153: Do you deserve this shit?
In the quiet temple.
The two looked at each other, then stepped out of the temple.
Not far away, Han Li gazed at the Chi Huang Tribe.
Beside him, Dongfang Jing looked around, her gaze falling on Han Li in front of her.
"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, we shall meet again!"
Han Li cupped his hands, and then, Kun Peng Wings manifested behind him. With a flash of golden light, he disappeared into the Void Realm, vanishing without a trace.
"Li Feiyu..."
Dongfang Jing looked at the disappearing figure, murmured, took a step, and transformed into a white light, departing... Two days later, Han Li's figure stepped out of the Southern Border lands.
Looking back at the Ten Thousand Mountains, Han Li flew into the sky and disappeared.
This trip was a Perfection; the gains were even greater than he had anticipated.
Han Li had not expected that accidents and surprises would always come so unexpectedly.
Besides the improvement of his own strength, the more important point was that he had obtained two longevity divine medicine on this trip.
The purple lotus heavenly flower and the Phoenix Golden Lotus.
His Lifespan had surged, comparable to that of a Supreme Paragon.
If this were to spread, even the hidden Supreme magnates would probably take action, refining him alive.
After consuming the Phoenix Golden Lotus, Han Li gained ten thousand years of Lifespan. As for the remaining purple lotus heavenly flower, he temporarily had no plans to consume it.
He would keep it for now; perhaps it would be useful in the future... A month passed quietly. In Pu Tuo Country, Han Li's figure appeared in a desolate wilderness outside a city.
Last time, due to the big commotion in Lion Camel City, Han Li did not come to this capital city.
The commotion was too great, and he had no choice but to flee.
"Demonic Qi soars to the sky. Forget it, if I provoke a Demon Emperor, it won't be worth the loss..."
After some thought, Han Li ultimately abandoned the idea of annihilating Pu Tuo City.
The Demon Emperor he encountered last time was at least a Divine Hidden Realm existence, and possibly even a top magnate who had achieved Primordial Spirit.
Against a Demon Emperor of that level, Han Li would find it difficult to be an opponent even if he entered the God Realm.
The gap was too large; the gap in the God Realm, and the gap in the Innate Three Realms, was a difference of thousands of times.
Even if his power surpassed, he could not make up for such a huge gap... A few hours later, Han Li's figure reappeared outside Lion Camel City.
A few months ago, an arrow had destroyed more than half of Lion Camel City, but now, the destroyed areas of Lion Camel City had been repaired.
It was still the same Lion Camel City with its towering Demonic Qi.
Standing on the mountain road, Han Li glanced at it, then immediately left.
Passing through Lion Camel Ridge, Han Li's figure once again appeared at the teahouse from his first visit.
The sun was setting, and the twilight glow illuminated the earth, making everything appear harmonious and beautiful.
"Boss, a pot of tea!"
Han Li sat down on a chair in the teahouse and called out. Before long, a middle-aged man in gray appeared.
It was still the same shopkeeper from before.
He carried a flowery porcelain teapot and approached Han Li.
"Guest, you look familiar?" The shopkeeper asked while looking at Han Li.
"I had tea here a few months ago." Han Li said with a smile, holding his teacup.
"It's the Master!" The shopkeeper suddenly remembered, looking at him with surprise.
"Guest, are you here again to subdue demons and devils in Lion Camel Ridge?" The shopkeeper asked, looking at him with a surprised expression.
"Passing by." Han Li replied with two words.
"That's good. Guest, you don't know, but a few months ago, a big event happened. Many Masters came from other places and had a big battle with the monsters of Lion Camel Ridge."
"Big battle?"
Han Li looked at the shopkeeper, somewhat surprised.
"I'm not clear about the specific situation, I only saw many Masters who could fly go to Lion Camel Ridge, probably hundreds of Masters. In the end, I don't know how it concluded." The shopkeeper said.
"So that's it..."
"Could it be that those two from Questioning Dao Sect died in Lion Camel Ridge?"
Han Li's thoughts whirled.
However, this had no impact on him.
What needed to be said had already been said; Han Li had no great interest in knowing what ultimately happened to those two.
If they died, it could only be bad luck.
After all, he had given them time to escape back then.
"Has anything happened recently?" Han Li asked while drinking tea.
