Chapter 1355

The mountain range that appeared in front of Han Li and the others was long and undulating. There were many towering peaks that pierced through the clouds. However, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the vicinity was not very rich, and there were not many demonic beasts and ferocious creatures.

There was not much to be desired in such a place, so naturally, cultivators would not set foot in it.

As soon as Daoist Huyan entered the mountain range, he became a lot more relaxed. Occasionally, he would recite a poem to himself, and at other times, he would introduce a few interesting sights in the mountain range to Han Li and the others.

Han Li did not pay much attention to this at first, but when he saw that Nangong Wan was listening to him with great interest, and would mention some of her discoveries from time to time, Daoist Huyan exclaimed in admiration.

Therefore, Han Li calmed down and carefully comprehended Daoist Huyan's current state of mind. He felt that it was a different feeling, and occasionally, he would mention some of his own opinions. Due to the different perspectives, it led to a round of discussion between Daoist Huyan and Nangong Wan.

The three of them talked and laughed along the way. Under Daoist Huyan's lead, they wandered around the mountain for half a day, and finally landed in front of a secluded mountain peak.

In fact, from a distance, Han Li could feel that this mountain peak was different from the others.

It was not that there was a clear difference between this peak and the surrounding peaks, but that there were some rather brilliant prohibitions set up on this peak. Even cultivators who were below the level of Taiyi might not be able to discover it, let alone barge in.

Daoist Huyan flipped his hand and took out a white token. With a gentle shake, a white light shot out and disappeared into the void in front of the col.

After a slight fluctuation in the void, a white crack appeared. It was white and misty inside, making it impossible to see what was inside.

"Please, the two of you."

As Daoist Huyan spoke, he led the two of them into the white crack.

Han Li felt that the scenery in front of him had changed greatly. What appeared before him was a quiet and unique little valley.

There were a few exquisite bamboo buildings of two or three stories built in the valley. On one side of the bamboo buildings was a large bamboo forest and a clear stream that was connected to a pond. It looked very quiet, and there were many celestial birds and spirit beasts resting by the stream in the forest.

On the other side, there were a few nurseries and some exotic flowers and plants. Two figures were busy growing them.

"Eh?"

Following a yelp of surprise, the two busying themselves in the nursery stood up and walked towards Han Li and the others.

One of them was Yun Ni, and the other was a slender and elegant young lady.

This girl was no stranger to Han Li. She was Bai Suyuan.

After so many years, Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan's cultivation had improved a lot. Yun Ni had reached the later stage of the Golden Celestial Stage, and Bai Suyuan had also reached the Golden Celestial Stage. Moreover, their auras were fluctuating mysteriously. It was obvious that their cultivation techniques were extraordinary.

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's Fellow Daoist Li. You've been looking forward to Huyan's return these past few years. Whenever he drinks, he talks about you." Yun Ni's face revealed a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, nice to meet you. It's been a while." Han Li returned the greeting.

"Senior Li, I haven't been able to repay you for bringing me to the Fire Dragon Path. Please accept my bow." Bai Suyuan's eyes flickered as she stepped forward and bowed.

"You're welcome, Miss Suyuan." Han Li smiled and raised his hand.

Bai Suyuan's body was supported by an invisible force, and she stood up involuntarily.

She was startled at first, but then she quickly glanced at Han Li, and smiled at Nangong Wan. Her bright eyes flickered as if she was wondering why this woman in front of her had such good luck to get close to Li Feiyu.

A trace of astonishment flashed in the depths of Yun Ni's eyes. Even an ordinary Primordial Unity cultivator couldn't lift a Golden Celestial so easily.

Han Li then introduced Nangong Wan to Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan. After exchanging greetings, they entered the second floor of one of the bamboo buildings.

The interior of the building was quite spacious. Although the layout was simple, it did not lack elegance. Through the window sill, they could have a panoramic view of the entire valley. It was filled with emerald green, which was very pleasing to the eye.

After they sat down, Han Li immediately asked Daoist Huyan and the others why they were living here.

"It's a long story.

My family was originally living in seclusion in a secluded place in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm. However, a large number of Rat Immortals suddenly attacked the Northern Frost Celestial Realm, causing chaos in the World of Immortal Cultivation. Our residence was also affected, so we had to flee.

Unfortunately, Fellow Daoist Feng Yi died due to some reasons. After some twists and turns, we finally came to the Black Soil Celestial Realm. "Daoist Huyan sighed, as if he was unwilling to talk about it.

Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan's expressions darkened when they heard this.

Han Li also sighed in his heart when he heard this.

Due to the upheaval in the Realm of True Immortals, quite a few Immortal Realms had been affected, causing the already bumpy path of cultivation to become even more rugged. Those who were weak would not have the ability to protect themselves and would die at any moment. Their tens of thousands of years of cultivation could be reduced to dust overnight.

As the official force of the World of True Immortals, the Heavenly Court was still preparing for the so-called Banquet of Bodhi. All the major Celestial Realms were also actively preparing for the event. It seemed that they did not pay much attention to what happened in the insignificant Small Celestial Realms.

Perhaps in the eyes of the almighty Golden Immortals and some Daofathers, the low level cultivators in the entire World of True Immortals were like ants, and their life and death were naturally insignificant.

Daoist Huyan continued, "After we came to the Black Soil Celestial Realm, we heard that the Illusory Smoke Swamp was once the ruins of the Truth Sect. After it was destroyed by the Heavenly Court a few thousand years ago, few people came here, so we decided to settle down nearby.

