A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 401-Chapter 600)

The white-haired old woman’s expression stirred and she coldly asked, “Even with the transportation formation, won’t we need displacement talismans? Don’t tell us that the Exquisite Sound Sect has already grasped how to refine them?”


“Senior, please don’t be worried. Although our Exquisite Sound Sect cannot refine these talismans, we acquired quite a few of them before the Beast Torrent. We currently have more than enough to send everyone back to the Scattered Star Seas. The most important material for the formation is Phantasm Stone. It is truly rare. Although we’ve found a deposit of this stone during our search for it over these past few years, it happens to be located near the resting area of a group of high grade demon beasts. A majority of them are at grade five and six, and they are great in number. It isn’t something that can be done with a small number of cultivators. Moreover, if any of them are allowed to escape, they will alert higher grade demon beasts, resulting in disaster. Thus, our sect requires everyone’s strength!” Lady Fan spoke with a righteous expression.

After hearing this, the others wore a pensive expression. Cleanly exterminating a group of demon beasts wasn’t something that could be easily agreed to. They had to carefully think about it.

The dark-skinned cultivator muttered to himself for a moment before slowly asking, “Why didn’t you ask a Nascent Soul cultivator for assistance instead of Core Formation cultivators? The certainty of success would’ve been higher.”

“Do you Fellow Daoists think that I didn’t try? However, most of those venerable Seniors had completely vanished after the Beast Torrent. I was only able to get into contact with Senior Swift Crane. With that person joining us, we would’ve been able to deal with the grade seven demon beasts. He was the one who fancied Siyue to be his cultivation vessel.” Lady Fan bitterly smiled and glanced in Han Li’s direction.

When the other cultivators heard this, they looked at each other in dismay.

When Han Li heard this, he rubbed his chin and muttered to himself for a moment. He then promptly said, “I have no interest in this endeavor. Deal with it yourselves.” With that said, he ignored them and headed out.

Wen Siyue didn’t dare to fall behind and quickly followed after him.

Nobody dared to block Han Li. They could only gaze after him as he left.

Lady Fan wore an expression of unconcealed disappointment.

As for Yun Tianxiao, he finally began to speak once more, “Since Fellow Daoist Li is unwilling to assist us, we won’t force any of you either. We will now introduce some information on the demon beasts nearby the Phantasm Stone. Please come to your own decisions after the details have been explained. Here...” As if he hadn’t been heavily injured, Yun Tianxiao began to ceaselessly speak.

…

“Senior, do you truly not wish to return to the Inner Star Seas?” Wen Siyue muttered from behind Han Li.

Without turning his head around, Han Li aloofly replied, “Why? Do you want to return?”

“I also don’t wish to, it’s just...” Wen Siyue’s voice grew soft until she ceased speaking.

At that moment, Han Li had already brought her past the stone wall. Since his objective had already been accomplished, he naturally had no interest in staying here any longer.

Han Li brought Wen Siyue outside of the concealed city, much to the astonishment of the old gatekeeper. He then wrapped the woman in his light and took off into the skies.

Wen Siyue was silent as they flew, and didn’t ask him any questions about their destination. It seemed she was leaving everything entirely up to Han Li.

Han Li also hadn’t thought to give her any further explanation and continued to fly in stifled silence.

Two days later, Han Li eventually found a desolate island with meager spiritual Qi and descended.





Chapter 540: Concubine


The island had several mountains that rose above three hundred meters, and were lush with verdant forestry and filled with many trees.

Han Li circled around the mountains before descending onto one of them with Wen Siyue in tow.

Under the woman’s astonished gaze, Han Li released his flying swords and carved a small cave residence into the mountain after a few hours. Although the cave residence was less than half the size of his cave residence in the misty island and was far more crude, it still had a bedroom, and seclusion room, along with a tool refinement room, medicinal garden and so on.

Han Li appeared quite satisfied and placed down several formation spells around it before bringing Wen Siyue inside.

Han Li brought Wen Siyue into the bedroom and sat on a hurriedly carved stone chair. After examining the woman, he leisurely said, “You will be living here from now on. I will tell you the incantations for the spell formations. This place is quite secluded. If you diligently cultivate, there is a chance you’ll enter Core Formation.”

“Many thanks, Senior Li!” Wen Siyue blushed underneath Han Li’s gaze, appearing to be at a complete loss about what to do.

Han Li smiled, “Senior Li?”

Wen Siyue hastily hung her pretty head and hesitantly said, “Sorry... Should I call you...?”

Having just become his concubine, she didn’t know how she should address him.

Han Li rubbed his nose and indifferently said, “You can call me Mister Li!” Han Li had yet to reveal his true appearance. He had still assumed the form of a middle-aged man.

After a moment of hesitation, Wen Siyue obediently replied, “Yes, Mister Li!”

Han Li nodded his head with satisfaction and thought about what he should say. He then softly asked, “When did Fellow Daoist Wen arrive at the Scattered Star Seas, and how did Lady Fan become the Exquisite Sound Sect’s Sect Leader? According to my knowledge, Fairy Violet Spirit should’ve been the sect leader.”

“Yi! Mister Li seems quite knowledgeable of the sect’s past.” Wen Siyue was quite amazed that Han Li had made inquiries about the Exquisite Sound Sect instead of hurriedly asking about the demon beast nest.

But after some thought, she opened her almond lips and explained, “The Exquisite Sound Sect was entirely managed by the Young Sect Master before we teleported to the Outer Star Seas. But while she was out at Heavenvoid Hall, a startling change occurred when we returned to the sect. The Envoy of the Left disappeared without a trace and all of the power in the sect fell into the hands of an outsider and the Envoy of the Right, Lady Fan. I later discovered that this cultivator was a Devil Dao cultivator and that the Exquisite Sound Sect had already become a vassal of the Devil Dao. In order to establish herself as sect master, Lady Fan immediately gathered together a large number of disciples and sent us through Heavenly Star City’s transportation formation. At the time, I had been coerced into travelling along. Since then, our sect has handled this hidden city. The disloyal female disciples have been mysteriously disappearing over the past few years and those that have been given away were never seen again. Were it not for Mister Li saving my life earlier, I fear I would’ve become a cultivation vessel.” Wen Siyue dimly said.

Han Li’s expression stirred. Hiding his intentions, he asked, “What did your Sect Master Fan do in the Outer Star Seas? It can’t be that she only managed the hidden city!”

“I am not too sure about this. However, Lady Fan and that Devil Dao cultivator surnamed Yun were gathering all sorts of information with the assistance of the hidden city as if they were looking for something.” Wen Siyue spoke with uncertainty and an expression of doubt appeared on her face.