"No... Recently, no one has come." The shopkeeper shook his head.
Han Li nodded lightly, drank another bowl of tea, then took out a silver ingot and gave it to the shopkeeper.
"Thank you, guest. Please take care!" The shopkeeper happily accepted the silver, and Han Li's figure disappeared into the twilight... Night fell, enveloping Baoyue Country.
Above a vast river, amidst dark clouds, a black-clad figure stood on the dark clouds, overlooking the majestic river.
This was where he had hidden when he was pursued by Baoyue National Teacher.
Back then, if he hadn't used the Heaven-Shrouding Secret Art from the Heavenly Evolution Divine Art to conceal himself, he would probably have perished there.
That past scene was etched in his heart.
"Baoyue National Teacher..."
Amidst the dark clouds, Han Li looked towards Baoxiang City, Killing Intent overflowing from his eyes.
He had never forgotten this debt.
That time could also be said to be his most perilous experience.
It was deeply ingrained in his mind, like a brand, etched into the depths of his soul.
"Buzz—!"
With a flash of light, Han Li's figure instantly disappeared into the dark clouds... Dawn broke, and the first light illuminated the earth.
On a hillside in the outskirts of Baoxiang City, Han Li's figure appeared.
"If I enter Baoxiang City, will I draw out Baoyue National Teacher?"
Looking at Baoxiang City, a thought surfaced in Han Li's mind.
He was already very clear about the power of Baoyue Country, and even how many magnates the Baoyue Imperial Family had.
Baoyue National Teacher was not a member of the Baoyue Imperial Family, but he was a magnate, and although not of the Imperial Family, his status was unparalleled.
"I could use the Third Prince... to lure out Baoyue National Teacher, and see how much of a gap still remains between me and the God Realm..."
After a moment of contemplation, Han Li made up his mind.
He was going to use Baoyue National Teacher as his target.
This time, he wanted to clash head-on with a God Realm expert.
Let Baoyue National Teacher be a test stone.
To test his own strength.
As for killing Baoyue National Teacher, that should be impossible.
His power merely surpassed that of an ordinary Divine Aperture Realm expert.
It was not yet enough to kill a Divine Aperture Realm expert.
After the test, he wanted to leave. With his current Devouring Heaven and Earth, Han Li was confident he could easily shake off Baoyue National Teacher.
With this thought, Han Li took out a sound transmission bell.
He immediately shook the sound transmission... In Baoxiang City, within a manor, a figure suddenly stepped out of a room.
It was a young man wearing a golden crown and brocade robes.
It was the Third Prince.
Stepping out of the room, the Third Prince looked towards the city's outskirts, then at the sound transmission bell in his hand.
He was somewhat incredulous.
Han Li had returned, and he was right outside Baoxiang City.
He... how could he be so audacious?
It had only been a few months; could it be that he had already broken through to the God Realm?
Impossible!
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
At this moment, a graceful woman walked up to the Third Prince, her expression charming and alluring.
"Get lost!"
The Third Prince was irritated. He backhanded her, slapping the woman directly across the face.
"Slap—!"
A crisp slap echoed. The delicate woman instantly fell to the ground, half of her face swelling up immediately. Covering her face, the woman looked terrified.
"How to put it, I did help him back then, and now he's outside the Imperial City. Meeting him isn't a problem..." The Third Prince ignored the fallen woman, his thoughts turning for a moment. With his mind made up, he then strode away... Baoxiang City, outskirts.
On a desolate hillside, a young man wearing a golden crown and brocade robes appeared. It was none other than the Third Prince.
He looked around, seeing no one. Just as the Third Prince was about to take out his sound transmission bell to communicate, a voice suddenly entered his ear.
"Your Highness, long time no see."
The calm voice entered the Third Prince's ear. The Third Prince's pupils immediately constricted, and he instantly looked in the direction of the voice's source.
He saw a black-clad figure wearing a black hood step out of the forest. With a single stride, he arrived in front of him, removed his hood, and revealed his true appearance.
"Han Li!"
The Third Prince's heart suddenly pounded.
His breathing became somewhat rapid.
"What, after a few months, Your Highness doesn't recognize me?" Han Li said faintly.
The Third Prince completely recovered his senses, looked at Han Li, and said, "I didn't expect, Brother Han, that you would appear here."
