Chapter 1836

After a short while, countless streaks of escape light and numerous beast-drawn chariots and flying boats suddenly rose from the sea of clouds, shooting off in all directions.

Among them, a streak of cyan light that seemed unremarkable at first glance vanished without a trace after a few flickers near the Flying Immortal Peak.

Within the cyan light, Han Li stood with a solemn expression, urging his escape light forward.

Behind him, Hai Dashaó and the artifact spirit child stood there honestly.

The auction of the last two treasures just now was truly full of unexpected twists!

After a fierce contest among dozens of Body Integration cultivators, the Wan Sen Luo Pan actually fell into the hands of Black Phoenix King Xiao Guan.

As for the Qing Tian War Chariot Diagram of the Tie Le tribe, it ended up in the hands of the Long family, who claim to be the first generation of True Spirit aristocrats.

Just thinking of the Long family, Han Li couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and a middle-aged cultivator with a pale gold complexion immediately appeared in his mind.

This Long family elder who directly went on stage to trade the war chariot diagram is actually a late-stage Great Achievement Body Integration cultivator, possessing not only immeasurably deep magic power but also a non-human icy aura that surrounds his body.

Even a distant glance at him makes one's heart inexplicably race with fear.

This Long family elder's cultivation seems in no way inferior to that of the Three Emperors and the Seven Great Demon Kings, no wonder the Long family can maintain its position as the foremost among the True Spirit aristocratic families.

Now, relying on the strength of their aristocratic house, the Long family has overwhelmed top-tier existences like the Tian Yuan Sacred Emperor and the peak beings of both the human and demon races in the bidding for the war chariot diagram, showing that the Long family's financial resources, while perhaps not truly surpassing these powers, are at least not far behind.

Thinking that he has actually offended such a power, Han Li also feels a slight headache.

Fortunately, through prior contact with the Gu and Ye families, he already knows that other True Spirit aristocratic families are not on good terms with the Long family. He now has some connections with both families, and being himself a Body Integration cultivator, he doesn't truly need to fear them.

Could it be that the Long family elder really dares to bring along a group of Long family guest elders and elders to besiege him alone?

Han Li thought this way in his heart, and some of his worries were greatly alleviated.

Just then, a somewhat familiar greeting voice suddenly came from behind him in the distance.

"Fellow Daoist Han, please wait a moment."

Han Li's expression stirred, and as his cyan escape light retracted, he actually came to a stop, then turned around and clasped his hands:

"Who would I be! It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Wan Gu, I don't know if Brother gained much in the auction just now?"

At a distance of several hundred zhang, a mass of gray cloud shot forward with incredible speed. On the cloud stood an old Daoist, precisely the Wan Gu True Person of the White Bone Sect.

"What good things could there be at such an auction? Even if there are items like the last two treasures, they are only to be looked at, not touched!" The old Daoist rode the gray cloud and arrived before Han Li in an instant, hearing this he couldn't help but let out a wry laugh.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist True Person, this sentence of yours really hits the mark. Whether it's the Wan Sen Luo Pan or the Qing Tian War Chariot Diagram, they are truly not something we loose cultivators like us can bid for. Especially the latter, it's nothing but a hot potato." Han Li also chuckled lightly.

"Haha, I knew Fellow Daoist Han was a smart person. Unlike some fellows who stay in seclusion year after year, refining their minds to ruin, they actually go foolishly to spearhead such troublesome things." The old Daoist burst into loud laughter upon hearing this.

"However, Fellow Daoist True Person calling me now must be for some other matter." Han Li blinked his eyes and asked with a smile.

"Naturally. Fellow Daoist Han, do you know that the Black Domain Assembly has already been decided to be held in three days? After receiving the news, I also took the liberty to obtain a traction order for you. At that time, Fellow Daoist Han holding this item can directly participate in this exchange assembly, without needing to go through other channels to obtain it." Wan Gu True Person's smile faded as he spoke, producing something from his sleeve.

Then he shook his wrist and directly threw the object over.

Han Li caught it without changing his expression, lowered his head and glanced at it.

He saw only a pitch-black triangular token, aside from some simple patterns, it bore no markings at all, utterly unremarkable. If not for the other party having said beforehand it was a token, he would almost have thought he was holding a black iron sheet.

"This is the traction order?!" A hint of suspicion flashed in Han Li's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist need not doubt this item. The traction order from the previous Black Domain Assembly was merely a stick-like object. Although I don't know how the host of the exchange assembly achieved this, these items are indeed the sole tokens for entering that Black Domain land, Fellow Daoist Han must absolutely not lose them." Wan Gu True Person said earnestly.

"Ah, I see. It seems the fellow behind this exchange assembly really has some ideas. Han Mou also thanks True Person for sending this order." Han Li felt slightly surprised and immediately thanked the old Daoist.

"Hehe, this is merely a trifle, not worth mentioning! To speak frankly, among my peers of the same level, I have no other special abilities, but some small rumors I am quite well-informed about. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Han has heard that within a thousand years, our human and demon races may face a not-small calamity. You and I may not be able to remain untouched by it." Wan Gu True Person spoke, and suddenly his expression turned solemn.

