Chapter 179: Marrying Bai Keqing! Female Demon King? Female Valkyrie! Breakthrough! Breakthrough!
Demon realm, Mount Wan Yao.
The intelligence from the Dragon King's secret realm finally made its way back and was learned by the Demon Emperor, Xue Yueqing.
"These bald donkeys from the Buddhist sect are still so disgusting."
A trace of anger appeared on Xue Yueqing's exquisite and flawless face.
Seven True Martial Realm Martial Kings were trapped in the Dragon King's secret realm. The four True Martial Realm Martial Kings from the Demon Sect, Da Jing Empire, Da Liang Empire, and the Underworld Heaven did not lay a hand on Bai Keqing, only the Buddhist sect had no shame.
They dared to rely on their numbers and attempt to suppress and kill Bai Keqing. They deserve to die.
She sent Bai Keqing to the Profound Realm mainly to broaden her horizons and see if she could also obtain some opportunities. As for retrieving the Dragon Ball, she didn't have any hope at all.
Bai Keqing was her confidant, and Xue Yueqing had given her many trump cards. Even if she failed to return, she had an excuse to reward her with a large amount of cultivation resources.
According to Xue Yueqing's initial estimate, at most one True Martial Realm Martial King from each force would go to compete. The forces around the Great Qian Empire would not empty their nests, as the risk would be too great.
Indeed, only the Kuroyama Temple had sent the Kuroyama Vajra, a True Martial Realm expert. Who would have expected that the female Bodhisattva from Mount Sumeru would also send a Camel Mountain Vajra to support, truly shameless.
If it was only the Kuroyama Vajra alone, although his combat power was stronger than Bai Keqing and Chen Jingyun, he would not be able to trap the two in the Dragon King's secret realm.
When the Dragon King's secret realm was about to appear, Xue Yueqing considered this point and planned to ask the Heavenly Demon Daoist to deduce whether the expected scene would happen.
However, the Heavenly Demon Daoist revealed another piece of information to her, which made Xue Yueqing somewhat confused. She hurriedly went to discuss with several Demon Emperors, temporarily ignoring Bai Keqing's matter.
Fortunately, a powerful individual arrived and injured the Kuroyama Vajra and the Camel Mountain Vajra, saving Bai Keqing. Otherwise, Bai Keqing would likely have died, or even if she didn't die, she would have been captured and converted on Mount Sumeru. Both of these outcomes were unacceptable to Xue Yueqing.
Although she didn't know who this Ye Fan was, Xue Yueqing had some favorable impressions of him. From his actions, he didn't have a good impression of the Buddhist sect and the Demon sect. Otherwise, Ye Fan wouldn't have severely injured the four True Martial Realm experts from the two sects.
It was much better for Bai Keqing to be saved by Ye Fan than to die in the Dragon King's secret realm or be captured and converted on Mount Sumeru.
However, Ye Fan had quite an arrogant attitude and was very domineering. He showed disrespect towards the female Bodhisattva and even slapped any passing True Martial Realm expert. With such strength and confidence, and such a style, who exactly was this peak True Martial Realm expert?
Snow Moon Qing wanted to ask Tian Yao Dao to calculate it, but after some consideration, she decided against it. The amount of energy required to calculate a True Martial peak is too much. If Ye Fan still has a treasure that can conceal his own secrets, the cost will increase exponentially.
Now that the Yao Clan is weak, it's better to keep their reserves for future possible turmoil. After all, Bai Keqing is not dead yet.
There is still a life lamp of Bai Keqing in Wan Yao Mountain, which has not been extinguished until now. Maybe Bai Keqing will return to the Yao Domain after recovering from her injuries. If she can't come back, then she will have to go to the Xuan Domain.
Looking down at the land of the Yao Domain, Snow Moon Qing sighed in her heart and silently thought, "Is the Qian Primordial Spirit State going to be in chaos too?"
According to her investigation, the major holy sites are actively preparing for this matter. The Descending Dragon Arhat of Mount Xumi, the Three Palm Teachers of Baiyu Jing, the Blood Sea Demon Emperor of the Demon Temple, and so on, have all come out or are about to come out, all for this matter.
This matter is too big, starting from the Xuan Domain and involving the entire Qian Primordial Spirit State, causing the Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors of the Human Clan's Four Holy Sites, the Yao Clan's Wan Yao Mountain, the Barbarian Clan's Peak of the Stars, and even the Penglai Immortal Sect to intervene.
On the side of Wan Yao Mountain, it has been confirmed that she will go to the Xuan Domain and participate in the event nine years later.
