Not long after, Han Li landed on an open space in the mountain forest, his lips curving into a slight smile as he scanned his surroundings.

"Your Excellency is playing a good game, planning to wait for the person in the forbidden area to fight it out with us, preferably both sides seriously injured, before secretly sneaking back to reap the benefits?" Han Li tilted his head, glanced at a towering ancient tree hundreds of feet away, and said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly figure slowly walked out from behind the ancient tree, the very person who had fled earlier.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, chasing after me alone, I'm afraid it's not a wise move," the man said with a chuckle.

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fists tightly, a crystal clear light faintly lingering on the tips of his fists, and a series of popping sounds like firecrackers rang out in his body, making his whole body appear to have grown taller.

"If I hadn't come alone, Your Excellency probably wouldn't have shown yourself so easily," Han Li said with a light smile.

As he spoke, he took a step back, raised a fist, tucked it at his waist, adopted a casual boxing stance, and looked at the man with a calm gaze.

"Then let's try!"

The man chuckled, and with a lunge, his figure shot out like lightning, appearing less than a hundred feet in front of Han Li in the blink of an eye, and punched towards Han Li.

Seven blue star patterns on his chest and abdomen shone brightly, emitting large swaths of starlight, and his entire arm seemed to suddenly become thicker, his fist as crystal clear as jade, wrapped in bursts of wind and thunder, creating visible ripples in the void as it passed.

Han Li raised an eyebrow slightly, golden scales already appearing on his arm, and the joints of his fist made a sound like metal rubbing against stone, as he met the man's fist.

"Boom!" A loud crash!

An extremely violent force swept out in all directions with the two of them as the center, stirring up gusts of wind, causing constant explosions in the mountain forest. Wherever the hurricane passed, towering ancient trees exploded from the middle, blasting out countless broken branches and sawdust, collapsing with a loud crash.

The burly man flew backward, taking more than a dozen steps back before stabilizing his figure, looking at Han Li, who hadn't moved an inch, with surprise in his eyes, and exclaimed:

"You're also a Profound Immortal?"

"Is that so strange?" Han Li smiled and said leisurely.

"No wonder Your Excellency dared to exchange blows with me so boldly. I was careless," the burly man said, his eyes flashing a few times.

After all, for a Profound Immortal, being able to get close to a cultivator of the same cultivation level naturally gives them a great advantage, but if the other party is also a Profound Immortal, it naturally becomes meaningless.

"I saw that Your Excellency's punch just now didn't seem to be your full strength. How about trying a full-strength punch?" Han Li said calmly.

"Since Your Excellency wants to try, then I will gladly oblige," the burly man said upon hearing this, changing his previous arrogant demeanor and becoming somewhat polite.

After saying that, the seven blue star patterns on his chest and abdomen lit up again, followed by blue light spots lighting up on his shoulders, arms, waist, and other parts of his body.

Han Li counted them and found that, without seeing his back, there were as many as eighteen blue light spots.

This time, it was his turn to be a little surprised.

He furrowed his brows slightly, and this time he didn't wait for the other party to attack first, but instead took a step forward, golden scales appearing on his arm, and blue light lighting up under the clothes on his chest, revealing seven stars.

"Oh, Lesser Dipper Stellar Origin Technique…" the burly man exclaimed softly, revealing the body refining technique that Han Li was using.

However, neither of them stopped, and both punched towards each other.

A deafening boom sounded!

Dust filled the sky, swept in all directions by waves of air like torrents. Within a thousand feet, the forests were completely destroyed, the surroundings became extremely open, and no trees could block the figures of the two of them.

The figures of Han Li and the burly man both retreated violently, their feet plowing deep ravines several feet deep into the ground, creating a distance of hundreds of feet before they stopped.

"Does Your Excellency want to continue fighting?" Han Li leaped up from the ravine, suspended in mid-air, looking down at the burly man, and asked.

The burly man remained standing on the spot, without any movement. In front of his forehead, a dark, huge halo had appeared at some point, constantly rotating and releasing waves of palpitating Law fluctuations.

He looked up at Han Li, sighed softly, retracted his fists, and the light on his body also disappeared.

"Who exactly are you, Your Excellency, and why do you cultivate the Lesser Dipper Stellar Origin Technique?" the burly man asked with some confusion.

"Why don't you answer me a question first? Why have you opened up so many Mysterious Cavities in your Lesser Dipper Stellar Origin Technique?" Han Li didn't answer, but instead asked with a smile.

"What do you plan to do with me, Fellow Daoist Leng Yan?" the burly man asked, also without answering.

"What do you want me to do with you, Fellow Daoist Leng Yan?" Han Li's eyes narrowed, and he said through voice transmission.

The burly man trembled upon hearing this, his eyes filled with disbelief. After staring at Han Li for a long time, he tentatively asked through voice transmission: "Are you… Fellow Daoist Han Li?"

"Fellow Daoist Leng Yan is indeed intelligent, able to guess my identity so quickly," Han Li didn't deny it, but generously admitted it.

