In a flash, seven days and seven nights had passed.
Han Li sat cross-legged on the rocky beach and waited. During this time, he noticed that regardless of day or night, the sky was always shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
During the day, there were three suns hanging in the sky. At night, there were six moons arranged in a straight line. Moreover, no matter what time it was, the six moons were always full and never waxed or waned.
However, no matter what, the dark clouds in the sky never dissipated, so he could not try to condense the green liquid with the small bottle.
Sometimes, there would be muffled thunderous sounds in the depths of the dark clouds at night, one after another, making him think that there were some hidden monsters. He was on guard, but nothing happened.
In the morning, a thick fog rose from the ground, causing the surrounding aura to become even thicker.
As Han Li closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, he suddenly heard a cough. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Shi Chuang Kong had woken up.
He supported his body and sat up. He first raised his eyes to look at Han Li. Then, he unhurriedly checked his storage device. His eyes were full of doubt as he asked without any rhyme or reason, "Why?"
"Why did I save you?
Or why didn't I kill you? "Han Li asked expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Shi Chuang Kong rubbed his eyebrows heavily. His memory gradually recovered and he said, "When I just arrived here, I was attacked by an unknown monster. Did you save me?"
"It shouldn't be a monster, or it shouldn't be a normal monster. It should be a creature unique to this area." Han Li said noncommittally.
"What is this place?" Shi Chuang Kong looked around and asked.
"If I didn't guess wrong, we were swallowed by the spatial whirlpool in the Truth Sect's ruins and came to the Dust World." Han Li said calmly.
Although he had some guesses and obtained some clues from Magic Light, he was not completely sure that this place was the so-called Dust World.
However, after observing the situation for a period of time, combined with his understanding of the Dust World, it was enough for him to make a judgment.
"What?
Did you say that we arrived at the Dust World? "Shi Chuang Kong asked in disbelief.
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly examined the surrounding situation. The expression on his face changed again and again, and only calmed down after a long time.
"I never imagined that I would be able to reach the Dust World like this … …" Shi Chuang Kong bitterly smiled.
"Previously, you were corroded by the Evil Qi in this place. I used a Spirit Cleansing Pill to remove a part of it. Now, it seems that there should be some remaining poison left. Now that you have woken up, you should have a way to deal with it." Han Li said slowly.
"Spirit Severing Pill … Why are you willing to take it out to save me?
In my opinion, letting that monster kill me or you kill me and snatch my treasure is more worthwhile … "Shi Chuankong looked at Han Li and asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're no ordinary devilish being, and you have a very close relationship with the Vast Origin House, right?" Han Li asked.
"You saved me because of my identity?
Fellow Li, you don't look like such a person, do you? "Shi Chuankong was taken aback for a moment before he sneered.
"No matter what you think, you owe me your life now.
When we return to the Immortal World, I want you to use all of the Vast Origin House's resources to help me search for a person.
That shouldn't be too difficult for you, right? "Han Li asked with a serious expression.
Shi Chuankong stared closely at Han Li's eyes. Seeing that Han Li's expression was calm and did not seem to be fake, he was a little uncertain.
"Is that really the only reason you're doing this?" He asked in disbelief.
"It's useless to talk about it now. You'll know when we return to the Immortal Domain.
The Vast Origin House is a business, and I believe that you value integrity more than me, right? "Han Li raised his brows as he looked at Shi Chuankong.
"I can promise you to help me find that person, and I can even promise to help you if you have any difficulties in the future." Shi Chuankong finally believed Han Li's words and nodded.
"What are your conditions?" Han Li raised his brows and asked.
"I don't have any conditions. Otherwise, my life would be too worthless." Shi Chuankong's lips curled up into a smile as he spoke.
"Rest for a few more days and recover from your injuries. After that, we'll have to leave this place. We'll find out where we are first, then think of a way to return to the Immortal World," Han Li said before closing his eyes.
Shi Chuankong didn't say anything further. He looked deeply into Han Li's eyes and shook his head. He was still unable to see through Han Li, so he flipped his hand and took out a pill. After swallowing it, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Just like that, a few more days passed. The two of them found a direction and drove the Jasper Flying Carriage together, leaving the rocky beach and heading into the distance.
After flying for a few days, their surroundings were still monotonous black and white, and the terrain down below hadn't changed much.
Han Li stood at the front of the flying carriage and looked at the scenery flying by on both sides with a light in his eyes.
Although the color of the place was monotonous, it wasn't really desolate. There were a lot of plants, insects, small beasts, and even small strange beasts living on the ground.
These strange beasts didn't seem to be affected by the environment full of evil aura. This was similar to the relationship between the creatures of the Immortal World and the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"It seems that this place is really the Dust World. This is going to be a bit troublesome," Shi Chuankong frowned and said worriedly.
"Fellow Shi, what do you mean?" Han Li looked at Shi Chuankong and asked.
