Chapter 446: Space

When the woman heard Han Li's first two questions, the expression in her eyes didn't change, seemingly having expected it. But when she heard the last question, she was stunned, finally revealing a trace of panic, and said with a forced smile:

"Fellow Daoist, your words are truly interesting; what big trouble could I possibly cause? The reason I was so panicked at the beginning was just because..."

"Since Fellow Daoist Yuan doesn't intend to tell the truth, don't say anything more. I don't want to hear any insincere words!" Han Li didn't wait for her to finish, and said flatly with a wave of his hand.

"You..."

Seeing Han Li's unyielding attitude, Yuan Yao finally revealed annoyance.

She stomped her jade feet hard and left somewhat sulkily.

Looking at the woman's back, Han Li didn't reveal any unusual expression.

But then, he glanced at Fairy Zi Ling in the distance.

Only to see her talking to the young male cultivator with a calm expression. Seeing Han Li look over, she smiled lightly at him, then turned her face to whisper to the man again.

Seeing this, Han Li withdrew his gaze with a normal expression, but before he could ponder anything, a thick male voice came into his ears through sound transmission from Xuan Bone Elder.

"Your movements are too slow! This Elder thought you couldn't even pass a mere ghost mist. Could it be that you encountered a Ghost King?" Xuan Bone Elder's voice carried a trace of dissatisfaction and suspicion.

Hearing this, Han Li turned around to look at the ghost mist in the distance, and replied coldly and indifferently:

"I did encounter a fierce ghost on the way, but I dealt with it without spending much time. Instead, I later encountered a large group of Soul-Hooking Flying Spirits, which took quite a bit of effort to shake off."

"Soul-Hooking Flying Spirits?" Xuan Bone Elder's words revealed surprise.

"How is it? You practice ghost cultivation, could it be that you are also afraid of this thing?" Han Li asked without changing his expression, faintly carrying a trace of probing.

"How could this Elder be afraid of this thing? It's just that I am very curious, how did the three of you escape this disaster?" Xuan Bone Elder said, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial.

Han Li sneered in his heart, and replied lightly in the same way:

"I have nothing to say; it's just that I was a bit lucky and escaped this disaster by chance."

As soon as Han Li said this.

Needless to ask, Xuan Bone Elder also cursed "little fox" secretly, but after being silent for a moment, he had no choice but to continue asking through sound transmission:

"Fine! Since you are unwilling to speak, this Elder has no interest in pursuing what happened. When we teleport again, the two of us must act together. I will take you to grab that 'Nine-Curved Spiritual Ginseng' first. Then you must help me with all your strength and help me destroy Extreme Yin, that rebellious disciple."

"No problem! As long as you can truly hand the Nine-Curved Spiritual Ginseng to me, I will take the risk and make a move." Han Li answered decisively without the slightest hesitation.

It seemed that he had long made up his mind on this issue.

This clean and neat reply made Xuan Bone Elder very satisfied.

So he chuckled and didn't speak anymore.

However, what he didn't see was that Han Li, who had finished saying this, had a trace of sarcasm on the corners of his mouth, and his eyes, looking into the distance, flickered with cold light from time to time.

Suddenly, Han Li felt someone watching him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look casually.

As a result, he saw Extreme Yin Ancestor's fierce gaze and a trace of joy in his eyes.

Han Li turned his face back with an expressionless face, but his expression immediately turned into a bitter smile.

It seems that even if he didn't want to make a break with this Extreme Yin Ancestor, it wouldn't work. The other party was truly pestering him.

He really didn't know why he was targeted by this person.

However, Extreme Yin Ancestor seemed to have his own concerns; otherwise, he would have started controlling him in the hall, instead of enduring until now.

Han Li sat down on a patch of grass depressed, sitting cross-legged.

He had consumed quite a bit of magic power in the ghost mist, so he naturally had to recover to his best state early to deal with the right and wrong behind him.

That black-robed woman Yuan Yao stood far away at this time, still looking at Han Li somewhat unwillingly.

Her gaze contained both annoyance and a sense of loneliness.

Fairy Zi Ling, although smiling and talking with that young male cultivator, always glanced at Han Li once or twice intentionally or unintentionally, seemingly having other worries.

And Han Li ignored the actions of the two women, only closing his eyes and meditating.

