Chapter 2452

A series of ancient silver characters appeared on the surface of the scale, and after arranging themselves slightly in the air, they immediately formed a short passage of text.

"Two years from now! The Island of the True Dragon! The Grand Lingdao Fruit Assembly! This assembly is finally going to be held." Han Li looked at the text emerging on the scale, a hint of strangeness appearing in his eyes. "Hehe, this gathering will likely bring together many powerhouses from other realms; I should go and broaden my horizons. Besides, consuming the Grand Lingdao Fruit can temporarily grant one a Grand Lingdao Body, which would be of great benefit to the cultivation of those few divine abilities of mine. I must find a way to obtain one. The promise that little girl Tian Feier made back then should finally be put to use. Two years is enough time to make a round trip to the Demon Realm first. Before that, I should let Wan'er know, so she doesn't worry too much." After pondering for a moment, Han Li finally muttered to himself, having made his decision.

Immediately, he saw him make a beckoning motion into the void with one hand, putting away the silver scale, and with a flip of his other hand, an ancient cyan mirror suddenly appeared in his palm.

He tossed the ancient mirror in front of him and quickly traced his finger across it a few times; a string of white characters flashed and vanished into it.

Then, Han Li waited quietly at the bow of the ship.

After only a moment, ripples appeared on the ancient mirror, and rows of white characters emerged as well.

After Han Li swept his gaze over them, a hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Although his dual cultivation partner had never spoken any words of persuasion, the words revealed in the message were all about urging him to be cautious and careful.

Han Li flicked his sleeve, a flash of cyan light appeared, and the ancient mirror vanished into thin air.

Following this, the giant black ship let out a roar, and Han Li began to speed forward at a pace several times faster than before.

Two months later, above a desolate land in the Demon Realm that looked entirely gray and hazy at first glance, a streak of ink-green sword light suddenly flashed and vanished, and a pale white spatial rift emerged.

A figure flickered within the rift!

Han Li slowly stepped out, holding an ink-green wooden sword.

After he swept his gaze around, his brows furrowed slightly.

This place looked very unfamiliar; it should be a place he had never been to before.

The reason he was able to enter the Demon Realm smoothly this time was, on one hand, that he had found the weakest node between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm.

On the other hand, it was due to his own sufficiently powerful magic power and the Profound Heaven Slaying Spirit Sword in his hand.

Although Mo Jianli had also been able to sneak into the Demon Realm by utilizing weak nodes back then, he had never done it as simply and easily as Han Li; instead, he had risked the possibility of falling.

However, his main purpose for coming to the Demon Realm this time was to search for the Bottle Spirit. He didn't care at all about where he was in the Demon Realm. After confirming there were no demons nearby, he took a light breath and suddenly opened his mouth, spitting out a ball of cyan light.

Within the light glow was a cyan bottle several inches tall.

Han Li spat out the word "Expand," and his ten fingers pointed at the small bottle like a spinning wheel.

After a blur, the cyan bottle expanded crazily in place, and in the blink of an eye, it became a zhang tall. The ink-green spirit patterns on its surface were as thick as a finger and exceptionally clear.

At this moment, Han Li flicked his sleeve, and over a hundred formation flags surged out. After shooting in all directions, they silently vanished.

Han Li changed his hand seals.

Immediately, a buzzing sound echoed in the surrounding void, and countless colorful runes emerged, quickly forming a massive light array about a mu in size, which seemed to perfectly surround the giant bottle at its center.

Han Li began to chant incantations, and as his body drifted, he actually flew above the giant bottle on his own and sat cross-legged in a blur.

Below, under the stimulation of a certain secret technique of Han Li's, the giant bottle and the light array below suddenly flickered between light and dark as if connected. After a clap of thunder in the clear sky, an ink-green beam of light shot out from the mouth of the bottle, flashing and disappearing into the clouds.

At the same time, a strange fluctuation emerged from the giant bottle, crazily rolling out in all directions.

Han Li slowly closed his eyes, and apart from the sound of the incantations moving slightly in his mouth, he made no other movements.

In a mysterious space in the Demon Realm, at the bottom of a pool filled with a small amount of pale silver liquid, several stone slabs suddenly shone brightly, and a massive light array emerged, flickering in and out of existence.

At the center of the light array, after several mysterious runes gathered together, a pitch-black hole appeared out of thin air.

The next moment, ripples appeared in the hole, and an ink-green beam of light sprayed out.

After a flash, the beam of light not only pierced through the pool water but also disappeared directly at the very top of the mysterious space.

Han Li's expression stirred, and he opened his eyes with great joy.

"There really is a response! The Bottle Spirit is actually in the Demon Realm! It seems this time, a truly great opportunity has arrived."

After Han Li retracted his hand seals, he stood up and glanced in the direction of the sensation, his face filled with excitement.

His body swayed suddenly, and after his two hands grabbed quickly in all directions, the massive light array collapsed with a muffled sound, reforming into over a hundred formation flags that flew back.

The giant bottle rolled in a glow of light, shrunk on its own, and turned into an ink-green ball of light that shot into his body.

Han Li stomped his foot again, the cyan light on his body intensified, and he turned into a cyan rainbow over ten zhang long, shooting away. After only two flashes, he disappeared at the edge of the horizon.

