Chapter 1880
"Enter the Earth Abyss?" Jin Yue was suddenly startled upon hearing this. 【Web】
"Why, does Fellow Daoist Jin find this condition difficult? Isn't the Earth Abyss currently occupied by the Flying Spirit Tribes? For you to send me in should be an easy task, right?" Han Li asked without changing his expression.
"If this were a hundred years ago, your words would indeed be true; taking someone into the Earth Abyss would not be a difficult matter. But now, it is extremely troublesome." Jin Yue subconsciously stroked the jade slip in her hand with her finger twice before smiling bitterly and saying.
"Oh, why is that?" Han Li asked in surprise.
"It is very simple. A hundred years ago, someone inadvertently discovered an extremely hidden and rare mineral vein in the deepest layer of the Earth Abyss. This mineral vein is not only extremely important to all our tribes, but its reserves are also extremely astonishing. To prevent any tribe from secretly mining it, the entire Earth Abyss is now in a semi-sealed state. Especially the last layer where the mineral vein is located; apart from the guards, even the elders of the various tribes cannot easily enter." Jin Yue hesitated slightly before explaining.
"The deepest layer? When did I say I wanted to enter that place? I only need to enter the third layer of the Earth Abyss." Upon hearing this, Han Li's expression relaxed, and he said with a smile.
"If you don't enter the deep layers, it is not impossible to discuss. However, if you truly wish to complete this deal, you must reveal to me the true reason for entering the Earth Abyss. After all, the Earth Abyss is located in the heartland of the Flying Spirit Tribes, and it hides some secrets that have yet to be discovered. You surely don't think I would foolishly bring an outsider into this place, do you? Even if your cultivation technique is extremely important to the Sky Roc Clan, I cannot perform such an unwise act." The woman stared at Han Li and said word by word.
After listening to the other party's words, Han Li showed a contemplative expression on his face, but after a moment, he sighed lightly and said:
"I know what you are worried about, Great Elder, but rest assured. The reason I want to go to the third layer of the Earth Abyss is merely because I have an appointment with a senior, and I need to use these coordinates to be guided by this senior into another space where they live in seclusion. It absolutely has nothing to do with the Flying Spirit Tribes, let alone causing any harm. As for more specific details, please forgive me for not being able to elaborate."
"Another space! Fellow Daoist Han is already at the mid-stage of the Saint Realm; for you to call someone a senior, could it be..." Jin Yue's expression changed drastically.
"It is enough for the Great Elder to know. This senior has some connection with our Human Race. I was able to escape from the hands of the four great demon kings back then thanks to this senior's help. This time, my return to this place was also requested by this senior. If I am truly blocked and unable to meet them, I am afraid this senior will not be happy, and might even vent their anger on your clan." Han Li's eyes flashed as he said this with deep meaning.
"You are threatening me!" Jin Yue's expression became somewhat ugly.
"Threatening is absolutely not the case. However, I do not know how many tens of thousands of years this senior has been living in seclusion, and this trip is indeed very important to them. I believe Fellow Daoist Jin would not want the Flying Spirit Tribes to gain such a powerful enemy for no reason!" Han Li curled his lips and said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Hmph, even so, how do I know if what you say is true or false?" Jin Yue's expression was uncertain, and she finally snorted coldly.
"That is simple. You only need to personally take me to the third layer of the Earth Abyss and witness my departure; you shouldn't have any more doubts then, right? If you feel something is amiss at that time, you are free to capture me. With your current late-stage cultivation, intercepting a mere mid-stage existence like me should be an easy task. Of course, if you still feel uneasy, you are free to bring a few more people along. I will not object." Han Li replied without hesitation.
"The method is not bad. But I am still a bit uneasy. Your divine abilities back then were extraordinary, and now that you have advanced to the mid-stage of the Saint Realm, if there is truly something untruthful, I am not confident that I can really stop you." Jin Yue's beautiful eyes flashed with strange light, but she still looked somewhat vigilant.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, these words are somewhat untruthful. The cultivation technique I give you, combined with your clan's transformation technique, is enough to increase the power of the Sky Roc transformation by nearly half. Once your clan obtains this technique, there is hope for the Sky Roc Clan to rank among the great Flying Spirit Tribes within ten thousand years. Yet you want to obtain it without the slightest risk; don't you think that is too childish!" Han Li said with a hint of sarcasm.
Hearing Han Li's words, Jin Yue's pupils constricted, and a wisp of cold light flashed through them.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, it is better not to have other thoughts. You should be very clear that since I came here alone, I am naturally not afraid of your clan having other ideas. I did not copy the second half of the technique into a jade slip; it is memorized in my spiritual sense. If you wish to use other means to obtain it, I can completely destroy this technique with a single thought. Moreover, whether your clan truly has the ability to keep me here is another matter." Han Li suddenly chuckled.
