Chapter 130: Familiar
Right at this moment, a burst of azure light suddenly appeared on the dark azure chain, and a series of tiny dark azure runes emerged, releasing a burst of strange law fluctuations.
At the same time, Han Li felt a burst of strong suction force act upon the pair of translucent hands that were manifested from his spiritual sense, and both his magic power and spiritual sense began to quickly seep out, as if they were being drawn into the chains before being sealed away.
His eyes immediately sprang open as a hint of alarm on his face, and his Earthly Deity Avatar switched to a different hand seal at his behest before pointing both of its index fingers at his dantian.
A burst of water-attribute power of laws instantly flowed into his dantian, forming a blue light barrier that closed in on the dark azure chain before completely enveloping it.
The runes on the surface of the chain were instantly isolated within the blue light barrier, and the peculiar fluctuations that it was releasing also began to wane.
Right at this moment, a burst of light flashed within Han Li's eyes, following which a series of animalistic cries rang out from within his body.
Immediately thereafter, several balls of golden light erupted out of his body, then transformed into a series of palm-sized projections that included an ape, a phoenix, a Lightning Bird, and a peacock, among others. The projections circled around Han Li momentarily, then flew into his dantian in a flash.
After flying into his dantian, the projections instantly elongated to form a series of glowing hands that grabbed tightly onto the dark azure chain.
"Get out!"
Han Li let loose a low roar through gritted teeth as he endured the excruciating pain shooting through his nascent soul, and all of the hands in his dantian glowed brightly as they tugged on the chain with all their might in unison.
A string of loud clangs rang out incessantly as the runes on the dark azure chain finally began to explode one after another in the face of the tremendous pulling force being exerted upon it, and the chain itself was slowly and agonizingly dragged out of his nascent soul.
As soon as the chain was pulled out of Han Li's nascent soul, it immediately began to writhe and struggle violently like a living creature, doing everything in its power to re-enter the nascent soul.
Han Li harrumphed coldly as dazzling light flashed from the hands locked around the chain in his dantian, and they reverted back into their true spirit projection forms before grabbing onto the chain with their claws, paws, talons, and jaws, then forcibly dragged the chain out of his lower abdomen.
After emerging from Han Li's body, the chain was revealed to be around as thick as an infant's arm, and it was only roughly 10 feet in length. Most of the dark runes on its surface had already faded, but it was still giving off faint law fluctuations incessantly.
Han Li immediately flipped a hand over to produce a white jade box that he had prepared in advance, then grabbed the chain before placing it into the box.
A crisp snap then rang out as the lid of the box was placed tightly over it.
Immediately thereafter, Han Li pulled out a silver talisman before plastering it onto the box.
A burst of gentle silver light flashed from the talisman to envelop the entire jade box, and the aura of the chain within the box was completely contained, severing its connection with the outside world in its entirety.
Only after doing all of that did Han Li heave a long sigh of relief, and he beckoned toward the true spirit projections circling around him, upon which they immediately flew into his body and disappeared.
Right at this moment, a surge of warmth appeared in Han Li's dantian. It wasn't very intense, but it carried an indescribable sense of familiarity.
He faltered slightly upon feeling this sensation, then directed his spiritual sense back into his dantian to discover that the golden nascent soul inside had finally awakened from its slumber, and it was inspecting its surroundings with wide eyes.
The golden light radiating from its body was slightly dim, indicating that it seemed to have also been severely damaged during the process that had just taken place.
Furthermore, a series of wave-like azure ripples had appeared beneath it, looking much like water splashing out of a fountain.
Han Li knew that this was the magic power that he had been deprived of for the past several centuries!
The influx of magic power seemed to be quite gentle and feeble, but it wasn't going to take long before his entire dantian was filled.
With the seal on his nascent soul removed, an enormous weight had been lifted from Han Li's shoulders. He slowly opened his eyes as he looked up at the sky, and an elated smile appeared on his face to reflect the emotions in his heart.
Several days passed by in a flash, and the large silver flags around the courtyard had already been withdrawn but Han Li still remained inside.
One day at around noon, a streak of light suddenly sped up into the sky, reaching an incredible altitude in no more than the blink of an eye. The streak of light was so fast that many people on the island caught a glimpse of it, but no one was able to see it clearly.
The streak of light flew over to an uninhabited part of the sea that was quite far away from Dark Veil Island, then faded to reveal none other than Han Li.
At this moment, his robes were flapping audibly in the wind, and he was giving off an astonishingly powerful aura, having already recovered his early-True Immortal Stage cultivation base.
He had thought that the surge of warmth flowing back into his dantian was his magic power returning to him, but only on this day, after the process had concluded, did he come to realize that his dantian was actually filled with immortal spiritual power rather than magic power.
He was ecstatic at this discovery, and he came all the way here with the intention of testing out his powers.
