Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

At this moment, Master Hanli looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.

At the same time, in preparation for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, he had already adjusted his condition to the limit.

The current Hanli Master is only one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This mere line is often an insurmountable chasm that ordinary cultivators can never cross.

Without Mu Yu's presence, Master Hanli's attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage ended in failure.

But now... Mu Yu can't say for sure whether he can break through.

After all, Mu Yu showed him some experiences from the Spirit Realm on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, had him use the Void Heaven Cauldron as an aid, and added the Asura Sacred Flame...

But it doesn't matter. Even if the opponent reaches the Nascent Soul stage, Mu Yu is 70-80% confident that he can kill him. At worst, it will only consume one Immortal Extinction Pearl.

Mu Yu can afford this price.

After all, things that don't even have ominous signs when seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune are not dangerous for Mu Yu at all.

"The next day, I will modify the formation to re-gather some of the cold energy."

"And fellow Daoists, you can also take this opportunity to rest for a while."

"Tomorrow, I will still need the help of you fellow Daoists."

"If I am able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I swear on my sect that I will definitely keep my previous promise."

Master Hanli was not quite used to his original body. He had been a dwarf for over a hundred years and now he had to readjust.

Therefore, he told everyone that it would take a day, and emphasized his promise to prevent anyone from having any bad intentions at the most crucial moment.

Faced with Master Hanli's promise, everyone present spoke up to express their sincerity.

Even Mu Yu spoke up:

"Don't worry, as long as you don't lay a hand on me, I have no interest in doing anything to you. After all, I have also received part of the Ice Soul Fairy's inheritance, so naturally I won't do anything to the lineage she left behind."

After receiving Mu Yu's promise, Master Hanli rested peacefully for a day.

Meanwhile, Mu Yu's true form remained hidden in the corner, observing the restrictions within the Xuan Yu Cave.

The material of this Xuan Yu Cave can actually be considered a semi-finished spiritual material. Mu Yu is extremely curious about the restrictions inside.

A day passed quickly, and the array set up by Master Hanli had accumulated a sufficient amount of cold energy.

While everyone was focused on the changes within the formation, Mu Yu noticed that the previously faintly visible exit was now completely closed.

Soon, others also noticed this situation.

"Fellow Daoist Hanli, what's going on?"

An old woman in the crowd spoke up, questioning Master Hanli.

Upon hearing this, the others looked at Master Hanli with increased wariness.

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to worry. It's just that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is of utmost importance, and I'm concerned about being influenced by others."

"Yesterday, I swore an oath in the name of the sect. Isn't that enough?"

"How about I swear by my inner demons now?"

Master Hanli's words were extremely sincere, but everyone present remained silent, creating a very strange atmosphere.

The oath of inner demons has a very strong binding force on cultivators.

It can be said that those who break the oath against their inner demons will inevitably be plagued by inner demons during their future cultivation, making it impossible for them to break through.

But here's the problem: for some cultivators who will no longer cultivate, the oath of inner demons can be completely ignored.

Of course, not cultivating here does not only refer to not cultivating martial arts techniques, but also not cultivating supernatural powers, spells, divine senses and the like.

It can be said that as long as you break the oath of your inner demons, your strength will not be able to improve at all.

If you're unlucky, even using magic might lead to being invaded by inner demons.

These conditions are actually quite demanding.

However, for those who are stuck at a certain level and unable to break through, there are still people who are willing to give up everything to cultivate.

In the human realm, where ascension to the spirit world has become almost legendary, the oath of the heart demon has lost much credibility among cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the reason, it is naturally because several Nascent Soul stage predecessors set some examples.

This is also why Fu Cheng of the Nine Nether Sect took out the Page of the Styx when searching for the Yinzhi Horse.

Of course, at that time, Fu Cheng dared not take out the Page of the Styx for Mu Yu to use.

Mu Yu knew this based on her own memories and Han Li's description.

"It seems you don't have the Page of the Styx anymore, otherwise you wouldn't be so conflicted."

Seeing this, Mu Yu spoke up, breaking the eerie silence.

Upon hearing Mu Yu speak, Master Hanli seemed to have found a lifeline and hurriedly replied:

"Fellow Daoist Mu, do you perhaps possess something like the Pages of the Styx? What conditions would I be willing to pay to borrow it temporarily?"

It was clear that Master Hanli had heard of the name of the Styx Page.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any on hand."

"I did see it on Fu Cheng of the Nine Nether Sect, but unfortunately it's too late now."

"To be honest, I don't really care what you think."

"After all, even if you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I'm probably 30% confident I can kill you."

"How about it? Want to give it a try?"

Mu Yu spoke casually, and although he exaggerated some data, he still completely stunned everyone present.

Can they hear the words "a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator defying the Divine Transformation Realm"?

When they first heard these words, most people suspected that Mu Yu was just putting on an act.

However, considering Mu Yu's battle record and the fact that he was able to interact with old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage on an equal footing, these words don't seem too far-fetched.

After all, how could those old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage possibly be on equal footing with Mu Yu if they didn't have something of their own?

