Chapter 266 Emperor Gan’s Personal Expedition, the Immortal Python
On the way back, Han Yi drove the immortal boat at a faster speed. It took only seven days to reach Xuandan Sect in Luofeng County.
The five returning Jindan Supreme Elders, Shen Ping, and Huo Ming, who was still seriously injured, held a meeting.
After a discussion, everyone came to the conclusion that they needed to make two preparations.
If Da Gan did not show signs of decline, there was no need to migrate. If the demon clan went north and Da Gan was defeated, the Xuandan Sect would prepare to migrate the entire clan north and enter the territory of Daqin.
This plan was only preliminary, and the specific details needed to be determined based on the actual situation in the next step.
Then, the news flew all over the sky like snowflakes. The sect kept asking about Da Gan's current situation from many channels, striving not to be cannon fodder, and from the disordered news, they saw a way for the sect to survive.
As the news was summarized, Han Yi also learned more about the results of the battle in Wanxinghai, but there were still many key points that were not widely circulated.
For example, why did the Demon God Mountain appear at the other end of the Wan Yao Mountain Range? Why didn't Daqin and Jianya react?
For example, which demon god was the last breath of the peak of the transformation of the spirit, which was close to the semi-immortal?
According to Han Yi's understanding, there are three demon gods in the demon mountain, the holy land of the demon clan in the northwest of Yuheng Realm. However, those three demon gods are all in the early stage of transformation of the spirit, and in the past, they were all demon gods in the form of turtles.
But among the seven demon gods that appeared in advance in that battle, only the giant python and the nine-tailed demon fox were in the late stage of transformation of the spirit.
The giant python and the Taoist Master Wanxing died together, and the nine-tailed demon fox was killed by the Taoist Master Tianwu. The only one in the late stage of transformation of the spirit present should be the Taoist Master Tianwu, but it was the peak of the demon aura of transformation of the spirit that appeared at the end, which made some powerful people who were originally thinking of fighting give up such thoughts.
There were many doubts in his heart, but Han Yi did not entangle. If the sky fell, there was a tall man to support it. Although he was not weak, he could not play a decisive role in this war between the two worlds and the two clans.
Then.
The entire Xuandan Sect was mobilized before this crisis of extinction, and was ready to respond according to the situation on the front line at any time.
However.
Three days later, a piece of news spread throughout Dagan.
The Emperor of Dagan was preparing to go on a personal expedition. Before the expedition, he summoned all the Dagan monks to join the army.
The most powerful army of the Dagan Immortal Kingdom, the Dagan Guard, would also go to the East China Sea together to fight the monsters.
There were more than 10,000 Dagan Guards, including 8,000 foundation-building, 2,000 Jindan, and Zhenjun monks, a total of 37 people.
In addition.
For this battle, the Emperor of Dagan summoned two dukes, seven marquises, two holy places, three major sects, eight Yuanying, many Jindan sects, and many monks.
This almost included all the monks in Dagan, including the fairy kingdom and the sect, and was listed in a list by Dagan, called the Demon-Slaying List.
The Demon-Slaying List only included Yuanying, Jindan, and foundation-building monks.
And on the Jindan list, Han Yi was surprisingly ranked fifth.
When the Da Gan envoy came to Xuan Dan Sect and told Han Yi about this, to be honest, Han Yi was a little confused.
"The top four on the Jin Dan list, are they the top few on the Tian Ji Pavilion's Zhenren list?" Han Yi asked in confusion.
The Da Gan envoy was a Jin Dan peak cultivator named Pang Ren, who was from the Da Gan Emperor's family. Facing Han Yi, Pang Ren's attitude was gentle. He smiled when he heard Han Yi's words.
"Fellow Daoist Han, you don't know."
"The top three on the Zhenren list have all broken through to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago."
"Li Qiu Shui is now the Qiu Shui Zhenjun."
"However, although Gu Rufeng, who ranked second, was promoted to the Nascent Soul, he fell to the hands of a demon saint in the Wan Xinghai War not long ago. What a pity."
Han Yi suddenly realized that he had just learned about this matter.
Seeing that Han Yi understood, Pang Ren took out another token. This was a silver token with three big characters, "Inspector", branded on it.
"Fellow Daoist Han is now the fifth on the list and is also an inspector. His Majesty has made an exception and granted him the second rank of inspector. Please keep it."
