Chapter 1785: Expulsion

The giant hall was located on a high floor of a stone tower. After a few flashes of the cyan rainbow, it disappeared without a trace.

"Is there any reaction from the Alien Spirit Plate?" The thin old man asked with a sudden sinking face as soon as Han Li's escape light went far away.

"Reporting to Master, no. This Senior Han is indeed a pure human!" An Azure Underworld Guard replied.

"Without a passage token, and the voided Azure Underworld Guard token was not taken back, could this person have been stranded in the wild for so many years? It seems he must have obtained quite a fortune; otherwise, in three hundred years, he would never have been able to enter the late Void Refinement stage from the Spirit Transformation stage. However, since he is human, I think there is no problem, so why should I meddle?" After the thin Heaven Guard's gaze flickered for a while, he finally shook his head.

Such things as advancing one after another in a few hundred years, although extremely rare, were countless in the wild regions, and it was not as if it hadn't happened before. If the other party hadn't joined the Heaven Abyss Guards before, he might have tried to see if he could win him over to the Heaven Guards. Now that the other party had already left Heaven Abyss City once, he naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble again.

Therefore, the thin Heaven Guard quickly threw the matter to the back of his mind, and with a turn of his gaze, he looked at the four scholars who had walked out of the same hall.

Han Li looked down continuously while in the escape light.

More than three hundred years had passed, and almost all the buildings in Heaven Abyss City had not changed in the slightest.

There were still numerous black and white armored guards patrolling in the low altitude in the city, and many cultivators from other places were also busy entering and exiting some buildings.

The entire city looked exceptionally prosperous, and not a trace of the previous alien attack could be seen.

However, because of this, Han Li did not need to worry about anything. His escape light went straight to the Heaven Abyss City market.

This time, he had no intention of staying in Heaven Abyss City for long.

After more than a hundred years of consolidating his magic power, plus the tempering of his state of mind through many life-and-death situations, he was fully equipped to impact the Body Integration stage bottleneck. After resting and consolidating his energy for a period of time, he could begin to impact the bottleneck.

With the various great divine abilities he possessed, even if he only advanced to the early Body Integration stage, he should be enough to contend with the late Body Integration stage, almost capable of roaming across the human and demon races.

Therefore, what he needed to do next was just to choose a secret place near the Heaven Abyss City area, prepare to retreat for a period of time, and begin to impact the bottleneck.

Before this, everything else had to be temporarily thrown to the back of his mind and ignored for the time being.

However, after more than a hundred years of consumption, he had to replenish a large batch of auxiliary materials in Heaven Abyss City.

Although he could replenish some from the alien races in these years, because he only went to the peripheral areas of the alien races, he naturally could not truly replenish much.

If it weren't for the fact that he had prepared quite a few things in advance when he left the Thunderous Continent, some of his insights and research would have had to stop halfway.

And with the scale of Heaven Abyss City, they should all be able to be matched.

And with these materials, he could refine some magic tools and medicinal pills to assist in breaking through the bottleneck.

Han Li did not know how many times he had been to the Heaven Abyss City market back then.

Therefore, half an hour later, he landed on a street in the building complex on one side, which was divided into two by a huge light screen.

On the other side of the light screen was the trading place for the demon race stationed in Heaven Abyss City.

And in the hall in the middle of the light screen, it was the only place where the human and demon races could exchange rare items.

Han Li's gaze swept over the huge hall in the distance, his expression twitched, and a blurred figure of a demon woman flashed in his mind.

Back then, he had traded many times in this hall with this unknown demon woman to exchange for rare spiritual herb seeds in the hands of the demon race.

If it weren't for this channel, he didn't know how much effort it would have taken if he had collected them himself back then.

However, this woman seemed to have some background; she actually knew in advance that the alien races were going to launch a large-scale attack on Heaven Abyss City back then, so she left Heaven Abyss City a step early.

Han Li withdrew his gaze, looked left and right, and then entered a relatively large material shop nearby with a calm expression.

"The shop specializes in selling all kinds of refining and alchemy materials, everything you could want. Senior, whatever you want, just give the order."

There were five or six shop assistants in the shop, and a handsome young man immediately walked over with a smile on his face.

"You go down, I will entertain this Senior personally."

Before Han Li could say anything, the shopkeeper, who had been sitting on a bamboo chair, jumped up from the chair with a loud shout after discovering that an object in his hand was flashing wildly.

Then, this shopkeeper, who looked like an old man at the Golden Core stage, trotted to Han Li's front and said with a face full of respect:

"I don't know that Senior has graced us with your presence. I didn't go out to welcome you from afar, and I hope Senior will forgive me."

Han Li was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Although he did not deliberately cover his cultivation realm with secret techniques after entering the city, it was definitely not something a Golden Core existence could see through directly.

But when his gaze swept over a magic tool in the old man's hand, Han Li realized something and nodded, saying:

"So you have a spiritual pressure plate magic tool, no wonder you could know a little about my cultivation. Alright, don't talk nonsense. I need a large batch of materials; you get them for me."

