"Oh, that news certainly travels fast," Han Li replied with a chuckle, showing no surprise. "But they'll likely be disappointed. I've already exchanged that True Soul Elixir with several other Grand Ascension cultivators in the Spirit Realm. Even if there were any left, I would have consumed them long ago. It's absolutely impossible for me to be carrying them now."

Tian Fei'er glanced at Han Li with a half-smile. "Exchanged with others, already consumed! These excuses might fool common folk, but they'll likely have little effect on the true powerhouses who command respect across realms."

Han Li smiled faintly, unconcerned. "Whether they believe it or not is up to them. If anyone is truly foolish enough to cause trouble, I wouldn't mind showing them a thing or two."

Tian Fei'er chuckled. "Hehe, it seems Fellow Daoist already has a plan for this; I was being overly concerned. However, our clan's Elder Jin heard about the True Soul Elixir and is interested in meeting with Brother Han privately first." Her delicate brows furrowed slightly at first, then she smiled again as she spoke.

"Elder Jin? The one known as the foremost figure of the True Dragon Clan, the Great Elder Golden Dragon!" Han Li's expression finally shifted slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry!" Tian Fei'er said with a serious expression. "The Dao Fruit Assembly is intended as an excellent opportunity for powerful cultivators to gather on Dragon Island and exchange treasures. Although Elder Jin is interested in the True Soul Elixir, he would never use the Assembly to force others into transactions. If you truly don't wish to part with the True Soul Elixir, there's no need to meet him."

Han Li pondered for a moment, then shook his head in response. "Your noble clan is indeed very generous. Unfortunately, this True Soul Elixir is crucial for my tribulation. Even if I had any left, I wouldn't intend to exchange it."

"Brother Han, don't be so quick to reply," Tian Fei'er said unhurriedly, as if she had anticipated Han Li's response. "Elder Jin also asked me to convey another message to you: the item he offers in exchange for the True Soul Elixir, in terms of its value for overcoming the Ascension Tribulation, is absolutely superior to the True Soul Elixir, not inferior. You know that our clan is different from ordinary beings; we aren't particularly interested in ascending to the Immortal Realm. Therefore, some items that are incredibly rare and sought after by other powerful cultivators are completely useless to us."

"What? Its value for overcoming tribulations is even greater than the True Soul Elixir?" Han Li's expression changed several times before he finally made up his mind and replied, "If that's truly the case, then I might consider it. How about this: once we arrive at Dragon Island, I'll decide whether to pay a private visit to Elder Jin."

"If Brother Han agrees to this, I believe Elder Jin will certainly not disappoint you," Tian Fei'er said, clapping her hands with a smile. "Moreover, if this True Soul Elixir truly comes into Dragon Island's possession, even a slight hint of it will ensure that no other powerful cultivators trouble Fellow Daoist Han again. This would be extremely advantageous for you."

"Hehe, I hope so," Han Li chuckled, giving a rather vague reply.

"Alright, it's getting late," Tian Fei'er said, tactfully changing the subject without mentioning the True Soul Elixir again. "Let's depart. Although Dragon Island is close to the Mo Ke Realm, it will still take us a considerable amount of time to reach it."

Han Li naturally had no objections and immediately nodded in agreement.

With a swift movement of her arm, Tian Fei'er beckoned towards the sky.

From a seemingly ordinary white cloud in the sky, several neighs instantly resounded, and a white flying carriage, pulled by several red monstrous beasts, soared forth.

The flying carriage was over ten *zhang* long, not only pure white like jade and adorned with various exquisite patterns, but the four monstrous beasts pulling it had four hooves and dragon horns. Their bodies were covered in crimson scales, shimmering as if enveloped in flames, giving them a fierce, half-horse, half-dragon appearance.

"These are our Dragon Island's unique Ferocious Steeds," Tian Fei'er explained, noticing Han Li's expression. "While they lack combat ability, their immense strength and astonishing stamina are unparalleled. They can gallop through the void for months without eating or drinking and show no signs of exhaustion."

"Indeed, quite interesting," Han Li remarked, clicking his tongue in wonder after carefully examining the four Ferocious Steeds. "I've seen some so-called 'Dragon Horses' before, but their majesty and swiftness simply can't compare to these Ferocious Steeds. Does your esteemed island sell these spiritual beasts to outsiders?"

"Hehe, of course, we sell these low-level spiritual beasts to outsiders from Dragon Island," Tian Fei'er casually explained. "However, due to certain unique conditions, only offspring born here can possess such magnificence. Outside Dragon Island, their bloodline gradually weakens, eventually becoming indistinguishable from other Dragon Horses."

"In that case, that's a bit of a pity," Han Li said, displaying a hint of regret.

If these Ferocious Steeds could reproduce on their own, bringing a few pairs back to the human race would undoubtedly prove extremely useful.

