Chapter 528: Come Out to See Me
Han Li tried to rouse Jin Tong from her slumber through their spiritual connection, but she displayed no signs of waking up, so he could only put her back into his spirit beast pouch.
The breeze blowing over the mountain was very cool and refreshing, and the sun was already beginning to rise in the distance.
A short while later, Meng Yungui and the others arrived on the mountain summit to meet Han Li.
He told them the same thing that he had already informed Meng Qianqian of earlier, then departed on his own without lingering any longer, leaving Meng Qianqian to look on with a sullen expression.
"Master Li's cultivation base seems to have advanced even further. I think he's become even more powerful than the Golden Immortal Stage Dao Lords of the Blaze Dragon Dao," Sun Buzheng murmured unadulterated admiration in his eyes.
"That's why we need to work even harder in our cultivation. We may not be able to help him in the future, but we definitely can't weigh him down," Meng Qianqian said.
"Qianqian's right. We definitely can't put ourselves in a position where Master Li has to come and save us again. Once everything is settled in Bright Cloud City, let's follow Master Li's instructions and travel to the Black Wind Sea right away," Meng Yungui said.
......
A month later.
In the sky above a boundless blue sea, a streak of azure light was racing through the clouds, doing so at such an incredible speed that it was impossible to track with the naked eye.
However, after flying for some time, the carriage drew to an abrupt halt.
Han Li was standing atop the carriage in his usual azure robe, holding a shimmering golden spirit beast pouch.
A surprised look flashed through his eyes as he opened the spirit beast pouch, and a mountainous golden beetle instantly emerged from within.
It was none other than Jin Tong in her true form, and her entire body was glowing with radiant golden light.
Furthermore, he entire body was riddled with countless peculiar patterns that were giving off a terrifying aura.
However, Han Li noticed that the beetle's eyes were still closed, indicating that it was still sleeping.
Through raising Gold Devouring Beetles back in the Spirit Realm, he learned that they evolved by devouring one another, but it seemed that Jin Tong was currently on the cusp of a breakthrough after devouring a large number of treasures.
No wonder her aura's been fluctuating unsteadily ever since she ate that cauldon... Han Li thought to himself, and the concern in his heart faded away as he sensed Jin Tong's steadily rising aura.
Right as he was about to set up an array to conceal the signs of Jin Tong's breakthrough, its eyes abruptly sprang open, and a thunderous burp rang out.
A pillar of translucent light that was over 1,000 feet in length then erupted out of its mouth, covering a distance of several hundred kilometers in the blink of an eye.
The sea down below was completely parted by the pillar of light, to the extent that the entire seabed was revealed.
Immediately thereafter, the golden light radiating from Jin Tong's body rapidly faded, and it quickly reverted back to a little girl.
The little girl stretched lazily with a bleary look in her eyes, seemingly having only just woken up.
Han Li was left feeling rather speechless upon seeing this.
At this moment, her aura indicated that she was already at the late-Golden Immortal Stage. She had made a breakthrough just by eating some things and taking a nap.
He knew that the key to Jin Tong's breakthrough had to have been that pill cauldron from the High Zenith Palace, while the other treasures that she devoured thereafter only had a secondary effect.
It appeared that she had easily made this breakthrough, but in reality, she had devoured so much resources in the process that even the average High Zenith Stage Jade Immortal may not be able to support her.
As Jin Tong finally woke up, her tummy began to grumble, and she asked, "Is there anything to eat, Uncle?"
"Of course!"
Han Li flipped a hand over to produce a giant ax that was riddled with runes before handing it over to Jin Tong, and she grabbed onto the ax with both hands before sinking her teeth into it.
A faint smile appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this, and he dragged Jin Tong back onto the carriage, then flipped a hand over to produce a white jade slip.
Everything in the Northern Glacial Immortal Region had already been taken care of, so it was time for him to leave, but before that, there was one more place that he had to visit.
With that in mind, he made a hand seal, and the green jade flying carriage quickly vanished into the distance as a streak of light.
......
The Upper Arr Continent was situated to the south of the Northern Glacial Immortal Region, and in contrast with the Ancient Cloud Continent and the Infernal Frost Continent, the climate here was very warm, so it was a continent that was thriving with vitality. There were countless lush forests and swamps that were teeming with snakes and ferocious beasts, making it unfit for mortal habitation.
Hence, despite the continent's fertile lands and abundant resources, it only had a tiny population of mortals, far below that of the northern continents. Due to the abundance of spirit veins here, the continent was teeming with spiritual qi and all types of spirit plants and precious beasts, so there were many cultivating sects here. As the number one spirit mountain range of the Upper Arr Continent, the Ancient Point Mountain Range was vastly renowned across the entire continent.
