Chapter 2036: Heavenly Fate Copper Coin

The giant green ship and the three streaks of light appeared above the valley almost at the same time. Facing each other from afar, both sides couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect the Fellow Daoists of the Spirit Race to arrive here at this time. I, Long, offer my greetings," the Long family's Ancestor revealed his figure as his escape light converged, and he said with a smile to the opposite side.

"Qianqiu thought Brother Long had already arrived in the valley. I didn't expect you to have just arrived as well," Saintess Qianqiu's voice also came from the giant ship. Then, with a flash of her figure, she appeared at the front of the giant ship.

Behind her were four other figures. Three of them were the other Sacred Spirit existences of the Spirit Race who had appeared on the giant ship earlier, but the fourth person who had newly appeared was a young man with an extremely pale complexion, with a layer of faint blue mist drifting around his body and an expressionless face.

"Haha, I should have arrived two days earlier, but I encountered some trouble on the way, which wasted some time. It is truly thoughtful of you Fellow Daoists to be so punctual after such a long journey," the Long family's Ancestor laughed and said. After sweeping his gaze over the faces of the five people opposite, he paused slightly on the figure in the white light, a strange look flashing across his face.

"Encountered trouble? It won't have any adverse effect on our trip, will it?" The woman in the yellow robe asked cautiously with a stern expression upon hearing this.

"Fairy Qianqiu, rest assured. It was just that we encountered a few high-tier Demon Race members on the way, but they have already been dealt with by us. Our trip will not leak any news," the Long family's Ancestor replied with a smile.

"Since Brother Long says so, this concubine can rest assured. It seems some Fellow Daoists of your noble race have already arrived a step earlier. Let's go down and discuss," Saintess Qianqiu's expression relaxed upon hearing this.

"Hmm, this aura belongs to Fellow Daoist Han and Fairy Ye. Let's go down and gather with them," the Long family's Ancestor swept his spiritual sense toward the valley below and said immediately upon discovering them.

Thereupon, both sides flew toward the valley below. As for the Spirit Race's green giant ship, it didn't know what kind of secret technique it used; it had originally stayed in mid-air, but after the old Confucian scholar pointed at it, it flashed and hid itself in place, disappearing.

Several Sacred Spirits followed the Long family's Ancestor and the others, landing lightly in the center of the valley.

Just as their feet touched the ground, a clear male voice suddenly came:

"Fellow Daoists, you have finally arrived. Fairy Ye and I have been waiting for a long time."

As soon as the voice fell, escape lights flashed at the other end of the valley, and two streaks of light appeared, arriving in front of the two groups with a sound of breaking air.

As the light flashed, the figures of Han Li and the feather-clad young lady appeared silently.

"It really is the two Fellow Daoists! Now that everyone has arrived," the Long family's Ancestor revealed a smile the moment he saw Han Li and the other.

"Except for Fellow Daoist Qianqiu, the other Fellow Daoists of the Spirit Race are all very unfamiliar. I wonder if you could introduce them to us?" Han Li nodded in response, swept his eyes over Saintess Qianqiu and the others, and said calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Han is already in the late stage of Body Integration!"

Contrary to Han Li's composure, Saintess Qianqiu's expression changed drastically and she exclaimed after sweeping her spiritual sense over Han Li.

One must know that when Han Li first met this woman at the Ten Thousand Spirit Platform, he was only in the early stage of Body Integration. Now, after only a few hundred years, he had surged to the late stage, which naturally gave Saintess Qianqiu a big fright.

"I was indeed fortunate enough to advance to the late stage. I have let Fellow Daoist Qianqiu see a joke," Han Li replied with a faint smile.

With his current cultivation, facing fellow cultivators in the late stage of Body Integration, he couldn't hide his true cultivation realm without deliberately using secret techniques.

When the other Sacred Spirits of the Spirit Race heard this woman's words, their gazes "swished" and they subconsciously sized up Han Li, unable to help but reveal surprised expressions as well.

These Sacred Spirits of the Spirit Race had already understood the information about the human cultivators they were cooperating with in great detail before setting off, so they naturally recognized Han Li at a glance.

But the fact that the human cultivator who should have had the lowest cultivation—the early stage of Body Integration—had suddenly become a terrifying existence in the late stage made them all feel horrified.

"Hehe, Brother Han is a cultivation genius rarely seen in our human race in one hundred thousand years; that is why he can cultivate so quickly. However, with Fellow Daoist Han's cultivation greatly increased, we naturally have more confidence in this trip," the Long family's Ancestor laughed and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"This concubine has indeed heard rumors that Fellow Daoist Han's cultivation talent is extraordinary, but I never imagined that after entering the Body Integration realm, Fellow Daoist Han could still have such a monstrous advancement speed. But as Brother Long said, this is indeed a good thing for our trip to the Demon Realm. By the way, let me introduce the other Fellow Daoists of our race. These are all bitter cultivators of our Spirit Race, and outsiders have rarely known about them. This is Elder Jingu of our Spirit Race's Gold lineage, who is proficient in sound wave powers and is good at dealing with large numbers of enemies..." Saintess Qianqiu's thoughts turned rapidly, and the look of shock on her face finally disappeared quite a bit. She pointed to the thin, gray-robed man and began to introduce him.

