Chapter 1857: The Great Eye

返回章节列表
"What does it mean by leaving this realm? Could it be...?" Han Li looked utterly stunned. "Master is right! After absorbing a fragment of the celestial spirit of the heavenly demon king from beyond the realm, I underwent profound internal transformations and began to sense an invisible pull toward another realm. Thus, I had to remain in a deep sleep within the spirit-beast ring, otherwise I would have faced an utterly uncontrollable fate. However, just now, when startled awake by the colossal bird formed from the thunder beast, and unable to resist drawing in its celestial thunder energy, my body has now been completely repelled by the essence of this realm's natural forces. I fear I shall soon be transported to the realm of True Immortals, as the legends speak." Ti Hun murmured, her expression somewhat dazed. "The Realm of True Immortals! Are you certain that the true force you summoned was drawn from this very realm?" Han Li stood there, silent for a while, then shook his head with a wry, weary smile. After all, he had risked his life countless times in pursuit of cultivation—precisely to one day transcend to the Realm of True Immortals, where he might truly live in harmony with the heavens and Yet now, with his master still far from achieving this goal, Ti Hun accomplished it effortlessly. This left him mentally disoriented, with a faint sensation as though he were about to faint, and naturally, a quiet doubt lingered deep within his heart. "Though I don't fully understand why, I can clearly feel the divine power of the Immortal Realm drawing me. Among the new thoughts forming in my mind, many are directly related to the True Immortal Realm," Ti Hun replied honestly. "You know things about the True Immortal Realm! Could you share a few details with me?" Upon hearing this, Han Li felt a sudden surge of excitement. "If you'd like to know, I'd be happy to share a few stories... Oh no, I'm running out of time!" Ti Hun nodded in agreement at first, but then suddenly faltered and could no longer speak. As soon as the words fell, a deep rumble echoed suddenly in the sky. From the hazy mist, a vibrant five-colored light aura surged forth, brilliant and dazzling, spinning smoothly until it took the form of a luminous orb the size of a house. The pupil of the orb was crystal-clear, glowing with an otherworldly radiance. The orb's gaze slightly shifted, then locked firmly onto the啼魂兽 below. A terrifying, world-conquering aura poured down from the heavens. Han Li felt an intense cold rush through his body, his limbs tingling, his fingers stiff and completely immobile. This was not merely a disparity in magical power—it was an absolute dominance in terms of境界. With just a single thought, that strange orb seemed capable of scattering his very soul. Han Li's face grew pale. This complete sense of being at the mercy of another—he hadn't felt it in many years. It brought him back to the days when he was still a child, facing Doctor Mo, helpless and powerless. Under the steady gaze of that great eye, the Ti-Hun beast's facial muscles trembled, gradually breaking into a heavy sweat. One of its arms quivered slightly, as if it wished to lift it, but ultimately only rose halfway before weakening and dropping again. The immense eye, witnessing this scene, seemed to personify itself, offering a faint, mocking smile and emitting an eerie, incantatory sound. As though it blinked, a colossal, blood-colored light beam surged forth instantly! With a sharp "pffft!" the Ti-Hun beast was instantly lifted off the ground, its form being carried through the air. In a moment, it soared to a height of over a thousand paces. Though unable to move himself, Han Li below could still see the beast struggling to turn its head and glance back once, its gaze filled with complex emotion, before fading into the pupil of the five-colored great eye. When the incantatory sound ceased, the massive eye slowly closed its lids, and with a tremendous roar, it vanished completely from the sky. A fresh layer of mist surged upward, restoring the sky to its original state once more! At the very moment the five-colored eyes vanished, the terrifying aura that had sent everyone on edge also disappeared. Han Li, now free, remained motionless at his spot, gazing upward as though still in awe. After some time passed, a soft sigh echoed. Han Li lowered his head again, a quiet sense of melancholy now faintly visible on his face. Ti Hun had accompanied him since the days of the Chaotic Star Sea, and had remained by his side ever since his ascension to the Immortal Realm—saving his life countless times along the way. Now, with Ti Hun suddenly departing, and his fate still uncertain, it was impossible to say he wasn’t deeply concerned. Yet that enormous eye clearly belonged to the Immortal Realm. Before it, Han Li had felt like a mere insect, utterly powerless to resist or influence anything. He could only watch helplessly. Fortunately, Ti Hun’s composed demeanor as he departed suggested that he likely faced no serious danger in the True Immortal Realm. Should he indeed succeed in ascending to the immortal realm and meet Ti Hu again, that would not be impossible. The only regret is that this beast ascended too swiftly, leaving him little time to learn about the true affairs of the immortal realm—otherwise, it might have proven beneficial for his future ordeal and ascension. Suddenly, Han Li's expression changed, and he raised his head, gazing toward a different part of the void. There, a faint golden glow flashed in the sky, followed by a golden streak of light rushing forth, moving with such speed that within a few moments, it had reached Han Li's presence. Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly as he clearly made out the guest within the streak, a gentle smile forming on his face. As the light settled, a stunning young woman emerged before him—elegant in form and with skin as pure as snow. "Ms. Yuan, it's been many years. I hope you're well!" Han Li bowed respectfully. "It truly is you, Han brother!" Yuan Yao wore a green imperial gown; upon seeing Han Li, her face lit up with joy. After scanning the young woman with his spiritual awareness and clearly discerning her cultivation level, Han Li's eyes flashed with another look of astonishment: "Ms. Yuan has also reached the late Lingxu stage. It seems Master Qingyuan has truly invested great care in nurturing you." "Hmph! Now not only is Yao'er my disciple, but just recently, I've taken her as my daughter-in-law! How could I possibly fail to give my full attention?" The voice of another man suddenly interrupted, accompanied by a sharp exhalation. Then, a streak of jade-green light suddenly shot out from one of Yuan Yao's fragrant sleeves, spiraling before materializing into a small, misty figure. This figure wore a gray robe, carried a small, emerald-hued sword, and stood only about a foot tall. With an ordinary face and a long beard, it was precisely Master Qingyuan shrunk down to one-tenth of his original size. "Solidified Yuan Spirit Form!" Han Li exclaimed, startled upon seeing the figure. "Is it really that surprising that my Yuan Spirit has manifested externally?" Oh, almost forgot—having one's Yuan婴 (immortal embryo) separated for an extended period without reaching the stage of Great Perfection is indeed quite dangerous. Yet I have long since entered the Great Perfection stage, and my Yuan婴 has been refined to a state where it is as solid and formative as my physical body. To me, my physical form is no longer essential. This will naturally become clear to you once you yourself attain the Great Perfection stage. Moreover, the one Yuan婴 accompanying Yao'er here is merely one of my three incarnate manifestations. Said the elder, chuckling. "How could I possibly compare with your earlier achievements!" Han Li naturally offered many humble remarks. "Perhaps I am being overly generous—my own assessment still remains uncertain. However, before arriving here, did you ever engage in any conflicts with others? Moreover, the residual energy here seems rather unusual!" Qingyuan asked, scanning the surroundings with a slightly furrowed brow. Han Li thought thus in his heart, yet replied lightly: "Nothing much. When I first arrived, one of my rivals managed to slip in as well. However, I've already dealt with him. This rival is of an unusual origin, so his residual aura is somewhat distinct." "Ah, I see—I was overly concerned. Well, this isn't the right place for conversation. Master Han, let us return to our quarters together. Your point of entry into this realm is slightly off, and you still have half a day's journey to reach my residence. Had it not been for the fact that I happened to be taking Yao'er out to test a secret technique, we wouldn't have been able to arrive so promptly." Qingyuan solemnly glanced at Han Li with deep intent before speaking calmly. Without waiting for Han Li's reply, he flashed a streak of jade-green light and swiftly transformed into a streak of jade-green light, breaking through the air toward the distance. Seeing this, Han Li only smiled and nodded, then activated his flight spell and followed suit. Yet Yuan Yao smiled gently, transforming into a golden rainbow that flew side by side with Han Li. "Brother Han, I thought it would take several years before you returned again. After all, the materials your father asked you to gather are all exceedingly rare." Yuan Yao whispered as she sped forward. "Yet how can you be so certain that I must have collected all the items Master Jiang requested and returned to this realm? Perhaps I’ve come for other reasons as well." Han Li replied with a faint smile. "Others may not know, but I do understand your nature well. If it weren’t for sufficient rewards, you’d never go to such lengths to return here. And among all the things that would appeal to a friend like you, few could surpass the Yinhe Divine Milk—something that has become especially valuable to you now." Yuan Yao smiled warmly, her face as radiant as a blooming flower. "Indeed, Lady, you know my character quite well. This time, I have come specifically for the Yinhe Divine Milk." Han Li paused slightly before chuckling and replied.
