Chapter 1542
"The Kunpeng transformation technique is indeed obtained from the Sky Peng branch of the Flying Spirit Clan. As for why I am not afraid of the mist's influence after transforming, I really don't know the reason. However, I have thought about it on the way, and I have an immature guess in my heart, though I don't know if it can be taken seriously." After hearing Yuan Yao's question, Han Li thought for a moment and replied cautiously.
"Brother Han, if you have any thoughts, you can just say them. Are you being so distant with the two of us?" Yan Li smiled as her bright eyes flowed.
Han Li's expression was slightly awkward, and his tone softened as he said:
"Since the two fellow Daoists have practiced in the Underworld of the Mortal World for so many years, you should know some rumors about this place."
"Brother Han, are you talking about the theory of the Underworld Realm and the Rahu beast?" Yuan Yao's expression stirred as she asked.
"That's right. The Underworld Realm is originally a very ethereal place, and no one can verify whether it truly exists. But I once witnessed a Rahu beast with my own eyes in the Mortal World. Although what I saw was not even one ten-millionth of it, the situation when it appeared was extremely similar to the Ghost Mist." Han Li replied with flickering eyes.
"Brother Han, are you saying that the Underworld in the Mortal World was truly formed by the body of a Rahu?" Yuan Yao opened her small mouth in surprise.
"Although there is no other evidence, I think there is at least a thirty to forty percent chance. And the True Spirit Kunpeng and Rahu are natural mortal enemies. After I transform into a Sky Peng, I can borrow a little of the Kunpeng's power by relying on the Kunpeng's true blood. If the mist here is really related to the Ghost Mist, it is barely explainable that I can be exempted from the restrictions within it." Han Li said so.
"Could this so-called Underworld River land truly be the body of a Rahu? But how do you explain the differences between these strange mists and those in the Mortal World?" Yan Li couldn't help but interject.
"This Underworld River land is truly inside the body of a Rahu. Does Fellow Daoist Yan think this Rahu is that Rahu?" Han Li did not answer directly but asked back with a smile.
"Brother Han means that this one and the one in the Mortal World should be two different Rahu beasts! If they are two different individuals, it is explainable that there are some differences in the black mist. I have heard that the Rahu's body size is astonishingly large, capable of swallowing the sun and moon, and it can naturally form a spatial dimension within its body. The Underworld River land is obviously much larger than the Underworld. This should be a Rahu beast with divine abilities and a body size far greater than the one in the Mortal World." Yan Li said with a pale face.
"I'm afraid it's more than that." Han Li shook his head.
"Oh, does Brother Han have any other views?" Yuan Yao asked curiously.
"The mist here is so deathly still; it is not certain whether this Rahu beast is still alive. I have read in some ancient books that if a Rahu's lifespan comes to an end, the space formed within its body will not collapse and can still exist forever with all things."
"Brother Han thinks that this place is a space formed by the corpse of a dead Rahu beast!" Yuan Yao was stunned.
"Hehe, this is also my guess. What the specific situation is, is still a matter of debate." Han Li smiled and did not explain much more about this.
"I think Fellow Daoist Han's conjecture is very close to the truth. If so, most things can be explained clearly. It is precisely because this Rahu beast has already fallen that the Yin-Underworld Qi formed within its body is far greater than that of the one in the Mortal World, thereby forming so many high-level ghosts. I just don't know if those Demon Kings know or have guessed this matter. The only thing I don't understand is how to explain the spiritual energy and spiritual veins here. In the Underworld of the Mortal World, there is no spiritual energy at all, and one cannot mobilize magic power while in that space." Yan Li said with bright eyes.
"Who knows! Perhaps when the great divine beings of the Mayfly Clan discovered this place, they did something to the space here, or once the Rahu beast fell, the space formed within its body was originally like this. But all this has little to do with our current situation, so there is no need to investigate it deeply. The only thing I am interested in now is whether these black mists can truly take us away from the Underworld River land. As long as it is the same existence as the Underworld, there must be a similar exit. This exit is much safer than the spatial node I originally thought of." Han Li said, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
"Brother Han's words are reasonable. Did you find any abnormalities in the other strange mists earlier?" Yan Li asked thoughtfully.
"No! In the other black mists, apart from the fact that they can also restrain people's magic power and divine abilities, I did not find anything particularly strange. Of course, I only searched a few places nearby. Since these black mists are in this area, the exit should also be in this water area. Now, should we go find this exit immediately, or should we still follow the original plan and hide for a while?" Han Li asked with a softened voice.
"Since the exit might be nearby, let's spend some time looking for it. Perhaps we can find the exit in just a day or two. If so, wouldn't it be safer than passively hiding?" Yan Li said without hesitation.
"Senior Sister's words also make sense. If we follow the original plan to hide, it is possible that those Demon Kings will leave late, and the reinforcements of the Mayfly Clan will arrive here a step earlier. If so, our situation will be even worse." Yuan Yao hesitated and also agreed with Yan Li's opinion.
