Li Feiyu put the Nascent Soul that Crimson Crow brought back into his sleeve, then smiled and said, "Since the victor has been decided, let's end this matter here."
He activated his Divine Ability, retrieved the Geomagnetic Pearl, and placed the cylindrical stone platform back in its original position.
After the yellow light circulated, it was exactly the same as before.
"Everyone, disperse."
Li Feiyu waved his hand, and after he flew away, everyone else also dispersed.
Wei Lichen looked deeply at Han Li, then at Nangong Wan, feeling quite annoyed in his heart, but seeing Han Li's Divine Ability, he did not dare to offend him too much.
If he had stepped onto this Life-and-Death Stage just now, his fate would probably be the same as Masked Moon Sect's Grand Elder.
And since this was a life-and-death duel hosted by Li Feiyu, even if he died here, his grand-uncle would not come to trouble Li Feiyu for him.
Unless one day, his strength surpassed Li Feiyu's.
But, hope was slim.
He sighed softly and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, it was a misunderstanding. I, Wei, will take my leave first."
Han Li nodded slightly.
Although he also wanted to teach this guy who was pestering Nangong Wan a lesson, Li Feiyu had just said not to cause trouble, and he didn't want to embarrass him and make him lose his prestige.
"Wan'er, are you alright?"
Nangong Wan shook her head, "It's you, actually. A Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator actually dared to attack a Middle Stage Cultivator. I didn't expect you to actually succeed. I'm afraid I'm no longer your opponent."
"You don't blame me for killing your Masked Moon Sect's Grand Elder?"
"If I kill her, I'm afraid your Masked Moon Sect's strength will decline quite a bit!"
"No matter. Anyway, she and I were not on good terms to begin with, and my Masked Moon Sect still has a deep Foundation. There are multiple Nascent Soul Elders within the Sect, so no major problems will arise for a while."
Han Li's gaze was like fire, staring into Nangong Wan's eyes, and he said solemnly, "Wan'er, you should follow me from now on."
"Masked Moon Sect treated you like this, so there's no need for you to go back."
"Follow you? What am I to you?"
Han Li immediately said, "Naturally, you are my Dao Companion. In fact, I have always kept you in my heart and thought of you constantly, but because of the vast difference between us back then, I could only bury these feelings deep within my heart."
"Now, all obstacles are gone. Even if there are any, I have the strength to flatten them, to crush them!"
Looking at Han Li, Nangong Wan was moved.
A rare blush appeared on her Face, "Actually… me too. I never forgot you in my heart."
Han Li was so excited that he couldn't help but embrace Nangong Wan's waist, pulling her into his arms.
Nangong Wan did not resist, only feeling a little shy.
Han Li asked again, "Wan'er, are you willing to become my Dao Companion?"
"I… I am willing."
Han Li was so happy he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Oh right, come with me to a place."
Han Li pulled Nangong Wan and flew towards the west.
"You're quite bold. Immortal Ascension City is Li Feiyu's territory. Although your Divine Ability is impressive, you still have no chance of winning against him."
Nangong Wan said with a worried expression.
"I know, but don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Who are you taking me to see? This… further ahead is Five Elements Sect's territory."
"With me here, just rest assured."
When they encountered Five Elements Sect's protective Formation, Han Li flew straight in, surprising Nangong Wan.
"You…"
He brought Nangong Wan to the bottom of the cave.
"Since you are willing to become my wife, then I am willing to tell you my story as well."
At this moment, Li Feiyu flashed and appeared before them.
Nangong Wan respectfully said, "Greetings, Senior Li."
"Why call me Senior? Junior Sister-in-law, since you are willing to become my Junior Brother Han's Dao Companion, then we are naturally family."
Han Li glared, displeased, "Senior Brother Li, you are too shameless! Relying on your Divine Sense being stronger than mine, you actually secretly spied?"
"Haha, what can you do to me?"
