Chapter 279: Han Li's Rise to Fame
Ye Changsheng has made multiple preparations and plans for his future breakthrough of the bottleneck of Spirit Transformation.
One is to practice the Nine Apertures Star Yuan Gong and practice this technique to perfection, which can at least increase the chance of a triple breakthrough.
The second is to practice the Yuanci magic. If you want to practice the Yuanci magic to perfection, you must have all five elements of spiritual roots.
If you want to have all five elements of spiritual roots, you have to refine the elixir spiritual roots.
Therefore, he was determined to obtain this ancient fire toad beast. If he missed this monster, he would not be sure whether he could find a monster pill of this level in the future.
Although there is no high level requirement for the demon pill in refining the spiritual root, it goes without saying that the higher the level of the demon pill, the more benefits it will bring to oneself after it is refined into a spiritual root.
"I am also very tempted by the treasures in the Demon Valley. Since you two have invited me so kindly, I will accept it!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile on his face.
Hearing his words, Nanlong Hou and the other two were overjoyed and said quickly: "Okay, I can guarantee that Brother Ye has definitely made a wise decision!"
Xuanjizi said on the side: "Although the space cracks in the Fallen Demon Valley are chaotic most of the time, there will be a relatively stable period every fifty years!"
"This stable period lasts for a full year. Before coming here, Brother Nanlong and I observed that it will take at least three or four years to the next stable period. Before that, we still have time to prepare!"
Nanlong Hou also said: "I hope that this war with the Mulan people will not last too long, so as not to delay our journey. When the time comes, the two of us will notify Brother Ye!"
Ye Changsheng nodded upon hearing this, stood up and said, "In that case, I will wait to meet you two fellow Taoists outside the Falling Demon Valley in the future!"
After leaving this place, Ye Changsheng continued to return to his attic to recuperate.
During this process, Nanlong Hou and Xuanjizi also invited Han Li to discuss the matter.
Han Li did not give a definite answer in the end, but only said that he would give the two an answer one year before entering the Demon Valley.
When he learned that Senior Brother Ye was also going to the Fallen Demon Valley, Han Li immediately gave the two of them a guarantee that even if he did not go to the Fallen Demon Valley in the future, he would sell the sensing bell to Nanlong Hou and Xuanjizi.
Afterwards, not long after, Han Li and other Nascent Soul cultivators stranded in Tiantian City were gathered together again.
After some discussion, they were assigned tasks and went to support the front line.
There were only about twenty Nascent Soul cultivators left in Tiantian City, excluding those from the Nine-Nation Alliance.
At this moment, this group of people almost went out in full force, leading some Jindan cultivators to support those important places that needed to be guarded by forbidden formations.
The Mulan army has already touched the edge of the Yu State. There are more than a dozen such places guarded by forbidden formations and stationed by Nascent Soul cultivators on the route that the invading mages must take.
If these strongholds are not completely eliminated, the Mulan people will not be able to sleep or eat in peace, so the two sides will inevitably engage in bloody battles around these strongholds.
Now, reinforcements from the other three major forces in Tiannan are still on the way. With the current strength of the Nine-Nation Alliance, it is not enough to launch a decisive battle with the Mulan people.
Therefore, they could only rely on the geographical advantages and the forbidden formations that had taken countless efforts to set up, to delay the progress of the army of mages little by little.
If there were no such strongholds, with the flying speed of the high-level mages of Mulan, it would only take a short time to fly from the battlefield to the city of Tiantian.
The war has already begun and both sides are fighting fiercely, but Ye Changsheng's side remains calm.
Neither he nor Yuan Yao received any news.
Ye Changsheng was not surprised by this situation.
After all, people of his level are generally considered to be the highest level of combat power in Tiannan.
Of course he couldn't take action before the opponent's divine master appeared.
Moreover, the three great cultivators of Tiannan have not gathered together yet, and no one knows where Master Zhiyang and Old Demon Hehuan are. They do not have the conditions to have a decisive battle with the Mulan people, so the cultivators of the Nine Nations Alliance naturally dare not disturb them.
Yuan Yao also benefited from this. Although the Nine-Nation Alliance is seriously short of manpower, they still dare not come to Yuan Yao.
After all, this person is Ye Changsheng's Taoist partner. If something goes wrong after he is sent to the battlefield, who can take responsibility?
