Chapter 189: Xiangxiang Promoted To True Martial Realm! Health Furnace Effect! The Trap Of The Immor
Chapter 189: Xiang Xiang's Promotion to True Martial Realm! The Benefits of the Life-Preserving Furnace! The Trap of Becoming an Immortal Begins to Emerge! Xue Yueqing Sets Off.
Chengsheng Mountain, Han Residence.
Han Li and Yao Xi were enjoying the scenery at the peak of Chengdao Peak. As newlyweds, they were particularly intimate, whispering sweet nothings to each other and being affectionate.
Little did Han Li know that marrying Yao Xi and obtaining her Yuan Yin had angered the Empress Huanyue, who was billions of miles away. The Empress had even sent a Holy Abyss Realm female saint to capture him.
At this moment, Han Li was pondering Yao Xi's situation. When Yao Xi broke through her body's seal, there was a moment when the seal loosened, but Han Li reinforced it in an instant.
However, this also caused some unexpected situations, such as the emergence of many memories, including a large number of cultivation techniques, martial arts, secret techniques, and cultivation experiences.
This further strengthened Yao Xi's soul, making her spiritual power incredibly strong, comparable to a grandmaster in the Myriad Manifestations Realm.
Han Li was considering whether to continue suppressing Yao Xi's cultivation level or to let her officially embark on the path of cultivation.
As a reincarnation of a powerful individual, if Yao Xi were to start cultivating again, her cultivation speed would be astonishing. For example, Long Yue, who was also a reincarnated powerhouse, reached the seventh level of the True Martial Realm in just over a hundred years. It was estimated that she would break through to the Divine Origin Realm at around two hundred years old.
If Yao Xi, as a reincarnated powerhouse, was originally in the Universal Truth Realm, her cultivation speed would be slower than Long Yue's, but still much faster than those talented cultivators.
If Yao Xi's previous life was in the Holy Abyss Realm, her cultivation speed should be similar to Long Yue's. If she was a Heavenly Sovereign Realm Emperor or even a Celestial Immortal in her previous life, her cultivation speed would be even faster.
If Yao Xi's previous life was in the Universal Truth Realm or the Holy Abyss Realm, Han Li had no fear. But if she was a Heavenly Sovereign Realm Emperor or even a Celestial Immortal in her previous life, then there would be some trouble.
"Wait, why do I feel like the cultivation speed of reincarnated powerhouses is faster than mine?"
Han Li suddenly became dazed, realizing that he was worrying about something unnecessary.
No matter how fast Yao Xi's cultivation speed was, could it be faster than his cheat-like speed?
Even if a Celestial Immortal or a Great Emperor wanted to restore their peak strength, it would take at least a thousand years to start. If a thousand years was too much, then five hundred years. It would already be extremely heaven-defying to cultivate to the level of a Great Emperor or a Celestial Immortal in five hundred years.
Han Li believed that his cultivation speed to become a Heavenly Sovereign Realm Emperor or a Celestial Immortal would be even faster. Three hundred years, two hundred years, or even one hundred years?
As the cultivation level increased, more cultivation resources would be needed. However, his descendants would also increase, and the speed of cultivation growth would only become faster, possibly offsetting the obstacles brought by the improvement in cultivation level.
After understanding this, Han Li decided to let Yao Xi decide for herself. If she wanted to cultivate, he would provide assistance. If she didn't want to, he would let her be.
"Xi Xi, do you want to cultivate?"
Holding the peerless beauty in his arms, Han Li rubbed her pink hair and whispered in her ear.
"I'll listen to my husband, hehe~"
Yao Xi chuckled lightly, sounding cheerful. These past few days, she had finally achieved her wish.
After officially marrying Han Li as his wife, Yao Xi automatically changed her address from "brother" to "husband." She had wanted to call him that for a long time.
Han Li's mouth twitched.
He let Yao Xi decide, but Yao Xi still listened to him. He still had to make the choice.
"Or, should I cultivate?"
Seeing that her husband didn't say anything, Yao Xi thought for a moment and said so.
"Why did Xi Xi suddenly change her mind?"
Han Li was curious. Yao Xi had never wanted to cultivate, even with her talent. If she unsealed her cultivation, her cultivation level would skyrocket.
"Because... because..."
Yao Xi lowered her head, her fair and jade-like face instantly turning red. She stuttered and couldn't find the words to say.
Han Li blinked, guessing her thoughts, and smiled, saying, "Is it because your husband's combat power is too strong, and Xi Xi can't bear it?"
Han Li felt that this was very likely.
Yao Xi did not cultivate, but her divine soul became stronger, nurturing her physical body with a powerful divine soul. Her physical cultivation is at most comparable to that of a Vital Spirit Realm cultivator.
