Chapter 2034: Volume 11 True Immortal Descends to the World Chapter 2009 Re-entering the Demon Realm

Han Li witnessed this scene, his expression unchanged, merely shaking his sleeve toward the sky.!

Instantly, golden light shot downward, flashing and vanishing into his sleeve cuff, leaving no trace.

Han Li then flipped his palm, and instantly a golden beetle the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

This was one of the three 'False Insect Kings' Han Li had originally released to hunt the Black Hawk King.

Han Li's eyes flickered as he stared at the golden beetle in his hand for a moment, then he furrowed his brow slightly and muttered softly:

"I really let that Black Hawk guy escape. However, nearly half of his body has been devoured by these little pests, so the damage he suffered is far greater than I originally expected. This, too, counts as a not-bad outcome."

After Han Li finished muttering, he moved his palm, and the beetle was put away; then a flash of green light appeared in his hand, and suddenly a jade slip emerged.

Han Li glanced at the jade slip, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

Although he had seen many excellent secret techniques during this trip to the Heavenly Pavilion, his true purpose was for the lower half of the 'Thunder Sacrifice Technique'.

Originally, the Thunder Sacrifice Technique he obtained from the Feather Tribe's Abyssal Demon King was merely an incomplete activation method; although activating the Divine Thunder of Exorcism yielded tremendous power, the casting process was extremely slow, rendering it largely ineffective in actual combat.

But when he learned from the Black Rain people that Saint Island still preserved the lower half of the Thunder Sacrifice Technique's incantations, he immediately memorized it and conceived the idea of fully mastering this technique.

Now, having found the lower half of the Thunder Sacrifice Technique in the Heavenly Pavilion and briefly reviewed it, he discovered that when compared with what he had previously learned, the records could indeed be combined into a complete set. Naturally overjoyed, he hesitated not at all in taking the jade slip recording the technique with him.

As for the other dozens of secret techniques, they were merely incidental gains.

However, among those other secret techniques, a few were so impressive they sparked his interest, and he considered returning to briefly cultivate them.

Han Li quickly scanned the Thunder Sacrifice Technique recorded on the jade slip, confirmed there were no issues, then put the jade slip away and strode toward the nearby teleportation array.

There, Crab Daoist stood silently, waiting.

"Han Dao has returned." Upon seeing Han Li approach, Crab Daoist asked calmly and unusually.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Brother Crab. Let's go see the elders of Saint Island. I imagine they've been waiting rather impatiently." Han Li said with an apologetic smile.

Crab Daoist naturally had no objection and nodded.

Thus, as the two walked into the teleportation array again, a flash of light occurred, and their figures vanished once more.

……

Several days later, a white, misty jade boat burst from Saint Island and shot toward the distance in a flash.

On this boat, Han Li, Crab Daoist, and Silver Moon were clearly present, and additionally, a white-haired elder surnamed Luo from Saint Island's Council of Elders had joined them.

Han Li stood at the front of the jade boat, his brow slightly furrowed, wearing an expression of deep contemplation, as if pondering some urgent matter.

"Luo Dao, the Black Hawk King has been severely wounded by me and will be unable to harbor any thoughts against our two races for hundreds of years. As for the Shadow Clan and other factions, lacking a Mahayana cultivator to suppress them, they likely dare not act rashly. In any case, the news of my entry into the Demon Realm must be concealed for now—at least for over a hundred years, not a whisper must leak out, to prevent any mishaps!" Han Li said to the elder, his brow relaxing, in a tone of command.

"I respectfully obey your decree, Senior! Regarding your temporary departure from the Spirit Realm, I will certainly do my utmost to seal off all information, preventing outsiders from learning of it. However, Senior, do you truly intend to depart so soon? You have only just advanced to Mahayana not long ago; it would be better to consolidate your cultivation further and prepare for a longer period before entering the Demon Realm." The elder replied, then added hesitantly.

"Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao have already been trapped in the Demon Realm for quite some time—they may now be in dire straits, so how could I delay further? As for consolidating my cultivation, I don't really need to. My cultivation method differs from ordinary cultivators; half of it is body-refinement that enabled my Mahayana breakthrough, so consolidating the Mahayana stage requires little time." Han Li shook his head and explained.

Since the senior has made up their mind, I will no longer try to dissuade them. The spatial node we are heading to now was once a spatial passage used by the demon army during their retreat. Although this passage has vanished and become a spatial node, reports from nearby cultivators indicate that intense spatial fluctuations occasionally erupt from within the node, suggesting the interface barrier here remains somewhat weak and the interface force has not yet fully solidified. With the senior's Mahayana divine powers, aided by the astrolabe, breaking through into the demon realm should not be too difficult.

"As long as the node you mentioned is sound, entering the Demon Realm is indeed not difficult for me now." Han Li gave a noncommittal reply.

"Actually, if Senior were willing to wait a bit longer, other major clans would likely send people into the Demon Realm to scout as well. After all, they too have Mahayana cultivators trapped inside, with no news coming out." This remark came from Li Rong nearby, who couldn't help but interject.

