Chapter 782

At this moment, countless questions welled up in Han Li's mind, but he didn't ask any of them in the end. After calming himself down, he was even more perplexed as to why Shi Chuankong was telling him this.

"According to my speculation, my father must've sensed something after I refined the Luo Zha Pipa with my family's mystic technique, and that's why he was able to use his spatial abilities to bring us back," Shi Chuankong explained after a brief hesitation from Han Li.

"I see..."

Han Li nodded in response, and just as he was about to say something, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

He flicked his wrist through the air, and a silver gate of light that was around 10 feet tall appeared beside him, following which he strode into the gate.

A hint of confusion flashed through Shi Chuankong's eyes, and he followed Daoist Xie into the gate of light one after another.

After passing through the gate of light, everyone entered the Heavenly Abode Bamboo Pavilion.

Han Li immediately caught sight of the Weeping Soul Beast lying on the ground within the pavilion, and he hurriedly picked her up in his arms.

He then began to inspect her body with his spiritual sense.

Moments later, Han Li produced a golden pill before stuffing it into the Weeping Soul Beast's mouth to assist her in swallowing it.

After swallowing the pill, the Weeping Soul Beast was still unconscious, and there seemed to be no changes to it at all.

"Brother Li, what's going on with her?" Shi Chuankong asked in a hesitant voice.

Han Li's brows were tightly furrowed as he shook his head, and said, "Her injuries aren't severe, and her soul isn't too damaged, either. She shouldn't have fallen unconscious. I don't know why..."

"In that case, why don't you check her dantian to see if there's anything amiss?" Shi Chuankong suggested.

Han Li immediately came to a realization upon hearing this, and he hurriedly began to inspect her body.

"Hmm? I can't sense any essential power in her dantian; that's very strange," Han Li mused.

"In that case, that's most likely where the problem lies," Shi Chuankong said after a brief moment of contemplation.

Han Li's heart stirred slightly as he carefully recalled what had happened prior to their teleportation.

He had a feeling that the Weeping Soul Beast's current condition had something to do with the disk that had suddenly appeared earlier. However, he wasn't sure if it was affected by that disk or not.

"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Shi. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find the cause," Han Li said.

"I'm just too concerned that I'm in a state of confusion. It's just that Brother Li, do you know how to deal with this situation?" Shi Chuankong asked.

"I've never encountered such a situation before. So, I don't know what to do. Brother Shi, do you have any good ideas?" Han Li smiled bitterly and said.

Shi Chuankong shook his head and said, "I don't know how to save him, but if Fellow Daoist Li returns to the Holy Sun City with me, perhaps the high priest of our clan will have a way."

After hearing this, Han Li didn't reply immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

"Regardless of whether Brother Li is willing or not, allow me to ask you one more thing. What do you plan to do after this?" Shi Chuankong asked another question when he saw this.

"I thought I'd returned to the Immortal Dimension, but I didn't expect to be here. I have to think about what I should do next." Han Li sighed lightly and said.

"To tell you the truth, this is a desolate place in the south of our Holy Region, and it's called the Ten Calamities Mountain Range.

The reason it got such a nickname is because there are ten ferocious beasts that are comparable to Golden Heavenly Realm cultivators residing in this mountain range, and they've been causing trouble for a long time.

Brother Li, even if you want to think about your future, you should move to another place, "Shi Chuankong said frankly.

"Ten Golden Heavenly Realm ferocious beasts!

That's indeed troublesome. To tell you the truth, I'm also at a loss right now. In Fellow Daoist Shi's opinion, what should we do next? "Han Li was shocked when he heard this, and he pondered for a moment before asking.

"The ferocious beasts here are extremely xenophobic. Ordinary ferocious beasts are fine, but if the leader of the Ten Calamities discovers our existence, we'll really be in danger.

It's better for us to head north and leave this place as soon as possible.

There's a majestic city at the northernmost part of the Ten Calamities Mountain Range, and it's an important pass to resist the ferocious beasts' invasion. There are Golden Heavenly Realm cultivators guarding the city, and we'll be safe as long as we reach there.

At that time, we'll be able to rush to the Holy Capital Yang City through the city governor's mansion or the branch of the Vast Origin House, "Shi Chuankong said.

Han Li thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

"Since Fellow Daoist Li has agreed, let's set off quickly. Although the ferocious beasts have temporarily retreated, there's no telling when they'll come back, and this place can't be considered safe," Shi Chuankong said impatiently with a happy expression on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, please wait for a moment. Before we set off, I have something to ask you," Han Li suddenly called out to Shi Chuankong.

"Please speak, Fellow Daoist Li," Shi Chuankong's eyes flickered slightly as he said.

"Thank you for protecting me when I was breaking through the realm previously, but I'm a little puzzled. Why did Fellow Daoist Shi go through so much trouble to help me?

If Fellow Daoist Shi has something to say, just say it, "Han Li looked at Shi Chuankong and said.

After spending some time with Shi Chuankong, he had a rough idea of Shi Chuankong's temperament and style of doing things. Shi Chuankong must have something to ask of him.

