Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Jingqing Mountain.

This mountain rose abruptly from the ground, grand and imposing, stretching for hundreds of miles. The main peak was especially majestic, reaching 3,000 meters into the clouds, surrounded by over a dozen subsidiary peaks of three to five kilometers. It resembled a congregation of stars circling the moon.

Gazing at this great mountain, a smile appeared on Han Li’s face. His spiritual sense took in the entirety of Jingqing Mountain, leaving no stone unturned, and found that this place was truly remarkable.

The mountain range stretched from east to west for more than 700 miles, and was over 200 miles wide from north to south. Within a hundred miles, three large rivers meandered and converged here, creating a tapestry of rivers and mountains of striking beauty.

Jingqing Mountain, with its splendid scenery and perilous terrain, was famous in the Mortal World. Many scholars and literati had discussed the landscape here, leaving behind numerous steles and stone inscriptions that became widely known.

Typically, such famous mountains and rivers are most suitable for establishing Sect grounds due to the spirit veins beneath them and the very rich spiritual energy. However, Jingqing Mountain’s spiritual energy was exceptionally sparse.

If the concentration of spiritual energy in the various manors of Yuanzhou were to be quantified, an average manor would have a concentration of 100 points, suitable for God Refining Realm and below for cultivation; the better ones would be between 150-200, where Dongxu Stage Forces would settle; and if a manor had over 300 points, the Ten Major Sects would all take interest in it.

Yonchang Manor was one of those places with thin spiritual energy, having a concentration between 50-70 points. For a real person in the God Refining Realm, staying here would be uncomfortable, as drawing a breath here brought little spiritual energy, greatly affecting their cultivation speed.

Even more sparse was the spiritual energy in Jingqing Mountain, with a concentration of about 20 points. No cultivator wanted to stay here—why not cultivate in places where the spiritual energy was rich?

In a place rich with spiritual energy, the chances of giving birth to a cultivator increased, and the speed of cultivation would be much faster. All forces enjoyed territories with abundant spiritual energy, but only those with strength could occupy such places.

The average force had a Spirit Gathering Array, which could increase the concentration of spiritual energy in their Sect grounds. The stronger the force, the higher the grade of Spirit Gathering Array they could use, allowing them to elevate the spiritual energy concentration to even higher levels.

With no force having claimed Jingqing Mountain, setting up a Spirit Gathering Array here would be a waste, as the effects of setting one up elsewhere could be several times greater.

Spirit Gathering Arrays were very expensive, okay? Even a Ninth Grade Spirit Gathering Array would cost five hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

Han Li didn’t mind at all. He was a top-tier Seventh Grade Formation master himself, able to set up a Seventh Grade Spirit Gathering Array, which was sufficient for the Han Family’s use for now. As his mastery in formations improved, he could set up even higher-grade arrays, or even go out and purchase a higher-grade Spirit Gathering Array if needed.

He was quite fond of the landscape of Jingqing Mountain, and after setting up a Spirit Gathering Array, it would be more than sufficient for the Han Family’s use. The Han Family occupying this place would be welcomed by all parties, and they would not face incessant troubles in the future. Han Li also wanted to develop quietly for some time.

Although his combat ability in the True Martial Realm was very strong, he wanted to become stronger. He also needed time to develop his family, to nurture the next generation. In a few decades, the Han Family would become an immense power.

Calling over his capable descendants, Han Li gave a few instructions, ordering them to start establishing the family at Jingqing Mountain immediately and to construct various buildings. These tasks must be done well.

Looking at the dozens of wives and concubines around him, Han Li smiled and said, “Come, let me take you to enjoy the view.”

Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and the other women were immediately intrigued. This would be their future home, and they truly wanted to take a good look at it, having long heard of the unique scenery of Jingqing Mountain.

With their husband leading them, they could fly to the heavens and look down upon Jingqing Mountain, taking in all its beauty.

Han Li waved his sleeve, and Gang Yuan surged forth, lifting all his wives and concubines into the sky above Jingqing Mountain.

“Wow-I’

“It’s so beautiful!”

“It’s truly magnificent-

“Eight words to describe it: Majestic and bold, serene and graceful.”

Li Mingmeng, Liu Yuexin, Zhang Yuyan, and other beautiful consorts stood in the sky, overlooking Jingqing Mountain, all stunned by the scenic splendor, each expressing their amazement.

From their perspective, they could overlook the entire Jingqing Mountain. They were Innate Realm and Pihai Realm cultivators, after all, and their senses far surpassed those of ordinary people.

“The beauty of sights like the stone coves with the sound of pines and the sea of clouds like jade plates is truly enchanting,” Lu Tianxiang couldn’t help but comment.

She had originally thought the scenery at Er Sea of Cang Mountain, which she occupied, was very good, but in comparison, it still fell short by quite a lot. The only real downside was the extremely sparse spiritual energy.

Such magnificent mountains and rivers could only attract the literati of the Mortal World, and had no appeal to cultivators.

“Is that the Triple Pool Mirroring the Moon? It’s so beautiful. I’ve heard that in winter, you can witness the spectacle of ‘ice halos’ and frosty mist.” Chu Yumeng exclaimed in amazement.

Han Li nodded with a smile, especially satisfied with the domain he had chosen. He wouldn’t grow tired of it, even if he spent every day here.

It was clear that Jingqing Mountain had the main peak as a watershed, with a multitude of rivers and streams to the south and north, flowing into the surrounding three raging rivers.

The terrain of Jingqing Mountain was steep, with short and swift rivers eroding many faults, forming numerous cascades and waterfalls. The valley’s bedrock was often pockmarked by the flowing water, creating pools and alternating with waterfalls.

From the mountain top to the foothills, springs and streams were abundant, with long and high mountains and hundreds of miles of mountains dotted with gurgling springs, quiet and serene.

The mountain boasted majestic, magnificent, rugged, and perilous natural landscapes, leaving Han Li in awe.

“With such beautiful scenery, why is the spiritual energy so sparse here?” Lin Yiwu asked with a slight frown, puzzled.

Qiu Yueyao, Zhang Lan, Li Mingmeng, and the other women all shared their opinions, contributing to a multitude of different views.

Han Li just smiled and remained silent. One of the reasons he chose this place was precisely because of its sparse spiritual energy..
