A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 854: Being Trapped

The space here wasn't very tall. In an instant, Han Li approached the top. Looking up at the grayish clouds overhead, he circulated his spiritual power throughout his body. His eyes glowed with blue light as he stopped his light-speed flight.

Under the Mingqing spiritual eye, the clouds in the sky showed a faint blue color. Yet behind these clouds, there was a thin, silver, veil-like substance suspended motionlessly in the high sky.

Could this be the restriction set by the cultivators of the Spiritual Realm? Han Li’s heart stirred. He raised one hand, spread his five fingers, and a blue light orb appeared in his palm.

The next moment, the orb shot forward silently and merged into the clouds.

After a brief moment, Han Li clearly saw that the orb passed through the silver restriction without any problem. Flying more than ten yards ahead, it seemed to hit something and then exploded on its own.

Han Li’s expression relaxed. Instantly, blue spiritual light shimmered around him, and he transformed into an azure rainbow, flying straight into the clouds.

Even though he had tested it earlier, Han Li was still nervous when passing through the silver restriction. Fortunately, he passed through safely without triggering it.

It seemed that the restriction on the Lingmiao Garden ruins was indeed set up specifically against the ancient demons. Han Li wondered if the destruction of this medicinal garden was also somehow related to the ancient demons.

For some reason, this strange thought appeared again in his mind.

After passing the restriction, Han Li naturally felt at ease. He fully opened his spiritual awareness and the Mingqing spiritual eye, carefully inspecting the spatial barrier inch by inch.

In an area several dozen yards wide, he finished his inspection quickly. Nothing abnormal was found.

Han Li calmed down from the excitement of obtaining the spirit medicine and realized that his troubles were probably just beginning.

He lowered his head to look below. The silver restriction, like a light veil, shimmered dazzlingly. After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately decided not to investigate it further.

He still vividly remembered how dangerous the silver flame was. He didn’t want to trigger the restriction for no reason and bring deadly trouble upon himself.

After inspecting the airspace two more times, Han Li sighed deeply, disappointment filling his face as he descended back to the ground.

"Master..."

"Nothing found. It really is completely sealed here, with no exploitable loopholes," Han Li said expressionlessly.

"Doesn’t that mean we might be trapped here forever? Only a cultivator at the transformation spirit realm can create magical abilities that can split open space." Silver Moon also became a bit uneasy.

Han Li didn’t argue but frowned even deeper.

Suddenly, his gaze flickered a few times, then he walked toward one side of the spatial barrier.

Silver Moon was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

When they were a few yards from the spatial barrier, Han Li made no sound, shaking his sleeves. A burst of golden light erupted as dozens of golden flying swords shot out from his sleeves. After forming a hand seal, they quickly gathered above his head, condensing into a golden greatsword about a yard long.

Han Li raised his hand and pointed at the sword.

A loud rumbling thunder sounded. Golden arcs of lightning leapt from the sword as he unhesitatingly activated the evil-repelling divine thunder.

Then, with a slight opening of his mouth, a wisp of purple flame floated out and struck the sword’s blade.

At once, the greatsword shimmered with intertwining purple flames and golden light, continuous thunderclaps booming louder and louder.

Han Li gave a low shout. The greatsword circled at low altitude, then turned into a golden-purple dazzling rainbow, slashing fiercely at the spatial barrier in front of him.

A loud explosion followed. A blinding light orb erupted ahead, shaking the entire space with a loud buzzing.

Han Li hurriedly formed two hand seals. The dazzling rainbow shot back with a “whoosh,” its radiant light dissipating to reform into the greatsword.
