Wang Yu
Chapter 135 Natal Eight Spirits Jar
He knew that the green liquid's transformation into crystalline particles, which greatly accelerated the heavy water refinement of his incarnation, was already heaven-defying. It was purely wishful thinking to expect this substance to directly affect his main body.
Of course, if he could truly have the opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of the Time Law in the future, he might be able to apply it to his main body.
At the thought of this, a surge of excitement flashed through his heart.
However, this matter could only be imagined for the time being.
Not to mention mastering the Time Law, one of the three Supreme Laws, even truly mastering one of the Three Thousand Great Daos and becoming a true True Immortal was an extremely difficult task for most rogue cultivators.
Moreover, although he had barely recovered his cultivation, the real crisis had not been completely resolved.
Therefore, his immediate priority was to increase his strength as quickly as possible and retrieve his lost memories and treasures as soon as possible, so as not to be poisoned again for no reason.
Although the Black Wind Sea Area was remote, it was not a place to stay for long. If his enemies found any clues and came looking for him, it would be a big trouble. Perhaps someone had sensed his approximate location when he unlocked the Nascent Soul seal.
As for how to retrieve his lost memories, he currently only had two clues.
First, naturally, it was to return to the Ascension Platform where he first ascended, find Gao Sheng who received him at the time, and ask what happened after he left there.
However, not to mention how vast the Northern Cold Immortal Territory was, how could he find this person? Even if he were found, it was uncertain how much of Gao Sheng's words could be believed.
Moreover, as a True Immortal Realm late-stage expert, it would not be a good strategy to go rashly without ensuring his own safety.
The second clue was the wanted order that was passed down from the Immortal World and the section of mysterious cyan-black chain that he had sealed in the white jade box.
For some reason, he always felt that there should be some connection between these two things. He believed that as long as he found the person who issued the order or the owner of the chain, he should be able to find important clues related to his lost memories.
Of course, whether he wanted to unravel the mystery of three hundred years ago through either of the above clues, he needed strong strength as a guarantee.
"It seems that the fastest way to increase my strength is to retrieve my lost magic treasures and Golden Boy Crab Taoist companions..." Han Li shook his head and sighed.
In addition to this, there was another way, which was to allow the incarnation to refine a large amount of heavy water as quickly as possible.
According to the description of heavy water in the *Black Sea Heavy Water Sutra*, even a layer of heavy water, as long as there was enough of it, was enough to become a trump card that could crush powerful enemies.
However, even with a constant stream of crystalline particles transformed from the green liquid, it was not something that could be done in a short period of time to reach the level described in the classics.
One month later, one early morning.
In the courtyard of Han Li's quadrangle courtyard, an octagonal bronze tank with a mottled copper rust and a quaint shape appeared at some unknown time.
Each of the eight sides around the tank was carved with a different open-mouthed beast, some shaped like unicorns, some like gluttonous beasts, and some like Kui cattle... each one was ferocious and strange, and each was different.
Around the strange beasts were carved strings of strange circular patterns, and below them were ancient seal characters the size of eight human heads, written in gold lacquer.
On the bluestone slabs below the bronze tank, eight fan-shaped array patterns the size of ten feet were carved out with sharp tools, and from above, they looked like a blooming flower.
Inside the tank was filled with clear water, the surface of which was as smooth as a mirror, without the slightest ripple.
At this time, Han Li, dressed in a green robe, was standing next to the bronze tank, gently stroking the edge of the tank with one hand.
This tank was called the "Original Eight Spirits Tank", and it was an exotic treasure that he had exchanged from a cultivator in the Unstable Alliance's trading array disc three days ago at a considerable cost.
Speaking of which, this object was not a magic weapon to assist in combat or help in cultivation, but an exotic treasure specifically used to find people and explore things.
Unlike ordinary similar magic weapons, this tank can only explore people or things that have a blood or soul connection with each other.
Han Li spared no expense because he planned to use this tank to find his natal flying sword, as well as Devouring Gold Bugs and other accompanying objects.
He looked up at the sunlight that was gradually projecting over the courtyard wall, turned his wrist, and a few dragon-eye-sized top-quality spirit stones appeared in his palm, emitting bursts of aqua-blue and earthy-yellow light.
He walked around the tank and embedded the water and earth attributes spirit stones in his hand into the mouths of the eight strange beasts.
After doing all this, he returned to his original position with a shake of his body, muttering something softly in his mouth, and his eyes gradually became a little hot.
As the first ray of morning sun barely crossed the courtyard wall and shone on the water tank, a faint golden light immediately appeared on the water surface overflowing the mouth of the tank.
