Chapter 1871: The Passage of a Hundred Years

The difficulty of advancing to the Mahayana stage can be known just by seeing that the Human Race, with such a huge population, only has one Mahayana stage cultivator like Mo Jianli. (Webnovel)

Even though Han Li already possessed immense opportunities, he would absolutely not be arrogant enough to think he had much certainty of breaking through this bottleneck.

In this way, the temptation of the Spirit-Washing Pool and the Spirit-Purifying Lotus to him was absolutely not small. Logically speaking, he should have agreed to the Long family ancestor's invitation without hesitation, but he had other hidden difficulties and could only temporarily employ a delaying tactic.

This hidden difficulty was naturally the fact that Han Li had been targeted by that Yuan Cha Holy Ancestor!

He had formed a deep grudge with this Demon Ancestor, so he had always avoided the Demon Realm, and how would he dare to easily go deep into it and do such a thing as throwing himself into the net. Once he really agreed to go deep into the Demon Realm and his tracks were leaked, other Ancient Demon Holy Ancestors might not care and might not necessarily take action against them personally. But once this Yuan Cha Holy Ancestor knew of his existence, she would absolutely not mind taking action personally to solve him and avenge the destruction of her split consciousness back then.

Of course, letting Han Li refuse the Long family ancestor outright and completely give up on the Spirit-Washing Pool and the Spirit-Purifying Lotus was also something he was very reluctant to do. After all, an opportunity that could greatly increase the chances of advancing to the Mahayana stage was naturally a rare opportunity. If he gave it up this time, perhaps he would really lose the opportunity to advance to the Mahayana stage because of it.

This was truly a dilemma!

After Han Li pondered for a good while, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

Of course, this knot was not without a solution.

That was, as long as he could advance two levels before the demon disaster broke out and become a Body Integration late-stage Great Perfection cultivator.

With the Body Integration late-stage cultivation base and his many great divine abilities, he believed that even if he was not yet a match for that Yuan Cha Holy Ancestor, he should have great certainty of preserving his life under her hands. And with this strength as a backing, he would naturally not be so afraid of going deep into the Demon Realm.

If it were for others, advancing from Body Integration early-stage to late-stage in a few hundred years would naturally be a pipe dream. But for him, who possessed the Refining God Technique and many spiritual medicines, it was not without a chance of achievement.

Especially since he still had the agreement with Qing Tian Yuanzi.

Having collected all the materials, once he could obtain the Underworld River Divine Milk that even the four great demon kings of the Abyss dreamed of, he would naturally have a few more points of certainty of advancing to the Body Integration late-stage.

As long as he could advance to the Body Integration late-stage before the Long family ancestor and the others took action, he would naturally risk entering the Demon Realm once. If he couldn't cultivate to this stage in time, he could only decide otherwise when the actual situation arose.

In any case, letting him easily give up on the opportunity to advance to the Mahayana stage like the Spirit-Washing Pool and the Spirit-Purifying Lotus was indeed something unlikely.

After having an idea in his heart, Han Li stopped letting his thoughts run wild. He shook his sleeve, and more than ten array flags flew out, transforming into a layer of invisible barrier that enveloped the entire room.

Then, he closed his eyelids and began to rest his mind.

Early the next morning, when Fairy Xiaofeng and Elder Xiao specifically came to greet Han Li, they were surprised to find the entire pavilion empty.

Han Li and Bai Guo'er had left long ago.

The two could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

At the same time, Han Li and the little girl were already in the void a million miles away, sitting on a green flying carriage, speeding toward a certain direction.

Han Li sat cross-legged in the corner of the flying carriage, lowering his head and holding an unknown tattered book, as if contemplating something.

Bai Guo'er stood at the front of the flying carriage, holding a magic disk with one hand, with a layer of green light faintly flickering on the surface, controlling the flying carriage's rapid travel.

Although it had only been a few years, the little girl had already successfully reached Foundation Establishment under the forced improvement of spiritual medicines. Thus, although her magic power was still not worth mentioning in Han Li's eyes, with the assistance of the magic tool in her hand, she could barely control this flying carriage as usual.

But after flying quietly for more than half an hour,

"Master, where exactly are we going? This direction doesn't seem to be the direction of the Abyss City. Are we not meeting up with the senior brothers?" Bai Guo'er secretly looked back at Han Li, seeing him shaking his head and appearing very obsessed, and couldn't help but pout and ask.

After following Han Li for these few years, the little girl already had some understanding of her master's temperament. Moreover, in these few years, Han Li had several times taken action to resolve the pain of the cold poison in her body, so her speech naturally carried a few points of intimacy.

"How so, you little girl miss your two senior brothers. However, I don't know if my Guo'er misses the Daoist senior brother or the Hai senior brother!" Han Li heard this, but replied without raising his head.

"Master, what are you talking about! Guo'er just thinks the two senior brothers are very interesting, I don't miss them or anything." Bai Guo'er, hearing Han Li's somewhat teasing words, turned red and hurriedly stammered to distinguish herself.

