Chapter 1328

Crane Ridge Mystic Domain.

The cave residence hidden in the nameless mountain range had been sealed for hundreds of years.

In a side room of the cave residence, Violet Spirit, dressed in a purple dress, was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, regulating her breathing.

She had been stabilizing the peak of the Primordial Unity realm for many years, but she was stuck at a bottleneck and could not advance any further.

At this moment, she, who was sitting with her eyes closed, was suddenly disturbed. She lifted her eyelids and woke up.

She looked to the other side of the room, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Then, there was a rumbling sound of rocks rubbing against each other. The door of the secret room opposite her opened, and a tall figure walked out with his head slightly lowered, smiling gently at her.

Violet Spirit stood up from the stone bed and looked at Han Li from head to toe. She could not help but be slightly shocked, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

"It's only been a few hundred years, but your aura …" she could not help but say after a while.

"I just came out of seclusion, and the fluctuation of my aura is still a little unstable. It will stabilize in a few days," Han Li said with a smile.

"I'm talking about your realm," Violet Spirit said with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"It's the peak of the Grand Luo. You don't have to worry. I'm not eager for quick success or using any method to hasten things through excessive enthusiasm. It's just that my cultivation method is a little special. This realm is achieved through real cultivation, not a pavilion." Han Li walked forward, held her hand, and gently pressed it.

"That's good." Violet Spirit nodded.

After saying that, her expression became a little gloomy. Han Li's cultivation had advanced to such a level, it meant that he was very likely to return to the Nether Realm soon.

Han Li saw that her expression was strange. Just as he was about to ask her about it, he suddenly frowned and his expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Violet Spirit asked hurriedly.

Han Li shook his head gently, and with a twist of his wrist, a black mask of the Samsara Temple appeared in his palm.

He put on the mask without saying a word, and raised his hand to touch the forehead of the mask.

Runes immediately lit up on the entire mask, and a dim light shone between his eyebrows, casting a shadow in front of him. The dark light condensed into the figure of a slender man.

He wore a black robe and a bamboo hat. His aura was extremely restrained. He was none other than the Samsara Temple Master.

As soon as Han Li saw the Samsara Temple Master, he knew something must have happened. He immediately asked,

"What happened?"

"Rushuang … was captured by the Heavenly Court." The Samsara Temple Master hesitated for a moment before answering.

"What did you say?

What happened to Wan 'er? "Hearing this, Han Li's expression immediately changed under the mask as he asked.

Zi Ling's expression involuntarily changed upon hearing this.

Han Li did not choose to hide what had happened in the Samsara Temple. Instead, he found an opportunity to tell her everything, so she already knew the identity of the Samsara Temple Master. She also knew that Gan Rushuang was Nangong Wan.

"Not long after you left the Nether Realm, Rushuang woke up. Although she already had two memories, she did not choose to be my wife. Instead, she insisted on being Nangong Wan," said the Samsara Temple Master.

Hearing this, Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he could not help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. He said angrily,

"Why was she captured by the Heavenly Court? Weren't you confident that you could fight against the Heavenly Court? How could you let anything happen to her?"

"After choosing you, she had planned to look for you immediately. It was only because she was worried that she would become a burden to you that she did not leave immediately. I was also worried, so I did not let her go.

Later, the Samsara Temple completely lost track of you, and even the mask could not contact you.

Not long ago, she was worried about your safety, so she secretly left the Nether Realm to look for you while I was in seclusion. As a result, the Heavenly Court took advantage of the situation and captured her, "said the Samsara Temple Master.

"Have you found out where she is?" Hearing this, Han Li's eyes narrowed, and he asked with a heavy sigh.

"No, the Heavenly Court did this secretly, so it was not easy to find her.

However, not long after she was captured, Gu Huo Jin sent me a message, asking me to go to the Central Land Celestial Realm in person. As long as I agreed, they promised not to touch a single hair on her. When I arrived at the Central Land Celestial Realm, they would immediately release her, "said the Samsara Temple Master.

Hearing this, Han Li fell silent.

He knew that the Heavenly Court deeply hated the Samsara Temple Master, and they had been fighting each other for countless years. Once the Samsara Temple Master fell into the hands of the Heavenly Court, the consequences would be obvious.

"I have already promised Gu Huo Jin that I will not continue to hide. I will go to the Central Land Celestial Realm as promised," said the Samsara Temple Master.

"When do you leave?" asked Han Li.

"We still need to make some preparations, otherwise, not only will we not be able to save her, but all our previous efforts will also go to waste," said the Samsara Temple Master.

"I will go with you," said Han Li immediately without hesitation.

Hearing this, the Samsara Temple Master hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's fine. When you leave with Rushuang, I will feel more at ease."

"I want to take Nangong Wan with me.

Before that, I have something to do. When I'm done, I will go to the Underworld to meet you, "said Han Li.

"Okay, I will wait for you," said the Samsara Temple Master.

"Don't trust the Heavenly Court's words completely. It's better if we can find Wan 'er's exact location. You need to put in more effort," said Han Li.

"I will inform you when I have news," said the Samsara Temple Master.

After the two finished their discussion, the light on Han Li's Samsara Hall mask dimmed, and the projection of light disappeared.

Violet Spirit looked at Han Li with a complicated expression.

Han Li opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but Violet Spirit said, "Go ahead and save her."

