The mountain range that appeared before Han Li and the others stretched endlessly, with many towering peaks reaching into the clouds. However, the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy was not particularly dense, and there were relatively few demonic beasts and fierce creatures, making it seem somewhat lifeless.

Such a place had nothing of value, so naturally, cultivators would not set foot here.

As soon as Hu Yan Daoren entered this mountain range, his whole person immediately became a lot more relaxed. He would occasionally recite a poem aloud, pleased with himself, and sometimes introduce Han Li and the others to some interesting wonders in the mountains that he considered quite interesting.

Han Li didn't pay much attention to it at first, but seeing Nangong Wan listening with great interest, occasionally pointing out some of her own discoveries, which caused Hu Yan Daoren to exclaim "Wonderful!"

So Han Li also calmed down and carefully comprehended Hu Yan Daoren's current state of mind, and found that it had a special flavor. He also occasionally put forward some of his own views, which, due to different perspectives, also led to a discussion between Hu Yan and Nangong Wan.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and under the leadership of Hu Yan Daoren, they circled around in the mountains for most of the day, finally landing in front of a hidden mountain peak.

In fact, from a long distance away, Han Li had felt the difference of this mountain peak.

It wasn't that this mountain peak was really significantly different from the surrounding mountain peaks, but that this peak was covered with some rather clever restrictions. I'm afraid that cultivators below the Taiyi realm might not be able to detect it, let alone break in.

Hu Yan Daoren turned his hand and took out a white token, shook it gently, and a white light shot out and disappeared into the void in front of the mountain col.

After a slight fluctuation in the void, a white crack appeared, inside was a white blur, and it was impossible to see what it was.

"Please, you two."

Hu Yan Daoren said, leading the two of them into the white crack.

Han Li only felt that the scenery in front of him had changed drastically, and what appeared in front of him was a quiet and unique small valley.

Several exquisite two- or three-story bamboo buildings were built in the valley. One side of the bamboo building was a large bamboo forest and a clear stream connecting to a pond, which looked very quiet. There were also many fairy birds and spiritual beasts living in the forest and by the stream.

On the other side, there were several nursery gardens and some exotic flowers and plants, and there were two figures busy in them.

"Eh!"

With a soft exclamation, the two people who were busy in the nursery gardens got up and walked towards Han Li and the others.

One of them was Yun Ni, and the other was a graceful and beautiful girl.

Han Li was no stranger to this girl, it was Bai Suyuan.

After many years, Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan's cultivation had improved a lot. Yun Ni had reached the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm, and Bai Suyuan had even reached the Golden Immortal realm, and the aura fluctuations around her were mysterious, obviously she was practicing an extraordinary Gongfa.

"Who is it? It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li. Hu Yan has been looking forward to these years. As long as he drinks, he will talk about you." Yun Ni showed a smile on her face and greeted him.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, long time no see." Han Li returned a salute.

"Senior Li, I have not been able to repay the great kindness of taking me to the Zhulong Dao back then. Please accept my bow." Bai Suyuan's eyes flickered, and she stepped forward and gave a big salute.

"Miss Suyuan, you don't have to be so polite." Han Li smiled slightly and raised his hand.

Bai Suyuan's body was held up by an invisible potential, and she stood up involuntarily.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly glanced at Han Li twice, and then smiled slightly at Nangong Wan, her bright eyes flickering, as if guessing why the woman in front of her was so lucky to have clung to Li Feiyu.

A trace of shock flashed in the depths of Yun Ni's eyes. Being able to lift a Golden Immortal so easily, even ordinary Taiyi realm cultivators could not do it.

Han Li then introduced Nangong Wan to Yun Ni and the other, and after some greetings, they entered the second floor of one of the bamboo buildings.

The building was quite spacious, and the furnishings were simple but elegant. Through the window, you could have a panoramic view of the entire valley, full of emerald green, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

After a few people sat down, Han Li immediately asked why Hu Yan Daoren and others lived here.

"This is a long story. Our family originally lived in seclusion in a remote place in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory. As a result, a large number of Gray Immortals suddenly invaded the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, causing chaos in the cultivation world. The place where we lived was also affected, so we had to escape quickly. Fellow Daoist Feng Yi unfortunately died due to some reasons. After that, we went through some twists and turns before finally arriving in the Black Soil Immortal Territory." Hu Yan Daoren sighed, seeming unwilling to mention it too much.

Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan's expressions also darkened when they heard this.

Han Li sighed in his heart when he heard this.

Under the turmoil of the True Immortal World, many Immortal Territories were affected, making the already bumpy road of cultivation even more rugged. Those with weak strength lacked the power to protect themselves, and they would die if they said they would die. Myriad years of cultivation may return to dust in one day.

As the nominal official force of the True Immortal World, the Heavenly Court is still preparing for the so-called Bodhi Feast, and the major Immortal Territories are also actively planning for this matter, and do not seem to pay much attention to what happens in the various unimportant small Immortal Territories.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Da Luo realm powerhouses, and even some Dao Ancestors, the low-level cultivators of the entire True Immortal World are like ants, and their life and death are naturally irrelevant.

"After we came to the Black Soil Immortal Territory, we heard that the Illusion Mist Swamp was once the site of the True Words Sect. After it was destroyed by the Heavenly Court thousands of years ago, it has been rarely visited since then, so we simply settled down nearby. You see, the environment here is good, right?" Hu Yan Daoren continued.