"This is not a Forbidden Ground, so why can't Han come?" Han Li said faintly.
The Third Prince looked at Han Li. At such close proximity, he only felt the boundless and vast Qi and blood emanating from Han Li.
It gave him a strong sense of trepidation.
However, he could be sure that Han Li had not broken through, but compared to a few months ago, he seemed to have become even stronger.
"Brother Han, since you've come here, why don't you enter the city? I truly miss Brother Han."
The Third Prince said with a smile.
"I also miss Your Highness. Today, I invited Your Highness out for two matters."
Han Li said faintly.
"Oh? May I ask what matters, Brother Han?" The Third Prince asked, looking at him.
"The first matter is my reward. Your Highness promised Han back then, but it was a bit rushed, and I haven't collected the reward yet. Your Highness shouldn't have forgotten, right?"
Han Li said, looking at the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was startled, but quickly recovered. He spread his hand, revealing a hundred treasure sack, and handed it to Han Li.
"Brother Han, here are two hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. It's a small token of my regard, prepared for Brother Han long ago." The Third Prince said with a smile.
Han Li looked at the hundred treasure sack in his hand, nodded lightly, then put it away.
The Third Prince looked at him and spoke again, "Brother Han, what is the second matter for?"
"As for the second matter... Han would like to ask Your Highness to help arrange a meeting with someone."
Han Li said faintly.
Hearing this, the Third Prince's pupils constricted. He looked at Han Li and said, "Brother Han, do you mean you want me to invite my Eldest Brother out? This is the Imperial City, with many informants inside and out. If we were to fight, my Imperial Father would probably have to intervene."
Han Li shook his head and said, "Your Highness needn't be nervous. I have no interest in the First Prince. I just want Your Highness to arrange a meeting with Baoyue National Teacher, to ask the National Teacher to come out and meet."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince was immediately dumbfounded.
Invite the National Teacher too?!
Don't you know what the National Teacher thinks?
Back then, he chased you for more than a hundred thousand li!
"Brother Han, you're not joking, are you?"
The Third Prince asked, looking at him.
Han Li smiled, looked at the Third Prince, and said faintly, "Does Your Highness think Han is joking?"
The Third Prince: "..."
Han Li watched as the Third Prince frowned, seemingly having thought of something else, and looked around.
"Your Highness doesn't need to look any further. Han is the only one here."
"..."
"Brother Han, if I were to ask the National Teacher to come out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to control the situation. I can't guarantee that no accidents will occur," the Third Prince said, looking at Han Li.
His intention was clear.
A God Realm powerhouse was not something a mere prince could control.
Once he came out, everything would be filled with uncertainty.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Han only wishes to meet the National Teacher for a chat," Han Li said.
Hearing this, the Third Prince's heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat helpless.
Immediately, in front of Han Li, he revealed a sound transmission bell and sent a message.
However, he changed the content slightly, only saying that he had discovered Han Li's whereabouts, which Han Li heard clearly.
Soon, the sound transmission bell showed a response.
The Third Prince listened to the voice from the sound transmission bell, then looked at Han Li: "Brother Han, the National Teacher said he will be out immediately."
"Very good, thank you, Your Highness."
Han Li nodded slightly, his expression showing no fluctuations.
The Third Prince looked at the calm expression on Han Li's face and couldn't help but speculate.
Without the help of other powerhouses, could it be that Han Li had the strength to contend with the National Teacher?
Is that why he was so fearless?
However, it had only been a few months, and he had not broken through to the God Realm, so perhaps... "Let's see. I hope this guy has confidence..." The Third Prince sighed helplessly.
Once the National Teacher arrived, the situation would be beyond his control... In Baoxiang City, in a mansion in the east of the city, a purple-robed old man stepped out of a room.
Looking outside Baoxiang City, the purple-robed old man's eyes flickered.
"It's been a few months, and this guy still dares to come to Baoxiang City... This time, let's see if you can escape!"
Killing Intent surged in the purple-robed old man's eyes, and his figure moved, transforming into a purple light that disappeared into the mansion courtyard.
— —
"Whoosh — —!"
A sound of breaking air came from the Void Realm, and Han Li and the Third Prince looked over simultaneously.
A purple light appeared in their eyes.
Within the purple light was none other than Baoyue National Teacher.
The Third Prince subconsciously glanced at Han Li beside him.
