A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Chapter 132: Heavy Water

After stowing the small vial away, Han Li began to carefully inspect the crystal in his hand.

The crystal also struck him with a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't recall how to use it.

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to him, and he closed his eyes, following which a translucent thread shot out of his glabella before wrapping itself around the crystal.

Moments later, his eyes abruptly sprang open, and a bemused look appeared on his face.

"How did this happen?" Han Li murmured to himself.

Through his spiritual sense, he discovered that this crystal was a spirit material that contained a type of law powers, which was identical to the type of law powers imbued within the eyeball of that one-eyed giant.

However, the law powers imbued within this crystal weren't even a tenth as potent as what was in that eyeball.

Given the small vial’s various abilities and the series of phenomena that had taken place earlier, Han Li was able to conclude with relative confidence that this wasn't some type of earth-attribute law powers.

However, as for exactly what it was, he didn't have much of an idea, and he decided that he was going to see if he could find some information from the array plate of the Transient Guild once he returned to Dark Veil Island.

As he was contemplating this matter, he took the time to swallow a few pills, and the pills quickly melted into bursts of pure energy that flowed to all parts of his body, giving his complexion a visible improvement.

He took a glance at his surroundings, then rose up into the air as a streak of light before flying toward Dark Veil Island.

He returned quietly to the island without alerting anyone, then went straight into the secret chamber in the courtyard he was staying in.

Shortly thereafter, the world's origin qi within a radius of hundreds of kilometers began to converge toward the small courtyard, forming a massive vortex of spiritual qi.

At this point, all of the residents of the island, regardless of whether they were cultivators or mortals, were already accustomed to the phenomena brought about by Han Li.

The phenomenon of converging spiritual qi lasted all the way until nighttime before slowly dissipating.

However, not long after that, bursts of starpower from the Big Dipper shone down from the night sky, forming seven huge pillars of starpower that descended into the courtyard.

This cycle of gathering spiritual qi during the day and harnessing starpower at night went on for an entire month.

Inside the secret chamber, Han Li was slowly revolving within a cocoon of bright azure light.

All of a sudden, the azure light faded in a flash to reveal Han Li inside, and at this point, he had already made a full physical recovery.

He quickly inspected his internal condition with his spiritual sense, upon which a relieved look appeared on his face.

Thankfully, having cultivated the Big Dipper Origin Arts, he had built up a tremendous physical foundation, so he was able to make a full recovery despite the grueling ordeal he had endured.

As for the Heaven Controlling Vial, just as he had anticipated, it had also returned to its original appearance after absorbing starpower during this period.

Han Li exhaled as he pulled out that crystal formed by the drop of spirit liquid once again, and he plucked the crystal between his fingers as he raised it to his eye, while a contemplative look appeared on his face.

He then flipped his hand over to produce the eyeball of the one-eyed giant, then closed his eyes and injected his spiritual sense into it.

Sure enough, the law powers contained within the crystal were identical to the type imbued within the eyeball, but up to this point, Han Li still hadn't managed to figure out exactly what this type of law powers was.

As he opened his eyes, he came to a decision.

He had almost been sucked completely dry for the sake of this crystal, so he had to figure out what it was no matter what.

With that in mind, he pulled out the azure mask from the Transient Guild before putting it on, then pointed a finger at his own glabella while chanting an incantation.

Rippling azure light that resembled water rose up from the mask, forming a huge array plate projection in front of him.

He navigated directly to the missions area, where he released a mission of his own. He provided a description of the one-eyed giant and promised a handsome reward to anyone that could identify the creature.

After that, Han Li stowed the crystal and the mask away before making his way out of the small courtyard and flying away into the distance.

In a certain region of the sea near Dark Veil Island, turbulent waves were rumbling incessantly, and there was a massive vortex that was over 100 kilometers in size, churning everything that fell into it straight to the seabed.

Han Li appeared in a flash, then flew into the center of the vortex without any hesitation, quickly reaching the seabed.

A blue figure was seated with their legs crossed on a large rock on the seabed, and it was none other than Han Li's Earthly Deity Avatar.

The avatar had its arms encircled in front of its chest, and black rippling light was shimmering all around it as it cultivated the Black Sea Heavy Water Tome.

Bursts of power of faith were being transmitted to the Earthly Deity Avatar from afar, and a law thread had emerged above the avatar's head, giving off bursts of water law fluctuations.

Han Li gave a slight nod at the sight of the law thread.

This method of cultivation used by Earthly Immortals to manifest law powers using the power of faith was quite unique, and just the power of faith supplied by the people of Dark Veil Island alone was enough to allow the Earthly Deity Avatar to manifest a law thread so soon.

At the same time, the avatar had also accumulated a sizeable amount of magic power in its body, but it was rather scattered and chaotic, perhaps due to the fact that the magic power was mixed with the power of faith.

The cultivation method employed by Han Li was different from that of other Earthly Immortals, and the difference was that he didn't allow any of the power of faith harnessed by his Earthly Deity Avatar to flow into his body.

