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

Chapter 429: Withered Vine

Han Li made a hand seal, and his azure sword lotus flower instantly descended upon the starry light barrier while revolving incessantly.

Countless streaks of formidable sword qi were released from the sword lotus flower, raining down upon the restriction, while Patriarch Cold Flame summoned the same set of flying dagger spirit treasures as before.

The 12 flying daggers then instantly swelled to over 1,000 feet in size each at his behest, and they came crashing down upon the restriction with astonishing might.

The starry light barrier was extremely resilient, but it wasn't able to withstand this joint barrage from Han Li's duo for long, and it was only a short while before the light barrier was shattered to reveal what was underneath. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

Beneath the light barrier were around a dozen blue spirit plants, each of which was several feet tall.

The stems and leaves of these spirit plants were all glittering and translucent, as if they had been fashioned out of some type of semi-transparent blue jade, and they were also giving off radiant starlight.

Much to Han Li's surprise, these blue spirit plants hadn't been taken by the person who had passed through this place before them.

A surprised look had also appeared on Lu Yuqing's face, while Patriarch Cold Flame's expression remained unchanged, indicating that he seemed to have already anticipated this.

These are Starlight Herbs!

A hint of elation flashed through Han Li's eyes as he identified these blue spirit plants.

This was a type of renowned spirit plant that contained starpower gathered from countless nights of exposure to starlight, resulting in the accumulation of extremely pure starpower, thereby making it an exceptional ingredient for refining starpower-related pills.

Judging from their size, they had to have been at least 500,000 years of age.

If he could get his hands on even just one or two of these Starlight Herbs and refine them into pills, then that would drastically shorten the amount of time it would take for him to cultivate the second half of the Great Universe Origin Arts.

Right at this moment, a streak of light suddenly flew past him, then enveloped all of the Starlight Herbs before uprooting them and sending them flying toward Patriarch Cold Flame.

He then immediately stowed all of the Starlight Herbs away without any hesitation, and Han Li's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but he didn't say anything.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Han. If you require my assistance for anything, please feel free to call upon me," Patriarch Cold Flame said with a smile, making no mention of splitting the Starlight Herbs between them.

Han Li turned to look at Patriarch Cold Flame in silence, while Lu Yuqing's brows furrowed slightly as she protested, "Fellow Daoist Cold Flame, you and Brother Han worked together to..."

Han Li raised a hand to cut her off before she could finish her sentence.

"Fellow Daoist Cold Flame was the one who discovered these Starlight Herbs first, so they naturally belong to him. There's no need to dwell on this matter," Han Li said in an indifferent voice, then turned and began to make his way toward the plot of land in the innermost section of the medicine garden.

Lu Yuqing took a cold glance at Patriarch Cold Flame, then departed behind Han Li.

Patriarch Cold Flame also followed along with a gleeful look in his eyes.

Having interacted with Han Li on multiple past occasions, he had developed a decent grasp of Han Li's personality and character. His original plan was for Han Li to bring up the matter of splitting the Starlight Herbs, in which case he would oblige, but in the process make Han Li owe him a favor so that he could continue to leverage Han Li's assistance.

The two Dao Warriors immediately obliged, beginning to collect the spirit soil in the area, and Patriarch Cold Flame's expression changed slightly upon seeing this as he also swept a sleeve through the air to collect some of the dark purple mud beside him.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuqing was looking on with slightly furrowed brows, seemingly rather disgusted by the dark purple mud.

Han Li took a glance at Patriarch Cold Flame, then turned his attention to the center of the plot of land, where there was another hemispherical purple light barrier, this one far smaller than the previous one.

He flew over to the light barrier, followed closely by Lu Yuqing, and Patriarch Cold Flame also hurriedly followed along.

This purple light barrier was identical to the one from before, except it was far smaller and nowhere near as formidable.

Han Li was able to break the light barrier with his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords without having to rely on the Great Five-elemental True Light, and a purple stone altar that was around 10 feet tall was revealed.

The altar had been entirely constructed from a type of purple crystal, and there were lightning patterns engraved upon it, seemingly forming some type of profound array.

At the top of the stone altar was yet another purple light barrier that resembled a box that concealed the top of the altar, making it impossible to see what was inside.

"How many layers of restrictions are there?" Lu Yuqing couldn't help but complain.

All of a sudden, Han Li noticed that there were two humanoid puppets laying on the ground beside the stone altar.

The puppets were dark golden in color, and they were identical to the copper puppet that Han Li had encountered while securing the Great Universe Origin Arts.

However, one of the puppets had been split in half down the middle lengthwise, while the other had been decapitated, and both of them were laying on the ground in a lifeless fashion.

The wounds on the puppets appeared to be quite fresh, clearly indicating that they had been inflicted not long ago.

Han Li's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this.

As expected, this place had already been visited as well, so whatever treasure on the stone altar had to have already been taken.

The same thought had clearly also occurred to Patriarch Cold Flame and Lu Yuqing, and a hint of dismay appeared on both of their faces.

Han Li shook his head with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, then turned his attention back to the pair of copper puppets. In particular, his gaze lingered on the decapitated puppet as a peculiar look flashed through his eyes.

In the next instant, he swept a sleeve through the air to release a burst of azure light, which swept up the pair of puppets before stowing them away.

With these two puppets, particularly the decapitated one, which still had a completely intact core, Daoist Xie would surely be able to scrounge together a complete, functional puppet.

Han Li had witnessed the power of these copper puppets, and they would definitely be of great assistance to him in battle.

Patriarch Cold Flame's brows furrowed slightly with displeasure upon seeing this, but he quickly reverted back to a neutral expression.

After gathering the puppets, Han Li flicked a finger toward the stone altar, releasing a pair of azure flying swords that swept over the purple light barrier.

The restriction wasn't all that powerful, so it was torn apart with ease, revealing a wooden frame, around which was wound a long vine that still hadn't been taken, much to Han Li's surprise.

However, the vine had withered away, and it seemed to have perished long ago.
