Chapter 1244 - Chapter 1244 Chapter 514 Infant Morphing No Immortals Once

Chapter 1244: Chapter 514: Infant Morphing, No Immortals Once Again_2 Chapter 1244: Chapter 514: Infant Morphing, No Immortals Once Again_2 Upon reaching the Third-stage, this Immortal Skill would definitely be different.

In the Cave Mansion, Han Yi continuously cultivated the Morphing Fairy Art, pushing forward the final bit of progress with the help of the panel.

Three months later.

The Morphing Fairy Art finally became clear again after a blur, and this time, what manifested in the panel was not Morphing, but…

[Infant Morphing (Third-stage Immortal Skill 1/100)].

Han Yi, seeing this, was stunned.

“Tiangang Immortal Skill?”

Then, his face lit up with joy again.

The name that manifested on the panel was beyond his expectations.

The Morphing Fairy Art he was cultivating was among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Immortal Skills, a prerequisite for Infant Morphing. Normally, this Immortal Skill would advance to [Infant Morphing]only after reaching the Fifth-stage.

Because, generally speaking, only Golden Immortals can fully master the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Immortal Skills. For True Immortals and Profound Immortals, it’s sufficient to choose just one prerequisite Immortal Skill to cultivate.

Han Yi had never thought that this Immortal Skill would manifest as early as the Third-stage Immortal Skill.

“It’s because of the panel.”

“Ever since I started cultivating, I have been using the panel to cultivate this Immortal Skill. Although it is a prerequisite Immortal Skill, it’s different from others. The Second-stage Morphing Fairy Art can deceive even Profound Immortals, and once it reaches the Third-stage, it directly leaps into being a true Tiangang Immortal Skill.”

“It must be so.”

Thinking of this, he was exhilarated inside; the effect of this panel was indeed defying the heavens, to be able to downgrade a Tiangang Immortal Skill to a Third-stage Immortal Skill.

He needed to investigate the Mystical Cauldron Immortal Sect, and there might be a critical moment when he would need to replace someone with the Morphing Fairy Art. Now that he possessed a true Tiangang Immortal Skill, it was possible that even seasoned Golden Immortals would not be able to detect his true identity, as long as he didn’t come across any of the five Peak Golden Immortals within the sect.

If it were those five Peak Golden Immortals making a move, then naturally, Han Yi would have no choice but to turn tail and run, report to the Immortal Court, or wait until he had the strength to come and search again.

Apart from those five Peak Golden Immortals, Han Yi believed that even if he couldn’t defeat them, he could still escape.

The current him was at Fifth-stage Sword Control, Third-stage Infant Morphing, Third-stage Sword Canon, Third-stage Sword Realm, and his Mental Realm Immortal Skill had also reached the peak of the Second-stage, with several other Immortal Skills stepping into the Second-stage realm.

On top of that, his ascent to the Ancient Gods in the Supreme State.

In terms of comprehensive strength, facing ordinary Golden Immortals, he could subdue most under normal circumstances. Encountering seasoned Golden Immortals, even if he did not prevail, he could still save his life.

After Han Yi broke through to Infant Morphing with his Morphing Fairy Art, he left seclusion, still appearing as Li Zhengyang. The method he chose was not aggressive–it was to stake out near the City Lord Manor, follow a True Immortal when they came out, and then easily capture them, plant a Soul Seal, and make them his Soul Slave.

Although the Ninefold Soul Tower had reached its limit with True Immortals, at this moment, Han Yi’s Immortal Soul was strong, comparable to a Peak Profound Immortal, and enslaving an ordinary True Immortal was easier than ever.

During the process of planting the Soul Seal, he merged core concepts he had observed from Lord of Beimang Mountain practicing in the Void, based on the Ninefold Soul Tower and other Soul Skills, with many rules, and created a new Soul Skill.

He named this ‘Funeral Soul Mark’.

With his current cultivation and having come into contact with so many Immortal Spells, it was not difficult for him to create an Immortal Spell to control Immortal Souls; ‘Funeral Soul Mark’ was one such attempt.

After becoming an immortal, Han Yi started to feel ever more that aside from his main combat techniques, he needed to master even more Immortal Skills. The Chaotic Star Immortal Skill and Primordial Universe Immortal Skill were his attempts.

And in the Penglai Void, after receiving the transmission of sentiments from the Lord of Beimang Mountain and gaining insight into the essence of the Beimang Immortal Sutra, Han Yi had developed some understanding of creating Immortal Spells. Given time, he could certainly create many more tailored to himself.

To Han Yi’s great fortune, the True Immortal who had been imprinted with the Funeral Soul Mark was known as Astonishing River, an inner disciple of the Mystical Cauldron Immortal Sect.

Since the Funeral Soul Mark was derived from the Ninefold Soul Tower, the True Immortals imprinted with it instinctively and deeply obeyed Han Yi, without the slightest resistance.

