Chapter 2412: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2394: Meeting (Part 2)

Ling Feixian didn't dare to be negligent toward these high-level human cultivators of the same race, and since there was nothing she could hide, she told them Han Li's background frankly.

In this way, overnight, all the human cultivators in the vicinity knew that Han Li was indeed a human Great Ascension cultivator from the Spirit Realm. They were all extremely excited, and many wanted to change their minds and visit Han Li on the ship in person.

However, no sooner did these human cultivators approach within a mile of the giant ship than they were blocked by a layer of invisible barrier released by the giant ship. Not daring to force their way in, they could only leave the vicinity of the giant ship helplessly.

The next morning, spiritual light flashed at the edge of the sky, and several blinding long rainbows shot over with a 'chi chi' sound.

Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged in the ship's cabin, felt a movement in his heart. He pinched a magic art with one hand, retracted the invisible barrier released by the Holy Ship, and then walked toward the bow of the ship with a big stride.

He saw those few streaks of light arrive above the giant ship in an instant. After the escape light retracted, they revealed several human male and female cultivators.

These cultivators all hovered and stopped in the high sky more than a hundred feet away from the giant ship. Only a girl in white, who looked like a fairy from heaven, drifted down without a hint of smoke or fire, flying straight toward Han Li.

Han Li's gaze condensed, and he stared fixedly at the girl's face. For a time, he didn't see anyone else in his eyes.

After a few flashes, the girl in white appeared right before Han Li. After her beautiful eyes flashed with crystalline light, she opened her lips slightly and said:

"Husband, you finally found this place. I never doubted that this day would come, but the wait was so long, and this longing was truly too hard to bear."

"Wan'er."

After Han Li spat out these two words, he didn't say anything else, just stretched out a palm and lightly brushed his finger across the girl's silk-smooth face, as if stroking some peerless treasure.

Everything was understood without words.

The girl in white was naturally Nangong Wan, whom Han Li had been searching for for many years and finally met today. She was also the 'Fairy Yue' who enjoyed great prestige among the humans in the Small Spirit Realm.

All the human cultivators in the distance were stirred up upon seeing this scene.

You must know that with Nangong Wan's current status as the 'number one powerhouse of the human race', plus her peerless grace that no one could match, she had long been regarded as a dream goddess by countless young male cultivators.

Now that she was acting so intimately with an outsider male cultivator, it truly made many people dumbfounded, and their hearts were filled with jealousy and hatred.

Only the few human powerhouses who had come to the giant ship with Nangong Wan didn't show any surprise, but they looked at the scene before them with different expressions.

The next moment, the girl in white moved, and her whole body seemed weightless as she threw herself into Han Li's arms...

Half a day later, in a bedroom decorated elegantly on the Holy Ship, on a jade-like stone bed, the girl in white leaned into Han Li's arms with a hint of moving blush on her face, telling him everything she had experienced over the years in a low voice.

It turned out that after Han Li entered the spatial tunnel, Nangong Wan finally encountered a cultivation bottleneck after years of hard cultivation, and her cultivation could no longer make any progress.

Helpless, she followed in Han Li's footsteps and entered a spatial node, preparing to sneak into the Spirit Realm.

As she spoke slowly to this point, Nangong Wan sighed lightly.

"Why, could it be that you also encountered a spatial storm, Wan'er?" Han Li asked warmly, smelling the body fragrance of the jade beauty in his arms.

"I didn't encounter a spatial storm on the way, but I encountered a powerful existence fighting in the spatial node. Affected by this battle, I fell into the Small Spirit Realm amidst the turbulent spatial power," Nangong Wan suddenly showed a strange expression on her face, and after a

"Conflict? Who would dare to do such a thing in a spatial node? Is it a Great Ascension existence?" Han Li asked with a start.

"No, it was the True Spirit Luo Hou you once saw back then and another ancient True Spirit, the Hundred-Headed Insect. When I saw them, both of these existences had already fought to the point of mutual destruction, but their final mutual strike before falling still caused the node passage to rupture. Both the corpses and I fell into the Small Spirit Heaven. By a stroke of heaven-sent luck, I did not suffer too much damage and instead obtained a heaven-defying opportunity because of it," Nangong Wan replied softly.

"It was actually that fellow Luo Hou! The opportunity you speak of, could it be the corpses of these two True Spirits?" Han Li was greatly surprised, but immediately revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Correct. Whether it is Luo Hou or the Hundred-Headed Insect, even among True Spirits, they are high-ranking existences. Not to mention anything else, the massive essence contained in their crystal cores is of unimaginable value to a cultivator. It was precisely because of this heaven-defying opportunity that I was able to cultivate to my current realm in the Small Spirit Heaven, a place where spiritual energy is far inferior to the Spirit Realm, in just under two thousand years. As for you, Husband, although you were in the Spirit Realm, the fact that you have already advanced to the Great Ascension realm in the same amount of time is truly unimaginable. The further I cultivate, the more I can sense the difficulty of advancing to Great Ascension. Even with the True Spirit crystal cores in hand, I still don't have much confidence in breaking through the Great Ascension bottleneck." Nangong Wan turned her head to look at Han Li, her face revealing an undisguised trace of astonishment.

