?Chapter 860: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 857 Vortex Chapter 860: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 857 Vortex Han Li was equally shocked when he heard this.
Three late Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces against the ancient devil, yet they seemed unable to subdue it quickly.
This ancient devil, having regained its Qi, probably possessed divine skills comparable to a Deity Transformation stage cultivator.
“Was this devil completely annihilated in that battle?” Han Li asked calmly.
“Younger generations like us really do not know.
Some say this demon was brutally killed by the cultivators surrounding it, while others claim it used an unimaginable secret technique to miraculously escape death and break through the siege.
Our family’s capabilities are limited, so we cannot discern the truth of these matters.
However, since that siege, this devil indeed vanished from our Tian Luo, likely truly exterminated, both body and soul,” Huang Yuanming hesitated before offering some conjecture.
“Soul and body completely exterminated!” Han Li touched his chin, reflected briefly, and felt skeptical.
If the devil was truly annihilated, Wei Wuya and others wouldn’t need to be so secretive.
There must have been some complications, making everything ambiguous and unclear on purpose.
Yet, it’s strange that the devil disappeared thereafter.
Perhaps it was severely injured in the battle and had to hide to heal its wounds, or maybe it even left Tian Luo entirely.
After considering these possibilities and unable to decide which was more likely, Han Li decided to temporarily set aside these thoughts.

“Fellow Daoist Huang, apart from issues pertaining to Devilfall Valley and demons in the past twenty years or so, has there been any other major event?
Regardless of which country it involves, feel free to share!” Han Li asked calmly about other matters.
“In recent years, indeed there were other incidents, but none are worth mentioning compared to those concerning Devilfall Valley.
The only notable event, equally tempestuous, was shortly after the disappearance of that demon, a bizarre huge vortex suddenly appeared on The Endless Sea near the coast of State of Xi.
This vortex spewed out a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, even beginning to purify the nearby waters of The Endless Sea.
Moreover, seven small islands emerged around this vortex from the seabed, each brimming with intense Spiritual Energy and possessing rare top-grade Spirit Veins.
Concerning the ownership of these islands, three great cultivators again jointly organized a grand Island Conquest Conference.
Many sects participated.
In the end, seven major immortal cultivator sects secured ownership of these islands.
That vortex, reportedly unfathomable, attracted many cultivators who dived into it to explore.
However, once they went deep into the vortex, they encountered tremendous pressure, and the deeper they went, the greater the pressure became, becoming unbearable.
It is said that even Master Sunreach among the three great cultivators explored it once.
But eventually, at about three thousand feet deep, he couldn’t withstand the overwhelming pressure of over ten thousand pounds and had to return without success,” Huang Yuanming thought briefly before promptly speaking the above.
“A giant vortex!
Such an event occurred?” Han Li asked in surprise, his face showing a trace of astonishment.
“How could I dare deceive my senior?
This event made waves for several years before it gradually calmed down.
You only need to ask others slightly about it to know the truth,” Huang Yuanming replied with a chuckle.
Han Li nodded, finding the matter quite interesting but continued asking about other matters, especially about the actions of The Moulan and the activities between the righteous and demonic sects over the years, inquiring in great detail.
Huang Yuanming and the other two elders left no word unsaid, without any intention of concealment.
Huang Yuanming answered most of the questions while the other two elders occasionallyinterjected to supplement and ensure Han Li was satisfied.
Before long, Han Li gained a rough understanding of the various significant and minor events that had occurred in recent years, feeling more at ease.
Apart from the ancient devil and the vortex, the so-called major events were merely local appearances of Spiritual Medicine or treasures or conflicts between two immortal cultivation sects.
These matters were inconsequential to Han Li.
However, he maintained a usual demeanor and listened seriously as the three persons recounted everything.
As for matters concerning the Drifting Cloud Sect, Han Li did not inquire.
After all, his location was far too remote from the State of Xi, and such a minor family likely knew nothing concrete.
If he really wanted to learn about the Drifting Cloud Sect, he would naturally either visit the city market or inquire further upon returning to the State of Xi.
After listening to all their descriptions, Han Li’s face showed satisfaction.
He suddenly swept his sleeve across the table, and after a flash of green light, a pair of glittering golden short spears appeared on the coarse table.
“I appreciate the three of you explaining so much to Han Li.
I don’t have anything too excellent to offer.
This pair of gold-breaking short spears magic tools, I will gift to the three of you,” Han Li said composedly.
“Thank you, senior, for your generous gift.
These…
these are top-grade magic tools?” Huang Yuanming glanced at the pair of golden spears, quickly bowed deeply in thanks, and expressed great joy.
For their three families, not all owned a top-grade magic tool.
In total, they had only a few, each treasured immensely.
Now, merely by answering Han Li’s questions, they easily obtained such treasures, naturally causing them a mix of surprise and joy.
“Although these gold-breaking spears are only top-grade magic tools, when used in combination, they’re hardly inferior to peak-grade magic tools.
I acquired them by chance many years ago and found them quite interesting, so I’ve kept them since then.
