Chapter 856: Vortex

When Han Li heard this, he was also shocked. Three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces to deal with the Ancient Demon, and it seemed they couldn't take it down in a short time. This Ancient Demon, whose vitality had recovered, probably really had divine abilities equivalent to a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator.

"Was this demon destroyed in this battle?" Han Li asked calmly.

"This junior and others don't know about this. Some say that this demon died on the spot in the siege of the cultivators, and others say that it used an incredible secret technique and actually escaped from the encirclement. Our family's ability is limited, and we cannot judge the truth of this matter. However, it is true that this demon has vanished from Tiannan since that siege. Perhaps it really has been destroyed in body and soul." Huang Yuanming hesitated and said some speculative words.

"Destroyed in body and soul!" Han Li touched his chin, pondered for a moment, but didn't take it seriously in his heart.

If this demon had really been destroyed, Wei Wei Wuyan and others wouldn't have been so secretive, deliberately not coming forward to clarify this matter. However, the fact that this demon had vanished since this battle was indeed a bit strange. Could it be that this demon was too heavily injured in this battle and had to hide to heal its wounds, or had it simply left Tiannan?

Han Li thought about it and felt both were possible, but couldn't judge which situation was more likely, so he temporarily put this matter aside.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, besides the Fallen Demon Valley and the demon matter in the past twenty-plus years, have there been any other major events? No matter which country's affairs, you can tell me!" Han Li asked about other things calmly.

"There have indeed been other events in recent years, but compared to the Fallen Demon Valley matter, they are not worth mentioning at all. The only thing that attracted attention and was also full of rumors was that not long after the demon vanished, a strange large vortex suddenly appeared on a sea surface near the coast of Xi Kingdom in the Boundless Sea. A large amount of spiritual energy sprayed out from this vortex, actually purifying the nearby Boundless Sea area. And surrounding this vortex, seven small islands emerged from the seabed, each with top-tier spiritual veins that are rare to see. Regarding the ownership of these islands, the three Great Cultivators even joined forces to hold a Treasure-Seizing Assembly. Many sects participated in it. As a result, seven large cultivation sects obtained the ownership of these islands. And that vortex is said to be unfathomable, and many cultivators have dived into it to explore the truth. But as soon as they go deep into the vortex, huge pressure appears, and the deeper they go, the greater the pressure, making it unbearable. It is said that the Great Cultivator Brother Zhiyang also explored it once. But finally, after going deep for about three thousand zhang, he couldn't bear the pressure of over ten thousand jin and had to return without success." Huang Yuanming thought for a moment and immediately said the above words.

"Large vortex! There is such a thing?" Han Li showed a trace of surprise and asked in astonishment.

"This junior wouldn't dare to deceive Senior. This matter caused a sensation for several years before it gradually calmed down. Senior only needs to ask others, and you will know whether this matter is true or false." Huang Yuanming said with a smile.

Han Li nodded. He was quite interested in this matter, but continued to ask about other things, especially the actions of the Mulan people and the righteous and demonic sects in recent years, and he asked even more thoroughly.

Huang Yuanming and the three were also knowing everything and saying everything, without the slightest concealment. Most of the questions were answered by Huang Yuanming, and the other two old men occasionally added, making sure Han Li was satisfied.

Soon, Han Li had a general understanding of the major and minor events that had happened in recent years, and felt relieved in his heart.

Except for the Ancient Demon and the vortex matters, other so-called major events were nothing more than which place had spiritual medicines or treasures, or which two cultivation sects had feuds and fought. These things were of no importance to Han Li at all. But Han Li always listened to the three of them one by one with a calm expression.

As for the Falling Cloud Sect, Han Li didn't ask.

After all, this place was too far from Xi Kingdom, and small families like them couldn't know any specific things. If he really wanted to inquire about the Falling Cloud Sect, he would naturally go to the market or return to Xi Kingdom and ask carefully.

After listening to all the narrations of the three, Han Li showed a look of satisfaction, suddenly flickered his sleeves on the table, and a pair of golden short daggers appeared on the table.

"I have troubled the three Fellow Daoists to explain so many things to me. I don't have any good things. This pair of Gold-Breaking Daggers magic tools will be given to the three Fellow Daoists." Han Li said calmly.

"Thank you, Senior, for the gift. This... this is a top-tier magic tool?" Huang Yuanming glanced at the golden daggers, hurriedly bowed, and thanked them with great joy.

With the strength of their three families, it wasn't that they didn't have any top-tier magic tools. But the three families combined had only a few, all of which were regarded as treasures. And now, just by answering a few of Han Li's questions, they easily obtained such treasures, which was naturally a surprise.