If Bai Keqing returns to the Yao Domain, then there will be no problem. If not, she will leave earlier, use some special means to find Bai Keqing's trace, take her away, and then participate in the event.
East Sea, Dragon Palace.
"Is it over?"
Leng Yue, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened her eyes, with a hint of inexplicable color in her eyes.
She has a special connection with the Dragon Saint's Secret Realm and knows when it opens and closes. However, Leng Yue has been in seclusion and doesn't know the specific situation.
She muttered a few words in a low voice, then closed her eyes again and continued her seclusion.
Her immediate priority now is to break through to the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, and then go to the Xuan Domain to complete the final step of her plan.
After that, she can calmly leave and return to the East Sea Dragon Palace to continue her cultivation and strive for the Divine Origin Realm.
In the depths of the East Sea, Penglai Immortal Island.
On top of Penglai Immortal Mountain, there is a thin and old Taoist sitting cross-legged on a cliff. He is facing the direction of the Divine Continent, with the sea breeze blowing on his face, seemingly unaware.
Not far from him, there was a broken water tank, inside of which the colorful loaches were no longer lifeless. Their eyes were bright, swimming in the tank.
At this moment, a young Taoist in a plain blue robe appeared on the cliff, carrying a sword sheath on his back, but there was no sword inside.
The young Taoist approached the water tank with his hands folded, squatting down to closely observe the colorful loaches inside. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in the young Taoist's eyes. He clicked his tongue in admiration and then asked, "Master Guanhai, do you think she can succeed?"
Guanhai, the old Taoist who had been sitting by the sea, opened his eyes, a hint of helplessness flashing in them. How did this troublemaker end up in Penglai again?
"Success or failure is determined by fate and method," Guanhai said with a mysterious tone.
The young Taoist pursed his lips and said, "It's no fun if you pretend to be ignorant while actually understanding everything."
Guanhai smiled and remained silent, not wanting to engage with him.
Seeing that the young Taoist was still staring intently, as if trying to uncover the truth, Guanhai couldn't help but ask, "Lu Zhen, why did you, as one of the three palm teachers of Baiyu Jing, come to Penglai?"
Lu Zhen, the third palm teacher of Baiyu Jing, sat down beside him, adopting a casual posture with his hands folded. He smiled bitterly and said, "Baiyu Jing is too boring. I've been locked up there for over a thousand years and can't even catch a breath. So, as soon as I came out, I ran to Penglai to find you. How about that? Isn't it thoughtful?"
"Don't even mention it. There's no treasure in Penglai for you to take," Guanhai directly exposed his intentions.
Lu Zhen didn't mind and continued, "I think your Penglai's Flying Immortal Map is quite good. Can you give it to me, your junior?"
Guanhai's mouth twitched. Although he had known that Lu Zhen had thick skin, seeing him again after a thousand years still left him speechless.
"The Flying Immortal Map is an immortal weapon. Even I can't fully utilize it, so how can I give it to you?" Guanhai shook his head.
"If not the Flying Immortal Map, then how about giving me an Emperor's Weapon?" Lu Zhen blinked his eyes, pretending that he had never seen the Flying Immortal Map before.
Guanhai continued to shake his head and said, "Baiyu Jing has a great heritage and profound background. There are countless immortal and emperor weapons. As the third palm teacher of Baiyu Jing, you came to Penglai to take advantage of us. That's not very ethical."
"Stingy," Lu Zhen said disappointedly, and then said, "Since ancient times, Penglai and Baiyu Jing have been one family. I..."
Guanhai raised an eyebrow, and Lu Zhen stopped speaking, sighing inwardly and not saying anything more.
The task assigned to him by his master was too difficult. Although Guanhai had a good relationship with him, it was impossible to complete the task.
"Lu Zhen, remember this: Penglai is Penglai, Baiyu Jing is Baiyu Jing. Don't confuse the two," Guanhai said lightly.
"Ah, why bother, old Daoist?" Lu Zhen sighed, no longer continuing, and changed the subject, "Who is in charge of Xuan Realm in Penglai?"
Guanhai glanced at him and said, "You don't need to worry about that."
Lu Zhen blinked his eyes and asked, "Could it be Qing Shuang Senior Sister?"
"No," Guanhai sneered.
Lu Zhen tried to probe further, but found that Guanhai was unresponsive, so he eventually left disappointed.
He came to Penglai not only because of his master's instructions, but also to see who the Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor dispatched by Penglai Xianzong this time.
If it was Qing Shuang Senior Sister, they could explore the Primordial Spirit State together.
Guanhai watched the place where Lu Zhen had been sitting earlier, sighed after a long time, and closed his eyes again.
