Chapter 1267 Nowhere to Hide

"How are you doing?" the cyan giant bird asked.

"We're okay. The Demonic Cloud is truly terrifying. The illusions of the Heavenly Demons are stronger with each wave, and we almost couldn't resist. Fortunately, you flew out in time, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been completely consumed. The consequences are unimaginable," Xiaobai said, still shaken.

"That's for sure, otherwise why would the Demonic Cloud be known as the most terrifying existence in the outer void? This cloud is actually small. If we encountered a truly large Demonic Cloud, even I wouldn't be able to fly out quickly," the cyan giant bird said.

"I never imagined the outer void was so dangerous... I think it's better to act honestly down below in the future. It's slower, but at least it's safer! By the way, how are you, Master?" Xiaobai murmured upon hearing this, then turned to look at Han Li beside him.

At that moment, Han Li was sitting cross-legged, his brows slightly furrowed, still with his eyes closed and faintly surrounded by a fierce aura.

As if hearing Xiaobai's question, Han Li opened his eyes, and a trace of blood flashed in his pupils.

"Your eyes... could it be that you're controlled by a Heavenly Demon? You Heavenly Demon, quickly get out of my master's body!" Xiaobai was shocked, jumped up, and shouted.

"It's okay. I'm not controlled, just slightly influenced," Han Li said.

Xiaobai looked at Han Li hesitantly, with a worried expression.

"Good lad, I thought that with your current state, you definitely wouldn't be able to break free from the influence of the Heavenly Demon. I didn't expect you to withstand it yourself. But looking at you, it seems that the evil thoughts in your body have erupted and you can't suppress them," the cyan giant bird said with a slight smile.

"Senior has keen eyes. It seems that nothing can be hidden from you," Han Li said with a wry smile.

Although the evil thoughts in his body had not increased, they had not weakened either, and the eruption of these evil thoughts was different from before. No matter how he urged the Time Law, or the Separating Yuan Dharma Chains, he could not suppress them.

"The three corpses of a person are involved in the fundamentals of the Primordial Spirit's beliefs, and are incomparably mysterious. I don't know what means you used or what opportunities you encountered to forcibly summon the Evil Corpse before your cultivation reached the level. However, now that it has matured, although you have used some means to suppress it, after being affected by the Demonic Cloud, the eruption is inevitable. You should find a way to cut it off as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later you will be taken over," the cyan giant bird said calmly.

Han Li's expression was uncertain upon hearing this, and he did not speak.

He had considered everything that Yue Mian had said. How could he not want to truly cut off the Evil Corpse in his body, but firstly, his cultivation had not reached the level, and secondly, he had little experience in cutting off corpses, so he really had no confidence.

The cyan giant bird said nothing more, and just buried its head and continued on its way.

After flying for another half day, the cyan giant bird suddenly descended, quickly passing through the Skywind Domain and Azure Underworld Domain again, and arriving near the ground.

The ground below was a lush mountain range, which was already in the Wildlands Domain.

After flying for a while, a magnificent mountain peak stood in front of them, which was Eight Desolate Mountain.

Han Li was secretly shocked by Yue Mian's speed. It had taken him decades to fly from Eight Desolate Mountain to the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain, but Yue Mian had flown back in less than a day.

His eyes suddenly flashed, and he moved and flew down from the cyan giant bird's back, standing in the void. He said to the cyan giant bird:

"Senior Yue, thank you for bringing me back to the Wildlands. It's just that my identity is special, and if I go to Eight Desolate Mountain, I'm afraid I'll be resented again, so I won't go over."

Yue Mian had already stopped when Han Li left the body. An dazzling cyan light surrounded his body, and he instantly returned to human form.

He glanced at Han Li and said calmly:

"As you wish."

"Haha, Little Friend Han has come to my Eight Desolate Mountain, but doesn't come in for a sit, wouldn't that make my Wildlands races seem too rude?" A voice suddenly rang out, and a white figure appeared out of thin air. It was Bai Ze, who said with a smile.

"Senior Bai Ze," Han Li hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Xiaobai also bowed.

"Little Friend Han is indeed extraordinary. He has turned the Nine Elements Temple upside down. Li Yuanjiu is such a character, but he has suffered such a big loss. How delightful, truly delightful!" Bai Ze laughed.

"That's for sure. Master and I joined forces and killed our way in and out of the Nine Elements Temple, leaving two of the Nine Elements Temple's four Holy Envoys fleeing in disgrace," Xiaobai said triumphantly.

"That was all done by the Reincarnation Palace. I just happened to be there and participated," Han Li said casually, ignoring Xiaobai's boasting.

"It's not easy to get involved in the great vortex of the Nine Elements Temple and be able to retreat unscathed. Speaking of which, Little Friend was only at the Taiyi Peak when he left, but now he has reached the Great Luo Initial Stage, and he is not far from the Middle Stage. With a mere human body, he can have such a cultivation speed. Even you and I back then were not so fast, right?" Bai Ze said to Yue Mian with a smile.

"Senior is too kind," Han Li said calmly.

"Little Friend Han is still so modest. Opportunity is also part of strength. I want to thank Little Friend for taking care of Xiaobai during this trip to the Nine Elements Temple and sending him back safely." Bai Ze shook his head and smiled, then pulled Xiaobai over, looked at him, and said to Han Li.

