Chapter 230: Chapter 166: Han Li Cuts the Grass and Removes the Roots! The Daqian Empire Trembles!_1

After spending a considerable time with Jiang Baiye, Han Li finally left, heading towards Cultivation Peak while checking the system notifications.

“You have produced an offspring with the first Fourth Grade talent, your talent has increased by ten percent, you’ve gained sixty years of cultivation, and you’ve obtained the Earth Rank Mid-Grade martial technique [Xuanming Seven Sword].”

Han Li nodded slightly, having anticipated this reward, yet he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

“It seems that only offspring with at least Third Grade talent would yield greater rewards,” Han Li mused to himself.

The reward for the first offspring with Third Grade talent had included an additional Heaven Rank Low-Grade cultivation technique, the Yin and Yang Five Elements Scripture, directly raising his talent from Fifth to Fourth Grade. Now, the reward for the first offspring with Fourth Grade talent was significantly less impressive.

The ten percent increase in talent had brought his current talent to 31% at Fourth Grade, and sixty years of cultivation was quite substantial, reducing the cultivation needed to advance to the True Martial Realm by one-tenth.

The Xuanming Seven Sword was decent as well; with the augmentation of the nascent Omni-Martial True Intent, it could unleash the combat strength of the Third Heaven of the True Martial Realm, comparable to the Divine Desolate Imprisoning Finger. Both techniques could be used in conjunction on one ‘persona.’

Nowadays, he possessed numerous Earth Rank Top-Grade and Supreme-Grade martial techniques. He had learned the complete version of the Yin and Yang Palm Seal from Yun Miaoyi and had already cultivated it to perfection. Tianxuan Mountain’s Xuantian Punch was also perfected, both capable of unleashing the combat power of the Fifth Heaven of the True Martial Realm.

The God Slaying Sword Scripture from Tianxuan Mountain had also reached perfection some time ago, able to unleash the combat power of the Third Heaven of the True Martial Realm.

Collecting his thoughts, Han Li arrived at Cultivation Peak, where all of the Han Mansion’s Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, Talisman Makers, and Formation Masters resided. The Guest Elders skilled in the Four Arts of Cultivation stayed here, refining various Spirit Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, Spirit Talismans, and Spiritual Formations for the Han Family.

Han Li also visited occasionally to refine higher grade Spirit Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, and other cultivation resources.

In the eyes of the outside world, Han Mansion was merely a God Refining Realm power, only capable of recruiting Seventh Grade Artifact Refiners and Alchemists from the Gangyuan Realm and the like.

Now, Cultivation Peak was home to numerous Guest Elders skilled in the Four Arts of Cultivation, with at least one Seventh Grade expert in each field, painstakingly recruited by the Han Mansion with significant effort.

Although Han Li was not impressed by their creations, he still found them satisfactory, at the very least useful for the descendants of the Han Mansion, who could also sell them.

In a few decades, there would be a group of Han Mansion descendants skilled in the Four Arts of Cultivation with decent grades, and by then, the Han Mansion would be able to compensate for its past weaknesses in this area.

Qingzhou, the former site of the Canghai Sect.

Ever since the Daqian Empire withdrew, the Yinyang Sect had occupied Qingzhou. The Hehuan Sect had also moved to the former site of the Canghai Sect.

This place possessed the richest concentration of Spiritual Energy in the entire Qingzhou, and even in Sanzhou, which is why the Canghai Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects of Daqian, had claimed it.

In the newly established Hehuan Sect’s grand hall, Yan Liulong was once again contemplating whether to capture Han Li.

She wore a form-fitting black dress with a slit running up to her thigh, revealing enticing black silk stockings. Resting her chin in one hand, she lounged on the throne, legs elegantly crossed.

Her tall, mature body undulated with grace—her beauty beyond description. Her posture was incredibly seductive, from her peach-like charms above to below, she was a fully ripened water peach.

Time failed to leave its mark on her; she retained the delicate skin of a young girl yet possessed the mature allure of a married woman, sometimes taking on the persona of a cool and noble lady, akin to a queen sitting above all others.

“It should be fine, right?” Yan Liulong’s sultry, soul-stirring voice echoed in the grand hall as she spoke to herself.

The thought of capturing and marrying an ancestor brought a profoundly enchanting and sultry expression to the face of this tempting creature, intoxicating and ensnaring to anyone who beheld it.

Yan Liulong had accomplished her task of infiltrating the Daqian Empire for the Yinyang Sect, and as she desired, she had broken through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, becoming a Great Grandmaster.

She felt it was time to settle accounts with that marrying ancestor.

Now that the situation had stabilized and the various powers were maintaining their current statuses, with no new major confrontations expected in the short term, Yan Liulong believed this to be an opportune moment.

Her current location in Qingzhou was not far from Yuanzhou, where Han Li resided, with only Jizhou lying in between. With her speed, the round trip would not take long.

Yan Liulong had previously wanted to settle the score with Han Li but had been wary of the Qian Dynasty’s old war ancestor, leading her to hold back. Furthermore, with the arrival of an old ancestor from the Li Manor in the Qian Dynasty, she dared not take any action.

However, after observing for a while, Yan Liulong noticed that both True Martial Realm Emperor Wu stayed in the Capital City of the Qian Dynasty, seemingly with no intention to interfere.

The old war ancestor appeared to have little lifespan left and was likely in seclusion, not wishing to act recklessly; the lord of Li Manor, however, seemed to be of a larger vision, proclaiming, “Within the boundaries of Da Qian, True Martial is forbidden,” specifically targeted at True Martial Realm powerhouses.

When other powers’ Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters entered Da Qian’s six states, it was the Great Grandmasters of the Qian Dynasty itself who dealt with them. The old ancestor from Li Manor made no moves at all, truly adhering to what he had declared.

“I’ll wait a few more days, and if there’s still no issue, I’ll go capture Han Li to bolster my strength,” Yan Liulong’s tempting tongue flicked across her red lips.

Suddenly, Yan Liulong sighed, “Compared to Li Feiyu, Han Li still falls far short.”

In fact, Han Li had been gradually losing his title of marrying ancestor, mainly because his strength was too low. Being only over two hundred years old, he no longer suited the moniker, even though he had many wives and concubines.

Now, the new “marrying ancestor” from the Li Manor was Li Feiyu, with True Martial Realm cultivation and having lived for over a thousand years. In three months, he had taken twenty-four concubines, each with significant renown, all of great beauty and starting from the Gangyuan Realm in cultivation.