Going back in time a bit, in the Xuan Realm.
After Han Li escaped from Leizhou Dingyuan Mansion, he took the Demon Queen and entered the Great Liang Dynasty, fearing pursuit.
Bai Keqing didn't say a word from beginning to end. When she saw this self-proclaimed Ye Fan, she was about to say something but was struck by Han Li's palm.
Han Li's palm landed on the back of her neck, sealing her cultivation, and then knocked her unconscious.
After doing all this, Han Li threw her into the system space. He drew a boundary to trap her before finally heaving a sigh of relief.
Forcing the Demon Queen into the system space required her consent, but Han Li didn't have the time to persuade her. Knocking her unconscious was the easiest way.
After wandering around the Great Liang Dynasty, Han Li quietly returned to the Great Qian Dynasty and went back to the Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain.
When the Demon Queen Bai Keqing woke up again, she found herself lying on a bed. Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly checked herself, finally feeling a little relieved.
She was still unharmed.
"Where am I?"
Bai Keqing wondered in her heart. She got out of bed and found herself in a gorgeously decorated bedroom. She walked out and opened the door, only to be greeted by a handsome face.
Bai Keqing's pupils contracted, her heart trembled, and she stopped in her tracks, feeling a little uneasy.
This Ye Fan, who had saved her from the hands of the two Great Vajras of the Buddhist Sect, didn't seem to be a good person either. He had treated her just like any other True Martial Realm expert, sealing her cultivation and knocking her unconscious.
She didn't know why Ye Fan had saved her. Bai Keqing knew that she didn't know this person, a peak True Martial Realm expert of the human race. She had no way to make friends with him.
She also didn't know how to escape. She had a sense of foreboding in her heart. Once she fell into this person's hands, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to escape.
If Ye Fan was sent by the Lord of the Demon Realm, Xue Yueqing, to save her, he wouldn't have severely injured her and sealed her cultivation.
Before she could think further, she noticed that Ye Fan was approaching her. Bai Keqing quickly retreated, but there was no more room to retreat, and she was forced against the wall by Han Li.
Seeing Han Li getting closer, smelling the masculine scent emanating from him, Bai Keqing frowned and couldn't help but rebuke, "Ye Fan, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? Of course, I want to see what kind of demon you are."
Bai Keqing sneered, revealing her wild and enchanting nature as she leaned forward and whispered in Han Li's ear, "So, have you figured it out? I am..."
Bai Keqing's warm breath blew onto Han Li's face. His eyebrows raised, and he directly embraced Bai Keqing, then lowered his head and sealed her seductive red lips.
After a long time, Han Li finally let her go and said lightly, "The taste of a snake demon is not bad, especially when you are a True Martial Realm Demon Queen."
Bai Keqing was furious. This person indeed had ulterior motives when he saved her. He had taken her first kiss like this.
"Damn it."
Bai Keqing cursed inwardly. Her cultivation was sealed, and she had no room to resist. Otherwise, she would have slapped him long ago if he dared to be so frivolous with her.
In the Demon Realm, she was the True Martial Realm Demon Queen, ruling over a vast territory. She was a queen who was high above all. Her reputation spread throughout the entire Demon Realm.
Even the Grandmasters at the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm had to bow respectfully and dare not show any disrespect when they saw her.
Now, she was seriously injured and lost her strength. Even her powerful demon body was sealed. She couldn't even struggle.
Facing a peak True Martial Realm powerhouse, let alone her cultivation being sealed, even if she was at her peak, she would still be at his mercy.
She just hoped that he wouldn't treat her as a furnace. Otherwise, she would rather die in the Jiao Saint's Secret Realm than see her cultivation being taken away by someone.
"Your name isn't Ye Fan, right?" Bai Keqing asked after thinking for a moment.
Han Li nodded. At this point, he had no intention of hiding it, so he said, "Han Li, and you?"
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Keqing still revealed her real name.
She was still wondering if there was a peak True Martial Realm expert named Han Li in the Profound Domain or even among the human race. Could this person be spouting nonsense with a straight face?
"No need to doubt, it's really me. You'll know in a couple of days."
Han Li smiled, waved his sleeve, and brought Bai Keqing to the peak of the Chengdao Peak. Lutian Xiang had already left. She had seen Bai Keqing when she was unconscious.
Leaving Bai Keqing aside, Han Li stood with his hands behind his back, enjoying the magnificent scenery of Chengsheng Mountain, with a faint smile on his face.
Finally, he had captured the Demon Queen Bai Keqing and fulfilled his wish. Indeed, persistence and effort paid off.
