Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

When five years of cultivation were consumed, a bright flash of golden light passed, and an item of treasure appeared on the virtual panel in front of Han Li.

“Ding~ Treasure box successfully opened, congratulations to the master for obtaining the Emperor Rank High Grade Treasure [Immortal Sky Concealing Formation Array Diagrams]!”

Han Li’s eyes lit up, his movements quickened involuntarily, as he imparted numerous profound principles to Long Yue.

He had obtained another Emperor Rank High Grade Treasure!

Although it was not the Creation Stone he desired, a treasure of birth talent, this set of Array Diagrams was also urgently needed, and one might even argue that it was more necessary than the former two.

Emperor Rank High Grade, that was on the level of the Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor. With the Immortal Sky Concealing Formation’s Array Diagrams, it seemed he would no longer have to worry about envoys sent from Empress Huanyue or Empress Yuanchu.

As long as he threw out the Array Diagrams, the Immortal Sky Concealing Formation would instantly be laid out, and a peerless Emperor Formation of the Heaven Imperial Realm level would be completed in an extremely short time.

Once the formation was complete, it could conceal the secrets of heaven, confuse time and space, disrupt fate, and shield causality. Whatever happened inside would remain unknown to the outside world, and even if a Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor personally divined it, no useful information could be gleaned.

This Grand Formation could also manifest twelve Immortal Demons, each at the peak of Quasi Emperor, who, in combination with the formation, could unleash the combat prowess of the early stages of the Heaven Imperial Realm.

After understanding the might of the Immortal Sky Concealing Formation, Han Li was thoroughly satisfied; it was to be one of his most powerful trump cards.

The advantage of Array Diagrams is that they can bypass the complicated process of setting up the formation, allowing it to be completed in just one step and in a very short time, and they can be used many times over.

However, the cost of producing Array Diagrams is very high. For example, the various materials consumed in setting up an Emperor Rank High Grade Great Formation amount to ten thousand units of Spirit Source, then to create such an Emperor Rank Great Formation into an Array Diagram, at least a hundred thousand units of Spirit Source would be required.

Three days later, at the summit of Chengdao Peak.

Han Li sat cross-legged, sipped the morning dew, and swallowed the first strand of purple qi between heaven and earth.

After that, Han Li contemplated deeply and decided to take a tour of the outside world.

In his weaker years, he often said that without even reaching the True Martial Realm, one mustn’t venture out recklessly; not to leave the mountain until reaching the Divine Yuan Realm…

Now that he had become a Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperor, with combat capability surpassing most of the Tongxuan Realm powerhouses, and in possession of two Supreme Grade Emperor Weapons and an Array Diagram of a Top Grade Emperor Formation, he was more than ready to traverse Qianyuan Divine Province with ease.

Han Li felt that it was time for him to venture out as well.

The Xuan Domain was so vast, and he had not properly explored it, it was definitely not because the ancestors were going out to select high-quality female cultivators!!!

Han Li waved his hand, and the Void Bell and Time-Sky Tower flew over, each shrinking in size, one hanging from his left wrist, the other from his right.

The Array Diagrams of the Immortal Sky Concealing Formation morphed into a Daoist robe, draping over Han Li, protecting him from any unforeseen events.

In the next moment, Han Li’s figure disappeared from Chengdao Peak.

Leizhou.

Han Li stood atop Tianxuan Mountain, looking down at the place with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Many years ago, Tianxuan Mountain had already moved into the domain of the Qitian Teaching, and the current Tianxuan Mountain Range had been taken over by a new force, a Demon Sect of the Yinyang Sect.

Han Li merely watched silently, without taking any action.

Images flashed before his eyes, each one etching a deep memory in Han Li.

More than two hundred years ago, a young man, unwilling to remain mediocre, came here from Fengyang Manor in Lingjun City, and after overcoming numerous challenges, arrived at the Tianxuan Mountain Range.

After making great efforts, the young man finally passed the entry test of Tianxuan Mountain and was successfully accepted into the Sect.

Even if it was just as the lowest Registered disciple, the young man was overjoyed.

Tianxuan Mountain was one of the Four Great Sects of Leizhou. By being accepted, the young man had a future.

Three years to complete physical tempering, nine years to achieve great success in blood exchange, twenty years at the peak of True Qi, and three more to break through to the Innate Realm. He labored for decades to reach the peak of the Innate Realm but, due to carelessness and inattention, failed to ascend to the Pihai Realm, harming his foundations…

After wasting thirty more years, the once-young man had aged, and at the age of one hundred and fifty, he descended the mountain in frustration, took consorts, had children, and from then on embarked on a new cultivation path that spiraled uncontrollably.

“Huff~”

Exhaling deeply, Han Li repressed all memories deep within his heart and looked towards Dingyuan Manor.

He remembered that there was a Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor pinned down beneath the earth by a peerless Emperor Formation, something he was told by his first wife, Lu Tianxiang.

In his weaker days, Han Li never considered seeking out this Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor or gleaning opportunity from him, as that felt too dangerous.

After all, this was a Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor—who knew if he still had the power to break free, or if he still possessed lingering forces elsewhere?

Now, his strength had increased countless folds, with two Supreme Grade Emperor Weapons and an Emperor Formation Diagram draped over him, making it very unlikely for a Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor to succeed in a sneak attack to kill him.

That Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor had been suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years. His strength had likely deteriorated far from what it once was, and he probably posed little threat anymore.

Yet, after some thought, Han Li still chose not to seek out the Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor. The timing wasn’t right, and he worried about unexpected developments.

Generally speaking, a Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor pinned by a peerless Emperor Formation couldn’t have too high cultivation, certainly not at the peak of the Heaven Imperial Realm, otherwise the Emperor Formation wouldn’t be able to hold him down.

This Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor couldn’t possess any immortal weapons either; otherwise, by activating them, he could have shattered the peerless Emperor Formation and would have already freed himself.

But that’s all theoretical. Han Li believed that it was the peerless Emperor Formation suppressing the Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor, which Lu Tianxiang had told him, and she had learned it from the Great Emperor himself.