Nangong Wan saw how familiar the two of them were and her mind couldn't quite process it.
She looked at Han Li and softly asked, "You… are Senior Brothers?"
"But I remember, there wasn't anyone named Li Feiyu in Yellow Maple Valley before?"
Han Li said, "That's because Senior Brother Li and I knew each other before joining Yellow Maple Valley. We belonged to the same Sect, and our relationship has been good since childhood."
"Perhaps you only know that Senior Brother Li returned from Chaotic Star Sea, but actually, I did too."
"The person who went with Senior Brother Li back then was me."
Nangong Wan suddenly understood, "No wonder when I later inquired about your news, I couldn't find any trace."
"And no wonder when you reappeared, you were already a Nascent Soul Cultivator. I suppose you also obtained a great Opportunity in Chaotic Star Sea, just like Senior Li."
"Something like that."
"Junior Sister-in-law, calling me Senior is too formal. From now on, when it's just us, you can call me Senior Brother Li, just like Han Li does."
"However, in front of outsiders, forget it. Just act as you normally would."
"Understood, Senior Brother Li."
Han Li said, "Wan'er, do you want to go to Chaotic Star Sea to see? The scenery there has a unique charm."
"Is that allowed?"
Li Feiyu waved his hand, "Go, go. Junior Brother Han and I don't need to be so clear-cut."
Then he transmitted a message to Han Li, "Go for it, try to win her over!"
Han Li rolled his eyes, then used the Ancient Teleportation Array to go to Chaotic Star Sea.
Afterward, he went to Xing Yao'er's stone chamber and engaged in a passionate encounter with her.
Two days later, Han Li and the others returned and went to Immortal Ascension City to await Five Elements Sect's grand Sect ceremony tomorrow.
Han Li found Cheng Tiankun and introduced Nangong Wan to him.
Cheng Tiankun was overjoyed and immediately made the decision to acknowledge Nangong Wan as his sworn sister, promising to choose an auspicious day to hold their Dual Cultivation ceremony.
The next day, as dawn broke.
In Immortal Ascension City, hundreds of thousands of Aura shot out, flying towards Immortal Ascension City in the west.
A moment later, Immortal Ascension City was like an empty city.
Because of the special day, Li Feiyu temporarily removed the grand Formation, allowing visitors to enter unhindered.
Streaks of spiritual light in the sky, like meteors, created a grand scene of myriad immortals coming to pay homage.
Several Core Formation Cultivators guided the crowd, leading them to the Sect square.
The square, hundreds of zhang wide, had twelve colossal stone carved pillars standing tall around it.
Various exotic beasts were carved on the pure white pillars, with no two of the twelve being alike.
The square's ground was paved with green bricks, faintly shimmering with Restriction light, making it not easily damaged.
At this moment, in the center of the square, hundreds of Qi Condensation Cultivators, dressed in unified five-colored Daoist robes, stood in neat rows, with Li Feiyu, Zhou Yuan, Gu Mingyang, Jin Yuan, and other important Sect figures standing in front.
The arrivals all stood to the side, not uttering a word, quietly observing.
Li Feiyu spoke, "Many thanks to the Fellow Daoists of Heavenly South for gracing us with your presence. My Five Elements Sect has just been established, and its Foundation is not yet stable. In the future, we will still need everyone's continued support."
Li Feiyu bowed slightly, and everyone could only return the bow, saying, "Senior Li (Fellow Daoist Li) worries too much."
"Alright, the Sect ceremony now begins. The first item is the Sect Master handover ceremony."
"Mingyang!"
Gu Mingyang walked from behind to stand before Li Feiyu and knelt down.
"This is my second Disciple, Gu Mingyang. He is dull in talent, and after cultivating for over a hundred years, he has only just entered Core Formation. As I have no desire for Sect affairs, I am entrusting Five Elements Sect to my Disciple."
