Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 44 Reunion: Han Li Takes on His Second Disciple

Han Li pointed his finger, and a flying sword slashed forward. Under the powerful magic, spiritual energy surged and dispersed in all directions. Han Li originally thought that even if he couldn't break through the formation, he would at least have a significant impact on it. To his surprise, the dissipated energy only traveled a few dozen meters before being suppressed by the power of the formation!

"You take my hit too!"

Lei Ming stretched out his hand, and the five elements of spiritual energy gathered, swirling in his palm before finally transforming into a five-colored divine sword about a foot long. The five-colored divine sword flew from his hand and fell towards Han Li, instantly growing to more than twenty feet long.

Han Li was locked onto by the Five-Colored Divine Sword and felt a great threat. Seventy-two flying swords flew out, circled around him, and then converged and shot towards the Five-Colored Divine Arrow.

The crackling and popping sounds rose and fell, and the violent gale swirled within the formation, almost engulfing Han Li.

At the same time, the Five Elements Formation also began to shake, the Five Elements Spirit Beasts roared in unison, and the five-colored waves of energy covered Cloud Hidden Mountain.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

Lei Ming appeared before Han Li, and the two burst into laughter simultaneously. Lei Ming had already recognized Han Li when he entered the formation. And Han Li had already guessed that Lei Ming was there before he came to Yunyin Mountain.

"Brother Han, it's been 200 years. How have you been?" Lei Ming said with a smile.

Han Li was also very happy: "It's so great to see Brother Lei again."

The two hadn't seen each other for 200 years, and their reunion was filled with indescribable joy. Looking back, Han Li had been forced to cooperate with Lei Ming, and harbored some wariness towards him. But that wariness had now vanished. Along Han Li's journey, his family and companions had all departed; to encounter an old friend was extremely rare.

Lei Ming didn't share Han Li's sentiments. Instead, he welcomed Han Li up the mountain, and the two sat down to brew tea and chat.

"I never expected that Brother Han would reach the Nascent Soul stage so quickly and become such a powerful figure," Lei Ming said with a smile.

Han Li took a sip of tea: "I'm more surprised by Brother Lei's cultivation level. With Brother Lei's cultivation speed, he should have already formed his Nascent Soul.

"My five-attribute spiritual roots are naturally inferior to your four-attribute spiritual roots," Lei Ming said.

The two couldn't help but laugh again. Judging from their spiritual roots alone, they were both cultivators with no future, but their cultivation levels were advancing by leaps and bounds.

Afterwards, the two talked about their experiences over the years. Lei Ming's experience was relatively simple, but still thrilling. As for Han Li, his experience was much more exciting, from Tiannan to the Chaotic Star Sea, and then back to Tiannan.

"Brother Lei, I heard that you plan to establish your own sect. What's going on?" Han Li asked curiously. In his memory, Lei Ming had always been a loner and had never been interested in sect matters.

Lei Ming told Han Li about his plan for the Pangu Sect, and Han Li repeatedly exclaimed in admiration at its grand scale. Lei Ming's idea sounded somewhat absurd at first glance, but upon closer examination, it felt quite terrifying. By doing so, he was essentially popularizing the methods of cultivation. While the cohesion of his disciples might not be as strong as that of a sect, their numbers would be staggering. With a larger number of disciples, the possibility of producing powerful individuals would also increase.

"Brother Lei, do you perhaps intend to contend for supremacy in Tiannan?" Han Li asked.

"I just want to collect cultivation resources more efficiently," Lei Ming said. "Brother Han has now formed his Nascent Soul, so he can take charge of the Pangu Sect."

"According to what you said, there is no problem." Han Li thought for a moment. "Although I have joined the Luoyun Sect, I am only an honorary elder. Moreover, the Pangu Sect is not strictly speaking a sect, so it should not have any impact."

"Not only that, Brother Han has many skills, so you can't refuse to teach this course," Lei Ming said.

"This..." Han Li hesitated.

"As the saying goes, 'Reviewing the old helps one understand the new,' Brother Han has been cultivating alone and lecturing his disciples all these years. This may not be a bad thing for you," Lei Ming said.

"That's true, then I'll give it a try," Han Li said.

After staying at the Pangu Sect for three days, Han Li returned to the Luoyun Sect and told Cheng Guangkun and the others about Lei Ming's situation. With Han Li mediating, the feud between the Pangu Sect and the Luoyun Sect was resolved, and the establishment of the Pangu Sect was no longer an obstacle.

Half a month later, news of the Pangu Sect spread throughout the Xi Kingdom, and two months later, almost everyone in the areas occupied by the Tiandao Sect knew about the Pangu Sect.