Han Li heard this and fell into deep thought.
Although what the two women said was extremely reasonable, he vaguely felt a trace of inexplicable impropriety in the dark.
This made him somewhat hesitant.
After weighing it repeatedly for a long while, he finally spoke slowly:
"We can stay here as you said and look for whether there is truly an exit. But we can only waste two days at most; once two days are up, we must immediately hide. And within these two days, we should still be safe."
Han Li came up with a compromise.
Hearing Han Li say this, Yuan Yao and Yan Li looked at each other, feeling that this was a perfect strategy, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Good, since that's the case, let's explore the black mist below first. Even if there are no clues to an exit, I will first set up a place to stay inside. In case of any accidents, we will hide inside first. The power of the Kunpeng can exempt us from the restrictions of the black mist, and I have some ways to make the two fellow Daoists temporarily unafraid of this mist." Han Li said with a smile.
"Brother Han really has such a method?" Yuan Yao and Yan Li were overjoyed.
Han Li smiled slightly, and suddenly a thunderous sound rang out behind his back, revealing his wings. Then, as he shook his wings, the color changed drastically.
One became filled with green light, and the other flashed with five-colored light; both wings were crystal clear and shone with ten thousand rays of light.
Han Li had actually revealed the original form of the Wind-Thunder Wings, which had always been transformed into the wings of a Sky Peng.
This was the first time the two women had seen the true face of the Wind-Thunder Wings, and both were startled.
Not only did the appearance of this pair of spirit wings change greatly, but the astonishing spiritual pressure emitted from them made the faces of the two women change slightly.
Just at this moment, the green wing behind Han Li shook, and two crystal-clear green feathers shot out. After a flash, they arrived in front of the two women and stopped.
"The two fellow Daoists can try these two things condensed from the aura of the Kunpeng. Perhaps they will have some miraculous effects!" Han Li said with a smile.
Yuan Yao and Yan Li looked at each other, both somewhat skeptical.
However, Yan Li immediately grabbed the green feather in front of her with one hand and poured her magic power into it.
After a soft "bang," a cluster of green light halo spread out, wrapping the woman within it.
"Oh, it really seems to have some mystery. I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, Brother Han must pull me." Yan Li smiled like a flower at Han Li.
"Hehe, of course. I will protect Fellow Daoist Yan from the side!" Han Li said without hesitation, his figure shook, and he transformed into a giant green Peng again, flying into the black mist first.
Yan Li shook the green feather in her hand, and as the green light shone brightly on her body, she was about to shoot downwards.
"Senior Sister, be careful!" Yuan Yao couldn't help but urge.
"Junior Sister, don't worry. With Brother Han taking care of me from the side, how could any problems arise?" Yan Li replied with a smile, slowly falling downwards under the shroud of green light.
Yuan Yao stared at the woman's figure without blinking.
The giant green Peng transformed by Han Li was already hovering at the edge of the black mist, quietly waiting for Yan Li to descend.
The green light finally submerged into the black mist, and as a result, Yan Li's joyful voice came from within:
"It's really effective. Although more than half of my spiritual power still cannot be mobilized, it is completely fine to fly and use ordinary cultivation methods and treasures."
"Hehe, that's the best. Miss Yuan, you come down too. Let's check this place carefully." Han Li's voice, which seemed to have been expected, came from the giant green Peng.
High in the sky, Yuan Yao heard the voices of the two, let out a long sigh of relief, agreed with a smile, and was about to wave the green feather in her hand and fly down.
But just at this moment, a strange change occurred!
The black mist, which had looked unusually calm, suddenly rolled and stirred inexplicably. Then, an inexplicable hurricane roared out from below, instantly turning such a large expanse of black mist into a giant vortex, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling erupted.
The Peng transformed by Han Li was startled!
Although this wind came so fiercely and a huge suction force came from below, it still could not completely trap him. At most, it only made his movements slightly slower.
He shook his wings violently, flashed to the side of Yan Li, grabbed the woman, and moved his green wings again, intending to escape the bizarre Ghost Mist.
But just at this moment, thunderous sounds erupted throughout the entire vortex, and countless pitch-black lightning bolts suddenly appeared densely everywhere.
Han Li's heart sank; he was unusually familiar with this scene.
The black lightning appeared so suddenly that there was no time to cover one's ears, and under that inexplicable giant force, his movements could not be as flexible as usual.
A black light flashed in front, and the giant green Peng and the woman he was holding, Yan Li, actually disappeared without a trace in the vortex.
Yuan Yao, who was high in the sky, witnessed all this and could not help but be terrified. Before she could have any thoughts, the black vortex suddenly swept out in all directions.
Yuan Yao could not escape in time and was also swept in, and similarly, under the wild flashing of several black lightning bolts, she disappeared inexplicably.
