Chapter 1333: Reunion

"Wan'er!"

Han Li called out softly, bending slightly forward, his eyes full of concern.

Nangong Wan's eyes were still hazy, as if she had not fully recovered.

Seeing this, Han Li raised his hand and formed a spell seal again, sending a beam of light into Nangong's brow.

A surge of coolness rose in Nangong Wan's mind, and her consciousness instantly fully recovered.

She sat up abruptly, looking at Han Li before her, but her face showed no expression.

"Wan'er, what's wrong? It's me." Han Li reached out to take Nangong Wan's hand, but his heart sank. Could Jiao San have deceived him? Had Nangong Wan not regained her memories of this life?

With a soft "slap," Nangong Wan brushed Han Li's hand aside.

"Who are you?" Nangong Wan moved, flying up from the bed and landing aside, her face full of wariness.

"I am Han Li, your husband." Han Li said.

"How can you prove your identity?" Nangong Wan's eyes flickered, then instantly turned cold again.

Hearing this, Han Li instead felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

It seemed Nangong Wan's memories had truly recovered.

"Wan'er, do you remember the first time we met? It was during the Bloody Trial. At that time, you were practicing the Su Nu Reincarnation Art, mingling among us Qi Refinement stage disciples, picking spiritual herbs everywhere in the Bloody Trial secret realm. That method... wasn't exactly honorable." Han Li said with a smile.

Hearing this, Nangong Wan's expression did not change, but a trace of recollection flickered in her eyes, vanishing in an instant.

"Later, we were trapped in a predicament, but fortunately, working together, we killed that Ink Jiao, and thus formed a bond... Then our second meeting was at the frontline of the war against the demonic path. With outsiders present, you pretended not to know me..." Han Li paused, then continued recounting the various experiences they had shared.

Although countless years had passed, these memories had not faded at all, as if they had happened just yesterday.

"...Later, I survived the heavenly tribulation, parted from you, and ascended to the True Immortal Realm. This separation lasted so long that I thought we might never meet again in this life." Han Li narrated up to the point of their parting in the Spirit Realm.

Nangong Wan stood by, listening quietly, her expression shifting but remaining calm.

"Wan'er, these are the memories we shared. Besides the two of us, I believe no one else in the world knows them." Han Li said, looking directly at Nangong Wan, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"I have been in your hands all along. My cultivation is low, and I cannot see what level you have reached, but it must be above mine. Soul-searching is a trivial matter, easily done. Knowing these things does not prove anything." Nangong Wan shook her head and said.

"Wan'er, you are still so cautious. Indeed, if I had soul-searched you, I would know these things. So how do you want me to prove my identity?" Han Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said.

Nangong Wan fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

Han Li looked at Nangong Wan with a smile, then his expression changed slightly as he scrutinized her.

The aura Nangong Wan was emitting was only at the True Immortal stage. In his joy at their reunion, he had not noticed this.

It seemed that after her memories recovered, the cultivation belonging to Gan Ruzhuang, which came from the Six Cycles Reincarnation Disk, had also been lost.

"Wan'er, your previous life was a Da Luo stage cultivator, but now your cultivation has dropped to True Immortal. This is the work of the Six Cycles Reincarnation Disk. I have checked, and it will not affect your future cultivation." Han Li said with a frown.

"Six Cycles Reincarnation Disk... you mean that Netherworld treasure controlled by the Reincarnation Palace Master? That person has a daughter, do you know?" Nangong Wan's beautiful eyes flickered as she asked.

"The Reincarnation Palace code name is Jiao San, real name Gan Jiuzhen, she is your daughter from your previous life. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask." Han Li nodded and said calmly.

"My daughter from my previous life? What exactly is going on... And tell me, why does that Palace Master look... look exactly like you?" Nangong Wan was taken aback, then after a moment, continued to press without courtesy.

