High above the Star Realm, the great battle concluded, and everyone dispersed, except for Yao Dan, who had been specifically called out.
As the clan leader, Yao Dan had managed the Medicine Clan for hundreds of years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a shrewd individual. With just a little thought, he almost immediately understood that the relationship between Yao Chen and Zhao Li was likely extraordinary, and he quickly figured out what he needed to do.
Since he had decided to build a good relationship, he wouldn't let any thoughts of losing face hold him back. He directly gave Zhao Li a First-Class Jade Talisman, symbolizing the most esteemed status within the Medicine Clan.
After agreeing on a time for future communication, he left with Yan Jin. Along the way, he could feel that Yan Jin's gaze towards him was slightly different from before. Amidst the envy, there seemed to be a hint of flattery...
Seeing everyone leave, Zhao Li turned back to look at the Star Realm. The light screens covering the mountains slowly retracted, eventually dissipating into nothingness. Under the terrifying energy aftershocks, countless tall mountains in this range had been reduced to ashes during the battle. It was unknown how long it would take for the area to recover its former tranquility.
Sighing softly in his heart, Zhao Li disappeared from the spot and reappeared within the Starfall Pavilion. By this time, Feng Xian had already handled everyone. Those who needed to be befriended were befriended, and those who needed to be thanked were thanked. With Zhao Li's deterrent presence, everything went smoothly. However, the Soul Hall was completely gone, leaving only the Blood River Sect, which had been used as a Tool. This left him feeling a little regretful.
Looking at the dissipating light screens and the bare mountains, Feng Xian's fists clenched tightly, his desire for strength growing even stronger.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life. Feng Xian will never forget this kindness."
Upon seeing Zhao Li, Feng Xian immediately performed a deep bow. He knew that all of this was because he had benefited from Yao Chen. Otherwise, in front of a Dou Sheng, no one would care about the fate of the Starfall Pavilion, and even if they wanted to help, they would be powerless.
Zhao Li nodded. Feng Xian had handled things quite appropriately and could already be considered a qualified leader of a force. It was no wonder that in the original storyline, the Starfall Pavilion's name could still appear in the rhyme of One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions.
"It was nothing. I also heard about Little Yao's matter. To this day, I still have no news of him."
Although he felt there was a ninety percent chance that Yao Chen had not completely perished, Zhao Li didn't dare to make a definitive guarantee before actually finding him. After all, under his influence, even a Soul Clan Dou Sheng had taken action...
He didn't realize he was merely stating a fact, but when Feng Xian heard it, his heart suddenly sank.
If someone else had said the same thing, he might have just smiled and dismissed it. But when it came from a powerful figure like Zhao Li, even though Feng Xian was unwilling to believe it, he felt that the possibility of Yao Chen being alive was becoming increasingly slim.
But soon, he firmed his resolve again and said:
"Thank you, Senior. A living person can't just disappear into thin air. I will find my brother, even if..."
Even if he was gone, there should at least be some clues. Moreover, he found the disappearance of Han Feng very strange. Perhaps, he was the breakthrough.
Zhao Li didn't try to persuade him, merely giving him some instructions and telling him to inform him promptly if he got any news before leaving the place.
Meeting the Soul Hall's attack and even Exchange Blows with Hun Tiandi this time had completely exceeded his expectations. Now, he faintly felt the opportunity to break through to Nine Star. He needed to return and go into seclusion. When he emerged again, it would be the time when he was invincible on the Continent.
At the same time, in the Soul Realm, Hun Tiandi looked at the Five-Colored handprint in front of him, which was only about a zhang in size but as heavy as a giant mountain. His expression was so gloomy it seemed Water could drip from it.
As a peak Nine Star expert, he was temporarily unable to break through the Five Elements Small Mountain without damage and rescue Soul Extinguisher and the others who were suppressed within it.
He could, of course, use his powerful strength to shatter that Five-Colored Small Mountain, but that would be meaningless, because before the Small Mountain was broken, the first ones who wouldn't be able to withstand it would definitely be Soul Extinguisher and the others!