"Calamity! Is Fellow Daoist True Person referring to the demon calamity!" Han Li's expression stirred, and he replied slowly.

"Fellow Daoist indeed knows of this matter. I don't know how much Fellow Daoist Han knows about this aspect of news." Wan Gu True Person said without showing too much surprise.

After exchanges among peers of the same level before the Wan Bao Assembly, now among Body Integration existences, those who don't know some demon calamity news are probably few.

Otherwise, at this auction assembly, there wouldn't have been so many people disregarding whether their fortunes could bear it, still desperately fighting to seize that Qing Tian War Chariot Diagram, not for the same reason as them, but wanting to prepare in advance before the demon calamity descends.

"Although not much, I also know that this demon calamity is extremely fierce, absolutely not something easily passed through." Han Li twitched the corner of his mouth once, then let out a sigh.

"It seems Fellow Daoist truly knows some hidden things. Good, then Fellow Daoist need not beat around the bush anymore. After the Black Domain Exchange Assembly, does Fellow Daoist Han have any interest in accompanying me to meet some loose cultivator comrades, to discuss properly how we loose cultivators can safely pass through this demon calamity?" Wan Gu True Person this time revealed a hint of surprise in his expression, and frankly stated his true purpose.

"Loose cultivators? Are they all from our human race?" Han Li heard this, his expression unchanged, but after thinking, he suddenly asked.

"Our human race's loose cultivators at the Body Integration level total only a handful, what is there to discuss? Not hiding it from Fellow Daoist, the comrades we are to meet this time are mostly from the demon race side." Wan Gu True Person was first startled, but then explained.

"True Person need not explain anything. I have no prejudice against the demon race, I merely want to first understand the situation of this gathering and so on. Since there are people from the demon race side participating, it seems worth making a trip. After the Black Domain Exchange Assembly ends, I will accompany Fellow Daoist to join in." I don't know how Han Li weighed it, but he actually agreed without much thought.

"Fellow Daoist's decision is absolutely a wise move!" The old Daoist, seeing the invitation proceed surprisingly smoothly, couldn't help but say happily.

Next, it was naturally impossible for the two to continue talking much in the high sky, after chatting a few words, Wan Gu True Person bade farewell and went ahead first.

Just seen, his feet's gray cloud tumbled for a moment, then turned into a streak of gray light and shot out.

In an instant, this old Daoist's trace completely vanished.

Han Li watched the old Daoist's escape light disappear, his eyes flickering incessantly.

"Master, should we also go back now?" Ling Ling Zi saw Han Li remain motionless for a long time, couldn't help but remind and ask.

"Ling Ling Zi, Yue Tian, you two first don't follow me back to the residence. You help Master find a person, who is a demon race woman." Han Li said without turning his head.

"Yes, Master!" Ling Ling Zi and Hai Dashaó were slightly surprised but answered in unison without hesitation.

"This is the token, the specific method of contact, you also listened carefully……" Han Li flipped his palm, threw out a half jade tablet, and moved his lips to transmit the following words.

The two disciples naturally listened attentively, responding in their mouths without cease.

"Alright, that's all. After you find the person, you can come back to report to me." Han Li finished saying the last sentence, then immediately shook his sleeve, the floating green light around the three people immediately split off a small part, wrapping Hai Dashaó and Ling Ling Zi, and slowly descended to the ground.

Han Li himself then turned into a streak of cyan light again, flying straight toward his residence.

After returning to the Ying Xian Palace, Han Li did not enter the secret room to continue cultivation, but sat on the main seat of the great hall, took out the newly auctioned Wei Ling Blood Wood, and played with it lightly in his hand, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

The reputation of the Calamity-Avoiding Puppet in the human race is indeed considerable, but precisely because of this, the method of refining such puppets is by no means a secret art, and is sold in many workshops.

When he collected various classics in the past, he also noted down the refining method of this treasure, and now it happens to be useful!

The only trouble is, this Calamity-Avoiding Puppet not only requires consuming large amounts of essence blood during refinement, but even after successful refinement needs to be nourished with essence blood every so often, otherwise it may lose its intended calamity-avoiding effect.

Of course, this trouble and loss of essence blood, compared to the calamity-avoiding effect of the Calamity-Avoiding Puppet itself, is naturally negligible.

Han Li has already begun to secretly consider refining this puppet, and what auxiliary materials are still needed.

After his thoughts turned for a moment, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

The other materials needed for the Tribulation Transcendence Puppet had actually already been gathered in his hands.

This was also because he had collected a great variety of materials recently, allowing such a coincidence.

After Han Li decided in his heart to find time soon to refine the Tribulation Transcendence Puppet, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and the blood wood disappeared just like that.

In the time that followed, he sat in his seat with his eyes closed, beginning to consider every step of refining the Tribulation Transcendence Puppet, so as to avoid any mistakes during the refinement.

As a result, this wait lasted an entire day and night.

Early the next morning, Hai Dasha finally returned from outside to the main hall, but upon seeing Han Li, he suddenly shouted urgently:

"Master, something terrible has happened. Junior Brother Qilingzi has met with misfortune!"