Han Li sighed inwardly and explained the relationship between the Reincarnation Palace Master and himself as one life split into two, as well as his attempt to revive Nangong Wan's previous life through the Reincarnation Disk.

Nangong Wan initially listened with furrowed brows, but after a moment's thought, she regained her calm.

Then she asked a few more questions about the Netherworld Realm, and Han Li answered each one accurately.

"Now you should believe me, right?" Han Li looked at Nangong Wan and said.

"Not necessarily. If you are in collusion with them, deceiving me would not be difficult." Nangong Wan still stubbornly shook her head.

Han Li felt helpless, then a thought flashed through his mind.

He formed a spell seal, and lightning flashed around him. The seventy-two Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords all emerged, the lightning on the blades fading to reveal the swords' true forms.

"Wan'er, look, these Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords are my life-bound treasures, which you saw back then. Although I have refined them many times over the years, the natural aura of the Golden Lightning Bamboo remains." Han Li said.

Nangong Wan stared blankly at the seventy-two golden-glowing Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, her lips moving slightly.

When she looked at Han Li again, her eyes finally showed a change.

"Oh, and this treasure, which I have also refined more than once over the years, but traces of the past can still be seen." Han Li said, raising his hand to summon the Yuanhe Five Extremes Mountain.

When Nangong Wan's gaze fell on the Five Extremes Mountain, her delicate body trembled slightly. She looked at Han Li again, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Other treasures, I have discarded over the years, but some cultivation techniques and divine abilities from the Spirit Realm can still be performed, such as the Spring Dawn Sword Formation, the Green Coil Sword Formation, and the Nirvana Sacred Body transformation... I still remember the posture you hate the most..." Han Li's mind opened up, and various ways to prove his identity surged forth.

Before he could finish, a fragrant breeze swept over, and Nangong Wan threw herself into his arms, her arms tightly embracing him as if using all her strength, murmuring softly:

"Enough, I believe you are Han Li!"

Ever since regaining her memories in the Netherworld Realm, Nangong Wan's strength had greatly decreased, and she was completely unfamiliar with the True Immortal Realm. The people around her were all thousands of times stronger than her, making her feel as if she were walking on thin ice.

Today, finally finding Han Li and smelling the familiar scent on him, Nangong Wan felt an immense peace of mind, gripping Han Li's arm tightly.

Han Li also held Nangong Wan's soft, boneless body, his heart full of tenderness and love.

Ever since Nangong Wan appeared in the True Immortal Realm and was awakened to her past life memories by the Reincarnation Palace Master, he had felt both anger and helplessness. Although he was deeply worried, he could only leave silently.

Sometimes, separation is for the sake of future reunion.

Later, when he learned that Nangong had been captured by the Heavenly Court, his heart burned with anxiety.

To gain enough power to save Nangong, he had suppressed all this with great determination and ultimately achieved another major breakthrough in his cultivation.

Only today, when Nangong Wan returned to his side, did the heavy stone in his heart finally fall.

Han Li's brow suddenly twitched. With this drastic change in his state of mind and the surging emotions, the divine sense power in his mind also churned and surged. The Refining Spirit Art operated wildly, causing a turmoil in his mind.

He quickly closed his eyes, guarding his sea of consciousness, trying to stabilize his mind.

Then, he suddenly discovered that at that moment, his Nascent Soul seemed to have undergone a subtle and奇妙 change. Although this change seemed small and even imperceptible without careful attention,

it was precisely because of this change that the previously somewhat stagnant seventh-layer cultivation now felt integrated and natural, as if it had reached a point of smooth progress, and his divine sense power also surged.

His Refining Spirit Art, from the first layer to the second, to the third, all the way to the seventh layer... With each layer of cultivation, as the soul grew stronger, the divine sense power also increased, but this powerful force in the sea of consciousness seemed not to be unified, somewhat fragmented, unable to fully merge, and even somewhat chaotic.

Although when he wanted to use it, he could unify this power through the Refining Spirit Art technique, once he stopped casting, the power would immediately return to its original chaotic state.

