Chapter 519 Arrangements

Han Li took a deep breath, then his gaze fell on the last piece of silk. With a single hand gesture, he picked it up.

According to the memories of Jin Hai, this piece of silk recorded a treasure map.

When he had traversed his divine soul earlier, he had already roughly examined this item and noticed some clues.

With this thought, he began to chant incantations, and a layer of golden light emerged on his body. Then he activated the True Eye ability, projecting a beam of golden light onto the silk.

The multicolored light on the silk rippled, spreading like ink from the center, revealing a complex terrain pattern.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the map, and furrowed his brow.

This topographic map did not appear complete; it seemed to be a part of a full map, with many broken edges. Based on this alone, it was impossible to determine where it was.

Han Li suddenly shifted his gaze to a corner of the silk, where there was a circular wheel-shaped pattern, seemingly some kind of mark, but he had never seen it before.

After a moment, he turned his hand and put the silk away.

According to Jin Hai's memories, the location indicated by this map was in another immortal domain, and after so many years, it was questionable whether the treasure site still existed. There was no need to dwell on it.

He waved his hand again, emitting a cyan glow to collect the other items, then dispelled the cyan ripples around him.

After doing all this, Han Li did not linger. His form suddenly transformed into a streak of cyan light, speeding off in the direction of Wumeng Island.

A moment later, the void above Wumeng Island flickered, and Han Li's figure appeared.

Wumeng Island was still in a state of seclusion, with the Luo family members all in closed-door cultivation and the island's mortals living peaceful lives. Everywhere was serene, as if the earlier conflicts in the Black Wind Sea had not reached here.

Seeing this, Han Li descended swiftly, landing near a mountain village surrounded by hills on three sides.

It was dusk, and wisps of cooking smoke rose from the village, forming a thin mist in the air. The orange sunset shone down, refracting into a dreamlike, tranquil beauty.

In the mountain village, the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard, as if it were a paradise untouched by any strife.

Taking in the scenery before him and listening to the calls of livestock and the laughter of children playing, Han Li felt an indescribable sensation well up inside him, as if recalling distant memories from his childhood, and he seemed on the verge of sinking into them.

He quickly snapped awake, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

What was wrong with him? He had seen such mundane scenes many times before without feeling anything, so why did they move him so deeply now?

Could there be a problem with his cultivation?

Han Li focused his mind and examined his internal condition, but found nothing amiss.

He frowned slightly, but then his brow smoothed again.

That brief moment of indulgence had done no harm; instead, an indescribable lightness welled up from deep within him.

Han Li let out a soft breath and shook his head.

Perhaps it was because he had recently been immersed in the intrigues of the Netherfrost Immortal Mansion, every step fraught with peril, his nerves stretched taut. Seeing this long-missed worldly life had finally allowed him to relax.

It seemed he really should take the opportunity to walk more in the mortal world; it would likely benefit his mental state for future cultivation.

Of course, now was not the time. He knew that soon the North Cold Immortal Domain would become a place of turmoil, and this chaos would likely last a long time.

Han Li cast another glance at the mountain village, then quickly withdrew his gaze and shot into the sky.

Moments later, he arrived at the Luo residence and landed silently before a great hall.

A layer of azure light shimmered on the main door of the hall, rotating gently like clouds and mist—clearly a rather sophisticated restriction.

Han Li paid it no heed. His form transformed directly into a beam of azure light, and with a flicker, he vanished into the door. The azure cloud-and-mist restriction seemed utterly oblivious.

Inside the hall, Luo Feng sat cross-legged on a cushion, azure light swirling around him.

Han Li's figure appeared silently before Luo Feng. Observing Luo Feng's condition, he nodded slightly.

Luo Feng's aptitude was not bad; it seemed he had not slackened in his cultivation these days, as his cultivation base had improved somewhat.

As he pondered, a red light flashed on Han Li's body, and he reverted to his original appearance.

Luo Feng seemed to sense something. He opened his eyes, saw Han Li standing there, and quickly rose to his feet.

"Lord Liu Shi!" Luo Feng bowed respectfully.

"I have come today to discuss something with you," Han Li said calmly.

"Please, give your orders." Luo Feng was startled and quickly nodded.

"I will be leaving Wumeng Island for a time. Everything on the island should continue as before," Han Li instructed.

"How long will you be gone?" Luo Feng was taken aback and asked hastily.

"Hard to say. It will likely be a very long time." Han Li did not conceal the fact that he did not know when he would return from leaving the Northern Cold Immortal Domain.

"The conflict between Black Wind Island and Green Feather Island is fierce. Though it has not yet reached Wumeng Island, it is only a matter of time. Without you here, we cannot possibly withstand it alone. Moreover, those loose immortals may harbor other thoughts. If you feel the power of faith is insufficient, I can have the mortals in various places worship more devoutly..." Luo Feng's face turned deathly pale as he spoke hurriedly.

