On the summit of Eight Desolate Mountain, a flash of light appeared, and several figures instantly materialized.

The Asura Blood Gate, which had stood for over a hundred years, finally flashed with light and returned to nothingness.

The dark red restriction on the mountaintop plaza had long been removed, fully basking in the morning light, as if plated with a layer of gold, shimmering with brilliance.

Han Li took a deep breath of fresh air, squinting as he looked at the distant rising sun.

Suddenly, he noticed ripples in the space beside him and quickly turned his head.

The figures flickered, and Bai Ze and Yue Mian appeared.

"Little Friend Han, your physical cultivation has greatly improved, almost reaching perfection. A truly joyous occasion," Bai Ze said, sizing up Han Li with a gleam in his eyes.

Yue Mian also looked at Han Li, his eyes burning with interest.

Han Li felt uncomfortable under Yue Mian's gaze. Sensing the man's aura, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

The man's aura was as deep as the ocean, with no discernible boundaries, in no way inferior to Bai Ze.

"Could this person also be a Dao Ancestor? Right, the summoning formation of the Lightning Roc clan shone brightly earlier. Could this person be the You Tian Kun Peng True Spirit King?"

Thoughts raced through Han Li's mind, but he quickly composed himself, straightened his expression, and bowed to Bai Ze, saying:

"I must thank Senior Bai Ze for his cultivation. Otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to cultivate to my current level."

"It's just a small matter, Little Friend Han, you flatter me," Bai Ze said with a faint smile.

"In your eyes, it may be an insignificant matter, but to me, it is a great favor. In the future, if Senior has any instructions, just ask," Han Li said earnestly.

Bai Ze allowing him to enter the Asura Blood Gate and cultivate his physical body to its current level was a favor no less significant than the guidance of Mi Luo.

"Hehe, since Little Friend Han says so, then I'll make a request. If the Wildlands Realm is ever in trouble in the future, I hope Little Friend Han can help within his power," Bai Ze said with a smile.

Han Li was taken aback. Was Bai Ze thinking too highly of him? The Wildlands Realm now had two True Spirit Kings, Liu Le'er, Xiao Bai, and others had inherited the bloodline of the True Spirit King, their future was limitless, and with the addition of Liu Qing and other Grand Luo, their strength was incredibly powerful.

If the Wildlands was still in trouble with such strength, how powerful would the enemy be? What could he do?

"If there really is such a day, although I may not be able to help much, I will still do my best to assist," Han Li said after a moment of silence, nodding solemnly.

Bai Ze nodded and turned to Yue Mian, introducing him to Han Li: "I was so busy talking that I forgot to introduce you. Little Friend Han, this is the other True Spirit King of our Wildlands Realm, the You Tian Kun Peng Yue Mian. He is very interested in you."

"Han Li greets Senior Yue Mian," Han Li said, thinking, "As expected," and cupped his fist in salute.

The others had also noticed Yue Mian's existence, but none of them had seen him before. Hearing Bai Ze's words, they stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Alright, I'm not Bai Ze, I don't like these formalities. Boy, where did you get the Bloodline Fusion Technique that you cultivate?" Yue Mian waved his hand, staring at Han Li with piercing eyes.

"This junior obtained it from a relic left behind after the death of a Kun Peng clan senior in the Lower Realm," Han Li suddenly felt weak all over, extremely uncomfortable, as if he couldn't control himself, and blurted out.

"A technique obtained in the Lower Realm?" Yue Mian looked surprised, then nodded and shifted his gaze away from Han Li.

Han Li's weakness slowly subsided, and control of his body returned to his hands. He was filled with shock and anger, but also with powerlessness.

Although his strength had greatly improved during this time, he was still helpless against Dao Ancestor-level beings, at their mercy.

But Han Li then thought of Liu Tianhao, who was at the peak of Grand Luo. He was also vulnerable in front of Bai Ze, so what was his current strength?

With that thought, he threw his resentment to the wind.

"Yue Mian, Little Friend Han is not from our Wildlands. If you have something to ask him, ask him properly. How can you control people at will? That's too rude. The reason our Wildlands clans are called barbaric is because they all act as recklessly as you," Bai Ze frowned.

Hearing this, Yue Mian glanced at Han Li, frowned slightly, and hesitated.

"It's alright, Senior Yue Mian is a straightforward person, and he didn't do anything else just now, just asked a question. How could I hold a grudge?" Han Li said with a smile.

"See, Little Friend Han didn't say anything, yet you're the one being fussy," Yue Mian said to Bai Ze with a smile, but in his heart, he felt a little more favorably towards this sensible human junior.

Bai Ze shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.

"Little Friend Han, you possess the Kun Peng bloodline, your strength is good, and your personality suits my taste. Are you interested in becoming my Dao Ancestor Envoy?" Yue Mian turned and smiled at Han Li.

"Dao Ancestor Envoy?" Han Li was stunned. This was the first time he had heard this term.

The surrounding people were immediately in an uproar. Most people looked as confused as Han Li, but a few people like Liu Qing, Qing Dian, and the young master of the Zou Wu clan changed their expressions and looked at Han Li with envy.

Noticing the gazes of the surrounding people, Han Li's eyes flickered.

