Chapter 1580: Blue Lake Island (Part 1)

"What, that piece of Sky Cloud Crystal was swallowed into the body of that sea beast, and the sea beast is still wandering in the nearby sea area." Han Li found it somewhat hard to believe.

"That is correct. Back then, that sea beast used the sea tide to stir up trouble, which allowed it to rush to the teleportation array and swallow most of it in one gulp. The Sky Cloud Crystal was among them. Originally, this beast had already left this sea area at that time, but more than a hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, someone discovered this beast in the deep sea to the south. Of the more than ten Upper Tribe members who discovered it together, only two escaped, and the rest all perished. In the decades that followed, we people of the sea area gathered manpower several times to try and kill this beast in order to reopen the teleportation array. But this beast has immense divine abilities and is exceptionally cunning. When there are many people, it hides in the deep sea and does not appear at all. When there are few people, it launches attacks on those who are alone. Instead, we have lost quite a few men," Qing Xiao sighed and said somewhat helplessly.

"What kind of magic power and divine abilities does this beast possess to be so troublesome?" Han Li's eyes revealed a strange look.

According to common sense, no matter how high a sea beast's cultivation level is, if it is hunted by a group of cultivators, there is no reason for it to survive.

"We still cannot identify the species of this beast; it seems to be a mutated sea beast. Looking at it from afar, it seems like a giant whale, but it can change its size at will, and the water escape technique it uses itself has also been mutated and strengthened, allowing it to travel a thousand miles in an instant in the sea. Even if we force this beast into a dead end, as long as it uses this technique, it can easily break out of the encirclement; it is impossible to truly trap it to death. Moreover, this sea beast is exceptionally ferocious. Except for the number one person in our sea area, Silver Shark Hermit, no one else dares to face this beast alone," the woman frowned and said, seemingly also feeling extremely frustrated.

Hearing these words, the joy on Han Li's face faded, and he also felt it was quite troublesome.

But after thinking about it carefully, he asked suspiciously.

"After so many years, can that piece of Sky Cloud Crystal still be intact inside the sea beast's body? Wouldn't it have been absorbed or refined long ago?"

"Please rest assured about this, Senior Han. The Sky Cloud Crystal has space attributes; unless it is attacked with the same space power, it is impossible to destroy it at all. And although that sea beast has mixed attributes, it does not possess space divine abilities itself. We have been able to confirm this completely after so many years of hunting," the woman said very affirmatively.

Han Li nodded, finally removing a trace of worry in his heart, and began to ponder silently.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, do you know the approximate location where that sea beast appears?" Han Li asked.

"Senior Han wants to go and kill this beast?" the woman's eyes flashed, and she asked solemnly.

"That is correct. Flying directly back to the Thunderous Continent is naturally impossible. Even if I travel toward the Thunderous Continent without stopping for a single moment, it would take at least half a year. Traveling in the deep sea for such a long time, unless my divine abilities increase tenfold, I would likely perish on the way nine times out of ten. But if I want to return to my original continent, I have no choice but to go to the Thunderous Continent first. Only there might there be a super teleportation array that can cross continents. You have plotted against that sea beast several times, also because you want to repair the teleportation array, right?" Han Li touched his chin and said indifferently.

"Senior is absolutely right! Although the spiritual veins in this sea area are still acceptable, some of the spiritual medicines and auxiliary materials used for cultivation are already exceptionally scarce. Many people are stuck at bottlenecks in their cultivation and cannot make any progress. If another few thousand years pass, I imagine the spiritual medicines remaining in this place will be even fewer. If Senior is truly interested in this beast, why not join forces with us?" Speaking of this, the woman's voice paused, she smiled, and then added frankly:

"I will not hide it from Senior either. I left my cave dwelling this time because the number one person in this sea area, Silver Shark Hermit, wants to organize manpower once again to kill that sea beast. Junior coming to pay respects to you, Sir, actually originally also had the intention of inviting you."

"If you can truly repair that teleportation array, Han Mou naturally does not mind joining forces once," Han Li smiled and replied without much thought.

"Senior, please rest assured, we are not lacking in other materials and array masters. As long as we have the Sky Cloud Crystal, we can definitely repair the teleportation array as it was," Qing Xiao was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"It would be best if it can truly be done!" Han Li nodded.

"If Senior takes action to help this time, I imagine there is a great possibility of success. Silver Shark Hermit has already agreed to gather at Blue Lake Island in the south four months from now, and then we will set off together to find that sea beast. If you are truly interested in this matter, Sir, just take this Silver Shark Token and go there." Qing Xiao flipped her palm, took out a silver-shining token, and handed it over.

Han Li beckoned with one hand, and the token immediately flashed and was taken into his hand. He lowered his head and examined it twice.

The whole body was shining with silver light, as if it were made of pure silver, and a large "Shark" character was imprinted on the surface.

There was no strange look on Han Li's face, and he put the token away.

Seeing Han Li agree so readily, Qing Xiao was also exceptionally happy. After chatting with Han Li for a while longer, she finally stood up respectfully to take her leave.