Han Li's physical body is comparable to the fourth level of the Universal Truth Realm. Compared to him, Yao Xi is too weak and fragile. During battles, Han Li doesn't dare to exert too much force and treats her with great care, slowly engaging in combat with her.
Because of this, Han Li limits his own physical cultivation to the level of Soul Refining, just to make both sides more comfortable.
Even so, Yao Xi, who is new to the world, couldn't bear it. After a long period of adaptation, she finally accepted him.
"It's not like that. I... I just thought that with a higher cultivation, I can live longer and stay by my husband's side." Yao Xi blushed and retorted. Her little thoughts were guessed by her husband, but she was too embarrassed to admit it.
"Alright, alright." Han Li lowered his head and gently pressed his lips against her rosy ones. Yao Xi awkwardly responded.
After a long time, Han Li let her go and carefully observed the changes in Yao Xi. He found that compared to a few days ago, Yao Xi's charm had become even more captivating.
Her pink hair was crystal clear, naturally cascading down to her waist. Her beautiful eyes were like starry gemstones, pure and bright, full of vitality. Her figure was graceful and elegant, with a stunning appearance that could rival the most beautiful women. She had an otherworldly complexion, fair and translucent like white jade, with exquisite curves and a tranquil and youthful aura. With just a glance, Han Li's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"Husband~" Yao Xi sweetly called out, her eyes filled with happiness as she saw the affection in her husband's eyes.
Han Li responded and talked to her about cultivation, sharing his experiences, although he knew that Yao Xi would remember these things after her memories recovered.
The two of them spent a long time together on the mountaintop, reluctant to part. Han Li then left for the Li Clan.
Tai Kang Prefecture, Jeju.
On a thousand-zhang high mountain, two young men were drinking here, seemingly waiting for something.
One of them was dressed in brocade clothes, Han Yongjin from the Han Clan of Chengsheng Mountain. The other was dressed in green clothes, his brother Han Yongchun.
At first, their aptitude was very low, but because of their outstanding performance, Han Li included them in the list of key cultivators and assigned them Transcendence Pills, which transformed their aptitude to the fifth grade.
Now, both of them have cultivated to become Vital Spirit Realm cultivators. Han Yongjin is at the sixth level of the Vital Spirit Realm, while Han Yongchun is at the seventh level.
Although their cultivation is not high, their combat power is astonishing, comparable to peak Vital Spirit Realm cultivators. They also have their own trump cards, making it difficult for even weaker Soul Refining cultivators to deal with them.
"Brother Chun, when will they arrive?" Han Yongjin put down the wine jug and furrowed his brows, asking with displeasure.
After breaking through to the Vital Spirit Realm, he went out to experience the world. Not only him, but also the other disciples of the Han Clan, they all went out to experience the world after reaching the Vital Spirit Realm.
Han Yongjin had been honing himself outside for a year and met Han Yongchun. The two of them hit it off and decided to experience the world together.
They were both Han Li's sons. Although they were not born to the same mother, they were still blood brothers with close ties. With their father's restraint, they couldn't harm each other.
After they met, they embarked on a journey together, venturing out of the original state and coming to Jeju. In the original state, besides their family, the strongest were only Vital Spirit Realm cultivators, which had no effect on their cultivation.
Now, they were waiting for two Vital Spirit Realm cultivators to arrive. They were the core disciples of the Mingsang Sect in Jeju, which was an Empty Void Realm power.
"They should be here soon." Han Yongchun also furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat displeased.
The Mingsang Sect was only an Empty Void Realm power, yet their two core disciples were so tardy. Did they look down on them?
Although the Han Clan appeared to be a Soul Refining clan on the surface, he and Han Yongjin, as highly valued descendants, knew some secrets. Their father was far from being a simple Soul Refining cultivator. After all, their father taught them by example, teaching them to be low-key, cautious when going out, to hide their cultivation, and not to act recklessly, to plan before taking action.
Han Yongjin and Han Yongchun both knew that their father was definitely not a Soul Refining cultivator, but was likely an Empty Void Realm grandmaster. After all, their father was skilled at hiding his cultivation.
During their journey, their mother also revealed some secret information to them. Among them, it was mentioned that their father, Han Li, was a Myriad Manifestations Realm grandmaster.
The Han Clan descendants who knew this information were shocked yet felt that it was within their expectations. They had already become accustomed to their father's ways. Even if they were told that their father was a True Martial Realm Martial King, they would believe it.
Because they had a powerful father, Han Yongjin, Han Yongchun, Han Yongfan, Han Yongyan, and others were full of confidence while gaining experience outside, and they were not worried about offending anyone.
In the Great Qian Dynasty, apart from the formidable master of the capital, their father was the strongest.
The most powerful force in Jizhou, the Canghai Sect, had a Grandmaster at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, but their father's strength might be even stronger.
After all, the Han Family had many Heaven Grade martial arts techniques, and even more Earth Grade martial arts techniques. As specially trained descendants, they chose some techniques that could enhance their combat power.