"Although I haven't been to the Dust World before, I've heard that many forces in this world are hostile towards you Immortal World cultivators and us demons. Once our identities are discovered, the trouble won't be small," Shi Chuankong said seriously.
"I've also heard a little about this.
If that's the case, it's better to do some concealment. "Han Li pondered for a moment, then he made a hand seal and stomped on the flying carriage.
A black light surged out from his body and quickly enveloped the entire flying carriage.
Han Li began to chant something as he made a series of hand seals.
Black threads of light shot out and wrapped around the flying carriage. From time to time, black runes would fly out and fuse into the flying carriage.
The emerald green flying carriage quickly turned greyish-black. The green light on its surface also turned black and emitted waves of evil aura.
"I didn't expect Fellow Li to have such attainments in smithing. You've made a huge change to this flying carriage in an instant," Shi Chuankong praised.
Han Li looked at Shi Chuankong and said, "It's just a little disguise. It's easy to change the flying carriage, but it's harder for us to change our aura."
At this moment, he was surrounded by evil aura. Especially with Magic Light around, it was easy for him to disguise as a Rat Immortal. The key was whether Shi Chuankong could do it.
"Fellow Li, you don't have to worry about me. I have my ways," Shi Chuankong said with a faint smile.
Han Li nodded and didn't say anything else. He controlled the flying carriage to move forward.
Shi Chuankong lowered his head and muttered to himself. After a while, he waved his hand. A white light flashed in his palm and a thumb-sized white bead appeared.
He made a hand seal and pointed at the white bead.
The bead immediately emitted a white light. Then, a white whirlpool appeared inside the bead and rotated quickly.
The evil aura in the surrounding air immediately surged and gathered towards the bead. The white whirlpool inside the bead quickly turned grey, and the light it emitted also turned grey.
Han Li looked at this scene with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He glanced at the bead and quickly shifted his gaze away. He continued to concentrate on controlling the flying carriage.
After flying for another half a day, the terrain below finally began to change. The ground became flat, and there were large patches of wheat seedling-like plants that were taller than a person. The color was dark gray, and it looked very much like a grassland.
The wind blew across the grassland, and the grey plants swayed in the wind like rolling waves. It was quite a spectacular sight.
After flying for a while, Han Li's eyebrows suddenly moved. He made a hand seal and the flying carriage immediately stopped.
He looked to the left, and Shi Chuankong also looked in that direction.
About five hundred kilometers away, there was a long procession of people. At the forefront of the procession were a dozen or so large carriages. These carriages were being pulled by a number of giant rhinoceros-like beasts.
Near the carriages were a series of tall figures. There were at least three to four thousand of them.
These figures had the lower bodies of humans, but their heads were lizard heads. Their skin was also covered in grey scales.
At the very back of the procession was a group of grey elk strange beasts. They had coral-like antlers on their heads and were faintly crystalline. There were over ten thousand of them, and they were being driven slowly forward.
This procession looked very much like the nomads that migrated along the grassland.
These lizardmen were clearly intelligent creatures. Their auras were also quite powerful. There was even one that had reached the Grand Ascension Stage.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong looked at each other with a hint of elation in their eyes.
They could finally figure out what was going on here.
Han Li flipped his hand and kept the flying carriage. The surface of his body flickered with grey light, and a large amount of grey fog gushed out of his body. In the blink of an eye, his aura changed drastically. He exuded surging killing intent, and his eyes also turned misty grey.
When Shi Chuankong saw that Han Li had changed into a different person in an instant, and his aura was almost exactly the same as that of the Rat Immortals that appeared in the ruins of the Truth Sect, he was secretly shocked.
However, he also flipped his hand and took out the bead, opened his mouth, and swallowed it.
Immediately, a grey gas also gushed out of his body. His whole body also changed drastically. He exuded a cold feeling, and his eyes also turned grey.
Although Shi Chuankong's transformation was not as perfect as Han Li's, he could still imitate 60% to 70% of it.
Both of them completed their respective transformations. Just as they were about to fly over, a loud rumble suddenly came from the front.
"It seems that our luck is not bad." Han Li raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
Before his voice died away, his figure shot out and disappeared in a flash.
Shi Chuankong's eyes also lit up slightly. Then, he turned into a grey light and followed closely behind Han Li, tearing through the air.
At this moment, the lizardmen procession was suddenly in chaos. The cause of the chaos was seven strange grey birds that flew from the depths of the grassland.
These birds were more than ten feet long. They looked like giant bats without a single feather. Their heads were shaped like a dragon's head, and their mouths were crisscrossed with canine teeth that flashed with a cold light. Their lower limbs had a pair of black claws that were several feet long. They looked like black sharp swords, and it was frightening to look at.
The strange grey birds' faces were full of excitement. They let out strange cawing sounds, stretched out their claws, and flew toward the herd of deer at the back of the procession.
