The Long Journey to Immortality

A spell similar to illusion was cast by this light in Han Lu's sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to confuse her and make her believe that the human cultivator who cast the spell was the master.

Such a low-level illusion technique, when used in front of Han Lu who possesses the bloodline of the Illusionary Phoenix, is somewhat like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.

However, it was precisely this sudden external stimulus that made Han Lu, who was fast asleep, feel as if someone had stuffed a lively alarm clock into her head, which kept making loud noises, and startled her awake.

After demonstrating the taming techniques she had learned from a secret manual, the female cultivator withdrew her hand. Unaware of the telepathic connection between herself and the true spirit before her, she couldn't help but feel somewhat uneasy.

"Could it be that this trick can only be used on ordinary demons and spirit beasts, and has no effect on legendary true spirits?"

Just as she was worrying, the transparent cocoon suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon.

Immediately afterwards, the phoenix that had been lying on the ground suddenly let out a cry, spread its wings, and awoke from its slumber.

This sudden change startled the female cultivator, who took three steps back, stumbling and nearly falling to the ground, her expression one of panic.

After sleeping for a full twenty-one days, Han Lu felt good as she experienced changes in herself.

After making two more cheerful sounds, Han Lu finally noticed the outsider who had mistakenly entered the temporary cave she had set up.

With her phoenix eyes fixed on the unfamiliar female cultivator not far away, Han Lu did not rush to use her methods to punish this uninvited outsider.

On the contrary, although she had fallen into a deep sleep, she knew very well that it was because of this female cultivator that she was able to wake up from her slumber.

Just like several years ago when she helped Feng Rubing escape from Nirvana.

From a certain perspective, this outsider who was only at the Qi Refining stage could be considered her benefactor, as he had given her considerable help.

Therefore, Han Lu stopped pretending to be a true spirit, circulated her cultivation technique, and transformed back into human form.

This time, however, she was more careful and changed her phoenix feather robe into a veil, covering half of her face.

After merging with the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix, Han Lu's appearance changed not only in her True Spirit state, but also in her human form.

A few strands of her originally jet-black hair had turned wine-red, as if the hairdresser had used his highlighting technique on Han Lu's head.

Noticing the wisp of wine-red hair hanging down, Han Lu casually curled it a couple of times, played with it for a bit, and then tidied it up to the side.

The true spirit appeared, was awakened by her, and then transformed back into human form. This series of changes almost dislocated the female cultivator's jaw.

Seeing the slightly bewildered female cultivator, Han Lu adopted a superior demeanor and asked directly, "You did me a small favor by waking me from my slumber. I can promise you a small favor. What do you want? Spirit stones? Magic treasures? Or something else?"

Han Lu felt that the Qi Refining female cultivator in front of her wouldn't ask for an exorbitant price.

Even if she made a request that Han Lu couldn't fulfill, she would barge into Han Lu's secluded cultivation place under the pretext of giving the cultivator a few spirit stones to send her away.

As soon as Han Lu finished speaking, the boulder that had sealed the Spirit Stone Cave shattered into countless pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the two male cultivators who had been chasing the female cultivator for a full quarter of an hour finally entered the cave.

"Huh? Senior brother, I remember the female cultivator we were chasing didn't have breasts this big."

"Also, why are there two people here?"

Seeing that the two villains had finally found her, the female cultivator hurriedly said, "Senior, save me! I was chased here by these two and ended up here by mistake. I only beg you to help me get rid of this trouble and kill these two."

Noticing that the two new cultivators were also only at the Qi Refining stage, Han Lu said without hesitation, "Alright, I'll take care of this for you."

Chapter 305 Stand still

Han Lu's gaze swept over the three people through her veil for a moment, and she thought to herself, "It shouldn't be anything complicated, they're just greedy..."

Although she only exchanged a single sentence with the female cultivator who had intentionally woken her up, Han Lu could roughly guess what had happened between the three Qi Refining cultivators in front of her.

