Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Even without cultivating, Yao Xi’s Divine Spirit was now comparable to many Gurus in the Hollow Void Stage, and Han Li took careful notice.

Now, it was finally time to reap the benefits.

“Mhm~” Yao Xi nodded vigorously, gazing into the eyes of her beloved.

Her radiant, pale face blushed beautifully, catching Han Li completely off guard and rendering him speechless.

With hundreds of beautiful wives and concubines, he had seen women of all sorts of beauty, but facing this version of Yao Xi, he was still defenseless.

“Then brother shall marry you now,” he said.

As the words fell, Han Li leaned in, this time taking the initiative, and his hand could not help but move.

The two, on Chengdao Peak’s summit, were utterly absorbed in each other, whispering sweet nothings and enjoying their own little world.

Yao Xi was unaware that many people on Chengdao Peak had witnessed this scene, such as Long Yue, Bai Keqing, Lu Tianxiang, and others. Han Li knew, but he didn’t care.

“Yao Xi has finally achieved true fruition,” remarked Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yue, and the other beautiful wives of Han Li, smiles blooming on their faces.

They had long since treated Yao Xi as a younger sister and were relieved to see her success, having looked forward to this moment for a long time. They would even discuss when their husband would finally take little sister Yao Xi as his bride.

Three days later, the Patriarch of the Han Family took another wife!

This news spread through Yonchang Manor at lightning speed, sending a ripple of shock through all the major powers, with wry smiles appearing on the faces of their leaders.

Was the old Han Patriarch back to his old ways?

It had been six full years since the Han Family Patriarch last took a wife, and they all thought that he had changed his ways.

So when the Han Family Patriarch took a wife two months ago, various powers enthusiastically participated, offering various precious gifts to congratulate him.

Everyone thought the Han Family Patriarch would wait another six years to marry his next wife, but to their bewilderment and chagrin, it had been only two months before he took another. This left them laughing and crying at the same time.

If things continued this way, would the Han Family Patriarch end up marrying a new wife every two months?

The leaders of the powers were inwardly tormented; it was acceptable to offer ordinary gifts for the Han Patriarch’s concubinage, but marriage required precious gifts. Frequent marriages could drain their treasuries.

Yet they could not simply refrain; failing to offer gifts, or offering meager ones, would certainly provoke the resentment of the Han Family Patriarch.

Despite their internal grievances, the leaders of these powers dutifully brought their gifts to Chengsheng Mountain to partake in the grand wedding celebration of the Han Family Patriarch.

They would rather appease the Han Mansion with some resources than anger it, lest the Han Mansion emerge from its comfort zone to contest with them over cultivation resources and territories in Yonchang Manor—with which they could not compete.

The grand wedding took place as scheduled, a lively and bustling affair.

On the wedding night, an elated Han Li entered the bridal chamber to find a stunning beauty seated on the bed, his breathing turning rapid.

Suddenly, the sound of thunder came from outside the window, “rumbling” incessantly, as if rain was imminent.

Dark clouds filled the sky, concealing the heavens and earth like the broad, heavy body of a man, as though a black cloud was about to crush the city—a foreboding feeling.

On the earth below, plants thrived, ancient trees towered, and tender leaves drifted in the wind, like the alluring hands of a beautiful girl waving erratically.

The tender leaves, battered by the violent storm, swayed uncertainly, a will to resist the oppressive dark clouds overhead and restore light to the world—yet they failed.

Finally, with a series of urgent peals of thunder, the dark clouds had fully gathered, and suddenly heavy rain poured down, drenching everything.

Bathed in the nourishing rain, the vegetation seemed even more delicate, and the tender leaves swayed once more, as if echoing the roaring thunder.

Rain fell on Chengsheng Mountain, and far away in Qianyuan Divine Province, beyond the reach of time and space, rain also began to fall—a rain that seemed to transcend time itself.

In the Yuankun Domain, Kunji Divine Province.

The vast Yuankun Domain, with endless lands, once had a history of such splendor and dominance that it overshadowed the heavens, gazing down upon myriad worlds, making legions of species and spirits bow in homage.

Qianyuan Divine Province was located southwest of the Yuankun Domain, while Kunji Divine Province was directly east of the Qianyuan Divine Province. Unlike the declining Qianyuan Divine Province, Kunji Divine Province remained powerful.

In Kunji Divine Province there lay an imperial empire, called Huangyue Imperial Empire. It once governed the Nine Great Divine Provinces in ancient times. Legend has it that the empire was founded by a female phoenix emperor who eventually transcended tribulations to become a Heavenly Immortal, overseeing the mortal realm.

The ancient catastrophe came, and the Endless Yuankun Domain plunged into turmoil. Saints and Great Holy Land Schools, Imperial Empires, and the Eternal Clan’s True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Great Emperors all perished, including those of the Huangyue Imperial Empire.

After the ancient catastrophe, the Eight Hundred Divine Regions fell into great chaos. Saints and Great Holy Land Schools, Imperial Empires, and the Eternal Clan’s emperors and greater combatants all died, and even divine weapons and immortal weapons were shattered in large numbers, providing the Saint Abyss Realm Power an opportunity to ignite endless killings and warfare.

Heaven’s murderous intent moved the stars; Earth’s murderous intent incited dragons and serpents to rise; Human’s murderous intent overturned heaven and earth.

In the ensuing unrest and chaos, powers of the Yuankun Domain fell one by one, be they Divine Yuan Realm War Emperors, Tongxuan Realm experts, or even the Saints of the Saint Abyss Realm.

In this fierce struggle, some Great Holy Land Schools, Imperial Empires, and Eternal Clans were destroyed, while some Tongxuan Realm powers and Saint Abyss Realm powers rose and took their place.
