"...When I learned that you were captured by Feng Qingshui, I rushed to Dragon Abyss Immortal Territory and had a great battle with Feng Qingshui and Chen Ruyan, two Dao Ancestors. Heaven protected me, and I finally brought you back safely." Han Li recounted everything up to that moment.

"I have imagined countless times the situations you would encounter after your ascension, but now it seems that even that falls short of what you have actually experienced. In such circumstances, ordinary people would have died countless times, but only you can repeatedly turn danger into safety in the face of death." Nangong Wan gazed at Han Li's figure in her eyes, sighed softly, and said with admiration.

"There's no need to praise me, we're family. It's just a combination of various opportunities and a bit of luck that allowed me to walk safely to this point." Han Li shook his head and smiled.

"And the assistance of many powerful female confidantes, right? I heard from Gan Jiuzhen that Ti Hun and Jin Tong have now transformed into humans, becoming two great beauties, and there's also your female confidante Zi Ling." Nangong Wan said with a teasing smile.

"Wan'er, don't joke. You know Ti Hun, she has been with me since the human world, a partner in life and death. As for Jin Tong, she was originally my Gold Devouring Immortal who cultivated and transformed. Even I didn't expect her background to be so bizarre... As for Zi Ling, she and I had a past entanglement..." Han Li smiled wryly and explained to Nangong Wan.

Speaking of Zi Ling, his face was slightly embarrassed. Just as he was about to say something, his mouth was stopped by two slender fingers of Nangong Wan.

"Husband, now that we've reached this point, why would I be jealous of these things? It's all fate, destined in the dark, just like you and me back then." Nangong Wan shook her head and said softly.

"Wan'er, I've been so busy talking about me, how have you been these years in the lower realm?" Han Li nodded silently, changed the subject, and asked.

"I lived a relatively simple life in the lower realm, not as exciting as yours. Since you ascended, I have been cultivating in seclusion in Qingyuan Palace. Relying on the resources you left behind, and some later encounters, I finally advanced to the Mahayana stage. Later, after thousands of years of hard cultivation, I reached the peak of the Mahayana stage. After some preparation, I tried to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, wanting to come to the True Immortal World and reunite with you." Nangong Wan slowly smoothed a strand of hair beside her neck and said calmly.

"What was the situation when you crossed the Heavenly Tribulation?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"I originally thought that with those preparations, I would be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, but unfortunately, I underestimated the power of the ascension tribulation... After enduring several tribulations, I finally exhausted my strength and was struck by the last Heavenly Tribulation, falling into endless darkness... In the final moment, I shouted to the sky, hoping that you could hear my last words." Nangong Wan said with a wry smile.

Hearing this, even though Han Li knew that Nangong Wan had other encounters later, his heart still trembled, and he couldn't help but gently caress Nangong Wan's cheek.

"I originally thought I was dead, but I woke up in a dark world. The spiritual power in my body had been transformed into Immortal Spiritual Power, and everyone around me was a True Immortal even more powerful than Ma Liang back then." Nangong Wan reached out and placed her hand on the large hand that was gently caressing her cheek.

"Dark world? Could it be the Netherworld?" Han Li's eyes flashed.

"Yes, it was the Lord of Reincarnation Hall who saved me, but he soon sealed my memories. After that, my consciousness fell into a deep sleep until recently when I just woke up." Nangong Wan nodded slightly and continued.

"You've suffered these years without me by your side. But why did you leave the Reincarnation Hall later?" Han Li held Nangong Wan's hand and said.

"Although that Lord of Reincarnation Hall was respectful and courteous to me, and even told his subordinates not to stop me from doing anything, nor would he restrict me from going anywhere, my intuition told me to stay away from him. And I also really wanted to see you, so I secretly escaped from that place. Now that I think about it, I still caused you trouble." Nangong Wan lowered her head slightly and said self-reproachfully.

"How could you be causing trouble? Actually, I wouldn't feel relieved if you stayed in the Reincarnation Hall. It was just a temporary measure under the circumstances. If you hadn't run out, we probably wouldn't be able to meet now." Han Li smiled.

Nangong Wan smiled upon hearing this and held Han Li's hands with both of hers.

"Speaking of which, how is the situation of the human race in the Spirit World? And are the people in Qingyuan Palace all doing well now?" Han Li asked.

"With the foundation you left behind, the situation of the human race is excellent. The cultivation of the people in Qingyuan Palace is also going smoothly. When I was crossing the tribulation, Qi Lingzi and Hai Da Shao had already cultivated to the peak of the Integration stage, only one step away from the Mahayana stage. Bai Guo'er has better aptitude and has successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage. Fellow Daoist Ice Phoenix and Sister Silvermoon advanced to the Mahayana stage earlier than me, but they are not confident in crossing the ascension tribulation and are still accumulating strength." A strange color flashed in Nangong Wan's beautiful eyes, and she said softly.

Hearing Nangong Wan's description of these names, Han Li's mind couldn't help but flash back to those bits and pieces of the past that happened with these people. While he was happy, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The past events are vivid in his mind, but separated by heaven and earth, there may not be a chance to see them again in this life.

