Chapter 1029: Investigation
Shortly thereafter, Han Li returned to the White Head Valley.
After hearing what the village chief had to say earlier, Han Li had determined that faint time law powers within the spring were able to alter the bodies of the villagers bathing inside, either restoring their youth or accelerating their deaths.
If he were to cultivate his Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra here, then there was a very good chance that he would be able to make a breakthrough in a shorter time, thereby making him better equipped to deal with the likes of Qi Mozi.
However, the time law powers in the spring seemed to be rather inconsistent, and according to the village chief, it only appeared for short windows once every over a hundred years, so if he wanted to make use of it, he would have to find the root of the time law powers first.
Upon entering the valley, Han Li began to examine the jagged rocks on either side of it instead of immediately venturing deeper into the valley.
It didn't take long for him to notice that there were many golden seal text runes engraved onto the surrounding rocks.
Some of the runes were still relatively intact, while others were far less so, but all of them had already lost their original spiritual nature.
No wonder I detected some time law power fluctuations earlier, but I can't detect them now that I'm in here. It's quite remarkable that these runes have such a strong concealment effect even in their current state, Han Li thought to himself as he stroked one of the runes on a nearby giant rock.
All of a sudden, a thought occurred to him. If the concealment effect in this place was so potent, then why didn't he make this his new hiding place?
Over the past two years, even though he hadn't been caught by his Immortal Palace pursuers, they were constantly hot on his tail, keeping him constantly on edge. Every once in a while, he would release a puppet that bore a hint of his aura to try and confound his pursuers, but even so, he was still unable to truly shake them off.
With that in mind, Han Li began to carefully examine the White Head Valley while occasionally extending a finger to trace the runes engraved onto the rocks around him.
Only as the sun began to rise did he finally sit down onto a large rock, feeling thoroughly exhausted at this point.
