Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

"Ninety million li!" A slightly smug voice came from within the Immortal Vine.

This number seemed large, but was actually tiny, only a drop in the ocean compared to the Lower Realm.

For mortals, it was indeed not small, but for cultivators, it was nothing much.

The scale of the solar system he lived in during his previous life was far more than this, and compared to the truly vast starry sky, it was even less significant.

Small worlds also varied in size; a scale like this was considered small in Fang Ming's deductions!

"This..." Han Li was suspicious, "Isn't this too different from the current ninety thousand li?"

"A scale like this is only considered a small world?" Han Li was puzzled.

"Cultivators at the same realm have strengths and weaknesses, isn't it normal for small worlds to vary in size?" Fang Ming retorted.

"While cultivators at the same realm certainly have differences in strength, it's not a difference of thousands of times," Han Li said with a wry smile.

"The gap between two adjacent Upper and Lower realms is far less than the gap between worlds," Fang Ming explained, "Worlds themselves are vast in volume, so the difference between them is naturally terrifyingly large."

"I dare to assert that the gap between the Immortal Realm and the Spirit Realm is definitely greater than the gap between the Spirit Realm and the Lower Realm!" Fang Ming said with a very certain tone.

Ultimately, in a world like the Spirit Realm, which is similar to a round sky and square earth concept, cultivators might not have an intuitive sense of how large their own world truly is.

Although immortal cultivators possessed great divine abilities, they only operated on a few continents.

Han Li said thoughtfully, "In that case, the Immortal Realm might be larger than I can imagine!"

"That is certainly the case," Fang Ming said confidently.

The Immortal Realm was vast, far exceeding the Spirit Realm by an unknown amount.

After getting answers to the questions he wanted to know, Han Li did not stay in the Medicine Garden for too long, chatted for a while, and then left.

"From now until Old Devil ascends, the only major event will be True Immortal Ma Liang descending to the Lower Realm," Fang Ming calculated silently within the world inside the Immortal Vine.

After dealing with Ma Liang, there would theoretically be several thousand years of peace, during which Fang Ming could completely relax and enrich himself.

As for the Mother of the Silverfish in the Demon Realm, what did that have to do with the Spirit Realm?

Even if the powerhouses of the Demon Realm couldn't resolve it, the probability of it coming to the Spirit Realm was not high.

There were so many realms surrounding the Demon Realm, it couldn't be that unlucky.

Moreover, the powerhouses of the Demon Realm might not be unable to resolve it!

Furthermore, even if it came, Fang Ming was not afraid.

Several months later, in the center of Heavenly Spirit City, within a tall and ancient palace.

"May I ask why Fellow Daoist Bao Hua is seeking me?" Han Li stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at the white-clothed woman in front of him.

Bao Hua looked at Han Li before her, amazed. Even though her injuries had completely recovered, the person before her still gave her a profound and unfathomable feeling.

She knew this feeling came from the vast disparity in strength between them.

After pondering for a moment, Bao Hua's red lips parted slightly, and she said, "I wonder if Daoist Han has ever heard of a fierce creature like the Mother of the Silverfish?"

"Mother of the Silverfish?" A glint flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he nodded slightly, "I've heard a little about it. It's said to be an infinitely terrifying fierce creature with the ability to devour all kinds of heaven and earth energy."

"However, it is rumored that this insect was sealed by a True Immortal from the Upper Realm and fell into eternal slumber," Han Li looked at Bao Hua and guessed, "Fellow Daoist mentioning this insect, could it be that it has broken the seal and awakened from its slumber?"

Regarding the matter of the Mother of the Silverfish, Han Li only learned of the existence of this fierce insect after soul-searching a few high-level Demon Lords in the Demon Realm.

In the memories of the Demon Lords, the Mother of the Silverfish had destroyed more than one realm similar to the Spirit Realm, which was why a True Immortal from the Upper Realm descended to suppress it.

"Although the seal hasn't been completely broken, the Mother of the Silverfish has indeed awakened!" Bao Hua said with a solemn expression.

"So that's how it is," Han Li nodded. He had already guessed Bao Hua's purpose for coming here.