Bai Keqing came to his side, looked at the scenery of Chengsheng Mountain, and praised, "The scenery here is truly magnificent, not inferior to my own dojo."
"So, what is your purpose?"
Bai Keqing turned around and stared at Han Li, asking directly.
She could tell that Han Li had no intention of killing her, and saving her had another purpose, which piqued Bai Keqing's curiosity.
What exactly did Han Li want to do?
Was he using her as a cauldron to replenish his energy?
Or was he trying to subdue her as his subordinate?
Or did he want her to be his Dao companion?
Bai Keqing's thoughts were swirling, unable to guess Han Li's intentions. She also had no intention of bringing up the matter of Senior Snow Moon Qing, as this person was audacious and wouldn't fall for that.
After all, Han Li openly injured two True Martial stage Martial Kings from the Buddhist sect and two True Martial stage Martial Kings from the demonic sect. He even captured her, a True Martial stage Martial King of the demon race, and dared to say something like "let the female Bodhisattva come."
This was enough to show how domineering and confident this person was, unafraid of her threats.
Upon hearing this, Han Li also shifted his gaze to Bai Keqing, his eyes slightly burning.
Bai Keqing had a stunning and enchanting appearance, with a pair of naturally captivating narrow, light blue eyes that contained autumn water and were constantly mesmerizing.
Her gracefully curving figure was concealed by a light blue dress, and her mature and voluptuous body gave off a sense of imminent release. Her skin was as flawless as snow and jade, exuding a bewitching and wild charm mixed with sensuality.
She had long, light blue hair casually draped around her waist, falling vertically to her slender waist that could be held with just one hand.
Below that, the light blue dress split open to her thighs, revealing her long and fair legs, as well as her delicate jade feet.
"My purpose is simple. Marry into the Han family and become my Dao companion," Han Li said with a smile.
Bai Keqing raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on her stunningly beautiful face as she softly said, "Dao companion or cauldron?"
"Dao companion," Han Li said with certainty, pausing before adding, "The ninth Dao companion."
"The ninth?" The smile on Bai Keqing's face disappeared, and her expression turned cold.
"Han Li, are you joking?" she asked.
"I, a True Martial stage Demon King, will be your Dao companion, and I'll be the ninth? Are all your previous eight Dao companions also True Martial stage?"
Bai Keqing sneered a few times, her face full of displeasure.
If she were to be Han Li's only Dao companion, Bai Keqing could reluctantly accept it. Han Li had profound cultivation and was a peak True Martial stage powerhouse, only a step away from becoming a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor.
But if she were to be one of several Dao companions, Bai Keqing couldn't accept it. She didn't believe that Han Li's previous eight Dao companions were all True Martial stage, which was simply impossible. Having one would already be impressive enough.
She had never heard of a True Martial stage Martial King having eight True Martial stage Dao companions, not even among the Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors. Han Li couldn't possibly have them, otherwise he wouldn't be unknown and unheard of.
When she reached the True Martial stage, there was a Demon Emperor who invited her to become his second Dao companion, but Bai Keqing didn't agree.
With Senior Snow Moon Qing's protection, that Demon Emperor didn't dare to forcefully take her as his Dao companion, and Bai Keqing escaped unscathed.
"They are not True Martial stage Martial Kings," Han Li nodded calmly and said, "But none of that matters to me. Whether you accept it or not, you will have to accept it. Otherwise, I don't mind having another Demon King female slave."
"You..." Bai Keqing was furious, so angry that she couldn't speak.
Was it really okay to treat her, a True Martial stage Demon King, so lightly?
He even wanted to treat her as a female slave. It was too much!
After thinking about it, Bai Keqing decided to compromise and take a step back, gritting her teeth and saying, "Then I want to be the first."
Compared to being a female slave, being a Dao companion was better. Now that she had fallen into Han Li's hands without Senior Snow Moon Qing's protection, she had no choice.
"You have no choice," Han Li said.
"Outrageous." Bai Keqing gritted her silver teeth, her enchanting and beautiful face filled with anger.
She had already agreed to become one of the nine Dao companions, and now he wanted her to be the ninth?
She was a True Martial Realm cultivator, the lofty queen of the demon race. When had she ever been so submissive?
She didn't even care about being the second Dao companion of the Demon Emperor. Now that she agreed to be one of your nine Dao companions, you should be happy, but instead you belittle me like this?
Seeing Bai Keqing's angry expression, Han Li explained, "In my eyes, your status is the same, there is no distinction of size."
