A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Old Devil Cloud Dew

Following the sudden voice, Han Li appeared at the entrance of the hall and walked in with a calm expression.

“Junior Brother Han, you’re finally out of seclusion. That’s great!” While the other cultivators bowed and greeted Han Li, Lu Luo stood up with a smile to welcome him.

“I didn’t completely succeed. I originally wanted to continue my seclusion, but I was worried about the Moulan people, so I came out to take a look first. It seems that I came out in time,” Han Li said with a chuckle.

“Hehe! Looks like you’ve also heard what those Martial Nephews said. However, there have been quite a few people who want to see you recently. I don’t care about anything else, but I’m sure you’ll be able to attend the high-level meeting that the three great cultivators are hosting tomorrow. After all, our Drifting Cloud Sect is going all out this time, and I don’t want our sect’s disciples to suffer too many casualties. Listen to those in charge and tell me how they plan this battle so that I can have some confidence,” Lu Luo said with a solemn expression.

“Mm, since I know about this, I will definitely go and take a look tomorrow. I’ve also heard of the three great cultivators for a long time. I’m looking forward to the gathering tomorrow.” Han Li agreed.

Han Li’s answer made Lu Luo very happy. He immediately chatted with Han Li about some things that had happened in the past two months.

“The spell warriors have begun to attack the few great formations at the border!” Han Li frowned and repeated when he heard Lu Luo’s words.

“That’s right. Actually, this only happened three to four days ago. Although there were no casualties, it was a sign that the Moulan had finished their preparations,” Lu Luo said in a deep voice.

Han Li’s eyes flickered and he slowly asked, “The Moulan people are almost done with their preparations. How are our manpower arrangements? It should be about time!”

Lu Luo explained, “We’re different from the Moulan people. Although the Moulan spell warriors are from various tribes and are quite chaotic, they don’t have as many large and small sects as we do in the Heavenly South Region. It’s much more troublesome to form teams based on the characteristics of their cultivation techniques, the power of their magic treasures, and even the amount of their cultivation bases. Furthermore, the Moulan people have been preparing for this invasion for a long time. It’s indeed a little late for us to make preparations now. However, it’s a good thing that the four great factions are still united this time and have already made most of their preparations. Even if we were to start the war immediately, we might still stand a chance.”

“If that’s the case, the war is really about to start.” Han Li touched his nose and said with a gloomy expression.

Lu Luo sighed and helplessly said, “That’s most likely right. Otherwise, the three great cultivators wouldn’t have gathered so quickly and convened tomorrow’s gathering in such a hurry. Mid-Nascent Soul cultivators are top-notch existences in our Heavenly South Region.”

Hearing the discussion between Han Li and Lu Luo, the two elders of the Drifting Cloud Sect, the other cultivators in the hall unconsciously became solemn.

However, Han Li suddenly changed the topic and asked about the recent arrangements of the Drifting Cloud Sect disciples. Lu Luo and the others told Han Li everything in detail.

When he heard that most of the Drifting Cloud Sect disciples had been arranged into several different groups of cultivators to practice group combat abilities all day, Han Li nodded and did not say anything.

This arrangement was quite normal. After all, this wasn’t a one-on-one battle between cultivators. No matter how powerful a cultivator was, if they were attacked by tens of thousands of well-trained cultivators at the same time, they could only die on the spot.

Of course, under normal circumstances, these high-grade cultivators wouldn’t put themselves in such a dangerous situation. So long as they weren’t trapped by groups of cultivators, these high-grade cultivators could use large-scale abilities to kill low-grade cultivators in large groups.

As such, being able to keep hostile high-grade cultivators in check was also an extremely important matter.

As for the battle between the cultivators and spell warriors, the situation was about the same.

In a battle between high-grade cultivators and Moulan spell warriors, no matter which side was unable to keep the other side in check, they would lose most of the battle without even fighting. Thus, although Han Li asked about the Drifting Cloud Sect, he was already thinking about the true purpose of the three great cultivators of the Heavenly South gathering mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

In addition to organizing the movements of the cultivator army, they would most likely also have to set up some specific strategies to deal with Moulan Grand Sages.

As Han Li thought of this, he could not help but sneer in his heart.

This time, he used two months to completely expel the azure flames from the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. He also used the Divine Devilbane Lightning to refine the azure flames mixed with Green Essence Sword Qi into seven or eight lightning beads. As for the rest, they all failed and dissipated on their own.

Seeing this, Han Li could not help but laugh bitterly. This was a wonderful way to extinguish these green lantern flames.

After chatting with these people for a while, Han Li bade them farewell and left the hall. He returned to the pavilion that was specially prepared for him to conserve his energy.

He had spent the past two months continuously expelling the azure flames from his flying swords and immediately refining the lightning beads. He was truly exhausted.

…

The next morning, Han Li set off from the encampment and calmly walked towards the central area. Not long after, he faintly saw a huge stone hall.