"It doesn't restrict inheritance, it doesn't distinguish between righteous and demonic paths. Anyone who passes the test can become a formal disciple of the Pangu Sect. Even if you can't become a formal disciple, you can exchange contribution points to attend classes. Moreover, there are even Nascent Soul Ancestors giving classes." Cheng Guangkun couldn't help but sigh repeatedly after hearing about the Pangu Sect.

"Qi Sheng, how many cultivators went to the Pangu Sect?" Cheng Guangkun asked.

Qi Sheng said, "Reporting to Senior Uncle, in the past two months, cultivators from all over Tiannan have been flocking here, especially independent cultivators. Preliminary estimates suggest there are already over 10 cultivators at the foot of Yunyin Mountain, with over 1 Foundation Establishment cultivators. In a few days, the Pangu Sect will be recruiting disciples for the second time, and the number of disciples from the Pangu Sect might even surpass that of my Luoyun Sect!"

"It's alright, the Pangu Sect is different from us." Cheng Guangkun saw it very clearly.

"In addition, Master Uncle, people from the Ancient Sword Sect and the Hundred Crafts Academy came to inquire. They thought that the Pangu Sect was set up by my Luoyun Sect. I have already explained this to them," Qi Sheng added.

Cheng Guangkun nodded: "We'll let the Pangu Sect's matter go for Brother Han's sake, but we can't interfere with what the Ancient Sword Sect and the Hundred Crafts Academy want to do."

"Disciple understands!"

Before they knew it, it was time for the Pangu Sect to recruit disciples for the second time. Lei Ming and Han Li stood on the mountaintop, looking down at the tens of thousands of cultivators below.

"Congratulations, Brother Lei! From today onwards, your Pangu Sect will become the number one sect in the Xi Kingdom!" Han Li teased.

If we only consider the number of people, what Han Li said isn't impossible. Of the three major sects in Xi Kingdom, Luo Yun Sect has the most disciples, but even that only amounts to twenty or thirty thousand. If Lei Ming were to take these people in, Pangu Sect's number of disciples would immediately surpass that of Luo Yun Sect.

"These are just the beginning." Lei Ming didn't care about this. "Perhaps in the future, there will be millions of disciples in the Pangu Sect, Core Formation cultivators will be everywhere, Nascent Soul cultivators will be as common as dogs, and Deity Transformation cultivators will be everywhere. That's what I look forward to."

Han Li was taken aback and didn't know what to say.

A long, resonant bell rang out, bringing peace to everyone's hearts. Then, the Cloud Hidden Mountain formation opened, and a white jade staircase descended from the mountain, reaching all the way to the foot of the mountain.

"Those who ascend this ladder to the mountainside and reach the mountainside may enter the Pangu Sect," a thunderous voice echoed.

"What a charade! What if I were to fly directly up the mountain?" A loud voice rang out, and a beam of light flew straight up the mountain.

"They're from the Ancient Sword Sect." Lei Ming recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

The Ancient Sword Sect is the most powerful sect in the Xi Kingdom. Although it has few disciples, they are all sword cultivators with astonishing strength. The one who came to cause trouble was a Core Formation stage sword cultivator. Although he was only in the mid-Core Formation stage, his speed and power were comparable to those in the late-Core Formation stage.

"In my Pangu Sect, one must abide by the rules of my Pangu Sect. If you wish to enter the mountain, you can only pass through here," Lei Ming's voice rang out.

"I have no idea what rules the Pangu Sect has to do with this!" The sword cultivator not only didn't stop, but instead sped up.

"Offending the Pangu Sect deserves punishment!" Thunderous voice rang out again, and a large, golden net descended.

The sword cultivator laughed loudly: "You're not qualified to punish me!"

The sword cultivator and his magical flying sword merged into one, the sword's sharp edge detectable from miles away. A beam of light, several dozen feet long, pierced the net, but the net remained unmoved, falling as usual to cover both the sword cultivator and the flying sword.

Then a giant hand descended from the clouds, scooped up the large net, and disappeared behind the mountaintop.

"Disrupting the Pangu Sect's disciple recruitment will result in three years of suppression!" Lei Ming's voice rang out, and this time everyone involuntarily lowered their heads.

The matter was not over yet. The sword cultivator was suppressed by the thunder, and an even more powerful aura came from afar. A blue light tore through the sky, and an eight or nine-year-old boy appeared above Cloud Hidden Mountain. The boy's face was tense, and he held a flying sword in his hand. His small body was like a mountain.

"How dare you! Not only have you established a sect in Xi Kingdom without authorization, but you also dare to suppress my Ancient Sword Sect disciples!" the boy said coldly, his sword energy soaring into the sky and dispelling the clouds.

"It's the patriarch of the Ancient Sword Sect," Han Li said in a low voice. He had seen this person before in the Ancient Sword Sect.

"I'm just about to experience the skills of a Nascent Soul cultivator." Lei Ming laughed loudly and flew out of the Five Elements Formation.
