After seeing Han Deling off, Han Changming chatted with Han Benfu for a few words and then walked into the practice room.
He took out the Taiyi Hualing Gourd. After the Taiyi Hualing Gourd absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, the cloud pattern on its surface became larger and larger, and its volume also increased.
He also didn't know what the Taiyi Hualing Gourd would become in the future. Maybe after the Taiyi Hualing Gourd absorbed enough spiritual energy, it would have other functions. However, the spiritual vein of Huludao was only of the second-grade upper grade, and the spiritual energy absorbed by the Taiyi Hualing Gourd was limited.
The Taiyi Hualing Gourd absorbs spiritual energy at a relatively slow speed. Unless the Han family occupies a third-level spiritual vein, it will take an unknown amount of time for the Taiyi Hualing Gourd to absorb enough spiritual energy.
Han Changming put the Barrier Breaking Pill into the Taiyi Hualing Gourd. He planned to use the Taiyi Hualing Gourd to upgrade the Barrier Breaking Pill to a medium grade, which would have a better effect.
He placed the Taiyi Hualing Gourd and the Ling Ju Stone in a corner. He could clearly see that traces of spiritual energy flew out from the Ling Ju Stone and poured into the Taiyi Hualing Gourd. Spots of spiritual light emerged in the void and rushed towards the Taiyi Hualing Gourd.
Han Changming took out a Blood-Forging Pill and put it in his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth. A huge amount of spiritual energy rose in his abdomen and ran around. His skin slowly turned red and his face flushed. He felt the blood in his body boiling and he would explode and die at any time.
Bursts of red and yellow light emerged from Han Changming's body, and his face became distorted, as if he was in some kind of pain.
······
In the Golden Dragon Sea, a five-meter-long green flying boat quickly flew across the sky. Seven foundation-building cultivators stood on the green flying boat. Han Changshuo stood at the end, looking a little nervous.
Han Changshuo has already cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building. He lives a very comfortable life, but he has too little experience in fighting.
Shen Tianming encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, so he organized a team of fellow disciples to go out and hunt monsters together. Han Changshuo also wanted to improve his fighting experience, so he took the initiative to sign up.
Shen Tianming is in the late stage of foundation building, and the other six are in the middle stage of foundation building. This power is not weak.
Not long after, the green flying boat landed on an oval deserted island. The terrain of the deserted island was flat, with dozens of coconut trees. There were some light green particles on the beach, like the feces of monsters.
Shen Tianming squatted down, picked up some green particles as big as longan, crushed them, put them between his nose and sniffed them, and said, "This is the excrement of the green turtle beast. It is not dry yet. There should be a green turtle beast here. It is here."
The size, color and smell of the feces of different monsters are different. In addition to the feces of monsters, the origin of the monsters can also be judged from some traces on the beach.
Han Changshuo nodded thoughtfully. Following Shen Tianming's instructions, they set up a formation, found a place to hide, and waited for the monster to appear.
A day passed quickly.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, a red sun appeared above the sea. The golden sunlight shone on the sea water, reflecting it in light gold, like a light golden desert.
A small head emerged from the sea. It was a giant green turtle about ten feet long, with a thin neck and short limbs. It moved quickly towards the island. At first there was only one giant green turtle, but soon the second and third giant green turtles emerged from the sea one after another and moved towards the deserted island.
Han Changshuo hid behind a huge yellow rock in the distance. He looked through the weeds at the green turtle beasts that were crawling ashore one after another. He looked a little excited. This was his first time hunting a second-level monster.
"Listen to my orders and don't act on your own."
Shen Tianming lowered his voice and spoke with a serious expression.
This time there are two newcomers joining, and he said this to the newcomers.
As long as we wait for the green turtle beasts to enter the formation and activate it, these green turtle beasts will definitely not be able to escape.
One by one, the green turtles climbed ashore and crawled towards the beach.
Seeing the monster getting closer and closer to the formation, Han Changshuo didn't dare to breathe, and stared at the green turtle beast. At this moment, a deafening explosion came from the sky. The green turtle beast was frightened and turned around and disappeared into the vast ocean.
Shen Tianming was filled with anger when he saw this scene.
Two black lights appeared in the sky, and behind the black lights, there were several green lights, and the green lights were faster.
"Fellow Daoist in front, we are disciples of the Five Immortal Sect. Please stop them. They are the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. They have killed a large number of immortal cultivators. Their crimes are unforgivable."
A female voice like a silver bell suddenly came from the sky.
"Ten Thousand Demons Palace!"
Shen Tianming's eyes flashed with surprise, but he remained unmoved. Who knew whether what the other party said was true or false? He didn't want to cause trouble.
