In a little-known part of the Blackwind Sea, there were over a hundred small greyish-white islands scattered around.
These islands were of different sizes, but they were all less than 10,000 kilometers in size. They looked like a string of white pearls embedded in a jade wall.
These islands were densely forested and had sparse spiritual Qi. Not only were there no wild beasts or living beings, there wasn't even a trace of a seabird. It gave off a feeling of deathly stillness.
In reality, this group of islands was enveloped by a nearly transparent light barrier. If one was outside the light barrier, they would only be able to see a blue ocean with the naked eye. Even if an ordinary True Immortal used their spiritual sense to probe, they wouldn't be able to detect the fluctuations here.
At this moment, in a hidden chamber built in the belly of a mountain on one of the small islands, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other on two sides of a round stone table.
The man was tall and sturdy, and his face was covered in a hollow mask. He was the Blue Crystal Race's Ancestral God, Han Qiu. The blue-robed beautiful woman sitting opposite him was Madam Huanggu, who had joined forces with him to deal with Han Li many times.
"Fellow Daoist Han Qiu, do you think that person really won't find this place?"
Madam Huanggu held a teacup tightly in one hand, the tea in the cup had long since gone cold, asking like this.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Huanggu. I spent almost half of my fortune to obtain this Illusory Separation Formation from Daoist Master Mirage. Even a late-stage True Immortal wouldn't be able to find it.
That person is only a Profound Immortal, so there's no need to mention him … Even if someone really stepped into this area, as long as they don't break through the formation core, they'll be muddle-headed and won't be able to find the two of us, "Han Qiu said, but his eyes seemed to be drifting.
"I really shouldn't have … shouldn't have provoked this malefic star. Sigh … Now my avatar was destroyed, and I don't dare to return home.
If it weren't for this, I would still be living happily on my Bone Worry Island! "Madam Huanggu let out a long sigh.
"What's the point of saying all this now?
Although we've become Earth Immortals and appear to be glorious in front of others, even in this Blackwind Sea, we're still at the bottom.
As the saying goes, seeking wealth amidst danger. If one didn't possess sufficient fortuitous encounters, then one would probably be in such a situation for the next 100,000 years. How would one be any different from a walking corpse?
I've misjudged you this time, but as long as I avoid the limelight here and wait for an opportunity to refine my incarnation again, I won't have to worry about not having a chance to stage a comeback in the future! "Han Qiu said in a deep voice.
"Refining an incarnation again is easier said than done.
In my opinion, we might as well think of a way to directly leave the Black Wind Sea. "Madam Huanggu let go of the teacup in her hand and said.
"Ridiculous!
Let's not even talk about the fact that we don't have a way to leave this place. Even if we were lucky enough to escape the Blackwind Sea Region, Elder Gods like us, who are confined to this place, would lose the protection of the power of laws. We probably wouldn't even be a match for ordinary loose cultivators. What good would that do us? "Han Qiu said with a cold snort.
Madam Huanggu's expression dimmed when she heard this, and she didn't say anything else.
Just at this moment, Han Qiu jumped up from the stone bench as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"Not good!
How is this possible … "
As soon as he finished speaking, an earth-shattering rumble resounded.
The layer of transparent light that shrouded the entire archipelago, along with the islands within it, suddenly shook!
Smoke and dust soared into the sky, and bottomless chasms appeared on the ground of the islands. Countless gravel shot out in all directions, smashing into the sea like rain, and there was a continuous "peng peng" sound.
Accompanied by the roar of the waves, the sound waves shook the heavens. One by one, the small islands began to collapse and sink to the bottom of the sea.
Amidst the smoke and dust, two figures soared into the sky. They didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and directly fled to the west.
However, they had only flown for less than a thousand miles when a ray of light flashed in front of them and stopped in front of them.
The two looked at the tall Youth not far in front of them, and their faces were extremely ugly.
Han Qiu braced himself, and with his hands hanging by his side, he bowed slightly and asked:
"Senior Liu, can you really not let the two of us go?"
Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't make a move, but he smiled without saying a word.
"The two of us are willing to offer all the savings of our respective clans. We only ask senior to spare our lives." Seeing that Han Li didn't answer, Han Qiu continued to say carefully.
His hand, which was hidden in his sleeve, was tightly holding a green jade pendant in one hand, while his other hand was forming a secret spell.
Although Madam Hungu beside him didn't speak, her hands had already quietly retracted into her sleeve.
At this moment, Han Li's body shone with green light, and he took a step toward the two.
Seeing this, the two of them groaned at the same time, and a bright green light lit up in their sleeves at the same time. It connected with each other and enveloped the two of them.
With just a blur, the two figures disappeared from where they stood.
In just a breath of time, the void tens of thousands of miles away flashed, and the figures of Han Qiu and Madam Hungu reappeared.
"Fortunately, we prepared this pair of Divine Travel Jade in advance. I believe that with the escape technique he's able to execute with his Mysterious Immortal Body, he won't be able to catch up in a short period of time." Han Qiu sized up the surroundings and spoke with lingering fear.
