Han Li picked up the two talismans with one hand and put them away. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and held the black ball with two fingers before putting it against the area between his eyebrows.

The silver smoke in the ball flew out from the ball and after circling around between his eyebrows, the smoke went into it.

Looking at the silver smoke, there were countless characters that were even smaller than mosquitoes and flies. It was the secret scriptures of the cultivation techniques that the First Primordial talisman puppet had read in Sutra Pavilion.

Even with Han Li’s powerful soul, it was impossible for him to absorb so much content all at once.

But he was in no hurry. He had the time to slowly study it.

Time passed and Han Li sat still for three days and three nights.

It was not until the morning of the fourth day that he opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

Although some of these old books were quite exquisite and some of them had wonderful ideas that he could not help but admire, they were of little use to him right now.

Han Li shook his head and put the black ball away. With a flick of his sleeves, thirty to forty jade slips appeared on the ground. They were those that the First Primordial puppet took at the last moment before fleeing.

He swept his eyes over these jade slips, his expression complicated. He hoped he would be able to find something useful to him in these jade slips.

With this thought, Han Li picked up a jade slip and his divine sense went into it gradually.

Another day passed.

When Han Li’s divine sense pulled away from the last jade slip, there was disappointment in his eyes.

The jade slips recorded some profound cultivation techniques, but there was nothing that was useful for his current predicament.

Han Li laughed bitterly. He had brought back so many old scriptures from the Cold Fire Sect and caused alarm to almost the whole sect, but in the end, it was for nothing.

Shaking his head, he prepared to destroy all these jade slips.

Although he had checked and there should not be any tracking spell left on them, it was better to destroy them as there was a strange thing like the Connate purple energy in this Spirit Imperial World and it was possible there might be some means which even he could not ward against.

“Eh!” Han Li was shocked.

The thirty odd jade slips had turned into a pile of powder, but one of them, a pale yellow jade slip which looked ordinary was still intact.

He thought for a while and picked up the jade slip curiously, bringing it up to his eyes to examine it.

Even a piece of refined iron broke with his lightest touch, but this little jade slip was fine.

However, there was nothing unusual about the jade slip. It was just made of the most common jade and he had already viewed the contents within. It was just about a body cultivation technique suitable for those of the Spatial Tempering stage.

Han Li looked at the yellow jade slip and pinched it with his fingers.

A layer of faint star-like light appeared on the surface of the yellow jade slip and resisted his strength.

His eyes brightened and when he stopped, the star light also disappeared.

There was something mysterious about this thing!

He could sense that the starlight was not a tracking spell.

Han Li looked at the jade slip in his hand and put his divine sense into it again.

There was another mystery in this object. The cultivation technique recorded in it might be extraordinary and he had not noticed it before.

As a result, he carefully looked at the contents of the cultivation technique from the beginning to the end, three or four times, and even tried cultivating it, but he did not find anything hidden.

“Did I think too much…”

Han Li muttered to himself, and did not want to give up. There was a flash of light at the area between his eyebrows and a big force of divine sense shot out before wrapping around the jade slip, and probed it carefully.

At this moment, the starlight on the jade slip appeared again as it sent out an unstoppable force that devoured the divine sense.

Then, a little golden light appeared on the surface of the jade slip.

Han Li was surprised at first, but then he was happy. He did not take back his divine sense and just let the jade slip devour it.

As time went on, his face began to look terrible.

The jade slip seemed to be a bottomless hole. It had consumed nearly one fifth of his divine power and it was still not satisfied while the golden light had become the size of a broad bean.

His divine sense was damaged and there was only about 10% left compared to when he was in his peak. However, due to his cultivation technique, he was not inferior in any aspect to that of an ordinary immortal. This jade slip had devoured so much of his divine sense.

Although it would take a lot of time to recover later, he just gave it a little thought before he continued to let it devour it.

After a moment, a shocking scene appeared!

