Chapter 2264: Assistance

"The third layer of the Refining God Art! Cultivating to this realm is not that easy. When I cultivated the second layer back then, I used all kinds of means. Wanting to advance another layer in a short time is not a very possible thing..." Han Li replied somewhat speechlessly.

"I saw your battle with the Mother of Ming Insects' True Extreme Body just now through the formation. Your physical body is not inferior to those Profound Immortals. But based on this point, plus some of my pointers, cultivating to the third layer of the Refining God Art is not as difficult as you imagine. Although I didn't cultivate this technique back then, as a patrol envoy, I naturally caught several guys who cultivated this forbidden technique. Getting some tips on cultivating this technique from their mouths is an easy thing," the man said confidently.

"Senior is making it somewhat difficult for Junior. Since cultivating this technique has endless aftermaths, wanting to cultivate this technique further is something Junior needs to think about carefully. Otherwise, even if I ascend to the Immortal World, wouldn't I be chased and beaten by everyone?" Han Li hesitated for a moment before saying with a bitter smile.

"I know the fellow daoist's thoughts, that you still don't believe my words.

It doesn't matter. Based on your current cultivation, even if you don't continue to cultivate the Refining God Art, within a thousand years at most, or a hundred years at least, you will discover the impropriety in your spiritual sense sea yourself. By then, you will naturally come to find me. As for the fellow daoist considering the matters after ascending to the Immortal World now, isn't it a bit too early? It's better to think about how to get rid of the danger of falling and whether you can truly borrow this technique to ascend to the Immortal World, which is more practical," the man said indifferently, without any intention of forcing Han Li.

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior. This matter relates to Junior's future cultivation path, so I have to be cautious. Junior needs some time to think about it carefully and will give Senior a reply as soon as possible. However, Junior still has one thing I want to ask Senior?" Han Li's expression shifted between light and shadow for a long time before he exhaled and asked.

"Oh, what else do you want to know?" The man wasn't surprised by Han Li's answer and asked back calmly.

"I want to know what the Immortal World is like," Han Li's gaze flashed slightly as he asked.

"Hehe, the Immortal World? It's still too early for you now. If you truly want to know, I will tell you some specific content when you are about to pass the ascension tribulation. But for now, I can only tell you the word 'vast.' Once you reach the Immortal World, you will understand the vastness of each immortal domain. Even if an immortal uses their whole life's strength, it is impossible to walk through even the most inconspicuous immortal domain. So even if you have cultivated the Refining God Art, as long as you don't go to the major cities of the immortal domain you are in, it is generally very safe," the man replied indifferently.

"Hearing Senior say this, Junior has a few more points of yearning for the Immortal World," Han Li smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Whether it is cultivation resources or all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the Immortal World is naturally far from comparable to the lower realm. Otherwise, why would I struggle so hard to seek a way to return? Alright, since you don't intend to agree to my transaction request immediately, I won't keep you anymore. I have an object here that is also quite useful for you now, take it and treat it as a reward for killing the Mother of Ming Insects. Hehe, I have never owed anyone a favor in my life,"

As soon as the words fell, "Sou!" With a sound, a white light flew out from the bowl.

Han Li scanned it with his spiritual sense, his expression moved slightly. He grabbed with one hand and took the white light into his palm. It was actually a crystal jade piece as thin as paper, but its surface was engraved with dense gold and silver runes. Looking somewhat familiar, it was exactly the two types of Immortal World true scripts: Silver Tadpole Script and Golden Seal Script.

"This is a treasure talisman I brought down from the Immortal World back then. It contains a drop of Purple Cloud Essence, which is also very rare in the Immortal World, and should be enough to compensate for the source power you lost after igniting the root fire earlier," the man's voice said without any emotion.

Han Li sensed the immortal spiritual qi emitted from the jade piece, which was completely different from ordinary spiritual qi, through his fingers. He was overjoyed, and after putting away the object in his hand, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him repeatedly.

"You can go. When you decide to continue cultivating the Refining God Art, come to this place to see me again." As soon as the man's voice spoke, the gray-white light array beneath Han Li's feet flashed, teleporting him out.

"Already cultivated

After the man's voice in the alms bowl fell silent for a while, he said leisurely.

Following this, the entire altar trembled violently, and the eight bronze pillars nearby also roared, suddenly conjuring a super-giant array pattern beneath the entire stone forest.

After a flash of light, both the stone forest and the altar's bronze pillars seemed to vanish into thin air like phantoms.