But just now, this power seemed to have found a common fulcrum.

It was as if the originally fragmented and scattered soul had suddenly found its归宿, or like the Nascent Soul that had roamed the heavens for years after leaving the body had finally returned to its physical form.

He felt an indescribable sense of ease between his Nascent Soul and himself, as if they had merged again and achieved completeness.

What surprised and delighted Han Li even more was that the seventh layer of the Refining Spirit Art, though not yet at perfection, was not far off.

Nangong Wan sensed the change in Han Li's emotions and gently left his embrace.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just happy to see you recovered." Han Li said softly, holding Nangong Wan's body again.

Nangong Wan unconsciously tightened her arms around Han Li.

Neither spoke, but it was more than a thousand words.

They stood embracing for a long time before letting go, exchanging smiles as if they had returned to the past.

"Husband, I actually doubted you just now and made you prove yourself in various ways..." Nangong Wan showed an apologetic expression.

"It's fine. You have always been cautious; it's only right." Han Li laughed, waved his hand to put away the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords and the Yuanhe Five Extremes Mountain, and pulled Nangong Wan to sit on the bed beside them.

"What have you experienced in the True Immortal Realm all these years? I have heard some things about you from Gan Jiuzhen and the Reincarnation Palace Master, as well as elsewhere. Although scattered, I can see that you have become a force to be reckoned with in the Immortal Realm." Nangong Wan looked at Han Li and asked.

"I haven't done anything great. All these years, I've been chased by various people, forced to flee everywhere, visited some places, and experienced some things." Han Li shook his head and said.

"You have been cautious all your life. Now, between us, do you still need to be so modest? Let me ask you, where do you rank in terms of strength in the current True Immortal Realm?" Nangong Wan blinked and said with a hint of reproach.

"If we talk about the strongest in the current True Immortal Realm, it would be the Time Dao Ancestor Gu Huojin. As for the second, in my opinion, it is not a Dao Ancestor but the Reincarnation Palace Master... As for me, I can barely make it into the top ten." Han Li pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

"Indeed, you are still the Han Li who dominated the Spirit Realm! Tell me quickly, you must tell me all your experiences in the Immortal Realm without hiding anything. Also, I have a gift for you." Nangong Wan's eyes brightened first, then she took out half a green jade pendant and looked at Han Li with a smile.

The jade pendant was crystal clear like water, with a graceful figure appearing on its surface.

Han Li took the jade pendant, slightly startled.

This figure was none other than Zi Ling, and the figure in the jade pendant Zi Ling had given him back then was Nangong Wan.

"Since we are both in the Immortal Realm, some things can be done. You don't need to worry about this. Alright, you can start talking." Nangong Wan said.

"Since you want to hear, I'll tell you... When I ascended to the True Immortal Realm, I ended up in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain..." He smiled wryly and slowly began to recount his various experiences after arriving in the True Immortal Realm.

Some things that were hard to mention, or too thrilling, as well as matters concerning Zi Ling, he simply glossed over with a few words.

As for the Bottle Gourd, the extraordinary treasure that had accompanied him almost throughout his entire cultivation career and was his greatest support for ascension, Han Li now told Nangong Wan without any concealment.

Nangong Wan listened to Han Li's extraordinary experiences, her beautiful eyes flashing, occasionally covering her face and gasping, clenching her fists tightly.

For those who tried to harm Han Li, she frowned as if she were there herself, and when she heard that Han Li finally triumphed, she breathed a great sigh of relief.

This scene was like that of a mortal wife listening to her victorious husband recount his heroic deeds on the battlefield.

In her eyes, there was only pride in her beloved's achievements, worry for his experiences, and joy at their long-awaited reunion.

Although Han Li had almost cut off all worldly desires since embarking on the path of cultivation, for this partner, he had always reserved a place of sincerity in his heart.

Only in front of this partner could he truly find his original self.