As a result, he was unable to enjoy the benefit of manifest law powers using the power of faith, but on the flip side, his immortal spiritual power wouldn't be contaminated by the power of faith.

After all, he had only refined this Earthly Deity Avatar in order to break the seal on his nascent soul.

All of a sudden, he turned his gaze toward the hands of his Earthly Deity Avatar, and his brows furrowed ever so slightly.

There was a ball of black water the size of an infant's fist hovering above the avatar's hands, and it was shimmering with black light, giving it a rather peculiar appearance.

Sure enough, the Black Sea Heavy Water Tome really was living up to its reputation of being extremely slow to progress in.

Not long after he returned to Dark Veil Island, he had left his avatar here to cultivate the first level of heavy water, and it had only managed to manifest such a tiny amount in over a month.

It was no wonder that the creator of the Black Sea Heavy Water Tome had taken over 500,000 years just to manifest enough heavy water to fill a small creek.

Han Li beckoned to the ball of heavy water, and it flew over to him before landing on his palm.

It was only a tiny ball of heavy water, but it was no lighter than a small mountain.

After inspecting the ball of heavy water for a moment, he stored it into a jade vial, then flew away without lingering any longer. Right as he emerged from the sea and was about to return to his courtyard, an astonishing phenomenon suddenly began to unfold above Dark Veil Island.

All of the world's origin qi in a radius of thousands of kilometers had converged to form an enormous spiritual qi vortex, and spiritual qi was trailing down from the vortex like rays of light, forming a giant waterfall of light that surged into a palace on Dark Veil Island.

That palace was none other than Luo Feng's residence.

At this moment, the palace was surrounded by a vast sea of five-colored light, and all types of light of different colors were surging incessantly amid bursts of loud rumbling.

Han Li took a glance in the direction of the palace from afar, then abruptly vanished on the spot.

The massive commotion was clearly visible and audible across the entire island, but no panic had ensued. Instead, all of the members of the Luo Clan, particularly the Spatial Tempering and Body Integration cultivators, all appeared extremely excited.

This phenomenon was a clear indication of a Body Integration cultivator making a breakthrough to the Grand Ascension Stage!

Inside the palace, Luo Feng was seated with his legs crossed, and the light radiating from his body was flashing wildly. His aura was fluctuating drastically, and his expression was also constantly changing, as if he were undergoing some type of trial.

All of a sudden, Han Li appeared beside him without any warning.

Luo Feng's aura was fluctuating more and more violently, and droplets of sweat were beginning to bead up on his forehead and his cheeks. At the same time, he seemed to be losing control over his own emotions.

The five-colored sea of light around the palace was also trembling in an unstable manner, and rays of light would occasionally shoot out in random directions, smashing huge craters into the ground around the palace, much to the alarm and panic of the surrounding bystanders, who quickly fled into the distance.

Han Li flicked a finger through the air upon seeing this, and a burst of gentle translucent light shot out before entering Luo Feng's glabella.

Luo Feng's expression instantly eased slightly, and the wild flashing of the light around him subsided, while the five-colored sea of light outside the palace was also stabilized.

As more and more spiritual qi surged down from the heavens, the five-colored sea of light around the palace also gradually transformed into a massive cocoon of light.

Time slowly passed by, and after an indeterminate period of time, the cocoon of light suddenly shuddered, following which a peculiar fragrant aroma wafted out from within.

A faint crack rang out as a small rift appeared on the cocoon of light, and a burst of golden light escaped from within, then transformed into a series of golden flowers, while a burst of heavenly music rang out.

All of the members of the Luo Clan gathered near the palace were ecstatic to see this, and a collective thunderous cheer rang out.

Inside the palace, light was revolving around Luo Feng's body, and his skin had turned as fair as jade. Furthermore, he had also taken on a slightly more youthful appearance.

He slowly opened his eyes, and an excited look appeared on his face.

This Grand Ascension Stage breakthrough was not one that he had much confidence in, and he was almost unable to transcend the tribulation of inner demons. However, a burst of external power had suddenly entered his body, fortifying his mind and ensuring a safe breakthrough.

Luo Feng was just about to rise to his feet when he spotted Han Li standing beside him.

He faltered momentarily at the sight of Han Li, then immediately realized what had to have happened, and he extended a deep bow toward Han Li. "Thank you for your assistance, Senior Liu."

"It's nothing, don't mention it. I didn't expect you to reach the Grand Ascension Stage so soon. This is truly worthy of celebration!" Han Li replied with a slight nod.

"It's all thanks to those cultivation resources that you bestowed upon me that I was able to take this step," Luo Feng replied in a respectful voice, and his heart was full of gratitude.

"As long as you serve me to the best of your abilities, there will be more where those resources came from," Han Li replied with a wave of his hand.

As a Body Integration cultivator, Luo Feng's usefulness had been limited, but now that he had reached the Grand Ascension Stage, he could be entrusted with more important tasks.