The feather-clad young lady and the others listened while observing the other Sacred Spirits.

From the woman in the yellow robe's words, they learned that besides Elder Jingu, the old Confucian scholar was called "Cangxing" and was proficient in magic arrays and restriction techniques.

The Sacred Spirit whose appearance could not be seen clearly in the white light was called "Bai Qi." Besides being proficient in several great powers that countered Demon arts, they were quite knowledgeable about some matters of the Demon Realm.

Finally, the pale-faced young man was lightly described by the woman in the yellow robe as a newly advanced Body Integration elder of the Spirit Tool Race, named "Zhisui," who possessed unique secret techniques in shattering the void.

Among these Sacred Spirits, except for Saintess Qianqiu and the figure in the white light who were in the late stage of Body Integration, the old Confucian scholar and the thin man were in the mid-stage. As for the young man named "Zhisui," he was only in the early stage.

On the surface, if Han Li hadn't unexpectedly become a late-stage Body Integration cultivator, the Spirit Race's strength would have truly suppressed the human side.

The Long family's Ancestor finished observing, and nothing unusual could be seen on his face. Instead, he smiled and greeted these Sacred Spirits one by one.

As for the Spirit Race side, except for the old Confucian scholar and the thin man who responded with smiles, Bai Qi and the young man named "Zhisui" were cold and expressionless, respectively, without any reaction at all.

The Long family's Ancestor was a person of great scheming and naturally didn't care about these things. He also introduced Han Li and the others to the Spirit Race people.

Because the Sacred Spirit called Bai Qi emitted a late-stage spiritual pressure that was clearly stronger than Saintess Qianqiu's, the human cultivators subconsciously focused most of their attention on this mysterious Sacred Spirit.

However, this late-stage Sacred Spirit didn't know what kind of thing they had become a spirit from. The white light emitted from their body flickered and changed, and even after Han Li looked at them a few more times, he felt dizzy and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

In the following time, both sides didn't say any more nonsense. They immediately sat cross-legged under a giant tree nearby and began to discuss the details of entering the Demon Realm.

Because they had started preparing for this trip to the Demon Realm many years ago, they had naturally planned every step in great detail. Now, they only needed to make some small adjustments according to the local conditions.

Therefore, in less than two hours, both sides had discussed everything properly. Everyone took to the air again and flew into the green giant ship that had appeared in the sky again.

After a hum, the green giant ship flashed with seven-colored light and flew away toward the horizon like a faint green light.

After a moment, the green light disappeared without a trace at the end of the sky, having escaped several hundred miles away.

However, the people on the giant ship naturally didn't know that in the ten-thousand-foot-high sky, less than a few dozen miles away from them, a white light mass that was almost invisible was also flying silently at high speed, following closely behind the green giant ship.

In this eerie light mass, an ugly black-armored man was asking a palace-dressed woman with pink light flowing all over her body in surprise:

"Master, you said that among those foreign races, there is actually someone who makes you feel wary? That's impossible! Although you, Master, cannot exert the powers of a Sacred Ancestor due to your injuries, it shouldn't be a problem to solve these Body Integration existences one by one if you take more time."

The palace-dressed woman's face was covered by pink light. She held a purple-gold copper coin in her hand, rubbing it back and forth between her fingers. After a long while, she replied indifferently:

"I am not wary of those Body Integration existences, but this 'Heavenly Fate Copper Coin' of mine suddenly reacted on its own just now, indicating that among these Body Integration existences, someone actually possesses a treasure that can threaten me. I don't want to be careless and get injured again."

The copper coin in her hand had a kind, smiling human face inscribed on one side and a fierce, terrifying ghost face on the other. As they flickered alternately, it appeared extremely eerie!

"What kind of treasure could actually threaten you, Master!" The black-armored man's expression turned stern, and he asked in horror.

"If my powers hadn't been lost, besides Profound Heaven Treasures, how many treasures in this world could truly threaten me? But now that my magic power is greatly damaged, it's hard to say. Some Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures with special powers should be able to restrain me a little now," the palace-dressed woman said slowly after her eyes flickered for a while.

"Then did Master sense any signs of the spirit medicine from these people just now!" The black-armored man's expression changed, and he asked cautiously again.

"As for the whereabouts of that spirit medicine, I did vaguely sense some from one of them, but it's a bit strange..." The palace-dressed woman frowned, and a look of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes, as if something made her hesitate.

Seeing this, the black-armored man was confused and stared at the palace-dressed woman in a daze, not daring to ask any more questions.

The green giant ship flew for three full months, hiding its tracks along the way, carefully bypassing many human and demon strongholds, and arrived at the edge of a boundless sea.
