Chapter 2146

"It's called a restriction, but it can't be considered a restriction. It's just that the demon art I practice is a unique technique created by her, so it naturally leaves behind a countermeasure. Unless my cultivation is deeper than this ancestor, as long as she has a thought, my entire magic power will be controlled by her, and I can't resist at all. Moreover, regarding the matter of the spare incarnation, Liuji made it clear beforehand, and it was my own choice. I really can't blame her too much. And before this, she had great kindness to me. If she hadn't helped me back then, how could I have had the chance to ascend, and I would have long since turned into a cup of yellow earth under the Nine Springs because of staying in the mortal world," Zi Ling sighed, but said this.

"What exactly did you encounter in the mortal world back then, and how could this Saint Ancestor Liuji help you ascend?" Han Li's heart turned rapidly, and he asked solemnly.

"Actually, there's nothing to say. Back then, limited by my aptitude, although I condensed into a Nascent Soul, I could never take the step of Spirit Transformation. With such cultivation, even if I risked entering the space node, there was basically no possibility of survival. With no other way, I had to think about external objects. Back then, I began to travel all over the secret places of the mortal world, wanting to find some useful spiritual herbs to refine pills to help myself break through the bottleneck. According to my thoughts, even if I couldn't find any, if I could find some powerful protective treasures, I would dare to risk breaking through the space node before my lifespan was exhausted. But I never expected that I spent hundreds of years, didn't find suitable spiritual herbs and treasures, but found an altar left by ancient demons, and accidentally triggered it," Zi Ling stopped and smiled helplessly when she said this.

"Could it be that with the help of that altar, you contacted Saint Ancestor Liuji!" Han Li was a bit enlightened.

"Although the process was a bit complicated and not that easy, the final result was about the same. A wisp of Saint Ancestor Liuji's spiritual sense did use the altar to descend across the air. There's no need to elaborate on what happened later. Under the persuasion of Liuji's wisp of spiritual sense, I finally used some true demon energy remaining in that secret place to perform demon energy infusion, thereby switching to demon cultivation arts, and advanced to the Spirit Transformation realm in one day. The speed and ease of cultivation were something I never expected. According to Liuji, I possess the rare Virgin Prime Yin Body, and cultivating demon arts is a natural path for me to take, with half the effort. This is also the reason why she took the initiative to help me ascend to the Demon Realm. If it were an ordinary mortal world cultivator, even if they could contact her, why would she bother with such things? And after I ascended to the Demon Realm and saw Liuji in person, I truly knew that she helped me just to prepare a spare incarnation body for herself," Zi Ling said slowly.

"Since you know her purpose, there's no need to agree to be her disciple. As for the kindness of helping you ascend, you can find a way to repay it later," Han Li asked with a gloomy face.

"Things are not that simple. Back then, Liuji did give me a choice! Either she would immediately take back the true demon energy she bestowed upon me, and abolish the unique demon art she passed down, letting me fall back to the low-level cultivator realm. Or, I would become her seventh disciple, acting as a spare body for her incarnation. She made it very clear that because of the limitations of the cultivation technique, including her main body, she could only possess six major incarnations. If the existing incarnations are always fine, naturally there is no need to use us disciples to supplement them. And with Liuji's ancestor status, even incarnations are not that easy to encounter danger. Therefore, it is very likely that we people can continue to be her disciples. Her eldest disciple has already advanced to the late-stage Body Integration realm, and has even lived freely for tens of thousands of years without any trouble. Moreover, Liuji promised that if she really has the day to cross the tribulation and ascend, she won't need any incarnations, and we can truly obtain freedom. And before this, all the resources for our disciples' cultivation can be supplied infinitely, without having to search everywhere like other demons. And as far as I know, the danger level of the Demon Realm is not comparable to the mortal world or even your Spirit Realm. Every year, countless high-level demons fall in various dangerous places and disputes. In this situation, if it were Brother Han, what choice would you make?" Zi Ling said so much in one breath, and finally asked back with a dim expression.

"Me..."

Han Li's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he looked up at the sky and muttered.

"Brother Han's perseverance has always been admired by Zi Ling. Perhaps if it were Brother Han, the choice made would be different. But for me, on one side is a sharp drop in cultivation, and from then on having to take huge risks, struggling to live in this Demon Realm, not knowing when I will easily fall. On the other side is the great possibility of living safely for tens of thousands of years, or even longer, without worrying about any cultivation resources. The temptation is simply not something I, a little girl who just ascended to the Demon Realm, can resist. So, I naturally became the seventh disciple under Liuji, and now I even have some fame in the Demon Realm, and have a group of subordinates," Zi Ling sighed again.

"No wonder you made this choice. If it were me in that situation, I would have to bow my head too. However, this kind of being controlled by others is not a long-term plan. Have you ever thought of a way to get rid of it?" Han Li took a deep breath and asked, fully able to imagine Zi Ling's helpless situation back then.

"If there was a way to get rid of Liuji's control, the other six disciples above me are all high-level demons who have advanced to the Body Integration realm, so why would they still be obediently under Liuji for such a long time? Liuji herself is a Demon Ancestor, plus she has many incarnations and countless subordinates to drive. Even if I could really get rid of her control for a while, how long could I really hide? Unless I hide in other realms. But after leaving the Demon Realm, a place with abundant demon energy, my demon arts would be abolished, and not only would there be no possibility of further advancement, but my cultivation would likely drop greatly," Zi Ling's face was bitter, obviously having considered this problem countless times.

