Chapter 1157: Volume 7 Across the Human World Chapter 1153 The Proposal of Dual Cultivation

“Haha, that will do. What do you think of Elder Ling from our palace, Brother Han?” The Zhao-surnamed elder grinned.

“Are you talking about Fellow Daoist Ling Yuling?” Han Li asked in surprise.

“Yes, she is the beloved daughter of our palace’s two great sages!” The elder nodded continuously.

“Although Daoist Ling is young, she has advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage with innate talent for cultivation. But what did you mean by saying this?” Han Li’s eyes flickered with confusion.

“While Elder Ling’s talent is commendable, she naturally pales in comparison to Brother Han. However, both of you are undoubtedly geniuses blessed by the heavens. If the two of you were to join hands and support each other, you might just find a chance to achieve remarkable success on the path of immortal cultivation. Would Brother Han be willing to become pair cultivation partners with Elder Ling?”

“Pair cultivation partners?”

This time, Han Li was truly startled, his mouth gaping wide open, unable to close for a long while.

“Indeed, both Brother Han and Elder Ling are so young and talented, it’s a match made in heaven! How about Zhao acts as the matchmaker for this grand union?” The Zhao-surnamed elder’s face was brimming with a blossoming smile.

The look of surprise on Han Li’s face vanished in a flash as he frowned slightly.

The elder, who had been attentively watching Han Li’s expressions, couldn’t help but feel astonished, murmuring to himself.

Could it be that he is actually unwilling to accept such a good offer?

You must understand that in the realm of immortal cultivators, female Nascent Soul cultivators are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Those of a similar age are even rarer and sought after. Thus, everyone knows the great benefits of pair cultivation techniques for cultivation, but most male Nascent Soul cultivators can only take Core Formation or even Foundation Establishment female cultivators as concubines. Genuine pair cultivation partners are scarce. Occasionally, if there is a female Nascent Soul cultivator, it’s likely that she is pursued by seven or eight male cultivators of similar cultivation for marriage.

As the elder had originally thought, Ling Yuling being a Nascent Soul cultivator, beautiful as a flower, and the cherished daughter of the illustrious Star Palace Master – wasn’t this a pie falling from the sky?

But the other party seemed indifferent and even somewhat reluctant, which was far beyond the elder’s expectations.

However, since the other party was a late-Nascent Soul cultivator, he naturally did not dare to reveal even a hint of displeasure, maintaining his pleasant smile and continuing ardently:

“The two great sages have said that if Fellow Daoist agrees to the match with Elder Ling and is willing to reside in our Stalwart Star City, with Brother Han’s cultivation, the position of the next master of Star Palace naturally belongs to you. With that, Brother Han could become the Lord over the Scattered Stars Sea in no time, and furthermore…”

The elder went on incessantly about the many benefits promised by the Heavenly Star Sages, his words betraying a hint of envy.

Han Li remained silent at first, but when he saw the elder showed no sign of stopping anytime soon, he sighed inwardly and finally interrupted:

“Thank you for the generous offer from the Palace Master, but I’m afraid I must respectfully decline.”

“What, has Brother Han truly considered it thoroughly? You may take a few more days to think it over, there’s no need to rush with a reply,” the Zhao-surnamed elder said, realizing that he had likely made the trip for nothing as Han Li’s composure was exceptionally calm. He now felt a sinking feeling upon hearing Han Li’s outright rejection and nonethelessly made one last effort to persuade him.

It wouldn’t be easy to face the Heavenly Star Sages if he returned without success.

“It is not that I look down upon Celestial Ni Chang or harbor any prejudice against your Palace. Rather, I already have a fixed partner who is also a Nascent Soul cultivator,” Han Li said slowly.

“I see, there’s nothing that can be done then. It seems Elder Ling and Fellow Daoist were fated yet without destiny. Still, Zhao feels it’s quite regrettable,” the Zhao-surnamed elder relieved upon hearing Han Li’s reason, appeared more relaxed now.

Having a reason to take back with him naturally made things easier to explain.

Yet, he still found it strange; it seemed that there hadn’t been any new female Nascent Soul cultivators in Scattered Stars Sea in the last hundred years besides Ling Yuling.

Could it be that Han Li’s partner is like him, a dedicated cultivator unnoticed by fame!

The Heavenly Star Sages had not informed the Zhao-surnamed elder that Han Li might be a foreign cultivator. He naturally assumed Han Li to be one of those cultivators who practiced in seclusion and did not seek fame.

“I cannot force Elder Ling’s matter. But when Zhao came, the two sages instructed me to pass on another message to Fellow Daoist if you refused the pair cultivation proposal. I wonder if Brother Han might be interested in hearing it,” the Zhao-surnamed elder sighed, but then changed the topic.

“Of course, I would listen,” Han Li responded without hesitation, his eyes flickering.

Since they were unable to allure him into the Star Palace, there certainly must be other schemes to follow, which he found not at all surprising.

“It’s nothing much, just that the two sages wish to meet with Fellow Daoist formally once. Of course, the meeting place, as long as it’s not far from Stalwart Star City, can be chosen by Fellow Daoist. The sages asked me to tell you that the topic of discussion would be related to breaking through the bottleneck of Divinity Transformation. Hopefully, Brother Han would be willing to agree to this meeting,” the Zhao-surnamed elder spoke with a somber countenance.

“Related to breaking through Divinity Transformation?” Han Li stroked his chin and showed a pondering expression.

