Chapter 412: Accumulating Talisman Power, Discovering the Truth

“What?” Li Hui was startled, as he heard Xiujin transmit a message, “I’ve checked it out; these Dao Traces formations are incredibly powerful. The core of the formation is the cave sky. The reason you could enter and exit a few times before was because this formation had suffered calamity and had been sealed for a long time, causing its reactions and perceptions to become stiff. Now that it has been activated a few times, it is quickly recovering, and by finding various Duobao items to counteract it, you are accelerating this formation’s evolution.”

“In that case, I can’t contact the Mysterious Pearl inside?” Li Hui felt quite frustrated.

“Pretty much! It can barely hold out for two more times, but transmitting messages can last several times,” Xiujin continued, “You need to elevate your Ideal Body as soon as possible, aiming for at least mid-stage Bosa or even late-stage Bosa.”

“Uh, that’s not an easy task,” Li Hui sighed. From Wan Nest Island, he had obtained an Extreme Path Spiritual Boulder, which allowed his Ideal Body to reach the early stage of Bosa and greatly push towards mid-stage Bosa, but it required two more rare treasures to trigger further.

To raise the Ideal Body above the Bosa stage, it would not rely solely on single rare treasures but would require sets—either three pieces or five. Sometimes it needed to reverse Yin-Yang, sometimes it needed to bolster the Five Elements, with principles that were quite profound. However, the costs involved would increase by hundreds or thousands of times, resulting in significant harm to the body.

“It’s fine; the greater the investment, the stronger the combat power. Otherwise, how will we face Zhang Daoheng?” Li Hui quickly shook off these complicated thoughts. The Green Copper Hall presented numerous dangers; upon entering, his Ideal Body immediately issued a warning. Compared to the last time he entered, everything was already very different, so he had to be especially cautious.

At this moment, he needed to focus on waiting; a good hunter must have patience when spotting prey.

Li Hui waited for an opportunity, knowing that Senior Sister Chuchu had gathered seven formidable cultivators. If the Evil God did not want them to enter, he would undoubtedly unleash powerful means to suppress them. The opportunity would arrive at that instant; as long as the evil energy gathered in the Green Copper Hall showed signs of tilting, the jade symbol could unleash immense power and bring out a string of treasures.

While others discussed treasure in “pieces,” Li Hui considered treasure in “strings.” However, obtaining treasure was not easy, and avoiding having the Evil God seize the fortune afterward would be even more difficult.

“Boom…” The Autumn Hall trembled as Wen Chuchu unleashed a killing move, and the other cultivators followed suit immediately.

Bai Ze shrank down to the size of a fist, crouching on Li Hui’s shoulder to observe the surroundings. Though the vibrations were strong and the sounds rolled in waves, the Green Copper Hall remained stable. The Evil God was clearly a qualified hunter, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

“Here it comes!”

A killing intent surged through the air.

This time, the Green Copper Hall emerged, and the Evil God was making a losing deal, having already felt a surge of rage. After sending a split consciousness to capture the little thief, believing it would be a sure win, he had not anticipated that both the division and the Dragon Celebration branch did not return, resulting in total devastation. His fury had reached a boiling point.

Wen Chuchu led the charge against the Great Treasure Dragon Celebration Tree while the Evil God remained hidden, just waiting for the perfect strike, using these eight young ones to vent his frustration.

“Boom, boom, boom…” Light and shadow flickered as evil energy erupted.

“Now is the time.” Li Hui moved swiftly. The Seize the Day Talisman and Body Talisman combined, manifesting like tattoos; at this moment, all these tattoos transformed into silver, granting him over a hundred times the flow of time.

With such speed, all the formations and restrictions in the Green Copper Hall became ineffective.

“Set it up, let’s go!”

Li Hui dashed toward the hall’s exit. As he left the Spring Hall, numerous silver threads tightened behind him instantly.

“Collect!”

With a buzzing sound, many formations and restrictions attempted to intercept him, but the carrying capacity of the Unity of Heaven and Earth Talisman was too strong, and in the blink of an eye, the treasures vanished completely.

