After Han Li nodded noncommittally, Che Qigong suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a ball of white light shot out, darting towards the opposite side with a flash. Han Li, with an expressionless face, beckoned with one hand and drew the white light into his palm. It was a pristine, crystal-clear jade slip.

"I will first go and comprehend the cultivation technique. If there's a result, I will return as soon as possible to meet with both of you. I'll take my leave now!" Han Li did not immediately inspect the jade slip with his divine sense, but instead cupped his hands and bid farewell. Then, a flash of green light enveloped his body, and his form dissolved into specks of spiritual light, vanishing into thin air.

"Brother Che, do you think this fellow will keep his word?" As soon as Han Li left the space, the black-armored man mused aloud and asked the old man.

"Few in this world know of the secret art to refine the Primal Chaos Qi, other than us and Bloodlight. If he wishes to refine this item for his own use, he naturally cannot break the agreement. Even if he gives up some Primal Chaos Qi now, it's a hundred times better than having a spiritual item that cannot be used immediately. Moreover, it is now the time for our Saint Clan's sacred ritual. With a great enemy before us, it's even less likely that he would abandon such a method to rapidly increase his cultivation," Che Qigong said with extraordinary confidence.

"I hope it's as Brother Che says. Hehe, as long as we have this Primal Chaos Qi, our day of breaking free will not be far off. At that time, we'll join forces to capture this fellow and forcibly extract the other half of the Primal Chaos Qi he refined into his body. In such a short time, it's naturally impossible for him to truly refine the Primal Chaos Qi," the black-armored man said, his eyes gleaming.

"Naturally. A mere human cultivator wants to possess such a spiritual item. No matter how clever that fellow is, he wouldn't guess that you and I have already broken all the restrictions of the Demon Suppressing Lock. Now, we only lack this Primal Chaos Qi. It won't take long; just half a year to initially refine the Primal Chaos Qi will be enough to leave the Demon Suppressing Lock. Hmph, then that scoundrel Bloodlight..." Che Qigong raised his head, looking at the vast, white sky where countless snowflakes danced, took a deep breath, and a hint of madness appeared on his face.

"Haha, I truly hope that day comes soon!" Feng Xie also muttered gloomily.

Meanwhile, outside the Demon Suppressing Lock, Han Li had already recalled his divine sense avatar, and his Nascent Soul returned to his physical body in a flash. With a flicker of his eyelids, Han Li slowly opened his eyes. He flipped his hand again, and a hazy white jade slip emerged from his palm. Without a word, he moved a finger, and the jade slip bounced up as a white light, settling firmly on his forehead.

Immediately, a powerful divine sense surged into the jade slip, instantly revealing all its contents. Inside, there was indeed an incomplete cultivation technique, consisting of over a thousand characters. Each character was exceptionally profound, seemingly containing a hidden mystery. As Han Li continued to comprehend the technique, the expression on his face began to subtly change. This relatively short technique caused him to enter a meditative state for two full days and two nights.

On the morning of the third day, Han Li finally let out a soft breath and withdrew his divine sense. The jade slip that had been affixed to his forehead flashed, then shattered inch by inch, turning into dust that scattered into thin air. The cultivation technique recorded in the jade slip had, of course, already been memorized by him; not a single character was forgotten.

"The technique seems genuine! I suppose even if those two old devils wanted to play tricks, they wouldn't do it at the very beginning," Han Li mumbled a couple of sentences, then fell into deep thought, an expression of contemplation on his face.

"No, once I have the refining method, I must throw the Demon Suppressing Lock back into the Demon Realm. It seems I can't wait to enter the Demon Realm with that old monster from the Long family. I'll just find a point where the two realms have merged and toss it in." After a while, Han Li's expression flickered uncertainly. For the sake of caution, his original plan seemed to have changed slightly.

With a new decision in mind, he flicked his sleeve, and the blue jade bottle containing the Primal Chaos Qi flew out. At the same time, he slapped the top of his head with one hand again...

While Han Li was hidden in the desolate region near the human territory, gradually extracting the refining technique from Che Qigong and the other person, Tianyuan City of the human race was completely surrounded by tens of millions of demon armies. Using several sections of Tianyuan City's walls as breakthroughs, dense demonic fortresses, hundreds of zhang tall, rose from the ground as if out of nowhere.

Inside these fortresses, demonic clouds churned, filled with numerous elite demons in demonic armor. Dense, colossal flying towers also appeared in the sky above the demon army, surrounded by countless battle chariots and war vessels hundreds of times smaller. Between the various fortresses, stone mountains and earth pits of varying sizes stretched endlessly, with countless demonic beasts of all ranks appearing and disappearing, their figures overlapping.

On a massive platform atop one of these demonic fortresses, over a hundred high-ranking demons looked towards Tianyuan City, each with a different expression. The blood-robed youth leading them had a gloomy face and icy eyes, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a hint of nonchalance. The other high-ranking demons, however, were quietly discussing something in groups of two or three nearby.

