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. /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.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
"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.
"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.
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.
