Chapter 433: 206: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, with Grandpa Han at the very end!_1
After the Life-Prolonging Furnace evolved into a Supreme Grade Emperor Weapon, an internal small space was also created.
At this moment, Patriarch Han was testing the strength of Yin Ling’s techniques, and the two were engaged in an intense close-quarters battle here, exchanging blows back and forth until they were both exhausted.
Only after Patriarch Han transmitted countless profound principles to Yin Ling did he leave, contented.
Arriving at Chengdao Peak, Han Li overlooked the entire Chengsheng Mountain, feeling a sense of pleasure in his heart.
Although only three months had passed, the development speed of the Han Mansion was accelerating, entering a rapid and vigorous phase of growth, with good news heard every day.
Three months ago, Han Li took Lu Tianxiang to the South Sea to slay the Fisherman, obtaining the subsequent Cultivation Technique of the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture, which Lu Tianxiang, having cultivated the complete Immortal Scripture, broke through to the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm in just three months.
Han Li also successfully integrated this technique into the Chaos Scripture, greatly elevating its grade to the Emperor Level Top Grade, which belongs to the top Quasi Emperor rank Cultivation Techniques.
If not for the many aspects of the Immortal Scripture that were unsuitable for him, after absorbing this scripture, his Chaos Scripture would have advanced to a true Emperor Scripture.
Due to the significant upgrade in Cultivation Technique grade, Han Li’s own strength also increased markedly, the most noticeable change being the transformation of his True Yuan into Mana within his body.
Mana is of a higher order than True Yuan, and Cultivators generally need to reach the Saint Abyss Realm to condense Mana; Han Li, due to practicing an Emperor Level Top Grade technique, also saw a considerable enhancement in his Mana reserves, matching the power of eighth-level Tongxuan Realm, boosting him up by two small realms.
From the Fisherman, he also obtained many Sacred Soldiers and Emperor Weapons, such as the Top Grade Emperor Weapon Ancient Bronze Sword, the Mid Grade Emperor Weapon Silver Sky Spear, and the Lower Grade Emperor Weapon Haotian Hammer, and another seven or eight Sacred Soldiers.
Now, these Emperor Weapons and Sacred Soldiers were all loyal and acknowledged their master; Han Li planted the Ancient Bronze Sword on Chengdao Peak to guard Chengsheng Mountain, and the Silver Sky Spear was placed in The Li Manor’s Chong Xiao Pavilion.
The Haotian Hammer and the other Sacred Soldiers were left for his wives and concubines to choose from; those they liked they used, those they did not were cast into the Han Mansion’s treasure vault to reward descendants or for exchange in the future.
In the three months, Han Li opened three treasure chests and obtained three treasures, but regrettably, none were particularly impressive, making him doubt whether his luck was exhausted after obtaining the Creation Stone last time.
However, he thought it wasn’t too bad, considering them as groundwork for the future; perhaps after advancing to the Tongxuan Realm, he might strike it big and obtain an Immortal Weapon.
He placed all three treasures into the Han Mansion’s treasure vault, leaving them for his descendants to exchange. They were of no use to him, but they would be valuable to his descendants.
Thinking of his offspring, Han Li sighed.
In three months, the number of descendants in the Han Mansion had increased by several hundred, but it fell short of reaching 5,000, lacking just a bit; there were now only 4,983, and a few more days were needed to qualify for the reward.
The total number of descendants increased by 380, and the number of talents among them went up by 185, almost a 2:1 ratio, which Han Li found quite satisfactory as the gap was further narrowing.
Although Patriarch Han’s realm had not yet reached the Tongxuan Realm, his lifespan was nearly comparable, as his natural lifespan reached 9,733 years, which is close to the ten thousand years that a Tongxuan Realm powerhouse would live.
Breaking through from the peak of the Divine Yuan Realm to the Tongxuan Realm required 2,500 years of cultivation base; Han Li had so far accumulated 2,050 years, still short of 450 years.
Han Li’s sigh was because he would not be able to advance to the Tongxuan Realm before the outbreak of the Dangyang Mountain incident, which could erupt at any time, and he still needed a few more days to accumulate enough cultivation base.
Once the number of descendants reached 5,000, Han Li would gain an additional 600 years of cultivation base, by then he would have sufficient cultivation base to break through to the Tongxuan Realm, but it was too late.
Nevertheless, Han Li felt the issue was not significant, as with his Combat Ability, dealing with these matters should be quite simple, as long as nothing unexpected occurred.
After withdrawing his gaze, Han Li then looked towards Capital City, extending his Divine Sense in that direction, encompassing the entire Capital City.
His Divine Sense was now rivaling the fourth level of the Tongxuan Realm, and if pushed to its limit, could cover an area of fifty million li in radius; Capital City was only two million li away from Chengsheng Mountain.
Han Li saw that The Li Manor in the Capital City was bustling with preparations; his wives and concubines there were no longer in closed cultivation, every one of them with an expectant look in their eyes.
At first, only The Li Manor’s beautiful wives, such as Chu Xianlin, Xue Qingyi, Song Zhixuan, and others, knew his true identity, but now all his wives and concubines were aware.
After all, The Li Manor was soon to be integrated into the Han Mansion, and it was time to inform them, allowing them to prepare in advance and not be caught off guard.
Not only were the wives and concubines of The Li Manor informed, but Han Li’s offspring there also learned the truth, even changing their names back, all adopting the Han surname.
For example, the children of Xue Qingyi included Han Yonghuo and Han Yongyi, the children of Chu Xianlin included Han Yonglin and Han Yonglin, the children of Song Zhixuan included Han Yongzhi and Han Yongxuan, and the children of Feng Ziyue included Han Yongfeng and Han Yongyue.
Qiu Shuhui was the last wife Han Li took at The Li Manor, currently with only one offspring, named Han Yongyu.
In these three months, Han Li took on few concubines, only adding one concubine named Chen Duling from a prominent family in the Capital City.
Outsiders speculated whether the master of The Li Manor had changed his ways, but in reality, Han Li was preparing for the future; after the Dangyang Mountain incident concludes and the two mansions merge, Han Li would implement new standards for marrying and taking concubines throughout the Xuan Domain.
Henceforth, only women Cultivators with a beauty score above eighty-five and a talent of Fifth or Fourth Grade could become his concubines, and only those with a beauty score above ninety and a talent of Third Grade or higher could become his wives.