"Xiaobai is my friend. I should protect him. Moreover, Xiaobai has powerful abilities and is enough to protect himself, so I didn't do anything. As for being able to return to the Wildlands Domain safely, it's all thanks to Senior Yue Mian," Han Li said with a smile.

"I won't say thank you, but since Little Friend Han has come to Eight Desolate Mountain, let's go in for a sit," Bai Ze said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Senior, but I am currently ill and want to find a place to cultivate immediately. Please forgive me, Senior Bai Ze," Han Li said with a bow.

Bai Ze looked Han Li up and down, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes, and then said:

"Since Little Friend Han really has something to do, then I won't force you to stay here. Thirty thousand miles east of here, there is a Emerald Cloud Mountain Range. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth there is rich, and no Wildlands tribes occupy it. You can go there to seclude yourself."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Bai Ze," Han Li said joyfully, bowing in thanks.

"Master, I'll go with you. King Bai Ze, since the Emerald Cloud Mountain Range is not far from here, I can cultivate there as well, right?" Xiaobai said anxiously, looking at Bai Ze.

"No, I have already arranged your next cultivation, and you must stay here at Eight Desolate Mountain," Bai Ze said with a stern face.

"Okay," Xiaobai didn't pester him this time.

"Two Seniors, Xiaobai, then I'll take my leave first," Han Li cupped his hands to the three of them and turned into a golden rainbow, flying towards the east.

Bai Ze and the other two watched Han Li leave and also fell towards Eight Desolate Mountain.

Han Li headed east, and after a while, he arrived at the Emerald Cloud Mountain Range.

The mountains and stones here are all emerald green, which looks quite unique. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is, as Bai Ze said, very rich, and it is not as restless as other places. It is indeed an excellent place for him to seclude himself for cultivation.

After calming himself down, Han Li looked for a cliff, simply opened up a cave, and set up forbidden magic arrays around it.

After doing all this, he raised his hand and summoned the Gate of Space, turned around and flew in, and came to the Flower Branch Space.

Soul Shrieker and Golden Boy seemed to have been waiting at the entrance. Seeing Han Li appear, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Soul Shrieker, you already know the situation of the Demonic Cloud before. Now, try to help me, and see if you can suppress the evil thoughts," Han Li said, then sat down cross-legged in place and closed his eyes.

Soul Shrieker nodded, pressed his hand on top of Han Li's head, and a dark red light shone brightly, forming a light curtain that covered Han Li's head.

After Han Li groaned, the Immortal Apertures all over his body lit up, flickering uncertainly, and a rolling black evil aura surged out, surrounding his body, like a substance.

These evil auras disappeared with a sizzle as soon as they touched the dark red light curtain covering Han Li's body.

Even so, the evil aura surging out of Han Li's body did not decrease but increased, as if it was growing more and more.

This time, Golden Boy obviously realized the strangeness in Han Li's body. She wisely didn't say anything, just stood guard quietly, watching Han Li without blinking, intending to protect the two of them.

However, after three days and three nights, the evil aura surrounding Han Li's body did not weaken at all.

Golden Boy looked anxious, and her eyes kept scanning back and forth between Han Li and Soul Shrieker. She couldn't help but want to speak several times, but she finally held back.

She knew that Han Li was now at a critical juncture and could not tolerate any mistakes, but she was secretly annoyed that although she had great magical powers now, she couldn't help Han Li at all.

"Uncle, you must be okay!" Golden Boy said silently in her heart.

"Soul Shrieker, stop," Han Li suddenly opened his eyes and said calmly.

"Master, the evil thoughts in your body seem to be different from before," Soul Shrieker said after withdrawing his hand and hesitating.

"You noticed it too," Han Li said with a wry smile, without telling Soul Shrieker the details, and raised his hand to stop Golden Boy, who was about to speak.

Evil thoughts are now haunting his body, and it seems that they cannot be eliminated. The only way is to go for broke and cut them off as soon as possible, and advance to the Great Luo Middle Stage.

But how easy is it to cut off a corpse?

He didn't have a master who could guide him. The last time Ancestor Mi Luo lectured him, because of the time, he didn't mention the matter of cutting off the corpse. It seemed that he could only rely on his own exploration.

Han Li pondered for a moment, quickly put away his thoughts, and said to Soul Shrieker and Golden Boy:

"I'm going to open the Time Difference Space to seclude myself and break through the remaining Immortal Apertures to advance to the Great Luo Middle Stage as soon as possible. You don't have to worry too much about me, just cultivate well. Now, apart from this corner of the Wildlands, the True Immortal Realm is vast, but there is no place for me to stay. If your strength can be improved by one point, you will be able to help me better in the future."

As he spoke, he opened his Spirit Domain, covering the surrounding space of more than ten feet.

As Han Li urged the Mantra Treasure Wheel, cooperating with the Light Yin Heavenly Compass Array, and using the Time Difference Space, the flow of time around him immediately accelerated by ten thousand times.

Although Soul Shrieker and Golden Boy were still a little worried about Han Li's current situation, after a slight hesitation, they still sat down cross-legged to the left and right of Han Li and began to cultivate.
