Chapter 856: Chapter 366: Purple Gang Mysterious Energy, Mysterious Half-Immortal_3

However, the Spirit Origin Fire, being an Immortal Fire, was too terrifying for Han Yi’s Divine Consciousness and inner space to handle. So, he had to use his Divine Force to store it in his Divine Aperture.

As for the Purple Mysterious Jade Marrow, it was a sort of jade marrow born from the core of the Purple Gang Mysterious Ore, which was heavy but did not possess an immense offensive power like the Immortal Fire. Han Yi had a tough time absorbing it into his Internal Cave World.

“However, this is quite strange.”

“Underneath this shattered land, there’s no Purple Gang Mysterious Ore, so where did this Purple Mysterious Jade Marrow come from?”

“Could it be that when the lord of the Immortal Spirit Realm where this land lies met a demise, this Jade Marrow just so happened to enter it, got concealed, and luckily escaped the detection of other cultivators, surviving till now?”

“This, seems a little too coincidental.”

...

Han Yi gathered a few strands of dispersing Purple Gang aura into a jade vase, then without any further delay, he headed back the way he came.

Although he wasn’t deep into this area, he was quite far from his team. So, he decided not to venture any deeper for fear of potential emergencies with no reinforcements available.

Han Yi took off and vanished into the void from whence he came.

Three months after his departure.

A shadow silently emerged from the void and closeby arrived at a broken palace floating in the air. Upon seeing certain marks outside the palace, he was overjoyed.

“That’s right, this should be the place.”

“Even with thirty years gone by, the ruins here shouldn’t have changed much.”

“Just need to search the surroundings, and I should be able to locate that piece of Jade Marrow.”

This shadow was a middle-aged cultivator, who didn’t try to hide his Half-immortal aura.

His figure flickered in the nearby void.

Half a Chinese hour later, he arrived at the location where Han Yi had found the Divine Seed. He stepped into that pit and, after a few breaths, came out again.

The half-immortal middle-aged cultivator who emerged from the pit wore a dark look on his previously calm face.

He formed a sign with his hands and reached out into the void. Catching a barely noticeable trace of aura circulating on his fingertip.

“This aura, it’s from a Divine Core.”

“No doubt about it.”

“That means, the Divine Seed here has already absorbed energy and transformed into a Divine Core.”

“So, there are only two possibilities for my Purple Mysterious Jade Marrow.”

“One, the Divine Core has solidified into a Mechanical Divine Clan of the Spirit Shedding Stage, and took away the Jade Marrow.”

“The other, a cultivator has arrived here and killed the potential Spirit Shedding Stage Mechanical Divine Clan, or maybe an incomplete Mechanical Divine Clan which hasn’t yet reached the Spirit Shedding Stage, and took both the fragments of the Divine Core and the Jade Marrow.”

“If it’s a Spirit Shedding Stage Mechanical Divine Clan, then this person must at least be a Half-immortal, while if it’s an incomplete Mechanical Divine Clan, then this person could be a Peak Transformation God.”

“If the Mechanical Divine Clan left on its own, or if an Immortal person got hold of the Jade Marrow, I naturally have to give up, helpless.”

“But if it’s someone below Immortal, they would need to hand over the fragments of the Divine Core, and it wouldn’t be hard to find out who it was if I wanted to.”

“Hmph, I want to see who has taken advantage of my Immortal Affinity.”

The sullen middle-aged Half-immortal lightly pinched and then turned the core’s aura on his fingertip into a puff of dust.

Next, he tried to detect the aura of any cultivators who might have previously been on this shattered land, but to no avail, as it had been too long, and Han Yi had purposely controlled his aura.

His eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. He huffed heavily, flickered his figure, and left the shattered land.

Elsewhere.

Han Yi had no idea that he was about to land himself in trouble with the masterless Jade Marrow he had obtained.

After reuniting with other cultivators, he continued his search for Divine Seeds in the surroundings.

It was as if finding the Purple Mysterious Jade Marrow had exhausted his luck, as afterward, he found nothing.

Within what seemed like no time, a year had passed.

This routine task brought surprises but no danger to Han Yi, the surprise of course being the Purple Mysterious Jade Marrow.

After returning to the Seventy-eighth Immortal Castle via the Immortal Boat, he, like the other cultivators, was teleported via a transmission point set up in the castle to the Ten-Thousand Battle Node.

The Ten-Thousand Battle Node, naturally, was a fixture connected to the Ten-Thousand Battle Palace within the Immortal Mansion.

Every Immortal Castle under the Age Candle Immortal Court not only housed a Ten-Thousand Battle Node but also others like the Virtue Node. However, they weren’t called Palaces but Halls on these nodes.

For example, only the Ten-Thousand Battle Hall could be found on the Ten-Thousand Battle Node.

Han Yi submitted the Divine Seeds, including two small ones and a large cracked Divine Core, that he had gathered during this routine task in the Ten-Thousand Battle Hall.

Fortunately, just like the tasks concerning the Five-Color Spiritual Pillar, Han Yi submitting a cracked Divine Core did not cause much of a stir. But, a few intentional cultivators, on seeing the large Divine Seed that Han Yi had brought out, were quite taken aback.

A moment later.

Han Yi exited the Ten-Thousand Battle Hall, his heart pounding because this task had earned him immense points – a total of 190 for the two tiny Divine Seeds and a whopping 8300 for the cracked enormous Divine Core.

Even most Spirit Transformation cultivators couldn’t earn such points throughout their entire tenure.

But as he stepped into the teleportation point to return to the Moon Shadow Node, he suddenly sensed a weak, inexplicable killing intention.

His brows furrowed, and as he suddenly turned his head around and looked back, he saw a middle-aged man, his face gloomy, staring hard at him.

Just before he teleported away, two thoughts crossed his mind.

“I don’t recognize this man.”

“Why does he have killing intent toward me?”
