Chapter 1156: Volume 7: Across the Human World Chapter 1152: Return to Silver Shark

Five threads of fine spiritual energy slowly emerged from the spirit stones, cool and exceptionally concentrated, as if they were five little snakes burrowing straight into Han Li’s palm!

Caught off guard, Han Li was startled. Instantly, his fingers trembled and he subconsciously cut off the absorption of the spirit stones.

But even so, as soon as the five little snakes reached the meridians of his arm, they dissipated on their own.

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual power brimming with vitality spread out instantly, covering his entire body in the blink of an eye!

In that moment, Han Li felt enveloped by a sensation of cool warmth, which then turned delightfully warm. His whole body felt extremely comfortable, giving him an incredible sensation as if he was about to float away.

Is this a Superior Spirit Stone? Indeed, the spiritual qi it provides is incomparably richer than that of a high-grade spirit stone.

Han Li hurriedly refined this spiritual power, overjoyed in his heart.

Just this momentary intake was enough to save him half a month’s time of painful meditation. If so, were he to completely absorb the entire spirit stone, wouldn’t he be able to save the efforts of ten years of hard cultivation?

Han Li couldn’t help but greedily think to himself.

Of course, such thoughts of hoarding heavenly resources he could only entertain in his mind. A spirit stone capable of providing such a vast amount of pure spiritual qi naturally had to be reserved for crucial times of breakthrough.

Han Li flipped his palm and a green wooden box appeared in his hand.

He carefully placed the Superior Spirit Stone into the box, took out several differently colored Daoist paper talismans, and stuck them on the surface of the wooden box. Then, he stored the wooden box in his storage pouch.

With a great sense of relief in his heart, Han Li let out a long cry and transformed into a dazzling streak of green light, shooting off into the distance in the blink of an eye…

Several months later, Han Li returned near Silver Shark Island without incident.

But as soon as he entered the nearby sea, he noticed something peculiar. All the way until he approached Silver Shark Island, he had not encountered a single cultivator, which was quite unusual.

When Han Li finally saw Silver Shark Island from afar, he couldn’t help but be taken aback.

At that moment, Silver Shark Island was enveloped in a thick layer of blue light, and the restrictive formations on the island exhibited strong fluctuations, as if all the sect-wide formations had been activated. And upon sweeping with his Divine Sense, the nearby sea surface was eerily deserted, as though all cultivators were hidden within the island’s restrictive formations.

Han Li paused, his Divine Sense scanning the nearby seabed once more to confirm there were no anomalies before he flew towards the entrance of the island with some astonishment.

There, the fluctuations of the restrictive formations were relatively gentle, which should be the specially designed entrance of the large restrictive formation.

A few flashes, and he was in front of the light screen. A retraction of light, and Han Li’s figure became visible.

He glanced behind the blurry blue light screen and with a raise of his hand, a Sound Transmission Talisman flashed as it entered the light screen.

Then, Han Li hovered in the air, expressionless!

“May I ask which Fellow Daoist is returning to the island at this time, could you please inform me of your name?” A cautious male voice came from behind the light screen, as a Divine Sense swept over Han Li.

Han Li’s face darkened, and suddenly, a burst of green light radiated from his body, bluntly bouncing the Divine Sense back and casually counterattacking.

Instantly, a muffled grunt came from behind the light screen, causing the owner of the Divine Sense to suffer a slight setback.

“Hmph! Is my name something you youngsters can casually inquire about? Quick, remove the restrictive formations, I have urgent matters to attend to on the island,” Han Li snorted coldly and said icily.

“So it’s a Nascent Soul elder. Please forgive this junior’s rudeness. Under normal circumstances, I would naturally comply immediately. However, a large number of demon beasts have recently arrived in the nearby sea; our island was just attacked a few days ago. By orders, for the next few days, any cultivator returning to the island must be verified before being allowed entry,” the cultivator explained hastily as he endured the pain from the backlash of his Divine Sense.

“Is that so? How do you wish to verify identity?” Han Li’s mind flashed with the scene of the demon beast raid on Azure Spirit Island. After a brief hesitation, his voice softened.

“Could the elder please provide your name and origin, or any token of identity?” The cultivator inside, with a few nervous laughs, replied carefully.

“A token? Then take a look at this!” Han Li frowned slightly and, with a flick of his hand, a golden light shot into the light screen and disappeared.

It was the Guest Elder Token given by the Heavenly Star Sages.

“It turns out to be Han Li. Please, Elder Han, forgive me. I will allow Elder Han inside right away,” the voice from behind the light screen sounded surprised.

Upon hearing this, Han Li’s heart stirred, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to a normal expression, quietly waiting there.

In just a short while, the blue light screen in front of him trembled, flashed with light, and then a crack appeared.

Han Li’s figure flickered, and he transformed into a streaking rainbow flying through it.

The crack then closed smoothly with a hum, returning to its original state.

As soon as he flew out of the light screen, Han Li was immediately struck by a clear view; in front of him stood over a dozen cultivators from the Star Palace, all dressed in white, standing in two rows.

With a circling of the streak of green light, Han Li appeared in front of these cultivators in a flash.

“Paying respects to Elder Han?” A middle-aged cultivator hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully bowing to Han Li with a reverent face.

