Ancestor Takes Another Concubine Again (Large Chapter)—3

Translator: 549690339

Many high-ranking figures among the powers cursed inwardly, wishing they had simply not brought their daughters; marrying into the Han Family’s lineage wasn’t of much significance after all, given the Han Family’s multitude of descendants, while there was only one Han Family Patriarch.

But now, it was too late for them to take it back; the words had been spoken, and Patriarch Han had given them a look that they all understood.

Their daughters had been delivered, so it was best not to take them back.

If any power insisted on taking their daughters back, they would bear the consequences themselves.

Of course, none dared to offend the Han Family Patriarch. The choice of Patriarch Han to make the Chengsheng Mountain his Daoist practice ground had already shown them favor. If this True Person of the God Refining Realm got angry, no one knew how many small powers would be wiped out.

They glanced at the beautiful female cultivators behind them, saw the disappointment in their eyes, and could only sigh inwardly, resigned to leaving them behind.

Otherwise, they would truly offend Patriarch Han. If the Patriarch became enraged, it was possible they wouldn’t be able to leave Chengsheng Mountain, and the powers behind them would suffer.

“But we are at Patriarch Han’s command.”

The leaders of the various powers begrudgingly accepted the situation.

Afterward, Han Li proclaimed that from now on the Han Mansion would root itself in Chengsheng Mountain and would not expand outward easily. Their territories would remain unaffected, and the Han Family would not seize them.

The Han Mansion only needed Chengsheng Mountain and the surrounding twenty li as their territory. They would also not randomly seize various cultivation resources. However, when Han Mansion disciples were out training, other powers should make things convenient for them and provide assistance when necessary…

Hearing this, the leaders of the various powers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although sending their daughters wasn’t quite successful, they at least secured these promises from the Han Family Patriarch.

Wasn’t this the result they were hoping to achieve by sending their daughters?

This news quickly spread throughout Yonchang Manor, and even reached the surrounding manors, refreshing many cultivators’ impression of the Han Family Patriarch.

While known to be licentious and fond of beauty, becoming a concubine of the Han Family Patriarch was not easy. At least those female cultivators with less than seventh-grade aptitude were not qualified.

At the same time, they also noticed the Han Family Patriarch’s greed and domineering nature, for he had kept all the beautiful female cultivators, which certainly made the powers that sent the girls extremely uncomfortable.

Beauty in female cultivators was also a cultivation resource; combining with them made it easier to produce offspring with good aptitudes and even better allow the transmission of one’s own qualities. Plus, if the female cultivators were beautiful, it also pleased the eyes and improved one’s mood.

The powers of other manors instantly felt lucky; it was a good thing that it was Yonchang Manor where the Han Family had rooted itself, otherwise, it would have been their turn to suffer.

After this event of the powers sending their daughters, Chengsheng Mountain remained bustling for several months.

First, the Han Family Patriarch officially took a wife, holding a grand wedding with great fanfare and widespread influence.

Han Li officially married Lu Tianxiang, making her his first wife.

That day, all the significant powers of Yonchang Manor came, and all were the heads of their powers. Even though many were internally upset with Han Li’s previous domineering actions, they dared not abstain.

The Lord of Yonchang Manor arrived, and high -ranking figures from surrounding manors also attended this grand wedding.

Many God Refining Realm powers from Yuanzhou sent representatives to participate, and even the great sect of Wendao Pavilion from Yuanzhou came to congratulate Patriarch Han on his marriage.

In name, all the manors in Yuanzhou were ruled by the Da Qian Empire, but in reality, the great sects in Yuanzhou had their territories where they would recruit disciples, barely qualifying them as actual rulers, a situation tacitly accepted by the Daqian Empire.

These great sects were nominally under the rule of the Daqian Empire, which would not interfere as long as they did not cause trouble.

Han Li, having said he would give Lu Tianxiang a beautiful wedding, did not go back on his word. Without further exposing his cultivation level, he had indeed achieved the utmost.

Those God Refining Realm powers and Wendao Pavilion guests were personally invited by Han Li; they gave face by attending and brought blessings along with various precious congratulatory gifts.

After all, this was the first time the God Refining Realm Patriarch Han was taking a wife. While they could disregard his taking of concubines, they had to pay respect for his marriage.

The Cultivation Realm wasn’t just about fighting; it was also about interpersonal connections and the ways of the world.

Today they gave face to Patriarch Han, and in the future, he would do the same for them; it was reciprocal.

This was the most splendid wedding Han Li had ever hosted, far surpassing those he held in Lingjun City by dozens or hundreds of times.

Simultaneously, Han Li used the occasion of this wedding to declare the arrival of the Han Family to Yonchang Manor and to Yuanzhou formally.

He showcased his God Refining Realm cultivation level; sometimes, maintaining a low profile wasn’t a matter of personal preference, as various powers would consistently monitor his movements.

Han Li reiterated his previous statements: the Han Family would not expand actively nor would they easily seize other powers’ cultivation resources, but if anyone sought trouble with the Han Mansion, he would retaliate thunderously.

Han Li knew that when it was time to be firm, he had to be firm, to let these powers know the Han Family was not to be provoked, decreasing the odds of them seeking trouble.

Although the wedding had a significant impact, it would cool down after a while. When the various powers realized the Han Family had upheld their promises, they naturally wouldn’t pay much attention.

As long as Han Li kept a low profile consistently, remaining in Chengsheng Mountain, other powers would be very pleased.

Then, the Han Family could continue to develop stably, and when the Han Family’s descendants went out to train, there would be few who dared to openly harm them.

Han Li did not want his descendants to perish while training; how would they then continue the family line and contribute to him?

A month after marrying Lu Tianxiang, Han Li held another wedding, taking those seven female cultivators with seventh-grade aptitudes as concubines.

This time, the wedding was much quieter. Han Li followed the standards of Lingjun City; the great powers did not attend, with only the smaller ones sending representatives.

These powers knew well that the Han Family Patriarch had come to be known as the ‘Concubine-taking Patriarch’ with incessantly adding concubines. They considered taking a wite seriously but tor taking concubines, a pertunctory acknowledgment sufficed.

For both taking a wife and accepting concubines, Han Li held mass feasts in the Mortal World by the side of three major rivers, offering free food and drink to ordinary people so they would remember the good deeds of Patriarch Han, and keep his favor in mind. It was best if families with beautiful descendants could marry them into the Han Mansion.

After Han Li completed his marriage and concubinage ceremonies, only then did the Han Family descendants begin to hold their smaller weddings and concubinage celebrations, which were less influential..
