A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Chapter 738: Tumultuous Experiences

Han Li's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he replied, "I don't believe we've met before."

Indeed, he had no recollection of You Luo, but strangely enough, he had felt a sense of familiarity as soon as he had laid eyes upon her. It was just that given the urgency of the situation that he was in, he had no time to ponder where this sense of familiarity was coming from.

You Luo's smile widened slightly as bursts of black light suddenly emerged from her body, then intertwined above her to form a projection of a three-eyed giant ape with a strange horn on its head.

"You're the Weeping Soul Beast!" Han Li exclaimed with a stunned expression. [1]">https://rmji.fandom.com/wiki/Weeping_Soul_Beast[/ref]

"Looks like we've been apart for so long that you've already forgotten about me, Master," Weeping Soul sighed with a dejected expression.

"Of course not, I'm just so surprised! Didn't you ascend to the True Immortal Realm after being summoned all those years ago? How did you end up in the Gray Realm?" Han Li asked with a mixture of shock and elation in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Shi Chuankong and the others were all looking on with bewildered expressions.

They had no idea how Han Li had suddenly gained such a powerful subordinate in the Gray Realm, and all of a sudden, Han Li was looking even more unfathomable in their eyes.

Only Mo Guang appeared to be quite calm and collected, seemingly already accustomed to Han Li's ability to work miracles.

"That's a story for another time. For now, use this Gold Rinse Lightning Bead to undo the restriction on your dantian first," You Luo replied as she flipped a hand over to produce an egg-sized golden bead that was riddled with lightning patterns.

The bead was giving off a powerful yang-attribute aura that was rather similar to that of Han Li's Divine Devilbane Lightning, and as soon as it appeared, all of the surrounding baleful qi instantly dissipated.

"Could it be that this bead contains Bone Rinsing Golden Lightning?" Han Li asked as he raised an eyebrow.

A hint of surprise flashed through Weeping Soul's eyes upon hearing this, and she replied, "You know of Bone Rinsing Golden Lightning? That's right, this bead was refined from Bone Rinsing Golden Lightning, which directly counteracts Yin Gua's baleful lightning law powers."

The golden lightning bead shot forward at her behest as she spoke, vanishing into Han Li's dantian in a flash.

Arcs of golden lightning instantly emerged within his dantian before spreading outward in all directions, filling his entire body in the blink of an eye.

Han Li immediately sat down with his legs crossed, and right at this moment, arcs of black lightning began to rise up from his lower abdomen to clash against the golden lightning.

He shuddered violently in pain as cold sweat came pouring down his face, which was spasming uncontrollably from the agony that he was being subjected to.

More and more golden lightning was erupting out of the lightning bead in his dantian, instantly eradicating the arcs of black lightning upon contact, but there were far too many of these arcs of black lightning, and they seemed to have a mind of their own, converging to form thicker and more powerful arcs of black lightning to contend against the golden lightning.

The golden lightning was unable to quickly eradicate these thicker arcs of black lightning, and an impasse ensued.

Right at this moment, rays of radiant golden light surged out of Han Li's body, giving off bursts of time law power fluctuations that fused together with the golden lightning to contend against the black lightning.

With the assistance of his time law powers, the golden lightning instantly gained the upper hand, and several dull thumps rang out within his body in quick succession, following which a burst of black qi was forced out of his dantian.

The golden light radiating from his body instantly brightened significantly, causing the nearby space to buzz and tremble violently, and even Weeping Soul was forced back a few steps.

A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes as she praised, "Your immortal spiritual power is incredible, Master! It's not inferior even compared with the average High Zenith cultivator."

"These baleful lightning restrictions were personally planted by Yin Gua. Now that mine has been removed, will he be able to sense it?" Han Li asked with a serious expression.

"Rest assured, Master. Yin Gua has severely overexerted himself after manifesting five Infernal Soul Bugs at once, and he's currently recuperating in seclusion, so he won't detect anything," Weeping Soul assured with a smile.

Han Li's expression eased slightly upon hearing this, and he opened his mouth to release the Gold Rinsing Lightning Bead, but it had shrunk down slightly compared with before.

At the same time, he flicked a finger through the air to release four streaks of sword qi, which instantly pierced through the restrictions on the doors of the cells occupied by Shi Chuankong and the others before severing their shackles.

Han Li then tossed the Gold Rinsing Lightning Bead at Shi Chuankong as he instructed, "Use this lightning bead to remove the restrictions in your bodies."

Shi Chuankong immediately pressed the lightning bead to his own lower abdomen, and after the lightning bead vanished into his body, arcs of golden lightning began to emerge over his body as well.

