Chapter 1340

"… When I learned that you were captured by Feng Qingshui, I rushed to the Dragon Pool Celestial Realm and fought with the two Dao Ancestors, Feng Qingshui and Chen Ruyan. With the blessings of the heavens, you were able to return safely," Han Li said.

"I've imagined what you would encounter after you ascended countless times, but now it seems that it's not even a fraction of what you actually faced.

Ordinary people would have died countless times under such circumstances. Only you were able to escape death time and time again, "Nangong Wan said with admiration as she looked at Han Li's reflection in her eyes.

"Don't praise me because we're family. It's only because of various coincidences and a bit of luck that I was able to reach this point safely." Han Li shook his head with a smile.

"You also had the help of many powerful lovers, right?

I heard from Gan Jiuzhen that Weeping Soul and Golden Boy have already transformed into two great beauties, and your soulmate, Violet Spirit, "Nangong Wan said with a hint of a smile on her face.

"Wan 'er, don't joke around. You know the Weeping Soul Beast. It's a companion that has accompanied me through life and death ever since we were in the Human World.

Speaking of Golden Boy, he was originally the human form of my Golden Devouring Immortal. In fact, even I didn't expect that his life would be so bizarre … As for Violet Spirit, she had some entanglement with me in my previous life … "Han Li explained to Nangong Wan with a wry smile.

He looked a little embarrassed when he mentioned Violet Spirit. Just as he was about to say something, Nangong Wan's fair fingers stopped him from speaking.

"Husband, now that things have come to this, why would I be jealous over such a trivial matter?

This is all fate. It's all destined by the heavens, just like me and you in the past. "Nangong Wan shook her head and said softly.

Han Li nodded in response before changing the subject, and asked, "Wan'er, don't just talk about me. How have you been living in the lower realms during these past few years?"

"My life in the lower realm was relatively simple and far less exciting than yours.

Ever since you ascended, I have been cultivating in seclusion in the Clear Sky Palace. With the resources you left behind and some fortuitous encounters, I finally successfully advanced to the Great Ascension Stage.

After that, I cultivated arduously for several thousand years and reached the pinnacle of the Grand Ascension Stage. After making some preparations, I attempted to transcend my heavenly tribulation, and I wanted to come to the True Immortal Realm to reunite with you, my husband. "

"What happened when you transcended the Heavenly Tribulation?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I thought I could survive the Heavenly Tribulation with my preparations, but unfortunately, I underestimated the power of the Heavenly Tribulation of Ascension … After enduring several Heavenly Tribulations, I ran out of energy and was struck by the final Heavenly Tribulation, falling into endless darkness … At the last moment, I shouted to the heavens, hoping that my husband would hear my last words," Nangong Wan said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Han Li's heart trembled even though he knew what happened to Nangong Wan later on. He could not help but touch her cheek.

"I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect to wake up in a dark world. My magic power had been transformed into Immortal Spiritual Power, and the people around me were all Genuine Immortals who were more powerful than Ma Liang." Nangong Wan said as she put her hand on the large palm that was caressing her cheek.

"A dark world?

Is it the Nether Realm? "Han Li's eyes flashed.

"Yes, it was the Samsara Temple Master who saved me. However, he quickly sealed my memory, and I fell into a deep sleep after that. I only woke up not long ago." Nangong Wan nodded her head slightly and continued.

"It must have been hard on you all these years when I wasn't by your side and let you face all this alone.

But why did you leave the Samsara Temple? "Han Li asked as he held Nangong Wan's hand.

"The Samsara Temple Master was polite and respectful to me. He even forbade his subordinates from stopping me from doing anything or restricting me from going anywhere. But my instincts told me to stay away from him. Moreover, I really wanted to see you, so I sneaked out of that place.

Now that I think about it, I've caused you trouble. "Nangong Wan lowered her head slightly and said in self-reproach.

"Why would I cause trouble?

Actually, I was worried about you staying in the Samsara Temple. It was just an expedient measure under the circumstances.

If you hadn't run away, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see each other now. "Han Li smiled.

A smile appeared on Nangong Wan's face upon hearing this, and she held onto Han Li's hand with both hands.

"Speaking of which, how are the Human Clan in the Spiritual Realm?

Is everyone in the Qing Yuan Palace doing well? "Han Li asked.

"With the foundation you left behind, the Human Clan is doing very well, and everyone in the Qing Yuan Palace is also cultivating very smoothly. When I was transcending my tribulation, Qi Lingzi and Hai Yuetian had already reached the pinnacle of the Body Integration Stage and were only a step away from the Grand Ascension Stage. Bai Guo 'er's aptitude is slightly better, and she has already progressed to the Grand Ascension Stage. Fellow Daoist Ice Phoenix and Sister Silvermoon reached the Grand Ascension Stage earlier than me, but they're still not confident in their ability to transcend their tribulation, so they're still accumulating their strength," Nangong Wan said softly.

As Nangong Wan recounted these names, memories of the past flashed through Han Li's mind. He was overjoyed, but at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.

