Wang Yu
Chapter 1187: Exit from Seclusion
"Gu Huojin seems to have discerned some anomalies in the Heavenly Dao and wants to use my power to help him see his own future… However, this behavior itself goes against the Heavenly Dao, and I cannot help him. Moreover, I have never liked the Heavenly Court's actions, so naturally, I will not assist a tyrant… You will inherit this power in the future, but you must use it cautiously, because the price is too great," Mo Yu said slowly after pondering for a moment.
"Dad, why did only Uncle Yuan Gang act in the entire Wildlands Domain? Didn't Bai Ze also say that he was your close friend? Why didn't he offer you a helping hand?" Xiao Bai nodded and continued to ask after a moment of silence.
"Don't blame him for this matter. I didn't let him take action. Once the other True Spirit Kings are also involved, it will provoke a war between the Wildlands Domain and the Immortal World. At that time, it won't just be a single region that is shattered. I'm afraid that most of the Immortal Domain and Wildlands will be filled with rivers of blood. The peace that we have worked so hard to secure for the Wildlands cannot be destroyed like this," Mo Yu sighed and said.
Xiao Bai fell silent again after hearing these words.
"It's really great to be able to tell you all this in person. The name Xiao Bai is quite good. You can still be called Mo Xiaobai in the future…" Mo Yu said slowly with a hint of a smile on his face.
"Yes, I am still me, still Xiao Bai…"
…
Time passed, and years went by. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years had passed.
On the plaza within the Asura Blood Gate, the eight stone pillars had dimmed, and the aura of flesh and blood in the surrounding void had also become very faint.
Several figures were scattered in the center of the plaza, divided into several small groups, whispering to each other, each with different expressions and complexions.
The largest group was the Tianhu Clan, including Liu Qing, Hu San, and Liu Le'er. Yuan Shanbai and Pixiu Xiaobai stood beside them. Liu Zizai and the Good Corpse were nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Xiao Bai was no longer the white dog he once was. He had transformed into a fair-skinned and handsome, albeit immature, young man with a golden vertical line between his eyebrows, resembling a closed vertical eye.
Yuan Shanbai, who was standing beside him, had also undergone great changes. Some of the simian features had become less pronounced, and his original protruding fangs had transformed into two canine teeth, making him appear more endearing.
The most significant change was in Liu Le'er. Golden patterns resembling flower petals had appeared between her eyebrows, and her figure had become increasingly graceful and lithe. She exuded a charm that was not bewitching but made it difficult for people to look away.
Not far from them, Qing Dian and the young master of the Zouwu Clan stood together, their figures becoming increasingly burly and tall.
The horns on Qing Dian's head had disappeared, and he looked more and more like the True Spirit King Zhuyan.
The young master of the Zouwu Clan had completely transformed into a human form. No specific changes could be seen for the time being, but his aura had clearly increased significantly.
Those who had inherited the bloodline of the True Spirit Kings would experience a rapid increase in strength in the short term. More importantly, their future path would be promising, their cultivation path would be smoother, and their speed would be unmatched by other clansmen.
The last group consisted of only Li Qima, who was leaning against a stone pillar, looking at the giant door at the back of the plaza.
"Why hasn't that guy come out yet?" he thought to himself.
"Time is almost up. The Asura Blood Gate is about to close. I think Han Li's boy is probably already dead inside," Qing Dian said loudly to the young master of the Zouwu Clan with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, a mere human dares to overestimate his capabilities. Not only does he make a fool of himself, but he also loses his life in vain. Is it worth it?" the young master of the Zouwu Clan deliberately asked, then burst into unrestrained laughter.
"You're talking nonsense. He won't die," Xiao Bai rebuked angrily.
"Whether he dies or not is not up to us. In half an hour, the three giant doors will disappear, and the Asura Blood Gate will close. He will die even if he doesn't want to, haha…" Qing Dian said with undisguised pleasure, laughing.
"It's a bit of a pity to think about it…" the young master of the Zouwu Clan said with a smile on his face, but his words were filled with regret.
After all, they had just inherited the bloodline of the True Spirit King, and their strength had greatly increased. They wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Han Li and avenge their previous grudges. With Han Li's death, they would naturally have no chance.
Xiao Bai's anger intensified upon hearing this, and he was about to rush up and argue with them.
Yuan Shanbai, who had recently become his friend, frowned and followed behind him.
"Let them talk. When Brother comes out later, they will know how much their faces will be slapped," Liu Le'er said leisurely, stopping them.
She was the only one present who fully believed that Han Li would return safely.