Han Li flipped his hand, and a white jade slip appeared in his palm, which he threw to the old man.

The old man caught the jade slip with both hands and kept saying yes, but after sweeping his spiritual sense into the jade slip, a happy and surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Senior actually needs so many materials. The shop can provide most of them, but other materials need to be borrowed from other shops. Can Senior wait a moment?"

"Yes, I will give you a quarter of an hour," Han Li instructed indifferently.

The old man was overjoyed upon hearing this, hurriedly invited Han Li to sit on a chair to the side, then let a shop assistant serve spiritual tea, and then ordered others to take materials from the warehouse immediately.

Then he left the shop door and went to nearby familiar shops to gather other materials for Han Li.

Seeing their shopkeeper's actions, the shop assistants naturally knew that this "Senior" Han must be an extraordinary existence, and they all couldn't help but look over with awe.

Han Li sipped the spiritual tea in his hand casually and closed his eyes calmly without speaking.

As a result, after only a cup of tea's time, the old man returned with a face full of excitement, and a storage bracelet appeared in his hand.

At this time, other shop assistants in the shop also took out a large pile of boxes and bottles of different sizes.

These materials might only be some ordinary auxiliary materials to Han Li now, but to this shop, they were still exceptionally rare.

After sweeping his spiritual sense over the storage bracelet and these boxes and bottles several times, Han Li asked about the price indifferently.

The old man said a price that was absolutely an astronomical figure for ordinary cultivators with a face full of forced smiles.

Han Li did not even blink his eyelids, flicked his wrist, and a small leather bag was thrown over.

The old man took the leather bag, and after sweeping his spiritual sense, it was actually a little more than what he asked for, so he was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Han Li put away all the things without changing his expression and floated out of the door.

With his escape light raised, Han Li left the market directly and flew straight to the other side of Heaven Abyss City.

A few hours later, he left Heaven Abyss City in a grand manner, turning into a cyan rainbow and breaking through the air toward the endless mountain range.

Half a month later, Han Li left the territory under Heaven Abyss City, but he had no intention of stopping at all and continued to fly toward the distance.

Two months later, the cyan rainbow finally landed on a lush green mountain peak.

With his escape light gathered, Han Li's figure appeared on a giant rock on the peak. After looking around, he closed his eyes and released his powerful spiritual sense.

A moment later, he nodded with satisfaction.

This place possessed a decent spiritual vein. Although it was not large, the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of li was abundant, which was just right for him to use.

However, such a spiritual vein naturally could not be ownerless. After sweeping his spiritual sense just now, he discovered that there were more than a dozen large and small cultivator caves nearby.

These caves were either gathered by a dozen people or occupied by one person alone on a mountain peak.

However, the highest cultivation was only two Nascent Soul existences, and the rest were only Golden Core and Foundation Establishment existences.

Thinking about it, this was also very normal. People with slightly higher cultivation would not open caves in such a remote place.

Existences above Spirit Transformation occupied tens of thousands of li away at every turn. Although the spiritual energy here was not bad, it could not accommodate existences of too high a tier.

However, Han Li had no intention of living and cultivating here for a long time, so he naturally wouldn't care about this.

He immediately pinched an incantation with one hand, a flash of golden light appeared on his body, and his lips moved slightly, but no sound was emitted, as if he was transmitting something.

In the belly of another mountain peak about a hundred li away from Han Li's location, an old man in a soap robe with white hair was in a secret room heavily restricted, facing a tripod furnace about a zhang high, pinching an incantation with one hand, his expression exceptionally nervous.

Under the tripod furnace, streams of blue flames circled and danced around the tripod furnace, and at the same time, a rich medicinal fragrance permeated from it.

Suddenly, a powerful spiritual sense force that was unimaginable ignored the heavy restrictions outside the secret room and descended into the secret room like a demon god.

The old man in the soap robe did not even have a chance to resist, and with a "bang," he was pressed to the ground by the giant force carried by this spiritual sense, unable to move even a finger.

"Ah"

The old man let out a cry, naturally terrified in his heart.

But before he could react, a cold male voice suddenly echoed above the secret room:

"This seat has something to do and needs to borrow this place. I don't want anyone to disturb me. Everyone who hears the transmission, move away from this place immediately. If anyone dares to stay nearby within a day, then stay forever."

As soon as these few short words ended, the powerful spiritual sense collapsed and disappeared.

The old man in the soap robe only felt his body lighten and immediately regained his ability to move.

After he stood up tremblingly, his eyes were filled with panic.

After thinking for a moment, the old man suddenly stomped his foot, and his body moved instantly, rushing out of the secret room, not even looking at the tripod furnace he had valued exceptionally.

An hour later, a white light flew up from this mountain peak, and after circling, it flew away into the sky.

The same scene was staged simultaneously in various places within a radius of hundreds of li.

Streaks of escape light flew out from various places, leaving this spiritual vein land in a panic.

Half a day later, there was no human cultivator in this mountain range, leaving only empty caves.
