Chapter 2171: Volume 10: The Demon Realm War, Chapter 2149: Cottonwood City
"Brother Han, I heard Grandfather say that you have a way to weaken the influence of the Heart-Forgetting Technique, but for a period of time, Little Sister must follow by your side. Is this true?" The smile on Silver Moon's face faded, and she asked solemnly.
"Ao Xiao Ancestor has already told you about this? Hmm, it is indeed the case. He has a set of divine sense secret techniques that can restrain the Heart-Forgetting Technique, allowing you to continue cultivating it. But only if I cultivate this secret technique will it be effective for you. So for the next period of time, you will have to follow by my side." Han Li didn't find it strange, but explained with a smile.
"My grandfather really has such a secret technique? I have never heard him mention it before! And why is it only effective for me if Brother Han cultivates it?" Silver Moon frowned and asked.
"You should actually be able to guess this. Just as your grandfather said, the one who tied the bell must untie it. Since your inner demon was caused by me, only after I cultivate it can it be more beneficial to you. This divine sense technique is a secret technique that your grandfather spent over a hundred years creating specifically before handing the Heart-Forgetting Technique to you. It was originally intended for precautions! After I cultivate it slightly, as long as you stay by my side, this secret technique can subtly exert an invisible influence on your mind." Han Li pondered for a moment and sighed.
"Is it really that simple! Once the Heart-Forgetting Technique continues to be cultivated, the influence on Little Sister will become stronger and stronger. Can a temporarily created divine sense secret technique really suppress it?" Silver Moon seemed a bit incredulous.
"Regarding this point, I haven't started cultivating it yet, so I can't be absolutely certain. But since it was painstakingly created by Ao Xiao Ancestor, I think it shouldn't be fake. And this divine sense secret technique should be like the Heart-Forgetting Technique, with the restraint effect becoming stronger as the cultivation deepens." Han Li thought for a moment and replied.
"Alright, even if the divine sense secret technique is really effective, how long will Little Sister have to stay by your side? Does Brother Han have to keep me by your side for as long as I can't get rid of the Heart-Forgetting Technique?" Silver Moon's eyes flashed with a strange look, and she asked leisurely.
"That's not necessarily the case. According to Ao Xiao Ancestor, as long as you can advance to the Mahayana stage, you can get rid of the restrictions of the Heart-Forgetting Technique." Han Li replied without hesitation.
"Advancing to Mahayana, this is too slim! It seems Silver Moon will really have to follow Brother Han for a long time." Silver Moon's eyes flashed with a strange look, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"You have the Seven-Star Moon Body. Compared to ordinary cultivators, you still have a not-so-small chance of advancing to the Mahayana stage, so there's no need to be discouraged. Moreover, during this process, perhaps Ao Xiao Ancestor and I will have already found other ways to break it, so you don't necessarily have to advance to Mahayana to solve the Heart-Forgetting Technique." Han Li said with a smile.
"That's true. But at least for a few hundred years, I'm sticking with Brother Han!" Silver Moon smiled sweetly.
In the following time, the two chatted about other things and even exchanged some insights on cultivation.
Time passed unconsciously.
"Alright, it's getting late. The Heart-Forgetting Technique is about to act up again, so Little Sister will go back to meditate and sit quietly. If Little Sister is impolite to Brother Han under the influence of the Heart-Forgetting Technique, I hope Brother Han will forgive me." Silver Moon looked at the sky outside the window, stood up, and said her farewells.
"Naturally, how could I take it to heart?" Han Li smiled and stood up as well.
So Silver Moon bowed and left the room without saying anything else.
The room door flashed with white light and closed silently on its own.
Han Li sat back down cross-legged, the smile on his face vanishing to be replaced by a contemplative expression.
At the same time, Silver Moon, who had already left the room, turned a few corners in the corridor and came to a relatively quiet corner. Suddenly, she stopped and said faintly:
"Liaoying, come out. I have something to ask you!"
Before the voice fell, the void nearby fluctuated, and a nearly transparent phantom flashed out. The body gradually condensed and became clear, finally turning into a slim woman wearing a tight-fitting black robe.
This woman wore a bronze-colored wolf-head mask, her hands were wrapped in black gloves, and not a single bit of skin was exposed on her entire body. Her feet were a foot off the ground, floating lightly in the void.
"Miss, what are your orders?" The masked woman asked in a cold voice.
"Liaoying, I know that when Brother Han and Grandfather were talking privately, you should have been in the hall too. At that time, besides the divine sense secret technique, did Grandfather make any other requests to Brother Han? Don't hide anything from me." Silver Moon stared at the masked woman and asked solemnly.
The masked woman's eyes flashed slightly, and after seeming to smile, she said:
"Since Ao Xiao-my lord changed the contract to Miss, I am only Miss's shadow guard, so I naturally won't hide anything. When Ao Xiao-my lord first mentioned it, it wasn't the divine sense secret technique, but wanting to marry Miss to Fellow Daoist Han as his wife. my lord guaranteed that as long as Fellow Daoist Han agreed to this marriage, he would not only pass on his experience and insights on advancing to Mahayana, but also be willing to give most of his life's treasures as a dowry. However, Fellow Daoist Han still refused, only agreeing to help Miss with the divine sense secret technique later."
