The port on Kuixing Island remained as bustling as ever, with numerous large and small sea vessels continuously docking and setting sail, weaving through the harbor like a never-ending stream. Above, occasional flashes of colorful light danced in the sky. The ordinary people on the ground had grown accustomed to this daily spectacle, seeing it as nothing unusual. Yet today, a streak of brilliant white light surged from outside the island, moving with the speed of lightning—only pausing briefly above the port before swiftly darting deep into the island's heart. Anyone close enough could clearly see two faint figures shimmering within the light: Han Li, now at the pinnacle of his cultivation, having completed the first stage of the "Three Transformations of the Fundamental Energy" and refined his inner power to the peak of the Foundation Stage, and his duplicate, Qu Hun, whose cultivation had advanced to nearly match Han Li's, thanks to the accumulation of countless pills. Over the course of twenty years of condensed energy training, Han Li's cultivation techniques had grown not only more refined and robust, but also, the progress of Qu Hun during this period had brought him immense joy and satisfaction. If it weren't for the special auxiliary items needed to stabilize the煞丹 and for Feng Han himself needing to prepare as well for his own Dan stage, he would never have left the cave of Xiao Huan Mountain. Yet this time, he had made up his mind. Besides purchasing supplies and retrieving the spiritual stones promised by Gu Dongzhu back then, he would simply return to the mountain without visiting any other place. After all, this was now a crucial period of his cultivation, and he simply couldn't afford to be distracted. With this in mind, the Shenfeng Boat carried Han and Feng Hún directly toward the center of the island—the "Kuixing City." Though he still had many spiritual stones on him, he wasn't in a hurry to head to Gu's household right away. It would be more convenient to first buy what he needed and then make the trip. Several hours later, Han began to catch sight of the vast city enclosed by towering walls. Although he had never visited Kuixing City before, the clear markings on the map and the city's imposing presence confirmed beyond doubt that it was indeed the right place. At that moment, Han Li suddenly felt the Shenfeng Boat beneath his feet grow heavier, as though it had become over a thousand pounds. Han Li was momentarily startled, but quickly realized that he had been caught within a restriction. Indeed, this city truly lived up to its reputation as the largest in Kuixing Island—having established a wide-ranging aerial barrier even at such a distance. In truth, with his current Jianji peak cultivation level, he could easily have ignored this restriction and continued flying, merely expending a bit more spiritual energy. Yet Han Li did not wish to draw attention, so he gently stepped on the front of the Shenfeng Boat, causing it to descend slowly and steadily. Han Li and Quhun stepped down from the boat and stood firmly on the ground. After shrinking and storing the Shenfeng Boat in his storage bag, Han Li looked toward the vast city in the distance, smiled calmly, and walked steadily with Quhun toward it. "Kuixing City" was at least three or four times larger than the "Dongshi City" he had previously visited! Han Li walked along a street in Kuixing City, gazing at the broad expanse that could easily accommodate several animal-carts side by side, and felt a sense of reflection. He casually asked a common citizen about the location of "Tiandu Street," and without hesitation, Han Li and Qu Hun headed north toward the city. "Is this what they mean by 'Tiandu Street'?" Han Li was astonished, his face filled with surprise. Before him stretched a vast, hazy protective dome that completely covered the northern district of Kuixing City—here, there wasn't just one street, but well over a hundred, perhaps even more. This was far from the solitary street he had imagined. What truly amazed Han Li most, however, was that at the very heart of this district, a towering pavilion floated thirty or more zhang above the ground. The pavilion was a lush, vibrant green, glowing softly with a gentle luminescence, resembling a massive jade block, and stood out strikingly. Staring at the pavilion, bathed in the bright sunlight, Han Li stood motionless for a long time. Though he didn't know exactly how this pavilion floated in the air without falling, Han Li truly found it remarkable. At that moment, however, Han Li's expression changed, and he suddenly drew in his spiritual energy, maintaining only the level of a Qi Condensation stage practitioner. Then, footsteps echoed behind him, followed by a clear, melodious female voice. "Are you two newcomers to Tiandu Street? Any cultivator who first sees Yunmeng Pavilion