But Han Li's face remained impassive, showing no unusual signs.
He was very calm, so calm that it was almost terrifying.
"If he were to make a move here, he probably wouldn't be that stupid, would he?" The thought flashed through the Third Prince's mind.
And at this moment, Baoyue National Teacher's figure descended from the sky.
He landed on a nearby hillside, his eyes fixed intently on Han Li.
"This guy's Aura is several times stronger than before!"
Looking at Han Li, Baoyue National Teacher's heart skipped a beat.
"But if he hasn't broken through to the God Realm, then he's just a larger ant."
Baoyue National Teacher's gaze was sharp.
Their eyes met, and Han Li looked at Baoyue National Teacher.
"National Teacher, we meet again. Thanks to your care back then, I was able to survive until now," Han Li said indifferently.
"Haha, young man, your Divine Ability is quite impressive. You were able to deceive even me back then," Baoyue National Teacher chuckled, but within his laughter, there was an invisible Killing Intent.
"It's alright, just some minor, underhanded tricks."
Han Li said indifferently.
"Coming here alone, aren't you afraid of death?" Baoyue National Teacher said indifferently.
"I think, National Teacher, you are not qualified enough," Han Li said.
"Young man, you are very arrogant. It seems you gained a lot from the Legacy!"
Baoyue National Teacher's gaze was cold, and his Aura spread out.
Divine Might like a prison.
The Third Prince's expression changed instantly.
However, when the immense Divine Might reached Han Li, a wisp of Aura spread out, and Baoyue National Teacher's Divine Might instantly disintegrated.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Han Li unaffected, Baoyue National Teacher's eyes narrowed.
"National Teacher, this is the Imperial City," the Third Prince said from the side.
"Third Prince, you should leave. There might be an accident later."
The National Teacher said indifferently.
"Whoosh — —!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li's figure suddenly moved, transforming into a golden light, breaking through the air and flying into the sky.
Baoyue National Teacher looked at the Void Realm, his gaze sharp, and likewise transformed into a purple light, disappearing from his original spot.
Watching the two disappear, the Third Prince stood rooted to the spot, his expression shifting between clear and overcast.
But in the current situation, he could no longer intervene.
He could only let nature take its course.
All he could do was wait.
Han Li dared to summon the National Teacher, which probably meant he at least had the strength to contend.
As for the outcome, he couldn't determine it yet.
Although Han Li's strength was no longer comparable to an ordinary Peak of the Acquired Realm expert.
But the difference between the God Realm and Innate was simply too great.
To this day, there had never been any mention of anyone being able to contend with a God Realm expert in the Innate Realm.
Being able to last a few moves was already extremely rare.
"I hope... no accidents happen," the Third Prince sighed.
— —
In Baoyue Country, in the Void Realm, a golden light streaked across the sky. The next second, a purple light followed closely behind.
Suddenly, the golden light stopped, arriving at the summit of a mountain.
At this moment, they were already a thousand miles away from the Baoyue Imperial Family.
The purple light descended from the sky, and Baoyue National Teacher's figure also appeared on the mountaintop.
The distance between them was only a dozen zhang.
His Divine Sense scanned the surroundings, finding no figures hidden nearby. Baoyue National Teacher's gaze turned to Han Li.
"Young man, I must say, I admire your courage, and your strength is also excellent. I am somewhat fond of wealth, so how about this: if you submit to me and willingly obey my commands, I can allow you to rise to prominence in the future, and even enter the God Realm, it is not impossible."
Baoyue National Teacher's voice rang out, every word clear to the ear.
Han Li's expression was calm as he looked at Baoyue National Teacher and spoke a single sentence.
"You dog, are you worthy?"
Baoyue National Teacher: "?"
Hearing this sentence, Baoyue National Teacher was stunned for a moment.
He could barely believe what he had heard, looking at Han Li.
"What... did you say?"
"I said you are nothing but a dog of the Baoyue Imperial Family," Han Li said indifferently.
"You damn!"
Baoyue National Teacher fully recovered, his face instantly flushed crimson.
His beard bristled with anger.
Looking at Han Li, his eyes were filled with undisguised Killing Intent.
"Kid, with that one sentence, you will die today!" Baoyue National Teacher completely exploded.
The rage in his heart erupted like a volcano, directly reaching its peak.