The sudden appearance of a strange cultivator trying to interfere in their treasure hunt made the two fellow disciples who had been chasing the female cultivator feel a sense of crisis.

The two men couldn't discern the exact cultivation level of the white-robed, masked, large-breasted female cultivator, let alone the fact that the green-robed female cultivator had used such an intimidating title as "senior."

Naturally, both of them immediately realized that things were going to go wrong after understanding the situation, and that their lives might even be in danger.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their code of conduct. At this moment, the female cultivator in green robes who had been chased earlier found an unassailable backer, and the two of them had the same idea of ​​getting away from this matter.

Before the busty female cultivator could make a move, the two women spoke up at the same time, trying to explain the situation and plead for their own lives.

The junior brother, being more articulate, spoke first, saying, "This junior, Zhaotianzhai Xinghai, was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have mistakenly entered your place of seclusion. I hope you will forgive me and beg you to show mercy and let me go. I will kowtow to express my gratitude and leave immediately."

He spoke fluently and clearly, believing that he had not provoked the unfathomable, busty female cultivator in front of him. He thought that as long as he brought up his sect identity and was willing to admit defeat, he would be able to get away.

Xinghai's senior brother, Duan Shiliu, speaks in a more short-sighted way.

He believed in the saying, "Great minds are tolerant," and thought that the busty female cultivator in front of him should be a magnanimous person. He thought that by making things complicated and using two mouths to deal with one mouth, he could not only get away but also successfully obtain the magic treasure from the female cultivator in green.

“Senior, this is not what this petty thief said.”

"Actually, we are disciples of Zhaotianzhai. A thief from your side stole two magical treasures from Zhaotianzhai. We chased after him and ended up here by mistake."

"I hope that you, senior, can listen to the three of us have a few words of our confrontation, understand the situation, and then make a decision."

The Zhaotianzhai they mentioned was the only sect in the vicinity of this deep mountain forest.

Han Lu watched the two perform expressionlessly, without saying a word to them or clarify the matter.

How you got here, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is none of my business, and I don't care.

"But I promised..." Han Lu then realized that she didn't know the name of the female cultivator beside her. "She wanted to grant her a small wish."

"Perfect, my wish is for you all to die here."

"So, there's no need to say more. Instead of wasting time on this, you should think of your last words and strike a nice pose so you don't leave yourself with too many regrets."

Han Lu rambled on for a while, finding a plausible reason for herself and declaring that the two of them had given up on each other.

Upon hearing Han Lu's words, Xinghai and Duan Shiliu couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

Xinghai subconsciously took half a step back, his voice trembling, as he knelt and kowtowed to Han Lu, saying, "Senior, spare my life, senior, spare my life, just let this junior go like a fart."

Duan Shiliu saw that Han Lu had made up her mind, and instantly hardened her resolve, thinking of finding a way to escape.

"Junior brother, stop begging for mercy. This woman looks ruthless and will definitely not leave us any way out."

"It's better to fight to the death than to sit and wait for death."

"This woman has been spouting so much nonsense; she's probably just putting on an act. If the two of us brothers join forces, we might not be without a fighting chance."

Han Lu almost burst out laughing when she heard this.

Having just merged with the Fire Phoenix bloodline, she believed her strength had reached a new level.

At this moment, she felt that even though she was fighting in human form, she had the ability to fight against ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators with her many "True Spirit Divine Powers".

Dealing with two juniors whose cultivation level is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining would probably only take three breaths to make their souls disappear.

Suppressing her laughter, Han Lu maintained her aloof demeanor as a senior expert, saying, "That's laughable. You two might as well give it a try. If the fight is interesting, I might leave you with a whole corpse."

Han Lu's words seemed more and more like a bluff in the Duan Shiliu circle, and Xinghai, who had just felt that he had reached a dead end, felt that he had seen a glimmer of hope to live.

"Junior brother!" Duan Shiliu patted his storage bag, took out a silver needle magic weapon, and said, "Quick, fight alongside me and finish off this big-breasted, brainless woman."

