"Are you guys okay?" The giant green bird asked.
"We're fine. The Heavenly Demonic Cloud is too scary. Each wave of the Heavenly Demons is stronger than the last. We almost couldn't stop them. Luckily, you flew out in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have completely sunk in. The consequences would be unimaginable," Xiao Bai said with lingering fear.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Demonic Cloud be called the scariest existence in outer space?
In fact, this cloud is considered small. If I encountered a really big cloud, I wouldn't be able to fly out quickly, "the giant green bird said.
"I didn't expect outer space to be so dangerous … I think it's better to move around in the future. It's slow, but at least it's safe!
Oh right, master, how are you? "Xiao Bai murmured and turned to look at Han Li.
Han Li was sitting with his legs crossed. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were still closed. There was a faint evil aura around his body.
As if hearing Xiao Bai's question, Han Li opened his eyes. His eyes were flashing with a bloody light.
"Your eyes … Are they controlled by the Heavenly Demon?
You Heavenly Demon, hurry up and come out of my master's body! "Xiao Bai was shocked. He jumped up and shouted.
"I'm fine. I'm not controlled. I'm just a little affected," Han Li said.
Xiao Bai looked at Han Li hesitantly and showed a worried expression.
"Good boy, I thought that with your current state, you definitely wouldn't be able to break free from the Heavenly Demon's influence. I didn't expect you to be able to endure it.
But looking at you, the evil thoughts in your body must have erupted and you can't suppress it anymore, "the giant green bird said with a smile.
"Senior is wise. Looks like I didn't hide anything from you," Han Li said with a bitter smile.
Although the evil thoughts in his body didn't increase, they didn't weaken either. Moreover, the eruption of the evil thoughts was different from before. No matter how he used the Law of Time and the Primordial Isolation Chains, they were suppressed.
"The three corpses of a human are related to the root of the belief of the primordial spirit. It's extremely mysterious.
I don't know what method you used or what kind of opportunity you had to forcefully summon the Evil Corpse before your cultivation level is high enough.
However, he has already matured. Although you have used some methods to suppress him, it is inevitable that he will erupt due to the influence of the Heavenly Demonic Cloud.
You'd better find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it'll take over your body sooner or later, "the giant azure bird said.
Hearing this, Han Li's expression changed, but he did not say anything.
He had considered everything that Yue Mian had said. He also wanted to kill the Evil Corpse in his body. However, his cultivation level was not high enough. Secondly, he did not have much experience in killing corpses. He was not confident in doing so.
The giant green bird didn't say anything else and just continued on its way.
After flying for another half a day, the giant cyan bird suddenly descended and quickly passed through the Heavenly Wind Region and the Green Underworld Region, arriving near the ground.
Below them was a verdant mountain range. They had already arrived at the Savage Domain.
After flying for a while, a majestic mountain appeared in front of them. It was Ba Huang Mountain.
Han Li was secretly shocked by Yue Mian's speed. He had spent tens of years to fly from Ba Huang Mountain to the Great Goldenorigin Immortal Realm, but Yue Mian had returned in less than a day.
His eyes suddenly flashed, and he flew down from the back of the giant green bird. He stood in the void, and said to the giant green bird, "Let's go.
He stood in the air and said, "Senior Yue, thank you for bringing me back to the Savage Domain.
However, my identity is special. I'm afraid that people will hate me if I return to Ba Huang Mountain. "
Yue Mian stopped as soon as Han Li left his body. His body was surrounded by a dazzling green light, and he instantly reverted to his human form.
He glanced at Han Li and said calmly,
"Up to you."
"HAHA, Young Friend Han, you've come to my Ba Huang Mountain, but you don't come in and have a seat. Aren't you being too rude?" A voice suddenly appeared, and a white figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Bai Ze.
"Senior Bai Ze." Han Li hurriedly bowed.
Xiao Bai bowed as well.
"Little Friend Han's attack is indeed extraordinary, turning the Nine Yuan Temple upside down. Who do you think Li Yuanjiu is? He actually suffered such a huge loss. Delightful, truly delightful!" Bai Ze laughed.
"Of course. Master and I joined forces and killed our way into the Nine Yuan Temple. We even beat the crap out of two of the Four Holy Envoys of the Nine Yuan Temple," Xiao Bai said proudly.
"That was all the work of the Samsara Temple. I only participated because I happened to be there," Han Li said indifferently, ignoring Xiao Bai's boasting.
"It's not easy to get involved in the Nine Yuan Temple and come out unscathed.
Speaking of which, you were only at the peak of Primordial Unity when you left, but now you've reached the early-stage of the Grand Luo, and you're not far from the mid-stage. You're just a human, but you have such a cultivation speed. Even you and I weren't as fast back then. "Bai Ze said to Yue Mian with a smile.
"Senior, you flatter me." Han Li said calmly.
Bai Ze shook his head with a smile before turning to Han Li, and said, "You're still as humble as ever, Fellow Daoist Han. Opportunities are also a part of one's strength. I must thank you for taking care of Little Bai during our trip to the Nine Origin Temple and returning him safely."