In the time that followed, Han Li would re-cast the spell every few days, pursuing the direction of the sensation day and night without stopping.

Along the way, even though he would encounter some demon beasts and demon cities, he had no intention of stopping at all, simply skimming over them using his escape technique.

With his current divine abilities, flying at full speed, there were probably few in the entire Demon Realm who could catch up to him.

Often, some ordinary demons would only hear a few "chi-chi" sounds of breaking air, but they couldn't see any trace of Han Li's escape light at all, and most would remain suspicious in place for a long time before daring to continue their journey.

Half a year later, at the top of a pitch-black peak.

Han Li stood on a towering tree, his hands behind his back, gazing at the black sea surface shrouded in layers of mist in the distance, a look of contemplation appearing on his face.

"The Demon Source Sea, so it's this place. Could it be that the Bottle Spirit is hiding in this place? Forget it, even if it really is there, could it really stop me now? At worst, I'll just try to use brute force to break it open and enter inside once more."

After Han Li's expression fluctuated for a while, he finally made up his mind and pinched a seal with one hand.

Ripples immediately appeared above the giant peak, and a pitch-black giant ship appeared silently; it was the Ink Spirit Holy Ship.

Because this ship was too conspicuous when flying, he hadn't used it for travel before. Now that he had reached the sparsely populated Demon Source Sea, he could finally put it to use.

At the same time, a roar echoed behind Han Li, and after silver arcs swirled, the figure of the Crab Daoist also appeared.

"Brother Crab, you should know this Demon Source Sea better than I do; I will have to trouble you for the journey ahead."

"I will do my best," the Crab Daoist replied indifferently after glancing at the distant Demon Sea.

After Han Li smiled slightly, he flicked his large sleeve, and a sheet of cyan glow covered them.

Their two figures immediately vanished in the glow.

The next moment, at the front of the giant ship, a cyan light rolled, and their two bodies reappeared in a blur.

Without needing Han Li's greeting, the group of puppet guards configured on the giant ship immediately went about their duties.

After a black light screen appeared on the surface of the black ship, it plunged into the sea ahead with a roar.

Countless lightning bolts bombarded it, but the ship's black light screen remained steady, seemingly unaffected. After another flash, it submerged into the mist and slowly disappeared.

Over half a month later, above a lush green giant island, the black giant ship stopped motionless in mid-air.

Not far ahead, the mu-sized light array and the giant bottle appeared once again, flickering with light.

Han Li stood at the front of the giant ship, pinching a seal with one hand, currently stimulating a certain secret technique.

Just as a glow flashed at the mouth of the giant bottle and a thick beam of light was about to spray out, a cold, questioning voice suddenly came from deep within the giant island:

"Who is it, daring to trespass on Bitter Spirit Island?"

As soon as the voice fell, a giant roar came from the center of the island, and a three-headed black flood dragon over a hundred zhang long shot out from the same direction.

Standing on the middle head of the three-headed black flood dragon was a black-robed youth with pale purple eyes and a murderous aura.

"Han Li, it's you. When did you enter the Holy Realm?" The youth asked, his heart tightening as soon as he saw Han Li's face clearly.

The person who had arrived was none other than Yuan Yan, one of the three ancestors of the Demon Race.

"Why, can't I come here?" Han Li wasn't too surprised; he didn't stop the hand seals in his hand at all, instead replying indifferently.

"Hmph, Brother Han, why are you not staying properly in the Human Realm and coming to Bitter Spirit Island again? You have now entered the Mahayana realm; the Spirit Cleansing Pool is of no use to you at all." Yuan Yan looked at the Crab Daoist behind Han Li, then glanced at the exceptionally conspicuous light array and giant bottle, saying with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Brother Yuan, don't overthink it; I have no interest in the Spirit Cleansing Pool. I only came this time to find something else, and I will leave immediately once I find it," Han Li replied with an unchanging expression.

"Looking for what?"

"Brother Yuan doesn't need to ask about that," Han Li replied indifferently.

As soon as the voice fell!

He flicked a finger, and a spell shot into the light array below. An ink-green beam of light immediately sprayed out from the mouth of the giant bottle, shooting straight into the heavens.

Seeing this, Yuan Yan's expression changed slightly, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't step forward to stop him, his expression naturally turning as gloomy as water.

Although the news of Han Li slaying an immortal hadn't reached the Demon Realm yet, the matter of him and Bao Hua exterminating the Mother of Myriad Insects together back then had long made him exceptionally wary of Han Li.

Plus, a place like Bitter Spirit Island originally had sparse demonic Qi and actually had a suppressing effect on the Demon Race, so Yuan Yan was even less willing to truly fight Han Li here.

Of course, the Crab Daoist standing to the side with a covetous gaze was another main reason he didn't dare to truly fall out.

So after some deliberation, he simply stood to the side, coldly watching Han Li's every move below.

"Eh, the coordinate position is indeed right there."

Han Li only closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before he immediately had a result. After flicking his large sleeve and putting away the bottle and formation flags, he and the Crab Daoist turned into two streaks of light and broke through the air.

Seeing this, Yuan Yan followed closely without hesitation.
