The space here isn't particularly lofty. Gazing up at the hazy mist above, he activated the flow of his spiritual energy throughout his body, his eyes flashing with blue light, and halted his flight. Under the Ming-Qing spiritual sight, the cloud layers above appeared a pale blue, yet behind them hung a thin, gauzy silver veil, suspended motionless in the sky. Could this be the seal set by the spiritual realm cultivators? A thought flashed through Han Li's mind. He raised one hand, spread his fingers, and a glowing jade sphere materialized in his palm. Instantly, the sphere shot forth, merging silently into the cloud layers. A moment later, Han Li clearly observed that the sphere had passed through the silver seal without any issue, only to burst into fragments after traveling an additional dozen paces, as if it had encountered something. Han Li relaxed, immediately radiating vibrant jade light from his body, transforming into a streak of jade light and entering the clouds directly. Though he had previously tested the passage, he still felt a moment of cautious anticipation as he crossed the silver seal. Fortunately, he passed through without any mishap, and the restriction remained unactivated. It seemed that the seal established on the remains of the Ling Miao Garden was indeed specifically designed to target the ancient demons. He wondered whether the fragmentation of this medicinal garden might also have been connected to the ancient demons. Unaccountably, a strange thought arose once again in Han Li's mind. After passing through the seal, Han Li felt at ease and fully opened his divine awareness and Qing Ming spiritual eyes, carefully inspecting the spatial barrier inch by inch. He covered an area of several dozen zhang in a short while, finding no anomalies. Han Li had now regained his composure from the initial excitement of securing the medicinal herbs, realizing that his troubles might be far from over. He glanced down at the delicate, silvery seals shimmering brightly, which stood out prominently. Yet, after a moment's hesitation, he decided not to proceed and investigate them further. He remembered clearly the potency of the silvery flames. He did not wish to inadvertently trigger the seal and risk his life. Han Li checked once more in the air, then sighed, finally settling with a look of deep disappointment as he descended back to the ground. "Master..." "There's nothing to be found. The area appears completely sealed—no usable weak points." Han Li spoke evenly. "This means we might be trapped here forever. The ability to cleave space with a single gesture is something only a Huashen-period cultivator can achieve." Yin Yue grew increasingly uneasy. Han Li listened silently without offering a counterargument, but the furrows on his brow deepened slightly. Suddenly, his gaze flickered several times, and he walked toward a particular spatial wall on one side. Yin Yue paused momentarily, then followed closely behind. When韩立 reached a distance of several zhang from the spatial wall, his sleeves trembled without a word, and instantly a flash of golden light erupted, launching dozens of golden flying swords from within them. With a single palm seal, the swords swiftly coalesced into a single massive golden sword, stretching over a zhang in length, at the apex of his head. Then, with a simple hand gesture, he pointed at the sword. A thunderous roar erupted, golden lightning leaping from the sword's surface, and he promptly activated the Divine-Exorcising Thunder. Next, he opened his mouth, and a delicate stream of purple flame gently emerged, striking the sword's surface. Immediately, the sword shimmered with interwoven golden and purple flames, and the thunderclaps grew continuous and powerful. Upon a low exhalation from his mouth, the sword spiraled once in the air before transforming into a brilliant golden-purple streak, which then plunged straight toward the spatial wall. A tremendous roar followed, and a brilliant, dazzling light burst forth ahead, causing the entire space to tremble and resonate with a steady hum. Han Li quickly drew out the two scrolls and chanted the incantation. The Jinghong flashed back with a sudden "whoosh," and upon the brilliant light subsiding, it resumed its form as a massive sword. As the piercing glow ahead gradually faded, Han Li focused intently and narrowed his eyes. Yin Yue, behind him, also observed clearly—where the great sword had sliced through the spatial barrier, there was not a single crack. It merely wavered and trembled for a moment before settling perfectly intact. A slight look of disappointment appeared on her delicate face. Han Li's eyes flashed continuously, as though pondering something deeply. "Ha! Young man, you really expect to break through this spatial barrier with just one strike? That's like dreaming!" said the Daxian Immortal, unimpressed by Han Li's first attempt. "Oh! It seems that you now know how to proceed. Please, enlighten me with your methods," Han Li replied, not only calm but actually delighted. "To exit from here, one must first understand how one arrived here. "You really think that your and the ancient demon soul's full-force strike back then was enough to simply open a spatial rift and enter another realm?" the Daxian Divine Sovereign sneered. "The meaning of your words, then, is..." Han Li's face shifted slightly, hesitating before asking. "It's quite simple. These spatial remnants have already endured a series of dramatic upheavals to remain intact at all. After all these years, they're now on the very brink of dissolution. You've just witnessed that yourself—the barrier trembled even under the impact of the great sword. According to ancient records, when the color of the spatial wall turns grayish-yellow and dull, it's the very early sign of instability. It's likely that your strike struck precisely at the weakest point where the boundary between this realm and the human realm is most fragile. That's why you managed to breach this spatial barrier and arrive here." The Han Divine Sovereign spoke with calm precision. "The weakest point," Han Li said, after