"A winding path leads to a secluded place, with mountain scenery and pool shadows. It is indeed a paradise." Han Li nodded, looked back at Nangong Wan, who was also looking at him, her bright eyes also hiding a trace of expectation, but it was only a fleeting moment.

Han Li sighed secretly in his heart, and quietly stretched out a hand and patted Nangong Wan's palm gently.

He knew that Nangong Wan had experienced many twists and turns and ascended from the Spirit World to the True Immortal World. Although she also had the heart to seek the Tao and longevity, a large part of the reason was to be able to reunite with him.

Although Nangong Wan didn't say it explicitly, as someone who had been there, he knew the trace of weariness hidden in Nangong Wan's heart.

Who would have thought that after the hard work of cultivating in the Human World and the Spirit World, ascending to become a True Immortal with perfect merit was just the beginning of another path of cultivation?

Moreover, this road is more difficult and longer.

Even, there is no end in sight...

It's just that this woman has always been strong-willed and knows the overall situation, knowing that Han Li is now in a situation where there is no turning back, and it is impossible to accompany her for a long time.

During this period of traveling around, Han Li could feel Nangong Wan's affection for him, and her cherishing of the time they spent together.

Whenever he thought of this, a strange warmth would surge in his heart.

Nangong Wan seemed to have felt the heart in Han Li's eyes, nodded slightly to Han Li, and there was also some determination in her eyes.

This exchange of glances between the two was only a breath's time, but it was better than a thousand words, everything was understood without saying a word.

Hu Yan Daoren then asked about Han Li's experiences over the years. After the three of them came to the Black Soil Immortal Territory, they had been living in seclusion and rarely went to the major cities, so they had not seen the news of the Heavenly Court chasing Han Li.

Seeing that the three of them didn't know about his affairs, Han Li didn't want to involve them, so he only said that he had been cultivating in the Black Mountain Immortal Territory, and didn't say anything else. This time he came to the Illusion Mist Swamp to explore the True Words Sect ruins.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Yan, what you said just now, the Heavenly Court destroyed the True Words Sect ruins here thousands of years ago, what exactly is going on?" Han Li asked.

"Senior Li, this is what I specifically inquired about from the nearby sect forces after we came here. It is said that several groups of people came at that time. In addition to the Heavenly Court, there seemed to be other forces who searched the True Words Sect ruins inside and out, and should be looking for something. In the end, I don't know if they found it or not, but they destroyed this place together with the spiritual veins." Bai Suyuan had been listening quietly, and suddenly spoke at this time.

"It does seem like the Heavenly Court's actions... It's meaningless to talk about these things, so let's not talk about them. Fellow Daoist Hu Yan, why has your cultivation regressed so much?" Han Li changed the subject and asked about Hu Yan Daoren's cultivation.

Yun Ni's expression changed, but she didn't speak.

Bai Suyuan, who was on the side, lowered her head when she heard this.

"It's nothing really. When I first arrived in the Black Soil Immortal Territory, I happened to meet an enemy. This person's cultivation was on par with mine. After a fight, I injured him, but I was also seriously injured by him, which led to a sharp drop in my cultivation." Hu Yan Daoren smiled, completely not taking the decline of his cultivation to heart.

"I see." Han Li just nodded slightly, knowing that Hu Yan Daoren's seemingly ordinary words must contain some unspeakable secrets, but since the other party didn't want to say more, he naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

"Let's not talk about this, let's get back to the topic. Li boy, these years I have picked some spiritual materials from the Black Soil Immortal Territory, and brewed several kinds of good wine, let's taste them together." Hu Yan Daoren stood up and smiled.

"Hu Yan, times have changed, things are different, why do you still use the old name to call Fellow Daoist Li?" Yun Ni felt Han Li's unfathomable cultivation, and seeing Hu Yan Daoren still calling him boy, a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly interjected.

"It's just a title, if Li boy can't see through even this, he wouldn't be able to achieve today's achievements in such a short time." Hu Yan Daoren laughed.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Hu Yan is absolutely right! Everyone here today are old acquaintances and friends, we only talk about romance, sing and drink, why bother about cultivation and seniority." Han Li also laughed.

Yun Ni was a little surprised when she heard this, but she was soon relieved, and there was a smile on her face.

Bai Suyuan's eyes turned back and forth between Hu Yan Daoren and Han Li several times, and her expression unconsciously recovered a bit of ease, but the respect in her eyes towards Han Li was even stronger.

Hu Yan Daoren immediately called Yun Ni and Bai Suyuan to accompany Nangong Wan to visit various places in the valley, while he pulled Han Li to a short building in a remote corner of the valley.

This short building seemed to be the most inconspicuous of the bamboo buildings, but once inside, it was beyond description.

The building was full of various wine gourds, wine jars, wine bottles, and many different materials of wine glasses, which were much richer than before.

When Hu Yan Daoren arrived here, he seemed to have become a different person again, pulling Han Li around and introducing the wine recipes he had collected at great expense over the years, and where he had found some wine utensils.

He could be said to be familiar with these, even more excited than his own cultivation had improved a lot.

It was not until this moment that Han Li felt that the Hu Yan Daoren who "wielded his sword in the red dust, stirred up the wind and clouds, and drank and slept laughing in the world" had returned.