As more and more golden light accumulated on the jade slip, a golden pattern of the Big Dipper gradually formed. When it was fully formed, the devouring power coming out of the jade slip suddenly stopped.

Han Li breathed out a sigh of relief and happily picked up the new jade slip before putting his divine sense into it again and his eyes could not help widening.

The contents in the jade slip had also changed. The original numerous small yellow characters had disappeared, and large golden characters had appeared instead.

“This…” Han Li was stunned and quickly read through it.

Fifteen minutes passed before he raised his head, joy in his eyes.

The small gold characters in the jade slip recorded a secret body cultivation skill called “Minor Big Dipper Nascent Skill”.

According to the information left by the Patriarch Cold Fire, this skill was not owned by the Spirit Imperial World, but was a skill from the Immortal World. It was found by the Patriarch after ascending and he had passed it down to the lower world.

It was worth nothing that when cultivating this skill, it did not rely on the spiritual power of Heaven and Earth, but through the power of gathering starlight into the body to refine it.

The whole skill could be divided into seven levels. Every level mastered could produce a mysterious orifice and when the seven levels were perfected, it could produce seven mysterious orifices, and be trained into the most powerful body that could be cultivated into the legendary Immortal.

The abnormality in his Nascent Soul made him unable to use the powers of Heaven and Earth to cultivate, but he might be able to try with the power of starlight.

But Patriarch Cold Fire had pointed out that when using starlight power to refine the body, one would suffer from the great pain of the starlight stabbing the body all the time.

Besides, this skill was not an orthodox one, it could greatly strengthen the body, but could not enhance the cultivation base. If one did not want to constantly fight for their life, then they should not bother cultivating this skill. After cultivating it, he could only go on an immortal path that was even harder than ordinary immortals.

The most important thing was that to cultivate this skill, it needed a strong body and also a powerful divine sense to draw the power of starlight into the body. Therefore, people who were not strong enough in divine sense could not cultivate this skill.

And when Patriarch Cold Fire passed down this skill from the Immortal World, he had set a special restriction seal on the jade slip. Only those with enough divine sense could break through and see the cultivation technique for the Minor Big Dipper Nascent Skill.

Han Li gripped the jade slip tightly, his heart slightly excited and he had a good feeling about this skill.

This Minor Big Dipper Nascent Skill seemed to be tailor-made for him. Although the jade slip said that it was extremely tough to cultivate, he did not hesitate at all.

But at this moment, the jade slip in his hand suddenly disintegrated and turned into a dazzling golden light.

When Han Li saw this, his pupils constricted and he looked up.

The golden light was suspended in mid-air and with a slight twist, a golden figure was formed. It was a big middle-aged man with a square face and a little beard. He gave people an impression of grandeur.

Han Li was shocked. He had seen the picture of this person in the sect. It was Patriarch Cold Fire!

“Good! Good! Good! My efforts have not been in vain. Finally someone is able to break the seal! From which peak are you a disciple of? What’s your name?” Patriarch Cold Fire looked at Han Li and asked with a smile.

“I’m…” Han Li’s mind turned and he intended to fool the Patriarch at first.

It was obvious that the man in front of him was a doppelganger left by the Patriarch’s divine sense, but it still gave him a sense of oppression and the man’s power must be immense.

“Oh!” Patriarch Cold Fire interrupted Han Li’s words and sized Han Li up.

His eyes turned cold and he asked, “Why don’t you have any air of cultivation technique from the sect? Are you not an inner sect disciple?”

“Patriarch, I’m a guest Elder who just joined the sect and haven’t had the time to practice any cultivation techniques from the sect,” Han Li frowned in his heart, but said hurriedly.

“Guest Elder? How can a guest Elder attain the jade slip for the Minor Big Dipper Nascent Skill?” Patriarch Cold Fire asked.

Han Li was at a loss of words for a moment.

Patriarch Cold Fire looked away and at Han Li’s feet.

There was a pile of crystal powder.

When Han Li saw this, his expression remained unfazed, but his heart cried out terribly.