If they learned them, their father would definitely know them too. His combat power was probably very strong, far surpassing the Grandmaster of the Canghai Sect. How many Heaven Grade martial arts techniques did the Canghai Sect have?
"Brother Chun, let's wait for another half an hour. If they still haven't arrived, we'll find someone else," Han Yongjin said impatiently.
They came to Jizhou to participate in a genius battle organized by the Canghai Sect, with the hope of winning abundant rewards.
Han Yongjin and Han Yongchun naturally didn't care about these rewards. What they wanted was fame, to achieve something that would impress their father and receive better cultivation.
The genius battle consisted of three tests, one of which involved entering a barrier to hunt and accumulate points by killing demonic beasts. This stage was a team competition, requiring teams of two to five people.
Han Yongjin and Han Yongchun were naturally strong enough, but out of caution, they wanted to find two teammates who could act as cannon fodder or provide support in dangerous situations.
These were all part of the training program in the Han Family, and the two of them had always kept them in mind during their experiences outside. As a result, they were invincible and had a smooth journey.
"Alright," Han Yongchun nodded.
Finding two cannon fodder teammates was all they needed. The two disciples from the Mingcang Sect would do, as would other cultivators. Although it would be somewhat dangerous to follow them, they would gain a lot of benefits and enter the third stage.
Han Yongchun picked up his wine cup and took another sip, but his mind was focused on the genius battle.
A few years ago, he obtained an opportunity in the Mangyang Mountain ruins in the original state of Leiyuan Prefecture. After coming out, his cultivation progressed rapidly, and he experienced many things. When he returned to the Han Family, his father rewarded him with a Transcendence Pill and the status of a specially trained disciple, providing him with abundant cultivation resources.
He was originally quite satisfied, as his aptitude reached the fifth rank and he became a specially trained descendant, with a bright future ahead. However, he was awakened again by a conversation between Han Yonglin and Han Yongyun, his brothers.
In a few years, these specially trained disciples like him might face intense competition and reshuffling. Han Yongchun didn't know the reason, but he knew he had to work harder.
He wanted to take the lead in this genius battle, or at least enter the top three. Only then would he have the qualifications to be praised by his father when he returned to the Han Family.
Han Yongjin had similar thoughts. He obtained the Transcendence Pill through his abilities, and now that he no longer had the simple task of finding the Transcendence Flower, he could only perform well.
Fortunately, his aptitude and cultivation had improved, giving him the ability to compete with those brothers and sisters. Although their aptitude was higher, most of them were only one rank higher than him.
The two brothers were thinking about these matters when the two core disciples of the Mingcang Sect finally arrived after a quarter of an hour.
"Yongjin, Yongchun, sorry to keep you waiting."
The two disciples of the Mingcang Sect quickly apologized, seemingly sincere. However, Han Yongchun and Han Yongjin noticed that they were pretending.
Both of them had used false identities during their experiences outside, but they didn't expect to be underestimated by the core disciples of the Mingcang Sect.
"No need to be polite."
"It's our first time here too."
Although they had already put the two of them on the cannon fodder list in their hearts, Han Yongjin and Han Yongchun behaved very politely and showed no signs of being bothered.
The two core disciples of the Mingcang Sect sneered inwardly. They were just wandering cultivators, so easily fooled. They didn't dare to provoke disciples from major sects like them.
The two of them had already planned to use these two early-stage Vital Spirit Realm wandering cultivators as cannon fodder. Otherwise, they wouldn't have teamed up with them.
"Now that both of you are here, let's go. The genius battle will start in a day," Han Yongchun suggested.
Afterwards, the four of them flew towards the Canghai Sect.
Chengsheng Mountain, Han Family.
Han Li arrived at Lutianxiang's sleeping quarters.
This time, he didn't come to cultivate with Lutianxiang. The Holy Mistress was finally about to break through to the True Martial Realm, and Han Li was here to protect her.
"Lutianxiang, are you ready?"
Looking at the peerless beauty sitting cross-legged, Han Li walked to her and asked softly.
Although Han Li now had many beautiful wives and concubines, only Longyue and Bai Keqing were True Martial Realm beauties. When Lutianxiang broke through, there would be three True Martial Realm beauties.
Han Li had obtained a True Martial Pill from opening a treasure chest before, and he had already given it to Xiangxiang Master. Xiangxiang Master's cultivation had also reached the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, but she had not been able to break through.
The martial dao true intent she condensed was only at a strong level, stronger than ordinary, but not at the top level. Of course, she didn't know this herself; Han Li had told her.
So Lutianxiang decided to refine herself well when she advanced to the True Martial Realm, enhancing her foundation. If she could refine a third-grade martial dao true pill on her own, then with the help of the True Martial Pill, she might be able to refine an imperial-grade martial dao true pill.