When the woman turned into a white light and flew into the sky from the courtyard, the wooden house flashed with the light of the barrier again, and at the same time, the wooden door closed slowly.

More than two months later, a clear and long whistle sounded from under the small mountain, the sound continuous and unending, rushing straight into the clouds.

The snake people of the Fire Sun Tribe on the island almost all heard this whistling sound, and regardless of their status or rank, they all looked over in surprise.

The woman who was discussing matters in the main hall with some high-level snake people heard this sound, her expression moved, and she walked out of the main hall, standing on the square, also looking toward the small mountain.

Her eyes flickered, and her expression changed unpredictably.

A moment later, the long whistle stopped abruptly.

Immediately, a green rainbow shot out from under the mountain, flashed once, and reached a very high place, then circled once before flying toward the edge of the sea island.

Not long after, the green rainbow appeared on the sea surface a thousand miles away from Fire Cloud Island, and without stopping at all, it headed south all the way.

Han Li, who was in the escape light, had no expression on his face. While driving the escape light to move forward quickly, he was silently pondering his own affairs.

If he could unite with the people of this sea area to successfully kill the sea beast this time, that would be best; this way, he could go to the Thunderous Continent, and then find other ways to return to the Wind Origin Continent.

If he did not succeed, he would only have to stay in this sea area temporarily, and then wait for other opportunities or continue to hunt down that sea beast in the future.

Anyway, looking at the small bottle he possessed and the large amount of spiritual medicine he carried with him, it was enough to support his cultivation for a long time.

But having said that!

Having been away from the human race for such a long time, Han Li truly did not know what the situation of the human race was like now.

Had a great war with other alien coalitions broken out, and was Heavenly Abyss City safe and sound?

As a member of the human race, although he had not stayed in Heavenly Abyss City for long, he definitely did not want to see the human race suffer a catastrophe.

However, another important reason why he wanted to return to the human race was that he was worried about the possibility of Nangong Wan ascending to the Spirit Realm.

Although according to speculation, it was not very likely that Nangong Wan would also ascend to the Spirit Realm with the help of the node's power in a short time.

But no one could be absolutely certain about some things.

In case his beloved wife had some other opportunity and had advanced to Spirit Transformation in a short time, and had already appeared in the human race, it was not impossible.

And with his current cultivation and divine abilities, he was already enough to stand on his own in the human race and could directly protect Nangong Wan.

Thinking of his beloved wife's voice and appearance, even Han Li, who had cultivated to the point of having a heart like dead water, couldn't help but feel somewhat distracted.

But a moment later, he collected his thoughts and focused entirely on his journey.

This journey was unexpectedly smooth, far beyond Han Li's expectations.

Except for killing two ignorant demon birds on the way, he did not encounter any sea beasts at all. More than a month later, according to the sea map, he finally arrived at an unfamiliar sea area.

Now, while traveling at high speed, he was using his spiritual sense to search the sea surface in all directions.

According to the sea map, he should have arrived near the so-called "Blue Lake Island." But looking from afar, the sea surface nearby was empty; there was not a trace of any island.

Han Li felt somewhat strange, but after flying forward for another hundred miles, his expression suddenly moved, and he adjusted his direction, increasing his escape speed.

As a result, after only the time it takes to eat a meal, Han Li actually entered a strange sea area.

The weather changed suddenly, and heavy snow began to fall on the sea surface. Countless white snowflakes mixed in the cold wind whistled over, giving people a bone-chilling feeling.

And what was strange was that the sea surface below had no signs of freezing at all, and there seemed to be a rolling heat floating out.

Under the interweaving and rolling of the two strange cold and hot airs, the white sea fog gradually became dense.

After Han Li flew a distance in the wind and snow, he grabbed toward the bottom in the void, and a stream of seawater was directly taken into his hand. It was actually hot, and the temperature was extremely high.

Han Li raised an eyebrow and looked at the increasingly dense white fog in the distance, but his escape light did not stop at all, flashing and escaping into the deeper part of the fog sea.

As Han Li went deeper, the wind and snow in the air became more bone-chilling, while the seawater below was the opposite, as hot as boiling water.

In some places on the sea surface, the seawater even rolled and bubbled directly.

But Han Li turned a blind eye to this strange phenomenon and just kept moving forward in the fog sea.

After flying for dozens of miles in the fog, suddenly his eyes lit up, and the fog disappeared instantly.

A crystal-clear ice island appeared on the sea surface in front.

The wind and snow in the air had stopped, but the temperature of the air was three parts colder than before. And the seawater also began to freeze into ice, revealing a thin layer of ice surface, looking as if there was no heat at all.

Han Li did not think much about it, urged his escape light, and immediately shot toward the ice island.

Looking from afar, the area of this island was not small, even several times larger than the Fire Sun Tribe's Fire Cloud Island.

This island should be the "Blue Lake Island" marked on the sea map.

With Han Li's escape speed, he naturally arrived at the edge of the ice island in the blink of an eye.

But before he could fly into the island, suddenly a low and deep roar came from the depths of the island ahead.

Upon hearing this roar, Han Li's expression changed drastically, and the blood in his body boiled as if it were going crazy.