"To be honest, I obtained this Lesser Dipper Stellar Origin Technique by chance in an ancient ruin in the Immortal Domain in my early years. I'm afraid there is no inheritance of it outside. Therefore, the chance of encountering someone who also cultivates this technique is extremely small. In addition, I sensed a slight feeling of familiarity from Fellow Daoist, so I made this inference. I just didn't expect that after Fellow Daoist ascended, you would advance to the mid-stage True Immortal so quickly. It's truly unbelievable," Leng Yan Old Ancestor sighed softly and said through voice transmission, his lips slightly moving.

"That's probably the result of chance and fate. Before we talk about other things, please, Fellow Daoist Leng Yan, answer my questions first. Why have you condensed so many Mysterious Cavities?" Han Li didn't plan to reminisce or talk about his experiences over the years, but asked directly.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor's expression changed slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist is not a muddle-headed person, so you shouldn't have any intention of hiding or deceiving me? After all, you have experienced my Divine Sense, and we can be considered acquaintances. Don't force me to use some soul-searching methods on you," Han Li said meaningfully, taking in his expression changes.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor glanced at the Heavy Water True Wheel, which was still hovering menacingly above his head, calmed his mind, and said:

"I wouldn't dare. The Lesser Dipper Stellar Origin Technique that Fellow Daoist Han is cultivating is actually related to a body refining technique that I accidentally obtained in a ruin. When I started cultivating this technique, I had some insights and organized a reduced version myself, leaving it for my sect's descendants to practice, wanting to use it to improve the strength of my sect."

"Oh, so what is the complete body refining technique that you obtained?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked through voice transmission.

"Its full name is Greater Celestial Stellar Origin Technique. If Fellow Daoist needs it, you can take a copy yourself," Leng Yan Old Ancestor said, flipping his palm over and a cyan stone slab appeared in his palm, handing it to Han Li without hesitation.

Han Li stretched his palm forward, and a wisp of cyan light flowed out from his palm, wrapping the stone slab. After confirming that there was nothing unusual on it, he pulled it back in front of him and carefully examined it.

The stone slab was only the size of a palm, with no front or back, and both sides were covered with dense ancient seal characters.

After examining it for a moment, Han Li suddenly frowned and asked through voice transmission: "If I'm not mistaken, the technique recorded on this stone slab is also incomplete, right?"

"Fellow Daoist, please don't blame me. Back then, in that ancient ruin, I almost risked my life to obtain this half of the Greater Celestial Stellar Origin Technique. As for the other half, I don't have it here either," Leng Yan Old Ancestor quickly explained.

Seeing that the changes in his eyes didn't seem like a pretense, Han Li flipped his palm over, took out a jade slip, placed it on the stone slab, formed a magic seal with one hand, and silently chanted.

After a few breaths, the content of the technique on the stone slab was completely copied into the jade slip.

Han Li summoned the Heavy Water True Wheel back with a wave of his hand, and threw the jade slip to Leng Yan Old Ancestor with his other hand.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor watched Han Li casually put the cyan stone slab that originally belonged to him into his storage bracelet, his expression never changing. He simply raised his hand to take the jade slip and didn't put it away immediately.

"You killed so many people on the island before, you should have received a lot of benefits, right? I advise you to leave the island and return now. Although the Saint Puppet Sect is doomed to failure, the counterattack before its death will definitely be fierce. Those who stay until the end because of a moment of greed may only end up with nothing," Han Li stopped using voice transmission and spoke directly.

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist. I also have this intention," Leng Yan Old Ancestor cupped his hands and said.

These words were not empty words. He originally planned to leave after finishing the matter in the forbidden valley.

In fact, Han Li had one more thing he didn't say. Once the Saint Puppet Sect was completely destroyed, the mission of these people temporarily gathered by the Ten Directions Tower would be over, and they would no longer be bound by the Ten Directions Tower in any way.

Even if they didn't erupt on the spot, looting and killing incidents would inevitably occur after they dispersed and left. So, leaving first could avoid a lot of trouble.

Han Li took a deep look at Leng Yan Old Ancestor. Back in the Spirit寰界, he felt that this person was very good at judging the situation and was a very scheming person. Seeing him again today, he felt that this person's mind was calm and smooth, far more able to know when to advance and retreat than those native immortals of the Northern Cold Immortal Domain.

The thought flashed through his mind, and then he turned around and flew back towards the forbidden valley.

Leng Yan Old Ancestor watched Han Li's departing figure, repeatedly stroking the jade slip with his fingers, so forcefully that the tips of his fingers were slightly white.

"How dangerous, how dangerous! How could I have encountered this guy? Fortunately, my brain worked quickly! I have to think twice about this kind of troublesome mission in the future, and don't lose big for small!" He breathed a sigh of relief until Han Li's figure completely disappeared, and muttered to himself.

After speaking, he slowly put away the jade slip, waved his hand to take out a silver flying boat, and leaped onto it without saying a word, driving it away quickly.
