"Hmph! What nonsense. There's nothing wrong with this woman. She has some connection to me, after all. But since she's seen some of our memories today, it's best to quietly erase them. Otherwise, if she accidentally lets anything slip, not only will I be in trouble, but she'll also invite a deadly disaster." Han Li scoffed, speaking without good humor.

He said no more. A flash of green qi appeared on his face as he pressed his open palm onto the woman's head. He began to perform a secret technique called the "Dream Inducement Art," recorded in the profound scriptures, to seal and alter her relevant memories. He made her believe that she had merely met a generous senior master today, who had fortunately bestowed upon her a Foundation Establishment Pill and some other elixirs. All memories related to Han Li were sealed.

This secret art, which altered another's spiritual sense, was naturally far beyond the "Spirit Control Art" or the previous Carefree Needle and Dust-Forgetting Pill. Unless a cultivator far superior to Han Li personally cast a spell to undo it, there was no way to break it. However, this spell could only be cast when there was a significant difference in cultivation levels between the two parties; otherwise, if something went wrong, the recipient's spiritual sense would be damaged. Han Li only felt confident performing this technique because the woman's cultivation was too low.

A full fifteen minutes passed before Han Li finished casting, and the woman remained in a deep slumber. He carefully placed the woman back on the chair. Han Li then took the opportunity to visit the pavilion where Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao's memorial tablets were kept. He offered a proper tribute to them, and after reducing the Fu family ancestor's head to ashes, he quietly departed.

"...things. Master seems to value it greatly," Silvermoon, who had returned to her spirit form, asked curiously in Han Li's mind.

"It's a book of formation techniques from the ancient wildlands, containing several profound ancient formations. With my current understanding of formations, I won't be able to comprehend them in a short time. But besides the formations, it also records a very peculiar secret cultivation art at the end, which I found quite interesting," Han Li said leisurely as he flew through the sky.

"A secret art? With Master's current knowledge and a complete set of profound scriptures, what kind of secret art could still pique your interest?" Silvermoon chuckled, her curiosity growing stronger.

"Have you heard of the famous divine ability, 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones'?" Han Li smiled faintly, speaking unhurriedly.

"What? Is it possible that it records the Daoist sect's foremost profound art?" Silvermoon's soft chuckle abruptly ceased, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Of course not," Han Li immediately denied.

"Ah? Then why did Master mention that Daoist divine ability? Are you deliberately teasing Silvermoon? I was thinking, how could such a heaven-defying secret art easily flow out of the Daoist sect? The Daoist sect itself doesn't even know if it's been lost!" Silvermoon sounded deflated.

"The secret art recorded in the jade slip, though not the 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones' profound art, is a similar demonic ability called 'Mystic Shepherd Incarnation'," Han Li's previously calm expression turned a little strange, a hint of excitement hidden in his eyes.

"'Mystic Shepherd Incarnation'? What's that? I've never heard of it before," Silvermoon paused, a hint of surprise and doubt in her voice.

"I've never heard of it either, but it's a genuine secret art for cultivating a second nascent soul. It can even cultivate a second nascent soul!" Han Li's voice became solemn as he spoke.

"A second nascent soul! Really? If it can truly achieve this, then even if it's not as good as 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones,' it's still a major divine ability of a similar level!" Silvermoon became re-energized upon hearing this. The greater Han Li's divine abilities, the closer she would be to her goal.

"Whether it's true or not, I don't know yet. I'll have to return to Falling Cloud Sect to study it thoroughly. However, the formations recorded at the beginning of the jade slip are indeed genuine ancient formations. Since they are copied within the same jade slip, the other contents should also be authentic," Han Li's voice returned to calm after a brief surge of excitement.

"Tsk, tsk. To think someone would directly deliver this to Master. It seems Master's fortune is quite good. However, although demonic secret arts are no less powerful than Daoist ones, and sometimes even better, they always carry some degree of impetuousness and eagerness for quick results, leaving behind many drawbacks. The greater the divine ability, the more obvious this becomes. Master, you should carefully examine this for any potential flaws when you return," Silvermoon recalled something and offered a reminder.

"I know that too. I'll naturally be careful. If there are any improprieties, I won't cultivate it," Han Li replied very soberly.

Silvermoon was instantly reassured by Han Li's words. But then she asked, a little strangely: "Master, the direction you're flying in doesn't seem to be towards Xi Country. Aren't you planning to return to Falling Cloud Sect now?"