"I hope all Fellow Daoists will give him Face and not make things too difficult for my Disciple in the future."
Afterward, Li Feiyu handed the Sect Master token, engraved with the Five Elements Sword, to Gu Mingyang, and bestowed numerous treasures upon him.
These were all for show. After the ceremony, Li Feiyu would also give him his trump cards.
He had slightly refined the set of Five Elements Sword Formation that Gu Changfeng had left behind, but it still lacked the final steps. Gu Mingyang only needed to use his essence blood to refine it, and it could become his Lifebound Treasure.
Although this Great Five Elements Sword Formation was far inferior to the one in Li Feiyu's hands, its potential was boundless, depending on how far Gu Mingyang could improve it in the future.
Even now, it possessed the power to allow him to fight above his cultivation level.
Afterward, various Sects presented congratulatory gifts, and Five Elements Sect received a full harvest.
However, there was nothing that Li Feiyu found appealing, so everything was placed into Five Elements Sect's treasury for future use.
Of course, Li Feiyu also provided good food and drink, with spiritual fruits and spiritual tea, all being excellent items.
Wei Lichen found Li Feiyu, and in a cautious tone, said, "Senior Li, this time, besides coming to congratulate your Five Elements Sect, I also brought a message from my grand-uncle."
"This is the message Jade Slip, Senior can take a look."
Li Feiyu pointed a finger, and the Jade Slip landed before him. Li Feiyu probed with his Divine Sense, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
"I didn't expect the situation on the Nine Nations Union side to be so grim already?"
Wei Lichen said, "It was relatively stable before, and the battles with the Mulan people had both wins and losses, but not long ago, a group of black-robed figures appeared on the battlefield, seemingly out of nowhere. Their methods were ruthless and bizarre, constantly killing our Heavenly South Cultivators and seizing their Primordial Spirits and Divine Souls."
"Seizing Primordial Spirits and Divine Souls? It seems they are Cultivators practicing Ghost Dao Cultivation Technique."
"Their Mulan people have shown a tendency to launch a large-scale attack recently, and our Nine Nations Union is no longer enough to resist. Even one or two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators have fallen on the battlefield."
"My grand-uncle has already invited the other two Great Cultivators and has also notified other Sects. After your Sect's grand ceremony, we will gather in Yuantian City to discuss the great war."
Li Feiyu smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Wei is giving me so much Face, so I can't refuse him."
"Yuantian City, I will go."
Wei Lichen was overjoyed and quickly bowed, "Many thanks, Senior Li."
On the second day, most of the Sect Cultivators returned to their respective Sects, some went to Yuantian City, and some Loose Cultivators stayed in Immortal Ascension City.
A few days later, Li Feiyu helped Gu Mingyang refine the Five Elements Sword Formation, and then brought Zhou Yuan, Xing Yao'er, Zi Ling, and Yuan Yao to Yuantian City.
Sister Yan Li and Mei Ning both stayed behind to Cultivate in peace.
Yun Xingzhou had already begun to Cultivate. He was cultivating Han Li's "Azure Essence Sword Art".
When Li Feiyu requested it, Han Li naturally gave it. Not only that, he also left behind some Cultivation experience.
Under Zhou Yuan's tutelage, he grew quite outstanding, with a tenacious character and full of perseverance. With Medicinal Pill assistance, he was now at Qi Condensation Great Perfection, with a very solid Foundation. Recently, he had been traveling throughout Yue Country, undergoing Mortal World tempering.
When he returned to the Sect, it should be the time for his Foundation Establishment.
Huang Yueying's talent was much inferior, only at Qi Condensation sixth layer even now.
In the future, Foundation Establishment would be her limit.
She was getting close with some Genius Cultivators in the Sect, likely looking for a good Dual Cultivation Dao Companion.
Jin Yuan was immersed in Formation and Artifact Refining, uninterested in the struggles of their human forces.
The last time he helped was also out of respect for Li Feiyu's Face.
