Chapter 1346: What is Self?
"Why do you look so surprised?" Jin Tong asked in a perplexed manner.
"It's nothing. If we're going to go into seclusion, then no immortal region will be safe, so let's go to the Extraheavensphere," Han Li said, then swept a sleeve through the air to release a burst of golden light that enveloped them both before quickly racing his way up to the Extraheavensphere.
Even after arriving in the Extraheavensphere, he continued to fly onward for a long while before finally coming to a rest.
He released his spiritual sense to inspect his surroundings and ensure that it was safe, following which he dug out a cave abode into a giant asteroid.
After doing all of that, he opened the Flower Branch domain before stepping inside with Jin Tong.
They were immediately approached by a concerned Nangong Wan, who asked, "Are you alright? I sensed some very powerful aura fluctuations outside just now."
She then caught sight of Jin Tong, and a warm smile appeared on her face as she said, "You must be Jin Tong! The last time we met, you were still yet to attain a human form, but you've grown up into such a fine beauty!"
She approached Jin Tong and latched onto her hand as she spoke, but Jin Tong was clearly not very comfortable with the warm reception, and she greeted with a curt nod, "Mistress Nangong."
"There's no need to refer to me as mistress. My husband may be your master, but that has nothing to do with me, and given the vast disparity in our cultivation bases, it's only right that you refer to me by name," Nangong Wan said with a smile.
Seeing as she had already begun referring to Han Li as fellow daoist, Jin Tong raised no argument as she extended a curstey and greeted Nangong Wan as Fellow Daoist Nangong instead.
Nangong Wan returned the curtsey with a smile, then turned back to Han Li as she repeated, "What happened outside just now?"
