Chapter 1500

Han Li swept his spiritual sense over the wooden box, then lightly stroked it with his finger, and fell silent in contemplation.

After a while, he lifted the lid of the wooden box, and with a whoosh, a jet-black pearl like ink flew out from inside.

The black pearl spun before Han Li, then transformed into a burst of black haze that exploded and vanished in a flash.

Almost simultaneously, Han Li felt an itch in the palm of his hand.

His heart stirred, and he suddenly raised his hand.

Only then did he see several strange small characters appear in his palm, each the size of a grain of rice, faint and nearly invisible.

Han Li glanced up, then shook his wrist.

Amidst the flashing green light, the several small characters completely disappeared without a trace.

After pondering for a while, green light rose all over his body, transforming into a green rainbow that shot out of the quiet chamber, circled once, and sped straight toward the gate of the cave dwelling.

After a quarter of an hour, above an unnamed valley at the edge of the mountain range, the green rainbow arrived like a heavenly dragon piercing through the sky.

The green light faded, and Han Li's figure appeared in the low sky of the valley.

His eyes flickered as he glanced downward a few times, then he slowly floated down.

This valley covers an area of only about a thousand square zhang, and at one end of the valley, there is a small pile of chaotic stones.

Han Li happened to land right in front of this stone pile.

"Han Mou has arrived as promised; may the two fellow Daoists reveal yourselves." Han Li said, his feet just touching the ground, as he faced a certain boulder in the chaotic stone pile without changing his expression.

"Hehe, Yan stone steps, I said it would be so. This concealment technique certainly cannot hide from Brother Han."

"I also know that Daoist Han surely possesses extraordinary abilities, so doing this is merely a test."

After a light laugh, the pleasant conversation of the two women suddenly transmitted from that boulder.

Following a flash of gray light, two beautiful young women appeared together upon it.

One had skin like snow and a face like a celestial maiden; the other was petite in figure, exceedingly charming, and both wore smiles.

They were indeed Yuan Yao and Yan Li!

The black wooden box Han Li received in his cave dwelling was originally crafted from the soul-nourishing wood in the Xu Tian Dian.

Therefore, he recognized it at a glance.

I do not know what mysterious ability the two women used, but they managed to deliver the wooden box to the outside of his secret chamber without the knowledge of gods or ghosts.

"Indeed, it is the two fellow Daoists! Miss Yuan, since our parting in the chaotic Star Sea, have you been well?" Han Li gazed at the two women, a strange color flashing across his face, and asked slowly.

"Han Brother, are you mocking me? Look at me and Yan stone steps—do we look unharmed?" Yuan Yao's smile faded as she sighed.

"That is also true. It was Han Mou who spoke inappropriately. However, I see that the two ladies do not seem to be ghostly entities. There must be something strange about them." Han Li sensed the astonishing yin aura emanating from the two women, furrowed his brows, and said.

"Han Brother guessed correctly. Back then, to save me, my junior sister fell into the ghost mist of the chaotic Star Sea. We two relied on the yin energy there to cultivate the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique. But this human-ghost dual cultivation method has also turned us into this half-human, half-ghost state. In short, it is because I lack a physical body that I have implicated my junior sister." Yan Li spoke with an expression of guilt.

"Senior sister, what are you saying? If it weren't for your help back then, I would have long been dead or alive unknown. How could you have ended up in this state?" Yuan Yao's expression changed, and she hurriedly explained.

Yan Li could only bitterly smile and shake her head repeatedly.

"Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique?" Han Li's brows tightened further.

"Exactly! It seems Han Brother knows quite a bit about this technique." Yan Li turned her head, her beautiful eyes flashing as she spoke.

"Han Mou indeed knows a little about this ***; so saying, the two of you have already lost the qualification to continue on the path of reincarnation!" Han Li said after a light cough.

Yan Li was excusable; Han Li was not familiar with her. But Yuan Yao's past conduct still earned his considerable admiration.

"If my senior sister and I had not cultivated this remarkable technique together, we would likely have already vanished in the human realm. Therefore, I have no regrets about cultivating this technique. It is Han Brother who could ascend to the Spirit Realm that is truly admirable." Yuan Yao gave Han Li a light smile.

"Given the scarcity of spiritual energy in the human realm, I did not ascend to this realm by ordinary means. However, why have the two fellow Daoists appeared here? This place is not within the domain of our human race." Han Li grew puzzled again.

"My junior sister also does not know the reason. Two hundred years ago, my junior sister and I completed the cultivation of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, just entered the Soul Transformation realm, when we were suddenly enveloped by a tremendous *** wind, blown directly out of our cultivation site, and fell into a daze. When we awoke, we found ourselves directly in the Abyss. Afterwards, we encountered a ghost entity in the form of an old woman, and were taken under her door. My junior sister and I stayed here for a long time before realizing that our location is actually in the Spirit Realm, and we have never once had the opportunity to reach the surface." Yan Li spoke, a trace of bewilderment flashing across her face.

Upon hearing these words, Han Li was utterly speechless.

In the human realm, how many Soul Transformation cultivators have exhausted great effort to sneak into the Spirit Realm, only to fail in their wishes.