The Golden Dragon Sea is a haunted place with all kinds of people, and murders and treasure-stealing incidents happen all the time. If you help the wrong person, wouldn't you be aiding and abetting evil
Two black beams of light suddenly changed direction and increased speed.
"Don't leave, leave everything to me."
A silver rainbow several meters long flew out from the green light, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it headed straight for a black escaping light.
A shrill male scream was heard, and a male corpse fell from the sky and landed not far in front of Shen Tianming. The male corpse was cut in half. The scene was very bloody, but another black light accelerated its speed and disappeared into the sky.
A girl with picturesque features fell from the sky. She was wearing a silver palace dress and had a tall figure. Her brows revealed a bit of heroic spirit that was rare in women. Her face was cold, like an iceberg, and people dared not approach her.
"Fairy Luoshui!"
Shen Tianming recognized the origin of the girl in the silver skirt. The Luoshui Fairy was the key training target of the Five Immortals Sect, and her portrait was widely circulated. Shen Tianming did not expect that the Luoshui Fairy would actually appear in the Golden Dragon Sea.
"I am Shen Tianming of Tinghai Pavilion. I didn't know it was Fairy Ye. I'm really sorry."
Shen Tianming said politely that even if he knew, he would not help. Tinghai Pavilion was not a subsidiary force of the Five Immortals Sect, so he did not have to consider the faces of the Five Immortals Sect disciples.
They had been out to sea for more than half a year without much gain. They finally encountered a group of green turtles, but they were scared away by the Luoshui Fairy. It would be strange if Shen Tianming was willing to help.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, if you had tried to stop them just now, the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace would definitely not have been able to escape."
Fairy Luoshui frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
Shen Tianming smiled bitterly and said with a smile: "Fairy Ye, I didn't know it was you. If I knew, I would definitely help you. We encountered such a thing some time ago, and it almost caused a big mistake."
After hearing this, even if Fairy Luoshui was angry, she couldn't say anything. The people of Tinghai Pavilion were not under the jurisdiction of the Five Immortal Sect, so it was understandable that Shen Tianming didn't help.
"Recently, remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace have appeared. You'd better be careful. Don't think that you will be safe just because you have more people. Several demon hunting teams have been defeated by the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace."
After saying this, Fairy Luoshui flew away and chased after the location where the other black light disappeared.
"The Ten Thousand Demons Palace! It has been destroyed for tens of thousands of years, but there are still remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. It's incredible."
Shen Tianming said to himself that the Wanmo Palace was once the leader of the ten major sects in the East China Sea. However, the Wanmo Palace acted in a domineering manner and wanted to unify the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world, so it was destroyed by other forces.
"I heard that the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, the Ten Thousand Demons Island, sank to the bottom of the sea before it was captured. Every once in a while, the Ten Thousand Demons Island will appear, but the location is not fixed. Could it be that the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace will appear in the Golden Dragon Sea?"
Han Changshuo asked curiously, Wanmo Palace is the largest sect in the East China Sea and has been passed down for more than 100,000 years. I don’t know how many rare treasures it has collected. Even if it gets one treasure, it will benefit it for a lifetime.
"Even if the Ten Thousand Demons Island appears, it won't be our turn. Let's go back quickly! If the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace appear, who knows how big a storm it will cause. If we are caught in the storm, with our cultivation level, we will definitely die without a complete body."
Shen Tianming looked at the departing figure of Luoshui Fairy and said with a frown, a hint of worry in his eyes.
A short and fat young man in a green shirt hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Shen, there is a green turtle beast here. I think we should hunt it down first before going back! We have been out for more than half a year and have gained nothing. It would be too ..."
Shen Tianming glared at the young man in green and scolded him unceremoniously, "It's good to be careful. Being greedy also depends on your strength. This is the Golden Dragon Sea, which is second only to the outer sea in terms of danger. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. The fact that Fairy Luoshui personally hunted down the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace speaks volumes. The Golden Dragon Sea, no, the entire East China Sea may not be able to remain peaceful any longer. Let's go back immediately and report to Master."
Shen Tianming summoned a green flying boat and carried his fellow disciples into the sky. Not long after, they disappeared into the sky.
······
Spring goes and autumn comes, and three years have passed quickly.
In a secluded courtyard, Ye Xin and Ye Xue stood at the door of a three-story green attic. They looked anxious, as if they were waiting for something.
Ye Xue took a bottle of medium-grade Heyuan Dan, secluded himself for three years, and successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.
"Sister, please send a few more sound transmission notes to my husband! Grandfather won't be able to hold out for much longer."
Ye Xue suggested, her tone hurried.
Han Daohe's time is running out, probably in the next two days. Han Changming has not come out of seclusion yet, and no one knows what secret technique he is practicing.
Ye Xin nodded and took out a sound transmission talisman. At this moment, the door opened and Han Changming walked out with a heavy face.