Because the entire Tianyi City had been built at the last minute, even the large halls used by the upper echelons of the four large factions were ordinary and somewhat crude. Furthermore, apart from being slightly taller than the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s meeting hall, they were almost identical.

However, there were several Core Formation cultivators guarding the door. When these people saw Han Li walk over, they swept their spiritual sense and immediately welcomed him.

One of the Core Formation cultivators bowed and respectfully said, “Senior, only mid-Nascent Soul cultivators and above can attend today’s meeting. Senior, you are…”

“This is for you.” Without waiting for the other party to finish, Han Li raised his hand and threw a white jade slip over.

It was the invitation letter that had been sent over yesterday.

The guard swept his spiritual sense past the jade slip and apologetically said, “So you’re Senior Han. I apologize for my lack of manners. Please come in!”

Han Li smiled slightly. Just as he was about to walk in, his expression suddenly changed and he turned his head to look.

On one side of the street, two people were slowly walking over, one in front of the other. They were a man and a woman.

The man appeared to be only in his twenties. He wore a gorgeous brocade robe, and his skin was fair and translucent. His appearance was exceptionally handsome, and his every movement was elegant and unrestrained.

However, if one were to look closer, they would discover that the young man’s eyes would occasionally reveal an expression of vicissitudes. There were also crow’s feet that didn’t match his appearance. As a result, this person’s age immediately increased by over ten years.

However, the strangest thing was that when others first laid eyes on this person, they’d feel an indescribable aura of feminine aura from his body. It was as if he were a woman disguised as a man. It was truly incomparably strange.

The moment Han Li saw this man, his heart trembled and his face turned solemn.

This person was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and should also be participating in this meeting. From his demonic appearance, he was most likely a Devil Dao cultivator. Which sect was he from?

Han Li’s mind was racing as his gaze landed on the woman half a step behind him.

“Huh!” Han Li exclaimed in surprise.

The woman was young and beautiful. She wore a gorgeous red dress and walked with graceful steps. Her figure was attractive and enchanting.

However, after Han Li saw this woman’s face clearly, he first had a strange expression on his face. After the strange expression faded, a faint bitter smile appeared on his face.

Dong Xuan’er! It was actually this woman.

Now, there was no need to guess. Han Li already knew that the old monster who looked like a young man in front of her was definitely a cultivator from the number one sect of the Devil Dao, the Harmonious Bond Sect.

After so many years, Dong Xuan’er had already reached mid Core Formation stage. In light of her poor aptitude and spiritual roots, this was quite surprising.

Han Li stood at the entrance of the hall and stared at them without moving. Naturally, the Core Formation cultivators guarding the door also looked at the two of them.

When they saw this person, most of the cultivators turned pale. One of them even muttered with unease, “I didn’t think that Devil Gu of the Harmonious Bond Sect would also come.”

“Devil Gu?” Hearing this, Han Li suddenly thought of someone.

Apart from the late-Nascent Soul Stage Devil Concord, the Harmonious Bond Sect also had a rather renowned old eccentric surnamed Gu.

This person was born with an exceptional aptitude. He cultivated the top Devil Dao cultivation arts of the Harmonious Bond Sect and was proficient in the Dao of Nourishment. He called himself “Daoist Master Cloud Dew”, while others called him “Old Devil Cloud Dew”.

It was unknown whether it was because of his cultivation arts or because of his lustful nature, but he often snatched and raped people for cultivation.

Regardless of whether it was a handsome man or a beautiful woman, so long as they caught his eye, he wouldn’t let them go. As a result, he had offended many large sects.

However, his cultivation was truly deep and unfathomable. He had always been in seclusion and had the backing of the Harmonious Bond Sect. No one could do anything to him. In addition, this person was not a bloodthirsty person. Once he finished his absorption and cultivation, he would let them go. The sects and seniors of these victims could only try their best to hide the truth and pinch their noses as they gave up on this matter.

However, this person in the cultivation world of the Heavenly South was truly fearsome.

When the young cultivators heard of his name, all of them fled. Those who couldn’t escape were also trembling with fear, their faces deathly pale. They were afraid that he would take a fancy to them.

Could it be that this young man was that old monster?

Although Han Li was not afraid of this person, he muttered a few words in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.

Coincidentally, the handsome young man also noticed Han Li, who was standing in front of the hall. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Han Li from afar. Suddenly, he smiled at him, revealing a trace of charm.

Seeing this, Han Li felt a chill run down his spine. After forcing a smile, he turned around and strode into the huge hall without looking at Dong Xuan’er’s shocked expression.

He had no intention of dealing with such an old monster.

“Why? Do you know that person? Just now, your heartbeat suddenly sped up a lot.” The young man slowly looked at the entrance of the hall. When he saw that Han Li’s figure had disappeared, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he asked Dong Xuan’er behind him indifferently.
