He also visited Tianji Pavilion to check on intelligence, wanting to see if Tianji Pavilion knew that the alias was him, but Tianji Pavilion was also unaware.
However, Han Li knew that there would still be people who guessed the alias was his, such as Jiang Baiye who had guessed it; if Jiang Baiye knew, then Yun Miaoyi probably knew as well.
Now that Jiang Baiye was dealt with by him, and Yun Miaoyi was far away at Yinyang Sect, he was temporarily unable to deal with her.
Based on Han Li’s understanding of Yun Miaoyi, that witch was almost guaranteed not to leak the information, as it would not benefit her; nonetheless, Han Li still decided to find an opportunity to patch things up. “Later, I’ll accompany you back to the Diancang Sect for a bit, to handle some things.”
Han Li still planned to deal with the Diancang Sect; at the very least, he needed to make Lu Tianxiang show herself, to keep the Diancang Sect functioning and stop them from investigating Lu Tianxiang’s whereabouts.
Moreover, with Lu Tianxiang’s strength heavily damaged, and her Faith Halo that burned still needing to be reformed, it required Diancang Sect to spread the word; even if her cultivation was sealed, it wouldn’t affect the accumulation of faith.
Lu Tianxiang did not refuse.
“What is the name of the force behind you? Will there be someone who would want to come and save you?” Han Li continued to ask.
He had long been curious about those Mysterious Forces, and also wanted to know Lu Tianxiang’s situation within them.
Although Lu Tianxiang had been abandoned, but then rescued by him, it was uncertain whether her friends, family, or mentors would come to investigate and attempt to rescue her from his alias.
Lu Tianxiang fell silent, Han Li could see she was struggling and hesitating, he did not continue to press her.
After a while, Lu Tianxiang sighed and said, “For certain reasons, the name of the Sect cannot be revealed, but I can answer your other questions.”
Han Li nodded; it seemed this Mysterious Force possessed some unfathomable method of preventing internal members from exposing the Force, suggesting it lurked in the shadows, unwilling to be known by the outside world. Seeing that Han Li did not force her, Lu Tianxiang felt relieved, a somewhat inexplicable feeling in her heart, which she shook off and continued:
“I have an uncle in the Sect with whom I have a good relationship. He didn’t come to support me this time, likely being suppressed by others, too fearful to come. ”
“He should have other important matters to attend to in the Da Qian, and I’m not clear if he will come to investigate, but even if he does, it will be of no use, as no one Imows I am in your hands.”
Han Li’s pupils contracted slightly.
As a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, Lu Tianxiang’s uncle should be a late or peak powerhouse of the Myriad Phenomena Realm to be able to support her.
The “other person” who could suppress her uncle and frighten him from coming to her aid must at least be at the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, most likely an Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm.
A secret arrival of an Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm belonging to a Mysterious Force within the Da Qian province undoubtedly revealed their intentions; it looked like the Daqian Empire was not far from chaos.
Han Li didn’t know how long this calm could last; he only hoped the longer, the better. Fortunately, he was also close to breaking through to the Myriad
Phenomena Realm.
Once the child in Lu Tianxiang’s belly and other offspring were born, he would definitely be able to break through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, this time at most half a year away.
“Right, how did you know that I had the Rebirth Pill in my possession?” Although Han Li had already guessed, he still wanted to hear what Lu Tianxiang would say.
“A Great Emperor said so, ” Lu Tianxiang replied indifferently.
“A Great Emperor?! ”
Han Li gasped, taken aback. What realm was a Great Emperor?
He knew that beyond the True Martial Realm were the Divine Yuan Realm, Tongxuan Realm, and Saint Abyss Realm, but none of these realms’ honorific titles were Great Emperor; could the Great Emperor be a realm beyond the Saint Abyss Realm?
Seeing Han Li’s shocked demeanor, Lu Tianxiang felt a slight thrill of joy. Han Li always appeared so confident and in control, which annoyed her quite a bit.
“Above the Holy Abyss Realm lies the Heaven Imperial Realm, only by mastering the Heavenly Sovereign Path can one be called a Great Emperor,” Lu Tianxiang said proudly, her graceful swan neck on display as she lifted her head high.
“Hiss-”
Watching Lu Tianxiang’s proud and adorable demeanor, Han Li purposely drew a sharp breath to go along with her act.
“With your strength, you shouldn’t have been able to come into contact with a
Great Emperor, and moreover, in the Xuan Domain and even within the entire Qianyuan Divine Province, mighty beings at the Tongxuan Realm are nearly extinct. How could there be a Great Emperor existing?” Han Li was very puzzled.
Lu Tianxiang’s eyes flickered as she answered, “This is an ancient emperor who was sealed in ancient times, an invincible being who survived the great calamities of antiquity.”
“He was sealed within our Xuan Domain, and as it happens, the location of this emperor’s seal is right within the Qian Dynasty’s Leizhou.”
“This emperor informed me of some news, which I found related to Qiu Xuan, and then deduced that the Rebirth Pill formula is on you.”
“Han Li, do you want to know the exact location of this emperor’s seal?”
Han Li appeared enlightened, then unhesitatingly refused, “I don’t want to know. ”
Lu Tianxiang frowned in confusion and asked, “You don’t want to meet a legendary emperor who mastered the Heavenly Sovereign Path? This emperor possesses countless high-level cultivation techniques, sacred arts, pill formulas, and blueprints. If you were to go, the emperor might even bestow upon you a scroll of imperial scriptures.”
“I don’t want to, and I don’t need to. I feel that life is quite good as it is now,” Han Li tightened his grip around Lu Tianxiang’s hand, drawing her even closer to him.
“Why?”
“I’m the kind who dislikes fighting and killing, preferring a peaceful life, the best life is one without any enemies.”
“The trouble with the Rebirth Pill formula was enough, and if I were to obtain the imperial scriptures, I would be entangled in even greater trouble,” Han Li said indifferently.
What of an emperor at the Heaven Imperial Realm?
Given time, it was inevitable that he would become a Great Emperor in the future, as well as attaining immortality.
Currently lacking in cultivation, he did not wish to be involved with beings far more powerful than himself at higher realms, as that would make him concerned for the security of his life.
In the future, once he had reached the Heaven Imperial Realm, becoming a Great Emperor or even immortal, then it would be fine to visit this sealed Great Emperor.
At that time, although the sealed Great Emperor might not provide him with fortunes, the knowledge and skills which the emperor possessed could vastly enhance the foundation of the Han Mansion.
Han Li might not need them, but his descendants would.
The location of the Great Emperor’s seal will certainly be visited by Han Li once his cultivation reaches the necessary realm.
Lu Tianxiang nodded slightly, asking no further, her estimation of Han Li had risen considerably.
A living Great Emperor, and one who is sealed at that, represented countless grand fortunes and was enough to drive people mad.
Even Lu Tianxiang herself was not exempt, otherwise, she wouldn’t have ended up in Han Li’s hands.
She had deliberately revealed this information as a test for Han Li, to see if he could resist the temptation of that heaven-defying opportunity.
Han Li had passed the test, and her approval of him had increased significantly; she felt that someone like Han Li might actually live a longer life.
He was adept at concealing his edge and intelligence and knew how to abstain and save himself. Such a person was destined for great achievements in the future.
If that were the case, her marrying such a man wouldn’t diminish her status, and she wouldn’t be dragged into some nonsensical vortex and die as a result..
