Chapter 1767 – Invitation and Spirit Emperor Competition
”How dare junior have such thoughts. How crucial is it for seniors to impact the bottleneck of mergence, it is naturally appropriate to be cautious.” The young woman said with a sweet smile.
”When the old man broke through the bottleneck, he also found a remote place, which is similar to what you, Fellow Daoist Han, had in mind.” The green-robed old man also smiled.
Hearing this, Han Li naturally returned a smile.
Next, the three of them stopped talking about this matter and casually chatted about some other things to come.
Han Li’s rich experience of wandering through two continents on his own back then, the wealth of experience could be imagined.
As for the old man and the young woman, one was the head of the True Spirit Family, and the other was a cultivator who had progressed to a merged body for many years, so their insights were naturally not trivial.
After the three of them had a conversation, they were actually very happy with each other, and both the old man and the young woman had the feeling of having their eyes opened wide.
”Fellow Daoist Han, just now listening to your words, you know a lot about foreign races, many of which are not recorded in the human race’s canonical books, and even things on other continents. Could it be that you have already traveled to other continents?” The old man finally couldn’t suppress the doubts in his heart and opened his mouth to ask.
”Fellow Daoist Chi is as discerning as the eye! I have indeed only just returned from traveling in the Savage Wasteland, and as for the other continents, I have also luckily walked on a trip.” Han Li did not conceal his intentions and frankly replied.
But the green-robed old man and the young woman couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cool air.
Fairy Xiaofeng was silent for a moment before speaking somewhat hesitantly:
”No wonder with senior’s cultivation aptitude, juniors have not heard of anything before. It turns out that senior has been practicing outside and only recently returned to the clan. However, listening to Elder Yun’s words, you once mentioned the Ye Family and the Long Family, who are also True Spirit Families. This reminds my concubine of a matter that I don’t know if I should tell.”
”Oh, what is it? Fellow Daoist, feel free to speak!” Han Li said with an unchanged expression on his face.
”Since senior said so, then my concubine will speak frankly. I won’t hide it from senior, after Elder Gu Yun informed me about senior’s matter, my concubine was quite interested and used some of her manpower to investigate some people with the same name and surname as senior. Although the time was short and I didn’t find much, I did get some simple information. One of them, ‘Han Li’, who used to serve as a Green Underworld Guard of Tian Yuan City hundreds of years ago, is it senior himself?” Fairy Xiao Feng said in a soft and slow voice.
The green-robed old man was somewhat surprised when he heard this.
Whether it was the matter of Han Li being a member of Heaven’s Abyss City back then, or the matter of a Green Netherworld Guard becoming a Harmonization Stage Cultivator in just a few hundred years’ time, it all made this Heaven’s Abyss City Elder feel greatly surprised.
”Hehe, the name of the True Spirit Family is truly extraordinary. But in just a few years, you’ve found Mister Han’s origins. It’s true that I was once a Heaven’s Abyss Guard of Heaven’s Abyss City, but after completing a task back then, I had already regained my freedom and detached myself from Heaven’s Abyss City.” Han Li’s face changed slightly, but he immediately returned as normal.
”In that case, that person who was being sought by both the Long and Ye Families is also Senior Han.” The young woman’s expression became a bit strange.
”Ye family, Long family? Have the two of them searched for me?” Han Li’s eyes narrowed, and his complexion became a bit somber.
”The Ye Family gave up after searching for senior for over a hundred years back then. On the contrary, it seems that the Long Family, which is known as the True Spirit’s number one family, still hasn’t officially canceled the order. Over the years, the Ye Family and the Long Family have crossed paths quite a bit, and although they haven’t gone to great lengths to fight, the two families have had friction things happen from time to time, counting exactly after the two families started searching for their seniors back then.” The young woman said with great meaning.
Han Li frowned for a moment, not immediately interfacing anything, but instead musing.
”Fellow Daoist once worked as a Green Destiny Guard in Heavenly Abyss City back then? This is somewhat unexpected. But that’s just as well, there are some words that Chi will get right to the point. The real intention of the old man’s visit this time, I think that you, Daoist Han, should have guessed a few points.” The green-robed old man coughed lightly before speaking at this moment.
”Hmm, what Brother Chi said, could it be the matter of inviting me to join Heavenly Abyss City again!” Han Li raised his eyebrows and faintly replied.
”Not bad, the old man is indeed representing the Elder Council to formally invite Fellow Daoist to join this city. Of course with your Daoist friend’s Harmonization Stage cultivation, joining this city immediately makes you a member of the Elder Council. As for the treatment afterward, since you, Fellow Daoist Han, have also spent time in Heavenly Abyss City, you should be well aware of it, so there’s no need for me to say anything more.” Qi Xu Bing said solemnly.
”This ……” Han Li showed a thoughtful look on his face and didn’t agree or refuse in one breath.
Seeing this situation, the young woman’s eyes flickered for a while before her sandalwood mouth opened and lightly spat out, “Since senior Chi opened his mouth, my concubine, as the head of the Valley Family, naturally came with similar intentions, and would also like to invite senior to join the Valley Family and become our Valley Family’s Supreme Guest Elder. This position in addition to in terms of treatment is absolutely satisfactory to you, normally, in addition to the major events related to the survival of the Valley Family, our Valley Family will absolutely not constrain you in any way.”
As soon as Immortal Xiao Feng opened her mouth, the conditions were even more tantalizing.
The green-robed old man’s face sank when he heard this, but it was not good to say anything to this woman. After all, although the young woman’s cultivation was only at the Refined Void realm, but as the head of the True Spirit Family, it made any Harmonization Stage cultivator not dare to underestimate.