After establishing a solid foundation, she could break through to higher realms in the future. Lutianxiang's gaze had long changed; she was no longer limited to the True Martial Realm or the Divine Origin Realm. She wanted to break through to the Universal Truth Realm.
She believed it was very possible, because she had a good husband, after all. Her husband was a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor with the power of the Universal Truth Realm. He was only a little over two hundred years old, and it was only a matter of time before he advanced to become a powerful figure in the Universal Truth Realm and a saint in the Holy Abyss Realm.
She, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yue, as well as Longyue, Bai Keqing, and others, had hope of breaking through to the Universal Truth Realm with her husband's help.
Therefore, Lutianxiang wanted to build a solid foundation. After all, her husband had said that refining an imperial-grade martial dao true pill in the True Martial Realm was just the beginning. To break through to the Divine Origin Realm, she would need to refine a primordial spirit of the imperial-grade martial dao. Only then could she reach higher realms.
"Husband, I'm ready," Lutianxiang nodded, her expression a little nervous.
"Xiangxiang, relax, there's no need to worry. Just break through directly," Han Li reassured her.
"Even if you don't refine an imperial-grade martial dao true pill, there will be a chance to make up for the foundation when you break through to the Divine Origin Realm and cultivate an imperial-grade martial dao primordial spirit," Han Li said, embracing Xiangxiang Master and biting her beautiful red lips, soothing her nervousness.
"Mmm~"
After being comforted by Han Li, Lutianxiang indeed became less nervous.
After a short rest, Lutianxiang began her breakthrough journey.
Her martial dao true intent surged, gathering above her head and gradually condensing into a round pill.
At first, it was somewhat illusory, but with the continuous grinding of the martial dao true intent, the martial dao true pill gradually solidified and emitted a powerful aura.
After a dozen breaths, Lutianxiang's forehead was covered in sweat, but she continued to persevere, wanting to do better.
"Xiangxiang, refine the True Martial Pill," Han Li urged.
The martial dao true pill that Lutianxiang had condensed had reached the second-grade level, but she wanted to continue and refine it to the first-grade level. Obviously, she had reached a dead end.
Lutianxiang gritted her teeth and followed her husband's instructions, swallowing the True Martial Pill in her mouth and refining it with her cultivation.
As the True Martial Pill was refined, a powerful energy poured into her body, blessing her martial dao true intent, causing the true intent of the martial dao true pill to instantly surge.
Three breaths later, the grade of the martial dao true pill reached the first-grade level.
Nine breaths later, the grade of the martial dao true pill approached the imperial-grade level.
Han Li raised an eyebrow; he found that the True Martial Pill was somewhat inadequate and unable to help Lutianxiang refine an imperial-grade true pill.
Without hesitation, Han Li took out another True Martial Pill and had Lutianxiang refine it.
The True Martial Pill was only a second-grade spirit pill, corresponding to a Heaven Grade treasure. Han Li had opened many treasure chests and had several in stock besides this one.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lutianxiang's eyes, but she did not refuse. She obediently followed the command and refined the second True Martial Pill.
With the help of the new True Martial Pill, Lutianxiang successfully refined an imperial-grade martial dao true pill.
Afterwards, with a thought, her realm broke through, taking some time, and she successfully advanced to the True Martial Realm, becoming a True Martial Realm Martial King.
"Husband, thank you," Lutianxiang immediately threw herself into Han Li's arms, her face filled with gratitude.
She knew that her husband might have more True Martial Pills, but Lutianxiang had never thought of asking for more. After all, her other sisters also wanted to break through to the True Martial Realm.
She didn't expect that her husband would actually give her a True Martial Pill. Without any hesitation, it can be seen from this point that her husband cares a lot about her.
Before she was captured by her husband, he promised to help her advance to the True Martial Realm. In less than ten years, she has already advanced. It is very likely that she will break through to the Divine Origin Realm and the Universal Truth Realm in the future.
She is very grateful to be her husband's wife.
"Han Li, is this how you thank your husband?"
A wicked smile appeared on Han Li's face as he lifted the lowered head of the leader Xiang Xiang and walked into the depths of the bedroom.
Xiang Xiang, the leader, broke through to the True Martial Realm and became a Martial King. It is believed that her combat power has soared.
Han Li wanted to have a discussion with Xiang Xiang, the leader, to see who is stronger. The two of them talked about profound principles. When Han Li explained the Dao, he was clear and easy to understand. Xiang Xiang, the leader, listened with great fascination and was defeated.
In the blink of an eye, it was five months later.
During these months, Han Li did not take any concubines in the Han Mansion, mainly because he couldn't find suitable targets.
But he continued to take concubines in the Li Mansion. In five months, he took in seven beautiful concubines, each of whom met the new standards for taking concubines.
