Chapter 528: Come Out to See Me
Han Li tried to rouse Jin Tong from her slumber through their spiritual connection, but she displayed no signs of waking up, so he could only put her back into his spirit beast pouch.
The breeze blowing over the mountain was very cool and refreshing, and the sun was already beginning to rise in the distance.
A short while later, Meng Yungui and the others arrived on the mountain summit to meet Han Li.
He told them the same thing that he had already informed Meng Qianqian of earlier, then departed on his own without lingering any longer, leaving Meng Qianqian to look on with a sullen expression.
"Master Li's cultivation base seems to have advanced even further. I think he's become even more powerful than the Golden Immortal Stage Dao Lords of the Blaze Dragon Dao," Sun Buzheng murmured unadulterated admiration in his eyes.
"That's why we need to work even harder in our cultivation. We may not be able to help him in the future, but we definitely can't weigh him down," Meng Qianqian said.
"Qianqian's right. We definitely can't put ourselves in a position where Master Li has to come and save us again. Once everything is settled in Bright Cloud City, let's follow Master Li's instructions and travel to the Black Wind Sea right away," Meng Yungui said.
......
A month later.
In the sky above a boundless blue sea, a streak of azure light was racing through the clouds, doing so at such an incredible speed that it was impossible to track with the naked eye.
However, after flying for some time, the carriage drew to an abrupt halt.
Han Li was standing atop the carriage in his usual azure robe, holding a shimmering golden spirit beast pouch.
A surprised look flashed through his eyes as he opened the spirit beast pouch, and a mountainous golden beetle instantly emerged from within.
It was none other than Jin Tong in her true form, and her entire body was glowing with radiant golden light.
Furthermore, he entire body was riddled with countless peculiar patterns that were giving off a terrifying aura.
However, Han Li noticed that the beetle's eyes were still closed, indicating that it was still sleeping.
Through raising Gold Devouring Beetles back in the Spirit Realm, he learned that they evolved by devouring one another, but it seemed that Jin Tong was currently on the cusp of a breakthrough after devouring a large number of treasures. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
No wonder her aura's been fluctuating unsteadily ever since she ate that cauldon... Han Li thought to himself, and the concern in his heart faded away as he sensed Jin Tong's steadily rising aura.
Right as he was about to set up an array to conceal the signs of Jin Tong's breakthrough, its eyes abruptly sprang open, and a thunderous burp rang out.
A pillar of translucent light that was over 1,000 feet in length then erupted out of its mouth, covering a distance of several hundred kilometers in the blink of an eye.
The sea down below was completely parted by the pillar of light, to the extent that the entire seabed was revealed.
Immediately thereafter, the golden light radiating from Jin Tong's body rapidly faded, and it quickly reverted back to a little girl.
The little girl stretched lazily with a bleary look in her eyes, seemingly having only just woken up.
The blue spirit boat was instantly sent flying like a leaf in a tornado, and all of the Vast Flow Palace disciples on it threw up mouthfuls of blood before falling unconscious on the spot.
Han Li continued onward without pause, but Li Ang was able to remain conscious, and he swept a sleeve through the air to send a burst of blue light erupting into the heavens as he yelled, "We're under enemy attack!"
A resounding boom rang out as the burst of blue light exploded in the sky before spreading outward in all directions.
Han Li made no attempt to stop what he was doing. In fact, he didn't even bother to take a glance at Li Ang as he continued to fly onward.
Immediately thereafter, countless streaks of light erupted out of all parts of the mountain range to stand in Han Li's path.
These were all Vast Flow Palace cultivators who possessed far superior cultivation bases to Li Ang, and they were led by a group of early and mid-True Immortal cultivators.
"Stop! Who dares to encroach upon our Vast Flow Palace?" an elderly man yelled in a furious voice.
"Get Luo Qinghai to come out and see me," Han Li declared in an expressionless manner, following which a vast wave of azure light erupted out of his body, sending all of the surrounding cultivators flying through the air.
Right at this moment, an extremely deep and resonant voice rang out. "Welcome, Fellow Daoist. Please forgive these juniors for their rudeness. May I ask your name?"
At the same time, a gentle breeze blew past, instantly scattering the wave of azure light.
Han Li raised an eyebrow as he stopped in his tracks.
Immediately thereafter, a blue-robed elderly man appeared not far in front of him.
The man was quite tall, with a long beard that trailed all the way down to his chest, but his skin was dark green in color, presenting a rather peculiar sight to behold.
The vast aura emanating from his body indicated that he was a Golden Immortal.
Han Li took a glance at the elderly man, but offered no response.
The elderly man wasn't bothered by this, and he cupped his fist in a salute as he said, "I don't think we've ever met before, Fellow Daoist. What is the purpose of your visit?"
"Get Luo Qinghai to come out and see me," Han Li repeated.
"I'm afraid you haven't come at a good time, Fellow Daoist. Palace Master Luo left the sect a very long time ago, and he still hasn't returned yet. If you have something important to discuss with him, you can leave a message with me, and I'll be sure to pass on the message once he returns."
"The Infernal Frost Immortal Palace has already closed, and I ran into Grand Palace Master Luo in Black Wind City some time ago. Back then, he had already set off back to the Vast Flow Palace. Surely you're not telling me that he still hasn't returned?" Han Li asked with a mocking sneer.
The elderly man's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this.
"It's fine if Luo Qinghai doesn't want to meet me, but in that case, I'll have to advise your Vast Flow Palace to select two more extreme palace masters," Han Li continued with a cold smile.
The elderly man's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "What did you just say?"
Meanwhile, everyone else was exchanging befuddled glances with one another.
