Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Han Li stood tall, emanating a terrifying aura that spread billions of miles around. With every move, his divine might overshadowed the world, and the laws of the universe pervaded the air as if he were an invincible being reigning over the nine heavens and ten lands.

“So strong!”

As Han Li savored the strength following his breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

Now he was hundreds, if not more, times stronger than before the breakthrough; he could annihilate his former self with a snap of his fingers.

This breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm marked a colossal advancement in his all-encompassing martial path, as he leaped from the Martial True Pill and Martial Primordial Spirit directly to the True Spirit stage.

Owing to the fusion of two strands of Ancient Immortal Light, Han Li’s Martial True Pill and Martial Primordial Spirit both shattered their limits and ventured into uncharted territories, laying a solid foundation for these realms, which allowed him to reach the True Spirit stage in one fell swoop—breaking through the extreme limit and also stepping into the unknown.

Typically, the highest rank for a Martial True Pill is King Grade, for a Martial Primordial Spirit it is Emperor Grade, and for True Spirit, it is Divine Grade—insurmountable limits representing the strongest foundations.

At least, that was the belief throughout the Endless Yuankun Domain.

In the ancient records of the countless epochs of the Endless Yuankun Domain, there had never been a mighty one capable of breaking these extreme limits, let alone all three at once.

What benefits breaking the extreme limits brought, Han Li couldn’t quite articulate at the moment. He only knew that his origin had grown manyfold stronger, and his combat ability had greatly increased.

Now, every aspect of Han Li’s strength had surged dramatically, encompassing his Primordial Spirit, mana, Divine Sense, physical body, and many more areas.

Though only in the first Heaven of the Tongxuan Realm, Han Li’s mana was already comparable to that of a Saint in the Saint Abyss Realm. According to the data on his personal panel, his mana reserve was akin to the third Heaven of the Saint Abyss Realm.

This surprised Han Li; he had broken through a Big Realm and his all-encompassing martial path had advanced by several stages, yet it only matched the third Heaven of the Saint Abyss Realm.

Upon further understanding, Han Li realized that the gaps within the Saint Abyss Realm were even vaster than those of the Tongxuan Realm. The higher one climbed, the larger the disparity became, even between minor sub-realms.

In the Saint Abyss Realm, Saints had to open up the Heavenly Abyss, one function of which was to bear the mana of the Saints. During a breakthrough, True Yuan is transformed into mana, not only increasing in quality but also potentially surging tenfold in quantity, varying from person to person.

Thereafter, with each minor sub-realm, the mana doubles, making for an amplification compared to previous realms. The key is the increasing base, which widens the disparity further.

Han Li’s Primordial Spirit, during his breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm, had shattered countless shackles and surged to 50 million zhang in height, rivaling the Fifth Heaven of the Saint Abyss Realm.

Such a tremendous increase in his Primordial Spirit also lead to an enhancement of his Divine Sense, on par with the Fifth Heaven of the Saint Abyss Realm, with a maximum coverage area reaching five hundred million miles.

Considering the vast and boundless expanse of the Xuan Domain, also measured at about five hundred million miles in its entirety, this meant Han Li could cover the entire Xuan Domain with his Divine Sense if he wished.

In comparison, Han Li’s physical body, strength, and defense improved modestly. The all-encompassing martial path had progressed through several stages and, coupled with the breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm, reached the peak of the Tongxuan Realm.

After all, the body-refining martial technique he practiced was only of Top Grade Heaven Rank—the Xuanhuang Tyrant Body. Once he obtained a Divine Rank body-refining martial technique, or acquired a special physique, he could advance to the domain of the Saint Abyss Realm.

Prior to the breakthrough, Han Li’s speed was already the fastest in the lower Saint Abyss Realm; now, it had increased exponentially, comparable to the Fourth Heaven of the Saint Abyss Realm, allowing him to traverse four billion miles of the void in a single breath.

Besides that, Han Li’s combat ability had also received a tremendous boost. On one hand, there was a significant increase in mana, strength, and speed, enabling the same martial techniques to unleash even greater power. On the other hand, there was the all-encompassing martial path.

Han Li had initially thought the all-encompassing martial path reaching the True Spirit stage would enhance the power of martial techniques by seven grades. Unexpectedly, it was only six.

Upon investigation, he discovered that True Spirit doesn’t fall within the sphere of martial arts. True Spirit is a unique existence, born from the fusion of martial path, physical body, Primordial Spirit, and True Yuan.

Starting from the Hollow Void Stage, the essence of martial arts begins to be understood, and through the Shenyuan Realm, the Martial Primordial Spirit is cultivated. Once in the Tongxuan Realm, the focus is still on cultivating the Martial Primordial Spirit, not the True Spirit.

The stage of Martial Primordial Spirit encompasses the Shenyuan Realm, Tongxuan Realm, Saint Abyss Realm, and even up to the Quasi Emperor territory and Heaven Imperial Realm. The Martial Primordial Spirit becomes increasingly powerful, serving as one of the fundamental sources of a cultivator’s strength.

However, Han Li was quite content. The ultimate martial path was indeed potent, and there still was no limit reached, capable of enhancing the power of martial techniques by six grades. The question remained whether he could continue to improve before becoming an immortal.

With a thought, Han Li opened his Martial Skill Panel, which contained all the martial techniques he had mastered. It also quantified his combat ability, comparing it to the average cultivator of each realm, showing where he currently stood.

[Martial Skill Panel]

Divine Rank Mid Grade: Thousand Sword Scripture (Saint Abyss Realm Sixth Heaven)

Divine Rank Lower Grade: Five Elements Divine Punch, Earth-shattering Fist (Saint Abyss Realm Fifth Heaven)

Emperor Rank Extreme Grade: Demon Slaying Great Hand Imprint, Geng Metal Sword Scripture, Breaking Cosmos Spear Decree (Saint Abyss Realm Fourth Heaven)

Heaven Rank Top Grade: Four Phases World Suppressing Punch, Sky Balancing Manual (Saint Abyss Realm Third Heaven)

…

Seeing the information on the panel, Han Li’s pupils contracted abruptly. How could he be this strong?

Then, Han Li came to his senses. This was normal, after all. The power of these martial techniques had been elevated by six grades, reaching the pinnacle of the Emperor Level martial techniques.

If his mana and physical body were not limiting him, perhaps they could be elevated even further.

“It seems there won’t be much increase in combat ability for a long time to come.” Closing the Martial Skill Panel, Han Li sighed softly.