In just half a move, the high-ranking members of the Soul Hall were almost completely annihilated! It was also because of his immense strength that he was able to carry this Small Mountain back to the Soul Realm. Otherwise, if they had been left suppressed outside, it probably wouldn't have taken long for the Soul Clan's face to be completely lost.
Not long after, his brows relaxed, and a strangely bright light flashed in his eyes. He murmured to himself:
"For a thousand years, I have been unable to advance further. I thought that below the Dou Di Realm, the strongest was nothing more than my current Realm. I never expected that Cultivation could be done this way."
Which person who could Cultivate to Nine Star Dou Sheng wasn't a Heaven's Chosen? After the previous battle, Zhao Li wasn't the only one who gained something. He also had some slight enlightenment. It seemed that besides refining the Dou Qi that could not be advanced further, the power that existed between heaven and earth could also make him stronger!
"I should thank you for your gift. In the future, I will definitely present you with a generous gift!"
Hun Tiandi looked at the Five-Colored Small Mountain flowing with light before him and couldn't help but chuckle. Wasn't this strange Dou Technique the best Teacher to guide him into the Gate?
With this thought, Hun Tiandi immediately issued two death orders. One was to investigate Zhao Li's background and list his threat to him above Gu Yuan! The second was to order the Soul Hall to lie low from now on and stop stirring up trouble on the Continent. From then on, the Soul Hall was only considered the ears and eyes of the Soul Clan.
An interesting thing also happened during this time. Nihility Devouring Flame actually argued with Hun Tiandi because of this and was forcefully suppressed by Hun Tiandi.
Only then did Nihility Devouring Flame realize how naive it had been to previously want to play along with Hun Tiandi and act as the mantis stalking the cicada, with itself as the oriole behind. No matter how many schemes it had, in the face of absolute strength, they were nothing!
Hun Tiandi didn't care about any of that. Previously, he cooperated with Nihility Devouring Flame because he couldn't advance further. To make Nihility Devouring Flame play a greater role, he sent out the Soul Hall to set up Array Formation and also harvest souls. But now, he found that even if Nihility Devouring Flame truly entered the Emperor Realm Soul, it would be useless.
And now, he had found a Route to continue becoming stronger. For this, making Nihility suffer a little was also proper. It just needed to obediently become a Tool for the Soul Clan to harvest the descendants of the Imperial Clans...
Similar things to what happened with the Soul Clan also occurred among the other Ancient Imperial Clans. Of course, they were much gentler. Even when inquiring about information, they were cautious, fearing that they might accidentally displease Zhao Li and cause him to come knocking.
Moreover, they also diverted some of their attention to the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan. It was precisely because of this that they discovered that since that great battle, the already mysterious Soul Clan seemed to have completely disappeared from the world.
Even the infamous and formidable Soul Hall on the Continent had become docile. Their traces were almost gone from the Central Plains, and they had completely vanished from the Southern Region of Central Plains, which seemed to have become a forbidden area for the Soul Hall.
However, the movements of these few Ancient Clans were only carried out in secret. But those who experienced the battle that day were not just these powerhouses, but also people from several first-rate forces on the Continent!
Even with their knowledge and understanding, they didn't know the true strength of Zhao Li and the others, nor did they know how terrifying the forces behind Hun Tiandi and the others were...
But what they did know was that the powerhouses of the Soul Hall, who had shocked their minds and even made them unable to muster any thought of resistance, were completely annihilated under Zhao Li!
They knew that the Energy Fluctuation leaked from the Exchange Blows between the two was just a trace, enough to kill them countless times over!
They also knew that the Pills that person casually took out were the kind they had to be respectful to those Alchemists for, plead for, and might even fail to obtain...
No matter who it was, as long as any one of these things happened to them, it would be enough to make them famous throughout the Continent. What's more, all of these were displayed by Zhao Li!
Thus, his story spread among them, and he once again became famous on the Continent. And this time, he was Zhao Li!
