Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Han Li stood atop Chengdao Peak, overlooking the entire Chengsheng Mountain, taking in the full view of Han Mansion.

All the mountains planned before now served a purpose, and Han Li once again allocated several peaks, expanding the activity area for the Han Mansion’s disciples.

On Yandao Peak stood the fighting tower. On Yangdao Peak was the Life-Prolonging Furnace. On Enlightenment Peak were the Enlightenment Stone and the Time-Sky Tower. Zaidao Peak housed the Nine Tribulations Sacred Lotus, Three Netherworld Grass, and the Mystical Beast Kui Bull, which might later become an area for cultivating precious medicinal fields.

Chengdao Peak was the living area for Han Li and his cherished wives and concubines. Yundao Peak held the main hall where all sorts of assemblies were convened. Xiu Dao Peak had various pavilions, designated for Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, and Formation areas, with Guest Elders skilled in the Four Arts of Cultivation concentrated there.

In addition, there were Hudao Peak and Dengdao Peak.

Han Li planned Hudao Peak to be the area for the Han Mansion’s protectors. Currently, it was only inhabited by Hollow Void Stage, God Refining Realm, and Gangyuan Realm protectors; as he revealed more of his power, Han Li would continue to recruit stronger protectors.

Currently, those Hollow Void Stage and God Refining Realm protectors were secretly recruited by Han Li. The protectors also had different ranks, based on their cultivation level and their contributions.

Dengdao Peak was designated as the residential area for those Han Mansion descendants earmarked for key cultivation. In the future, once The Li Manor merged, many descendants from The Li Manor would also move to Dengdao Peak, which symbolized their status.

As for the other descendants and all servants and maids, they lived in the vast foothills and mid-mountain areas, etc., where a large number of buildings had been constructed.

Only certain personal maids could live on each main peak and sub-peak, holding a higher status within Han Mansion.

In the future, Han Li also intended to plan out Cangdao Peak to house Han Mansion’s scriptoreum, which was currently placed on Yundao Peak.

Han Li was waiting—for the emergence of new space-related Divine Weapons or Emperor Weapons. Then, he would be able to categorize all of Han Mansion’s cultivation techniques, martial arts, secret techniques, and various historical records and observations into different classes.

Supreme Grade Divine Weapons and above all have complete Artifact Spirits to manage the scriptoreum, so there wouldn’t be a need for Han Li to worry too much. There would be no issues of loss or theft, as everything was under the supervision of the Artifact Spirit.

The Artifact Spirit could also check the entrant’s authority, deciding whether to allow them access to higher floors, monitoring their activities within, exchanging their contributions for learning more cultivation techniques and martial arts.

Han Li saw a large gathering of Han Mansion’s people on Yandao Peak, including his descendants and the Han Mansion’s Guest Elders and protectors. They were engaged in lively discussions, all eyes on the imposing forty-story Emperor Tower.

Inside the fighting tower, a descendant of the Han Mansion was attempting to break through the levels, while those outside were discussing how far the person inside could go.

On the other side of the fighting tower stood a giant stele, smooth as jade and a hundred zhang high, bearing the names recorded on it. This was a ranking list created by Han Li, kept up-to-date in real-time by the fighting tower’s Artifact Spirit.

The stele had two leaderboards. The first was visible to everyone and recorded the performances of Han Mansion’s descendants, protectors, Guest Elders, and so on.

The second leaderboard recorded the performances of Han Li’s cherished wives and concubines; it was hidden on regular days and required special permission to be accessed.

Those who made it onto the first leaderboard and showed immense potential, such as clearing the fourth level of each realm, would have their names prominently marked, catching everyone’s attention.

Han Li was trying various methods to motivate the Han Mansion’s descendants to diligently cultivate. Only when the descendants grew stronger could they provide more cultivation energy to him and become talents capable of standing on their own.

At present, the descendant’s growth time was too short, or rather, Han Li’s growth was too rapid, so much so that his descendants couldn’t keep up and seemed rather insignificant.

Han Li was aware of these circumstances and was making great efforts to improve the situation. The Life-Prolonging Furnace, Time-Sky Tower, and the fighting tower, alongside the prioritized cultivation lists and core cultivation lists, were all created for this purpose.

Once the Xuan Domain incident was over, his power would advance further. Then he would reveal his True Martial Realm combat ability to the public and start to settle and develop further.

After a decade or two, or perhaps even longer, these descendants of Han Mansion should be able to grow up. After all, he had provided such excellent cultivation conditions, Han Li felt it was not inferior to those Sacred Lands.

There were too many disciples in the Sacred Lands with fierce competition—how could their privileges be better than those given to the Han Mansion descendants?

Thinking of the Xuan Domain incident, Han Li suddenly sighed. Even he had to participate in this matter, of course by going incognito. When the time came, he would use this alias to support his true self.

The Xuan Domain incident had significant implications; if mishandled, it could affect the entire Qianyuan Divine Province and trigger a major catastrophe, disrupting his peaceful life.

This was something Han Li didn’t wish to see; he preferred a life where everyone was amicable. The atmosphere in the Dao Domain was what Han Li liked.

However, Han Mansion couldn’t just move to the Dao Domain. Developing under the watchful eyes of Bai Yujing wasn’t very favorable, and his frequent marrying and taking of concubines would draw too much attention in the Dao Domain.

The cultivators of the Dao Domain might criticize and cause an uproar, with some self-righteous cultivators even coming to his doorstep to cause trouble.

Defeating a small one would bring a bigger one, defeating a big one would bring an elder, and defeating an elder would bring an even older one. Continuing this way would inevitably involve Bai Yujing, after all, Bai Yujing is the ancestral home of the Dao Sect, and many cultivators in the Dao Domain had connections to Bai Yujing.

The Human Clan had four great Sacred Lands: Bai Yujing, Xumi Mountain, Heavenly Demon Hall, and the House of Divine Armies, among which Bai Yujing was the strongest, with Xumi Mountain and Heavenly Demon Hall being somewhat similar.