After this period of dual cultivation, the cultivation of Han Li's wives and concubines in both mansions has made rapid progress, and they have successively advanced by one or several small realms.
During this time, Han Li also often lectured on the Dao for his descendants, imparting various experiences and vigorously cultivating those descendants on the priority cultivation list, so that they can continue to break through.
With the assistance of the Life Nurturing Furnace and the Time Heaven Tower, the Han Mansion has entered a period of rapid growth, and its foundation has rapidly increased. The longer the time, the stronger the foundation.
The effect of the Life Nurturing Furnace is extremely powerful, far surpassing the Spirit Nurturing Furnace and the imitation Life Nurturing Furnace. It has six major auxiliary effects.
First, it can absorb high-level spiritual energy from the netherworld to condense into spiritual sources, and it can also absorb external spiritual energy to condense into spiritual sources, although the efficiency is lower.
This high-level spiritual energy is close to immortal energy and is higher than the high-level spiritual energy of the Spirit Nurturing Furnace and the Life Nurturing Furnace.
As long as there is sufficient high-level spiritual source, the Life Nurturing Furnace can create powerful helpers, such as the Five Divine Beasts. The strongest can create a Holy Abyss Realm initial stage, but it requires a lot of spiritual source and can only maintain two.
Second, after receiving the baptism of the Life Nurturing Furnace, the aptitude of the baptized object will be improved by one level, and the comprehension will also be greatly improved.
Each month, only three baptisms can be performed, each requiring a considerable amount of spiritual energy. Spiritual energy can also be voluntarily provided to charge the Life Nurturing Furnace, increasing the number of baptisms to a maximum of six per month.
Thirdly, entering the Life Nurturing Furnace for tempering takes a day, and can only be done three times a month, each time consuming a significant amount of spiritual energy.
The physical and spiritual cultivation of the tempered object will both experience a significant increase, with the extent of the increase varying depending on the cultivation level. The maximum increase from one tempering can be up to tenfold.
Fourthly, practicing within the range covered by the Life Nurturing Furnace will greatly accelerate cultivation speed, with a maximum capacity of ten people. Increasing the number of people will result in a decrease in the accelerated cultivation speed.
Fifthly, the spiritual energy of the Life Nurturing Furnace can quickly repair physical and spiritual injuries, allowing cultivators to restore themselves to their peak state. Even if not injured, the physical and spiritual aspects will always be at their peak within the range of the Life Nurturing Furnace, which is beneficial for cultivation, enlightenment, and spellcasting.
Sixthly, the Life Nurturing Furnace can assist cultivators in breaking through, enhancing the chances of a breakthrough. The probability of breaking through is 100% below the Empty Void Realm, 80% for the Empty Void Realm, 60% for the Myriad Manifestations Realm, 40% for the True Martial Realm, 20% for the Divine Origin Realm, 10% for the Universal Truth Realm, 5% for the Holy Abyss Realm, and 2% for the chance of advancing to the quasi-emperor level.
The highest level that can be achieved is the quasi-emperor level. The Life Nurturing Furnace is ultimately just a top-grade divine weapon and cannot help cultivators ascend to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm and become a Great Emperor.
Even so, this does not diminish the status of the Life Nurturing Furnace as an ancient treasure.
Having understood the effects of the Life Nurturing Furnace, Han Li was extremely happy and greatly appreciated Yin Ling. He also wanted to quickly repair the damage to the Life Nurturing Furnace.
Currently, the Life Nurturing Furnace only has 70% of its peak power, with all six effects reduced to 70% of their usual strength.
Han Li also knew that this couldn't be rushed. Repairing the Life Nurturing Furnace would take time, and he would need to wait until he obtained suitable Immortal Gold and Divine Iron from the treasure chest to feed Yin Ling.
Now that Yin Ling had completely integrated into the Han Clan, she stayed in the small space within the Void Clock every day, happily playing with the purple-tempered spirit of the Void Clock, the sword spirit Jian Ji of the Slashing Dao Sword, and the tower spirit Shi Qi of the Time Heaven Tower. The four spirit maidens played joyfully every day.
In these five months, Han Li had opened five treasure chests, each costing five years of cultivation, totaling twenty-five years of cultivation.
This consumption was not much, but occasionally he could obtain good things from opening the chests, which Han Li felt was very worthwhile. As for opening the second and third treasure chests each month, it was not as worthwhile, as there was no guarantee of obtaining anything.
Every time he opened a treasure chest, Han Li would either see a dragon and take off its armor, or confront a demon, sometimes he would also show mercy and spare them, benefiting from their luck.
Overall, the results are very good. Three good things were obtained from the five treasure chests, with only two being slightly average. Fortunately, there was no situation of very bad luck.
The first time encountering the "Dragon Unarmored," the divine-level supreme technique, "Life and Death Scripture," was obtained.