"Therefore, Daoist Han must also understand my intention, right?" Bao Hua looked at Han Li and said solemnly, "That's right, I am here to ask Daoist Han to enter the Demon Realm and help us eliminate this great fierce creature!"

Yuan Yan, as a Primeval Ancestor of the Demon Realm, who had attained the Dao as an Evil Dragon, and possessed a Xuan Tian Treasure, only managed to barely escape with his life!

From this, it was clear that Han Li's strength was astonishingly immense.

According to Yuan Yan, Han Li possessed an incredibly terrifying Xuan Tian Treasure, very likely the 'Mystic Heaven Spirit Severing Sword', ranked first in the Spirit Realm, whose power far surpassed Yuan Yan's Mystic Heaven Black Dagger.

If Han Li were to help, relying on the power of this treasure, they might be able to slay the Mother of the Silverfish and resolve the issue once and for all.

"I apologize, but I must refuse," Han Li shook his head, his expression calm.

Bao Hua looked at the unmoved Han Li, her delicate brows furrowed, and said:

"The Mother of the Silverfish possesses vast divine abilities, no less than a True Immortal of the Immortal Realm, and has the power to break through realms. Moreover, its offspring also possess the ability to devour heaven and earth energy. The Spirit Realm and our realm are essentially in a relationship where if one falls, the other is in danger."

"If the Mother of the Silverfish escapes, the Spirit Realm will also be in danger. Moreover, we have already invited powerhouses from various realms, no less than a hundred Great Ascension cultivators!"

"There are many realms surrounding the Demon Realm; that fierce insect, upon breaking free, might not necessarily come to my Spirit Realm," Han Li shook his head, then changed the subject, saying, "Having experienced the previous great battle, does Fellow Daoist Bao Hua think I can feel at ease going to the Demon Realm?"

"That sealed place was built by a True Immortal back then, and your Demon Realm was responsible for guarding it. After countless years, you might have already mastered the restrictions and great formations of the sealed place. If I go there, I'm afraid it would be like a turtle in a jar!" Han Li said, a hint of cold mockery appearing on his face.

Yuan Yan wasn't dead yet!

In the battle a hundred years ago, he and Yuan Yan had formed an irreconcilable hatred!

As a Primeval Ancestor of the Demon Realm, Yuan Yan's understanding of the seal on the Mother of the Silverfish must far surpass that of ordinary people. It was highly likely he had mastered the restrictions and various great formations within it. For him to enter that sealed place would be truly unwise.

Bao Hua was silent for a moment, then said, "Daoist Han, what if Yuan Yan does not participate in this operation?"

"Fellow Daoist, please don't waste your effort. A gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall!" Han Li shook his head, having already made up his mind, and said indifferently, "I will not go. In the battle a hundred years ago, Fellow Daoist also knows the outcome. If you were in my place, what would you do?"

In the battle a hundred years ago, the Demon Realm suffered heavy losses; fourteen Holy Ancestors, by calculation, fell at the hands of him, a Spirit Emperor.

Such enmity was truly difficult to resolve!

Moreover, Bao Hua also said that the Demon Realm had gathered over a hundred Great Ascension powerhouses; lacking one Han Li wouldn't affect much.

With over a hundred Great Ascension cultivators making a move, even if a True Immortal descended, they would die instantly!

Bao Hua sighed, and after a long while, she said faintly, "In that case, let's just say I never came!"

As her voice fell, five-colored elemental energy separated from Bao Hua's body, her avatar then disintegrated, and the elemental energy returned to heaven and earth.

Looking at the spot where Bao Hua's avatar had just been, Han Li murmured, "I still need to pay close attention to the matter of the Mother of the Silverfish. Bao Hua is so cautious; this insect's divine abilities are likely even above those of ordinary True Immortals!"

"However, merely such divine abilities can cause realms like the Spirit Realm to collapse. Perhaps there truly is no fundamental difference between the Spirit Realm and the Lower Realm." For some reason, Han Li recalled the discussion he had with the Immortal Vine earlier about world levels.

Time flew by; over twenty years passed, and an extremely astonishing piece of news came from the Demon Realm.