"Haha, I really can't hide anything from Fellow Daoist Li. I do have something to ask of you. The Shihuan Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, and I'm not confident that I can leave safely with my meager strength. Fellow Daoist Li is powerful, so I hope that you can take care of me along the way," Shi Chuankong said shyly.

"Of course, since this place is dangerous, we should naturally help each other," Han Li nodded and said.

Now that he had advanced to the Taiyi Realm, his strength had greatly improved. With the Law of Time and the many treasures he had, he was confident that he could protect himself even in the face of a Grand Heavenly Immortal. It was not a big deal for him to bring Shi Chuankong along, and if necessary, he could just keep him in the branch space.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li. The headquarters of the Vast Origin House happens to be in Yang Ye City, and there is a spatial gate that connects to the various Immortal Realms in the True Immortal Realm. Once we arrive at Yang Ye City, I will immediately arrange for you to return to the Black Earth Immortal Realm," Shi Chuankong said happily.

"There's no rush to return to the Black Earth Immortal Realm. When we arrive at the headquarters of the Vast Origin House, I have another thing that I need your help with, Fellow Daoist Shi." Han Li touched his nose and said with a glint in his eyes.

The Demonic Realm was rich in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and it was far away from the Heavenly Court's sphere of influence, making it suitable for him to cultivate.

Therefore, he was not too anxious to return to the True Immortal Realm.

"Oh, what is it?

Is it the matter that Fellow Daoist Li mentioned in the Dust World? "Shi Chuankong was startled, and he immediately thought of something.

"That's right. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Shi to use the intelligence of the Vast Origin House to help me find an ascended cultivator. This is her appearance." Han Li waved his hand and took out a blue jade token and handed it over.

The image of a purple-robed woman appeared on the jade token. Her features were picturesque, and she was extremely beautiful.

"Could this be Fellow Daoist Li's lover?

She's truly an outstanding beauty. "Shi Chuankong's eyes lit up as he received the jade token.

"Her name is Violet Spirit, and she's a holy race cultivator from a lower realm. She might have already ascended, or she might not have. I would like to trouble Fellow Daoist Shi to help me look for her," Han Li said in a noncommittal manner.

"That'll be much easier if she's a holy race cultivator from a lower realm. Holy race cultivators from a lower realm all ascend to the Holy Realm, and the Ascension Platform in the Holy Realm has always been under my Third Brother's control. The two of us have a close relationship, so it won't be difficult to investigate her. As long as she ascends, we'll definitely be able to find her," Shi Chuankong said with a confident smile.

"Then I'll be counting on you, Fellow Daoist Shi." Han Li was relieved to hear this.

"You're being too polite, Fellow Daoist Li. I've already promised you this back in the Dust World, and now I'm asking you to escort me out of the Shiwei Mountain Range. I should be the one asking you for help," Shi Chuankong said with a smile.

The two of them didn't waste any more time and quickly left the branch space before carefully heading north.

… …

At this moment, there was a huge mountain range tens of thousands of li away from Han Li and Shi Chuankong. Perhaps it was because of the special ores contained in the mountain range, but most of the mountain walls were golden in color.

At the center of the mountain range, there was a towering mountain. The mountain was completely golden in color without a single flaw. It was extremely eye-catching and could be clearly seen from hundreds of li away.

On top of the mountain was a huge palace. The palace was tall, exquisite, and magnificent. Everything inside the palace was golden in color and was enveloped in a bright golden light.

The palace was shining with golden light everywhere. It was majestic and spectacular, but it also gave off a vulgar feeling.

The Shiwei Mountain Range was vast. The Shiwei Mountain Range was ruled over by the Shiwei Kings, and they had gathered countless powerful demonic creatures under their command. They were so powerful that even the demon race outside could do nothing to them.

This was the cave residence of one of the Shiwei Kings, the Golden Rhino King.

The guards and attendants inside the palace were also wearing golden armor or clothes.

Two golden-armored guards stood on both sides of the main gate of the outermost hall. Both of them were wearing thick golden armor, and only half of their faces were exposed.

"This Qian Golden Armor is really heavy. It's so heavy that it's hard to breathe. But if I don't wear this armor, I'll immediately be injured by the crystal golden light. It's really hard to stand guard in this Jinfeng Mountain Range," the guard on the left moved his body and couldn't help but complain.

"Brother Ba, you've just arrived here. So, you'll naturally feel a little uncomfortable. You'll get used to it after a while. Although it's hard to work here, the pay is far better than other places," the other guard said.

"Of course. If it weren't for the pay, I wouldn't be willing to come here.

But, the Golden Rhino King's preferences are really strange. He actually likes this kind of environment … "The guard surnamed Ba said with his mouth curled.

"Silence!" the other guard immediately interrupted him with a voice transmission.

"What's wrong?" the guard surnamed Ba asked in a startled manner.

"The Golden Rhino King hates it the most when people talk about his preferences. Last time, the King's new concubine accidentally said something like you. She was immediately tortured by the sunlight. She was tied to the scorching sun pillar at the back of the mountain and roasted alive. You must remember not to say such things again!" the other guard solemnly warned.

"Thank you for your advice, Brother." The guard surnamed Ba was startled when he heard this. He hastily expressed his gratitude and looked around.