"Well then, since Fellow Daoist Mu has said so, we have no choice but to believe Fellow Daoist Hanli."

The old monk in the crowd suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, even Master Hanli showed a somewhat incredulous expression.

Seeing this, the others hesitated for a moment, and surprisingly, they also agreed.

When Mu Yu saw this, he didn't expect that his casual act would actually help Master Hanli solve this problem.

Upon seeing this, Master Hanli was overjoyed and quickly moved the replica of the Void Heaven Cauldron, the Azure Cauldron, into the formation.

But just as he was about to activate the formation, Master Hanli stopped what he was doing.

After a slight hesitation, Master Hanli actually placed the Qianlan Cauldron back near the entrance and explained:

"This Qianlan Cauldron is the key to opening the Xuanyu Cave here. If we place it at the entrance, you should all feel at ease."

Seeing this, although everyone was confused about what Master Hanli was doing, they were naturally relieved.

"Senior brother... this Qianlan Cauldron can increase your chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. You are now..."

Bai Mengxin, a cultivator within the Xiaoji Palace, naturally couldn't quite understand Hanli Shangren's actions.

After all, in her view, the others had already accepted that reality, and now it was unwise to reduce the probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage for no reason.

In response to Bai Mengxin's reminder, Master Hanli turned his gaze to Mu Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, may I ask what price I would pay to temporarily borrow the Void Heaven Cauldron from you?"

Faced with Hanli Shangren's straightforward question, a hint of appreciation flashed in Mu Yu's eyes.

Sure enough, none of those who reach the Nascent Soul stage are fools; they figured out their own personalities so quickly.

I'm really looking forward to seeing if your choice later will be the same as now, the most correct one.

"I wish to borrow the Void Heaven Cauldron..."

"How about this, tell me the whereabouts of the Solar Essence Fire, and I will lend you the Void Heaven Cauldron."

Mu Yu spoke, transmitting his conditions to Master Hanli.

Master Hanli never expected that Mu Yu would make such a condition. You must know that the Solar Essence Fire was something he was determined to obtain after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Well, if I can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I won't be able to grasp that thing in my current state.

If I couldn't grasp the Solar Essence Fire when I was in the late Nascent Soul stage, how could he possibly do so?

After a moment's thought, Master Hanli agreed to the conditions proposed by Mu Yu.

Next, Master Hanli used a secret technique to inscribe the scenes from his memory onto the jade slip.

Only in this way can we prove that the address given by Master Hanli was not a fabrication.

Sensing the aura emanating from the soul, Mu Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"Han Li, take out the Void Heaven Cauldron and place it in the formation."

"Fellow Daoist Hanli, now teach Han Li the techniques for controlling formations."

"I imagine you won't have time to refine the Void Heaven Cauldron, right?"

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, Master Hanli's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

But in the end, after exchanging a few words with Bai Mengxin, Master Hanli handed over the method of setting up the formation and the related control method to Han Li.

Han Li naturally had no objections to Mu Yu's instructions.

After all, most of the treasures he possesses now were given to him by Mu Yu, and all he had to give up were some worthless green liquid.

In addition, Mu Yu would give Han Li a lot of benefits almost every time he asked him to do something, which Han Li actually looked forward to.

……

After several twists and turns, Master Hanli is finally preparing to formally break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Mu Yu's main body was still studying the restrictions inside the Xuan Yu Cave, while the water-attribute nascent soul was controlling the Asura Sacred Fire, continuously injecting the cold and yin energy into the formation.

Mu Yu's main body was still studying the restrictions inside the Xuan Yu Cave, while the water-attribute nascent soul was controlling the Asura Sacred Fire, continuously injecting the cold and yin energy into the formation.

At the same time, the other five people also released their own icy flames, which condensed around Master Hanli and formed a colorful halo.

At this moment, Master Hanli's nascent soul left his body, and he sat cross-legged on the halo, casting various spells that disappeared into the five-colored halo beneath him.

A series of booming sounds came, and the various hand seals in the hands of the Nascent Soul Master Hanli became even faster.

Driven by numerous spells, the light wheel composed of various colored cold flames suddenly exploded. The various colored cold flames that exploded then intertwined and merged, condensing into a lotus of light.

The lotus flower formed by the cold flames contains six colors: black, white, yellow, red, green, and blue. They appear to be distinct, yet they blend together.

This Frostflame Lotus was enormous, measuring three or four zhang in width. The Nascent Soul of the Cold Li Immortal was hidden in the very center of the lotus, appearing extremely small.

But soon, as the various profound incantations uttered by the Cold Flame Master began to shrink, the lotus flower formed by the cold flames also began to shrink gradually.

Clearly, this lotus flower can only help Hanli Shangren break through to the Nascent Soul stage after it shrinks to a certain size.

Sure enough, as time went by, the lotus flower shrank to about a foot in size, hovering above the head of the Cold Li Immortal, releasing a large amount of milky white light that merged into the Cold Li Immortal's nascent soul.

With things progressing to this point, even Mu Yu was curious whether Han Li Shangren could actually break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Under normal circumstances, Master Hanli would inevitably fail.

