Chapter 450: Manifestation
“Enough, stop with the nonsense. You help me find that Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng first. Then we can eliminate that brat, and you’ll gain a physical body,” the revered master of the mysterious bones said coldly, cutting off the conversation.
“No problem! With our combined 'spirit searching great method,' finding a spiritual ginseng is a piece of cake,” the man said disdainfully.
“Then get started!” With those words, the revered master of the mysterious bones’ face darkened as he flicked his sleeve downward.
Two slender strands of black energy shot out from his sleeve in a flash. The moment they touched the ground, they tunneled underground without hesitation and disappeared from sight.
At the same time, a faint green light flashed quickly from beneath his feet and vanished.
The revered master of the mysterious bones himself floated in the low air, brows furrowed and eyes closed, motionless.
...
Elsewhere, on a clearing near Stone Mountain, Han Li was twirling a yellow formation flag in his hand. His expression was calm but his eyes flickered uncertainly, as if contemplating something, a hint of hesitation visible between his brows.
Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a yellow light shot out. The small flag in his hand was firmly planted into the ground.
“Although nothing seems wrong with this formation flag, do you really think I’d have no precautions at all?” Han Li muttered to himself, a faint cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he reached into his storage pouch and pulled out more than a dozen similar yellow little flags, all exuding a strong earth spiritual energy.
Looking at these sparkling little flags, a strange expression flickered across Han Li’s face.
...
Not long after, on the other side, the revered master of the mysterious bones suddenly opened his eyes.
The two black energies and the green light shot up simultaneously from the ground and flew straight into his body.
“Found it. The Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng really knows how to hide. Its true form is nestled in a crevice of a huge boulder. If you’re not careful, it’s hard to discover,” the deep-voiced man inside the master’s mind said with some pride.
“Good, as long as it’s found! Now let me see if that brat has set up the formation flags properly and fallen into the trap. Be careful not to reveal yourself recklessly, or the other side might discover you,” the revered master of the mysterious bones cautioned solemnly.
“Don’t worry. The shape transformation technique I use cannot be detected unless it’s the spiritual awareness of a nascent soul stage cultivator. And if you can’t subdue the other party later, don’t expect me to step in to help! His golden thunder bamboo is the bane of my formless fierce soul. I don’t want to be completely wiped out by the evil-repelling divine thunder,” the man said, as if giving a blunt warning upfront.
“Hmph! Dealing with a foundation formation early-stage junior like him doesn’t require your help. I’ll only act if I’m absolutely confident in dealing with him. And you don’t need to fear any evil-repelling divine thunder. During our recent battle, the golden thunder bamboo flying swords had just been used not long ago. Even if there was residual divine thunder stored in the magical treasures, it would have been exhausted passing through the ghost mist. His golden thunder bamboo flying swords are no longer formidable. However, during our fight, the golden and silver beetle swarms he released did make me wary. With all my experience, I still don’t know the true nature of those insects. That’s strange. Although I don’t know what kind of spiritual insects they are, I guess they must be somewhat stronger than ordinary ones!” the revered master of the mysterious bones said calmly.
“Oh! Without the evil-repelling divine thunder, this guy isn’t much of a threat. I’ll decide whether to intervene based on the situation,” the man said with relaxed tone.