Moreover, these people from the Nine-Nation Alliance also knew that even if they came to find Yuan Yao, Ye Changsheng would most likely not agree to let Yuan Yao go to the battlefield.
In that case, there's no need to embarrass yourself.
More than ten days passed like this. Although Ye Changsheng seldom went out, news about the war outside continued to reach his ears.
The Mulan people got some ancient giant beasts from somewhere unknown. They were extremely powerful. Not only did they have thick skin and flesh, they were covered in armor, and were incredibly large in size. They were also blessed with many strange forbidden spells. Even Nascent Soul cultivators could not easily kill these ancient giant beasts.
Once these giant beasts break into a large formation, the restrictions of the formation will be broken quickly.
With the help of these ancient beasts, the Mulan people made rapid progress and successively captured three or four strongholds.
But at a stronghold called Huanglong Mountain, the Mulan people's advance was greatly hindered.
This is because among the several Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in this stronghold, one is Han Li, an elder of the Luoyun Sect.
This Luoyun Sect elder, in the very beginning of the battle, used the evil-repelling divine thunder to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yinluo Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty, shocking the rest of the Mulan Grand Masters.
Afterwards, Han Li used his powerful spiritual sense to eavesdrop on the conversation between Grand Master Mulan and the Yuling Sect cultivator Gu Shuangpu, and learned that this cultivator named Gu was actually a spy for the Mulan people.
So, he joined forces with several other Nascent Soul cultivators to kill this man, and then designed a plan to lure the Mulan people into Huanglong Mountain, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
Seeing that the Mulan army was about to be defeated by Han Li and others, and the Mulan Saint and her holy weapon were about to fall into Han Li's hands, at the critical moment, a divine master of Mulan appeared.
The so-called divine master was a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. When he appeared, Han Li had to flee immediately.
After escaping for a few days, Han Li found that he could not get rid of this great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. He had no choice but to consume a large amount of essence and blood and launch the Blood Escape Technique three times in succession, escaping three hundred miles away, making it impossible for the great cultivator's consciousness to lock onto him.
Then he immediately fled and was never seen again.
Escaping from the hands of a great cultivator immediately made Han Li famous. A cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage was actually able to slip away from under the nose of a great cultivator in the late stage.
This is really an amazing thing.
As for the Mulan people, the divine master named Zhong gave Han Li a very high evaluation after returning in order to avoid being too embarrassed.
It is said that this person's magical powers are slightly superior to those of ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.
Such an evaluation of Han Li by a divine master naturally made Han Li's name very famous among the Mulan people and Tiannan.
After causing a sensation, many people turned their attention with great interest to this cultivator who had just formed his infant form a few years ago.
Naturally, Han Li's past was dug up again and became known to more people.
He formed a pill on the Mulan grassland, was hunted down by various sects in the southern part of China because of the Xuantian Immortal Vine, and became a Nascent Soul cultivator at the age of 200. Every little thing attracted people 's attention.
What surprised people even more was that Elder Han from Luoyun Sect, like Ye Changsheng, the famous fourth greatest cultivator in Tiannan, was from Huangfeng Valley!
At this moment, all those who knew about this for the first time opened their eyes wide with expressions of astonishment.
It feels incredible!
A small Huangfeng Valley is a completely inconspicuous existence among the hundreds of sects in the Tiannan region.
How could such two outstanding talents emerge?
For a time, Patriarch Linghu in Tiantian City had to endure all kinds of gazes every day.
Be it surprise, ridicule, or sympathy, these looks made the helmsman of the Yellow Maple Valley feel extremely bad.
He knew what the looks in those people's eyes meant. It was simply that he was blind and failed to discover the existence of these two geniuses.
Now that these two people have become famous, neither of them is willing to return to Huangfeng Valley. This has to be said to make Patriarch Linghu quite embarrassed.
Long before Han Li became famous, he had invited Han Li and even said that as long as Han Li was willing to come back, everything in Huangfeng Valley would be his.
But Han Li still refused!
This made Patriarch Linghu very helpless. His life span was running out. Once he died, there would be no more Nascent Soul cultivators left to support Huangfeng Valley.
Fortunately, Han Li promised to help Huangfeng Valley to a certain extent in the future, which made the old man feel a little more comforted.
