife in his hand, and with a slight flick of his wrist, a black light flashed, instantly cutting across the giant bird's throat.

Only the sound of "popping" was heard, and a powerful energy gushed out from the break, carrying a large amount of blue blood, like a fountain, spraying out more than ten zhang high.

When the blue blood fountain had finished spraying, the flesh sac under the green giant bird's neck also shrank back to its original state, and its head slumped sideways in the giant nest, its feathers stained with blood.

Under it, there was a white giant egg stained with blue blood, leaning against the giant bird's abdomen, looking very lonely.

The three black-clothed youths jumped down from the giant bird's head expressionlessly, and walked to the wings and tail respectively. After searching in the thick feathers, they each pulled out a shimmering feather.

Just then, a yellow light suddenly lit up on one of their waists, accompanied by a burst of rapid buzzing.

Seeing this, the other two immediately swayed and came to the black-clothed youth's side. The figures of the three blurred, and they merged into one.

Then, the black-clothed youth took out a circular communication plate from his waist. After scanning it with his spiritual sense, his expression suddenly changed, and he frowned and shouted:

"This is impossible..."

After saying that, a look of sinister flashed in his eyes, he waved his hand to take the giant egg, his figure flashed, and he turned into a gust of wind and roared away.