"Let's go back," said Han Li.

"Where?" asked Violet Spirit, puzzled.

"The Northern Frost Celestial Realm," replied Han Li, narrowing his eyes.

…

On the other side, in a great hall in the Nether Realm.

The Samsara Temple Master, who had just ended his conversation with Han Li, slowly walked down from the platform in the middle of the hall.

Meanwhile, a figure walked in hastily from outside the hall. He wore a large black robe, and his arms, neck, and face were covered in thick bandages. Moreover, there were even numerous golden talisman markings drawn on the bandages, causing him to seem extremely strange.

"Temple Master, I have just received news from my divination that Venerable Huanglu from the Qitian Celestial Realm will arrive at the Dunyang Continent in a few days," reported the black-robed man in a hoarse voice.

"The Qitian Celestial Realm is only a medium-sized Celestial Realm. It doesn't have a Teleportation Formation that connects it to the Central Mainland Celestial Realm. He is going to the Dunyang Celestial Realm because there is a Teleportation Formation there that leads directly to the Central Mainland Celestial Realm.

Send a message to Feng Hui and Wu Jiang to kill him in the Dunyang Continent. Kill all his followers, "said the Samsara Temple Master.

"Understood." The black-robed man cupped his fists and turned to leave.

"Yuan Chunfeng, how long have you been with me?" asked the Samsara Temple Master suddenly.

The black-robed man stopped and turned around. After a moment of thought, he answered, "It's been too long. I can't remember. It should be a few million years …"

"Use the Heavenly Divination and tell me what my chances of winning are if I go to the Heavenly Court in advance?" asked the Samsara Temple Master calmly.

"Temple Master, do you really want to divine it?

In my current condition, I won't be killed by the Heavenly Wrath once I use the Heavenly Divination, but I will be no different from a cripple in the future.

Moreover, if it concerns the Time Dao Ancestor, the Heavenly Divination … may not be able to divine it, "said Yuan Chunfeng calmly.

"If that's the case, then there's no need for that.

I still need you to help me predict the path of the Grand Luo Realm Cultivators heading to the Bodhi Banquet. Otherwise, it will be like searching for a needle in a haystack, "said the Samsara Temple Master.

Yuan Chunfeng did not say anything else. He cupped his fists and bowed.

"Your Heaven Mending Sect bet on both sides of the Samsara Temple and the Heavenly Court. It's a trick," said the Samsara Temple Master suddenly with a smile.

"You must be joking, Temple Master. We have no other choice. You and the Time Dao Ancestor are both at the top of the Realm of True Immortals. The battle between you has long gone beyond the battle of the Great Path. Even the Heavenly Dao has been disturbed by you and the Heavenly Mysteries have been disrupted. We, the Heaven Mending Sect, cannot predict the outcome. So this is the only way," said Yuan Chunfeng.

"Ancestor Chen Tuan chose to bet on the ancient or the modern side. As his founding disciple, you bet on us. Speaking of which, you still think the Heavenly Court has a higher chance of winning.

However, this is good for you. You may not win by a landslide, but you won't lose everything either. At least, no matter which side wins, you can preserve the legacy of your sect. "said the Samsara Temple Master.

"Once the Heavenly Court wins, I will perish along with the Samsara Temple. I hope you won't let me lose," said Yuan Chunfeng slowly, his eyes peeking through the gaps of his bandages.

The Samsara Temple Master did not say anything. He only nodded, indicating that Yuan Chunfeng could leave.

The latter slowly walked out of the hall. Only the Samsara Temple Master was left in the empty hall. His figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

…

Time flew by. More than two years had passed.

In the Northern Frost Celestial Realm, outside a border city on the edge of the Ancient Cloud Continent, a conveyance light descended from the sky.

In the light, a tall man in a green robe and a beautiful woman in a purple dress appeared at the same time. They were Han Li and Violet Spirit, who had just returned from the Crane Ridge Celestial Realm.

The two of them landed beside a dilapidated stone pavilion outside the city. Their bodies were enveloped in a layer of faint golden light, isolating them from the grey mist that pervaded the surrounding space.

Han Li gazed into the distance and glanced at the city that was wrapped in a layer of Boundary Light Curtain. A trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

He said, "When I first left the Black Wind Sea Area, I stayed in this city for a short while on my way to the Fire Dragon Path. Compared to what I remember, this place has changed a lot."

"Now that the Dust World has invaded, not only the Northern Frost Celestial Realm, but also the neighboring Celestial Realms. The world has changed a lot," said Violet Spirit.

"Most of the Northern Frost Celestial Realm has been transformed by the Dust World. The original Immortal Realm cultivators had to retreat to their cities and struggle at death's door. I think it won't be long before these places are completely conquered." Han Li sighed.

"There's nothing we can do. Not only did the Heavenly Court not send reinforcements, but they also forcibly suppressed the matter. Not many people in the Immortal Realm know about this, so the news can't spread. Naturally, it won't attract too much attention.

Fortunately, the Dust World is sensible enough to temporarily stop expanding. Otherwise, the Heavenly Court may not be able to suppress them, "said Violet Spirit.

"I'm afraid this is the tacit understanding between the Heavenly Court and the Dust World. One does not expand too much, the other does not suppress them immediately," said Han Li with a cold smile.

"Why?" asked Violet Spirit.