Han Changming's aura was much stronger than before. He used the Taiyi Hualing Gourd to upgrade the Barrier Breaking Pill to a medium grade. After taking the Barrier Breaking Pill, he practiced in seclusion and successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he saw the sound transmission notes sent by Ye Xin and Ye Xue.
Upon learning that Han Daohe would soon pass away, Han Changming was extremely sad.
"Ma'am, how is Grandfather?"
Han Changming asked anxiously. He thought he would be able to advance to the late stage of foundation building after a year or two of seclusion, but he didn't expect that he would be in seclusion for several years.
"Benfu, Benzhi and Benyong are accompanying grandpa at Qianhu Peak. I don't think grandpa will hold on for much longer. He has been holding on, probably waiting to see you for the last time. Husband, let's hurry over!"
Ye Xin urged, Han Daohe lost his son in old age, and after Han Changming was detected to have spiritual roots, Han Daohe placed all his hopes on Han Changming. For Han Changming's immortal path, Han Daohe ran around at an old age and almost lost his life.
Han Changming nodded, and quickly summoned a flying magic weapon, carrying his two wives to fly to Qianhu Peak.
In a secret room at Qianhu Peak, Han Daohe, with a head full of white hair, was lying on the bed. His face was covered with wrinkles and his eyes were bloodshot. His right hand was tightly holding Han Benfu's hand. Han Benzhi and Han Benyong were standing by, looking a little at a loss.
They only recently learned about Han Daohe's existence. They are relatively unfamiliar with Han Daohe, but there is nothing they can do about it. With the traitor Han Dehao out, the Han family dare not let outsiders know about Han Daohe's existence, otherwise it will lead to Han Desheng being exposed. Han Benzhi and Han Benyong are relatively young, and they don't let them know because they are worried that they will let the cat out of the bag.
"Benfu, your father hasn't come out yet?"
Han Daohe spoke weakly, his eyelids drooping.
"Great-grandfather, Dad is on his way, please wait a little longer."
Han Benfu comforted Man with a sad face.
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside, and Han Changming walked in quickly, followed by Ye Xin and Ye Xue.
Han Changming rushed to the bed, tightly grasped Han Daohe's wrinkled hands, and choked up, "Grandfather, I'm here."
"Changming, I have finally waited for you to come. Grandfather has not achieved much in this life, but fortunately you are here. Our family is small, and Grandfather will not be able to help you in the future. You must unite and help each other and continue on the path of immortality together."
After saying this, Han Daohe closed his eyes and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"grandfather!"
Han Changming was heartbroken. He didn't expect that Han Daohe would leave like this. He didn't even have the time to say a few more words to Han Daohe. All the events of the past suddenly emerged in his mind.
······
In a quiet courtyard, an eight-year-old boy sat in front of a stone table, holding a green talisman pen in his hand and some blank talisman papers beside him.
Han Daohe sat aside, looking at Han Changming with a loving face.
Red runes appeared on the talisman paper, and the talisman paper emitted a red light.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy of the talisman paper became violent, and the boy quickly threw the talisman paper away.
With a "puff" sound, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted and burned to ashes.
The boy looked frustrated and said with some guilt: "Grandfather, I failed again."
"If you fail, try again. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you give up. Changming, you must remember that cultivating immortals is not always smooth sailing. When you encounter setbacks or hardships, you must face them optimistically and not be defeated by difficulties."
Han Daohe taught with a friendly face.
"Yes, Grandfather. I will remember it in my heart."
······
"Grandfather, you must be exhausted! You are old now, you don't need to travel far away, stay in Huludao to retire! Your grandson can support himself, I am grown up."
Han Changming, with a childish face, stood behind Han Daohe and rubbed his shoulders.
"You're free anyway, so earn some spirit stones and buy you some more talisman paper. When you become a first-class talisman maker, your grandfather won't have to run around so much."
Han Changming nodded seriously and said, "I will definitely become a first-level talisman maker. By then, grandpa will eat the best and wear the best."
"Okay, then I'll enjoy my leisure time and do nothing, haha."
·······
Han Changming's face was full of tears, his eyes were full of grief, and his tears could not stop flowing out.
"Benfu, all of you please go out! Don't let anyone know what happened today."
Ye Xin asked Han Benfu and the other two to leave. With them present, Han Changming could not vent his grief.
Han Changming has been dependent on Han Daohe since he was a child. Others cannot understand how sad Han Changming is. What he needs now is a good cry to vent the grief in his heart. Keeping it in his heart will hurt his body.
Han Benfu and the other two left one after another. Ye Xin and Ye Xue also walked out. Han Changming could no longer hold back and burst into tears. His tears ran down his cheeks and onto Han Daohe's clothes, wetting them.