The second time encountering the "Dragon Unarmored," the low-grade divine medicine, "Three Dark Yellow Springs Grass," was obtained.
The first time ascending the "Demon Tower," the emperor-level medium-grade weapon, "Battle Tower," was obtained.
The second time ascending the "Demon Tower," the Heaven Grade supreme martial art, "Geng Metal Sword Technique," was obtained.
The first time showing affection, the low-grade divine pill, "Primordial Spirit Pill," was obtained.
Han Li is quite satisfied with these results and decides to encounter the "Dragon Unarmored," ascend the "Demon Tower," or show affection more often in the future, to experience new tastes.
The "Three Dark Yellow Springs Grass" is the main material for refining a kind of Divine Origin Realm pill. This pill can help the Primordial Spirit grow, and its effect is quite good. After obtaining it, Han Li decides to cultivate it.
With the nourishment of the spiritual source from the life-preserving furnace, the "Three Dark Yellow Springs Grass" has survived, but it is still a long way to go to turn one divine medicine into ten, a hundred, or even more.
The "Primordial Spirit Pill" is similar to the "True Martial Pill" and the "Universal Truth Pill." They all help cultivators break through major realms. It can increase the probability of breaking through the peak of the True Martial Realm and reaching the Divine Origin Realm by fifty percent, and it can also increase the grade of the martial Primordial Spirit by one to three levels.
This kind of realm-breaking pill has the best effect when used with the life-preserving furnace. The probability of breaking through will increase again, making it almost certain. It can also increase the grade of the True Martial Pill and the martial Primordial Spirit.
The "Geng Metal Sword Technique" is the lowest-grade item obtained from the five treasure chests, only a Heaven Grade supreme item. Fortunately, it is supported by his all-purpose martial True Intent, and its power is comparable to that of a divine-level supreme item.
With this martial art, Han Li has gained another method in the Universal Truth Realm's fifth heaven. When combined with the supreme divine weapon, the "Slashing Dao Sword," its power will increase significantly.
The "Battle Tower" is an emperor-level medium-grade item, which makes Han Li feel a bit regretful. It is not a true emperor weapon. From emperor-level low-grade to emperor-level medium-grade, it is considered a quasi-emperor weapon. Only from emperor-level high-grade to emperor-level supreme is it an emperor weapon.
Don't be fooled by the small difference between emperor-level medium-grade and emperor-level high-grade. The gap between them is difficult to measure; it is the difference between a quasi-emperor and a great emperor.
The "Battle Tower" is a top-notch quasi-emperor weapon with very powerful offensive power. However, what Han Li values is its accompanying effect.
The "Battle Tower" can be used to train and test the descendants of the family.
The interior of the "Battle Tower" is divided into forty levels, forming its own space, covering the Innate Realm to the Holy Abyss Realm. Each realm has four levels of space for testing.
The Battle Tower will automatically generate layers of living beings, encompassing various races such as humans, demons, barbarians, feathered beings, stone beings, spirit beings, and so on.
The first three layers of each realm belong to the normal combat power of that realm. After passing or skipping the fourth layer, one can enter a new realm to challenge. The fourth layer belongs to the transboundary combat power. The Innate Realm Tower is guarded by the Sea Opening Realm, and the True Martial Realm Tower is guarded by the Divine Origin Realm.
Through the Battle Tower, one can effectively hone the combat experience of the family's descendants, provide them with a place to fight, and cultivate martial skills. By reaching the corresponding levels, they can obtain rewards bestowed by Han Li.
Especially for the descendants who pass the fourth layer of each realm, Han Li will include them in the list of core descendants for cultivation.
This is a new thing he has come up with, and he plans to implement it comprehensively after the merger of the Han and Li families. The descendants of the Li family all have talent, and most of them are at the sixth rank or above, theoretically meeting the criteria for key cultivation.
Therefore, Han Li has created a list for the cultivation of core descendants, specifically targeting those extremely talented individuals who can fight across a major realm. This will enhance the cultivation of these descendants, provide them with better treatment, and help them go further and higher.
The Life and Death Scripture is a top-notch Holy Abyss Realm technique. Han Li has placed it in the scripture pavilion, and those who are interested can cultivate it. Of course, certain permissions are required to access it.
Currently, the cultivation techniques of the Han family are divided into two types. One is to primarily cultivate the Yin Yang Five Elements Art and also cultivate other techniques, then integrate them into the Yin Yang Five Elements Art to deduce the most suitable technique for oneself. The grade will also increase accordingly.
The second type is to not cultivate the Yin Yang Five Elements Art directly, but to primarily cultivate other powerful techniques, such as the Life and Death Scripture. This approach is simpler and allows for faster cultivation, but it is difficult to forge one's own path.
Han Li and his group of beautiful wives all follow the first approach. Only a small portion of his concubines and descendants choose the first approach, while the majority follow the second path.