However, what was even more renowned was the Vast Flow Palace within the Ancient Point Mountain Range, while Grand Palace Master Luo Qinghai was an almighty immortal who ranked alongside the likes of Baili Yan of the Blaze Dragon Dao and Feng Tiandu of the Dawn Fall Sect.
The five extreme palace masters were also all Golden Immortals, and they presided over the five Vast Flow Extreme Palaces that were littered all over the continent.
Aside from them, there were many more vastly renowned figures in the sect, but the Vast Flow Palace had always liked to keep a low profile. Most of its members spent the majority of their time cultivating in seclusion, and they very rarely left the sect, so not much was known about the sect to outsiders.
At this moment, a tall man with a thick beard was currently standing in the sky near the Ancient Point Mountain Range. It was none other than Han Li in disguise.
As he inspected the mountain range up ahead, he was recalling the information that he had gathered pertaining to the Vast Flow Palace.
From his perspective, the Ancient Point Mountain Range was enshrouded in a mysterious veil of cloud and mist.
The mountain range was filled with abundant spiritual qi, particularly that of the water attribute.
A short while later, Han Li continued onward, and not long after he entered the Ancient Point Mountain Range, a streak of blue light instantly flew out from within to greet him. It was a blue spirit boat shaped like a fish, and there were several Vast Flow Palace disciples standing on it. led by a square-faced young man who appeared to be in his twenties.
Judging from their attire, they appeared to be patrolling disciples of the Vast Flow Palace, and all of them were at the Deity Transformation Stage, while their leader was a Spatial Tempering cultivator.
The square-faced young man was observing Han Li with a wary look in his eyes, but he still extended a respectful salute as he said, "I am Attendant Li Ang of the outer place. May I ask your name and the purpose for your visit, Senior?"
Han Li wore a cold expression, and he didn't even take a single glance at these people before a burst of tremendous spiritual pressure erupted out of his body without any warning.
The blue spirit boat was instantly sent flying like a leaf in a tornado, and all of the Vast Flow Palace disciples on it threw up mouthfuls of blood before falling unconscious on the spot.
Han Li continued onward without pause, but Li Ang was able to remain conscious, and he swept a sleeve through the air to send a burst of blue light erupting into the heavens as he yelled, "We're under enemy attack!"
A resounding boom rang out as the burst of blue light exploded in the sky before spreading outward in all directions.
Han Li made no attempt to stop what he was doing. In fact, he didn't even bother to take a glance at Li Ang as he continued to fly onward.
Immediately thereafter, countless streaks of light erupted out of all parts of the mountain range to stand in Han Li's path.
These were all Vast Flow Palace cultivators who possessed far superior cultivation bases to Li Ang, and they were led by a group of early and mid-True Immortal cultivators.
"Stop! Who dares to encroach upon our Vast Flow Palace?" an elderly man yelled in a furious voice.
"Get Luo Qinghai to come out and see me," Han Li declared in an expressionless manner, following which a vast wave of azure light erupted out of his body, sending all of the surrounding cultivators flying through the air.
Right at this moment, an extremely deep and resonant voice rang out. "Welcome, Fellow Daoist. Please forgive these juniors for their rudeness. May I ask your name?"
At the same time, a gentle breeze blew past, instantly scattering the wave of azure light.
Han Li raised an eyebrow as he stopped in his tracks.
Immediately thereafter, a blue-robed elderly man appeared not far in front of him.
The man was quite tall, with a long beard that trailed all the way down to his chest, but his skin was dark green in color, presenting a rather peculiar sight to behold.
The vast aura emanating from his body indicated that he was a Golden Immortal.
Han Li took a glance at the elderly man, but offered no response.
The elderly man wasn't bothered by this, and he cupped his fist in a salute as he said, "I don't think we've ever met before, Fellow Daoist. What is the purpose of your visit?"
"Get Luo Qinghai to come out and see me," Han Li repeated.
"I'm afraid you haven't come at a good time, Fellow Daoist. Palace Master Luo left the sect a very long time ago, and he still hasn't returned yet. If you have something important to discuss with him, you can leave a message with me, and I'll be sure to pass on the message once he returns."
"The Infernal Frost Immortal Palace has already closed, and I ran into Grand Palace Master Luo in Black Wind City some time ago. Back then, he had already set off back to the Vast Flow Palace. Surely you're not telling me that he still hasn't returned?" Han Li asked with a mocking sneer.
The elderly man's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this.
"It's fine if Luo Qinghai doesn't want to meet me, but in that case, I'll have to advise your Vast Flow Palace to select two more extreme palace masters," Han Li continued with a cold smile.
The elderly man's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "What did you just say?"
Meanwhile, everyone else was exchanging befuddled glances with one another.
