Three days later, in the main hall of the black giant ark, Han Li, seated in the main position, summoned the four Human Race Integration Stage cultivators: three men and one woman.

Nangong Wan, with a gentle expression, accompanied him by his side.

As soon as the four entered the hall, they immediately bowed to Han Li, paying their respects. "Rise," Han Li said calmly, waving his hand. "I presume you are already aware of my background and my relationship with Wan'er. I also have some understanding of the main purpose of your visit."

The white-haired old man among the four bowed his head slightly and spoke respectfully on behalf of the others. "The four of us believe our aptitude is second to none, but due to the limitations of the Minor Spirit Realm, we have been unable to advance further. If Senior is willing to take us back to the Spirit Realm, we would be eternally grateful for this kindness, never forgetting it."

"Wan'er has been taken care of by you fellow Daoists over the years," Han Li said slowly. "If you wish to return to the Spirit Realm with me, that is certainly not a problem. However, before that, shouldn't you first make proper arrangements for everything in the Minor Spirit Realm? Han does not wish to see the remaining Human Race immediately enslaved by other foreign races the moment we depart."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man and the others felt a chill in their hearts. The beautiful woman in blue robes, after a moment of thought, immediately stepped forward respectfully and said:

"We will respectfully follow all of Senior Han's commands, without question."

The other three also nodded in agreement.

"Since that is the case, I will take matters into my own hands this once," Han Li instructed without ceremony. "After you return, first select over a hundred of the most outstanding juniors. I will take these individuals and you back to the Spirit Realm. At the same time, announce that I will periodically send people back to the Minor Spirit Realm to bring away the next batch of Human Race juniors with the most exceptional aptitudes. These matters will be handled by you."

"Senior, please rest assured," the white-haired old man hastily promised, "we will handle this matter properly and ensure you do not have to expend any further thought."

"Very good," Han Li continued, his expression unchanged. "Before departing for the Spirit Realm, I will also make a trip to other areas of the Minor Spirit Realm to teach the other foreign races a lesson, ensuring they dare not easily infringe upon the Human Race. At the same time, I will leave several precious treasures for the clan, so that even without Integration Stage experts, the clan will be capable of fending off invasions from other foreign races. With these contingencies in place, the Human Race of this realm will not need to worry about being enslaved by foreign races, even if their powerful cultivators are absent."

The Human Race experts before him were naturally both surprised and delighted upon hearing these words. They all bowed in agreement. With such preparations and contingencies, the Human Race of the Minor Spirit Realm could indeed be said to have no further worries.

After these Human Race cultivators then consulted Han Li on a few specific matters concerning their departure from the Minor Spirit Realm, they wisely took their leave.

From beginning to end, Nangong Wan merely sat by his side, smiling silently.

However, once these individuals departed, she gave Han Li a charming smile:

"My husband," she said, "it will likely take them quite some time to select the appropriate juniors. During this time, why don't I accompany you on a trip to the other foreign races? Although I have been in secluded cultivation for many years, my familiarity with the Minor Spirit Realm is something you cannot compare to."

"Since Wan'er has said so, there is naturally no problem," Han Li replied with a light chuckle. "I also originally had this intention."

Two days later, Han Li had Old Ancestor Huashi leave the Ink Spirit Holy Ark with a group of puppets to collect some materials unique to the Minor Spirit Realm. Meanwhile, he himself flew away from the ark with Nangong Wan.

Zhu Guo'er, having been formally accepted as a disciple by Nangong Wan, remained on guard aboard the giant ark.

Half a month later, amidst several volcanoes covered with various black spherical stones, a bizarre creature, human from the waist up and almost transparent from the waist down, was frantically teleporting and fleeing in the low sky.

With a rumble high in the sky, a colossal golden hand, almost obscuring half the sky, materialized out of thin air. With just a downward sweep, waves of Sanskrit chanting emanated from it, and simultaneously, an immense force pressed down.

The semi-transparent bizarre creature below, startled, instantly flickered and shot hundreds of meters away, its escape speed nearly double or more than before.

However, the golden giant hand in the air, though seemingly descending slowly, with a mere spread of its five fingers, indistinctly appeared directly above the semi-transparent creature's head, and struck down like lightning.

A miserable shriek.

Even though the semi-transparent creature was protected by several exotic treasures and possessed a unique physique, it was utterly helpless against the golden giant hand's attack. It was annihilated with a single slap, like a fly.

With a "bang," the golden giant hand vanished in a flash.

Only then did a ripple appear high in the sky, and two figures, a man and a woman, emerged side by side.

It was Han Li and Nangong Wan.

At this moment, Nangong Wan looked at the semi-transparent creature below, a trace of shock evident on her face:

"That was the strongest among the Wind Spirit Race, who had almost stepped half a foot into the Grand Ascension gate. Yet, he couldn't even withstand a single strike from you. It seems my husband is truly no ordinary Grand Ascension cultivator. I completely believe your words from before."

