Chapter 130: Déjà Vu

Just then, a faint blue light suddenly flared up on the cyan-black chains, and tiny cyan-black runes emerged one after another, stirring up a strange fluctuation of laws.

Han Li felt that both of the crystal-clear giant hands formed from his divine sense, which were gripping the chains, were simultaneously subjected to a powerful suction force. Both his mana and his spiritual sense power began to drain rapidly, as if they were being pulled into the chains and sealed away.

Startled inwardly, he abruptly opened his eyes. With a thought, the Earthly Immortal incarnation changed his hand seals and pointed both hands at Han Li's dantian.

Immediately afterward, a water-attribute law force rushed into his dantian, transforming into a blue light membrane that spread over the cyan-black chains, enveloping them.

The black runes on the chains were instantly blocked by the blue light, and the strange fluctuations emanating from them also weakened.

At that moment, a gleam flashed in Han Li's eyes, and from within his body came a series of clear cries and roars.

Several clusters of golden light flew out from his body. After a brief flicker, they transformed into blurry, palm-sized projections of a giant ape, a colorful phoenix, a thunder peng, and a peacock. After circling around for a moment, they blurred again and rushed into his dantian.

After the several projections rushed in, their light and shadows stretched, each transforming into a radiant giant hand that firmly gripped the cyan-black chains.

"Come out!"

Enduring the excruciating pain emanating from his nascent soul, Han Li let out a furious roar. The several giant hands within his dantian immediately blazed with light and pulled the chains outward with all their might.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

A sound like the turning of gears rang out continuously.

Under the pull of this irresistible and majestic force, the black runes on the cyan-black chains finally began to burst one after another, and the chains were pulled out inch by inch from his nascent soul.

As soon as the chains left the nascent soul, they writhed violently like living creatures, unwilling to give up and trying to burrow back in.

Han Li snorted coldly. The several giant hands holding the chains in his dantian flashed with light and transformed back into the projections of the giant ape, colorful phoenix, thunder peng, and others. Each of them, either pulling with their hands or holding with their mouths, forcibly dragged the cyan-black chains out through his lower abdomen.

The chains that emerged from Han Li's body were only as thick as a child's arm and about a zhang long. The cyan-black runes on their surface were mostly gone, but still, waves of not insignificant law fluctuations emanated from them.

Seeing this, Han Li immediately flipped his hand and took out a prepared, lustrous white jade box. He grabbed the chains and placed them inside the box.

With a crisp "snap," the lid of the box was tightly fastened.

Next, Han Li took out a silver talisman and affixed it to the jade box.

A soft silver light flashed from the talisman, enveloping the entire jade box, completely sealing the aura of the chains inside and cutting off all connection with the outside world.

Only after doing all this did Han Li truly breathe a sigh of relief. He casually waved his hand at the several projections hovering around him, and those true spirit light clusters immediately flew into his body and disappeared.

At that moment, Han Li felt a warm current rise in his dantian. It was not very strong, but it carried an indescribably familiar feeling.

"This is..."

Slightly startled, he sank his divine sense back into his dantian and was surprised to find that the golden figure, which had been sleeping until now, had awakened. It was staring wide-eyed, scanning its surroundings.

The golden light on its body appeared somewhat dim, seemingly having suffered considerable loss due to the previous incident.

And now, beneath it, circles of cyan ripples like waves were shining, looking like a spring bubbling with water.

Han Li knew that this was his long-sealed mana!

Although it seemed gentle and weak, it was already a living spring; it wouldn't take long to fill the entire dantian.

With the seal on his nascent soul lifted, a great shadow was finally removed from Han Li's heart. He slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on his face, his heart filled with immense joy.

A few days passed in a flash. The large silver banners around the small courtyard had long been removed, but Han Li's figure never left the courtyard.

One day at noon, a streak of light suddenly shot up from Wumeng Island into the sky. With almost just a flicker, it had already flown to the horizon. Although many people on the island sensed it, no one saw it clearly.

The streak of light flew to a remote sea area far from Wumeng Island, where its radiance suddenly halted, revealing a human figure.

He wore a green long robe, was tall in stature, and had ordinary features. Naturally, it was Han Li himself.

At this moment, his clothes rustled in the sea breeze, and his whole body exuded a surprisingly strong aura. He had clearly reached the early stage of the True Immortal realm.

Speaking of which, when he had felt the warm current flowing back into his dantian that day, he had thought it was his mana gradually recovering. But only today, after it had fully recovered, did he discover to his astonishment that what his body contained was no longer mana, but a more refined immortal spiritual power.