"Hehe, even if those major clans truly sent people into the Demon Realm, they would only care about their own Mahayana existences and wouldn't bother with the lives of small clans like ours. Moreover, so much time has passed—perhaps those superpowers have already sent people in again. I don't believe these major clans would specially dispatch someone to inform us of their actions." Han Li replied with a cold chuckle.

Upon hearing Han Li say this, Li Rong and the elder naturally found it hard to say anything further.

At this moment, Han Li seemed to think of something and said lightly:

"You needn't worry too much—I have Crab Brother accompanying me this time into the Demon Realm, and Silver Moon will come with me as well. Even if we encounter something, we can still protect ourselves. However, Guo'er's cultivation is too low, so she shouldn't come with me; I need a few fellow cultivators to temporarily look after her."

"Rest assured, Senior—after you enter the Demon Realm, we will bring Miss Zhu back to Saint Island to let her cultivate in peace." The elder, upon hearing this, quickly bowed and replied.

Zhu Guo'er, upon hearing this, slightly pouted her lips, showing a hint of displeasure, yet dared not truly oppose.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled faintly, moved his lips slightly, and directly sent a mental transmission to Zhu Guo'er:

"The time to enter the Little Spirit Heaven has not yet arrived; you must wait some years before having a chance to find its entrance. For now, stay on Saint Island and cultivate in peace, raise your cultivation a bit more—when the time comes to seek the Little Spirit Heaven, you'll be able to follow me and protect yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guo'er's heart jolted, and she immediately nodded repeatedly, saying nothing more.

As for Silver Moon, she deeply worried about the safety of Ao Xiao Elder, and since she could accompany Han Li into the Demon Realm, she naturally had no objections.

Thus, the jade boat sped straight toward the demon tribe's territory, flying uneventfully for half a month before arriving at a vast green plain.

After flying another two days and two nights into the plain, the jade boat finally came to a halt above the ruins of a fortress.

"According to the information we received, this is the place. Long ago, demon troops were stationed here, but now it has lain abandoned for a long time." The elder, holding a formation plate, lowered his head to examine it for a while before speaking with certainty.

"Here?" Upon hearing this, Han Li looked up toward the sky.

All that could be seen in the high sky was a half-covered expanse of gray clouds; otherwise, everything appeared utterly ordinary, with nothing unusual.

Upon seeing this, Han Li's expression twitched slightly, then he suddenly pointed a finger at the space between his eyebrows.

With a "puff," a mass of black qi emerged there and transformed into a third vertical eye.

As this eye slowly opened, a jet of black light shot out instantly and flashed into the high sky, vanishing without a trace.

The next moment, a thunderous rumbling came from within the gray clouds, followed by a faint fluctuation that appeared simultaneously, causing everyone aboard the jade boat to sense it.

Seeing this, the elder and others' faces lit up with joy.

Han Li also nodded, retracted his third eye, then shook his sleeve outward in all directions.

Instantly, countless formation flags and plates turned into five-colored flowing light, surging wildly and vanishing into the void one after another.

After a moment, Han Li rubbed his hands together and lifted them upward.

A thunderclap!

A thick golden arc shot out and flashed away.

The next moment, a booming sound came from below, and a massive light formation the size of a mu suddenly appeared, filled with countless golden arcs flashing and leaping continuously.

Han Li flicked his sleeve downward again, and a mass of white light shot out from within, within which a disk-shaped magical artifact about a chi in size could be faintly seen.

This was none other than the famed Spirit Realm artifact, the "Inverse Star Plate."

As soon as this plate was released, it spun endlessly within the great light formation, eventually transforming into a silver moon suspended in the void.

"Crab Brother, Silver Moon, go," Han Li said, raising his eyebrows and speaking without turning his head.

As he spoke, he took a step forward and his figure blurred, vanishing from the spot.

Then, with a muffled sound from below, Han Li appeared at the center of the light formation, his body crackling with arcs of electricity.

Seeing this, the Crab Daoist and Silver Moon said nothing more and flew after him, appearing behind Han Li.

After Han Li glanced at the old man on the jade boat and Li Rong, he then made a hand seal with one hand and pointed slowly toward the sky with the other.

Immediately, the light formation above Silver Moon rang out with a clear chime, trembled, and a five-colored pillar of light shot out, plunging directly into the gray clouds.

At the same time, the light formation beneath Han Li thundered loudly, and six black-and-white pillars of light erupted amidst crackling arcs, striking the same point in the void within the gray clouds, following closely after the five-colored pillar.

After a tremendous earth-shaking boom, a blinding flash of silver light flickered in the gray clouds and vanished, and then a pitch-black huge hole appeared out of nowhere.

Han Li drew a deep breath, and suddenly golden light blazed from his body; after a flash, he pulled the two beside him into it, then let out a long whistle and transformed into a golden streak that shot straight up into the sky.

Only after a violent spatial disturbance did the golden streak instantly vanish into the black hole, leaving no trace. To be continued...
