Just as Han Li was racking his brains for a solution, Gu Yunyue, standing at the bow of the boat, sensed the undisguised fluctuation of magical power from Han Li due to the backlash of his Gongfa, and was startled.

"As expected, he's in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!" she murmured to herself. After a moment's hesitation, she turned around and walked towards him.

Seeing this, Han Li composed himself and stood up.

"It seems that the Hope Rhino Pill was useful to Fellow Daoist Han. Your injuries have almost recovered," Gu Yunyue said gently, her previous coldness mostly gone.

"I must thank Fellow Daoist for the spiritual pill," Han Li replied politely.

"Fellow Daoist Han is too kind. When you truly join our sect, you will naturally be bestowed with other spiritual pills," Gu Yunyue said, waving her hand.

In the time that followed, the woman seemed intent on winning Han Li over, constantly finding topics to chat with him about, trying to shorten the distance between them.

Han Li also learned some more about the Spirit寰界 from her.

After all, his understanding of this world was limited to the knowledge of Bai Shi Laodao, a Core Formation cultivator, and the information provided by a Nascent Soul cultivator was naturally somewhat different.

Regarding some questions about his origins that the woman casually asked, he vaguely brushed them aside.

Seeing that Han Li didn't want to reveal too much, the woman wisely didn't ask any further.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Gu, could you tell me something about the Cold Flame Sect? After all, my understanding of your sect is limited to some rumors from the outside world," Han Li suddenly asked.

"Hehe, even if Fellow Daoist Han didn't ask, I would have told you in detail," Gu Yunyue said, somewhat surprised, but immediately replied.

"My Cold Flame Sect is a famous great sect in the Spirit寰界, founded over a million years ago. There are hundreds of thousands of disciples in the sect. Not to mention Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators, there are dozens of Transformation God and Void Refinement elders, and above them, there are three Body Integration experts and a Grand Ascension Ancestor presiding over the sect."

Speaking of this, Gu Yunyue's expression was full of pride.

Han Li's heart stirred upon hearing this.

With a Grand Ascension expert presiding over it, the strength of the Cold Flame Sect was indeed powerful, almost comparable to a large clan in the Spirit World.

"And our sect's founding ancestor, Cold Flame Ancestor, ascended to the Immortal World a million years ago. Even today, the sect can communicate with this immortal ancestor through special methods. He occasionally bestows some spiritual pills and Gongfa from the Immortal World, which is incomparable to some small sects. Fellow Daoist Han will definitely not be disappointed if you join my Cold Flame Sect," Gu Yunyue said, glancing at Han Li with a smile.

Han Li's expression finally showed a trace of emotion when he heard the word "immortal."

The Cold Flame Sect actually had a backer in the Immortal World!

Moreover, after the Cold Flame Ancestor ascended, he could still contact the lower realm!

He had never heard of such a thing happening in the Spirit World. It seemed that the Spirit寰界 was truly different from the Spirit World.

Seeing the change in Han Li's expression, Gu Yunyue also showed a hint of satisfaction and smiled without saying anything.

"I didn't expect the Cold Flame Sect to be so powerful. No wonder it can suppress one side of the Spirit寰界. I wonder, what is the situation of the Heavenly Ghost Sect?" Han Li said, nodding.

"The Heavenly Ghost Sect is similar to my Cold Flame Sect. It also has an ancestor who ascended to the Immortal World. Besides our two sects, there is also the Realm Origin Temple, another sect with a senior backer in the Immortal World. The three major sects are on par in the Spirit寰界," Gu Yunyue said, her smile fading and her expression becoming somewhat solemn.

"Although they are said to be on par, their strengths must still be different. I wonder how the strengths of the three major sects are ranked?" Han Li stroked his chin and asked again.

"This... The strengths of the three major sects are basically the same, but the Heavenly Ghost Sect was founded much earlier than our Cold Flame Sect and the Realm Origin Temple. Three people have ascended to the Immortal World in its history, so its strength is slightly better. Our Cold Flame Sect and the Realm Origin Temple are about the same," Gu Yunyue said, her eyes flickering, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial.

It seemed that the strength of the Heavenly Ghost Sect was far above that of the Cold Flame Sect, but this woman was unwilling to admit it.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, pondering this, and became somewhat interested in the Cold Flame Sect.

Since the Cold Flame Sect could contact people in the Immortal World, its foundation must be deep. Perhaps he could find a way to solve the problem of his Nascent Soul from this sect.

He asked about some more things about the Cold Flame Sect and then ended the conversation, walking to the side and sitting down cross-legged.

Before long, wisps of azure light gradually appeared on his body, but the aura on his body quickly converged, eventually disappearing completely, so that no trace of magical power could be felt.

Gu Yunyue returned to the bow of the boat to continue controlling the flying boat, but after noticing the change in Han Li's magical power fluctuations, she couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

The surrounding sky gradually brightened.

The Spirit Moon Flying Boat pierced through clouds and mist, and a majestic and dense range of mountains appeared in front of it. The mountains were straight and presented a dark red color. Looking down from high in the sky, they resembled a vast red forest.

Seeing the red mountain range in front of them, Gu Yunyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This mountain range was called the Red Coral Mountain Range and was already the border of the Feng Kingdom.

She had deliberately detoured to avoid the areas that the Heavenly Ghost Sect could easily scout. Now that she had arrived here, it should be much safer.

However, to be on the safe side, Gu Yunyue raised the flying boat again and entered the clouds in the sky.

The clouds in the sky were not dense at the moment, but sparse. However, traveling through the clouds could always help to conceal their movements.

Yu Menghan and Liu Leer had also gradually adapted to the flying boat and were no longer so afraid. They stood up to admire the surrounding scenery, pointing and gesturing, with occasional bursts of clear and melodious laughter.

The mountains below receded quickly, and after a while, a plain appeared in the distance. Gu Yunyue slowly let go of her last trace of worry.

"Careful!"

Han Li, who had been sitting silently with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a low voice.

Leer and Yu Menghan were both stunned when they heard Han Li's words.

Gu Yunyue's expression changed drastically. Without saying a word, she made a hand seal with both hands, and a thick beam of white light shot out from each of her palms, entering the flying boat.

The Spirit Moon Flying Boat glowed brightly, suddenly stopped, and then shot back with extreme speed.

Just then, a white cloud in front of them suddenly turned pitch black, transforming into a huge and hideous black ghost face, opening its mouth to bite down. However, the Spirit Moon Flying Boat retreated sharply, and the ghost face bit down on empty air.

"Huh!" A soft exclamation came from the ghost face.

The ghost face swayed and collapsed with a bang, turning into a black cloud. After a blur on the cloud, two figures appeared.

The person on the left was a hunchbacked old man with a wrinkled face and sparse yellow hair, looking like he was about to die.

The person on the right was a young man with a horse face and a big mouth, extremely ugly, with a pair of triangular eyes flashing with fierce light.

Both of them were wearing black robes, embroidered with a hideous ghost head pattern, faintly emitting wisps of black gas. The spiritual pressure emanating from their bodies had both reached the Nascent Soul stage.

The horse-faced youth, like Gu Yunyue, was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul stage, while the hunchbacked old man's cultivation was one level higher, having reached the late-stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

"The Wind Cloud Duo Fiends!" Gu Yunyue's pupils shrank, and her face turned ugly.