The waves caused by Han Li's rising fame are still fermenting. I think after this war, more people will probably join Huangfeng Valley to explore the secrets of the rise of these two geniuses.
However, at this moment, people were only limited to discussing it, and did not try to find out whether Huang Fenggu had any hidden thoughts.
Because the Mulan people are already at the gates of the city!
After the battle of Huanglong Mountain, with the three great masters of the magic army taking action one after another, it took the Mulan army only half a month to push to the city of Tiantian.
At this time, the reinforcements from the other three forces had not arrived yet. Caught off guard, the Nine-Nation Alliance had to deal with the enemy alone.
On the day when the Mulan army arrived, Wei Wuya, who had visited the other three major forces, just returned.
After learning about the battle situation here, Wei Wuya came to Ye Changsheng with a serious expression.
"Brother Ye, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to take action next!"
These were the first words Wei Wuya said after entering the attic.
"I can't deal with the three divine masters on Mulan's side by myself, and it will take about a month for Zhiyang and Hehuan to arrive!" Wei Wuya said.
Ye Changsheng heard this and said slowly: "Brother Wei, do you know that there is a demon cultivator from Dajin among the army of the Mulan people?"
"Of course I have heard about it. It is said that the Great Jin Demon Cultivator was killed by a fellow Daoist Han who came out of the Yellow Maple Valley with Brother Ye!"
“Haha, your Huangfeng Valley is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Unparalleled talents emerge one after another!” Wei Wuya laughed.
"As far as I know, the origin of that Dajin demon cultivator is not simple!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
"Oh, Brother Ye, did you know something?" Wei Wuya showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Haha, this is what I learned after killing a Mulan Yuanying. Brother Wei, do you know the top ten sects of good and evil in Dajin?" Ye Changsheng asked with a faint smile.
"Although I have never been to Dajin, I have heard some rumors about this place. Of course I know about the ten great demon sects!" Wei Wuya said calmly.
Almost few cultivators from Tiannan have ever been to Dajin. After all, that place is too far away, and it requires crossing the entire Mulan grassland, which is very dangerous.
Wei Wuya's identity is important. As the grand elder of the Nine-Nation Alliance, he cannot easily enter the Mulan Grassland. Naturally, he cannot go to the Dajin.
However, he had heard a lot about Dajin.
Moreover, there have been cultivators from Da Jin who came here before, so they have a lot of knowledge about Da Jin.
"As far as I know, that person is a cultivator from the Yinluo Sect, one of the ten great demon sects in the Great Jin Dynasty!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
Hearing this, Wei Wuya's face suddenly changed and he was a little surprised.
He knew how powerful the Yinluo Sect, a super sect in the Dajin Dynasty, was.
If they could pull out one of their sects, perhaps it would be able to compete with his entire Nine-Nation Alliance.
"As far as I know, there seems to be some kind of restraint between the righteous and evil sects in Dajin. The Yinluo Sect must not dare to send a large number of people to join Mulan's side!" After pondering for a moment, Wei Wuya said slowly.
“That’s true, but even if the other party only sends out a few people, they can still pose a considerable threat, especially if there is a late-stage great cultivator among these people…” Ye Changsheng didn’t finish his words, but Wei Wuya immediately understood what he meant.
Originally, Tiannan had three great monks who were on par with the Mulan people, but Tiannan also had a great monk like Ye Changsheng.
This means that there is one more great monk than the Mulan people.
In this way, Tiannan will naturally gain a great advantage, and Wei Wuya is also very confident of victory in this war.
However, if the other side also has one more great monk, this advantage will most likely be offset.
Thinking of this, Wei Wuya's expression couldn't help but become a little more solemn.
After a moment, he slowly said: "No matter what, our chances of winning this battle are still very high. With Brother Ye's help, even if the other side has more great cultivators from the Great Jin Dynasty, it can only offset their disadvantage in the number of great cultivators!"
"As long as Brother Ye helps us win this battle, I am willing to assist Brother Ye in some issues concerning the distribution of interests in the future. The entire Nine-Nation Alliance will also be Brother Ye's ally!" Wei Wuya said slowly.
Ye Changsheng was waiting for this sentence. Hearing this, he burst into laughter and said, "Brother Wei, you are too polite. Even if you didn't say this, I would still take action!"
"I heard that the Mulan people are already at the gates of the city. In that case, let's go and see what their divine master is capable of!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