He let loose a joyful cry as silver light flashed all over his body, and a burst of dazzling lightning erupted forth in all directions, encompassing the entire surrounding area in a radius of several thousand feet.
Countless arcs of silver lightning were flashing incessantly through the air while springing erratically over the surface of the sea, and some were even shooting into the water from thousands of feet up in the sky.
A series of massive waves that were hundreds of feet tall were instantly swept up over the surface of the sea as if the water had been brought to a boil.
Han Li then suddenly removed the Heaven Controlling Vial from around his neck before tossing it through the air, and it began to glow with dazzling green light, then abruptly vanished into the thin air after revolving on the spot for a brief moment.
In the next instant, gusts of fierce wind suddenly began to sweep over the surface of the sea, and a series of five-colored spirit clouds appeared.
The sound of rumbling thunderclaps rang out despite the clear skies, and a massive vial opening that threatened to swallow up the heavens emerged from the spirit clouds like a wyrm rearing its head, then trembled slightly before releasing a torrent of countless dark green runes.
In the instant that the runes surged out of the opening of the vial, they immediately transformed into clouds of azure mist that exploded one after another.
A burst of extremely powerful law fluctuations instantly encompassed the entire area, following which more thunderous rumbling rang out.
The entire space shuddered slightly, and all of the air within a radius of several thousand feet tightened at once as countless arcs of silver lightning rapidly contracted, converging toward the five-colored spirit clouds.
Immediately thereafter, the waves that were rising up from the surface of the sea became even taller, forming enormous pillars of seawater that resembled soaring wyrms as they rose up into the sky in a twisting fashion.
However, regardless of whether it was the lightning or the seawater, all of it would instantly be reduced to powder upon reaching within 10,000 feet of the vial opening before being sucked away by a burst of invisible suction force.
Within mere moments, all of the silver lightning in the sky had been completely sucked in, leaving only the hundreds of enormous pillars of seawater still rising up incessantly toward the heavens.
A contemplative look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this.
All of a sudden, he raised a hand, and all of the five-colored spirit clouds in the sky began to blur before gradually fading away, leaving only a small green vial that slowly descended from the heavens.
At the same time, the seawater that had already risen into the sky instantly scattered, having lost the force that had drawn them up there in the first place, and as the vast volumes of seawater came crashing down, more enormous waves were swept up over the surface of the sea.
After withdrawing the Heaven Controlling Vial, Han Li gently stroked the patterns on its surface with his fingers, and judging from his expression, he seemed to have fallen into deep thought.
Only after a long while did a peculiar look appear on his face as he murmured to himself, "Now that I already possess immortal spiritual power, I should give that a try. Perhaps I'll be able to recover some of my lost memories."
With that, a surge of warmth instantly rose up within his dantian, and immortal spiritual power flowed through the meridians in his body before quickly gushing into the Heaven Controlling Vial through the palm of his hand.
A burst of dark green light instantly lit up from his palm, and initially, it was rather dim, but it quickly brightened.
As the light radiating from the small vial gradually brightened, it also began to tremble violently.
Moments later, the burst of light had already spread through the air like a scintillating green sun, illuminating most of the surrounding sea with bright green radiance.
As the light grew brighter and brighter, the tremors also grew more and more intense, as if the vial were trying to fly out of Han Li's grasp.
Right as Han Li was on the verge of losing his grip on the vial, a burst of green light suddenly flashed from its opening, following which it released a vast expanse of dark green runes.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he instantly directed his attention toward the runes.
As it turned out, these runes were an incantation composed from golden seal text, [1] and they were hovering within the green light as if they had been carved out of jade, giving off a peculiar aura.
A grim look appeared on Han Li's face as he read the passage of golden seal text, following which he suddenly began to chuckle with amusement as he murmured to himself, "Looks like I already tried something similar to this before I lost my memories."
After that, he stroked a finger over the surface of the vial, and all of the dark green runes instantly flowed back into the vial as a burst of azure qi.
Han Li then tossed the vial high up into the air before chanting the incantation that he had just read.
At the same time, he pointed a finger up at the opening of the vial, continuing to inject immortal spiritual power into it.
As the mysterious incantation rang out, all of the world's origin qi in the surrounding area seemed to have been mobilized, and it began to ripple and resonate with the incantation in a strange fashion.
A peculiar azure light barrier that resembled a constantly expanding ball of azure light slowly swelled in all directions, encompassing an area with a radius of several hundred kilometers and isolating it from the outside world.
Right at this moment, a burst of blue light suddenly appeared on Han Li's body, and a humanoid figure emerged involuntarily beside him. It was none other than his Earthly Deity Avatar.
Blue light was flashing above its head, within which were a series of extremely thin blue threads that were releasing clear law fluctuations.