is always amazed for a long time!" The voice was as sweet as a nightingale, prompting Han Li to turn around. There, about fifteen paces behind him, stood five cultivators—three men and two women. As for the men, he need not comment. The two women, however, were particularly graceful and stylish, dressed with boldness. Though their attire was simple, they revealed their snowy arms and smooth legs, and remarkably, they had gone barefoot—completely without shoes or socks, their delicate feet exposed. What stood out more was the three elegant, glowing golden rings—large and two smaller ones—woven around the delicate wrists and foreheads of the two women, adding a particularly vibrant and alluring charm to their appearance. The three men, by contrast, appeared rather ordinary, with one even bearing a full face of small spots, seeming somewhat unattractive. All five were cultivators at around the tenth to twelfth level of Qi cultivation, clearly eager to enter the dome as well. "Could you tell me your names?" Han Li glanced at the two women, whose appearance was truly striking, and asked with a touch of bewilderment. "Little lady, I am lovely and this is my close friend Yuan Yao. We are independent cultivators from nearby islands. Hearing that today, Tian Du Street has received a shipment of rare materials from other major islands, we decided to join these three fellow cultivators on our way here to take a look!" The speaker was a petite, sweet-faced woman who was curiously observing Han Li and Qu Hun, and smiled warmly as she spoke. Her voice matched exactly the one who had initially asked the question. Meanwhile, another young woman standing beside her was even more stunning—her skin as pure and delicate as snow, tender to the touch, and beneath her tight garments, her graceful, elegant figure shone forth, so captivating that even men found themselves unable to hold back their admiration, truly possessing the kind of beauty that could win over kingdoms. Yet, this young lady did not look at Han Li; instead, her bright, beautiful eyes were fixed on the "Qu Hun," her face momentarily expressing astonishment. This is Han Li, and this is my senior, Qu Hun. It's actually our first time visiting Tiandu Street. "I always thought that if Master Qu and Mr. Han hadn't been visiting Yunmeng Pavilion for the first time, they wouldn't have stopped to linger here! Why don't we all go in together? I and my sister can introduce you to the various shops in Tiandu. Though we are not from Kuixing Island, we've come here many times. We know everything about it inside and out." The petite and graceful woman smiled brightly at Han Li. "Indeed, if Master Qu doesn't mind, my sisters and I would be honored to serve as your guides through Tiandu Street, so you can find what you're looking for without spending too much time." The beautiful woman Yuan Yao, with her bright, sparkling eyes, added. Her delicate, charming smile made it impossible for any man to refuse. Hearing this, the three male cultivators who had come with the two women could not help but look rather uneasy. Yet, upon glancing at Qu Hu, the senior cultivator at the Foundation Stage, the group could only remain silent, brooding in quiet resentment. Han Li was momentarily stunned. He had never before encountered a situation where a beautiful woman would actively offer companionship. However, observing the way the two young ladies looked at Qu Hu, it seemed clear that their genuine interest lay in the more accomplished senior cultivator, while he himself was merely an incidental presence. Though he had no clear understanding of the girls' intentions, Han Li made no effort to provoke or engage them. Under Han Li's guidance, the usually silent Qu Hu finally spoke, her voice hoarse: "No thanks! I've always preferred solitude. Master Han, let's go!" With that, she firmly grasped Han Li, who offered a slightly apologetic smile, and stepped decisively into the light dome, showing not the slightest intention to engage in conversation with the two ladies. Qu Hu's stiff demeanor left the two women slightly disappointed, their expressions softened with regret. Meanwhile, the three male cultivators were energized, their spirits lifted, and a clear sense of satisfaction began to shine through. "Alright, ladies! This elder Qu seems to be quite a peculiar person. We'll go in ourselves!" The male cultivator, with a full face of freckles, stepped forward with a friendly demeanor and spoke to the two women. After hearing this, the two graceful and charming women exchanged a glance and managed a polite smile before nodding in agreement, then lightly stepped into the light dome. By this time, the figures of Han Li and Qu Hun had already vanished among the bustling streets. Seeing this, the two women sighed with a touch of resignation and simply chose a shop at random, entering it.
