Even though Earthly Immortals were restricted by their territory, it was still a rather tempting prospect for him to be able to master the power of laws through this special method of cultivation.

Back in the Spirit Realm, he had witnessed the power of laws on more than one occasion. In particularly, he had firsthand experience of just how mighty the power of laws were on the occasions where he used Profound Heavenly Treasures that contained the power of laws of heaven and earth, such as the Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword.

This was a type of power that the average cultivation art, secret technique, or even spirit treasure simply couldn\'t compare with. [1]

However, at the same time, mastery over the power of the laws was something that was extremely luck-dependent. Even someone who possessed a treasure that was imbued with the power of laws could spend their entire life pursuing this goal without ever achieving it. If it were possible to master the power of laws by beoming an Earthly Immortal, then that was certainly an option that was worth considering.

Given the current circumstances, it was very likely that the Ancestral God of Dark Veil Island had already perished, so there most likely weren\'t going to be any issues if Han Li wanted to take his place and become the Earthly Immortal of this region.

With that in mind, he suddenly swept a hand through the air, and the shadow that he cast onto the ground rippled sligtly, following which a dark figure emerged, revealing itself to be none other than Mo Guang.

Following his emergence, Mo Guang inspected his surroundings with a wooden expression, then said, "Congratulations on finally returning to the Immortal Realm, Fellow Daoist Han. However, I can sense that the world\'s origin qi here is very sparse. Could it be that you ascended to somewhere extremely secluded?"

"That\'s right. The place we\'re currently at is called the Black Wind Sea, and it\'s an extremely remote area in the Northern Glacial Immortal Region," Han Li replied in a calm voice.

"The Black Wind Sea... I seem to have heard that name before, but I don\'t have a very clear recollection of it. This place does seem to be very remote, but that could be a blessing. At the very least, you won\'t have to worry about having your identity exposed or being detected by your enemies in the Immortal Realm for now," Mo Guang said.

"Indeed, that was also part of my considerations," Han Li replied with a wry smile.

The remote nature of this location was indeed one of the reasons why he had decided to stay here for now.

"Why have you summoned me, Fellow Daoist Han?" Mo Guang asked.

"How much do you know about Earthly Immortals, Fellow Daoist Mo Guang?" Han Li asked in a direct and straightforward manner.

"Earthly Immortals? I do know a thing or two about them. These immortals manifest the power of laws by gathering the power of faith, and they\'re considered to be extremely rare in the Immortal Realm. Why do you ask, Fellow Daoist Han?" Mo Guang asked.

"Extremely rare? Why is that? Aside from the fact that Earthly Immortals are restricted by the areas that they preside over, what other drawbacks are there?" Han Li asked instead of answering Mo Guang\'s question.

"Earthly Immortals are able to manifest the power of laws by harnessing the power of faith, but there are many limitations to such a method of cultivation. Not only are they unable to use their power of laws outside of their area of jurisdiction, due to the fact that their magic power has been contaminated by the power of faith, it\'ll be far less pure than the magic power of other immortals of the same caliber.

“On top of that, harnessing the power of faith is an extremely slow process, which will result in Earthly Immortals generally progressing far slower in their cultivation than the average immortal," Mo Guang replied.

"That does sound like a lot of limitations..." Han Li mused with a contemplative expression.

There were quite a few Earthly Immortals in the Black Wind Sea, but that was most likely only due to the special geographic environment of this area.

From the scriptures he had read, he had learned that the entire Black Wind Sea was surrounded by an enormous storm that raged constantly, forming a barrier that completely isolated it from the outside world. Very few immortals from the outside were able to force their way into this place, and the only way to get to the outside world from here was through a teleportation array situated on one of the central islands in the Black Wind Sea.

Due to this special environment, there were many cultivating families and mortals in the Black Wind Sea, thereby making it an ideal location for Earthly Immortals to stamp down their marks.

"Even among Layman Immortals, very few are willing to become Earthly Immortals, given the opportunity," Mo Guang continued.

Han Li faltered slightly upon hearing this before asking, "Layman Immortals? What are those? Are they another type of immortals?"

"Those in the lower realms believe that all immortals are True Immortals, but in reality, only immortals who have mastered the power of laws can be truly referred to as True Immortals. Those who haven\'t mastered any powers of laws are generally only referred to as Layman Immortals, and there\'s a great number of such immortals. In fact, the vast majority of immortals fall into the category of Layman Immortals.

“Due to their lack of mastery over the power of laws, Layman Immortals can only progress in their cultivation by culitvating immortal spiritual power. However, seeing as they aren\'t protected by the power of laws, it\'s far more difficult for them to transcend tribulations and make progress than it is for True Immortals," Mo Guang explained.

"I see..." Han Li murmured to himself.

"Speaking of which, the path of the Profound Immortal that you\'ve pursued means that you\'re acutally also a type of Layman Immortal. Profound Immortals primarily dedicate their efforts to cultivating their physical bodies and do not pursue mastery over the power of laws. Those who believe in attaining the power of laws through pure cultivation of the physical body are extremely rare among Layman Immortals, far more so than even Earthly Immortals," Mo Guang continued.

"Thank you for your detailed explanations, Fellow Daoist Mo Guang," Han Li replied with a nod.