The voice belonged to the same person he had been speaking to, who was at the mid Core Formation stage, but his face was slightly pale. It seemed that he had not yet fully recovered from the backlash of the Divine Sense just now.

“Is it just you people guarding this place?” Han Li raised his eyebrows in surprise. The other Sect Master cultivators were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, making the defense seem rather thin.

“Because the monster attack on the island a few days ago was very intense, the other Fellow Daoists have gone to the town in the island to rest. Now it’s just Disciple and others taking turns to keep watch. But Fellow Han Li can rest assured, the nearest town is only a hundred miles away, and there are more than a hundred disciples from our Palace stationed there, ready to support at any moment,” the man explained.

“You call me Han Li, how do you know about me?” Han Li’s face darkened, and a startling spiritual pressure suddenly exploded from his body, forcing the man to step back several steps, his complexion changing.

“Fellow Han Li, the Palace had already circulated your likeness and identity among the disciples stationed on the island several months ago, and we have been instructed to be at your disposal,” the man said after steadying himself, hurriedly explaining with shock in his heart.

“So that’s the case! I didn’t expect the two Palace Masters to be so concerned about me!” Han Li’s gaze flickered a few times, suddenly his expression relaxed and he smiled. At the same time, the overwhelming spiritual pressure on him disappeared without a trace.

The man finally relaxed, a forced smile appearing on his face.

Just then, Han Li looked up in the direction of the island. His eyes flickered and he suddenly asked indifferently.

“Have you notified the others?”

“Yes, as soon as the Disciple had news of Fellow Han Li, I immediately notified the elders on the island to come and welcome you,” the man said honestly.

“I see!” Han Li’s expression was indifferent, showing neither joy nor sorrow. But the man got a jolt, his heart starting to feel uneasy.

Just then, a flash of white light appeared in the distant sky, followed by the sound of breaking through the air, as a white streak of light shot towards them.

Han Li looked towards the sky and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“It’s Elder Zhao coming to welcome Fellow Han Li in person,” the man said eagerly, trying to please.

Han Li just hummed, his expression unchanged, his arms crossed and still.

The man, seeing Han Li’s casual demeanor, was inwardly astonished.

He didn’t know that Han Li was a Nascent Soul realm cultivator; having his spiritual sense bounced back already, he dared not take another glance at Han Li, thinking that Han Li was very likely a newly recruited early Nascent Soul cultivator by the Star Palace.

The streak of light flashed, and a white rainbow shot towards the ground diagonally. Once the streak of light receded, it revealed an old man with graying hair. This old man was dressed in an embroidered gown and wore a jade belt; his long thin eyebrows gave off a majestic feeling.

This old man was precisely a cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage!

The man immediately spotted Han Li standing at the front of the crowd, his eyes brightening as he stepped forward and first cupped his fists in respect, saying:

“Are you Han Li? Zhao has failed to welcome you from afar. I hope Fellow Daoist Han would forgive me!”

The old man’s face was full of smiles, as if he and Han Li had been good friends for many years.

Han Li’s eyebrows twitched, but he replied calmly:

“Fellow Daoist, you’re too courteous. I heard that Silver Shark Island was not very peaceful a few days ago, how is the situation now? Is Fellow Daoist Zhao in charge of the island?”

“Hehe, although a group of demon beasts came to harass our island, there were no demon-transformed beasts among them, so it was more of a scare than a danger. And it’s not Zhao who is in charge of the island’s affairs, but Elder Ning. However, he has already gone out to investigate the cause of the attack by these demon beasts. My coming here was actually specially arranged to wait for Brother Han,” the old man with the surname Zhao said with a grin.

“Waiting for me?” Han Li’s expression shifted, finally showing a trace of surprise.

“That’s right. This is a direct order from our Palace’s two Heavenly Star Sages. When Fellow Daoist returns to the Outer Star Seas, they would like you to meet with them. To be honest, Brother Han, I have been waiting here on the island for you for several months,” the old man said with a smile.

“Oh, what exactly is it? To what do I owe the honor that has brought Fellow Daoist Zhao such trouble?” Han Li frowned, sensing that the issue was no small matter.

“Hehe, this matter requires a thorough explanation, and this is not the place to talk. How about following me to a secluded place nearby?” the old man suggested with a mysterious smile.

“Hmm, alright. Let’s discuss it over there by the hill!” Han Li pondered for a moment, scanned the surroundings, and then pointed at a nameless small hill ten miles away.

“Good, let’s do as Brother Han wishes!” The old man with the surname Zhao glanced at the hill and agreed without hesitation.

Han Li nodded, then instructed the man and other Star Palace disciples briefly. They both transformed into streaks of light, speeding towards the small hill.

For such a short distance, it naturally took only a blink of an eye to arrive, and they descended from their streaks of light atop the hill.

“Fellow Daoist Zhao, if you have any message from the Palace Master, just say it,” Han Li said calmly as soon as he landed.

“Haha, Brother Han, there’s no need to be so cautious. This time, it’s a great fortune that has come knocking at your door,” the Zhao surnamed elder said, chuckling, stroking his chin beard before even speaking.

“A great fortune! How do you mean?” Han Li was taken aback upon hearing this.

“Fellow Daoist Han is not yet a hundred years old, right?” the old man asked with a smile.

“What if I am? Han Li felt an inexplicable eeriness but stared unflinchingly at the other party without denying it.