But after just a moment, the blood-robed youth retracted his gaze and calmly spoke: "The time is almost right. Begin the siege. I hope that in a few years, I will be able to officially step into this Tianyuan City!"

"We will definitely do our utmost to assist Lord Saint Ancestor!" Hearing this, the other demons' expressions hardened, and they spoke in unison.

Furthermore, a red-armored guard who had been standing ready beside the blood-robed youth immediately threw an object into the air. Instantly, a ball of silver light soared into the sky. After reaching a height of over ten thousand zhang, it exploded with a thunderous roar. A silver rune, a hundred zhang in diameter, instantly appeared in the void, emitting dazzling silver light. As if responding to this colossal silver rune, slightly smaller silver runes, also emitting piercing shrieks, surged up one after another from various locations outside Tianyuan City.

The next moment, both the demonic flying chariots and colossal towers in the sky, and the demonic beast army on the ground, began to stir restlessly. First, gigantic light arrays in each fortress lit up, followed by countless mountain-sized black orbs of light appearing above the fortresses, which then rolled towards Tianyuan City with thunderous roars. Wherever these colossal orbs of light passed, the void twisted and warped, creating an astonishing spectacle! At the same time, the demonic towers and flying chariots within the demonic energy also launched their attacks. Thick light beams, like a rain of light tearing through the sky, shot out from the demonic clouds in an overwhelming torrent.

Even before these attacks reached the human protective barriers, a roar erupted within Tianyuan City, and rows of light arrays appeared out of nowhere above the city walls. Under the flickering five-colored light, countless fireballs, wind blades, ice cones, and other spell attacks surged out like a tide, transforming into waves of light that collided head-on with the demonic attacks. In an instant, earth-shattering roars erupted before Tianyuan City's defensive light barrier. The intense spiritual light produced by the explosions almost lit up most of the previously dark sky.

Under the illumination, one could vaguely see in the direction of the demons, teams of demonic beasts, transformed into hundreds of giant pythons, charging madly towards Tianyuan City. Some of these demonic beasts scurried and ran on the ground, others glided and swooped at low altitudes, while still others, at higher elevations, frantically flapped their wings. A group of flying chariots and colossal ships, meanwhile, hummed as they slowly advanced forward. Near these giant demonic flying objects, at some unknown point, groups of demonic armored warriors appeared. Some stood on demonic clouds, others rode demonic beasts, each with a grim expression.

Thus, the demonic siege on Tianyuan City officially began.

In a dark, secluded forest, a beautiful woman with snow-white skin, clad in black demonic armor, sat cross-legged beneath a giant tree, meditating with her eyes closed. Beside her, a slender woman in a blue palace dress waited quietly, an anxious expression on her face. It was indeed Yuan Sha!

After an unknown period, the black-armored woman let out a soft breath and suddenly opened her eyes.

"Sister Liuji, how is it? Have your injuries healed?" Yuan Sha asked, her face lighting up with joy.

"Healed? If Liuji's Sunset True Flames were so easy to dispel, they wouldn't have earned such a great reputation in the Saint Realm back then. Although I've taken some spiritual pills, they've only barely suppressed the injuries. Unless I immediately go into secluded cultivation for a hundred years, I can't hope for a complete recovery. However, it also shows that Liuji's magic power has not yet recovered, and her injuries are difficult to heal. Otherwise, how could a mere avatar have escaped under the Sunset Arrow?" the black-armored woman said indifferently.

"That is true. Even so, if her true body cannot descend, in a one-on-one fight, we would still be no match for her," Yuan Sha said with a complex expression, finally letting out a light sigh.

"You yourself said it's a one-on-one situation. Baohua is no longer a Saint Ancestor of the Saint Realm. We have our army at hand, so why would we fight her one-on-one? However, after you return, you truly cannot afford to be alone easily; only by staying within the main army will you be safe," Liuji snorted lowly, her expression somewhat cold.

"Thank you for the reminder, Sister. However, considering Baohua's personality, it doesn't seem like she's specifically looking for trouble with us. After all, even if she destroys a few of our avatars, it wouldn't greatly help her situation. The fact that she dares to appear here, knowing that the sacred ritual has begun, most likely means she has another purpose..." Yuan Sha said thoughtfully after careful consideration.

"Another purpose! What purpose could that be? Her greatest goal right now should be to heal her injuries and recover all her magic power, right?" The black-armored woman sneered.

"Recovering magic power... that's it! Baohua herself is a somewhat renowned diviner in our Saint Realm. Could it be that she came here for this very reason? Other matters shouldn't make her take such a risk." The black-armored woman paused, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Perhaps so," Yuan Sha continued. "But let's discuss this in detail later. For now, I'll take sister back to the human territory. Once we reunite with sister's other avatar, we'll naturally be completely safe." Yuan Sha nodded and suggested.
