Chapter 869: Boundless Demonic Qi

Han Li was now known to everyone in the Tiannan cultivation world, and these cultivators were all filled with awe after their shock.

"If it is Senior Han, naturally there is no need to report. Senior Brother Zhiyang had long since ordered that the Senior could be released as soon as you arrived. The junior will lead the Senior to Spirit Turtle Island now." The palace-dressed woman said respectfully, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

Han Li nodded, his expression expressionless as he didn't say anything else. The palace-dressed woman gave instructions to the disciples behind her and led Han Li to fly away toward the distance.

The black dot in the distance gradually grew larger; it was indeed a small island with a small area, about twenty or thirty square kilometers.

"Senior Han, this is Spirit Phoenix Island occupied by our Hehuan Sect; Spirit Turtle Island where the Taizhen Sect is located is at another location nearby." The woman seemed to know that this was Han Li's first time here and explained carefully.

Han Li glanced in the direction the woman mentioned; perhaps because the distance was too far, he didn't discover the other island for a while. But in another direction, the massive spiritual source had an even clearer and more astonishing spiritual energy fluctuation. With such strong spiritual energy, it was definitely the location of the whirlpool that spat out massive amounts of spiritual energy.

Han Li pondered this, following the palace-dressed woman and continuing to fly toward the distance.

It was an hour later when he saw the so-called Spirit Turtle Island.

This island was slightly larger than the Spirit Phoenix Island occupied by the Hehuan Sect, and looking at it from above, its outline really resembled a spirit turtle.

Before approaching the island, the palace-dressed woman had already sent out a sound transmission talisman, so when Han Li and the two flew to the edge of the island, a white light came to welcome them from the island.

"Is it Brother Brother Zhiyang? I am ashamed that you came to welcome me personally, Brother Brother Zhiyang!" Seeing this familiar flying light, Han Li stopped immediately and transmitted his voice from afar.

"Hehe, Brother Han is a man of his word. Naturally, I should welcome you from afar." Seeing Han Li, Venerable Brother Zhiyang seemed very happy and transmitted his voice clearly.

Then the white light flew to within ten zhang of Han Li, the light faded, and the Daoist's figure was revealed.

Han Li smiled slightly and cupped his fists at the other party.

"The Fellow Daoist, come with me to the cave dwelling for a gathering; I have already notified Fellow Daoist Wei Wei Wuyuan. As for that old monster Hehuan, he has urgent business and cannot come here." Venerable Brother Zhiyang instructed the palace-dressed woman to go back first, then turned to Han Li and said with a smile.

"Very well, I will follow your words, Brother." Han Li didn't object, and the two immediately flew toward the island.

On the way, Han Li scanned the whole island with his spiritual sense, but his eyebrows frowned inadvertently.

There was indeed an excellent small spiritual vein on the island, about ten miles in size. There were not many cultivators on the island, but everyone had an extremely high cultivation base; on the contrary, there were no low-tier disciples Han Li had expected to appear on the sea island, which made Han Li somewhat confused!

Without much time, Han Li entered a newly opened cave dwelling under the guidance of the Daoist.

This cave dwelling was set in an inconspicuous stone mountain, but it was massive and tidy.

After Han Li followed Venerable Brother Zhiyang to a hall, they sat down, and two Daoist boys served spirit tea. After Han Li tasted a cup of tea, he began to chat softly with Venerable Brother Zhiyang.

This old Daoist, one of the Three Great Cultivators, didn't seem to want to mention the reason for inviting Han Li here, instead unhurriedly introducing Han Li to the situation in the nearby sea area and the situation of the sects occupying the Seven Spirit Islands. He appeared somewhat detached.

It seemed that before Wei Wei Wuyuan arrived, he didn't intend to reveal a hint of news to Han Li.

Han Li was somewhat displeased, but on the surface, he pretended not to know, chatting casually with Venerable Brother Zhiyang.

But only after the time it took to eat a meal, Wei Wei Wuyuan also arrived outside the cave dwelling, and under the Daoist's welcome, his figure also appeared in the hall.

After meeting Han Li, naturally, there was another round of polite greetings. From the surface, Wei Wei Wuyuan's skin was crystalline and his complexion ruddy, appearing to have recovered from the great loss of vitality in the Fallen Devil Valley battle, looking full of vitality.

This made Han Li secretly marvel.

As far as he knew, Wei Great Cultivator's true essence was not just a little bit depleted in the last Fallen Devil Valley battle. To have recovered his vitality in such a short time, it seemed he had taken quite a few spirit pills.

Wei Wei Wuyuan was also clean and neat, asking as soon as he sat down:

"Brother Brother Zhiyang, have you told Fellow Daoist Han about the situation?"

"Naturally not. It is better to say these things when two of us are present. Since Brother Wei has come, why don't you tell Fellow Daoist Han about this matter, Brother Wei? I will supplement it on the side." Venerable Brother Zhiyang said with his usual expression.

"Very well, I will say it! This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Otherwise, the legacy will be no small matter!" Wei Wei Wuyuan agreed without hesitation after a little thought.

"Legacy no small matter?" Han Li heard this term and his interest was piqued. It seemed this matter was truly no small matter.