"Oh? So Wan'er didn't fully believe her husband's words before?" Han Li said, hearing this, with a hint of a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Nangong Wan lightly huffed, then asked again with a hint of curiosity, "How was I to know that what my husband meant by 'no ordinary Grand Ascension' would be this formidable? With your cultivation, my husband, you must be among the top existences in the Spirit Realm, right?"

"Hehe, you'll naturally know when we return to the Spirit Realm," Han Li chuckled, saying with a hint of teasing. "Alright, let's go. Our next target should be 'Gang Jin,' the strongest cultivator of the Giant Mantis Race."

Nangong Wan rolled her eyes at Han Li upon hearing this, and naturally said nothing in retort.

Then Han Li flicked his sleeve, and a golden glow immediately swept up. The two then transformed into a ball of golden light and flew away, piercing through the air.

A month later, tens of thousands of greenish-gray, mantis-like giant insects surged like a tide towards a hazy gray light barrier.

Within the gray light barrier, a small black mountain, over a hundred meters tall, floated high in the void. At its peak, Han Li and Nangong Wan stood side by side.

At the rear of the multitude of ferocious giant insects, a bizarre insect, nearly four or five times the size of the others and with a human face on its head, was gravely gazing at Han Li and Nangong Wan inside the light barrier.

Strange black patterns flickered across the bizarre insect's body. Under its influence, the other giant insects were also enveloped in a faint crimson glow.

"To be able to control so many of its kin simultaneously and even stimulate their power to surge rapidly in a short time is indeed a decent divine ability," Han Li's faint voice resounded from within the light barrier. "However, this 'insect sea' tactic is of no use to me."

Following a thunderous roar, a golden lightning orb the size of a house suddenly appeared from within. It then expanded with the wind and burst open with an earth-shattering explosion.

In an instant, countless slender golden threads shot out from the explosion point. After intertwining and solidifying, a massive golden net immediately descended from the sky, almost encompassing the entire insect horde below.

With a crackling sound from within the golden net, all the giant insects instantly turned into ashes amidst the electric light.

However, the human-faced insect let out a low hiss and spat out a mass of dark green liquid. It actually tore open a sizable hole in the lightning net above its head, and with a flicker, shot through it.

With a "swish."

A pair of greenish cicada wings appeared on the insect's back. With a fierce flap, it was about to employ its unique secret technique to escape.

Just then, Han Li's arm inside the distant light barrier seemed to move.

The void near the human-faced insect immediately rippled, and a faint green sword-light shot out. In a flash, it sliced the giant insect in half with incredible speed.

The sword-light then circled once more, transforming into a curtain of green sword-light that enveloped both halves of the giant insect's body.

When the green sword-light dispersed again, the human-faced insect, along with its primordial spirit, had already disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist and ceased to exist.

A month and a half later, in the forbidden area of the Crescent Clan, the most numerous foreign race in the Minor Spirit Realm, the three grand elders of this clan led over a hundred thousand clan members, using the advantage of the terrain to set up a grand formation to meet Han Li and Nangong Wan in battle.

In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Han Li, by himself, slaughtered thousands of Crescent Clan members and completely shattered their grand formation.

As for the physical bodies of the clan's three grand elders, they were shattered into oblivion with just a few remote punches from Han Li upon their first encounter.

Two months later, deep within a swamp filled with poisonous gases and decaying plants, the grand elder of the Night Sleeper Race, known as the most mysterious foreign race in the Minor Spirit Realm, voluntarily expressed his submission to Han Li and swore an oath that his clan would never step out of the swamp during their lifetime.

Within just a few months, Han Li and Nangong Wan truly traversed all the foreign race territories in the Minor Spirit Realm once.

They either slaughtered the powerful cultivators among these foreign races or subdued them, and in a short time, they made all foreign races tremble with fear, as if the end of the world had arrived.

When these tidings reached the Human Race, there was naturally widespread rejoicing.

By now, Han Li, this Grand Ascension Human cultivator from outside, was a household name among the Human Race, with even three-year-olds knowing a thing or two about him. At this time, after a fierce competition, over a hundred of the most talented juniors were finally selected by the Human Race.

Three months later, when the black giant ark descended upon the Green Sea once more, the Ink Spirit Holy Ark carried not only Han Li and Nangong Wan, but also several Integration Stage cultivators and a group of Human Race juniors.

As for the Green Spirit Race in the Green Sea, they had long since hidden far away in fear, not daring to approach within ten thousand miles of the giant ark.

Amidst a rumbling sound, the black giant ark finally came to a halt above a towering tree.

Han Li stood at the front of the giant ark, swept his gaze calmly downwards, then formed a hand seal with one hand and pointed towards the void below.

Immediately, a ripple appeared at the towering tree. After a faint golden glow swept across, the entire scenery changed.

The towering tree suddenly vanished, and in its place, a slowly rotating seven-colored halo appeared.

"Let's go. Who knows when we'll return here next time," Han Li muttered to himself, then lightly tapped his foot.

With a whoosh, the black giant ark immediately shot into the air and soared towards the halo below. It rapidly shrank along the way and finally vanished without a trace in a fleeting flash.