With Li Feiyu's power stable, he could also stay more peacefully.
Li Feiyu did not force him; Jin Yuan and he were, after all, only partners, not superior and subordinate.
Their group traveled to Yuantian City on Crimson Crow, while Han Li followed Cheng Tiankun, Long Han, Feng Bing, and other Cultivators from Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Upon reaching Nine Nations Union, Han Li accompanied Nangong Wan to Masked Moon Sect to handle the subsequent related matters.
Han Li was able to kill their Grand Elder, and since the Grand Elder was the strongest person, facing his might, the other two Elders of Masked Moon Sect were helpless and could only allow Nangong Wan to leave.
Losing two Nascent Souls at once, their Masked Moon Sect was probably going to decline for a while.
But fortunately, the six Sects were united, and not every Sect in the Nine Nations Union dared to bully them.
When Li Feiyu arrived at Yuantian City, Wei Wuya personally came to greet him.
"Brother Li, you've arrived."
"Fellow Daoist Wei, long time no see, you've been well!"
Li Feiyu and Wei Wuya exchanged a smile. He looked at the others and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei has good fortune; everyone around him is of captivating beauty, making one truly envious."
"Not at all, not at all."
"Oh right, Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan didn't come?"
"He's busy researching some gadgets, and he's not interested in the power struggles between us."
"Indeed, but it's a pity to lose the combat power of a Level Ten Demon Cultivator."
Li Feiyu said, "What, am I alone not enough to compensate for Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan?"
"How could that be? I still greatly admire Brother Li's Divine Ability. Let's go. Most of the Nascent Soul Cultivators from Heavenly South have arrived, only you are missing."
Li Feiyu chuckled and turned to the others, saying, "You all can explore the city first. Zhou Yuan, come with me."
The Crimson Crow on his shoulder landed on Xing Yao'er's shoulder.
After they left, Yuan Yao smiled brightly and said, "It seems the Mulan people are coming fiercely this time, but when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
Zi Ling said, "Sister Yuan Yao is right. If even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators can't handle it, then we are even more powerless."
"Sister Xing Yao'er, where should we go first?"
Xing Yao'er said, "Let's walk around and see. It will be easy for Li Feiyu to find us after he comes out."
Li Feiyu and the others headed towards a grand palace on a high platform in the center of Yuantian City, which was extremely eye-catching.
This council hall had multiple Restrictions and usually existed only as a symbol. Only when the survival of the Nine Nations Union was at stake would various Nascent Souls gather to discuss.
If the Nine Nations Union could solve it themselves, they wouldn't bother others.
But there was no choice. If the entire Mulan people attacked, the Nine Nations Union would be completely unable to resist.
If other forces didn't help, they would resort to a desperate measure, ceding the Nine Nations Union's territory and letting the Mulan people invade the heartland of Heavenly South.
Once that happened, even if they could be driven out, Heavenly South would suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, after the Nine Nations Union issued an urgent plea for help, various other major forces sent people over.
Li Feiyu walked into the great hall. There weren't many Nascent Soul Cultivators inside, only about a dozen.
He understood with a thought.
Usually, sending a representative was enough, and it probably wouldn't be settled completely in just one or two meetings.
Seeing Li Feiyu enter, everyone inside stood up and bowed, showing their respect for Li Feiyu, the number one Cultivator in Heavenly South.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoists."
Master Zhiyang and Fellow Daoist Hehuan did not come, both sending their Sect's second-in-command.
Li Feiyu sat in one of the three front seats, Zhou Yuan also found a random one, and Wei Wuya also sat down.
"This discussion will be personally presided over by me."
"Everyone is aware of the Nine Nations Union's predicament."
A Nascent Soul Cultivator said, "The Nine Nations Union has continuously lost Nascent Soul Cultivators, which is indeed shocking, but we are not too clear about the specific details. Could you elaborate?"