Seeing this, Han Li pressed his hands on the edge of the tank, his eyes sank, his lips parted slightly, and he began to chant a passage of obscure incantations.
Along with the sound of chanting, the fan-shaped array patterns below the tank immediately lit up with blue light, and the eight ancient seal characters on the tank body also shone brightly.
At the same time, the water surface, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, began to ripple in layers, and the mouths of the strange beasts around the bronze tank also lit up with bright light.
Aqua-blue and earthy-yellow light, respectively, projected in from both sides of the tank wall, illuminating the water surface in the tank into a yellow-blue color like a Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram.
Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised a palm, extending it flat above the water surface.
A faint light flashed on his index finger, and a drop of golden blood essence slowly emerged and dripped down.
"Dong."
A sound like a drop of water from the depths of the sea of consciousness rang in Han Li's heart.
His eyes stared fixedly at the inside of the water tank, and he saw that after the drop of blood essence entered the water, not only did it not show any signs of dissolving, but it also spun rapidly like a spinning top.
Driven by this drop of blood essence, the water in the entire tank began to stir rapidly. The originally distinct yellow and blue lights were somehow mixed together, blending out strange lines that looked like peaks and rivers.
Seeing this, Han Li chanted again.
The drop of blood essence suddenly seemed to receive an order, and the spinning momentum stopped abruptly. With a flash of light, it twisted and changed into a tiny miniature golden sword.
Its shape clearly looked exactly like Han Li's natal flying sword "Azure Bamboo Cloud-swarm Sword".
"Go!"
With a command from Han Li's mouth, the golden small sword suddenly trembled rapidly on the water surface, and then the direction suddenly turned, and it swam quickly towards the east.
The area of the bronze tank was very limited, and the speed of the small sword was very fast, so it should have hit the tank wall soon.
However, the fact was that the tip of the golden small sword always maintained a distance of one foot from the tank wall and did not hit it.
If you looked closely, you could find that the landscape patterns on the water surface of the tank were constantly flowing backwards, thereby offsetting the scene of the golden small sword floating on it constantly skimming forward.
After about a quarter of an hour, the landscape patterns on the water surface gradually stopped, and the golden small sword hovered over a blurry, dense pattern.
Han Li could not see the terrain displayed by this pattern, but could only judge that it must be outside the Black Wind Sea Area, and in a very far place in the east.
After watching for a while, he raised his finger and pointed it towards the golden small sword on the water surface, wanting to more clearly feel the condition of his natal flying sword from it.
However, the moment his finger touched the golden small sword, his sea of consciousness suddenly trembled slightly, and he sensed an extremely weak familiar aura in his soul.
"Could this be..."
After a slight pondering, Han Li immediately closed his eyes, restrained his mind, and carefully felt it.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but say:
"There's no mistake, it really is Crab Taoist's soul aura..."
But soon, he became a little puzzled again, did the Azure Bamboo Cloud-swarm Sword happen to be with Crab Taoist, or were they just coincidentally not far apart?
Thinking of this, another thought appeared in Han Li's mind, and he muttered to himself: "I wonder if Golden Boy... will also be with them?"
After saying a word, the sound of chanting spells sounded again in his mouth, and then his palm gently brushed over the water surface.
The golden small sword in the water immediately shrank and turned back into a blood essence appearance.
"Go!" After chanting the spell, Han Li gave another low shout.
As a result, the drop of blood essence only trembled slightly, and then, like a headless fly, it turned around in the water tank without any purpose.
After a while, it suddenly sank and plunged into the bottom of the water tank, disappearing.
With the disappearance of the drop of blood essence, the spirit stones around the bronze tank were exhausted, and the light gradually dimmed. The strange scene inside the tank also disappeared, and it turned back into a tank of clear water.
Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but sighed.
Whether it was because the distance was too far, or for some other reason, the blood essence in the bronze tank just now was unable to sense the location of the Devouring Gold Bug King, and even its approximate location could not be determined.
If Han Li could not still feel the only remaining trace of soul connection with the Devouring Gold Bug King in the dark, he would even have thought that it had fallen.
Fortunately, there was already news about the Azure Bamboo Cloud-swarm Sword and Crab Taoist. Although it was only a direction, it was not without gain.
He believed that as long as he went in the direction shown by the Eight Spirits Tank, when the distance was close enough, it would not be difficult to find them by relying on blood and divine sense perception alone.
At the thought of this, Han Li couldn't wait to leave immediately.
However, he also knew very well that even if he were to leave, he must first settle everything here.