"You are overthinking, Fellow Daoist. You did have a great kindness to our clan back then; how could I have such thoughts? Fine, since it is only sending you to the third layer of the Earth Abyss, I will naturally find a way to do it. However, if this matter is to be handled properly, you will need to wait for a few more days. Why don't you stay in the Holy City for now?" After pondering for a long time, Jin Yue finally took a deep breath and agreed.
"Good, this is the wise choice, Great Elder. However, I also intend to take advantage of these few days of leisure to cultivate a secret technique, so I will not disturb you in the Holy City. Half a month later, I will come to visit again. I believe that by then, you will have everything arranged properly." Seeing that the other party had finally made a decision, Han Li laughed loudly and stood up abruptly.
Although she knew that the other party was simply not at ease staying behind, Jin Yue could only sigh secretly and smile bitterly:
"Since you have said so, I will not insist. However, please wait a moment!"
"Someone, bring the spirit tea I requested!"
The woman suddenly transmitted her voice using magic power to the outside of the hall.
A moment later, a maid hurried in, holding a pale yellow leather bag in both hands, and presented it to Han Li.
"Since that is the case, I will not be polite!" Han Li did not decline; he shook his sleeve, and a piece of golden light swept over, causing the leather bag to disappear without a trace.
Next, he bowed slightly to Jin Yue again and truly took his leave.
Not long after, a green rainbow shot out from the Holy City, and after a few flashes, it disappeared at the end of the horizon.
Han Li finally landed on an inconspicuous hill a million miles away from the Holy City, and using his divine abilities, he opened a secret chamber at the bottom of the hill in an instant, set up a mysterious concealment array at the entrance, and entered the chamber.
After sitting cross-legged, he showed a contemplative expression and began to consider whether there was anything improper in his words and actions in the Holy City earlier.
After a long while, he exhaled, and his expression softened.
This time, in order to make the Sky Roc Clan value him, he deliberately transformed into the Sky Roc form.
With his current level of the Awakening Technique, the Sky Roc incarnation he transformed into was naturally astonishing in power, far beyond what the innate transformation of the Sky Roc people could compare to.
However, the specific differences could probably only be seen by Jin Yue, which was why she could not hide the shock in her heart when she first met Han Li.
Of course, the biggest reason Han Li dared to do this was that he relied on his cultivation base having reached the mid-stage of the Body Integration Realm, coupled with numerous divine abilities protecting his body, so he was not afraid of the Sky Roc Clan elders turning hostile and surrounding him. Even if his magic power might not be a match for Jin Yue and the others combined, he would absolutely have no problem if he wanted to escape.
Jin Yue, the Great Elder of the Sky Roc Clan, naturally knew this point clearly. Coupled with the strangeness of the Sky Roc transformation Han Li displayed, this was why she was so polite to him at the beginning.
As for the cultivation technique he later took out for the deal, it was something he summarized by complementing the Spirit Blood Refining Technique from the Gu Clan and the Kunpeng transformation part of the Awakening Technique.
It was indeed highly effective for the Sky Roc Clan; otherwise, it would have been impossible to make the other party so tempted.
Now that Jin Yue was willing to make this deal, his entry into the Earth Abyss should be ten-to-nine successful. Even if the Sky Roc Clan was weak among the Flying Spirit Tribes, Jin Yue was still an existence at the late-stage of the Saint Realm, so this matter was really nothing.
If not for this, it would definitely have been full of difficulties for him to sneak into the Earth Abyss alone, and he would never have succeeded easily.
However, when he went to see Jin Yue half a month later, he still had to be twelve times more careful and guard against the other party truly hardening their heart and doing something hot-headed.
Of course, this possibility was naturally very small given his subtle mention of the terrifying existence, Qing Tian Yuanzi, who was at the Mahayana Realm.
After thinking everything through and feeling that there were no flaws, Han Li withdrew his mind, slowly closed his eyes, and entered meditation.
Almost at the same time, in the hall of the Sky Roc Clan's Holy City, the Sky Roc Clan elders also dispersed from the hall with different expressions after a mysterious discussion with Jin Yue.
Only Jin Yue remained sitting in the main seat in the hall, her eyes flashing as she pondered.
Half a month passed in a flash.
After this day, several streaks of light left the Holy City and flew straight into the depths of the Flying Spirit Tribes.
Among these streaks of light were Han Li, who was wearing a green robe, Jin Yue, who was floating in a white robe, and a young woman with lightning arcs flickering around her body.
"Yes, then Xu will take his leave first!"
"Great Elder, we will wait outside the hall for now."
