Chapter 93 Prerequisites

"Just as I thought..."

Han Li murmured thoughtfully upon hearing Luo Feng's words.

It seemed that while the Earth Immortal avatar absorbed faith power, it could not only condense law power but also convert it into magic power for use.

In other words, if he now embarked on the path of Earth Immortal, refined his own Earth Immortal avatar, and accumulated enough magic power, he might be able to assist his original Nascent Soul in completely breaking free from those mysterious chains.

Moreover, from the faint resonance between the faith power in the statue's head and the chains within his Nascent Soul, refining an Earth Immortal avatar might have other unexpected effects for escaping.

However, if he actually took this step, there would still be many troubles.

After all, once on the path of Earth Immortal, there was a risk of his magic power being corrupted by faith power. If he was not careful, he could forever degenerate into a mere Earth Immortal.

But if he waited until the Nascent Soul was freed and his magic power had not yet been truly corrupted by faith power, he could abandon this path and take another great path—it might not be impossible.

Han Li's face appeared calm, but inside he was engaged in a fierce mental struggle.

"There are many texts about Earth Immortals in the library, but most are just introductions and do not explain how to embark on the path of Earth Immortal. Does Patriarch Luo know anything about this?" After a long while, Han Li said to Luo Feng.

"Senior Liu, could it be that you also wish to cultivate the path of Earth Immortal?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.

"Just tell me what you know." Han Li said noncommittally.

"Generally, most Earth Immortals first choose to become an existence similar to our clan's Ancestral God, continuously procreating to produce several generations or even dozens of generations of descendants. Through their long-term offerings over the years, they accumulate faith power bit by bit. After adapting to having faith power within them and having some accumulation and buffer, they can truly embark on the path of Earth Immortal cultivation..." Luo Feng began to speak eloquently.

"Must it be one's own descendants to provide faith power?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Ordinary people are not entirely impossible, but the faith power they provide is generally more impure, which is almost impossible for an Earth Immortal still in the Ancestral God stage to condense. The faith power of one's direct descendants is the most devout and has the highest compatibility with oneself. Moreover, as time passes, the number of descendants will increase day by day. Therefore, most who wish to take this path choose to spend some time nurturing their own family." Luo Feng explained.

"I see. Continue." Han Li nodded.

"Since the speed of Earth Immortal cultivation and the strength of condensed law power are closely related to the amount of faith power, to quickly grow stronger, one must continuously expand the territory under control and seize as many resources as possible. Only then can one raise more clansmen and allow one's clan to expand rapidly..."

As the current highest cultivator of the Wumeng Clan, having cultivated in the Black Wind Sea for so long, Luo Feng was quite clear about how to become an Earth Immortal and how to develop afterward.

However, after listening to his滔滔不绝 narration, Han Li couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

The path of Earth Immortal was not as easy as he had imagined. Given his current situation, it was impossible for him to spend a long time nurturing a large family.

As for subsequent expansion, it would inevitably infringe on the interests of other Ancestral Gods, leading to endless disputes and killings—something he absolutely did not want.

"Patriarch Luo, what you just described is the general case. Are there other methods?" Han Li suddenly asked.

"Well... there is indeed another method that allows one to directly cultivate as an Earth Immortal without taking the Ancestral God path." Luo Feng hesitated slightly and said.

"This method should require some special conditions, right?" Han Li said thoughtfully.

"That's right. Although this method of directly cultivating as an Earth Immortal is widely known throughout the Black Wind Sea, and almost all high-level cultivators have heard of it, few have succeeded. Because this method first requires meeting two prerequisites." Luo Feng said with a bitter smile.

"Tell me about them." Han Li said without any change in expression.

"First, the Earth Immortal avatar used by the cultivator cannot be made of ordinary materials; it must be made of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that inherently contain law power. Second, the Earth Immortal cultivation technique must be a high-level one that can skip the Ancestral God stage, meaning it can directly condense the impure faith power of ordinary people." Luo Feng said solemnly.

"Materials containing law power... high-level Earth Immortal techniques..." Han Li murmured, frowning.

"To be honest, Senior Liu, our clan cannot possibly have a high-level Earth Immortal technique. In the entire Black Wind Sea, there are probably only a few... As for materials, Ancestral God Luo Meng once left some materials in the clan, but I am ignorant and do not recognize most of them. I don't know if any contain law power. Senior can go and take a look for yourself." Luo Feng said directly.

