Excitement and exhilaration radiated from the disciples standing on Combat
Peak.
After some consideration, Han Yi did not head to Combat Peak. Instead, a sudden thought struck him and he flew out of Xuandan Sect, releasing the newly acquired Red Moon Immortal Boat. The boat was of a faint red color and if it had hovered in mid-air, any mortal below would have thought it to be a crimson moon, hence its name, Red Moon.
The Red Moon Immortal Boat was extremely fast, and within two hours, it flew across the Hongluan City and arrived at Mengshan City.
Upon retracting the Immortal Boat, Han Yi silently descended into the Zheng Mansion. After a sweep of his divine sense, he vanished, only to reappear in the courtyard where he spotted Zheng Hai practicing martial arts.
It was a basic set of fitness exercises, light and airy, with no remarkable features, serving merely for physical fitness.
Seven years had passed since the last time Han Yi had returned Zheng Hai to Mengshan City.
Gazing at Zheng Hai, Han Yi, with just a glance, saw through his current physical condition.
While he was a mortal, his condition was surprisingly good. If he continued like this, living to his seventies or eighties would not be an issue, and by then Han Yi might have found a means to deal with Zheng Hai’s peculiar physical condition.
After watching Zheng Hai pracise from behind for quite a while, Han Yi was about to call out to him, but suddenly froze.
This time, he had intended to find Zheng Hai to chat about the events of the past few years. It had almost become a habit for him to share everything with Zheng Hai, barring the Golden Finger. Han Yi could basically tell him anything. However, seeing that Zheng Hai was in good shape, he decided it would be best not to disturb him for now.
A sudden inspiration struck him, and with a flick of his finger, a gentle spirit light entered Zheng Hai’s body. This spirit energy didn’t have any attributes and was entirely dispersed from his body after three breaths, not a trace of it remaining.
With a soft sigh, Han Yi did not try again. His figure shimmered and he disappeared from the spot.
In the courtyard, Zheng Hai, who was lethargically practicing martial arts, seemed to sense something. He looked back in confusion but there was no sign of anyone in his field of vision. He deemed it as a figment of his imagination and continued to persistently practice his martial arts.
Upon returning to Xuandan Sect, Han Yi paid another visit to Zhuge Wu You. They discussed the situation of the sect. Zhuge Wu You’s broader perspective helped Han Yi understand many issues that he had been unable to comprehend before, providing him with a sudden insight.
Following that…
Zhuge Wu You asked Han Yi to choose a peak in the Inner Peak to preside over.
In Xuandan Sect, when one advanced to Golden Core and became a Supreme Elder, they could choose to preside over one of the peaks in the Inner Peak.
For instance, Zhuge Wu You originally presided over White Tiger Peak. After Fu Xuanxu’s demise, he was transferred to Azure Dragon Peak while Qin Wuxian took over White Tiger Peak.
Huo Ming presided over Zhu Rong Peak, Si Hongxue took over Black Tortoise Peak, Shen Ping chose Golden Court Peak, while Lian Tingxi opted for Red Sun Peak. And Zhu Siyuan, who was in seclusion, would certainly choose Dan Sword Peak if he managed to break through to Golden Core.
After much thought, Han Yi chose Vermilion Bird Peak.
For him, out of the nine peaks on the Inner Peak, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Red Sun held the most significance.
The Azure Dragon Palace goes without saying.
And the Vermilion Bird Peak was the place where he found himself when he first arrived. As soon as he opened his eyes upon arrival, he found himself in the grand hall of Vermilion Bird. As for the Red Sun Peak, he often frequented the Red Sun Fang during the middle period of his Qi Cultivation, hence his deep connection to this Inner Peak.
Choosing Vermilion Bird Peak not only took into account his initial arrival at there, but also because its initial presider was Fu Canghai.
After Fu Canghai’s demise, Han Yi was now taking the position. This could be considered a silent inheritance.
in addition, residing at the highest tower of any Inner Peak brought numerous advantages. The greatest benefit was undoubtedly the Spirit Vein. All towers in the Inner Peak were situated above either third or fourth-stage Spirit Veins.
The Vermilion Bird Peak was located above a fourth – stage Spirit Vein.
Of course, the selection of the Inner Peak tower was not solely based on the Spirit Vein, but also on the cultivator’s cultivation technique or characteristics. Hence, Huo Ming’s choice of Zhu Rong Peak and Shen Ping’s choice of Golden Court Peak.
Vermilion Bird Peak perfectly suited Han Yi.
After entering the tower, Han Yi activated the formation. The concentration of Spirit Energy in the cultivation room during this training session exceeded the previous ones. It was even denser than in the Eternal Joy Garden of Daqian Immortal Country, which pleased Han Yi immensely.
Just having a Spirit Vein cultivation environment like this was incredibly precious for Golden Core cultivators.
The importance of ‘place’ in the saying ‘wealth, companion, law, place’ – indicating Daoist practice’s location – was most directly reflected in the rank of Spirit Vein in the Yu Heng World.
However…
Within half a month, Qin Wuxian had already returned to the sect. Afterwards, without further ado, he took Han Yi and headed straight for the Blood Sea.
Han Yi did not refuse. He was no longer at the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages. He no longer wished to run away.
On the Immortal Boat…
Qin Wuxian marvelled at Han Yi’s breakthrough to Golden Core. Despite his high estimation of Han Yi, he had not expected Han Yi to reach Golden Core in such a short span of time. Moreover, as soon as Han Yi stepped into Golden Core stage, he demonstrated his incredible talent, slaying six Golden Core cultivators.
Seeing Qin Wuxian’s usual composure and understanding that the injury from years ago didn’t have any lingering effects, Han Yi let out a sigh of relief.
Within Xuandan Sect, Yuan Shun had already broken through to Nascent Soul, and the second strongest in the sect was not Zhuge Wu You, but Qin Wuxian.
Qin Wuxian, ranked eighty-eighth on the Master List, with the title “Master No Immortal”, was naturally somewhat more powerful than Zhuge Wu You. Beneath Qin Wuxian was Zhuge Wu You, followed by Si Hongxue, Huo Ming and others.
However, after praising Han Yi’s rapid progress, Qin Wuxian’s expression became solemn as he discussed the matter of the Blood Sea.
“According to my sources, numerous Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects have gathered at the periphery of the Blood Sea over the past half a month.”
“Han Yi, when we get there, contribute where necessary and avoid places of danger. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Remember this well.”
Fearing that Han Yi did not understand the severity of the situation; Qin Wuxian urged him multiple times. Han Yi naturally nodded in agreement.
As for showing off and stealing the limelight, Han Yi was indifferent.
“By the way, Brother Qin, what exactly is the situation at the Blood Sea?” “Why hasn’t it been resolved after more than a month and a half?
Han Yi had this doubt in his mind. He had previously asked Shen Ping and Zhuge Wu You the same, but no one had a certain answer without a confirmed source of information.
Qin Wuxian’s words earlier had hinted that he knew something about the situation. Naturally, Han Yi didn’t want to miss this opportunity. He wanted to be clear about the situation, so that he could make a targeted choice in case of an emergency.
However, Qin Wuxian’s next sentence left Han Yi’s face pale.
“The Blood Sea… has burst.”
