Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

His accumulated cultivation had reached 345 years, the total number of his offspring had reached 1042, and among these, 377 had aptitude; he was not far from receiving his next reward.

The additional nineteen offspring with aptitude had further improved Han Li’s own aptitude, reaching 87% at Fourth Grade and very close to advancing to Third Grade.

No offspring with Fourth Grade aptitude or higher would be born in Han Mansion for the next half year, but there were quite a few in The Li Manor. In the coming year, the four wives of The Li Manor: Xue Qingyi, Chu Xianlin, Song Zhixuan, and Feng Ziyue, would all give birth to offspring.

In the next one to three months, most of the concubines in The Li Manor would also give birth to offspring, and their aptitudes were not low, so the aptitudes of the children born would not be bad either.

By then, Han Li’s aptitude would directly advance to Third Grade; however, further improvement would become difficult, as the birth of offspring with Fifth or Sixth Grade aptitude brought too little feedback to aptitude.

Even offspring with Fourth Grade aptitude could only increase it by 5%, while the birth of Third Grade aptitude offspring could contribute 10% to the progress of Han Li’s aptitude.

“Luckily, the female Demon King is about to be captured,” Han Li thought, a smile appearing on his face.

The female Demon King had at least Third Grade aptitude, and possibly even Second Grade; the specific aptitude could only be checked after her capture.

Although they shared the same aptitude, members of the Demon Clan cultivated more slowly than those of the Human Clan, but their lifespans were three to four times longer.

To be able to cultivate to the True Martial Realm, the female Demon King was probably at least a thousand years old, and might even be three thousand.

A demon of the Myriad Phenomena Realm had a lifespan of three to four thousand years, while those in the True Martial Realm had lifespans that exceeded ten thousand years, longer than even the great experts of the Human Clan in the Tongxuan Realm.

“I hope not,” Han Li sighed.

Otherwise, it really would be, ‘the older the woman, the closer to ascent among immortals.’

The vast East Sea roared with surging waves, towering crests rising and falling, home to countless creatures.

A mighty whale, stretching ten thousand meters long, swam past, emitting a powerful aura that caused the complexions of cultivators passing through this part of the sea to change dramatically, hastening away at once.

At the bottom of a certain part of the East Sea, there was an ocean trench exceeding fifty thousand miles in depth. The whale, with its ten thousand-meter-long body, seemed like a tiny shrimp within the trench.

When it reached the deepest part of the trench, the whale’s body shone with divine light, transforming into a middle-aged man dressed in a whale battle suit, exuding the aura of a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Here lay a Crystal Palace, sprawling and luxurious, with a signboard bearing two large characters: Dragon Palace!

The middle-aged man glanced at the signboard, sighed in his heart, entered the palace, and upon reaching the inner depths, he made a courteous bow and said:

“My lord, I have brought back what you requested.”

With that, the middle-aged man took out some items from his Spatial Bracelet and placed them in midair.

In the depths of the Dragon Palace, there was a magnificent throne upon which sat a woman in a light-colored dress, the absolute beauty, Long Yue.

At his words, Long Yue’s bright eyes opened; after one glance to confirm everything was correct, the items automatically flew towards her and were collected.

“You’ve done well,” said Long Yue in an indifferent tone.

“My lord, about my…” began the middle-aged man, speaking cautiously.

“Away with you, the prohibition will lift automatically in three months,” Long Yue said indifferently.

The middle-aged man hesitated then decided not to press the Dragon Lady for immediate removal of the Divine Spirit prohibition, fearing that his impatience might earn him her deadly ire.

It was only a long while after the middle-aged man had left that Long Yue stood up, her gaze turning towards the Divine Continent, a glint flashing in her eyes.

“Is the Secret Territory about to emerge?” Long Yue murmured to herself.

Two years earlier, she’d opened the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, suppressed a multitude of True Martial Realm Emperors, and retrieved her Dragon Ball.

Upon exiting the Secret Territory, she was ambushed by three mid-stage True Martial Realm Emperors, but Long Yue unleashed her divine might, injuring them too before escaping because she sensed a late-stage True Martial Realm expert watching. She did not continue the slaughter, choosing to leave directly instead.

As she left the Xuan Domain and was planning to pass through the Chaotic Domain to the East Sea, she was attacked yet again.

This time, her assailant was a late-stage True Martial Realm Emperor, extremely powerful, but he underestimated the Dragon Lady’s strength and was killed by her.

Although Long Yue was only in the Sixth Heaven of the True Martial Realm at the time and did not possess a Divine Weapon, her past life as the Sacred Dragon meant that even under numerous restrictions, her combat ability was extraordinary, capable of contending with an Eighth Heaven Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm.

The Emperor Wu who attacked her was also of the Eighth Heaven, wielding a Supreme Grade Heaven Rank Divine Weapon, but was still destroyed by Long Yue. The Secret Techniques she wielded could not be compared with mere True Martial Realm methods.

After eliminating her assailant, Long Yue did not delay, concerned that a Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperor might take action. She immediately fled at top speed, diving into the East Sea.

Once inside the East Sea, Long Yue found a Daoist sacred ground left by a powerful being of the ancient Jiao Clan, now occupied by a Myriad Phenomena Realm mighty whale.

She overpowered it with a direct attack, established a Divine Spirit prohibition, and coerced it into doing her bidding, threatening to kill it otherwise.

After the Myriad Phenomena Realm mighty whale had gone, Long Yue renamed the Daoist sacred ground the Dragon Palace and laid several layers of Second Grade grand formations. Even if a Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperor were to attack, it could not be breached.

Having cultivated in the Dragon Palace for two years, with the aid of her past life’s Dragon Ball, Long Yue’s strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. She had now reached the Sixth Heaven of the True Martial Realm, and was rapidly approaching the later stages.

As her realm increased, her combat ability also improved. Today, she possessed the combat ability of a top-tier pinnacle True Martial Realm.
