Chapter 561: Chapter 271: Golden Core Peak, The Fifth Soul Skill_2
Han Yi put the glowing token into the Qiankun Ring and tidied up. He left the cave mansion and flew towards the center of the Yao Pavilion. He landed in front of the Di Hong Trading Firm and walked in, handing over the token.
In the ten years since he’d last been here, the trading firm hadn’t changed much. Even the shopkeeper was the same, though he was now noticeably older and so corroded that his demon qi gave off a decayed aura.
The shopkeeper recognized Han Yi and said, “Fellow cultivator, please follow me to the back courtyard to wait. In two hours, a trading firm’s Immortal Boat will take you to Di Jiang Mountain.”
He added, “I should also inform you that this time, the passage between the two realms will lead to the Tianquan World.”
Han Yi nodded without objections. Following the shopkeeper, he walked to the back courtyard. As soon as he stepped inside, he felt a sudden chill in his heart. There were already five demon cultivators waiting there.
Among the five, there were two at the Golden Core Peak and three who had already surpassed the Golden Core Stage, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage; these were three Evil Saints.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Han Yi now appeared as a Golden Core Peak cultivator with the strong aura of a bull demon, but he was the weakest among the five.
The others looked at him; the three Evil Saints scanned him with their divine senses without restraint, then withdrew their gazes. A small Golden Core Peak Evil King was not enough to attract their attention.
However,
The two Evil Kings approached Han Yi. He identified that one was a Heavenly Ape Evil King and the other was a Thunder Wolf Evil King. However, Han Yi didn’t seem very enthusiastic, so the two shared a subtle glance and retreated to one side.
Han Yi’s eyes flickered as he took a quick glance at one of the three Evil Saints present. This Evil Saint should be at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. Han Yi thought that after reaching the Golden Core Peak, he could now attempt to kill even a half-step Evil Saint or an early-stage Nascent Soul Evil Saint, but facing a mid-stage Nascent Soul would only allow him to protect himself.
Whether demon cultivators or regular cultivators, the higher the realm, the more difficult and incredible it became to cross realms.
In the Master List of Daqian, only the top three had killed Nascent Soul Monarchs who were at the early-stage of Nascent Soul. In other words, Han Yi was now completely stepping into the top three of the Master List, and might even contend for the first place.
However, these were all empty titles. Even if he were to return to Daqian, he would not really challenge Monarch cultivators for these empty titles.
A moment later, more demon cultivators arrived at the trading firm. Two hours later, when an Immortal Boat hovered in the sky, there were already seventeen demon cultivators waiting in the back courtyard: ten Evil Saints and seven Evil Kings, including Han Yi as one of the six Golden Core Peak Evil Kings.
An Evil Saint descended from the Immortal Boat in the sky, holding a list of names. After checking it one by one and confirming it was correct, he collected the tokens from the hands of everyone and led the group to board the Immortal Boat in the sky.
Upon reaching the Immortal Boat, Han Yi’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. At this moment, there were more than thirty Evil Saints and over twenty Evil Kings on the Immortal Boat.
With the addition of his trading firm, there were over forty Evil Saints and over thirty Evil Kings. This many Evil Saints alone would already outnumber the True Monarchs of a Holy Land in Daqian.
The massive Immortal Boat, even faster than any other Han Yi had ever seen before, set sail again. This was an Immortal Boat that had surpassed the level of a top-grade magic treasure, reaching the level of a Spiritual Treasure.
The Immortal Boat crossed millions of miles and entered the depths of the Undying Mountain Range before reaching the core of the Di Hong clan, Di Jiang Mountain. It finally stopped in a valley on Di Jiang Mountain.
Han Yi had thought that powerful demon cultivators would inspect them thoroughly, but what followed was so simple that even he couldn’t believe it.
Like the other demon cultivators, he was led into a huge cave in the valley. The cave was so enormous that it gave Han Yi the illusion that it was a Cave Heaven World.
Numerous ancient murals and runes decorated the cave walls, depicting a nine-headed snake roaring to the heavens, a Golden Crow Divine Bird being reborn from the fire, a proud demon monkey stirring chaos in the Immortal Realm, and a defying Evil Immortal swallowing the sun and moon.
At the depths of the cave, the demon cultivators stopped. Looking ahead, Han Yi saw an ancient doorway at the bottom of the cave, and two huge, ancient bronze pillars stood on either side of it. On the pillars, ancient bronze true dragons coiled around the sculptures.
Standing in front of the door were two creatures with such dense demon qi that it was almost terrifying. Han Yi took one look and his pupils shrank, his expression changing slightly along with those of the other demons.
Peak Evil Saint.
However, while the other demon cultivators had grown fearful due to the auras of these two Peak Evil Saints, Han Yi’s expression had only changed because he feared being exposed.
His Disguise Technique had only advanced 85%, and it wasn’t that he didn’t want to spend all his time on it during these ten years. He just found that once it had reached 80% or higher, progress became much slower.
After much thought, he decided to allocate his time to other skills and realms for a balanced development.
Nevertheless, his strong self-control made him appear just like the other demon cultivators. He retracted his aura and made no other movements.
At this point, the other demon cultivators remained silent, while the two Peak Evil Saints at the entrance merely glanced at them before looking away, not saying anything.