"Although this pair of Gold-Breaking Daggers is only a top-tier magic tool, if used in coordination, it is not inferior to a peak-tier magic tool. I accidentally obtained it in the past and felt it was interesting, so I kept it until now. Now that I give it to you, it cannot be considered buried. Hehe! The benefits have already been given to you, and I won't stay long. Perhaps we will meet again if there is an opportunity in the future." Han Li explained the power of the daggers slightly, smiled lightly, and then spiritual light radiated from his whole body, suddenly turning into a cyan rainbow and flying out of the hall door, vanishing without a trace after a few flashes.

The three old men were stunned, not expecting Han Li to leave as soon as he said he would, without any delay. A bunch of words of thanks had to be swallowed back.

Then, the three men's gazes fell on the golden daggers on the table.

"This senior is really generous, actually giving away a pair of top-tier magic tools so easily." The round-faced old man stared at the golden daggers and muttered.

"It depends on who it is. Top-tier magic tools are rare and hard to obtain for us. But for this senior, they are not taken to heart at all." The white-robed old man who spoke the least suddenly said with a trace of strangeness.

"Brother Wang, what does this mean? Judging by your tone, it seems you recognized this senior!" Huang Yuanming moved in his heart and couldn't help but ask. The round-faced old man was also shocked and looked at the white-robed old man.

"Brother Huang, you are also clever for a lifetime but confused for a moment. This person came out and inquired about the Fallen Demon Valley and the demon matter, and he is so young yet has such a high cultivation base, and he calls himself Han. Don't you know who it is? Don't forget, when the two demons were besieged in the Fallen Demon Valley, besides the dead Nascent Soul cultivators, wasn't there a famous figure who went missing?" The white-robed old man said with a bitter smile.

"You mean that person, that Senior Han?" Huang Yuanming was reminded, his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed.

The round-faced old man also realized, equally shocked.

"Now the two brothers understand my meaning. This senior is an existence second only to the three Great Cultivators, which is why he is so generous."

"Hearing Brother Wang say this, there is indeed a seven or eight percent possibility. However, whether it is that Senior Han or not, it makes no difference to us. Even if we want to cling to him, such an existence as this senior wouldn't look at our families at all. This time, getting two top-tier magic tools is already an unexpected joy, and I estimate it was because this senior saw that we destroyed the spiritual spring water that he gave them. Now let's talk about how to handle this pair of daggers." After being silent for a while, Huang Yuanming sighed and said. In his words, there was still a trace of helplessness.

Although the opportunity was rare, for existences like Han Li, it was too high to reach. So although they felt regretful in their hearts, they didn't have anything to regret.

Hearing Huang Yuanming mention the daggers, the other two old men also put the question of Han Li's identity aside. After all, the ownership of the magic tools in front of them was the benefit they could touch and see. The three immediately started a long discussion about the ownership and use of the daggers.

Not mentioning the treasure-dividing discussion of the three family elders, Han Li naturally didn't know that he had been recognized by the three old guys, and he had already appeared more than a hundred miles away.

This time, he managed to escape from the space rift and didn't run to the Eastern Yu Kingdom immediately, which was a stroke of luck. After all, the weak point that broke the space was wandering around. It wouldn't be strange if it were ten million miles away.

"Boy, where are you going next? Returning directly to the Falling Cloud Sect? Don't forget, the materials I asked you to refine the puppet are still missing some. They must be collected." Great Expansion Divine Lord's voice suddenly sounded in Han Li's brain.

"I naturally know this. But the materials you want are all rare in the world. I estimate that even the entire Tiannan cannot collect them. This is not something that can be done in a short time!" Han Li frowned and said helplessly.

"Hmph! Do you think this old man can wait another seventy or eighty years? If you can't find materials in Tiannan, then go to Dajin. There, as long as you have enough spirit stones, what kind of rare materials can't you find? I'll tell you first, if you can't refine the puppet in front of this old man, this old man would rather destroy the refining method than leave it to you after my essence dissipates." Great Expansion Divine Lord said somewhat annoyedly.

"Don't worry. Dajin, even if you didn't say it, I would have to go. Didn't you say that the evil energy on me was too heavy, and after repeatedly using that Blood Demon Sword, I have been deeply entangled with evil energy. If I don't remove it early, it will not only cause damage to my body but also make it impossible for me to advance in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul." Han Li sighed and said depressedly.

"You know it. When I saw you for the first time, I felt a bit strange. How could you be contaminated with such deep evil energy at such a young age? This old man was not a soft-hearted person in the past, but the evil energy on me was not even one-tenth of yours. Tsk tsk, it's really incredible. Why don't you cultivate demonic techniques? This evil energy can help your cultivation base go further. Of course, when you reach the Spirit Transformation stage, what you ascend to is not the Spirit Realm, but the Ancient Demon Realm." Great Expansion Divine Lord was obviously fickle, and at this time, his voice laughed strangely, actually teasing Han Li.