Within the Immortal Soul memory of True Immortal Astonishing River, there was no information about Yang Jiu Huan. Han Yi wasn’t disappointed by this. After planting the Funeral Soul Mark, he let True Immortal Astonishing River return to continue his search for clues about Yang Jiu Huan inside the Mystical Cauldron Immortal Sect.

This time Han Yi did not hide within True Immortal Astonishing River as he had done before.

Instead, he switched his position and within ten days, using the same method, he quietly captured two more True Immortals and successively planted two more Funeral Soul Marks.

That is to say, with the help of the Funeral Soul Mark, he had three soul slaves within the Mystical Cauldron Immortal City.

How can one person be as useful as three?

This number was just right; too many could arouse suspicion, while too few would be inefficient.

Moreover, why should he bother searching himself when he could have more time to cultivate?

Furthermore, unless it was a Peak Golden Immortal, it was difficult to detect a True Immortal marked with the Funeral Soul Mark. Thus, very few immortals within the Mystical Cauldron Immortal Sect could discern the trickery, ensuring its security was unquestionable.

After sending out the three soul slaves, Han Yi himself returned to the rented Cave Heaven.

A month later, the first True Immortal soul slave, the Immortal of Astonishing River, made a discovery. Afterward, messages from the soul slaves dribbled in continuously.

…

Three months later.

In the Cave Mansion.

The fairy lamp shone as bright as daylight. Han Yi put down several jade discs, his face reflecting a contemplative expression.

Based on the multitude of messages gathered, Han Yi roughly pieced together the truth behind Yang Jiu Huan’s disappearance.

More than twenty years ago, Yang Jiu Huan did indeed visit the Mystical Cauldron Immortal City, and even had a conflict with an elder Profound Immortal of the Mystical Cauldron Immortal Sect. However, although the elder managed to capture Yang Jiu Huan with ease, he was killed by someone else immediately after the capture.

The one who killed the elder was a Profound Immortal, and moreover, one that the Mystical Cauldron Immortal Sect could not afford to provoke. After a dozen elders in the sect learned of this, they joined forces to keep the news under wraps, which was why ordinary True Immortals had no way of finding out.

However, there was no shortage of True Immortals and Half-immortals who had witnessed the slaughter first-hand. Those who wanted to know what happened during that time could piece together the events from the slightest of clues.

Therefore, it was not difficult to inquire about the identity of the mysterious Profound Immortal who had taken action.

“Ye Wuxian!”

Han Yi murmured softly.

That’s right, after so many years, he heard this name again.

Speaking of which, Ye Wuxian had crossed paths with him thrice already. The first time was at the Changsheng Fairy Meeting held by the Daluo Fairy Court. Back then, Ye Wuxian, though only a Nascent Soul, already possessed the Half-step Divinity strength, extremely formidable, with a background that caused everyone to take notice.

The second time was when Han Yi had become a True Immortal, fell into the Yuandao World, traversed the Eternal Life Immortal World, and on his way back to Daluo, he encountered Ye Wuxian at the edge of the Lingxiao Immortal Court Void. During that encounter, Ye Wuxian killed several Evil Immortals from the Evil Mountain, showcasing a strength that even Han Yi regarded with respect.

Although they did not meet face-to-face this third time, he learned through these messages that she had become a Profound Immortal with no less formidable power.

Han Yi shook off his thoughts about his encounters with Ye Wuxian and turned his thoughts back to Yang Jiu Huan with a puzzled expression.

“After that, no one saw Yang Jiu Huan. Combined with the complete state of Yang Jiu Huan’s Immortal’ Name, it is very likely that after the Immortal Fight, Ye Wuxian rescued him.”

“Ye Wuxian’s intervention was probably unrelated to Yang Jiu Huan, yet after the rescue, there was no further news of Yang Jiu Huan reaching the Immortal Court, and no clues were left behind, which likely involved Ye Wuxian.”

“In this, there must be circumstances unknown to outsiders.”

“That is to say, to find Yang Jiu Huan, I need to seek out Ye Wuxian first.”

Han Yi shook his head slightly.

Ye Wuxian, being a descendant of Heavenly Sovereign Ye, would certainly be well looked after by Ancestor Ling Xiao. After the sect’s inner gate elder was killed, the sect dared not pursue her and prayed that Ye Wuxian would not hold them accountable for the trouble.

With Han Yi’s current level of cultivation, although it would not be too dangerous to investigate the Lingxiao Immortal Court, it was unnecessary.

Since Yang Jiu Huan did not meet his end in the Mystical Cauldron Immortal City but was instead rescued by Ye Wuxian, it was highly probable that his fate was a blessing rather than a calamity and that he might have even had the opportunity to progress further and step into Profound Immortality because of Ye Wuxian.

Although Han Yi was not entirely certain, he felt this conjecture was highly likely.

Next, he secretly lifted the Funeral Soul Marks from the three True Immortal soul slaves of Mystical Cauldron, erased their Immortal Soul memories regarding this matter, and then floated away.