"Not to Xi Country for now. Since I'm already here, I plan to visit Yue Country. After all, I was born in that country, and there are still some worldly ties I need to resolve. Otherwise, there will always be a lingering concern in my heart, which isn't conducive to my future cultivation progress," Han Li said frankly after a sigh.

"That's a good approach. At Master's current realm, only by completely severing worldly attachments can one truly pursue the supreme Dao," Silvermoon agreed after a moment of silence.

"Alright, enough idle chatter. I need to travel at full speed now." Han Li coldly finished speaking, no longer intending to converse with Silvermoon. His figure suddenly transformed into a green rainbow, soaring away at several times his previous speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Han Li was unaware that tens of thousands of miles away, several green-robed cultivators were secretly discussing something in a forest, their faces filled with apprehension.

"What do we do? Several more days have passed, and there's still no news of the spirit infant. If we truly can't find it within three months, the sect will probably send enforcement envoys," a seemingly robust man said to the others, his anxiety palpable.

"Hmph! Their words about making us retrieve the nascent soul within three months were probably just Grandmaster's angry outburst. After all, everyone knows that once the Supreme Wood Spirit Infant breaks free from its seal, it's impossible for us Foundation Establishment cultivators to re-seal it. But if we don't even have a single clue about its whereabouts, then we'll truly be in grave trouble," another middle-aged scholar with a cold demeanor said, his face ashen.

"But the escape of the spirit infant has nothing to do with us! It was Martial Uncle Ning, who was responsible for guarding the spirit infant, who sent us juniors away and presumptuously defied orders to secretly merge with the spirit infant, only to die from a backlash. By the time we arrived, the spirit infant had already vanished. Although we have magic tools to restrain and track it, the spirit infant's escape speed is too fast for us to catch up. Moreover, the spirit infant is now isolated by a seal, so we can't sense it at all," a plain-looking green-robed woman argued, a trace of fear in her voice.

"Sister, save those words for the incoming enforcement envoys. However, thankfully, I heard that Martial Uncle Han and Martial Uncle Liu will come to support us. With their wood spirit roots and cultivation levels, they should be able to find the spirit infant even if it's sealed. But I'm quite curious: how could someone seal such a ferocious item as the Supreme Wood Spirit Infant without a specially made magic tool to restrain it? It's truly incredible," the scholar scoffed, greatly puzzled.

"Alright, never mind what kind of spirit infant is sealed. As long as we can find this person's whereabouts, we can save our lives. Didn't the message from over there say that Grandmaster Kuang would personally take action?" the last speaker, an old man with slightly yellowed eyebrows, said coldly.

"Second Senior Brother is right; we're lucky to even save our lives now. But unfortunately, a teleportation array broke down midway. The two Martial Uncles will have to fly for two days to reach the next teleportation array controlled by our sect, from which they can teleport to us. Calculating the time, they should arrive within the next day or two. During this period, will the cultivator who sealed the spirit infant have left Yuanwu Country and gone to other countries? After all, we don't even know which country this person is from," the robust man frowned, his face showing concern.

"Hehe! You junior brothers don't know, do you? Martial Uncles Han and Liu are the designated candidates for merging with the spirit infant. Many years ago, they cultivated a special secret art specifically for this purpose. Even if the spirit infant is very far away, they can still sense its direction. The cultivator who sealed the spirit infant will definitely not escape the two Martial Uncles' senses," the old man said with a calm demeanor, seemingly very confident.

Upon hearing the old man's words, the other three relaxed slightly, letting out a small sigh of relief. But after a glint flickered in the scholar's eyes, he asked with some uncertainty and doubt: "However, is it possible that the person who sealed the Supreme Wood Spirit Infant is the same cultivator who annihilated the entire Fu family? Otherwise, what a coincidence! The spirit infant disappeared near the Fu family, and a few days later, the Fu family was wiped out. Our plan to use the Fu family's power also went down the drain. Could that person have known about our connection to the Fu family and deliberately acted so ruthlessly?"

"Junior Brother Jiu, you're overthinking it. How could the other party be so powerful as to know about our Spirit Control Sect's minor connection to the Fu family? It's most likely just a coincidence. However, it is indeed somewhat unlikely for two Nascent Soul stage old monsters to appear in the same place at the same time. Perhaps it really was done by the same cultivator," the woman first shook her head, but after a brief analysis, she also became somewhat doubtful.

"Oh, what's done by the same person? Could you tell us about it?" A soft, young woman's voice lazily drifted from behind a large tree. Then, white figures flickered, and two gracefully shaped women in white robes appeared shoulder to shoulder before them.