The path of cultivation is inherently accompanied by loneliness. Fortunately, there is still someone in front of him who can confide in him, which is enough.

"By the way, how is Yuan Yao doing now?" Han Li hesitated and asked.

"Sister Yuan Yao, she..." Nangong Wan's eyes dimmed, and she hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong with her?" Han Li's heart skipped a beat, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"Sister Yuan Yao also successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage. She inherited the mantle of Senior Qingyuanzi, and later had some adventures, and her strength progressed very quickly. She crossed the ascension tribulation earlier than me, but unfortunately, the power of heaven is unpredictable. Sister Yuan Yao ultimately failed to cross the tribulation successfully..." Nangong Wan lowered her eyes and said sadly.

Han Li's body stood there stiffly, and Yuan Yao's voice and smile appeared in his mind, and his vision became a little blurry.

Even though he has now cut off two corpses and his mind is extremely firm, he still felt an indescribable grief in his heart when he heard the bad news about his old friend.

"Husband, life and death are destined, so don't be too sad. Sister Yuan Yao had a long talk with me one night before crossing the tribulation. She once said that she has lived a wonderful life, and she has no regrets whether she can successfully cross the tribulation or not." Nangong Wan said again.

"Wan'er, don't worry, I'm fine. I have seen too much about life and death these years, but I still can't help but feel grief when I hear the bad news about my old friend." Han Li smiled reluctantly and said.

"According to what the Lord of Reincarnation Hall said, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk can dominate the reincarnation of thousands of living beings. If there is a chance in the future, we may be able to use this treasure to find the reincarnation of Sister Yuan Yao." Nangong Wan hesitated and then said.

"Yuan Yao died in the Heavenly Tribulation, and her soul may not even be preserved. And even if we find her reincarnation, she is already someone else. Are we going to be like the Lord of Reincarnation Hall and forcibly awaken her memories of her previous life? Wouldn't that be equivalent to obliterating this life's Yuan Yao?" Han Li shook his head and said.

Nangong Wan personally experienced this kind of experience and felt it even more deeply, so she didn't say anything more.

"If there is a chance in the future to return to the Spirit World, take me to her grave to pay my respects." Han Li gently put his arm around Nangong Wan's shoulder and sighed.

Now that he has advanced to the peak of the Grand Luo, he can feel the gap between the interfaces even more. With his current power, rashly entering the Spirit World would cause a violent turmoil in the heaven and earth vitality, which would probably directly lead to the collapse of the interface.

In the True Immortal World, only low-level immortals such as True Immortals can enter the lower interface.

Nangong Wan nodded.

"Speaking of chance, I didn't expect that you would get such a magical treasure as the Palm Heaven Bottle when you were in the human world. No wonder you cultivated so quickly in the human world and the Spirit World. But you kept it so secret that you didn't even let me know." Her beautiful eyes then turned and gave Han Li a coquettish glance, changing the subject.

"This matter is too important. If it is leaked out carelessly, it will attract countless killing intents. So I didn't explain it to you back then. Please don't blame me, Wan'er." Han Li smiled slightly.

"Now that we've reached this point, how could I blame you for this little thing? And you did the right thing. The existence of this thing is too shocking to the world. The more people know about it, the more risk there is. Now that the Heavenly Court knows that you have this treasure, they may send people to snatch it again. Is it okay?" Nangong Wan asked with some concern.

"It doesn't matter. The Heavenly Court is now at war with the Reincarnation Hall and is busy taking care of itself. And now my strength is quite strong. As I said before, I think I can deal with the rest of the people in the entire True Immortal World except for three people. It's not a problem to protect the Palm Heaven Bottle." Han Li said confidently.

"Since you said so, I naturally believe you, but my cultivation is weak now, and I'm afraid I can't help you much. Speaking of which, the Three Thousand Great Paths are really full of wonders. There are even things like traveling through time and space." Nangong Wan sighed and said.

"If you're interested, I can take you to try it." Han Li tossed the Palm Heaven Bottle in his hand and said with a smile.

"No, every time you use the Palm Heaven Bottle, you have to exhaust all the power of the Time Dao patterns in your body. That's too dangerous." Nangong Wan immediately shook her head.

Han Li smiled. Now that his cultivation has advanced to the peak of Grand Luo, he can better communicate with the power of the Heavenly Dao and use the Palm Heaven Bottle for time and space travel. The cost will not be as great as before.

He was happy and warmed in his heart by Nangong Wan's consideration for him.

"Okay, we'll talk about this later." Han Li said.

"Husband, what are your plans next?" Nangong Wan asked.

"My mind was full of rescuing you before, and I haven't thought about the future carefully. But my battle with Feng Qingshui and Chen Ruyan in the Dragon Abyss Immortal Territory caused a lot of commotion, and I'm afraid it has already attracted the attention of some interested people. It's better to leave here first." Han Li thought for a moment and said.

Nangong Wan naturally would not object to this.