If it wasn’t for the last remark added by the Zhao-surnamed elder, he would simply refuse without even thinking. But now, since it was a major issue, he couldn’t just dismiss it without careful consideration.

After all, he had no clue about reaching Divinity Transformation, and he was not willing to miss the opportunity if it meant taking some risks.

“If the two sages would not mind, I will await them on a small island three thousand miles north of Stalwart Star City three days from now,” Han Li finally said, after pondering for a good while.

With his current divine skills, as long as he was not trapped in an impasse or besieged by too many Nascent Soul cultivators at once, he had nothing to fear from any ambush. Thus, meeting in a place with a clear view was actually safer.

“Good, I shall report to the Sages truthfully,” said the Zhao surnamed elder with a joyful expression, seeing that Han Li agreed so readily this time.

Han Li chatted with the elder for a few more words before taking his leave.

Seeing that Han Li had no intention of staying any longer, the elder did not try to keep him.

Han Li didn’t need the elder to accompany him and headed straight towards the transmission formation on the island.

With Han Li’s speed, it was not long before he flew over the mountain peak where the transmission formation was located, just in time to see a disheveled-haired cultivator in front of a stone house, speaking with a stern face to several cultivators and shaking his head constantly, seemingly refusing something.

A dazzling streak of green light flashed, and Han Li appeared mysteriously in front of the group.

“Greetings to Senior Han!” The disheveled-haired cultivator recognized Han Li at a glance and hurried over to pay his respects with an apologetic smile.

“I need to return to the Outer Star Seas. There are no issues with the transmission formation, right?” Han Li asked directly with a cold tone.

“Of course, there are no issues. Senior, please enter!” The Star Palace cultivator quickly responded, and without waiting for Han Li to say anything, smartly handed over a Teleportation Talisman.

Although he possessed a Greater Displacement Medallion, Han Li did not hesitate to take the Daoist paper talisman and walked into the formation with a flicker of his figure.

Moments later, the stone house lit up with the white light of teleportation, and Han Li’s figure disappeared completely.

Because of Han Li’s arrival, the other cultivators who showed a respectful demeanor finally relaxed and returned to their normal expressions.

One of the Core Formation cultivators who was familiar with the disheveled-haired cultivator couldn’t help but ask directly:

“Brother Yu, is this senior an elder of your Star Palace? He seems quite unfamiliar.”

“That’s not the case. I’ve only seen this senior once before, but he holds our Star Palace’s Guest Elder Token. Although it hasn’t been officially announced, he should be a new Elder who is about to join our Star Palace,” the disheveled-haired cultivator said with a hehe smile, looking a bit smug.

“I see. Does that not mean that your Star Palace’s power is about to increase significantly? The Elder seems to possess a technique of retaining his youthful appearance; I just wonder whether he is at the early Nascent Soul Stage or the mid Nascent Soul Stage,” the Core Formation cultivator said enviously, clicking his tongue in wonder.

“That, I’m not very certain of. This senior seems to possess some kind of protective treasure, making it difficult to accurately detect his realm. But, I estimate that it should be the former. If it were a senior at the mid Nascent Soul Stage, even if they were a dedicated cultivator, they wouldn’t still be unknown at this point, right?” The disheveled-haired cultivator hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly.

“I think so too! Even so, he’s not someone we can compare ourselves to. Tsk tsk, with a lifespan of over a thousand years, I wonder if we will ever have the chance to form our Nascent Soul?” Another sword-carrying cultivator sighed.

Three days later, three thousand li north of Stalwart Star City, on an unnamed Red Coral Island only a few li in size, a young man was sitting cross-legged on a red coral rock, shrouded in flashing green light, his eyes tightly closed.

Naturally, this young man was Han Li.

A few days ago, after being teleported from the transmission formation back to Stalwart Star City in the Outer Star Seas, he did not hesitate at all and immediately left the huge island, not staying for a moment.

He had been vigilant in his heart that the Heavenly Star Sages might take this opportunity to harm him, but it seemed that he had been overly cautious.

Without any trouble, he left the area controlled by the Star Palace.

Upon leaving, Han Li relaxed and stayed in the nearby seas for a few days, arriving on time to meet the Heavenly Star Sages.

However, to be cautious, he released his formidable spiritual sense, covering a radius of several hundred li, enveloping everything around him.

Whether it was the black depths of the sea thousands of feet deep or the sky ten thousand feet high, everything was under his surveillance.

Facing great cultivators like the Heavenly Star Sages who were famous throughout the Scattered Stars Sea, Han Li naturally would not take them lightly.

The couple cultivated the same cultivation techniques, and their combined power would probably be much stronger than the average two late-stage cultivators working together.

Moreover, the reputation of the Divine Essencefused Light was indeed too illustrious. It was said to break all the Five Elements under the heavens. Although that was certainly an exaggeration, it gave an idea of just how terrifying the technique was.

Han Li did not want to lose his life foolishly due to overconfidence.

Therefore, before the Sages arrived, he first took control of everything in the nearby seas, in case they had any treacherous plans!

As the time approached noon and the sun in the sky was bright and glaring, the meditating Han Li suddenly stirred and opened his clear eyes.

At the end of the sky, he was facing, white light flickered, followed by two streaks of light appearing side by side, shooting towards the small island from the space above.(To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.WebNovel for more chapters and support the author by reading the genuine version!)