Last time, the Wind and Cloud Illusory Heaven Art was obtained. Han Li integrated it into his Chaos Art, which significantly increased its grade, but it has not yet reached the level of a high-grade divine technique. It is estimated that three or four more high-grade divine techniques are needed.
This time, the Life and Death Scripture, a high-grade divine technique, was obtained. After Han Li cultivated it, he once again integrated it into the Chaos Art, directly promoting the Chaos Art to the level of a high-grade divine technique.
Now, the Chaos Art that Han Li cultivates has also reached the level of a Sage-level technique, greatly enhancing his strength, but not as much as he had imagined.
His true essence reserves have increased from being comparable to the first level of the Universal Truth Realm to being comparable to the fourth level of the Universal Truth Realm, but his combat power has not advanced to a higher realm.
The main reason is that the power gap between realms is too large. The mid-stage of the Universal Truth Realm and the late-stage of the Universal Truth Realm are also major thresholds, making it difficult to cross the gap in combat power.
Han Li estimates that there are three ways to improve his maximum combat power. The first is to advance to a higher realm and reach the late-stage of the Divine Origin Realm. The second is to develop divine perception and go further in the field of divine perception.
The third is to obtain Emperor-level martial techniques and cultivate an attack-type Emperor-level low-grade or medium-grade martial technique to perfection.
"Hu~"
Han Li took a long breath and decided to seize all three opportunities and work hard on all three fronts in order to comprehensively improve his strength.
At this moment, Lutian Xiang flew up and landed beside Han Li, leaning on his shoulder and softly calling out, "Husband~"
"What's wrong, Xiang Xiang?"
Han Li sensed that Xiang Xiang had something on her mind, almost written all over her face, and it was hard not to notice.
"Husband, ever since I broke through to the True Martial Realm, I have felt a mysterious calling. As time passes, this calling has become stronger and stronger."
"I have been thinking, it should be because of the cultivation technique I practice, the 'Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture,' that this mysterious calling seems to be guiding me to search for the sequel to the scripture."
Lutian Xiang's face was filled with worry as she sighed.
In the past, she would have eagerly gone to search for it, but now she didn't want to. She had a good husband and didn't lack powerful cultivation techniques. She could even casually cultivate techniques at the Holy Abyss Realm level.
Although the Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture might be an immortal scripture, it only had the upper half, and it was likely missing the lower half or the middle and lower parts.
In the past, she didn't want to switch because she wanted to cultivate the complete immortal scripture. But now it didn't hold much meaning. Instead of pursuing the elusive immortal scripture, it was better to cultivate a Holy Abyss Realm level technique, which was more practical.
Moreover, the sequel to the Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture likely had hidden dangers and traps, waiting for her to fall into.
Otherwise, when she just broke through to the True Martial Realm and cultivated the upper half of the Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture to perfection, why would this mysterious calling appear? It couldn't be such a coincidence.
Han Li raised an eyebrow. He knew about Lutian Xiang's situation, and he had previously tried to persuade her to switch techniques, but now his thoughts were different.
He wanted Lutian Xiang to continue cultivating.
Even with the help of the Life Nurturing Furnace, Lutian Xiang's aptitude could only reach the first rank. She could cultivate up to the Universal Truth Realm, but the Holy Abyss Realm was difficult. However, with the Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture, it was different.
This scripture likely had corresponding methods to help cultivators break through the Holy Abyss Realm, break through the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and even transcend tribulation to become an immortal.
It's just that Lutian Xiang only possessed a small portion of the Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture, only up to the True Martial Realm part. The later parts were the most important.
The upper half only recorded some irrelevant information, not even mentioning the method to break through from the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm to the True Martial Realm, let alone the method to refine the True Essence Pill.
Han Li had long determined that this immortal scripture was a trap, waiting for future generations to cultivate it to the True Martial Realm and then go for the sequel, where the trap would befall them or continue to fish, not in a hurry to harvest the leeks.
Now that he had become powerful and even possessed the top-grade imperial treasure, the Void Bell, Han Li was confident that he could kill this scheming old monster and obtain the complete Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture.
At that time, when Lutian Xiang cultivated the complete Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture, she would surely achieve great accomplishments. Han Li didn't want her to be overshadowed by others. She was his first wife, and Han Li had special feelings for her.
Not only Lutian Xiang, but also Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yue, and others, Han Li would find a way to pave the way for them and strive to help them cultivate to higher realms.
As for the concubines, Han Li had also changed his mind. If they felt that immortality was meaningless and wanted to reincarnate, Han Li would no longer force them. If they wanted to live longer, Han Li would provide corresponding assistance.
Holding the Holy Mistress in his arms, Han Li thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Xiang Xiang, take it easy for now. Wait for two or three years, and then I will help you retrieve the sequel to the Myriad Beings Ascend to Immortality Scripture."