However, after pondering for a moment, the old man still rushed Han Li and slowly said:
”The existence of the Conformity Stage of our Human-Demon and Demon tribes is extremely rare. In addition to this city, I believe that it is impossible for any of the Three Emperors and Seven Lands to have so many Harmonization Stage existences living in one place at the same time. The members of this city’s Council of Elders are able to exchange their insights from their normal cultivation on a regular basis. If you are willing to join our city, you will definitely benefit greatly in your cultivation in the future. Moreover, our Elder Council often joins forces to go to the Savage World and hunt some powerful ancient beasts, which is incomparable to other places. Fellow Daoist Han can carefully deliberate for a moment or two, the old man is indeed sincere in inviting you to join our city.”
Han Li seemed to have a few genuine intentions under his expression.
”Although our Gu Family only has a single Harmonization Stage Supreme Elder in attendance, as one of the True Spirit Families, the Gu Family naturally has unique secret techniques for utilizing and expelling True Spirit blood. I heard that Senior Han revealed the phantom of a mountain giant ape when he was hitting the bottleneck of the Conformity. As far as I know, none of the True Spirit families of the Human Race have inherited the bloodline of the Mountain Ape, so it seems that Senior Han obtained the bloodline of this True Spirit from outside the Human Race. If senior is willing to join our Gu family, my concubine will give senior the art of refining and driving the True Spirit bloodline. And I guarantee that in ten thousand years’ time, if senior has any thoughts of setting up another True Spirit family, our Gu family will never stop him and will definitely give him full support.” The young woman also voiced her greatest dependence on this trip.
The green-robed old man was taken aback when he heard that Han Li possessed a True Spirit bloodline, and once he heard the young woman’s conditions, his face changed completely.
”A new True Spirit Family!” Han Li’s gaze flickered, and his heart was equally surprised.
”Not bad. With senior’s aptitude and inherited True Spirit bloodline, how would the Gu Family dare to let senior serve as a Supreme Elder for such a false name. As long as seniors are willing to serve as our Valley Family’s Supreme Elder within 10,000 years, after 10,000 years, our Valley Family will definitely help seniors establish another True Spirit Family. Otherwise, even if senior’s cultivation and aptitude can establish a family with his own strength, the resistance will certainly not be small. After all, the major families have already divided the benefits pretty much, and having an additional family will definitely thin it out quite a bit, and the other families will most likely not be willing to do so.” The young woman said with a smile.
Han Li stroked his chin and fell silent!
Seeing this, Elder Chi couldn’t help but fill his face with a bitter smile.
Han Li hadn’t replied anything yet, but it was clear that even if he really wanted to join some force, it would never be their Tian Yuan City.
As for the young lady of the Valley Family, although her face was unusually calm, her heart was likewise a little apprehensive, not knowing whether the other party would really be able to take a look at the generous conditions that she had offered.
After all, there were quite a few high-ranking Immortal Cultivators who weren’t all interested in establishing their own families and forces. A lot of bitter cultivators are only focused on cultivation, and nominally do not want to have any constraints and attachments at all.
Otherwise, Tian Yuan City wouldn’t have had such a hard time getting replacements from the land of the Three Emperors and Seven Realms after losing Harmonization Stage cultivators all at once.
”I heard that the Heavenly Myriad Spirit Emperor of the Three Emperors fell and died not too long ago, and that the new Spirit Emperor will have to be re-selected within a hundred years or so. I wonder if this is true?” Han Li pondered for a while, and once he opened his mouth, he actually spoke words that made both Chi Xu Bing and Fairy Xiao Feng dumbfounded.
”It is true that this is not true. The new Spirit Emperor will be selected as the new Spirit Emperor in the Holy Cultivation Competition to be held a hundred years from now, and a Harmonization Stage Daoist will be selected to serve as the new Spirit Emperor. Fellow Daoist Han asked about this matter, could it be that he is also interested in the position of Spirit Emperor?” After freezing for a while, the green-robed old man returned with a strange expression.
”What, am I not qualified to participate in the selection for the position of Spirit Emperor?” Han Li gently smiled and lightly replied back.
”As long as one is a human Daoist above the level of Harmonization, they are all qualified to participate in the competition for the Spirit Emperor. However, the positions of the three emperors of all generations have almost always fallen into the hands of cultivators at the late stage of Harmonization. The occasional exceptions were mid-stage existences that possessed heaven-defying divine abilities. For an early stage cultivator to hold the position of Saint Emperor, as far as Chi Mou knows, since the Human Race gained a foothold in the Spirit Realm, there’s really never been one.” The old man’s face withdrew its strange color and returned with a bitter smile.
”Senior Han possesses the blood of a true spirit, so naturally his divine abilities are extraordinary. But if you want to seek the position of Spirit Emperor, I’m afraid it’s still a bit too hasty. More than a hundred years is just enough time for senior to familiarize himself with the realm and divine abilities after advancement, and I’m afraid that he won’t be able to compete with mid-to-late stage existences.” After the young woman took a light breath, she also persuaded in an extremely euphemistic tone.
”Hehe, of course Mister Han isn’t so arrogant as to think that he can take the position of Spirit Emperor just after advancing to the Harmonized Body. The Spirit Emperor Competition will definitely gather many existences of the same rank, and I’m only participating in this competition because I want to get acquainted with some more Dao friends and communicate with them in passing. As for the invitation from the two of you, Mister Han has never liked to stay in a certain place for too long, and I don’t want to be involved in too many karmic relationships, so I can only thank you for your kindness. However, I do have some interest in the True Spirit Family’s True Spirit bloodline refining and driving techniques. If Fairy Xiaofeng is originally interested, I am willing to use other treasures or techniques in exchange for these secret arts. I wonder what Fairy Xiaofeng would like to do?” After a flash of light in Han Li’s eyes, he actually said something like this.