Now, gifting them to you doesn’t constitute a waste.
Hehe!
Now that I’ve given you benefits, I won’t stay much longer.
Perhaps we might meet again if fate allows,” Han Li briefly explained the power of the spears, chuckled softly, his whole body emitted a brilliant light, suddenly transformed into a green rainbow flying out of the hall.
After several flashes, he vanished without a trace.
The three elders were stunned, not expecting Han Li to leave without dragging his feet.
The torrent of gratitude they were about to express had to be swallowed back.
Then, the gazes of the three simultaneously fell on the pair of golden spears on the table.
“This senior is really generous, to give away a pair of top-grade magic tools so easily,” the round-faced elder murmured as he stared at the golden spears.
“It depends on who it is.
Top-grade magic tools are indeed rare treasures for us, but for this senior, they’re simply not worth mentioning,” the white-robed elder, who spoke the least among them, suddenly said with a strange expression.
“Brother Wang, what do you mean by that?
From your tone, it sounds like you recognize this senior!” Huang Yuanming was stirred and asked spontaneously.
The round-faced elder also looked at the white-robed elder in surprise.
“Brother Huang, you and others are clever but can be confused at times.
This person came out and directly asked about Devilfall Valley and the demons.
With such youth and high cultivation, and claiming the surname Han.
Don’t you realize who he is?
Don’t forget, besides the Nascent Soul cultivators who died in Devilfall Valley while besieging those demons, was there not a very famous person who went missing?” the white-robed elder said with a wry smile.
“Are you talking about that person, Senior Han?” Once reminded, Huang Yuanming’s face drastically changed as he spoke in shock.
The round-faced elder also came to a realization, showing a face full of astonishment,
“Now, do my two elder brothers understand my point?
This senior is only next to the three great cultivators, that’s why he is so generous.”
“After Brother Wang mentioned it, it does seem quite likely.
However, regardless of whether it is Senior Han or not, it makes no difference to us.
Even if we wanted to associate with such a person, a cultivator of his standing would not care about our families.
Receiving two top-grade magic tools is already an unexpected joy, probably given by this senior as a favor for disturbing the Spiritual Spring.
Let us now discuss how to deal with this pair of golden spears,” Huang Yuanming said with a sigh after a moment of silence, his words still carrying a hint of helplessness.
Although the opportunity was rare, a being of Han Li’s caliber was simply too high to reach for them.
Therefore, even though they felt disappointed, they had no regrets.
Hearing Huang Yuanming mention the pair of golden spears, the other two elders also temporarily set aside the matter of Han Li’s identity, turning their attention towards the golden spears, as the ownership of the present artifacts was the tangible benefit they could grasp.
The three immediately began a lengthy discussion about the ownership and use of the two golden spears.
…
Leaving aside the elders’ discussion on dividing the treasures, Han Li naturally did not know that he had been recognized by the three old folks, as he had already appeared hundreds of miles away.
This time, he had fortunately come out of the tears in space and did not immediately run off to the State of Dongyu, which was also a stroke of luck.
After all, the point where the space broke was drifting and fluctuating.
It would not have been strange if it appeared thousands of miles away.
“Young man, where do you plan to go next?
Go directly back to Drifting Cloud Sect?
Don’t forget, I had requested materials for crafting puppets, and some are still missing.
They must be collected,” Monarch Great Development’s voice suddenly sounded in Han Li’s mind.
“I’m well aware of that.
However, the materials you want are not easy to find in this world.
I estimate that even the entirety of Tian Luo would not be sufficient to collect them all.
This is not something that can be done quickly!” Han Li furrowed his brows and spoke somewhat helplessly.
“Hmph!
Do you think I can wait another seventy or eighty years?
If you can’t find the materials in Tian Luo, then take a trip to Great Jin.
There, as long as you have enough Spirit Stones, what kind of rare materials can’t you find?
I’m telling you in advance, if you can’t refine that puppet in front of me, I’d rather destroy the refining formula than leave it to you after my soul dissipates,” Monarch Great Development said somewhat annoyed.
“Don’t worry.
Even if you didn’t mention it, I was going to make a trip to Great Jin.
Didn’t you say that I originally carried too much Evil Qi, and using the Blood Devil Sword repeatedly has deeply entangled me with demonic energy?
If not removed promptly, it will not only gradually harm my body, but also prevent me from advancing in the Mid Nascent Soul Stage,” Han Li sighed and said gloomily.
“As long as you understand.
I found it strange when I first saw you.
How could someone so young be tainted with such deep Evil Qi?
I was not a merciful person in my early years, yet the Evil Qi on me was not a tenth of yours.
Tsk tsk, truly unbelievable.
Perhaps you should switch to practicing devilish arts instead.
This Evil Qi could actually help you advance your cultivation further.
Of course, when you reach the Divinity Transformation Stage, the realm you ascend to won’t be the spirit realm, but the Ancient Devil Realm,” Monarch Great Development, obviously capricious, now began to tease Han Li with a strange laugh.