Time passed quickly, and another whole day passed.

Just when many people were becoming impatient, a dazzling white light shone on a bare stone slab in the center surrounded by several jade pavilions, attracting the attention of the cultivators.

After having the experience at the beginning, these cultivators didn't reveal any surprised expressions.

Sure enough, after the white light, a teleportation array appeared on the flat ground, its shape and size exactly the same as the previous one.

This time, it was still those two white-clothed elders of the Star Palace who walked over unhurriedly, checked it slightly, and then the one with a kind face said slowly to everyone:

"This teleportation array is the only path to the next level, the 'Ice-Fire Path.' Everyone can still have some time before entering the second level to collect some spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits as a reward for passing the first level. If you feel the next level is too dangerous, you can also teleport back here and wait quietly. After a month, a teleportation array that teleports directly back to the hall will appear, and everyone can return on their own."

"However, whether you want to break through the second level or are satisfied with this, you only have a whole day to pick spiritual medicine. If you pass this time and still greedily stay inside without coming out, you will never be able to escape. As far as I know, those who have been trapped inside have never been seen again when the Heavenly Void Palace opens next time. As for the reason for their disappearance, no one knows to this day. So everyone should not harbor any fluke mentality and deliberately stay inside."

The white-clothed elder's voice was not loud, but it resounded through the whole field, making all the cultivators hear it clearly.

And among these people, those who knew about this were absent-minded, while those who didn't know revealed surprised expressions.

And as soon as the elder finished speaking, he and the other law-enforcement elder stepped onto the teleportation array and disappeared.

This time, the other cultivators didn't hesitate, rushing forward one after another.

After all, time was limited, and having more time to search for spiritual objects naturally meant a greater possibility of harvest.

Han Li, after a look from Xuan Bone Elder that he didn't notice, also mixed in with others and teleported away in a hurry.

However, at the moment of teleporting away, Han Li felt Extreme Yin Ancestor's fierce gaze again.

This made Han Li feel uneasy, but also ignited his anger. His expression turned incomparably cold the moment the white light rose!

After all, knowing that others had bad intentions toward him but having no way to deal with them. This feeling of powerlessness couldn't help but ignite a fierce streak in Han Li that had been forgotten for many years.

After the light converged, Han Li walked out of the teleportation array subconsciously, walked a few small steps, and then looked around.

The scene before his eyes made Han Li dumbfounded.

The blue sky, clusters of white clouds, the emerald green grassland as far as the eye could see, the vaguely visible mountain ranges in the distance, and the scent of flowers and grasses blowing from time to time.

This was not inside the Heavenly Void Palace at all, but clearly a beautiful environment on land!

Han Li stared for a long time, not speaking for a long time.

But at this time, Xuan Bone Elder also walked out of the teleportation array slowly. Seeing Han Li's shocked appearance, he couldn't help but say with a cold smile:

"How is it? Very surprised! When I first came to this place, my performance wasn't much better than yours. However, this is not any illusion, but a truly existing heaven and earth. Looking at the situation, it shouldn't be any place in the outside world. Because not only is the spiritual energy here sufficient, but there is also a fresh taste that cannot be described."

After saying these words, he took a deep breath and tasted it slowly.

"This should be a small space opened up by ancient cultivators with great divine abilities. But unfortunately, these great divine abilities that shocked the heavens and wept ghosts cannot be reproduced by any of us descendants." Xuan Bone Elder couldn't help but sigh, revealing a trace of yearning for the ancients in his eyes.

"Opening heaven and earth alone!" Hearing this, Han Li revealed a look of horror, somewhat unable to believe it.

Perhaps he saw what Han Li was thinking in his heart. Xuan Bone Elder said calmly again:

"What's so strange about this! The divine abilities of ancient cultivators were far from what we descendants can imagine, and even more incomparable. It's just that I don't know why these ancient cultivators all disappeared without a trace during a certain period! Since then, our cultivation world has begun to become so unbearable!"

Han Li didn't refute anything, but his eyes fell on a small path in front of him.

This path was covered with unknown wild grasses, appearing somewhat blurry, winding all the way to the distance where the end could not be seen.

To him, the astonishing divine abilities of ancient cultivators and the mystery of their disappearance had nothing to do with him now.

It was better to handle the things before his eyes first, and then care about any ancient cultivators!
