Chapter 1866

The Long family ancestor withdrew his palm, a look of surprise appearing on his face as he stared at the green arm that had suddenly reached out from the void. WM Net

As space fluctuated, a figure with emerald-green skin flashed out from the void.

It was about two zhang tall, its whole body shimmering with purple light, its face surprisingly similar to Han Li's, and its eyes swirling with green light.

Han Li beckoned with one hand, and the green shadow flashed, eerily appearing by his side.

"Second incarnation! Good, very good. Fellow Daoist Han truly did not disappoint Long, so let's take the third move from me!"

The Long family ancestor narrowed his eyes and muttered, but with a cold laugh, he raised an arm and reached out to grab Han Li once more.

Although the action seemed identical to the previous ones, the momentum was completely different from the last two times.

The golden arm had only just reached out halfway when a rumbling hum echoed in the nearby void, and countless five-colored light spots suddenly appeared on the Ten Thousand Spirits Platform.

The next moment, these light spots, transformed from Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, surged madly into the Long family ancestor's arm, flashing as they were injected into it.

The arm covered in golden dragon scales instantly became crystal clear and bright, emitting a layer of five-colored spiritual light that gradually became blinding, making it impossible to look at directly, as if it were a scorching sun.

At the same time, an extremely powerful and unfamiliar spiritual pressure radiated from the arm.

This arm emitting five-colored light seemed at this moment to have become an independent existence, its aura appearing even more powerful than that of the Long family ancestor, a late-stage Body Integration Great Cultivator himself.

Seeing the astonishing momentum of the opponent's grab, Han Li's expression finally changed slightly.

Watching the palm at the front of the opponent's arm twist and blur, about to grab down completely, his thoughts turned rapidly. He suddenly cupped his hands slightly and spoke with a light laugh:

"Fellow Daoist's magic power reaches the heavens; Han admits he is inferior. There is no need to take the third move; I concede this match."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the Long family ancestor opposite him could show a surprised expression, and while his extended arm was still paused and had not yet reacted, his body flashed with green light, transforming into a green rainbow that shot directly outside the light barrier.

With a flash, the thick barrier was broken through by the green rainbow as if it were paper!

Han Li rushed outside the Ten Thousand Spirits Platform in an instant, and his escape light circled once before landing among the group of Gu family cultivators.

As for that eerie green shadow, it followed closely behind him as if it were his own shadow, its figure swaying as it landed behind him.

The nearby group of Gu family cultivators naturally retreated a few steps subconsciously, looking at him with curious eyes.

Han Li glanced at it indifferently and pinched a spell with one hand.

The green shadow's body flashed with purple light, and its figure shrank rapidly amidst the flashing spiritual light, finally transforming into a ball of purple light that sank into Han Li's sleeve and vanished without a trace.

Beside him, Fairy Xiaofeng and Elder Xiao looked at Han Li's actions with rather strange and complex expressions.

It was no wonder these two had such expressions. A cultivator who had just advanced to the early-stage Body Integration dared to directly shake a late-stage cultivator and display divine abilities no less than those of a mid-stage cultivator, yet he jumped down and conceded on his own when it came to the final move of the agreement.

No matter how one looked at it, it was truly a bit abnormal.

However, cowed by the astonishing strength Han Li had just displayed, they naturally dared not ask anything and could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

Although they felt very helpless in their hearts, the trace of worry they had originally felt had vanished completely at this moment.

In the eyes of the two, the strength Han Li had just revealed was in no way inferior to their Ye family's Supreme Elder, "Fairy Tianli," and appeared to be vaguely even above it.

With this, maintaining the Gu family's position among the five great True Spirit clans would be no problem at all.

"Hehe, interesting!" The Long family ancestor inside the light barrier finally reacted, looking at Han Li outside the light barrier, and muttered to himself, laughing instead of getting angry.

Following this, the five-colored glow on his arm swirled, Heaven and Earth spiritual energy surged out from it and vanished into the void. At the same time, the golden dragon scales on his body began to fade bit by bit, ending his half-demonized form.

"Let's abandon the plan for this time!" Among the Feng family, the man wearing the bronze mask also suddenly spoke indifferently.

"What does brother mean by this? Even if this person isn't an ordinary early-stage Body Integration cultivator, he's at most about the same as that woman Tianli. If you and I join forces, could we still fear him?" The man in the gorgeous robes asked with a frown.

"Hmph, about the same as Tianli? Second brother, I think you really should wipe your eyes and look more clearly. Not to mention anything else, this person's second incarnation is no small matter. Being able to forcibly knock back Long Old Monster's strike with one punch is something at least you and I couldn't do. Moreover, this person showed no fear at all when facing Long Old Monster, so he must have even more powerful methods he hasn't brought out yet. Even if you and I join forces, it would be very difficult to defeat him easily. I don't want to let the Feng family offend such a person with unfathomable strength." The masked man's eyes flashed as he replied coldly.

