"Are you trying to disgust me on purpose?"

Facing the onslaught of the fake Han Yu, Han Yu looked utterly displeased.

Indeed, the figure across from him, equivalent to his former self, was relentlessly casting divine techniques.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth took turns appearing, and while the ninth layer appeared to be a spectacle, full of colors, to Han Yu, it looked rather unsophisticated.

The annoying part is that this unsophisticated fellow was actually himself.

Although the divine techniques were numerous, they were too scattered, and none were used to their full extent, except for the Fire Divine Power, which was barely acceptable. That was because it had always been Han Yu’s favorite and also the first of the Five Elements Divine Techniques he had acquired.

Without the support of a Dharma Aspect, the other techniques seemed incredibly rough.

So Han Yu shook his head and uttered words similar to those of a wise elder.

"You are not me, after all."

Since the concept of a physical body didn’t apply here, the figure across naturally lacked his own powerful physique.

Suddenly, a ray of inspiration flashed through, like a fleeting meteor, and at the moment it hit the ground, it burst into a five-colored brilliance emerging from the fake Han Yu’s body, drawing power from the Five Elements.

Reassessing himself at this moment, Han Yu realized that, although he lacked the endless power of his true form, he was not weak now either.

Even without invoking his Dharma Aspect, he could easily defeat someone like Li Yingqi.

A bronze door emerged from illusion to reality, and upon appearing, it opened on its own. With head held high and a light smile, Han Yu stepped forward.

"How long was I unconscious?"

As soon as Han Yu’s soul returned, he immediately inquired within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Three days, not long."

The Artifact Spirit pouted. Given his tendency to fall unconscious for five or six days, this was indeed short.

As for the Pills, they had long been handed over to Xia Wuyou by Quan Xiaotong when they carried Han Yu back.

So this time, Han Yu surprisingly found himself still lying in bed when he awoke.

The Artifact Spirit then relayed the events of the past few days to Han Yu.

Firstly, Chen Xixi and the others had left, taking the ordinary people with them.

Han Yu had expected this; Mu Zili probably wouldn’t dare keep people here indefinitely.

It’s better this way, to prevent any trouble for the Central Continent in the future. If even Mu Zili found them troublesome, then Chen Xixi must be even more problematic.

Then there was a message left for Han Yu by Quan Xiaotong.

It wasn’t really a message, just a question.

"He wants to bring over some more people, all of them elite disciples from various sects."

It seems Quan Xiaotong and the others’ plan had begun; otherwise, they wouldn’t be bringing these disciples over.

This kind of matter didn’t require his input; as long as there was enough space among the reefs, he could bring as many people as he wanted.

In fact, Han Yu even considered expanding the mist to bring in more people if possible.

The reefs here weren’t few and were quite hidden. If they needed more space, it wasn’t a big issue.

The Artifact Spirit nodded and said, "I’ve agreed for you and told him as well."

Regarding the matter of expanding the mist, as long as Han Yu could command Ping, he could do as he wished.

"By the way, why do you seem a bit different?"

Suddenly, the Artifact Spirit, peeking through the Sea of Consciousness, stared intently at Han Yu, blinking as if worried about not seeing clearly. It quickly transformed into a ray of spirit light and flew out, examining Han Yu closely with its little eyes.

It felt that Han Yu seemed to have undergone some sort of change upon waking this time, but it couldn’t pinpoint exactly where.

There must have been a change that it wasn’t aware of, and it didn’t doubt its own senses.

Not only had they shared countless days and nights, but it was also due to its natural perception.

"Different?"

Han Yu couldn’t sense anything. Inside, it seemed that the wise elder had simply drilled some instructions into him; apart from changes in power, there didn’t seem to be anything else?

"Not power... what’s power?"

While the Artifact Spirit usually wasn’t concerned about Han Yu’s strength, since it was never its responsibility, it couldn’t suppress its curiosity and inquired.

Han Yu smiled mysteriously, spread his hands, and in that moment, the energy of Gold Divine Power erupted with an extremely terrifying aura.

The Artifact Spirit’s expression changed drastically, thinking Han Yu was about to self-destruct, and hurriedly retreated back into the Sea of Consciousness.

After a while, with no sign of movement, it angrily flew out again.

"Can you stop scaring people!"

Doing that all of a sudden is quite frightening, you know?

Han Yu laughed heartily, explaining, "This is just pure Gold Divine Power; I wasn’t going to explode. What were you thinking?"

Plus, if I were to experiment with anything dangerous, I wouldn’t do it here. If something went wrong, how many people would die?

"So what is this power?"

The Artifact Spirit was astonished, as this pure, murderous power was extremely refined. It couldn’t resist getting closer to observe, but even after a long time, it didn’t understand.

"Is this the power you obtained in there?"

Unexpectedly, that little coward Sword Spirit was so scary at the fourth tier of Gold Divine Power.

Sword Spirit?

Han Yu’s face darkened at the thought of that fellow. Good heavens, what did it have to do with him?

This brute forced him into a place where hordes of cultivators attacked him.

He shook his head, coughed lightly, and then recounted the temporary challenge the wise elder had given him.

The Artifact Spirit grew increasingly alarmed, wondering if that eccentric old man was being so generous?

Not only guiding Han Yu, but helping him maximize his Gold Divine Power and even shore up all his weaknesses.

"The result is as such, but the process was quite unpleasant,"

Han Yu scoffed, since the elder’s nagging was incredibly annoying.

With a peculiar look, the Artifact Spirit observed him, eventually sighing.

"You should be content! Do you realize how much easier this guidance makes your path?"

Certainly, Han Yu might eventually learn on his own, but how can one avoid missteps?

Is that eccentric old man worried something might happen to Han Yu?

If calculated like this, with Han Yu’s physical body complementing his understanding of divine techniques, his combat strength might increase significantly.

Also, are these changes in Han Yu also related to the wise elder?

"Haven’t you noticed any changes in yourself?"

The Artifact Spirit still maintained its peculiar tone.

Perplexed, Han Yu thought that besides these gains, he hadn’t gotten anything else inside, had he?

Until he suddenly jerked his head.

"What’s Xia Wuyou doing here?"

The Artifact Spirit looked at him with a ghostly expression, and shortly after, Xia Wuyou entered slowly. Upon seeing Han Yu, his face lit up, and then his expression turned incredibly strange when he glanced at the Artifact Spirit.

"You’re awake!"

After greeting Han Yu, he spoke to the Artifact Spirit in a strange tone, "You forgot to tell me the effect of the Pills again."

Heaven have mercy; he had already presented the Pills over there, only to be left speechless for a long while.

Since when he came to get the Pills, the Artifact Spirit forgot to mention it, and he forgot to ask.

With an embarrassed expression, the Artifact Spirit coughed a few times before hastily explaining the effect of the Pills.

"They’re still waiting to take them, I’ll head back quickly,"

Xia Wuyou apologized and left as quickly as he came.

Once he left, the Artifact Spirit resumed its peculiar questioning.

"Have you not noticed any changes in yourself yet?"

Just now, it had also sensed the approaching aura, which wasn’t difficult for it.

But Han Yu had also sensed the other person’s arrival, making it even more intriguing.

Han Yu suddenly realized something, and cursed out loud...