As you can see, the environment here isn't bad, right? "

"The winding paths lead to a secluded place, and the mountains are illuminated by the light of the lake. It can be considered to be a paradise."

Han Li nodded, and then he turned around to glance at Nangong Wan. The latter was looking at him as well, and her bright eyes concealed a trace of anticipation, but it only flashed for a moment.

Han Li sighed in his heart, and then he silently stretched out his hand and patted Nangong Wan's hand lightly.

He knew that even though Nangong Wan was able to ascend to the World of True Immortals from the Radiant Dimension after going through hardships, a large part of the reason was to be able to reunite with him.

Even though Nangong Wan didn't say it clearly, as someone who had been through it, he knew that Nangong Wan had hidden a trace of exhaustion deep in her heart.

Who would have thought that after going through bitter cultivation in the Mortal Dimension and Radiant Dimension, she would ascend to become a True Immortal, but it would only be the beginning of another path of cultivation?

Moreover, this path would be even more difficult and long.

It was so long that she couldn't even see the end of it …

However, this woman had always had a firm character, and she was able to see the big picture. She knew that with Han Li's current situation, there was no turning back, and it was even more impossible for her to accompany him for a long time.

During these days of traveling, Han Li could feel Nangong Wan's affection for him, and she cherished the time they spent together.

Every time he thought of this, an indescribable feeling of warmth surged in his heart.

Nangong Wan seemed to have also sensed the feelings in Han Li's eyes, and she slightly nodded at Han Li, and there was a certain firmness in her eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for only a breath's time, but it was better than a thousand words.

Daoist Huyan immediately asked about Han Li's experiences over the years. After the three of them came to the Black Earth Immortal Realm, they had been living in seclusion, and rarely went to the major cities, so they hadn't seen the news of the Heavenly Court chasing after Han Li.

Seeing that the three of them didn't know about him, Han Li didn't want to involve them, so he only said that he had been cultivating in the Black Mountain Immortal Realm, and didn't say anything else. He had come to the Illusory Smoke Swamp to explore the ruins of the Truth Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Huyan, you just said that the Heavenly Court had destroyed the ruins of the Truth Sect thousands of years ago. What exactly happened?" Han Li asked.

"Senior Li, after we came here, I specially inquired about this from the nearby sects. It is said that there were several groups of people at that time, and other than the Heavenly Court, there seemed to be other forces that had searched the ruins of the Truth Sect inside and out. They should be looking for something.

In the end, I don't know if they found it, but they destroyed this place along with the spirit vein. "Bai Suyuan, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said.

"It does seem like the actions of the Heavenly Court … These things are meaningless, so let's not talk about it.

Fellow Daoist Huyan, why has your cultivation declined so much? "Han Li changed the topic and asked about Daoist Huyan's cultivation.

Yun Ni's expression changed, but she didn't say anything.

Bai Suyuan, who was at the side, heard this and lowered her head.

"Actually, it's nothing.

All those years ago, when I'd just arrived at the Blackearth Celestial Domain, I just so happened to encounter an enemy of mine. That person's cultivation was on par with mine, and after a battle, I injured him. However, I was also injured in a vital part of my body, and that's why my cultivation dropped so much, "Daoist Huyan said with a smile, and he didn't seem to mind that his cultivation had dropped at all.

"I see."

Han Li only nodded slightly. He knew that Daoist Huyan's seemingly normal words definitely contained some secrets that he didn't want to reveal. However, since Daoist Huyan was unwilling to talk about it, he naturally didn't ask any further.

Daoist Huyan stood up and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this and get back to business.

Brat Li, I've gathered some spiritual materials from the Black Earth Immortal Realm over the years and brewed a few good wines. Let's have a taste together. "

Daoist Huyan stood up and said with a smile, "Huyan, things have changed with the passage of time. Things remain the same, but people have changed. Why do you still call Fellow Daoist Li by his old title?"

Yun Ni could sense Han Li's unfathomable cultivation. When she heard Daoist Huyan call him brat, a hint of uneasiness flashed through her eyes, and she hastily interrupted.

Daoist Huyan smiled and said, "It's just a title. If Brat Li couldn't even see through this, he wouldn't have achieved his current accomplishments in such a short time."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Huyan is right!

Everyone here today is an old friend. Let's just talk about the scenery and drink together. There's no need to care about cultivation or seniority. "Han Li also laughed heartily.

When Yun Ni heard this, although she was slightly surprised, she quickly felt relieved, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face.

Bai Suyuan's gaze moved back and forth between Daoist Huyan and Han Li a few times. Her expression unconsciously became relaxed, but when she looked at Han Li, her gaze was filled with even more respect.

Daoist Huyan immediately asked Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan to accompany Nangong Wan to tour the various parts of the valley, while he pulled Han Li to a short building in a remote corner of the valley.

This short building seemed to be the most inconspicuous among the few bamboo buildings, but once they entered, it was an indescribably dazzling sight.

There were all kinds of wine gourds, wine jars, wine bottles, and wine cups made of different materials placed everywhere in the building. It was much more plentiful than before.

When Daoist Huyan arrived, he seemed to have changed into a completely different person. He pulled Han Li around in a circle, and talked about the wine recipes he'd spent a lot of money to gather over the years, as well as where he'd gotten the wine vessels.

He could be said to be very familiar with these things, and he was even more excited than when his cultivation had increased by a large margin.

At this moment, Han Li finally felt that the Daoist Huyan from all those years ago, who 'stirred up the world with his sword, drank wine, and laughed in the world', had returned.
