Chapter 880: Each with Their Own Intentions
The nascent soul stage Tuwo immortal master, whose physical body had been destroyed that day, had part of his lingering soul attached to the split nascent soul and escaped. However, the mature golddevourer worm connected to his primordial spirit, without a master’s command, was easily captured by Han Li—who was familiar with the worm’s habits—using his secondary nascent soul and sealed within a jade box.
Originally, Han Li had planned to study the differences between the mature golddevourer worm and his own worm during some free time later. But now, with his cultivation base greatly reduced, he had to deal with this worm as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the mature worm’s magical abilities far exceeded his expectations and it broke free from the seal, the trouble would be immense.
With his current cultivation base, it would be almost impossible to capture the worm again.
Thinking this through, Han Li took a deep breath and suddenly produced several formation flags of different colors in his palm.
With a light flick of his fingers, the flags shot out in all directions. A protective sealing shield, about three meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air inside the carriage.
Han Li placed the jade box flat on his lap and slowly closed his eyes.
Black light flickered above his head, and a black-green nascent soul emerged at his crown. Rubbing his hands together, the pitch-black Yin Luo Banner appeared in the nascent soul's hands.
This demonic banner, originally entrusted to his secondary nascent soul for refining and control, had now become his only magical treasure not restricted by the Five Ghosts Locking the Spirit Great Technique.
The golddevourer worm’s body was impervious to water and fire, and immune to blades and spears. The only way to kill it was to use the pure demonic energy within the Yin Luo Banner to extract the worm’s primordial spirit and then refine it into the banner’s primordial yin demonic head for control.
The exact method of refining had already been obtained that day from the elder of the Yin Luo Sect’s spiritual awareness.
Of course, this process would not be completed quickly.
If it weren’t for the severe damage to the worm’s master’s primordial spirit, which left the worm on the brink of death, Han Li wouldn’t dare to attempt such a plan.
He was extremely wary of the mature golddevourer worm.
But precisely because of this caution, he had already set up the sealing formation, fearing any mishaps.
At that moment, the black-green nascent soul tossed the small banner in its hand upwards, transforming it into a demonic cloud about thirty centimeters wide, floating motionless. The nascent soul then leapt into the cloud and vanished from sight. The demonic cloud sank slightly, wrapping the jade box on Han Li’s lap within.
From inside the box came a faint “chirping” sound, not loud but extremely furious.
The demonic cloud swirled turbulently, the worm’s shrill cries growing sharper and more piercing.
But Han Li remained unmoved, hands forming spell formations, his body completely still.
Within the sealing formation, he did not fear the worm’s cries might alert the mortals of the Canglu Tribe outside; he only needed to fully extract the worm’s primordial spirit.
Thus began the arduous process of refining.
Outside the convoy, the Canglu Tribe members were very interested in this “Cold Immortal Master,” but since he entered the carriage, he had never come out again. Naturally, they had no chance to see him.
The clan chief, Yinglu, strictly forbade his people from disturbing the immortal master’s cultivation, which left the others quite disappointed.
In the following more than ten days, perhaps thanks to the blessings of this Cold Immortal Master, not only did they find a herd of wild sheep in a passing canyon and secured enough game, but the convoy also remained safe and sound for the next half month.
This greatly relieved the anxious Yinglu.
He calculated that in a few more days, they would reach an extremely safe resting place—a temporary camp rapidly established by the Tianlan Sanctuary using magical power, specially set up for various tribes traveling long distances to gather and rest.