Although he had a great chance of success if he went now, Han Li still wanted to wait and be fully prepared. Otherwise, the fisherman was a prehistoric giant crocodile, and he would fall flat on his face.
"I will listen to Husband."
Lutian Xiang nodded, the worry on her fair and jade-like face dissipated, replaced by a smile. Her enchanting charm emerged as she took the initiative to bite Han Li's lips.
"How does Husband want Xiang Xiang to repay you?" Lutian Xiang said shyly and timidly.
"Hahaha~ Of course, it's to let me cherish and treasure you."
Han Li laughed and carried Lutian Xiang in his arms as the two of them disappeared from the peak of the Chengdao Peak.
"Boom~"
On the Chengdao Peak, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Bai Keqing, Long Yue, and others woke up one after another. They looked up at the sky, thinking it was going to rain, but found that the sky was clear and cloudless for miles.
But this sound, as urgent as thunder, resounded throughout the entire Chengdao Peak, even causing the peak itself to tremble.
The women exchanged glances and released their spiritual awareness to check the outside world. They found that everything in the Han Mansion was normal, and they didn't hear anything. They understood.
Somewhat helpless, my husband's actions this time were too big. We should do the same next time.
After searching for a while, they knew that my husband was fighting with Lutianxiang because Lutianxiang didn't come out, and they were all here.
Demon realm, Wan Yao Mountain.
After a long period of seclusion, the Demon Emperor Xueyueqing finally came out of seclusion.
Although she concealed her aura, it was faintly unstable, which was caused by just breaking through the realm.
"Phew~ I finally broke through."
A smile appeared on the face of the Demon Emperor Xueyueqing. She had put a lot of effort into this trip to the Xuan Realm.
She used some precious treasures that she was reluctant to use before, refining them one by one, just to improve her realm.
She succeeded, breaking through from the Triple Heaven of the Divine Origin Realm to the Quadruple Heaven of the Divine Origin Realm.
Although it was only a small realm improvement, it was a significant increase in strength from the early stage to the middle stage of the Divine Origin Realm.
Previously, she didn't have much confidence in the trip to the Xuan Realm, but now she had a lot of confidence. With her current strength, she should be able to achieve good results.
Leaving the place of seclusion, Xueyueqing's figure appeared at the top of Wan Yao Mountain, bowing and saying, "Ancestor, Xueqing wants to borrow the Tianyue Wheel."
"Approved!"
A majestic voice sounded, followed by the appearance of a lunar wheel, radiating divine light and containing immense power.
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Xueyueqing respectfully said, picking up the Tianyue Wheel, and her figure disappeared from the top of Wan Yao Mountain.
She only possessed a top-grade divine weapon, which was also a Holy Abyss Realm weapon, but compared to the Tianyue Wheel, there was still a big gap. The Tianyue Wheel was an excellent divine weapon with a complete spirit, capable of unleashing terrifying power.
Moreover, the Tianyue Wheel was quite compatible with her. She had long wanted this top-grade divine weapon, but her status was not enough.
According to the Ancestor, she had to cultivate to the peak of the Divine Origin Realm at least before she could wield this top-grade divine weapon. By then, she would be able to unleash the power of a Universal Truth Realm powerhouse.
"Finally accomplished."
The Demon Emperor Xueyueqing left happily, her figure leaving Wan Yao Mountain and heading towards the Xuan Realm.
With the Tianyue Wheel, her journey was almost certain.
But before that, she had to search the Xuan Realm and find her trusted subordinate, the Demon Queen Bai Keqing.
Bai Keqing had been missing for seven or eight years. Although the life lamp showed no signs of danger and even became more vigorous, the Demon Emperor Xueyueqing was still somewhat worried.
She also wanted to see what Bai Keqing was up to and why her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds in such a short time, seemingly reaching the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm.
She had investigated for several years, but there was no clue about the person who saved Bai Keqing back then, Ye Fan.
Now she had the opportunity to go herself. She had a special connection with Bai Keqing, even Bai Keqing herself didn't know.
With this backhand, she could find Bai Keqing's whereabouts.
When she left this backhand, Xueyueqing wanted to avoid any unexpected situations. If something happened to Bai Keqing, she could rescue her.
Bai Keqing had cultivated all the way to the True Martial Realm, and Xueyueqing thought she wouldn't need this backhand anymore, but unexpectedly, she still needed it now.
Bai Keqing had great potential. If she could be nurtured by Wan Yao Mountain, she had the potential to break through to the Divine Origin Realm and become the new Demon Emperor.
In that case, Xueyueqing would have an additional helper, and the demon race would also increase its strength.
Although under the pressure of the human race, the demon race was quite united internally, but there was still competition, just not as intense as the human race.
As the Demon Emperor, she wanted to obtain more cultivation resources and higher status. She had to achieve results to receive the blessings of the Ancestor.