For no other reason than that Han Li was the one who gave her the greatest sense of security when she was displaced in the Lower Realm. From the bottom of her heart, she would always believe in Han Li.
It was a belief, even if the possibility was low, she still believed.
Liu Qing could only sigh silently upon seeing this.
After this series of events, his view of Han Li had completely changed. Although he still didn't think he could be compared to the current Liu Le'er, he was willing to regard him as a powerful ally of their Tianhu Clan.
But all of this had a prerequisite, which was that he could walk out of that door alive. Unfortunately, entering the inheritance gate of the Eight Great True Spirit Kings was not so easy.
Hu San remained silent, his face unreadable, but he was also quite worried in his heart.
Time passed bit by bit. Although it was only half an hour, everyone felt it was very long. The closer it got to the final moment, the more Liu Le'er hoped that time would slow down.
The golden flames in front of the three red copper giant doors had long been extinguished, but the doors had not opened.
"Haha, are you still waiting? He's dead…" Qing Dian laughed loudly.
"Let's go. There's no need to wait anymore," the young master of the Zouwu Clan shouted and turned to leave.
In his opinion, the excitement here was over, and the guy he hated was obviously finished.
However, at the moment he turned around, a heavy creaking sound came from behind. The central red copper giant door actually opened.
The young master of the Zouwu Clan paused and turned back to look. He saw a blood-red mist mixed with a prehistoric aura surging out from the crack in the door. A tall figure, like a night traveler in the wind and snow, walked out from it, wrapped in a snow-like mist.
He was almost as tall as the door, his body flashing with red and black light. Tortoise shell-like scales could be seen on his body. Six huge arms supported the heavy door, and three huge heads grew on his shoulders.
The left and right heads resembled apes and tigers, respectively, which were the heads of Zhuyan and Taowu. The one in the middle was shaped like a true dragon but slightly different, which was the head of Xuangui.
This person was naturally none other than Han Li.
Now, his Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Technique had reached perfection. He had mastered all three heads and six arms transformed from the four Demon God statues. The aura of flesh and blood emanating from his body was terrifyingly powerful.
At this moment, he was more like a Wildlands True Spirit than all the surrounding Wildlands True Spirits.
"How… how is this possible…" Qing Dian muttered to himself.
The young master of the Zouwu Clan was stunned and speechless.
They had previously wanted to use the bloodline they had inherited to overwhelm Han Li and humiliate him. The thought of doing so had vanished the moment they saw him appear.
"Is this really a human?" Liu Qing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Li Qima's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't say anything, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
"Brother…" Liu Le'er didn't care about these things and called out happily.
Xiao Bai and Yuan Shanbai went up to greet him one after the other.
Han Li's figure rapidly shrank and quickly returned to his human form. His naked upper body shone brightly, and amazing flesh and blood aura emanated from the Xuan窍 that had been opened.
"This… there must be more than a thousand Xuan窍, right? His physical body has been strengthened to such an extent?" Hu San's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in his heart.
After a dozen breaths, the light on Han Li's body gradually dimmed, and all the amazing aura began to converge. All the abnormalities disappeared, and everything finally returned to calm.
Han Li exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and took out a green robe to put it on.
As he walked out slowly, his body suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the third door behind him.
The moment his eyes fell on it, the surrounding scenery changed instantly. He seemed to see another Wildlands world. He did not see any Wildlands beasts in it, but he felt an unprecedentedly pure aura.
That was the true Wildlands aura, a kind of unconstrained, non-doing, and non-daoing primordial aura. It was as if there were no rules in the world, and everything remained in the state of the primordial beginning of the universe.
Before he could investigate further, a terrifying tearing force suddenly came from it, as if it would devour him directly and tear him into pieces in the next moment.
Han Li was shocked and instantly woke up. His body trembled slightly, and cold sweat was streaming down his forehead.
When he looked at everyone again, he found that the space-time of that moment had seemed to freeze, and everyone was unaware of his strangeness.
Han Li exclaimed in his heart. He didn't dare to look at the third giant door even once and quickly walked towards everyone.
"Why did it take you so long to come out?" Xiao Bai complained.
"Sorry, I made you worry," he said with a bright smile, looking at Xiao Bai and the others.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire void began to tremble violently. The three red copper giant doors rumbled and sank towards the ground until they disappeared.
The plaza with the eight stone pillars also began to blur and disappear little by little.
"Let's go. We'll talk about it outside," Han Li said and grabbed Xiao Bai and the other two, rushing towards the Asura Blood Gate.