"In that case, it is indeed very tricky! But if you take some risks, it is not really impossible to solve," Han Li's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he began to ponder with flickering eyes.

"Why, Brother Han has a way? Forget it, even if your magical powers are not small now, facing an existence like Liuji is still beyond your reach. The risk of my matter is too great, it's better not to involve you," Zi Ling was surprised at first, but immediately remembered something, and shook her head repeatedly with worry.

"It is indeed unlikely that I can fight against an ancestor like Liuji with my current strength. But my cultivation is not standing still. As long as I am given some more time, I have some confidence in advancing to the Mahayana stage. By then, I ask myself that although I may not be able to defeat Liuji, I will not be too far behind. By then, I will have the qualifications to bargain with this demon," Han Li's eyes flashed, but he said with a sneer.

"You have the confidence to advance to Mahayana!" Zi Ling, although she had already overestimated Han Li's strength, couldn't help but lose her voice upon hearing his words, and even her voice trembled slightly!

"Don't worry, I dare to say this, naturally I have some confidence," Han Li smiled slightly, looking confident.

Zi Ling looked blankly at Han Li's confident face, and a trace of strangeness flashed in her heart. After a long while, she replied softly:

"Since you said so, I naturally believe it. Let's do this, wait until you advance to Mahayana, and then discuss it. When you really have the magical powers of the Mahayana stage, I think tearing space and coming to the Demon Realm again shouldn't be a difficult thing..."

"That's fine. Your cultivation is not too high yet. Even if one of Liuji's incarnations really falls, she won't find you for a while. You just endure for a while," Han Li pondered for a while, knowing that this matter really couldn't be solved by impulse, so he forcibly suppressed the worry in his heart and nodded slowly.

"Alright, Brother Han has been talking about my affairs, why not talk about your own experiences. You have advanced to the late Body Integration stage in such a short time, I think your experiences in the Spirit Realm must be much more exciting than mine," as if to dispel Han Li's thoughts about her, Zi Ling's eyes flowed, and she suddenly changed the topic.

"Hmm, I ascended a bit earlier, and I have indeed experienced many things in the Spirit Realm. It's fine to tell you," Han Li was stunned at first, but immediately replied with a smile.

In the following time, Han Li slowly recounted some of his experiences after he passed through the space node from the Spirit Realm and arrived in the Spirit Realm. Of course, Han Li naturally didn't mention some very secret things.

Her experiences in the Spirit Realm were naturally extremely exciting.

Zi Ling's expression changed repeatedly, and she even danced with joy involuntarily. The charming appearance of covering her mouth and exclaiming from time to time was truly extremely seductive!

After Han Li finished speaking, Zi Ling naturally recounted a few things she encountered in the Demon Realm, and incidentally talked about the process of getting to know Lan Ying.

Only then did Han Li know that Zi Ling had once saved this woman's life by chance. This made such a young girl with an extraordinary status call Zi Ling sister from then on.

Speaking of this, Han Li suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask what Zi Ling had asked the hemp-clothed young girl to divine back then, that she took the initiative to visit today.

Upon hearing Han Li's question, Zi Ling's face turned crimson, and she refused to tell Han Li the details of the divination no matter what.

Han Li looked at the shy expression of the beauty in front of him, and felt seven or eight points in his heart. He immediately smiled lightly, but didn't ask any further, and instead asked another question, whether Lan Ying had a way to resolve her difficulty of being used as Liuji's incarnation.

Zi Ling shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this!

Saying that this matter involves the Demon Ancestor, even if Guangyuan Studio is considered to have great magical powers, it is helpless in this regard. Even the divination technique would not have much effect!

The previous owner of Guangyuan Studio was Lan Ying's grandmother. After she fell in an accident, the hemp-clothed young girl was able to take over the position of studio owner.

But because many of the original high-level protectors of Guangyuan Studio fell with the hemp-clothed young girl's grandmother, even though Lan Ying took over the position of studio owner, the current Guangyuan Studio is also strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and is actually extremely weak. It relies entirely on the former name of Guangyuan Studio, and Aunt Zhu and another remaining high-level protector to barely maintain the facade.

Otherwise, with the powerful strength of Guangyuan Studio in the past, Liuji would also be wary of it. If she had really asked for mercy before, there might have been a chance to help Zi Ling get out. But now, she is really willing but unable to do so."

After Han Li finished listening to this explanation, he nodded secretly in his heart, and accepted this explanation.

Just like this, Han Li and Zi Ling talked for half a day!

The two even talked about some small things in cultivation life, and they were all interested, without feeling the passage of time at all.

After an unknown amount of time, the five-colored light curtain that originally covered the entire room suddenly shook for a while.

Just when Han Li's expression moved, a magnetic female voice passed through the light curtain:

"Have the two of you talked enough! It's already night, if you continue to chat, our studio will have to close its doors to guests. Brother, don't you still have a matter that needs my little sister's help to solve? I wonder if you still need it now?"

This voice was naturally the voice of the hemp-clothed young girl. (To be continued)