"Fellow Daoist Han, your cultivation hasn't reached the Grand Luo Realm yet, so you don't know much about Dao Ancestors. Father, Senior Yue Mian, and the other Dao Ancestors need to cultivate in seclusion for many years and rarely show their faces. If the Heavenly Court hadn't been constantly pressing us, Father wouldn't have come out of seclusion. Therefore, Dao Ancestors will choose some talented and powerful people to serve as Dao Ancestor Envoys to convey their will to the outside world and handle some affairs. Becoming a Dao Ancestor Envoy has enormous benefits. First, your status will immediately increase greatly. You'll have a Dao Ancestor-level backer, and basically no one will dare to provoke you. Second, in terms of cultivation, the Dao Ancestor will bestow powerful immortal artifacts to the envoy, teach some great divine abilities, or guide their cultivation, etc. In short, the benefits are countless. It's rare for Senior Yue Mian to favor you. This is a rare opportunity that you must not miss!" Li Qima's voice sounded in Han Li's mind.

Hearing this, Han Li's expression changed repeatedly, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he showed a look of contemplation.

Seeing this, Bai Ze just smiled, and Yue Mian didn't urge him.

"Thank you, Senior Yue Mian, for your appreciation, but this junior has been busy with many personal matters recently and doesn't have enough time to handle them. I can only decline Senior's kindness," Han Li said after a short consideration, bowing slightly.

He had too many secrets and shouldn't get too close to any powerful figure, let alone stay by the side of a Dao Ancestor.

Moreover, he didn't understand this Yue Mian, so he naturally wouldn't just attach himself to him like that.

The surrounding people were shocked to see this scene, and Liu Qing and the others looked at Han Li in disbelief.

"This Han Li has lost his mind. He won't even be a Dao Ancestor Envoy," Qing Dian thought with surprise and joy after seeing Han Li's refusal.

"Idiot," the young master of the Zou Wu clan sneered in his heart.

Yue Mian's eyes flashed when he saw that Han Li had actually rejected him, but he didn't get angry. He just nodded faintly, turned to look elsewhere, and ignored Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed slowly.

Bai Ze took a deep look at Han Li, then turned to look at the others and said, "Alright, the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony has come to a complete end. You should all return to your respective clan areas. The True Immortal Realm is about to be in turmoil. You must accumulate strength to cope with the future changes."

"Yes!" Everyone present agreed in unison, and then they all took their leave.

Qing Dian and the young master of the Zou Wu clan glanced at Han Li coldly and also turned to leave.

Han Li noticed the two people's gazes and frowned slightly.

These two people seemed to hold a deep resentment towards him. Han Li didn't care about their current strength, but these two people had now inherited the bloodline of the True Spirit King, and their strength would definitely improve greatly in the future. It was even possible for them to achieve the Dao Ancestor position.

According to his usual way of doing things, such enemies should be eliminated as soon as possible, but Bai Ze and Yue Mian were both present, so how could he dare to make a move?

"Brother, I just inherited the Saint Ancestor bloodline. Although I cultivated bitterly in the Asura Blood Gate for a hundred years, I still haven't completely fused with my body and need to return to the Heavenly Fox clan to continue my bitter cultivation. It seems like you won't be staying in the Wildlands for long. You must come back to see me in the future," Liu Le'er flew to Han Li's side at this moment, a layer of mist rising in her eyes, looking as if she was about to cry.

"I definitely will," Han Li said with a smile, stroking Liu Le'er's head.

Liu Le'er's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she nodded vigorously, turning to return to the Heavenly Fox clan.

Liu Qing, Hu San, and the others also bid farewell to Han Li, and then the Heavenly Fox clan slowly set off, flying towards the distance.

In the blink of an eye, only Han Li, Xiao Bai, Bai Ze, Yue Mian, and Li Qima remained on the plaza.

"Senior Bai Ze, Senior Yue Mian, thank you for your hospitality during these days, but this junior still has some trivial matters to deal with, so I will also take my leave," Han Li stepped forward, bowed to Bai Ze and Yue Mian, and also took his leave.

He had already been delayed in the Wildlands for more than a hundred years. He didn't know how Jin Tong was doing now, or whether the Reincarnation Palace had begun to attack the Nine Yuan Temple. He had to leave the Wildlands Realm immediately to find out.

"Since Little Friend Han has something to do, then I won't force you to stay," Bai Ze nodded slightly.

"Xiao Bai, although you have broken through to the Grand Luo Realm, the power of your bloodline hasn't completely stabilized yet. You should stay here on Eight Desolate Mountain to cultivate," Bai Ze then said to Xiao Bai, who was standing to the side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but I want to follow my master," Xiao Bai shook his head.

Hearing this, Bai Ze's expression couldn't help but sink.

"Xiao Bai, I didn't know your identity before, so I jokingly took you as a spirit beast. Now that you have inherited the True Spirit bloodline of Senior Ink-Eyed Pi Xiu, your status is noble. There is no need to mention the word 'master' again. Just call me Fellow Daoist," Han Li glanced at Bai Ze and quickly said.

It was fine for Xiao Bai to call him whatever he wanted in private, but he didn't want to offend these two Dao Ancestors in front of Bai Ze and Yue Mian.

"Whether it's master or Fellow Daoist, it's just a form of address. I'm used to calling you master, so there's no need to change," Xiao Bai said, waving his hand.

(Fellow Daoists, Wang Yu is away on a business trip and can only update one chapter today ^^)