The past was still vivid in his mind, but they were separated by heaven and earth, and he might not be able to see them again in this lifetime.

The path of cultivation was always lonely, and it was fortunate that he had someone to share his feelings with, so that was enough.

"By the way, how is Yuan Yao doing?" Han Li asked after a brief hesitation.

"Sister Yuan Yao..." Nangong Wan's expression darkened slightly, and she hesitated to say something.

"What happened to her?" Han Li's heart jolted slightly, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"Sister Yuan Yao has also successfully progressed to the Grand Ascension Stage. She inherited Senior Qing Yuanzi's legacy, and she had a fortuitous encounter that allowed her to progress extremely quickly, allowing her to transcend her tribulation earlier than I did. It's a pity that she was unable to transcend her tribulation in the end..."

Han Li's body stiffened on the spot, and the image of Yuan Yao's smiling face appeared in his mind, causing his vision to blur.

Even though he had slain two corpses in quick succession, he was still struck by an indescribable sense of grief upon hearing about the death of an old friend.

"Don't be too sad, Husband. Prior to transcending her tribulation, Sister Yuan Yao and I had a long conversation for an entire night. She told me that she had already lived a spectacular life, and she had no regrets regardless of whether she transcended her tribulation or not," Nangong Wan continued.

"Wan 'er, don't worry, I'll be fine.

I've seen too many matters of life and death over the years, but I still can't help but grieve over the death of an old friend, "Han Li said with a forced smile.

"According to the Samsara Temple Master, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Plate can control the reincarnation of tens of thousands of living beings. If there's a chance in the future, we might be able to use this treasure to find the reincarnation of Sister Yuan Yao," Nangong Wan said after a moment of hesitation.

"Yuan Yao died in the Heavenly Tribulation and perished under the Heavenly Dao, and it's unknown whether her soul can be preserved. Even if we find her reincarnation, she'll already be someone else. Are we going to forcefully awaken her memories like the Samsara Temple Master did?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to erasing the Yuan Yao of this life? "Han Li said while shaking his head.

Nangong Wan had experienced this firsthand, so she didn't say anything else.

"If there's a chance in the future and we can return to the Spiritual Realm, take me to her grave to pay my respects." Han Li put his arm around Nangong Wan's shoulder and sighed.

Now that he had advanced to the peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm, he could increasingly feel the gap between the realms. With his current strength, the violent turbulence of the Qi of Heaven and Earth caused by rashly entering the Spiritual Realm might directly cause the realm to collapse.

In the Realm of True Immortals, only Genuine Immortals and other low-level Immortals could enter the lower realms.

Nangong Wan nodded.

"Speaking of opportunities, I didn't expect you to have obtained such a magical treasure like the Sky Bottle in the Mortal Realm. No wonder you cultivated so quickly in the Mortal Realm and the Spiritual Realm. It's just that you hid it so well that even I didn't know about it." She rolled her beautiful eyes and glared at Han Li coquettishly before changing the topic.

"This matter is too important. If it was accidentally leaked, it would attract countless killing intents. That's why I didn't tell you about it back then. Please don't blame me, Wan 'er." Han Li smiled.

"Now that things have come to this, how can I blame you for such a small matter? Moreover, you did the right thing. The existence of this item is too shocking. The more people who know about it, the more dangerous it is.

Now that the Heavenly Court knows that you have this treasure, they might send people to snatch it. Is it okay? "Nangong Wan asked worriedly.

"It's okay. The Heavenly Court is currently at war with the Samsara Hall. They can't even take care of themselves. Moreover, my strength is already quite strong. As I said before, apart from three people in the entire Realm of True Immortals, I think I can handle the rest. It won't be a problem to protect the Sky Bottle," Han Li said confidently.

"Since you said that, I naturally believe you. However, my cultivation is still weak now, so I'm afraid I can't help you much.

Speaking of which, the Three Thousand Great Dao is really full of strange things. There's actually something like traveling through time. "Nangong Wan let out a long sigh.

"If you're interested, I can give it a try with you." Han Li shook the Sky Bottle in his hand and said with a smile.

"No, every time you use the Sky Bottle, you'll have to exhaust all the power of the Dao Pattern in your body. It's too dangerous." Nangong Wan immediately shook her head.

Han Li smiled. Now that his cultivation had advanced to the peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm, he could communicate with the Heavenly Way and use the Sky Bottle to travel through time. The price he had to pay was not as high as before.

While he was happy that Nangong Wan was so considerate for him, he also felt warm in his heart.

"Alright, we'll talk about this later," Han Li said.

"Husband, what do you plan to do next?" Nangong Wan asked.

"Previously, my mind was filled with rescuing you. I haven't thought about the future properly. However, the battle between Feng Qingshui, Chen Ruyan, and me in the Dragon Pool Celestial Domain caused quite a commotion. I'm afraid it's already attracted the attention of some people. It's better for me to leave this place first," Han Li said after thinking for a while.

Nangong Wan naturally did not object to this.