Although the little girl was still young, people in the Spirit Realm were relatively precocious, so she naturally knew a thing or two about matters between men and women.

"Haha, Master is joking with you. However, last time I returned to the Abyss City, I had already left some magic techniques and spiritual medicines to your two senior brothers, so even if we don't return for decades, it won't delay their cultivation. Moreover, I left your Ice Phoenix aunt in the cave dwelling, who can also give them some pointers in cultivation. And because you have cold poison in your body, you must follow by my side. Fortunately, your cultivation is still shallow, and now you only need to rely on the power of spiritual medicines to increase your cultivation. I have also been focusing on contemplating divine abilities during this period, without needing to immediately enter closed-door cultivation. Thus, I must take this time to first travel through the entire Three Emperors and Seven Demons territory." Han Li finally chuckled and replied solemnly.

"With Ice Phoenix aunt's cultivation, she can naturally give pointers to the two senior brothers completely. However, why does Master have to run around? The past few years were also spent taking Guo'er to travel through the entire Profound Heaven Realm; are you looking for something?" Bai Guo'er hesitated, but still couldn't help asking.

"Not looking for something, but inquiring about a person. If she has also ascended to the Spirit Realm, I should be able to get news of her." Han Li sighed upon hearing this and muttered, a trace of loneliness appearing on his face.

"Ah, could this person be Master's relative?" Bai Guo'er's pitch-black eyes rolled around and she suddenly said.

"Oh, how did you little girl know!" Han Li couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

"The disciple guessed it. When Grandmother talks about Grandfather who passed away early, the expression on her face and the tone of her voice are exactly the same as Master's right now. Could this relative of Master be the Master's wife? Guo'er has never heard Master mention it." Bai Guo'er first smiled honestly and embarrassedly, then asked with great interest.

"Fine, you don't need to be so curious about Master's affairs. Although Master's long journey this time is mainly to find someone, it also includes the intention of traveling along the way. After all, I have only advanced to Body Integration not long ago, and I still need to temper myself in both cultivation and state of mind to lay a solid foundation for the cultivation path below. The next place to go is the Heavenly Spirit Realm; I heard that since the Spirit Emperor fell, this place has become somewhat chaotic. I hope we can have some gains in this place." Han Li's gaze flickered, and he said indifferently.

"Heavenly Spirit Realm, I heard that in a few years, the Spirit Emperor Competition will be held to re-elect the Spirit Emperor. Why doesn't Master participate in the competition and seize the position of Spirit Emperor? With Master's great divine abilities, it shouldn't be that there is no chance." Bai Guo'er said with a smile.

"Hehe, what nonsense are you little girl talking about? With my cultivation, what chance do I have to get the position of Spirit Emperor. Besides, I have no intention of doing so. Fine, you should drive the magic tool well. Master still has to study some things recorded in this classic!" Han Li chuckled, and then ignored the little girl and continued to study the ancient book in his hand.

Bai Guo'er, seeing Han Li like this, although she still had a pile of questions, could only pout and not dare to ask anything more.

She suddenly increased the speed of spiritual power injected into the magic disk, and the green flying carriage trembled slightly, its speed increasing by a few points.

Han Li ignored this, as if he had really put all his mind on the object in his hand.

Thus, the green flying carriage broke through the air and went far away in a green light without a sound.

In the blink of an eye, the green light disappeared in the nearby sky.

And from then on, for the next ten or twenty years, Han Li's footprints covered all parts of the Human Race's Three Emperors territory, and news of him spread from time to time.

But after twenty years had passed, there was no more news of Han Li in the Human Race. Instead, in the Seven Demons territory, there were rumors from high-tier demon clans that they had seen Han Li's figure in the demon clan's market.

However, because communication between the two races was inconvenient, some existences who cared more about Han Li were half-believing and half-doubting about this news.

After another few decades, there was really no news of Han Li.

Time passed, and the two hundred years from the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction slowly passed by.

During this period, many major events happened in both the Human and Demon races.

The position of Spirit Emperor in the Human Race was finally seized by a mysterious female cultivator who suddenly appeared from nowhere more than a hundred years ago.

Although this new Spirit Emperor only had Body Integration mid-stage cultivation, she defeated eleven cultivators who were interested in this position in the competition. Among them, there were three late-stage old monsters, who also seemed to be no match for this female cultivator.

Suddenly, this matter caused a sensation in both the Human and Demon races, and was discussed by many high-tier existences of the two races for a long time.

However, because of this, although this new Spirit Emperor had only just succeeded to the throne, she very smoothly accepted the forces of the original Spirit Emperor and made the Heavenly Spirit Realm quickly get rid of the chaos and become orderly again.

The name of the Three Emperors also became well-deserved again.

Another major event was that the "Holy Island", the holy land of the Human and Demon races, suddenly announced to the outside world that the two races and several other originally hostile alien races had temporarily suspended hostilities and formed a "Millennium Alliance". Within a millennium, the races would not only not fight each other, but must also abide by the agreement of mutual defense.

This matter naturally caused an uproar among the ordinary existences of the two races!