"Do not worry. The Black Wind Sea region has begun to calm down, and the conflict between Black Wind Island and Green Feather Island will not be as intense as before. Although I am leaving, my avatar will remain on the island. With its strength, it will be enough to intimidate those loose immortals and protect Wumeng Island." Han Li raised a hand to stop Luo Feng's words.

"Is that true?" Luo Feng's shock subsided slightly as he murmured, unsure whether he was asking about the conflict or the earth deity avatar.

"Of course. Rest assured. Wumeng Island is also quite important to me, so I will not abandon it. I will handle everything properly." Han Li said.

"That is good. Lord Liushi, please rest assured. Our Luo family will be your loyal servants forever." Luo Feng relaxed a little and immediately pledged his loyalty.

Han Li smiled faintly, turned his hand, and produced a storage device, handing it to Luo Feng. "There are some cultivation resources inside. Use them."

Luo Feng took the storage device and probed it with his divine sense. His body instantly stiffened.

The storage device contained countless spiritual materials, spirit stones, spiritual treasures, and elixirs—hundreds or even thousands of times more than the Luo family's previous accumulated wealth.

With so many resources, Luo Feng had never dared to imagine such a thing. Now, as if falling from the sky, they appeared in his hands, leaving him stunned.

"These resources are under your management, but do not use them recklessly. Use them to vigorously cultivate the clan and the cultivators on the other islands. Only by continuously strengthening your own strength can you truly establish a foothold in the Black Wind Sea. Do you understand?" Han Li said slowly.

His current wealth was immense; these things were but a drop in the bucket.

"Understood! Lord, please rest assured. I will make the best use of them and live up to your expectations." Luo Feng, having heard Han Li's words, recovered and said excitedly.

With these resources, he could absolutely cultivate a group of high-level cultivators in a short time. Several elders at the peak of the Integration Stage in the clan also had a great chance to break through to the Great Vehicle Stage.

If they could add a few more Great Vehicle Stage cultivators, along with the earth deity avatar's presence, Luo Feng would have the confidence to defend Wumeng Island's foundation.

However, Luo Feng also felt somewhat puzzled. Even Black Wind Island might not be able to produce so many materials at once—where did Liu Shi get them?

"Very good. Wumeng Island will be left to you from now on." After saying this, Han Li flickered and vanished from the hall.

"Rest assured, Senior Liu Shi!" Luo Feng said loudly, gazing into the void.

Han Li appeared above Wumeng Island, then flew out toward the island, soon arriving at the secluded cultivation site of the Earthly Immortal Incarnation.

A massive whirlpool on the sea surface rumbled loudly, churning with a great roar of water, its momentum even more formidable than before.

A hint of joy appeared in Han Li's eyes. He moved, diving into the sea, and soon reached the Earthly Immortal Incarnation at the seabed.

The Earthly Immortal Incarnation sat cross-legged, his body entwined with strands of bright blue light, forming a huge blue cocoon. Above his head floated a blue thread, emitting a strong fluctuation of the Water Law.

Sensing Han Li's arrival, the Earthly Immortal Incarnation stopped cultivating and stood up.

"Not bad." Han Li looked at the blue thread above the Earthly Immortal Incarnation's head and nodded.

"In recent years, Wumeng Island and several other islands have developed steadily. The population has grown, and mortals and cultivators worship devoutly. The power of faith is thus源源不断, and the condensation speed of Law power has also increased." The Earthly Immortal Incarnation rumbled.

"That's good. At this rate, it won't be long before your Law power recovers. Then I can rest assured." Han Li said.

He had been quite worried earlier that the Earthly Immortal Incarnation's Water Law had been greatly damaged due to the previous refining of the Heavy Water True Wheel, but now it seemed he had been overthinking.

Han Li waved his hand, and before him appeared a blue flag and three blue flying swords—one large and two small, seemingly a set—along with a light blue storage ring.

"These two immortal artifacts are both water-attributed, one for offense and one for defense, with considerable power. Keep them for self-defense and combat. That storage ring contains some things you can use, as well as some artifacts for storing heavy water. Take them all and guard this place well for me." Han Li pushed the items forward and instructed.

Wumeng Island was his starting point after arriving in the Immortal Realm. In a sense, it could be considered his hometown in the Immortal Realm. Although he had stumbled into becoming its 'Ancestral God,' the people here trusted him from the bottom of their hearts and offered their faith power. This created a special bond in his heart, so he naturally had to do his best to protect them.

The Earthly Immortal Incarnation waved his hand, collected these items, and nodded.

After giving a few more instructions to the Earthly Immortal Incarnation, Han Li shot into the sky.

Standing in midair, looking down at Wumeng Island, he sighed softly.

After this departure, he didn't know when he would return.

Han Li shook his head slightly, turned into a green rainbow, and shot into the distance, disappearing at the horizon in an instant.