"Hehe, Brother Han, there's no need to be so eager," Tian Fei'er said with a soft chuckle. "Our Dragon Island has many treasures, not just these Dragon Horses. I'm certain our other unique items will greatly broaden your horizons." With that, she drifted towards the flying carriage in the sky.

"Oh, if that's truly the case, then even if I don't obtain the Vast Spirit Dao Fruit on this trip, it won't be a wasted journey," Han Li replied, simultaneously transforming into a dazzling rainbow and soaring into the sky.

Moments later, the four Dragon Horses let out a long neigh and then galloped forward, pulling the flying carriage as if treading on air.

Han Li, standing at the rear, found the entire flying carriage incredibly stable, as if he were on solid ground. A trace of surprise welled up in his heart, and he lowered his head to re-examine the seemingly ordinary vehicle beneath him.

"Brother Han, no need to examine it so closely!" Tian Fei'er said with a smile. "This Wind Spirit Carriage is also crafted from a unique spiritual copper found only on Dragon Island. Not only is it naturally a hundred times lighter than other spiritual metals, but it can also absorb and channel wind spiritual energy, making it quite a rare material elsewhere."

"I truly believe Fairy Tian's words now," Han Li said with a smile. "I sincerely hope we can reach Dragon Island sooner."

"Since Brother Han has this request, I shall assist with some spells," Tian Fei'er said, her eyes shifting slightly before pressing her lips together.

She then formed a hand seal, and several magical incantations shot out in quick succession, all flashing and disappearing into the bodies of the four Ferocious Steeds.

The next moment, the four half-dragon, half-horse spiritual beasts immediately let out low growls. After a burst of red light enveloped their bodies, they each surged significantly in size. Simultaneously, several thick tusks grew from their mouths, and their eyes instantly turned a crimson-gold color.

After their four legs blurred, the beasts' speed more than doubled, pulling the flying carriage behind them as a long red streak, soaring through the air.

Several months later, accompanied by Tian Fei'er, Han Li emerged from a massive hall suspended in the endless starry sky, stepping directly onto a plaza outside its main gate.

He looked up.

Not far above, a colossal green moon, large enough to obscure half the starry sky, hung prominently.

No… it was more accurately a massive, nearly hemispherical island. Faint, dark, dot-like structures were dimly visible on its surface, and the entire island was enveloped in a pale green light curtain.

"This is Dragon Island, much as I imagined," Han Li murmured to himself, gazing at the green moon in the sky.

"Our Dragon Island wasn't originally like this," Tian Fei'er casually explained, then her expression suddenly turned serious. "It gradually took its current form after many of our ancestors successively transformed it with immense effort. Now that Brother Han has verified your invitation here, you may freely enter and exit the island during the Dao Fruit Assembly. However, you must still refrain from entering the restricted areas I mentioned earlier. As I have some deacon duties to attend to, I won't be able to accompany you further."

"Fairy, you've gone to much trouble on this journey. Since we've arrived, Fellow Daoist, please feel free to attend to your own matters," Han Li replied with a nod.

"Before I leave, does Brother Han have anything else to say to me?" Tian Fei'er didn't depart immediately after Han Li's reply; instead, she asked again with a half-smile.

"Oh, what is it? Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly," Han Li said, his heart stirring but his expression unperturbed.

"Hmph, it seems if I don't bring it up, Brother Han wouldn't think to ask," Tian Fei'er said, rolling her eyes at Han Li. "Never mind, here you go! This is what I promised you that day. As for whether you can truly obtain the Vast Spirit Dao Fruit with this, that depends entirely on your own capabilities." With a flick of her sleeve, a white jade slip flew out.

"Hehe, Fairy, you're truly thoughtful! Han thanks you very much," Han Li said with a smile, his eyes brightening. Without hesitation, he reached out with one hand and grasped the jade slip.

"I have repaid the favor from that year, so I shall truly take my leave now." Tian Fei'er said nothing further, gave a slight bow, and turned to walk back into the main hall.

Han Li smiled faintly. Once Tian Fei'er's figure had disappeared back into the hall entrance, he put away the jade slip and walked towards a pale white teleportation formation situated in the corner of the plaza.

There were no guards visible near the formation, but as Han Li stepped inside, a stone monument about a *zhang* tall emerged from the ground nearby. At its top was a distinct elliptical groove.

Han Li's gaze swept over the monument. He flicked a finger from his sleeve, and a point of silver light shot out, instantly vanishing as it settled firmly into the groove.

It was precisely the silver scale that Fan Paozi had given him years ago.

The moment the item was embedded in the monument, it immediately emitted an inexplicable fluctuation, directly linking with the teleportation formation.

The previously motionless teleportation formation immediately trembled slightly, began to emit a low hum, and simultaneously, wisps of white light swirled forth from it.

Han Li's expression shifted slightly. With another slight wave of his hand towards the monument, the silver scale immediately flew back into his sleeve.

It was then that countless runes suddenly emerged from the teleportation formation, and Han Li, who was at its center, blurred and vanished within it.