Han Yi was not polite. This inspector can receive a salary. Speaking of which, he has never received his salary as a fourth rank inspector. After so many years, he has saved a lot of money. If Da Gan is destroyed by the monsters, this amount of spiritual stones will be gone. Should he take advantage of Da Gan's existence and quickly receive this spiritual stone?
This idea suddenly popped up in Han Yi's mind. He glanced at Pang Ren, who had a gentle face, and put this idea aside temporarily.
"In addition, His Majesty personally led the expedition this time, and Fellow Daoist Han was in the top ten of the Jindan list. He specially granted a magic weapon. I hope that Fellow Daoist will make more contributions on the battlefield of destroying monsters."
Pang Ren waved his hand gently and took out another jade box. The jade box was about two meters long. Inside it, a long sword of about one and a half meters was quietly placed.
"This is a top-grade magic weapon, the Demon-Suppressing Sword."
Pang Ren opened the jade box, and a strong magic weapon spirituality suddenly spread. The long sword in the jade box vibrated slightly, as if it couldn't help but jump up, suppressing demons and killing evil.
Han Yi's eyes glowed, and he stretched out his hand and pressed it. With his current strength and the breakthrough of the ancient god visualization method, he easily suppressed the vibration of the sword.
Then, he took out the sword in the jade box, held it in his hand, and carefully tasted it.
The long sword was gilded all over, and the blade was like flowing water, smooth and flawless, flashing with dazzling golden light. On the sword, there was a strange rune. This rune was not an ordinary word, and Han Yi didn't understand it, but according to the name of the long sword, it should be a rune of "suppressing".
Han Yi stroked the sword lightly, feeling the spirituality in the thick layer of golden light emitted by the sword, and couldn't help but admired: "What a sword."
He put the long sword into the jade box, and then put it into the Qiankun Ring.
He thought very clearly about the rewards given by Emperor Daqian. He would not accept them in vain. Emperor Daqian was just asking him to go to the war. From this, he believed that he would not be able to escape unless he abandoned the entire Xuandan Sect. , fled alone. In this case, this kind of behavior is disturbing the morale of the army before the war. The Xuandan Sect will definitely be destroyed and used to sacrifice the flag.
And Emperor Daqian gave the second order of patrol envoys and the best magic weapons in order to let Han Yi contribute. I believe that other monks at the top of this list will also receive special treatment.
When the other party took out the sword, Han Yi thought clearly about the reason.
It was impossible for him to abandon the Xuan Dan Sect. If there were no other changes, going to join the war would be the only next step.
"Thank you Daoist Pang for your kindness. I, Han Yi, will definitely go all out to kill the demon clan and contribute to the stability of Daqian."
After receiving the magic weapon, Han Yi had a full smile on his face, and his words became even more beautiful.
Hearing this, Pang Ren breathed a sigh of relief and gave a few instructions about the recruitment of demon exterminators. After a while, he hurriedly left.
As soon as Pang Ren left, Zhuge Wuyou, who had been silent for a long time, sighed worriedly.
"Even Daqian started mobilizing before the war."
"It seems that this battle is not optimistic."
"Junior brother, what are your plans for taking this sword away?"
Zhuge Wuyou looked at Han Yi with a sad face, but he didn't have any good suggestions or plans. Let alone him, even if the sect leader returned, it would be difficult to make a decision on the battle between the two realms and the two clans.
Han Yi put away the smile on his face, his eyes were calm, without any disturbance.
"Now there is no other choice. Regardless of whether I can keep this sword or not, I must follow the Daqianwei."
"Furthermore, in order for me to go all out, I need two more golden elixirs from our clan and sixty foundations."
"Senior brother, look, which two people should I arrange to go with me?"
This is also one of the things that Pang Ren just ordered. This is not only true for Xuan Dan Sect, but also for other sects. On the demon extermination roster, 80% of the True Monarch monks and the top 100 of Golden Dan need to go with the team. In addition to these In addition, each sect also needs to equip a certain amount of additional golden elixirs and foundation building quotas.
This is one of the means to restrain the sects within the territory.
For the Xuandan Sect, in addition to Han Yi, they also required two additional golden elixirs and sixty years of foundation construction. Of course, unlike Han Yi who was rewarded with a top-quality magical sword, others did not have this honor.
Zhuge Wuyou thought for a while and said, "This time, let Junior Brother Zhu come with me."
Han Yi thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
In addition to Han Yi, if the other two Jindan monks from Xuandan Sect were too weak this time, they would basically die. Therefore, there was no problem for Zhuge Wuyou to follow them.