"I know that the cultivation of the demon race is slow. With your talent, it would probably take more than two hundred years to reach the Second Stage of the True Martial Realm, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Keqing felt somewhat relieved and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"You have a large number of elixirs that can enhance cultivation in the True Martial Realm. I want you to give them all to me to help me improve my cultivation," Han Li said.
Shaking his head, Han Li disappointed Bai Keqing, who then heard Han Li say, "I don't have any elixirs that can enhance cultivation in the True Martial Realm at the moment, but I do have a prescription."
"What I want to say is that I have a dual cultivation technique at the Immortal Scripture level. If we become Dao companions, you will greatly benefit from dual cultivation, and the time it takes for you to reach the peak of the True Martial Realm will be greatly reduced."
Of course, Han Li didn't have a dual cultivation technique at the Immortal Scripture level, but he had a system. The new version of the system had this function, and Han Li believed it was no worse than the Immortal Scripture.
He had already tested it on his wives and concubines such as Lu Tianxiang, Yun Miaoyi, Jiang Baiye, Qiu Yuexin, Liu Yuexin, and Li Mingmeng. The effect was very good, allowing them to make rapid progress in their cultivation.
In just over two months, the cultivation of his wives and concubines had improved significantly, with an average increase of one or two major realms. The lowest cultivation level now was the Vital Spirit Realm.
Gongsun Yue, Song Zhixuan, and Lin Yiwu, who were originally in the Vital Spirit Realm, were directly promoted to the late stage of the Soul Refining Realm.
Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Xue Qingyi, and Feng Ziyue, who were originally in the late stage of the Soul Refining Realm, were promoted to the early stage of the Empty Void Realm.
Chu Xianlin, who was in the mid-stage of the Empty Void Realm, was promoted to the late stage of the Empty Void Realm, and Lu Tianxiang, who was in the first stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, was promoted to the third stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.
The effect of the dual cultivation function was very significant, but Han Li also knew that the effect would decrease as they progressed. After all, as the cultivation of his wives and concubines increased, the amount of cultivation they could gain from each dual cultivation session would decrease.
Unless his cultivation broke through rapidly and reached a higher realm, he could continue to help his wives and concubines improve their cultivation.
An Immortal Scripture-level dual cultivation technique and a significant reduction in the time it takes to reach the peak of the True Martial Realm.
Upon hearing these two sentences, Bai Keqing looked up at Han Li and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Bai Keqing was somewhat tempted. If that were the case, she could reluctantly accept becoming Han Li's ninth Dao companion. After all, there was no distinction of size, so she wouldn't be treated unfairly.
Bai Keqing wanted to cultivate to the peak of the True Martial Realm and even break through to the Divine Origin Realm, which was the ultimate goal for every Martial King who reached the True Martial Realm.
However, she knew that without the right opportunities, it would be difficult for her to reach the peak of the True Martial Realm, let alone the Divine Origin Realm. It would take too long.
In the early stage of the True Martial Realm, it would take her hundreds of years to break through each realm. According to the experience of other demon kings, it would take thousands of years to break through a small realm in the middle stage of the True Martial Realm.
The transition from the sixth to the seventh stage of the True Martial Realm was a major hurdle that blocked the progress of seventy to eighty percent of Martial Kings in the True Martial Realm, preventing them from advancing to the late stage of the True Martial Realm.
If she continued like this, she would grow old in the future and it would be difficult for her to advance to the late stage of the True Martial Realm, let alone reach the peak of the True Martial Realm or become a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor.
If she could significantly reduce her cultivation time and quickly cultivate to the peak of the True Martial Realm, then the Divine Origin Realm would be within reach.
The human Divine Origin Realm could only live for five thousand years, but she could live for nearly twenty thousand years. She could become a demon emperor like Lord Xueyueqing, standing at the pinnacle of the entire Qian Primordial Spirit Continent.
"You need to verify it yourself," Han Li smiled and said.
He knew that no matter how much he said, Bai Keqing wouldn't believe it. She would only know the truth after she tried it herself.
"Do you dare to lift my cultivation seal?" Bai Keqing's face showed a seductive smile. She had already made up her mind.
"I can't," Han Li shook his head.
Bai Keqing was now an unstable factor, and he couldn't afford to lift her cultivation seal. If Bai Keqing did something foolish, it would be too late to regret it. Moreover, when he went to the Li Family, the formation in the Han Family couldn't stop her.
"Then what's the use of saying all this?" Bai Keqing stretched her waist and sneered.
With her cultivation sealed, even if dual cultivation had a great effect, she wouldn't be able to improve her cultivation. So what was the use of dual cultivation?
I was thoroughly kneaded by Han Li, and through dual cultivation, Han Li was able to enhance his cultivation while I suffered the consequences.