"This Divine Travel Jade is indeed magical, but the casting time is too long, and it requires both of us to activate it at the same time. Just now, we almost couldn't escape.
This place is still not safe, let's leave quickly. "Madam Hungu said with some worry.
Hearing this, Han Qiu was just about to answer when he heard a clear voice coming from far away.
"Fellow Daoists, you two escaped a bit faster than your clones."
Hearing this, Han Qiu and Madam Hungu felt like they were struck by lightning. Just as they wanted to activate the Divine Travel Jade again, they saw Han Li's figure flashed in the sky behind them and landed in front of them.
"His escape speed … How is it possible?" Madam Hungu was close to despair, and she said with a sad expression.
In Han Qiu's eyes, there was also fear.
Han Li turned his wrist, and a black long sword appeared in his hand. It was the sword that Madam Hungu used before.
The tip of the sword pointed upwards, and a huge sword shadow rose like a towering mountain, piercing a big hole in the clouds in the sky.
Seeing this, Han Qiu and Madam Hungu were already scared out of their wits, but they still summoned their last bit of courage and summoned a magic weapon.
The former waved her sleeve, and a crystal clear ice wheel appeared in front of her. There were countless icicles protruding from it, emitting bursts of white cold air.
The latter waved her hands in front of her, and a gray doll appeared in the void. With a flash of light, it fused into her body.
Han Li saw this, and his wrist suddenly turned down.
A whistling sound pierced through the air, followed by a huge sword shadow that was as large as a mountain falling down, pressing down on the two of them.
At this moment, Han Qiu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood from under his mask, which disappeared into the white ice wheel in a flash.
After the ice wheel was stained with blood, it immediately seemed to come back to life. With a fierce spin, it let out a sharp cry, and suddenly turned into a huge crystal clear ice phoenix, rushing towards the sword shadow.
Madam Hungu's body surged with thick fog, and with a strong corrosive aura, she pounced forward.
In the next moment, the black sword shadow suddenly expanded, covering the sky and covering the sun.
The thick gray fog immediately melted, and the crystal clear ice phoenix was beheaded. Han Qiu and Madam Hungu's bodies were directly submerged in the sword shadow.
…
At almost the same time, Han Li's earth incarnation and Luo Feng also arrived on the island where the Blue Crystal Race was.
They first killed several of the other party's elders and chief, then smashed many of Han Qiu's statues on the island like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Finally, they announced that Han Qiu was dead, and that the entire Blue Crystal Island would belong to Wumeng Island.
Originally, the Blue Crystal Race naturally refused to believe this, but when Han Qiu disappeared without a trace, and they also lost the light barrier of the Ancestor God's protection, they had no choice but to submit.
After that, Luo Feng and Madam Hungu went to the island where Madam Hungu's clansmen were, and they subdued them in the same way.
In the following month, Wumeng Island's new Ancestor God Liu Shi's illustrious name began to spread in the nearby vast seas. The Ancestor Gods of the few islands that had been on bad terms with him all fled in panic, not daring to return.
As for the Ancestor Gods of the few islands that had not been in contact with Wumeng Island, they all came to pay their respects, trying to befriend Han Li.
There were even two loose immortals who directly joined Wumeng Island, becoming foreign worshippers, and were assigned by Han Li to oversee the islands of the Blue Crystal Race and the Blue Crystal Race.
For a time, Wumeng Island seemed to have become a new hegemon.
However, Han Li only killed Han Qiu and Madam Hungu at the very beginning, and the rest was left to his incarnation and Luo Feng to handle.
Several months later, in a secret room in a small courtyard on Wumeng Island.
Han Li sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, while Luo Feng stood in front of him with a serious expression, his body slightly bent.
"I'll be going into secluded cultivation in a few days, and I'm afraid it will be very long.
My incarnation will also be busy cultivating, so I'll leave the island's affairs to you, "Han Li said.
"Senior, you can rest assured and go into secluded cultivation. I won't dare to neglect the clan's affairs," Luo Feng hurriedly said.
"I'll soon set up a grand formation around this courtyard. No one will be able to approach it.
If anything happens in the future, you can ask my incarnation to handle it. There's no need to ask me, "Han Li continued.
"As you command," Luo Feng didn't hesitate and immediately replied.
After Luo Feng left, a ray of blue light suddenly elongated from Han Li's body, forming a human figure next to him. It was his earthly incarnation.
Han Li stood up and flipped his wrist. Black light flashed in his palm, and two identical black formation plates appeared. He handed one of them to the earthly incarnation.
The formation plate was the same size and shape as a chessboard. Its surface was covered in dense white dots, and its periphery was engraved with nine star lattices and sixteen positions. It looked rather strange.
This formation plate was called the Star Displacement Mother-Child Formation Plate. It was a formation plate magic treasure that could teleport all kinds of objects through space. He had spent a great deal of money to obtain it from the Anicca Alliance.
Half a month later, on a night.
A figure with an extremely well-concealed aura quietly left Wu Meng Island.