However, Si Hongxue is weak, Shen Ping is good at managing the sect, and Lian Tingxi is extremely talented and has made extraordinary progress. He has broken through the middle stage of Jindan not long ago. Apart from Han Yi, he is the future of the sect. Huo Ming is seriously injured again. These four people are not suitable.
As for Fei You, who just broke through to the Golden Core stage not long ago, he has not yet returned from Qiandu. Even if he returns, he is too weak to be allowed to go.
After comprehensive consideration, the only person in the sect who is most suitable to go is Zhu Siyuan.
After confirming the candidate, Zhuge Wuyou looked at Han Yi with joy and many emotions in his eyes.
"I just didn't expect that in just a few years, my junior brother's strength would already be so terrifying. He is now ranked fifth in the entire Daqian Realm."
"It's scary that even the sect leader will be shocked when he returns."
"Now, as long as my junior brother is still alive, even if the sect leader has an accident, my sect will be safe and sound. After a while, my junior brother will be promoted to Yuanying, and our sect will truly secure its position as the main sect of Yuanying."
Zhuge Wuyou was deeply moved, and after discussing with Han Yi, he walked out of Xuandan Peak and convened the elders of the sect to hold an elders' meeting to discuss the candidates to go.
This time, the qi training disciples were not involved, and the turmoil caused was not that big. The sect was still stable, but under the stability, undercurrents were surging.
Han Yi also attended the meeting and deliberated for a full hour before confirming the list of sixty foundation-building elders.
That night, night fell.
On Zhuque Peak, among the highest towers, Han Yi was rare. Instead of practicing, he stood at the top, his eyes falling on the now prosperous Xuandan Sect.
It has been nearly sixty years since he traveled through time. Han Yi has jumped from an unknown second-level Qi practitioner to the fifth Golden Elixir in the Da Gan Demon Slayer roster. Only he knows how difficult it has been along the way. , practicing almost all the time.
That night, Han Yi indulged himself, stopped all his practice, and let himself go.
…
The next day.
An immortal boat set off from the Xuandan Sect and headed east. This time the Emperor of Daqian personally marched, and all the monks of Daqian needed to gather outside Qiandu first and then fight.
Four days later, Han Yi's crimson fairy boat arrived outside Qiandu. It was a hundred kilometers away from Qiandu, and even though it was so far away, there were already sect fairy boats hovering here.
This time, the Daqian Immortal Kingdom dispatched all elites, and there were no Qi-training monks. The weakest ones were the low-level Daqianwei monks, and these monks were all foundation-building monks.
The red fairy boat found a place to hover. After a while, a Da Ganwei monk came forward to register Han Yi's information. During the registration, Han Yi asked some information casually. The monk obviously recognized Han Yi, or to be more precise, now everyone in Da Gan knows Han Yi of Xuandan Sect.
After all, in the battle of Wanxing's destruction, Han Yi killed three half-step demon saints alone, and was ranked fifth on the list of demon killers. If he had not died, he would definitely be ranked in the top five when the Tianji Pavilion's real person list was updated in a few decades, or even further, the top three.
For such a cultivator, it is appropriate to say that he is famous in Da Gan. If there is no accident, it is definitely not a problem for him to be promoted to Yuanying.
After a while, according to the request of Da Ganwei, Han Yi hovered the fairy boat at a certain place. After the fairy boat stopped, Zhuge Wuyou looked at Han Yi with a worried look on his face.
"According to what the big Ganwei said just now."
"In this battle with the demon clan, you, Junior Brother, will not be with us, but will be asked to be incorporated into a powerful Jindan team alone."
"In this case, Junior Brother must be cautious and never force yourself to be the first. Protect yourself first. If you really encounter a death crisis, you can't care so much. Run as far as you can."
"Remember, remember."
Time is in a hurry, Zhuge Wuyou can only say this. For Han Yi now, he can't provide other combat power help.
Han Yi nodded and looked at Zhuge Wuyou and Zhu Siyuan.
"I'll leave the other foundation building elders to you."
Then, he lightly leaped up to the sky and headed towards Gandu. After an incense stick, he arrived at the gate of Gandu. Here, hundreds of Jindan cultivators have gathered. Among these cultivators, only a few are in the late Jindan stage, and most of the others are at the peak of Jindan. Among them, there are even Jindan with terrifying combat power like Han Yi, who can be called half-step Yuanying.