"My advancement to Great Ascension was also only successful by chance after preparing many means and contingencies. Back then, after I emerged from the spatial node at the Deity Transformation realm, it was not smooth sailing; I was severely injured in a spatial storm and even lost all my magic power for a time..."

Han Li also slowly recounted some of the things he had experienced over these years, though naturally, he glossed over some matters that were difficult to explain clearly with vague language.

However, even so, when Nangong Wan heard that Han Li had met Yuan Yao in the Underworld River, and later encountered Zi Ling in the Demon Realm, a trace of a playful, enigmatic expression could not help but appear on her peerless face.

"Unexpectedly, Yuan Yao and Zi Ling, these two confidantes of yours, also have their own opportunities and fortunes. Do you think there will be a day when you, Husband, truly ascend to the Immortal Realm, that they will also follow you relentlessly?"

"Wan'er, you jest. My meeting them again was also a matter of coincidence. As for ascending to the Immortal Realm, that is a task of immense difficulty; even I have no confidence in it right now. By the way, why did you pass the Reincarnation Technique to Guo'er? Her mother's sudden surge in cultivation over these years must also be the result of your secret assistance, right?" After a bitter laugh, Han Li asked about Zhu Guo'er.

His wife naturally knew everything about Zi Ling and Yuan Yao; her speaking this way now was certainly not out of jealousy, but mostly for the sake of teasing.

"Guo'er was a disciple I discovered in the Small Spirit Heaven after my cultivation first succeeded, whose aptitude was very suitable for practicing the Reincarnation Technique. It was just that at the time, because I held the major secret of the True Spirit crystal cores, it was not convenient to take her in as a disciple openly, so I secretly passed the technique to the girl through her mother. The girl did not fail my expectations and cultivated the Reincarnation Technique to the small success stage in a short time, but I did not expect her to end up in the Demon Realm due to an accident. As for her mother, she was a nominal disciple I later took in out of necessity. Although she is not suitable for practicing the Reincarnation Technique, her cultivation aptitude is indeed extraordinary. Because I intend to attempt to break through the Great Ascension bottleneck in a few hundred years and need someone close to me to guard the dharma, I used the True Spirit crystals to greatly elevate her cultivation to the Void Refinement realm in a short time. If there were no accidents, I originally planned to elevate her all the way to the early Body Integration stage before stopping." Nangong Wan said all this without the slightest concealment.

"So that's how it is. But now that I am here, you don't need to consider so many things. With me guarding the dharma, no one will be able to disturb your tribulation. Moreover, if we return to the Spirit Realm, I have some means that can give you a few more chances of success in crossing the Great Ascension tribulation." After exhaling lightly, Han Li said to the beauty in his arms with a tone of tenderness.

"What, Husband has such heaven-defying means?" Nangong Wan sat up straight, looking somewhat astonished.

"Hehe, do you think your husband is really just an ordinary Great Ascension existence? It is not boasting, but even if an ancient True Spirit were to fight me, who would win and who would lose is still a matter of debate." Han Li smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

"Husband actually has such confidence! If I didn't know well that you are not a person who exaggerates, I'm afraid it would be hard to believe these words. By the way, you said you would take me back to the Spirit Realm; could it be that the passage directly connecting the two realms has not disappeared? It hasn't been exposed and discovered by other races, has it?" Nangong Wan no longer hid the shock in her heart, but remembering something else, she asked hurriedly.

"Since I used the power of the passage to enter the Small Spirit Heaven, the passage naturally won't collapse and disappear in a short time. Moreover, that passage has been concealed by my magic array; ordinary array masters cannot detect its exact location. Why, Wan'er, is there something else you want to say?" Han Li was a person of great insight; he naturally heard something in Nangong Wan's words and asked in return.

"I have had some Daoist friends with whom I have good relations after being in the Small Spirit Heaven for so many years. Their cultivation has also reached a bottleneck; if they want to go further, only returning to the Spirit Realm offers hope. In addition, there are indeed some human juniors in the Small Spirit Heaven with outstanding aptitude. If we can return to the Spirit Realm, Husband, you might as well try your best to take these people with you." Nangong Wan said slowly.

"Taking these people back to the Spirit Realm is naturally no problem at all. But these people are the supporting strength of the human race in the Small Spirit Heaven. Once they are all gone, how will the remaining humans face the oppression of other alien races? The passage I came through is not very stable; it is impossible to take the entire human race out." Han Li thought for a moment, then frowned and said.

"How could I not know this? But seeing the hope of returning to the Spirit Realm, I am afraid these people would never be willing to give up this only chance to leave the Small Spirit Heaven." Nangong Wan sighed softly.

"Let's do this: let them send a few representatives to see me here in three days. Leave this matter to me, Husband, to handle." Han Li touched his chin with one hand and said with a sudden smile.