This time, in addition to Mu Yu's Asura Sacred Flame providing assistance, Han Li also controlled the Void Heaven Cauldron to aid in the formation's operation.

If they're lucky, this Venerable Hanli might be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

As time went by, the body of the Cold-Li Immortal emitted a faint sandalwood fragrance, a rich aroma mixed with a faint fishy smell.

Mu Yu didn't particularly like this smell, but he also knew it was one of the signs of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, the physical body becoming indestructible...

Upon seeing this, some of the others in the formation began to whisper among themselves.

Mu Yu, like Han Li, activated her Mingqing Spiritual Eye to carefully observe the details inside the human body of Han Li.

Before long, the sandalwood scent emanating from the body of the Cold Li Immortal suddenly became much stronger, and his eyes snapped open, revealing a crimson-gold color.

Looking around somewhat blankly, Master Hanli seemed to only now understand his current state.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and Master Hanli formed a hand seal, instantly taking control of several formations controlled by Han Li.

Immediately afterwards, the people in the formation felt a surge of magical power within their bodies, almost causing it to leak out.

As Mu Yu's water-attribute nascent soul, although it resides in a humanoid puppet, it is essentially only at the mid-stage of the nascent soul realm. Under such attraction, it almost completely lost control.

It was Mu Yu's exceptional insight that allowed him to quietly take over the position of the water-attribute nascent soul, thus resolving the issue of unstable magical power.

After retracting the water-attribute nascent soul into his body, Mu Yu then manipulated the humanoid puppet to leave the array's range.

At the same time, Master Hanli also reached the final stage of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

As the primordial energy of heaven and earth was activated, countless streams of cold energy rushed to merge into the body of Master Hanli.

Seeing this, Mu Yu couldn't help but sigh.

This Master Hanli was careless. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is the initial process of being able to control the primordial energy of heaven and earth. How could he absorb all the cold energy of a single attribute?

But just when Mu Yu thought that Master Hanli was about to fail in his breakthrough, the unstable situation within Master Hanli's body suddenly stabilized.

Immediately afterwards, the spiritual aura emanating from Master Hanli suddenly vanished, leaving him as if he were an ordinary mortal.

It seems that there were no particularly noticeable phenomena when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Or rather, the extraordinary phenomena that occur when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage should be much smaller than those that occur when breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

That's normal. After all, if the phenomena of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage were too conspicuous, then the existence of Nascent Soul stage cultivators wouldn't be a legend in the human realm.

After all, the phenomena of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage are already so obvious; if the phenomena of breaking through to the Deity Transformation stage were even stronger than those of the Nascent Soul stage…

Even though the number of people who break through to the Nascent Soul stage each year is very small, they will naturally be noticed by those who are interested after they break through.

But in fact, no one knew about the existence of the Nascent Soul stage. Even in the Great Jin Dynasty, there were no written records describing any unusual phenomena related to advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Unless they actually meet a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, these people have no idea that Nascent Soul stage cultivators exist.

Witnessing a legendary Nascent Soul cultivator being born before their very eyes was an indescribable feeling for these Core Formation cultivators.

"I managed to break through by sheer luck... I really have to thank everyone for their help!"

At this moment, Master Hanli's face was filled with confidence and pride.

After successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, not only will the crisis that Xiaoji Palace is about to face be easily resolved, but he himself will also be able to enjoy another thousand years of carefree time.

"Fellow Daoist Hanli, now that you have broken through, shouldn't you release the formation so that we can return to the secret chamber made of Sun Essence Gold and recover our energy?"

Han Li spoke, interrupting Han Li Shangren's proud expression.

"There's no rush..."

"I still have some matters to attend to, Fellow Daoist Han... I wonder if it would be possible to return this Void Heaven Cauldron to our Lesser Extreme Palace?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Han Li's eyes.

Now, Han Li has refined the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords into Geng Metal. After setting up the complete Great Geng Sword Formation, Han Li is confident that he can protect himself in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Not to mention, there's also Mu Yu, whose strength far surpasses his.

"It seems you've also taken a liking to these magical treasures I have!"

"I never imagined that after I helped you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you would try to steal my treasure. Human nature has truly deteriorated!"

Mu Yu spoke calmly, her tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Instinctively, Master Hanli sensed that something was amiss.

If he were still at the late Nascent Soul stage, he naturally wouldn't do anything foolish.

However, it is clear that the confidence he has gained after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage has made him ignore the slight sense of crisis that has arisen in his heart.

"There's nothing I can do; it's up to you, fellow Daoist, to ask me for the location of the Solar Essence Fire."

"Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it hard to resist the temptation of a rare item that can be refined into True Yang Water."

Upon hearing the telepathic message from Master Hanli, Mu Yu's lips curled into a mocking smile.

At this moment, Mu Yu was too lazy to say anything more to Master Hanli.

Since Master Hanli succeeded in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage because of me, let's get everything back on track.

Anyway... a Nascent Soul stage cultivator isn't necessarily someone who can't be killed.

"Guess whether I can... kill you, a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Azure Origin Sword Formation...Activate!"