This is a team of cultivators composed of powerful Jindan cultivators.
Here, Han Yi also saw several familiar real people, Yuxin Zhenren, Lu Bai, and Li Dongli were also in the list.
Lu Bai looked at Han Yi, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, but he still held back, with a regretful look on his face, shook his head, flew over to say hello, and left.
Li Dongli just shook his head and nodded at Han Yi, but did not move forward.
As for Yuxin Zhenren, Han Yi took the initiative to approach and bowed to the beautiful female cultivator who had helped him.
"Han Yi, meet Yuxin Zhenren."
Yuxin Zhenren is still at the peak of Jindan.
For Jindan cultivators, especially those at the peak of Jindan, it is normal for their realm to remain unchanged for decades. For example, Li Dongli has been trapped at the peak of Jindan for more than a hundred years. His combat power and realm have progressed slowly and he has not been able to break through. Yuxin Zhenren is also in this situation.
Only Han Yi is special.
Yu Xin Zhenren stared at Han Yi with her beautiful eyes, no longer with curiosity and praise, but with real envy. In her impression, Han Yi's realm would change almost every time they met.
"Fellow Daoist Han, there is no need to be so polite, just call me Yu Xin."
"Did you take some magic medicine to achieve your realm? Why is it so terrifying?"
"When the Shudu Demon Cave broke out last time, I saw you were only in the middle stage of the Golden Core. It has been less than three years, and you have already broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core, and even ranked fifth on the list of Golden Cores."
"If I hadn't confirmed your name and sect again and again, I really wouldn't believe it."
Han Yi smiled and didn't answer the question, but talked about the help that Bai Yuya of Wanxinghai extended to him.
"Speaking of which, I owe Bai Yulou a lot of favors now."
"When the monster tribe's invasion is over, I will visit you in person to express my gratitude."
Zhenren Bai Yu smiled and welcomed him.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Baiyu, why did the demon tribe come so suddenly this time?"
"Moreover, the Demon God Mountain suddenly appeared in the East China Sea, why did Daqin and Jianya remain indifferent?"
"Who was the demon god aura that appeared at the end of the battle in Wanxinghai a few days ago? I'm going to fight, but can anyone deal with it?"
Han Yi asked.
Now although Xuandan Sect has many channels, it seems shallow when it comes to such high-level news, but Baiyu Tower is different. Baiyu Zhenjun is a legendary great cultivator, and there are three Zhenjuns in Baiyu Tower.
In addition, in the battle in Wanxinghai, Baiyu Zhenjun was holding a mid-grade spiritual treasure and his combat power was terrifying. Baiyu Tower may know these relatively confidential high-level news.
Sure enough, Yu Xin Zhenren glanced at Han Yi and didn't find it strange. When they were in the Shudu Demon Cave, Han Yi didn't know much about these news involving the level of Zhenjun Huashen. Bai Yu Zhenren also knew that this was the reason why the Xuandan Sect's promotion to Yuanying took a short time, so he didn't think much about it. He explained these three questions one by one.
"The demon clan descended, and the owner got the news that a space channel leading to Yaoguang Realm appeared in the depths of the East China Sea. From that channel, many demon clan demon cultivators crossed the boundary."
"As for the Demon God Mountain getting rid of the suppression of Jianya and Daqin and suddenly appearing in the East China Sea, the owner didn't know."
"And the last demon god breath at that time, the owner is more clear about this."
"This is also the target that the emperor personally took action to deal with this time."
Speaking of this, Yu Xin Zhenren's face was extremely solemn.
"That one is the royal family of the demon clan's Devouring Spirit Python clan, the Immortal Immortal Python."
"Immortal Immortal Python?" Han Yi frowned.
Yu Xin Zhenren nodded, his expression serious.
"That's right."
"It is rumored that there is a trace of immortal blood in the body of the immortal python. In a lifetime, no matter the main body or the clone, it can be resurrected up to nine times."
"Fellow Daoist Han should know that there was a soul-devouring python in the demon clan's holy land, the Demon God Mountain."
Han Yi's heart moved and he nodded.
One of the three demon gods in the Demon God Mountain is the soul-devouring python. However, that soul-devouring python is only in the early stage of transformation. How could it suddenly transform into the peak of transformation? Even, it is only one step away from completing the immortal road and entering the semi-immortal realm?
Seeing Han Yi's doubts, Yu Xin Zhenren slowly explained. After a while, the explanation was finished and both fell into silence.