At this moment, Li Hui became visible again, only to be caught off guard by a flash of cold light approaching from behind.

With terrifying thuds, the Divination Master Feng Tianliang retracted his arm, suddenly frowning as he noticed the dazzling leaves before him shatter.

He couldn’t believe it, staring blankly and muttering, “Impossible, even if you used a replacement talisman, I could still predict your next move. How could you dodge my calculations and fatal strike?”

Li Hui appeared twenty paces away, quickly retreating while smiling back at the already corrupted Divination Master, saying, “You rely too much on your Innate Techniques. Can you still predict what I’ll do next?”

“Is it that devil pen? Spiritually bizarre, disrupting the heavenly secrets.” After becoming demonic, Feng Tianliang delved into his calculations, with his divination abilities even more potent than before. Frowning, he calculated with his fingers, but to his shock, he initially managed to sketch a few blurry images. Suddenly, a beam of silver light blazed forth—it was no longer about disrupting the heavenly secrets but rather devouring them.

Feng Tianliang suppressed the urge to spit blood; just as he was about to chase, the ground shook violently, and the Green Copper Hall roared, “You little thief, you dare to come back? You really are impatient to live!”

A terrifying spiritual sense radiated from the Green Copper Hall, making Feng Tianliang spew blood and hastily retreat. He witnessed the cultivators on the plain, fighting fiercely for treasures, also spitting blood, immediately growing dispirited.

As for Li Hui? Despite the terrifying spiritual sense sweeping the world, he vanished without a trace.

Feng Tianliang calculated with his fingers, “Pfft, pfft, pfft,” spitting out three mouthfuls of blood in succession. He gaped at the Green Copper Hall, thinking, “How dare he?”

What was there to be afraid of? Li Hui had shown himself for a moment and then turned back towards the Green Copper Hall. What use was the Evil God’s spiritual sense sweeping outward? He wasn’t even outside.

The silver snake bracelet’s back lit up with one black pattern after another.

“Five paths, six paths, seven paths, eight paths!”

“I’m rich now; the silver snake bracelet has never accumulated this much talisman power.” Li Hui’s face lit up with joy. “Just now, I devoured two jade tokens. Those things have remarkable resistance and must not be ordinary spirit treasures. There are so many other artifacts and spirit treasures available. Indeed, the Unity of Heaven and Earth Talisman is not to be underestimated—opportunistically entering is not a trivial matter. However, with so many valuable items on display, there must be a storeroom to keep the foundational assets. I must make another trip; this is non-negotiable!”

“You little thief, even if I search heaven and earth, I will find you. You’re dead! Today is different from the past. As long as I hold out until the dark moon appears, I will surely expand my pursuit range.” The Evil God’s rage boiled; ever since the Green Copper Hall opened, he had never allowed anything to enter without exchanging. He had not yet compensated for the previous losses and was now facing a second round—how could this be?

Not only a second round but a third.

Li Hui returned again, pausing slightly as he passed by the Great Treasure Dragon Celebration Tree.

Four cultivators struggled against the devouring red glow; their bodies cracked like porcelain when thrown to the ground, covered with tiny fissures. Senior Sister Chuchu’s exquisite treasure tower lay on the ground, with her missing, and the aura of the Dragon Tree Demon was exceedingly weak.

“Could it be that Senior Sister Chuchu hid inside the exquisite treasure tower?” Li Hui scanned the area but found no trace. Not wanting to meddle, he passed through layers of obstacles into the inner courtyard.

Within the inner courtyard lay numerous treasures. Although he took a third of them, they still shone vibrant, emitting auspicious light.

“Tsk, tsk, there are indeed plenty of good things; I wonder how many years they have accumulated.” Li Hui focused his talisman power to pour into his spiritual sense, and the Dao Rhythm Residual Talisman became formidable, a giant Bai Ze faintly appearing behind him, raising his proud head to gaze at the sky, watching everything that could not escape his sight.

“Whoosh…” Sparks flickered in his eyes, as if light and shadow were moving.