"I can let you experience it first, and then unseal your cultivation after a year, how about that?" Han Li said after thinking for a moment.
By using the effect of dual cultivation to entice Bai Keqing, after a year, Bai Keqing would have given birth to a child, and Han Li's cultivation would also further improve, officially possessing the battle power of the Divine Origin Realm.
Bai Keqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and smiled coquettishly at Han Li, saying, "Then come, let me experience it thoroughly. I hope you're not just all talk."
The Demoness Queen was truly different. She spoke so boldly, agreed so readily, and even took the initiative to ask for it.
"Then let's begin."
Han Li embraced Bai Keqing in his big hands and disappeared from the peak of Chengdao Peak.
He originally planned to dual cultivate with Bai Keqing after officially marrying her, but since Bai Keqing couldn't wait to experience the effect of dual cultivation, Han Li naturally wouldn't be polite anymore.
After returning to his own residence, Han Li set up a formation before unsealing Bai Keqing's cultivation. He also kindly helped her heal her injuries, as a heavily injured Demoness Queen might have weakened combat power.
After completing these tasks, Han Li began his journey to subdue the Demoness Queen.
Three days later, Han Li officially married, and a grand wedding ceremony was held, causing a stir throughout Yongchang Prefecture.
"Han Family Patriarch has married his fifth wife."
This news spread throughout Yongchang Prefecture and even to the surrounding prefectures, leaving countless cultivators in awe.
Countless cultivators discussed Han Li's bravery and were very curious about the origins of Han Family Patriarch's beautiful wives.
Since moving from Han Residence to Yongchang Prefecture's Chengsheng Mountain, there have already been five wedding ceremonies, but the identities and origins of the wives were never announced.
No forces in Yongchang Prefecture or even the original state expressed that Han Family Patriarch's wives came from their forces.
This made countless cultivators even more curious. Han Family Patriarch kept marrying, but the outside world had no idea who he was marrying.
Various forces only knew the identities and origins of Han Family Patriarch's concubines when he took them in, and they could see their true appearances. But when it came to Han Family Patriarch's wives, they were completely in the dark, knowing nothing.
Han Li naturally wouldn't explain these things. His five wives had different identities and origins, and with his current status, he couldn't reveal them, otherwise, it would cause big trouble.
The wedding ceremony was held as scheduled, and various forces in Yongchang Prefecture gave face and attended. Now that the situation in the Great Qian Dynasty had stabilized, they couldn't afford to offend Han Residence.
Han Residence's willingness to keep a low profile, staying in the remote and spiritually sparse Chengsheng Mountain without competing for territory or cultivation resources, was truly great.
In the past two to three years, the forces in Yongchang Prefecture had celebrated multiple times that Han Residence was so low-key. They looked at other prefectures and states, where the newly relocated forces clashed with the local forces, all for the sake of seizing territory and resources.
After the wedding ceremony, Han Li entered the bridal chamber and saw a different Demoness Queen Bai Keqing.
Bai Keqing changed out of her light blue dress and put on red makeup, adding a touch of elegance and tenderness to her originally enchanting and seductive appearance.
Especially in the past few days, with Han Li's hard work, Bai Keqing had completed her evolution and developed another kind of temperament.
This beautiful night was sleepless.
After the first dual cultivation, Bai Keqing's cultivation had grown significantly. She confirmed that what Han Li said was true, transforming directly from a Demoness Queen to a Valkyrie, clamoring to fight Han Li every day.
Due to certain considerations, Han Li did not seal Bai Keqing's physical body, so she still possessed formidable combat power.
After spending a few days living and cultivating together with Bai Keqing, Han Li finally managed to escape from her and hid in the Li Residence. He suspected that if this continued, he would really be drained by Bai Keqing.
Bai Keqing now also knew that Han Li's other identity was Li Feiyu, and she was somewhat surprised, changing her impression of Han Li.
This person was cunning and crafty, a lecherous person.
Although Han Li clearly had the cultivation of the peak of the True Martial Realm and was an unparalleled powerhouse, nearly invincible in the Profound Domain, he was so low-key, so lecherous, only revealing his cultivation at the Soul Refining Realm.
She also noticed that Han Li was truly lascivious, actually marrying and taking concubines under another identity, and the speed of his marriages was incredibly fast. Was he trying to bring all the beautiful female cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty into the Han Residence and Li Residence?
During a battle, Han Li learned from Bai Keqing that there was a Demon Emperor named Xue Yueqing. Bai Keqing realized that Han Li had caught the attention of Xue Yueqing, which amazed her at Han Li's audacity.