After a long time, Han Yi sighed and lamented the horror of this soul-devouring python.
"So that's it."
"Cross-border incarnation, the main body and the clone can be resurrected nine times. This demon god is too against the sky. Even if it is the Great Emperor, can it really win?"
Han Yi was puzzled.
Just now, Yu Xin Zhenren explained that Han Yi knew about the situation of this immortal python.
This immortal python is the strongest demon god in Yaoguang Realm. It is unknown what means it used to project its clone to Yuheng Realm and become one of the three demon gods of Demon God Mountain.
It is also unknown what means it used to open the channel between the two realms and bring its main body from Yaoguang Realm.
In the battle of Wanxing Sea.
Its main body was killed by the Sun-shooting Immortal Bow, but this immortal python has another characteristic, that is, the clone and the main body have a total of nine chances to resurrect.
The aura on Wanxing Sea is the fusion of its clone of Demon God Mountain and the resurrected main body, which raises the aura to a level infinitely close to that of a semi-immortal.
It is precisely because of this resurrection characteristic that it has the title of immortal python.
And that soul-devouring demon god now has a new title.
Immortal demon god.
This demon god is only one step away from becoming a demon emperor at the level of a semi-immortal. Although he does not know what his immortal path is, True Lord Baiyu guessed that his immortal path should be related to the invasion of Yuheng Realm and the destruction of Wanxinghai.
"Friend Han, don't worry. If the sky falls, there are tall people to support it."
"The host guesses that Jianya and Daqin have not made a move yet. There must be a conspiracy here."
"Just wait and see."
Han Yi nodded and felt that it made sense. If this immortal fairy python really completed the immortal path in Yuheng Realm and became a semi-immortal, then Yuheng Realm would be in chaos. The demon race would rise, and the two most powerful forces in Yuheng Realm, Daqin and Jianya, would never allow it.
There must be something he didn't know about it.
The two chatted for a while and then sat cross-legged in their respective immortal boats.
Han Yi's immortal boat at the moment was also a top-grade magic weapon-level immortal boat. It came from one of the two golden elixir peaks killed in Yongxi Immortal City. His red immortal boat was left to Zhuge Wuyou.
The next day.
A purple-glowing imperial carriage flew out from the first fairy ring of Gandu. Surrounding the imperial carriage were two dukes, seven marquises, and many great Gan Zhenjun monks.
The monks in the sky rushed to the Wanxing Sea in an orderly manner.
Seven days later.
The Wanxing Sea was in sight, but Han Yi, who was among the vast team of monks, looked at the Wanxing Sea at this moment from more than a hundred miles away, and his pupils shrank wildly.
At this moment.
The original Wanxing Fairy Island had completely fallen and shattered. In the shallow waters of the East China Sea near the Wanxing Fairy Island, an extremely huge sacred mountain was located here, tens of thousands of meters above the sea level, reaching the sky.
Monster God Mountain.
However.
What shocked Han Yi was that it was not the Monster God Mountain, but a giant pillar several miles behind this demon clan holy land. The pillar was golden and about three thousand feet long, with mysterious runes painted on the pillar.
Behind this giant pillar, there is another identical giant pillar ten miles away, and another ten miles away...
In this way, behind the Monster God Mountain, a row of giant pillars ten miles apart spread towards the depths of the East China Sea, with no end in sight.
Han Yi has seen similar pillars before. They were the black pillars in the Heavenly Demon Ritual in the Shudu Demon Cave. However, the pillars in the Heavenly Demon Ritual were not so high.
"Brother Han, be careful."
"This giant pillar should be some kind of ritual. Judging from the situation, the purpose of the demon clan this time is definitely not simple."
Yu Xin Zhenren was not far from Han Yi, with a solemn light flashing in his beautiful eyes. A white handkerchief had fallen into his hand. This was his magic weapon, which showed how heavy his heart was.
"I know, Fellow Daoist Yu Xin, please be sure to protect yourself."
Han Yi nodded and stared at the Monster God Mountain in the distance.
Just when the army of Da Gan monks was a hundred miles away from the Monster God Mountain, there was also a reaction inside and outside the Monster God Mountain.
In an instant.
The entire area turned into a demonic domain, with demonic energy spreading everywhere. The breath of the demon gods soared into the sky, stirring up the heaven and earth and shaking the universe.
One, two... eight... nine...
Finally, the breath of thirteen demon gods appeared in the universe, which shocked all the cultivators.