Overjoyed, he had also tried his luck and, with a single teleportation, arrived here.

He let out a cheerful cry, and a silver light flashed around him. A dazzling electric radiance burst forth from his body, enveloping an area of several hundred zhang in all directions.

"Zizi zi."

Silver arcs of electricity filled the sky, leaping and darting wildly across the sea surface, some even shooting from a thousand feet high into the water.

The sea instantly seemed to boil, churning up towering waves dozens of feet high.

Han Li, seeing this, suddenly reached out, took the small dark green bottle from his chest, and tossed it into the air.

The bottle glowed with intense green light, spun swiftly in the wind, and then vanished with a flash in midair.

In the next moment, a fierce gale arose over the sea, and patches of five-colored spirit clouds rolled into existence out of nowhere.

"Boom!"

A sudden clap of thunder in the clear sky!

A colossal bottle mouth, vast enough to blot out the sun, emerged from the spirit clouds like a dragon probing its head. It swayed slightly downward, and countless dark green runes sprayed out.

The moment these runes flew out of the bottle mouth, they instantly transformed into clusters of cyan mist, bursting apart.

In an instant, the entire sea area was enveloped by an immensely powerful fluctuation of laws.

Then came another thunderous roar, "Rumble!"

The surrounding void trembled slightly, the air within several hundred feet tightened, and countless silver arcs rapidly contracted, converging toward the five-colored spirit clouds.

Following that, the sea surface churned with even more violent towering waves, and thick seawater pillars, like giant sky-supporting columns, twisted like dragons soaring into the sky, gathering toward the heights.

Yet whether it was lightning or seawater, no matter how vast their quantity, as soon as they approached within a thousand feet of the bottle mouth, they all trembled and turned to dust, completely absorbed by an invisible suction force.

In just a moment, the sky full of silver lightning was entirely sucked in, leaving only hundreds of massive water tornadoes still surging upward.

Seeing this, a thoughtful expression flickered across Han Li's face.

Then he raised his hand and beckoned. The five-colored spirit clouds in the sky blurred and gradually vanished, leaving only a small green bottle slowly descending from the heights.

At the same time, the seawater that had risen into the sky, losing its guiding force, scattered and crashed down, once again stirring up towering waves hundreds of feet high that took a long time to subside.

After retrieving the small bottle, Han Li gently rubbed the leaf-like pattern on its surface with his thumb pad, as if suddenly reminded of something, and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he suddenly muttered to himself with a strange expression:

"Since I already have immortal spiritual power, I might as well give it a try. Perhaps I can even recover some memories..."

With that, a surge of heat immediately rose from his dantian, and streams of immortal spiritual power flowed through his meridians, rapidly pouring from his palm into the small bottle.

A dark green light suddenly lit up in his palm, at first somewhat dim, but soon growing bright.

As the light of the small bottle gradually intensified, the entire bottle began to tremble violently.

After a moment, the light radiated outward, like a green sun, turning most of the sea area into an emerald green.

As the light from the small bottle grew stronger, the tremor became more intense, as if it were about to break free from Han Li's hand and fly away.

Just when Han Li felt he could barely hold the bottle, a flash of emerald light suddenly appeared at the bottle's mouth, and a large cluster of dark green runes sprayed out.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly and immediately looked carefully at those runes.

The runes were a spell incantation formed from golden seal script, floating gracefully in the green light, as if carved from jade, emitting a strange aura.

Looking at the incantation, Han Li's strange expression grew even more pronounced. He couldn't help but chuckle and mutter to himself:

"It does seem familiar. It seems that before losing my memory, I had already done something similar."

With that, he no longer hesitated. He wiped his finger across the bottle's surface, and the dark green runes instantly transformed into a stream of green qi, flowing back into the small bottle.

Then, Han Li raised his hand and tossed the bottle high into the air. He parted his lips slightly and silently began to recite the incantation.

At the same time, he raised his finger and pointed it from afar at the bottle's mouth in the air, continuing to pour immortal spiritual power into the bottle.

As he chanted the mysterious incantation, the world's vital energy in the surrounding sea area seemed to be stirred, resonating from afar with a very peculiar fluctuation.

A strange layer of green light screen, like an expanding green light sphere, slowly spread out in all directions, enveloping an area of several hundred li and isolating it from the surroundings.

At that moment, a water-blue light involuntarily shifted out from Han Li's body, transforming into a humanoid form not far from him—it was his earthly deity incarnation.

Above its head, blue light flickered, revealing countless fine blue threads, from which emanated distinct fluctuations of law power.