Meanwhile, Fox 3 and the others emerged from their cells before gathering around Shi Chuankong.

"By the way, these are your things, Master. These nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords are your bonded treasures, and I took them at the time so that I could give them to you now," Weeping Soul said as she swept a sleeve through the air to summon the nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords and Han Li's storage tools.

An elated look flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this, and he quickly stowed all of his recovered belongings away, then turned to Weeping Soul as he sighed, "You really saved us, Weeping Soul. If you hadn't been around, this would've been the end of the road for all of us."

"There's no need to thank me, Master. It was all thanks to your tireless nurturing that I was able to get to this point, so I'm only repaying the favor," Weeping Soul said with a shake of her head.

"Alright, let's not talk about that then. By the way, what's happened to the Infernal Soul Bug in my mind? It seems to have been trapped in something," Han Li said.

"The ability to manifest Infernal Soul Bugs is one that's unique to the Infernal Tribe, and they're very difficult to deal with. Thankfully, I was able to find a type of special substance that can temporarily seal Infernal Soul Bugs away, and I mixed the substance into the Heavenly Yin Soul Nourishing Pills that were fed to you," Weeping Soul explained.

"I see. Can I ask how you ended up in the Gray Realm and why you seem to hold such a lofty status in the Infernal Tribe?" Han Li asked.

"That's a long story. When I was summoned all those years ago in the Spirit Realm, I really did ascend to the True Immortal Realm, and the one that had summoned me was a Great Encompassment cultivator of the Heavenly Court," Weeping Soul recounted with a complex expression.

Han Li's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this, but he didn't interject.

"However, he only summoned me to the True Immortal Realm as my ability to devour souls was helpful for his cultivation of a certain ability. I cultivated under him for over five thousand years, and my cultivation base improved quite a bit during this time, reaching the Golden Immortal Stage.

“He also make constant progress in his cultivation, and he began severing his three corpse souls, but due to a mishap, his severed corpse soul managed to escape, and it abducted me before fleeing to the Gray Realm," Weeping Soul continued.

"I see, but aren't Three Corpse Immortals supposed to go to the Reincarnation Region after arriving in the Gray Realm? How did you end up in the Infernal Region?" Han Li asked.

"That corpse soul didn't harbor any good intentions for me, so I found an opportunity to escape, and I fled to the Infernal Region and joined the Infernal Tribe," Weeping Soul explained.

She made the process sound very simple, but Han Li could guess that she had to have gone through countless struggles to get to this point. 𝒻𝓇ℯ𝘦𝘸𝑒𝑏𝓃𝑜𝓿𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓶

However, given the urgency of the situation, he didn't ask for any further details.

"I am a yin-attribute being to begin with, and not only did I not experience any discomfort in the Gray Realm, the environment here is very suitable for my cultivation. On top of that, I mastered a very rare type of law power related to soul devouring, and I caught the eye of the Infernal Regional Master, becoming his disciple," Weeping Soul continued.

"It sounds like you were ultimately quite fortunate then. What is your current cultivation base?" Han Li asked.

"The Infernal Regional Master has looked after me quite well and bestowed upon me a lot of cultivation resources, so I was able to reach the High Zenith Stage just over a century ago. By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask you yet, how did you end up in the Gray Realm and Asura City, in particular?" Weeping Soul asked.

"We came here for the Baleful Cleansing Pond. You can probably sense that I'm currently at the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal Stage and that I'm struggling with my baleful decay, so I need to use the Baleful Cleansing Pond here," Han Li explained.

"I see. That's not going to be an easy feat to accomplish. The Baleful Cleansing Pond is a sacred area of the Infernal Tribe, and it's situated in the Soul Cleansing Area. With the Three Region Conference currently taking place, there's been a drastic spike in the number of outsiders in Asura City, so security will most likely be even tighter in the Soul Cleansing Area than usual," Weeping Soul said with slightly furrowed brows.

Han Li's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this, but before he had a chance to say anything else, they were approached by Shi Chuankong and the others.

Judging from their auras, it was clear that the baleful lightning restrictions in their bodies had already been removed.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul. We are eternally indebted to you for saving us in our time of need," Shi Chuankong said as the four of them extended grateful bows toward Weeping Soul.

"You're all friends of my master's, so there's no need to thank me. Here are your things."

Weeping Soul swept a hand through the air as she spoke, and all of the belongings that had been taken from Shi Chuankong and the others appeared amid a flash of light.

Shi Chuankong and the others were ecstatic, and they hurriedly recovered their belongings.
