Chapter 2461

At an altitude of several thousand zhang, hundreds of "Righteous and Evil" cultivators were also fighting desperately in two waves.

One side had rolling murderous aura, with countless ghost shadows appearing, while the other side set up several small formations, with various magic tools and treasures, and the roaring sounds of lightning and fire shook the sky.

Among these cultivators, the highest realm was only two Golden Core cultivators, and the others were mostly around the Foundation Establishment cultivation.

"It seems the changes in Dajin are indeed related to the intervention of these sect forces. However, no matter which side has the last laugh, the Dajin Imperial Clan will likely have to change its surname again," on a white cloud higher up, Han Li looked at the battle below and sighed with emotion.

Everything he experienced in Dajin back then was still as vivid as if it were yesterday, but in reality, after several thousand years, not to mention the old people from back then, I'm afraid even the familiar sects from the past had likely disappeared quite a few.

The fighting means of the so-called "Righteous and Evil cultivators" below were naturally not worth a look for the current Han Li.

He only lingered in the vicinity for a moment before pinching a spell with one hand and disappearing from the white cloud silently.

In a forbidden area in the southern border of Dajin that had been set with heavy restrictions, teams of cultivators wearing sect uniforms of various colors were patrolling regularly at the foot of a pitch-black giant mountain towering into the clouds.

The entire forbidden area had already been set with extremely fierce no-fly restrictions. Apart from those top-tier Nascent Soul ancestors in the Human Realm, these guards didn't worry about anyone entering the giant mountain directly from the air.

Although this giant mountain had caused extremely fierce movements back then and even caused quite a few high-tier cultivators to fall, it had been sealed and guarded by several great sects together. But today, several thousand years later, some treasures that still existed inside had long been excavated, and there would be no high-tier existences with designs on this mountain.

Hence, although these sect cultivators seemed to be guarding very strictly, they were all absent-minded, looking as if they were all just going through the motions.

Under such circumstances, a faint shadow ignored the heavy restrictions and teams of guards, flashing and submerging into the black mountain.

Half an hour later, in the high sky a hundred zhang from the top of the giant mountain, Han Li appeared in a flash, raising his head to sweep his gaze over the giant mountain below.

With his massive divine sense power, although this mountain still had many existing restrictions, it couldn't stop him at all, and he instantly viewed every corner of the giant mountain.

Upon seeing some familiar places that were similar but not quite the same, a hint of complexity appeared on Han Li's face.

"Since Kunwu Mountain is no longer what it used to be, there is no need to stay in this place. I will send you back to nothingness."

After Han Li muttered, his figure swayed, and he turned into a cyan rainbow, shooting into the sky.

After a moment, the top of the giant mountain fluctuated violently, and a cyan giant hand a thousand zhang long appeared out of thin air, slapping fiercely toward the giant mountain below.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise echoed in the high sky. Immediately, countless restriction light glows were stimulated, and circles of intense spatial fluctuations rippled out.

The entire giant mountain disappeared out of thin air in a blur.

Only a bottomless giant pit was left in the original place.

This scene was naturally seen clearly by all the patrolling sect cultivators nearby, leaving everyone stunned, doubting whether they were in a dream.

Not long after, some Nascent Soul old monsters alarmed by this matter also hurriedly rushed over.

But after probing, apart from discovering traces of spatial power still existing nearby, they were also unable to find any trace of Kunwu Mountain's whereabouts, and could only leave dejectedly, filled with suspicion.

Later, this matter became one of the ten incredible legends of Dajin, and matters related to Kunwu Mountain were once again discussed by countless cultivators.

But with the passage of time, related rumors gradually decreased, and after another ten thousand years, one could only see a few scattered words related to Kunwu Mountain in some classics.

The giant island where the Holy Land of the Chaotic Star Sea, Heavenly Star City, was located was bustling and lively today, with countless ships of all sizes approaching the island like ants.

The number of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators appearing in the city was countless, and occasionally one could see the carriages of one or two Nascent Soul ancestors passing through the sky above the city, shooting directly toward the Star Palace at the very top.

Today was the thousandth birthday of the Star Palace Master, 'Ancestor Ling.' All sizes of forces in the Star Sea had begun preparing their respective grand gifts more than ten years ago, in hopes of pleasing this Ancestor Ling so that their forces could continue to be safe under the protection of the Star Palace.

By noon, in the Star Palace's main hall, dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators gathered, all looking with respect at a young woman in white palace attire sitting in the main seat.

This woman had a face like white jade and was exceptionally charming, but her beautiful eyes carried a hint of crystal light, and wherever her gaze swept, the Nascent Soul ancestors present lowered their heads one after another to show respect.

As the only early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea, plus her status as the Star Palace Master, this "Palace Master Ling" indeed had the qualifications to look down upon the group of cultivators.

"The time is about right, let the ceremony begin," after some maid-like female cultivators sent spirit fruits and tea to each Nascent Soul cultivator, this "Palace Master Ling" said indifferently.

Someone below naturally agreed immediately and was about to order it down immediately.

But just then, a faint man's voice came from outside the hall.