"Xiao Bai is my friend. I should protect him. Moreover, Xiao Bai is powerful enough to protect himself. I didn't do anything.
As for returning to the Barbarian World safely, it's all thanks to Senior Yue Mian. "Han Li said with a smile.
"I won't say thank you. But since you've come to the Eight Desolate Mountain, why don't you go in and have a seat?" Bai Ze shook his head and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind invitation, Senior. However, I'm feeling unwell now and would like to find a place to cultivate. Please forgive me, Senior Bai Ze." Han Li said with a cupped fist.
Bai Ze examined Han Li from head to toe with a hint of astonishment in his eyes. He then said,
He then said, "Since Young Friend Han has something to do, I'll force you to stay here. Three hundred thousand miles east of here is the Emerald Clouds Mountain Range. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi there is dense and there are no barbarian tribes there. You can cultivate there."
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Bai Ze." Han Li was overjoyed and thanked Bai Ze.
"Master, I'll go with you.
King Bai Ze, since the Emerald Clouds Mountain Range is not far from here, can I go there to cultivate too? "Xiao Bai said with an anxious expression.
"No, I've already arranged for your cultivation. You must stay in the Eight Desolate Mountain Range." Bai Ze's face darkened.
"Alright." Xiao Bai didn't continue to pester him.
"Seniors, Little Bai, I'll be taking my leave now." Han Li cupped his fist in a salute toward the three of them before flying toward the east as a streak of golden light.
Bai Ze and the other two watched as Han Li left and descended towards the Eight Desolate Mountain Range.
Han Li flew east and arrived at the Emerald Clouds Mountain Range in a short while.
The rocks and ground here were emerald green and looked quite strange. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was just as Bai Ze had said, it was very dense and not as restless as other places. It was indeed the best place for him to cultivate in seclusion.
After taking a moment to compose himself, Han Li found a cliff and carved out a simple cave abode, then set up a restriction spell formation around it.
After that, he raised his hand and summoned a Space Gate. He turned around and flew into the Flower Branch Space.
The Weeping Soul Beast and the Golden Child seemed to have been waiting at the entrance. When they saw Han Li appear, they quickly came to greet him.
"Weeping Soul Beast, you know what happened to the Heavenly Demonic Cloud.
Try to help me now and see if you can suppress the evil thoughts, "Han Li said. He then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
The Weeping Soul Beast nodded and pressed its hand on the top of Han Li's head. Dark red light burst out of its body and covered Han Li's head, forming a light curtain.
After Han Li let out a muffled groan, the Immortal Apertures all over his body lit up and flickered. Black ominous aura surged out and surrounded his body as if it was solid.
As soon as the ominous aura touched the dark red light curtain around Han Li's body, it made a sizzling sound and disappeared.
Even so, the ominous aura surging out of Han Li's body did not decrease. Instead, it increased and seemed to be increasing.
Jin Tong had also clearly sensed that something was amiss with Han Li's body and tactfully refrained from saying anything. Instead, he merely stood by the side and looked at Han Li with an unblinking gaze, intending to stand guard for the two of them.
However, after three days and three nights, the ominous aura around Han Li's body did not weaken at all.
The Golden Child had an anxious expression on his face as his gaze swept back and forth between Han Li and the Weeping Soul Beast. There were many times when he was unable to restrain himself from speaking, but he restrained himself in the end.
He knew that Han Li was at a critical moment right now, and nothing could be allowed to happen to him. However, he was annoyed that he was unable to help Han Li at all even though he possessed great ability.
Uncle, you must be alright! The Golden Child prayed in his heart.
Suddenly, Han Li opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Weeping Soul, stop."
The Weeping Soul Beast withdrew its hand and hesitated for a moment before it said, "Master, the evil intent within you seems to be slightly different from before."
"You've noticed it as well." Han Li laughed bitterly. He did not explain in detail to the Weeping Soul Beast, and he raised his hand to stop the Golden Child who was about to speak.
Now that the evil intent was wrapped around his body, it seemed like it could not be eliminated. The only way was to cut off all means of retreat and kill it as soon as possible so that he could advance to the intermediate-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.
However, it was easier said than done to kill the evil intent.
He didn't have a master to guide him, and Ancestor Mi Luo didn't mention the matter of killing the evil intent during his lecture on the Dao because of time constraints. Looks like I can only rely on myself to figure it out.
Han Li pondered deeply for a moment, and then he quickly restrained his thoughts before he said to the Weeping Soul Beast and the Golden Child, "I'm going to enter closed door cultivation next.
I want to open up the remaining Immortal Apertures needed to advance to the intermediate-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm as soon as possible.
Both of you don't have to worry too much about me. Cultivate well.
Presently, besides this wilderness, even though the True Immortal Dimension is huge, there's no place for me to stay. If both of your strengths are able to improve slightly, then you'll be able to lend me a hand in the future. "
As he spoke, he opened up his Spirit Domain and enveloped an area of over 30m around him.
As Han Li utilized the Wheel of Truth and the Time Vortex Grand Formation, the flow of time in the surroundings instantly sped up by 10,000 times.