"Fellow Daoist Han, Wei will keep it short. Speaking of which, this matter is still related to that ancient demon." Wei Wei Wuyuan opened his mouth and shocked Han Li.

"Didn't that ancient demon flee with heavy injuries?" Han Li said in a daze.

"That is true. But Fellow Daoist, don't you think the timing of the whirlpool's appearance is too coincidental? It was almost just after the ancient demon was driven away by us that this strange phenomenon appeared in the Boundless Sea. And we also discovered some definitive evidence near the whirlpool. Fellow Daoist Han should know that during the last period when the ancient demon was being surrounded and suppressed, it slaughtered many cultivation families and small sects everywhere. We three later discovered that these families and sects were all forces that possessed magic tools or were rumored to possibly possess magic tools, and three of these magic tools were indeed taken away by the ancient demon. And in a hidden place near this great whirlpool, we discovered the remains of one of the missing magic tools. It seemed to have been destroyed directly by bearing massive power. Therefore, we suspect that the ancient demon first ran to the Boundless Sea here to do something, and only then was it trapped by our demon-extermination group in other places and escaped Tiannan after being beaten into heavy injuries." Wei Wei Wuyuan said solemnly.

"Is there something wrong with this whirlpool that appeared? Otherwise, even if the ancient demon did something, the three Fellow Daoists wouldn't be so solemn." Han Li pondered and probed.

"Fellow Daoist Han asked the right question. If this whirlpool only spat out spiritual energy and floated seven small islands, we three wouldn't care about this matter. The key problem is that we discovered that this so-called great whirlpool is actually the location of the eye of a massive sealing array from unknown years ago. And these seven spirit islands are only a part of this array. Fellow Daoist should know the severity of this, right?" Venerable Brother Zhiyang smiled bitterly.

"Sealing array. What is it sealing that requires such a massive array?" Han Li finally changed his expression, somewhat shocked. Although he didn't know how massive this array was. But just by looking at the massive distance between the seven islands, he could imagine the array's massive size.

"This is also what we want to know. But I have no clue at all. But the sealed object must be related to the ancient Demon Realm and the ancient demon. This matter needs to be explained by Brother Brother Zhiyang. After all, it was Brother Brother Zhiyang who first dived to the bottom of the whirlpool that day and saw the situation there." Wei Wei Wuyuan said slowly.

"What is there for me to say? Didn't you two see it later? The bottom of this massive whirlpool is actually filled with unfathomable, pitch-black demonic qi, and its depth is impossible to investigate at all, relying on the ten-thousand-zhang pure spiritual energy in the whirlpool to suppress it, so it didn't rush out of the array. But if it erupts, it will definitely be a great catastrophe for our Tiannan, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy of the entire Tiannan will change immediately. I even suspect that the Boundless Sea was in such a terrifying state before, and it might be related to this demonic qi on the seabed!" The Daoist said calmly.

"But the situation here now, Fellow Daoist Han has also seen. The eye of the sealing array has been damaged, and the spiritual energy in the great whirlpool is leaking out bit by bit; one day it will really be unable to suppress the demonic qi below. By then, once the demonic qi comes out, at least a small half of Tiannan will be deeply affected and will no longer be suitable for our cultivators to cultivate. And Brother Han's Falling Cloud Sect, being close to the Boundless Sea, will definitely suffer greatly." Wei Wei Wuyuan said helplessly.

When Han Li heard this, he was already speechless in his heart.

"Since the three Fellow Daoists have called Han Mou here now, you should have a method to lift this catastrophe, right! Otherwise, if the three of you have no method, Han Mou will be even more at a loss." Han Li raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

The eruption of demonic qi would definitely make their Falling Cloud Sect suffer, but the Demon Sect and the Righteous Path Alliance would definitely not be much better off. Only the Nine Nations Alliance was too far away, and on the surface, it could stay out of it. But if a small half of Tiannan's spiritual energy was lost, how could the Nine Nations Alliance really sit back and relax? The sects that had lost their cultivation lands would definitely restart the war to seize cultivation resources.

Therefore, Han Li was calm at this time.

"After we three discovered this great disaster, we immediately collected information everywhere, wanting to lift this catastrophe. As a result, we really found information related to this sealing array. Speaking of which, it is truly incredible. This matter actually has to be related to the Great Jin cultivation world." When Wei Wei Wuyuan said this, he glanced at Venerable Brother Zhiyang, a strange look appearing on his face.

"Great Jin?" Han Li was stunned this time.

"Does the Fellow Daoist know where these classics were found?" It was Venerable Brother Zhiyang who smiled bitterly, saying somewhat helplessly.

"The Venerable means, could it be..." Han Li guessed something and similarly showed a look of surprise.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Han guessed it. Information related to this ancient sealing array was actually found in a secret classic of our sect that had been shelved for unknown years. By the way, it also clarified the origin of our Taizhen Sect. Our sect was actually a branch of the 'Zhenji Sect', one of the three great Daoist sects of the Great Jin cultivation world, in ancient times. And the reason why we moved to this Tiannan in the first place was actually to guard this ancient sealing array." The Daoist revealed a look of being unable to laugh or cry.