a moment of silence, "I and Silver Moon have carefully examined every part of the barrier. We haven't found any anomalies." "Hmph! Stupid. The most vulnerable point of space isn't necessarily the barriers on all four sides. It could be any point within the space itself. You've only looked at the edges of the walls, so naturally, you've found nothing. Moreover, the space itself is already unstable—this very point of vulnerability is likely drifting around within the entire space. Go look carefully; you'll surely find it." The words of the Great Master of Dàyǎn carried a touch of scorn, yet cut straight to the heart of the matter. "Any point within the space?" Hearing this, Han Li suddenly had it all clear. After all, his own cultivation was still relatively modest, and his understanding of spatial principles could hardly compare with that of the Great Master, who had lived for over ten thousand years. But with just a little prompting, he immediately grasped the point. At once, Han Li closed his eyes and projected his powerful divine awareness throughout the space, beginning a meticulous search. This time, the delay was not long—only the span of a cup of tea—and the desired object was found. Han Li did not rise; instead, his form shimmered and flashed, transforming into a streak of azure light, swiftly arriving at the stone pavilion. After the glow subsided, Han Li stepped into view. He immediately fixed his gaze on a specific point several zhang high within the pavilion, his hands clasped behind his back, blue light flickering in his eyes. To the untrained eye, the spot appeared empty. Yet in Han Li’s perception, a faint, bluish glow—no larger than a grain of rice—seemed to hover there, dim and slightly blurred. With careful spiritual sensing, he detected a barely perceptible ripple of qi emanating from the vicinity. It was indeed here. A look of delight spread across Han Li’s face. After a brief thought, he flipped his hand, and a small crimson sword materialized spontaneously from within his palm. "Is it now that you wish to deploy this sword?" the Great Eye Sovereign’s voice carried a tone of surprise. "Indeed. I have already clearly perceived its effect in the previous strike." Even if I locate the weakest point, no matter how powerful my primary artifact's strike, it would be impossible to breach the barrier. In terms of sheer destructive force, naturally, this Blood Demon Sword holds the greatest power. I'll just try it out and see. Han Li spoke calmly. "Hmph! I advise you not to waste your vital energy in vain. You previously employed an unusual secret technique to greatly enhance your cultivation level, and only after striking the spiritual essence of the demon did you manage to open the spatial fissure. Now, do you think you can achieve the same result? Your only hope right now is to swiftly advance to the mid-Stage of Yuan婴 (Metamorphic), then utilize that intriguing scroll together with the Blood Demon Sword—only then might you have a chance to breach the barrier." The Great Derivation Sovereign said frankly. "Advancing to the mid-Stage of Yuan婴 is no easy feat—it won't happen in a matter of days or weeks. Even with the exceptionally dense qi here and the aid of spiritual elixirs, it would still take twenty to thirty years of dedicated effort!" Han Li was taken aback, speaking in surprise. "In the next twenty to thirty years, this space won't collapse—what could possibly worry you? If you were to cultivate externally, relying solely on meditation, with your current aptitude, you wouldn't even dream of reaching mid-Stage Yuan Ying within a hundred years." The Da Yan Divine Sovereign snorted, seemingly dissatisfied with Han Li's ambition. Han Li's expression grew increasingly uncertain. The pills he referred to were naturally the Jingyun Pills. With these pills aiding him, he had a solid chance of attaining the peak of early Yuan Ying stage within thirty years, after which he could begin to tackle his cultivation bottlenecks. However, one of the key ingredients for these pills could not be transplanted, meaning he would have to complete all the pill preparations within this space. Though it meant spending several decades cultivating here before leaving, Han Li found no real objection. The concentration of spiritual energy in this space was even denser than that of his original dwelling, where he had previously installed the spiritual eyes—by several degrees stronger. This, naturally, was a rare opportunity. The only thing that worried Han Li was Nan Gong Wan, still trapped under the sealing soul spell. He was eager to return and use the fire toad spirit's medicinal pill to remove the poison from her. However, Nan Gong Wan's jade scroll had mentioned that, through her secret techniques, she could delay the onset of the poison for nearly a hundred years—so missing out on the next twenty or thirty years should not be a problem. After carefully considering the matter, Han Li finally concluded that he would indeed have to remain in this space for a long time, and could only sigh with a mixture of苦笑 and resignation. "Yin Yue, gather all the medicinal herbs now. Starting today, we will begin preparing the elixirs!" Han Li pressed his lips and spoke decisively. Yin Yue, listening beside him, naturally heard the entire conversation between Han Li and the Great Derivation Divine Sovereign. Upon hearing that they would be able to leave this space, she felt reassured. She no longer wished to experience the feeling of being confined in one place. At that moment, after a gentle smile and a simple nod, she immediately took a stack of vials and jars from Han Li's hands, lightly gliding to one side to begin tending to the medicinal herbs and trees. Han Li, meanwhile, settled comfortably into a meditative posture in the center of the stone pavilion, once again drawing out the jade scroll inscribed with the ancient formula for the medicine, carefully studying the method for preparing the Jingyun Pill. Given the limited supply of medicinal plants available here, Han Li naturally could not afford the slightest negligence in preparing this pill.