Great Qian Imperial City, Li Residence.
Han Li stood on the top of Chongxiao Tower, with his hands behind his back, looking towards the direction of the palace.
He was considering whether to infiltrate the palace now and eliminate Chu Dingqian, and then obtain the Soul Nurturing Furnace.
Thinking about it, Han Li used his powerful spiritual power to conceal his aura and quietly entered the palace without being noticed.
Out of caution, Han Li did not use his spiritual sense, but relied on his own spiritual power to sense as he walked through the palace, passing by palace maids and guards, but no one could detect him.
After wandering around, Han Li arrived at the harem and found the empress who was dressing up, his eyes brightening.
He walked behind the empress and observed her carefully. The empress was still focused on her makeup, and even with her cultivation in the Empty Void Realm, she did not notice Han Li's presence.
Sighing inwardly, Han Li's figure disappeared from the empress's chamber and he continued his search.
After a while, Han Li finally found the place where Chu Dingqian was in seclusion. It was a forbidden area in the palace, filled with a powerful array formation.
Even though the array formation was hidden, Han Li still sensed it. It was definitely a top-grade third-grade formation, and even a late-stage True Martial Realm cultivator might overlook it.
Han Li was almost certain that Chu Dingqian was inside. He had been to other places in the palace, and only this place had a top-grade third-grade formation.
If Chu Dingqian was planning to be reborn, he would need a safe place where no one could disturb him, and this was the best choice.
"What a pity."
Han Li muttered to himself and disappeared, choosing not to forcefully attack and kill Chu Dingqian.
Although he had the strength to do so, it was unnecessary and would trigger the formation, causing a great commotion, which was not what he intended.
So Han Li decided to wait for his cultivation to further advance, to reach the Divine Origin Realm and possess the strength of a Martial Emperor, before coming to kill Chu Dingqian.
He was not in a hurry anyway, as Chu Dingqian couldn't be reborn anytime soon. Han Li had time to wait.
After Han Li left, Chu Dingqian woke up in the main hall of the forbidden area in the palace. He had sensed a faint malicious intent, as if someone was targeting him, which made Chu Dingqian extremely vigilant.
His powerful spiritual sense spread out, searching the forbidden area, the entire palace, and even the entire capital city, focusing on the Li Mansion.
Chu Dingqian suspected that the malicious intent came from Li Feiyu, but he found no evidence and relaxed, thinking that he was being overly suspicious.
Li Feiyu didn't know his situation, so how could he sneak into the palace to assassinate him?
Moreover, Chu Dingqian possessed the Soul Nurturing Furnace and was stronger than Li Feiyu. If it was really Li Feiyu, it would be easy to kill him directly.
But if it was another powerful cultivator, like Ye Fan who suddenly appeared and injured four late-stage True Martial Realm experts from the two major holy lands, he was a peak True Martial Realm powerhouse. Even with the Soul Nurturing Furnace in hand, Chu Dingqian would not be able to resist.
"I hope I'm just overthinking."
Chu Dingqian murmured to himself and returned to meditating before the Soul Nurturing Furnace.
He had originally wanted to leave this place, but hesitated and decided not to. If the palace was not safe, then the outside world would be even more dangerous.
Cultivating the demonic fetus would take a long time, and he would occasionally wake up to deal with matters in the Great Qian Dynasty. If there were really other powerful cultivators trying to deal with him, the capital city of the Great Qian Dynasty was the safest place. At least Li Feiyu was still there and could help him.
In the Li Mansion, Chongxiao Tower.
Han Li continued to look towards the palace, but not at the location where Chu Dingqian was. Occasionally, a beautiful figure would appear in his mind.
"What a pity."
Han Li sighed.
Such a good person, how did she become the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty?
She was the empress of the Qian Emperor, which made Han Li somewhat cautious. It was not easy to take action lightly, as it could easily cause a backlash from the Great Qian Dynasty.
If the Great Qian Dynasty fell into chaos again, it would not be beneficial to the development of the Han Mansion and the Li Mansion, which went against his original intention.
With a sigh, Han Li's figure disappeared from Chongxiao Tower and appeared next to Chu Xianlin, engaging in an intimate conversation with her.
Then Chu Xianlin directly expressed her desire to cultivate with Han Li. After a period of cultivation with her husband, her cultivation soared, breaking through to the late stage of the Empty Void Realm, which made Chu Xianlin very happy.
Chu Xianlin wished that her husband could cultivate with her every day, so that she could quickly advance to the Myriad Manifestations Realm and become a grandmaster. In the future, she could even reach the True Martial Realm.
