Chapter 1334: Stories of the Past
"... After I learned that you had been captured by Feng Qingshui, I immediately traveled to the Dragon Abyss Immortal Region, where I battled him and Chen Ruyan. Thankfully, the heavens were on my side, and you were returned safely to me," Han Li recounted, marking a conclusion to his story.
"I've imagined to myself countless times what you would experience following your ascension, but the reality is far more extraordinary than anything I could've ever envisioned. The average person would've died countless times in your shoes, only you would be able to emerge in triumph from all of those perilous situations," Nangong Wan said with a hint of admiration in her voice.
"It's only thanks to a ridiculous amount of luck that I was able to make it to this point alive and well," Han Li replied with a faint smile.
"And you also had the help of many powerful and beautiful women, didn't you? I've heard from Gan Jiuzhen that Weeping Soul and Jin Tong have already transformed into a pair of stunning beauties, and that's not even to mention Violet Spirit," Nangong Wan said with an amused smile.
A wry smile appeared on Han Li's face as he said, "Please don't make jokes at my expense. You know Weeping Soul, she's been with me ever since she was a little monkey back in the mortal realm. Speaking of Jin Tong, I never imagined that she would have such an extraordinary origin story. As for Violet Spirit..."
A slightly awkward look had appeared on his face at the mention of Violet Spirit, but before he had a chance to explain, Nangong Wan pinched his lips between her fingers to cut him off.
"I'm not going to get jealous over something like this. All of these things are pre-ordained by fate, just like our meeting," Nangong Wan said in a gentle voice.
Han Li nodded in response, then changed the subject as he said, "That's enough about me. How was life in the Spirit Realm for you before you ascended?"
"My time in the Spirit Realm was far less eventful than your time in the Immortal Realm. Following your ascension, I remained in the Azure Origin Palace to cultivate, and thanks to the resources that you left me and some opportunities that I encountered, I was able to reach the Grand Ascension Stage.
“After that, it took me several thousand more years to reach the pinnacle of the Grand Ascension Stage, at which point I attempted to transcend my heavenly tribulation so that I could be reunited with you in the True Immortal Realm," Nangong Wan recounted.
"How did your heavenly tribulation go?" Han Li asked.