"Hehe, it seems Han has arrived just in time. With an old friend coming from afar, I imagine Palace Master Ling won't even give a cup of water wine, right?" As soon as the voice fell, a figure flickered outside the hall gate, and a man in a cyan robe with an ordinary face walked in with a hint of a smile.

And under the divine sense sweep of the Nascent Soul cultivators present, they actually couldn't discover any spiritual power fluctuations on this person, as if he were just a mortal.

"You are..., impossible, how could you still be in this realm?" The originally indifferent 'Palace Master Ling' revealed a hint of shock upon hearing the man's voice, and after the cyan-robed person walked directly into the hall and she saw his face clearly, she stood up in great shock, her voice even trembling slightly.

"Nothing, just some matters entangled me, so I had to come down for a trip. It's just that I haven't seen you for many years, and you have actually advanced to the Spirit Transformation realm; it is truly a matter for celebration," the cyan-robed man was naturally Han Li. He smiled slightly and said to Ling Yuling.

"Everyone, leave; I want to gather with this old friend alone," Ling Yuling's face changed several times before she suddenly ordered with a cold voice.

Although those Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall were all confused and couldn't figure out Han Li's background at all, they didn't dare to disobey after hearing this, and could only leave one after another.

In the blink of an eye, only Han Li and Ling Yuling were left in the entire hall.

"Brother Han, are you truly from the Spirit Realm?" After everyone left, Ling Yuling immediately cast a spell to stimulate a certain restriction in the hall, isolating everything inside from the outside world, before walking down from her seat and asking with joy and surprise.

"I did indeed come down from the lower realm, but this matter is a long story; we can talk about it slowly. Having been away from the Human Realm for many years, I also have some matters I need to ask you, the Star Palace Master, about," Han Li smiled and said unhurriedly.

"Brother Han, rest assured. Although I haven't gone out much in the Chaotic Star Sea in recent years, I know the matters in other places of the Human Realm just as well. If you have matters, just ask," Ling Yuling finally recovered from the shock, saying with a complex expression.

"If that's the case, that's naturally the best. I searched all the way down this time, and apart from you, I haven't seen any of the old acquaintances from the past. The matters I want to know aren't too many; most are related to the people from the past," Han Li also revealed a hint of emotion.

So, in the time that followed, this Star Palace Master and Han Li stayed in the hall for half a day.

When the restriction shrouding the hall let out a muffled sound and dissipated on its own, a dazzling cyan rainbow shot out from within, from which a leisurely voice came.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, I hope we can have a day to meet again in the Spirit Realm."

Following this, the escape light flashed, and the cyan rainbow disappeared from the void completely.

In the hall, Ling Yuling was still sitting on her seat, but she was holding a jade slip, her face vaguely carrying a hint of extreme excitement.

At the same time, Han Li was already ten thousand miles away from Heavenly Star City, silently pondering some matters Ling Yuling had told him in the cyan light.

The island that he and Nangong Wan had left in the Chaotic Star Sea back then had long ago become the base of a not-small force in the Star Sea, and the leader was actually several descendants of his disciple Tian Qin'er, who also had cultivation at the late Golden Core or early Nascent Soul stage, which could be considered as being in the generation of his grand-disciples, and one of them was among those Nascent Soul cultivators who had come to congratulate Ling Yuling.

It was just that Han Li, knowing that these nominal "grand-disciples" had developed exceptionally smoothly under Ling Yuling's deliberate care and had no problems, didn't have the urge to meet them again.

As for Tian Qin'er herself, she had long ago, over two thousand years ago, turned into ashes due to failing to cross the tribulation while trying to break through to the Spirit Transformation realm. Fortunately, she had made some arrangements beforehand, so her divine soul shouldn't have been completely destroyed, and she should still have a glimmer of opportunity for reincarnation.

As for Shi Jian, the other disciple who inherited the position of the Thousand Bamboo Sect Master in the Far West, he had died together with a strong enemy while in the Nascent Soul stage, but his sect had taken in several disciples with good aptitude, and not only was the Great Expansion Divine Lord's orthodoxy inherited back then not cut off, but it had actually flourished even more in recent years.

As for Yellow Maple Valley and Falling Cloud Sect, these two sects that had a great connection with Han Li, after several thousand years, had completely different situations.

Yellow Maple Valley, which had been on the verge of collapse back then, had turned its luck around in these few thousand years, actually taking in several 'genius disciples' one after another, most of whom had cultivated into Nascent Soul cultivators, causing Yellow Maple Valley to rise abruptly. Not only was its momentum far beyond before, but it had also become a not-small major sect in Tiannan.

Falling Cloud Sect, although it had a massive foundation laid by Han Li, after he ascended, the few Nascent Soul elders behind had all fallen one after another due to the lack of genius disciples, and after no Nascent Soul elders appeared for over a thousand years, it had actually become a third-rate sect in the Yunmeng Mountain Range, long ago squeezed out of the ranks of the three great sects.

Even the old major sects like the Ancient Sword Sect and Hundred Crafts Academy from back then had mostly been replaced by some newly appeared sects.

When Han Li heard this news, although he knew Ling Yuling wouldn't have any deception in this regard, he was stunned for a long time, and in the end, could only smile bitterly.

(Hehe, Mortal is about to end soon, everyone had better be mentally prepared!)