Unfortunately, her husband had more than just one wife. Not only did he have four wives, but he also had over forty concubines. Even if she wanted to cultivate together with him, she couldn't. Her husband said he wanted to treat everyone equally.
Three months later.
Han Li stood at the peak of Chengdao Peak, his face full of smiles. Even his breath felt refreshing and clear.
In these three months, he had indulged in pleasure every night, constantly battling and even reversing day and night. But the results were satisfying.
The cultivation of the wives and concubines of the Han and Li families had once again improved significantly. Those with higher cultivation had advanced by one or two small realms, while those with lower cultivation had advanced by several small realms. Their cultivation had made great progress.
In these three months, Han Li had also opened three treasure chests, spending a total of fifteen years of cultivation. His luck was not bad.
The first treasure chest contained a Heaven Grade top-grade magic treasure, the second treasure chest contained a Heaven Grade middle-grade technique, and the third treasure chest contained a second-grade spirit pill, the "True Martial Pill."
The True Martial Pill corresponded to the Divine Origin Realm, but it was not meant for Martial Emperors in the Divine Origin Realm, nor was it meant for True Martial Realm Martial Kings. It was prepared for those peak Grandmasters in the Myriad Manifestations Realm.
After taking a True Martial Pill, the probability of advancing to the True Martial Realm would increase by more than fifty percent. It also helped improve the quality of the condensed Martial Dao True Pills, increasing them by one to three grades.
It could be said that the effect of the True Martial Pill was extremely heaven-defying, directly creating a True Martial Realm Martial King.
When Han Li obtained the True Martial Pill, he had already decided who to give it to.
Apart from this, Han Li was most delighted that his aptitude had been promoted from fourth-grade to third-grade.
In these three months, many children were born in the Han and Li families. The number of new additions was about the same, but the quality in the Li family was countless times higher.
In the Han family, there were twenty-nine births, but only nine had cultivation aptitude, and their aptitude was not high. This had slightly improved Han Li's aptitude.
In the Li family, the first batch of concubines he had taken in had all given birth. There were a total of twenty-seven, all of whom had aptitude, just as he had expected, ranging from fifth to sixth grade.
This provided Han Li with a large amount of aptitude feedback, directly promoting his aptitude to third-grade.
Smiling, Han Li opened the system panel and took a look.
Aptitude: Third-grade 4%
After advancing to third-grade aptitude, the resistance from the aptitude feedback of those with fifth to sixth-grade aptitude greatly decreased. Otherwise, there would have been even more.
But Han Li was not in a hurry. His four beautiful wives in the Li family, Xue Qingyi, Chu Xianlin, Song Zhixuan, and Feng Ziyue, would all give birth one after another in the next six months, bringing him a lot of aptitude.
In the Han family, Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Gong Sunyue, these four beautiful wives, were pregnant again. In eight months, they would give birth.
After seeing how dual cultivation could rapidly increase their cultivation, they no longer rejected the idea of having children.
Bai Keqing, the female demon king who had married into the family three months ago, had also been pregnant for a long time. In seven months, she would give birth. This child would most likely have third-grade aptitude and bring Han Li a large amount of aptitude feedback.
Previously, the number of his aptitude descendants had reached 377. In these three months, there were 36 new additions, directly reaching the standard for a new round of rewards.
Han Li glanced at the message panel, and the last system prompt appeared before his eyes.
"You have reached 400 descendants with cultivation aptitude. You gain 100 years of cultivation, five fifth-grade longevity pills, 100 years of inscription experience, and a Heaven Grade lower-grade martial technique, 'Meteor Sword Art.'"
After absorbing the 100 years of inscription experience, Han Li's attainments in inscription techniques reached the fifth grade, and even among the fifth grade, he was considered average.
With the support of the embryonic form of the All-Purpose Martial Dao, the Meteor Sword Art was comparable to a top-grade Heaven Grade martial technique. Just like the Six Harmonies Eight Extremes Fist and the Floating Prison Seal, it could unleash the peak combat power of the True Martial Realm.
With this 100 years of cultivation, Han Li's accumulated cultivation had made a significant breakthrough, reaching 542 years. This was enough to allow him to break through many small realms.
After all, he now had third-grade aptitude, so the cultivation he needed to consume was halved, although it still required a lot compared to before.
"Hoo~"
Finally, Han Li took a last look at the magnificent sea of clouds and exhaled a breath of air, disappearing from the peak of Chengdao Peak.
He arrived at his own sleeping quarters and quickly set up a formation, then sat cross-legged at the center of the formation.
A smile appeared on Han Li's face. He was about to break through.
When he had a thought, his aura instantly began to surge.