"But what about the Lao family? We've already accepted their benefits." The man in gorgeous robes was still very hesitant.

"What we promised initially was only to try our best to weaken Fairy Tianli's strength. Since the person representing the Gu family now isn't that woman, but someone else, it's not abnormal for us to change our minds. At worst, we'll just return the items to them. Would the Lao family dare to nag us about it? In a while, when we actually go on stage to compete with him, we'll just use ordinary methods." The masked man replied sternly.

"Since brother has already made a decision, then little brother will do as you say. It's just a pity; I originally thought we could squeeze the Gu family out of the five great clans this time. It seems we'll have to wait for next time!" The man in gorgeous robes sighed and agreed, though his tone was quite unwilling.

"The Demon Tribulation will descend before long. Who knows how many clans will vanish into smoke by the next True Spirit Ceremony; why should you and I think so far ahead?" The masked man was very open-minded and said with a chuckle.

This time, the man in gorgeous robes could only smile bitterly and say no more.

At this time, a group of Lao family cultivators not far away, with several leading elders surrounding the only early-stage Body Integration cultivator, were arguing in low voices within a restriction.

Although the content of their discussion couldn't be heard, everyone's expression was clearly extremely ugly.

And the Lao family's Body Integration cultivator, a middle-aged scholar in white, also had his brows tightly furrowed.

Clearly, the strength Han Li had just displayed on the Ten Thousand Spirits Platform had caused this clan, which was most likely to squeeze out the Gu family and enter the five great clans, to panic.

"Next, the Feng family and the Gu family, who each lost one match, will compete for fourth and fifth place. Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Feng, will you go on stage to exchange pointers?" The Long family ancestor announced calmly on the stage.

Upon hearing this, the two Body Integration cultivators of the Feng family swept their gazes toward the Gu family side in a "swish."

Fairy Xiaofeng and Elder Xiao also couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Han Li.

"No need to compete; I concede this round!" Much to the surprise of the others, Han Li curled his lips and conceded without hesitation.

A commotion immediately broke out among the surrounding crowd.

"Senior Han, this round..." Fairy Xiaofeng couldn't sit still and hurriedly asked.

"The Feng family also has two Body Integration cultivators and is skilled in joint techniques. I don't have much confidence in winning, so it's better to conserve my energy and specifically deal with the challenges below. As long as I can ensure the Gu family remains among the five great clans, I think that shouldn't be considered a violation of my agreement with you, Fellow Daoist." Han Li glanced at the woman and said indifferently.

"Senior naturally hasn't violated the agreement, it's just that for every rank the five great clans move up, the benefits received increase significantly; it was this junior who was a bit greedy." Fairy Xiaofeng's expression changed twice, but she ultimately nodded and accepted Han Li's intention.

At this moment, the Long family ancestor on the stage naturally announced the result and then called the remaining three clans to draw lots for a duel again.

This time, the Long family drew a bye.

The Ye family and the Lin family competed first.

The Ye family was naturally that feathered-garment girl, while the Lin family was that disheveled man wearing a silver ring.

The two seemed to have had some grudges for a long time, so as soon as they reached the stage, they immediately displayed their divine abilities one after another. For a time, they fought until the sky and earth were dark; just from the momentum, it seemed even more astonishing than the moves of the Long family ancestor and Han Li.

Although both were mid-stage Body Integration existences, the feathered-garment girl's strength was clearly a notch higher than the disheveled man's. Even though the man displayed several newly cultivated divine abilities one after another, he was ultimately forcibly pushed out of the light barrier by the girl and could only concede and return to his seat with a dark expression.

However, later, when the Ye family faced the Long family, the feathered-garment girl knew she couldn't be the Long family ancestor's opponent and conceded very straightforwardly.

And the Feng family also very wisely had no intention of challenging the top three clans again.

With this, the ranking of the five great clans was almost identical to the previous session, with the Gu family still listed in last place.

However, because of the strength Han Li had just displayed, the group of Gu family cultivators didn't show any overly worried expressions.

But when the Long family ancestor announced that free challenges from other clans could begin, in the Lao family, which was ranked just behind the Gu family, that white-robed scholar slowly stood up and said in a deep voice:

"I, Lao Ai, representing the Lao family, would like to challenge the Ye family. I hope Fellow Daoist Han will grant me some pointers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, white light flashed on the scholar's body, and he stood inside the light barrier, looking as if he were waiting for Han Li to take the stage.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly and didn't speak; after a flash of green light, he appeared opposite the scholar.

Lao Ai's expression was solemn. After spitting out the word "Please," he flipped his hands.

One hand suddenly held a black ruler, while the other flashed with golden light, revealing a golden giant brush several feet long, its tip emitting an extremely gorgeous five-colored spiritual light.

As the ruler danced slightly, dozens of unknown black spiritual flowers appeared before him, protecting his figure tightly.

And the golden giant brush in his other hand pointed continuously at the void, causing giant five-colored butterflies to appear out of thin air one after another.
