Chapter 1258: Severing Karmic Ties
After a long silence, Han Li was unable to suppress the mounting unease in his heart any longer, and he began, "Senior..."
However, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the elderly man reached out like lightning, making a grabbing motion toward his chest.
A strand of golden light appeared in the space in front of Han Li, then plucked out the Heaven Controlling Vial from beneath his robe before carrying it into the elderly man's grasp.
Han Li shuddered upon seeing this.
No one knew just what the Heaven Controlling Vial meant to him.
The Heaven Controlling Vial had left its mark on the entirety of his cultivation journey, from his time in the Seven Mysteries Sect in the mortal realm all the way until the present day. It was no exaggeration to say that without the Heaven Controlling Vial, he wouldn't be who he was today.
However, in the face of this elderly man, Han Li was like a child up against a mountain, and it was impossible for him to put up even the slightest resistance.
Given his physical prowess, time law powers, and tremendous spiritual sense, he was confident in his ability to oppose mid-Great Encompassment cultivators at only the early-Great Encompassment Stage, but Dao Ancestors were still simply way too far beyond his reach.
Han Li could only watch helplessly as the elderly man examined the Heaven Controlling Vial, stroking the patterns on its surface while his gaze roamed over it affectionately, as if he had just recovered a long-lost, treasured possession.
Some time later, there was suddenly a change in the look in the elderly man's eyes, but it then quickly returned to normal.
Han Li naturally didn't fail to notice this near-imperceptible change in his expression, and he couldn't help but wonder if the elderly man had been communicating with the vial spirit.