"Alright, Patriarch Luo, please lead the way." Han Li nodded.

The two soon left the forbidden area and appeared in the underground secret chamber of a certain hidden side hall.

The secret chamber was not large, with more than ten wooden shelves piled with many materials, including demon beast materials, some spirit herbs, ores, and so on.

Although these items seemed rare, they were only so for cultivators at the Deity Transformation or Body Integration stage.

Luo Feng obviously knew this as well and directly led Han Li to a green jade shelf at the innermost part. The entire shelf was covered by a layer of solid blue light, and a small pile of things could be vaguely seen.

"Senior Liu, everything left by Ancestral God is here." Luo Feng said to Han Li.

After speaking, he took out a blue token and shook it slightly toward the blue light. A beam of blue light shot out.

With a "crack," the blue light restriction around the jade shelf dissipated.

On the shelf were mostly round black ores emitting an extremely cold and mysterious fluctuation, seemingly some special material.

Besides these ores, there were various other odds and ends: a few pieces of orange-yellow wood giving off a fragrant scent, a piece of pale gold ore, two damaged short dagger-axes, and finally a palm-sized white jade token.

Han Li picked up each item and examined them carefully, then shook his head.

He recognized the orange-yellow wood and the gold ore as two precious refining materials. He did not recognize the black ore, but it clearly contained no law power.

As for the pair of short dagger-axes, they had once been a powerful spiritual treasure, but unfortunately, their spiritual nature had been damaged for a long time for unknown reasons, making them useless.

Seeing Han Li's expression, Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh softly.

In his heart, he hoped Han Li would cultivate as an Earth Immortal, so that he would be unable to leave this sea area and would protect their Luo family lineage for a long time. With ample time, the Luo family could give birth to a new Ancestral God.

If not for this, he would never have brought Han Li here.

At that moment, a soft exclamation was heard.

It was Han Li, who had picked up the white jade token and was examining it closely.

"Senior Liu, is there something special about this token?" Luo Feng was slightly startled.

He had examined the items here countless times, including this token, but had never found anything unusual about it.

Han Li did not answer Luo Feng immediately. After scrutinizing the token for a long time, he slowly spoke: "I can't say for sure at the moment. This token seems a bit odd. I'll take it back to study."

"No problem." Luo Feng said immediately.

"As for the materials containing law power and the high-level Earth Immortal technique, I'll trouble you to keep an eye out for me. Inform me immediately if there's any news." Han Li instructed.

"Senior Liu, rest assured. I will make arrangements right away." Luo Feng agreed.

...

A moment later, in the secret chamber of the four-sided courtyard.

Han Li sat cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes flickering as he fell into deep thought.

It seemed that to solve the problem of the sealed Nascent Soul in a short time, he had no choice but to find a way to take the unusual path of Earth Immortal.

However, he had to resolve those two conditions first.

The Black Wind Sea was vast and boundless, with several places similar to secret realms. Although dangerous, they nurtured some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, strange beasts, and so on. Perhaps he could find one or two materials containing law power.

With this thought, he suddenly remembered something and flipped his hand to produce an object—the single eye left behind by the one-eyed giant he had killed in the mysterious bubble.

The light released by this single eye could slow down people's movements, leaving a deep impression on him.

He had examined it before, but time was tight then, and he hadn't investigated it thoroughly. Now he could study it properly.

If it contained a trace of law power, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Han Li muttered incantations, his eyes flashing blue light, and a black crack split open on his forehead, revealing a pitch-black single eye—the Destruction Law Eye.

All three eyes lit up simultaneously, each shooting out a beam of light.

Two blue and one black beams converged and slowly merged.

Han Li continued muttering incantations and forming hand seals.

The three beams quickly fused completely, transforming into a black-blue eyeball that emitted ripples of strange black-blue light, enveloping the single eye in his hand.

At the same time, his divine sense spread out, and strands of crystalline thought emerged, wrapping around the single eye and penetrating into it.

"This is..."

After a moment, Han Li felt a surge of joy.

Under his unreserved probing with divine sense, he indeed made some discoveries.

Deep within the single eye, several extremely faint white dots vaguely appeared.

Han Li's heart stirred. His divine sense threads changed again, turning into a misty state, and he closed his eyes to carefully sense these white dots.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashing within.

Although very faint, he could be certain that these white dots indeed contained a trace of mysterious law fluctuations.