As a dignified God Realm powerhouse, when had he ever been so insulted?
He must be cut into a thousand pieces!
He must be cut into a thousand pieces!
"Boom — —!"
The air exploded, and a vast Aura erupted like a flood. The next second, Baoyue National Teacher struck directly, a punch aimed at Han Li.
The power of heaven and earth roared, accompanying it like a world-destroying punch, pulverizing everything.
"Roar — —!!!"
Behind him, eight Azure Dragons ascended into the sky, their clear Dragon roars echoing through the clouds. Purple-golden light bloomed, forming a golden seal, and Sky Dragon Suppressing Prison immediately erupted.
The collision of extreme forces. When the attacks met, Baoyue National Teacher's expression instantly changed.
This power was so immense that he felt a strong sense of danger.
"Boom — —!!!"
A visible shockwave swept out.
Underfoot, the thousand-zhang peak immediately collapsed, rocks shattered, and destructive fluctuations swept for dozens of miles.
The earth shook and the mountains swayed.
A single clash caused devastating damage.
The figures of Baoyue National Teacher and Han Li were engulfed by the soaring dust and smoke.
Their figures were submerged within it.
The Void Realm twisted, and even the central area directly collapsed.
Mountains collapsed, and the clash site turned into ruins.
Like a battle of gods, their Divine Ability and martial arts erupted to the extreme.
"Boom — —!"
The air vibrated, and amidst the thick dust and smoke, brilliant lightning was released. The next moment, a figure fell out of the dust and smoke.
Baoyue National Teacher.
At this moment, blood hung at the corner of his mouth.
In this brief clash, he had actually fallen into a disadvantage, even with the combined power of heaven and earth, he felt somewhat unable to block Han Li.
"Sizzle — —"
At this moment, a destructive lightning seal rushed out, containing extreme power.
Baoyue National Teacher's expression changed. He raised his hand, purple light flashed, transforming into a large purple handprint that attacked.
"Boom — —!!"
Destructive light waves spread, impacting heaven and earth.
Within a hundred miles, all mountains were leveled.
Han Li's figure stepped out from the dust and smoke, looking at Baoyue National Teacher.
Looking at Han Li's figure, Baoyue National Teacher's gaze was solemn.
He never imagined that in just a few short months, Han Li's strength had increased so rapidly.
Facing an Peak of the Acquired Realm expert, he actually fell slightly into a disadvantage.
Simply relying on martial arts Divine Ability, he was actually defeated.
What did he obtain in the Legacy? Could it be that he obtained the Legacy of Great Sage Baoxiang?!
While his heart was shaken, a strong Killing Intent also surged in Baoyue National Teacher's heart.
"Buzz — —!!"
A golden light bloomed, and a soaring Aura rose from Baoyue National Teacher.
In his hand, a large black saber appeared. The black saber exuded a destructive Aura.
It was clearly a Low-Grade Dao Artifact!
"Slash!"
Without hesitation, Baoyue National Teacher instantly activated this Low-Grade Dao Artifact, and a hundred-zhang long Saber Qi descended like a materialized celestial saber.
This slash tore through the Void Realm.
Rending everything apart.
Han Li's gaze also became extremely solemn. The immense True Qi within his body was stimulated, and above Han Li's head, a brilliant divine diagram instantly appeared.
The scenery of mountains, rivers, sun, and moon appeared behind him.
"Boom — —!"
This destructive slash directly landed on the divine diagram.
An extreme light wave instantly erupted.
The divine diagram vibrated, and the scenery of mountains, rivers, sun, and moon behind him also trembled.
As if it was about to collapse.
The fluctuations spread from the center, and the surrounding Void Realm instantly twisted, forming a black hole region.
One slash, pulverizing the Void Realm.
The light wave covered everything, making it impossible to look directly at it.
And after the light wave subsided, below the divine diagram, Han Li's figure appeared unharmed.
Although he couldn't unleash the full power of the embroidered rivers and mountains map, the defense of a Medium Grade Dao Artifact was not to be underestimated.
Han Li successfully blocked this world-destroying slash.
"What!"
Holding the large black saber, Baoyue National Teacher's heart trembled as he watched this scene.
Activating the Dao Artifact with a full-power strike, this almost reached his limit.
But the result was unexpected!