"Grandfather really did that. He probably thought that as long as he promoted my marriage to Brother Han, once my wish was fulfilled, the flaws in my state of mind could be made up for by myself. But this time, he thought wrong. With Brother Han's character, it's impossible for him to agree! If he really agreed to this marriage, I would probably be disappointed instead. But after Grandfather was refused, his face shouldn't have looked good." Silver Moon said leisurely.
"Fellow Daoist Han is not an ordinary late Body Integration cultivator. After Ao Xiao-my lord was refused, although he was unhappy, he didn't say much." The masked woman said calmly.
"That's natural. Brother Han is the existence most likely to advance to Mahayana after Grandfather and Senior Mo Jianli, and is the greatest hope for the Human and Demon races to establish a foothold in the Spirit Realm. No matter how dissatisfied Grandfather is, he won't do anything unfavorable to Fellow Daoist Han. That's fine! Liaoying, you go down." Silver Moon was stunned for a moment before ordering.
"Then Liaoying will take her leave." The masked woman bowed slightly, and her body blurred and disappeared directly into the void.
And Silver Moon sighed and left after pondering for a while.
The Heart-Forgetting Technique was about to act up, so she really didn't dare to delay here any longer.
In the secret room, Han Li was also recalling the situation when he talked to Ao Xiao Ancestor alone while deep in thought.
In the private talk in the hall, this Demon Race Mahayana not only proposed the intention of marrying Silver Moon to him, but also mentioned something that surprised Han Li beforehand.
Silver Moon's nominal husband, that Tiankui Wolf King of the Demon Race, had actually fallen in a great battle between the Demon Race and the Demon Race decades ago after being ambushed by several Demon Venerables.
In this way, the slight misgivings in Ao Xiao Ancestor's heart also vanished. That's why he mentioned Silver Moon's marriage directly when he saw Han Li.
Han Li naturally refused politely.
In his heart, his true feelings for Silver Moon were 40% like a confidante, 40% like a brother-sister relationship, and only 20% involved love between a man and a woman.
Under these circumstances, he naturally wouldn't agree to the marriage proposed by Ao Xiao Ancestor.
However, he secretly made up his mind that if Ao Xiao Ancestor's divine sense secret technique ultimately couldn't resolve Silver Moon's Heart-Forgetting Technique, he would find other ways to solve this problem.
With his mind made up, he naturally didn't think much more. He closed his eyes lightly and began to cultivate again.
Just like this, in the following days, Han Li began to cultivate the divine sense secret technique given by Ao Xiao Ancestor in the building ship's secret room.
According to Ao Xiao Ancestor, as long as this secret technique is cultivated to a certain level, it can spontaneously emit a divine sense fluctuation that restrains the Heart-Forgetting Technique from the body.
Of course, this technique is not without benefits for the cultivator's divine sense enhancement, but it cannot be compared with the specialized divine sense strengthening thunder secret technique.
Moreover, after Han Li cultivated it slightly, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this technique, which Ao Xiao Ancestor said was difficult to cultivate, felt unusually easy, and he had a strange feeling of water flowing into a channel when cultivating it.
He understood after thinking about it carefully later that this was mostly related to his cultivation of the Refining God Technique.
Since he had already mastered such immortal realm secret techniques as the Refining God Technique, other ordinary divine sense secret techniques naturally felt extremely simple.
In just two short months, he had mastered the first few layers of this divine sense secret technique and reached the level of small success.
During this period, Silver Moon came to find him several times when the Heart-Forgetting Technique was not acting up. Every time, the two talked in detail for a long time and were satisfied before parting.
Just like this, the building ship returned smoothly, and after more than half a month, it finally entered the Wood Race Spirit Domain controlled by the coalition of all races.
Under Ao Xiao Ancestor's control, the building ship didn't stop at all and headed straight for "Cottonwood City," where the coalition headquarters was located.
On the way, the building ship encountered many patrol teams of various races, but they clearly recognized this flying treasure of Ao Xiao Ancestor and all bowed respectfully from afar, with no intention of coming up to check or block them.
After flying for another dozen days, a dozen giant trees thousands of zhang tall appeared on the ground in the distance.
Each of these giant trees was five or six thousand zhang tall, about thirty or forty zhang thick, and was entirely emerald green, with a faint layer of fluorescent light flickering.
Using these giant trees as pillars, a giant city divided into a dozen levels rose from the ground, entirely built of various trees, without a trace of stone, tile, or mud.
And on the tall wooden city walls of each level, teams of guards of various races with different images could be vaguely seen.
This was precisely the "Cottonwood City" where the coalition of all races was stationed, and it was also the second largest city of the Wood Race in the past.