Yet Yuan Yao and the other, having just barely achieved minor success in this ***, arrived in the Spirit Realm in such a confused manner.

Truly, all things in this world are without end!

"As for how the two fellow Daoists arrived in the Spirit Realm, I cannot deduce it. But as to why you did not fall into the human domain, it is likely because of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, which prevented the two ladies from being accepted by the Flying Spirit Terrace." Han Li pondered briefly, then said thus.

"Regarding this issue, I and my junior sister have also investigated and speculated that this may be the reason." Yan Li nodded, also expressing agreement.

"Well, past matters can be discussed another time. Since the two fellow Daoists have suddenly come to Han Mou's residence, there must be some other important matter!" Han Li raised his eyebrow, then suddenly asked in this manner.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao and Yan Li exchanged glances, then fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Yan Li hesitated briefly, then spoke the words that left Han Li startled:

"Since Han Brother and my junior sister are old acquaintances, I will no longer conceal my purpose. This time, we two have come to your door voluntarily, yet our lives are in danger, and we specifically seek Han Brother's aid."

"Life in danger! How do you say that, Fellow Daoist Yan? As disciples of the ghost old woman, in the Abyss, no one should dare to provoke you!" Han Li's face showed an expression of surprise.

"But if anyone wishes to take our lives, it would be the ghost old woman herself!" Yan Li exhaled deeply, a flash of fear in her eyes.

"Ghost old woman! Miss Yuan, is it truly so!" Han Li's heart trembled greatly; although he felt Yan Li unlikely to speak falsely, he still turned his head to ask Yuan Yao.

"Han Brother, if we had no other choice, I and my junior sister would not risk being discovered by the ghost old woman to come here secretly to see you. However, Han Brother need not worry. The ghost old woman is currently personally refining several *** ghost kings for the affairs of the Nether River region, and will not be able to leave her seclusion for a period of time. This is also our only chance for self-rescue. Ordinarily, we two cannot leave the underground palace." Yuan Yao nodded solemnly, her lovely face heavy.

"Han Brother once aided my junior sister in the human realm, helping her with the soul-returning matter; my junior sister has heard my junior sister speak of this many times. This time, we two truly have no other help to seek, so we can only come to Han Brother here. We hope fellow Daoist will save my junior sister's life!" Yan Li said, her eyes reddening, as she suddenly grabbed Yuan Yao beside her and prepared to make a light bow to Han Li.

Han Li's expression changed; he flicked his sleeve far away, and instantly an invisible tremendous force burst forth, blocking the space.

As Yuan Yao and Yan Li were about to bow, they felt the air near their bodies congeal; despite their cultivation, they could no longer bow down.

The two women could not help but feel both surprised and delighted!

Their surprise was naturally due to Han Li's supernatural power exceeding their expectations; their delight was because, if he acted, they might truly have a chance to escape and ascend.

"Miss Yuan, you two also overestimate Han Mou. Given my situation, you are well aware of it. Han Mou is also under soft confinement, so how could he oppose the ghost old woman? Moreover, why would the ghost old woman certainly seek the lives of the two fellow Daoists? There must be some reason.? Are you two truly certain of this?" Han Li, after not accepting the two women's salute, reflected on his expression for a while, then asked in a deep voice.

"Misunderstanding? If it were truly a misunderstanding between me and my junior sister, that would actually be fortunate. But in fact, we two personally discovered the ghost old woman's hidden malicious intent. The specific details, my junior sister will not elaborate. However, I can tell Han Brother that when the ghost old woman initially took me and my junior sister as disciples, it was actually because she favored the pure yin energy we had condensed through cultivating the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique. This ghost old woman possesses a certain ***, which can devour and refine our souls together with the yin energy, thereby greatly increasing her own cultivation." Yan Li spoke, and as she spoke, she could not help but shiver.

"Furthermore, my junior sister and I also secretly discovered that, before us, the ghost old woman had previously taken in several other disciples with the same ghostly physique. The results were that they all quietly and mysteriously disappeared. Thus, our evidence is not false!" Yuan Yao also supplemented, her face turning pale.

"Even so, the two of you cannot possibly expect that a single word from me would make the ghost old woman truly release people. Even if I have some utilitarian value, it is only when entering the Nether River region that, once I enter it, my own life would be hard to preserve." Han Li fell silent for a moment, then said with flickering eyes.

"This, Elder Han, you need not worry about. The method to rescue us has long been thought up by me; for you, Elder Han, it should be nothing more than a trivial effort. Moreover, by assisting us this time, Elder Han, you are actually seizing a good opportunity for your own salvation. We have a way to remove the mark on your Daoist friend's body within a short time in the Nether River region." Yan Li suddenly curled the corner of her mouth, revealing a hint of slyness as she spoke.

"What, you truly can accomplish this!" Han Li's face changed dramatically, and he was utterly moved.

"Hehe, this matter is of such great importance. How could I, the younger sister, speak falsely about it? Furthermore, I can first tell you the method, Elder Han, and then let you judge its truthfulness for yourself." Yan Li broke into a charming smile.

"Good! If the method is truly feasible and within my power, I, Han, will take a risk and try to rescue the two Daoist friends." Han Li rubbed his chin, swept his gaze across Yuan Yao's face, and finally made up his mind to say.
