Chapter 876: Keeping a Distance
Four years later, inside the secluded mansion on the main peak of the Mother and Son Peak, the beautiful woman transformed from Silver Moon waited outside the long-unopened secret chamber.
Yesterday, while using green liquid to expedite the ripening of spirit medicine, she suddenly heard Han Li’s spiritual awareness transmitting sound. Thus, today she waited here for Han Li to emerge from seclusion.
The door of the closed-door cultivation room, which had not been opened for several years, did not keep Silver Moon waiting long. Finally, with a creak, it slowly rose.
Silver Moon’s bright eyes shifted as she looked up. But Han Li’s figure did not appear inside; instead, a dark, gloomy dark wind suddenly blew out, accompanied by a low chuckle. Suddenly, a black cloud about a zhang wide shot out from inside, flashing and rushing straight toward Silver Moon.
Startled, Silver Moon quickly retreated several steps, her lovely face paling as she gazed at the object.
The black cloud suddenly stopped, shining pitch-black and glossy like black silk.
“This is…” Silver Moon’s thoughts shifted slightly, her heart faintly guessing something.
“Well? Having cultivated the second nascent soul to this degree, it should be considered a great success, right?” The black cloud suddenly condensed and transformed, instantly becoming a black-green infant about an inch tall, speaking human words.
“Congratulations, Master, on the great achievement of your magical abilities!” Silver Moon smiled sweetly, then respectfully bowed to the nascent soul and said.
This nascent soul looked just like Han Li’s original nascent soul, except it was somewhat smaller; the appearance and demeanor were otherwise identical.
“To have fully refined the second nascent soul so quickly, it really exceeded my expectations. But after its formation, there’s indeed a strange feeling,” a familiar voice came from inside the secret chamber. Han Li’s figure finally appeared at the entrance and stepped out.
At this moment, the black-green nascent soul grinned and shot towards Han Li, circling before settling atop Han Li’s hair bun.
“One person possessing two autonomous nascent souls naturally feels different from before. But as long as Master gets used to it, everything will be fine,” Silver Moon looked up to appraise Han Li and smiled gently.
“Oh! Judging by your tone, it seems you know something about this second nascent soul. Could it be that you remember related information?” Han Li’s gaze flickered with interest.
“This little maid isn’t quite sure. I don’t know why I just blurted it out. Maybe I truly knew some similar magical abilities in the past,” Silver Moon responded honestly, slightly stunned.
Hearing this explanation from Silver Moon, Han Li nodded silently without saying more. Yet the nascent soul atop his head suddenly flipped its tiny hand and produced a small banner, playing with it.
The object was pitch-black and glossy — it was the Yin Luo Banner soaked in demonic energy!
“Master’s second nascent soul looks like it has cultivated a demonic path cultivation technique,” Silver Moon couldn’t help but ask after seeing this.
“Since the second nascent soul has been formed, it naturally needs to have some magical abilities. But it doesn’t have its own physical body, so it can’t cultivate cultivation techniques independently. I first used my own body and the pure demonic energy in the Yin Luo Banner to help it cultivate some profound yin great technique’s mysterious transformation skill. As for whether it will truly have a physical body, I am still hesitating. Having a body makes the second nascent soul very susceptible to backlash. I must proceed with great caution,” Han Li frowned upon hearing Silver Moon’s question and explained.
Then he patted the top of his head with one hand, a flash of dark light appeared, and the nascent soul vanished into his head.
But Han Li’s spiritual awareness clearly saw that in his dantian, where the main nascent soul sat cross-legged, the second nascent soul was also sitting cross-legged opposite, quietly meditating.