The original ground became empty once again. One year later, on the peak of a ten-thousand-foot-tall giant mountain not too far from the edge of the Origin Demon Land, a youth draped in a black robe was sitting cross-legged on a giant rock, his eyes slightly closed in meditation.

I do not know how much time passed, but the youth suddenly changed his expression and opened his eyes, his pupils faintly emitting a pale purple piercing light.

"Why is it you who came..." The youth's expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself, his words faintly carrying a hint of wariness.

A moment later, a sound of breaking through the air rang out in the sky, and with a flash of spiritual light, a glaring green rainbow shot through the air brazenly, and after a few blurs, it arrived eerily above the giant mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Yan, you are quite punctual; you actually arrived two hours earlier than agreed!" After the escape light faded, a youth in his twenties appeared in the green light, and after his gaze swept over the giant rock below, he said with a smile on his lips.

This youth was none other than Han Li, while the person below was Yuan Yan, one of the three Origin Ancestors of the Demon Race. "It was not Your Excellency who invited me here. Where is Bao Hua, or was all of this planned by her?" Yuan Yan's expression did not change, but he said coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Bao Hua should be far away at Jade Cloud Valley a million miles away right now. And the reason I appeared here is to fulfill her appointment, to let you, Fellow Daoist, linger here for a while longer." Han Li smiled and frankly stated the purpose of his trip.

"Jade Cloud Valley, that is where Six Extremes is temporarily recuperating! So, Bao Hua has truly decided to make a move against her, preparing to take back the position of Origin Ancestor. Nirvana's side should also have someone holding him back. And among these Great Ascension stage existences from the outside world, besides Your Excellency, the only one who could hold back Nirvana is likely that Copper Crow Elder. I don't know what benefits Bao Hua promised you to make you willing to be used by her." Yuan Yan's expression was somewhat ugly, but somewhat unexpectedly for Han Li, he did not get angry; instead, he pondered for a moment and asked very calmly.

"I have not asked who is responsible for Nirvana's side, but it is undoubtedly Copper Crow Elder. As for the benefits, Han Mou has naturally received some, otherwise, why would I be willing to easily face the existence of an Origin Ancestor?" Han Li replied unhurriedly.

"Hmph, according to what people say, although it was several people attacking at the same time to kill that Mother of Myriad Insects, it seems you contributed the most. It seems that after advancing to the Great Ascension stage, you have finally become an existence that can keep pace with us. However, if you really think you can stop this seat from leaving, you can try." Purple light flickered in Yuan Yan's eyes, but his words gradually became cold and sharp.

"Killing that insect mother was the result of many people attacking together. Although Han Mou played a small role, I dare not take all the credit for myself. As for whether you, Fellow Daoist, feel confident that you can leave safely after Han Mou makes a move, you can try." Facing this scene, Han Li only said these two sentences indifferently.

Yuan Yan's expression became somewhat ugly after hearing Han Li's words, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

After a full cup of tea's time, Yuan Yan, who had pondered for a good while, sighed lightly and said:

"Regardless, this seat was able to escape from the seal this time thanks to Bao Hua bringing people to help. For the sake of this favor, this seat will not interfere with her move this time. If she succeeds, I will also acknowledge her return to the position of Origin Ancestor. If she fails, I will never give her a second chance; after all, the three Origin Ancestors of the Sacred World have always advanced and retreated together."

"It is naturally a fortunate thing that you, Fellow Daoist, can make such a decision. If you, Fellow Daoist Yuan, do not mind, why don't we take this opportunity to exchange some cultivation insights?" Hearing this, Han Li was naturally happy to be relaxed and said with a full face of smiles.

"This seat is also somewhat interested in the astonishing strength of Fellow Daoist Han that has surged to such a level after advancing. It would be good for us to exchange some ideas!" This time, Yuan Yan only thought about it slightly before agreeing.

Hearing this, Han Li did not stand on ceremony; after pointing at the mountain below, a giant rock on the mountain peak suddenly rose from the ground, and after a shift, it landed heavily not far from Yuan Yan.

Seeing this, a flash of colorful light appeared on Han Li's body, and he slowly descended from the high place.

Above a small island in another giant lake far away, Copper Crow Elder was suspended in mid-air with an expressionless face.

Opposite him, a handsome youth wrapped in a layer of crystal-clear armor was coldly staring at the old man, a hint of malice faintly visible on his face.

In a valley covered with emerald green bamboo, a boundless sea of mist composed of white fog emerged, shrouding the entire valley.

And in the center of the mist sea, rumbling and bursting sounds were continuous; amidst the rolling and surging white fog, countless phantom images of pink petals were swirling and dancing up and down.