"There may only be a wisp of my soul left, but I\'ve still retained most of my memories about the Immortal Realm. If you have any questions in the future, you can feel free to ask me," Mo Guang said, then vanished back into Han Li\'s shadow before he had a chance to say anything else.

Han Li stood on the spot with his eyes slightly narrowed, processing the information that he had just received.

Moments later, he heaved a faint sigh, then made his way up toward the second floor of the scripture library.

"Immortal treasures draw upon the power of laws of heaven and earth, granting them unfathomable might. Their abilities differ depending on the power of laws that they contain..."

As Han Li was reading through the content of one of the scriptures, he couldn\'t help but think of the Profound Heavenly Fortune Blade and the Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword, the two Profound Heavenly Treasures that he had used back in the Spirit Realm. [2]

The Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword was a treasure that ranked in the top three on the Chaotic Myriad Spirit Roll, possessing the unfathomable ability to disregard the laws of heaven and earth of a realm. In this regard, it was rather similar to the immortal treasures being described.

With that in mind, Han Li turned his attention back to the scripture and continued his reading.

Several minutes later, he closed the scripture, having developed a rough understanding of the concept of immortal treasures.

According to the scripture, Profound Heavenly Treasures were treasures that were born from the power of a realm, and they were a type of immortal treasure. In the Immortal Realm, they were collectively known as Essential Spirit Treasures, and they often appeared in the form of spirit trees right as a realm first came into existence.

After that, the spirit tree would be nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth, allowing it to bear spirit flowers or spirit fruits that were capable of disregarding the laws of heaven and earth of that realm. These spirit flowers and fruits were exceedingly rare, generally with only a maximum of four or five of them able to arise in a certain realm.

The cycle through which these spirit trees bore flowers and fruits was also very unique. The process was normally calculated by units of hundreds of thousands of years, but the flowers and fruits that arose would quickly wilt within the span of a few hours to a few days at the very most.

Such a lengthy growth period coupled with such a brief window of time before these spirit flowers and spirit fruits wilted away made them virtually impossible to obtain.

According to the scripture, aside from Essential Immortal Treasures, there also existed another type of immortal treasure known as Acquired Immortal Treasures. These immortal treasures weren\'t nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth. Instead, they were treasures that were imbued with the power of laws that were refined by immortals.

Neither type of immortal treasure was more powerful than the other, and the power hierarchy was primarily dependent on how much power of laws the treasures possessed, and the types of power of laws that they could wield.

Additionally, the power of the wielder was also an important factor of consideration.

In terms of numbers, Essential Immortal Treasures were far rarer than Acquired Immortal Treasures, but due to the fact that the former often had potential for further evolution through nurturing, they were generally preferred by high-grade immortals.

Of course, both Essential Immortal Treasures and Acquired Immortal Treasures were extremely rare, even in the Immortal Realm, and very few Layman Immortals possessed such immortal treasures. What was even rarer than these immortal treasures were the immortals capable of refining Acquired Immortal Treasures.

At this point in his reading, Han Li couldn\'t help but heave a forlorn sigh as he thought back to the Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword that he once possessed.

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to him, and his lips quivered slightly as he communicated something through voice transmission.

Mere moments later, Luo Feng appeared on the second floor of the scripture library before cupping his fist in a respectful salute. "What are your instructions, Senior Liu?"

Han Li turned to him before asking in a direct and straightforward manner, "Are there any immortal treasures on Dark Veil Island?"

"I\'m afraid not, Senior Liu. Our Ancestral God had previously made attempts to obtain such a treasure, but that wish was never fulfilled. In fact, there are very few Ancestral Gods in the entire Black Wind Sea who possess immortal treasures, let alone our Dark Veil Island," Luo Feng replied with a wry smile.

Han Li didn\'t have high hopes to begin with, but he still couldn\'t help but feel a little disappointed upon hearing this.

However, he was quickly able to collect himself, then continued, "From the scriptures that I\'ve read, I\'ve learned that Ancestral Gods can harness the power of faith to manifest the power of laws. I\'m sure the Ancestral God of your Dark Veil Island must\'ve also mastered a certain power of laws through this method. Which type of law was it?"

Luo Feng faltered slightly upon hearing this, then replied, "Ancestral God Luo Meng mastered the power of the law of water, which is quite commonplace in the Black Wind Sea. Most of the Ancestral Gods on the nearby islands also mastered this type of power of law."

"I see..." Han Li was silent for a moment before a thought occurred to him, and he continued, "On our way here to the scripture library, I noticed many of the people on the island worshipping an Ancestral God statue. Is that statue the Earthly Deity Avatar of your Ancestral God?"

"That statue and all of the other statues on the island are only ordinary statues erected for the purpose of gathering the power of faith. We can communicate with our Ancestral God through them, but they\'re not true Earthly Deity Avatars. There is only a single statue that serves as our Ancestral God\'s Earthly Deity Avatar, and it\'s currently sealed within a restricted zone on the island," Luo Feng replied in a rather hesitant manner.

Han Li was clearly quite intrigued by this, and he immediately instructed, "Where is this restricted zone? Take me there."

Luo Feng was silent for a moment before replying, "Truth be told, Ancestral God Luo Meng\'s Earthly Deity Avatar was shattered after it was severely wounded by a formidable foe 10,000 years ago, and now, only its head remains. If you would like to see it, then I would be more than happy to take you there right away."

"Lead the way," Han Li instructed in a concise manner.