Having already made up his mind, Xinghai didn't hesitate at all and took out his magic weapon, the spirit sword, from his storage bag.

The two were clearly working together to commit this kind of murder and robbery several times.

Before Duan Shiliu could speak again, the two of them simultaneously activated their magical weapons, sending a sword and a needle hurtling towards Han Lu with lightning speed.

Seeing that the two magical treasures were just ordinary low-grade magical tools, Han Lu didn't even bother to dodge or use spells to defend herself.

Coincidentally, with the addition of a new Phoenix True Spirit bloodline, the grade of Han Lu's Phoenix Feather Robe has been significantly improved. She wanted to take this opportunity to test the strength of the robe.

Seeing that Han Lu had no reaction to the attack, the female cultivator behind Han Lu became anxious.

She thought Han Lu was blindfolded by the veil and hadn't noticed the two magical weapons attacking her. In her panic, she shouted, "Senior, be careful!"

But what happened next startled her so much that she almost dislocated her jaw.

The two radiant magical artifacts seemed incredibly powerful, but they were thwarted when they collided with Han Lu's ordinary white clothes.

With two muffled thuds, Xinghai and Duanshiliu's magical treasures lost their luster and fell to the ground.

The silver needle is alright; it's just bent, and there's still a possibility of repair.

Xinghai's spirit sword broke in two with a single strike.

Even if it were melted down and recast, it wouldn't be salvageable.

"This..." Xinghai looked at the spirit sword on the ground, feeling a heartbreaking sound coming from within him.

Duan Shiliu was even more decisive. Seeing that Han Lu had neutralized their magic attacks while simply standing there, he turned and ran without a second thought.

"Since you're already here, don't leave."

With a wave of her hand, Han Lu caused the seven battle flags that were originally stuck in the ground to fly into the air.

The seven array flags were randomly combined into a simple formation and placed at the only exit from the temporary cave dwelling.

The formation was activated, and an invisible wall appeared. Duan Shiliu, who had just used the Lightness Technique, didn't have time to stop and crashed headfirst into the invisible wall with a "bang".

Having performed a series of impressive feats, Han Lu was quite pleased with her skill in controlling the weapon, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Stand still," Han Lu said, extending her right hand and revealing two dark red flames in her palm. "Help me try out this new move. Consider it a good deed for the two of you before you leave this world."

Chapter 306 Playing with Fire

Feng Bailu was once a cultivator with both wood and fire spiritual roots, so fire-attribute spells were not too unfamiliar to Han Lu.

However, the two spiritual flames she was currently unleashing were completely different from the fire-attribute spells cast by ordinary cultivators.

This is a Fire Phoenix True Spirit Divine Power that she awakened after using the Harmony Secret Technique and fusing with the Fire Phoenix bloodline; it is called Fire Phoenix True Flame.

Han Lu had no idea how powerful the True Flame was, since she had learned the move on her own. She had even just randomly chosen the name for it.

Given this situation, it's no wonder she would consider trying out this new technique on the two cultivators in front of her who she had sentenced to death.

After all, only by understanding just how powerful this move is and what its effects are can one use it at the right time in future battles against cultivators of the same or even higher levels.

The two flames danced in Han Lu's palm for a moment before she pushed them away, sending them flying towards two Zhaotianzhai cultivators who were looking at her with horrified expressions.

"Water breaks fire!"

After muttering something to himself, Xinghai subconsciously used a water-attribute spell to create a water wall in front of himself and Duan Shiliu, trying to block the two flames that Han Lu had sent to them.

However, how could the ordinary methods of a Qi Refining cultivator possibly withstand the True Spirit Divine Power unleashed by Han Lu? Even if this True Spirit Divine Power was something Han Lu had just mastered and was used in human form.

The two flames struck Xinghai, who then used a water wall defense.

But the water blocking their path seemed to be made of oil rather than water, and it was completely ignited by the flames unleashed by Han Lu.
