The disparity within the Myriad Phenomena Realm is vast; he had to elevate several minor realms within the Tongxuan Realm just to increase his mana reserve by one minor realm, thereby enhancing his combat ability.
Now, Han Li’s primordial spirit stands fifty million Zhang tall, completely transformed into Pure Yang, rivaling a Saint in the fifth heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. No longer bound by realm restrictions, with sufficient cultivation, he could ascend to the pinnacle of the Tongxuan Realm in one go.
Han Li estimated that the cultivation needed during this period should be much less. After all, without the realm’s strictures, it was much easier to break through.
Having done all of this, Han Li retracted his aura, took back the Sky Concealing Formation Map, and then had Zi Yi and Shi Qi withdraw their power before he returned to the summit of Chengdao Peak once again.
Disappearing for only a short amount of time, no one knew that he had broken through to the Tongxuan Realm and that his combat ability matched a Saint of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
“This gives me even more confidence.”
Thinking of the potential arrival of Empress Yuanchu and envoys of Empress Yuanchu, a smile appeared on Han Li’s face, even showing signs of anticipation.
With his current combat ability, plus several Emperor Level weapons, he should be able to win, right?
“Huff~”
Han Li exhaled a breath, feeling refreshed; his strength had grown, and even his mindset had improved.
Along with his breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm, his lifespan also soared dramatically. Before the breakthrough, Han Li had a lifespan of 9822 years, and after, it skyrocketed to 14822 years.
After some thought, Han Li queried the system, wanting to know how many years of cultivation it would take for him to break through the Tongxuan Realm. The system quickly provided an answer.
As Han Li had anticipated, the Tongxuan Realm is essentially about cultivating the primordial spirit and transforming it into Pure Yang. His primordial spirit is so strong, and already fully Pure Yang, there are no bottlenecks due to realms.
He is now of first-grade aptitude, with a progress reaching 28%, still far from ascending to Immortal Grade aptitude and without any special physique, so the cultivation consumption is not small.
Originally, it would take countless years of cultivation for him to break from the first heaven of the Tongxuan Realm to the peak, but now the consumption has been reduced by roughly half, which made the old ancestor Han Li extremely happy.
This way, he could save a great deal of effort and ascend in realms much faster.
……
Several days later,
A young Taoist priest arrived at the outskirts of Chengsheng Mountain. With an ordinary appearance, hands folded into his sleeves, and a sword sheath on his back without a sword within.
This young Taoist priest was none other than Lu Zhen, who had come from the Dao Domain of Bai Yujing.
“Is this Chengsheng Mountain? It doesn’t seem as sparse in spiritual energy as the rumors say.”
Lu Zhen stood nonchalantly high in the sky, making no attempt to conceal himself, as his overwhelming divine sense covered Chengsheng Mountain for a thorough investigation.
Using divine sense to probe Chengsheng Mountain was likely to be noticed, but Lu Zhen didn’t mind being concealed; he did so deliberately as a form of probing.
He would soon learn whether Han Li had rapidly risen by chance fortune or, as the rumors suggested, was a reincarnated Saint or Great Power.
At the same time, Lu Zhen remained vigilant, constantly in communication with the Artifact Spirit of the Quasi Emperor weapon, ready to be activated in case of any emergencies.
Lu Zhen was acting on the Monarch of Bai Yujing’s command to recruit Han Li into Bai Yujing, while also determining the roots of this man, which would shape Bai Yujing’s attitude towards Han Li.
Previously in Dangyang Mountain, he had been careless and suppressed by an enigmatic Tongxuan Realm Power with an Emperor Formation Map, even slapped gratuitously.
This time leaving the mountain, Lu Zhen had learned from his mistakes and secured a Quasi Emperor weapon from his master, and not just any, but a top-tier one.
With this Quasi Emperor weapon by his side, he could traverse the entire Qianyuan Divine Province with ease. Even if that mysterious Tongxuan Realm Power reemerged, the full awakening of the Quasi Emperor weapon could withstand the Emperor Formation Map for a while, buying enough time for the Monarch of Bai Yujing to provide support.
“But that’s about it, it still falls short compared to the old lairs of the Divine Yuan Realm Powers,” Lu Zhen assessed.
The spiritual energy of Chengsheng Mountain was many times denser than reported, which was normal, after all, considering it is the lair of an Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm.
He found that Chengsheng Mountain was equipped with several high-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays, greatly enhancing the spiritual energy of the mountain. Moreover, Han Li had obtained a massive amount of cultivation resources from the Daqian Empire, including Spirit Veins, all of which could enhance the spiritual energy of Chengsheng Mountain.
Lu Zhen shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to the bustling Han Mansion and noticed that the cultivators inside were not of a high realm. Apart from Han Li, the strongest were only at the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
The number of God Refining Realm true beings was substantial, while Grandmasters in the Hollow Void Stage and Great Grandmasters in the Myriad Phenomena Realm were few, all documented in the intelligence as Han Li’s wives.
Looking at a certain peak of Chengsheng Mountain, Lu Zhen sighed, “He really has quite the progeny.”
According to reports, not only does Han Li have hundreds of wives and concubines, but his number of descendants is even larger, totaling several thousand.
His Divine Sense swept over the area briefly and found that most were indeed on Chengsheng Mountain, but their cultivation levels were generally not high.
After another investigation, Lu Zhen communicated with the Artifact Spirit of the Quasi Emperor weapon and had it activate the Quasi Emperor weapon to probe Chengsheng Mountain once again.
In the past, Lu Zhen wouldn’t have been so cautious, but having suffered a setback last time and with the undercurrents flowing within the Qianyuan Divine Province recently, it was better to be safe than sorry.
“There’s nothing amiss.” Soon, the voice of the Artifact Spirit entered Lu Zhen’s sea of consciousness.
Lu Zhen’s eyebrows raised slightly. “Nothing amiss” meant no major problems, but did that indicate there were minor problems?
Lu Zhen soon came to terms with it. Minor problems weren’t much of an issue, they couldn’t tarnish the bigger picture. If Han Li truly were the reincarnation of a powerful saint, it would be strange if there weren’t any minor issues.
“Tsk, he’s finally here.”
As Lu Zhen’s thoughts turned, he saw a figure flying out from Chengsheng Mountain, it was Han Li, coming towards him in the firmament.
Han Li maintained the peak of the True Martial Realm’s Sixth Heaven cultivation, flying towards Lu Zhen with a deliberately solemn expression on his face, not revealing any flaws to anyone.
The arrival of Lu Zhen was quite sudden; he had concealed his aura with a Quasi Emperor weapon when he entered the Xuan Domain, intending to catch Han Li unprepared for the best effect.
However, what Lu Zhen didn’t know was that the moment he entered the Xuan Domain, he had been completely exposed in Han Li’s sight, even the Quasi Emperor weapon’s concealment was futile.
Since deciding on this plan, Han Li had been prepared by allowing Zi Yi to revive a portion of the Void Bell’s power, constantly covering the entire Xuan Domain, deliberately probing to see which forces would come and who would be the people coming.
For this, Han Li also revived many Emperor weapons and even the Sky Concealing Formation Map on Chengsheng Mountain to conceal the secrets of heaven, meanwhile hiding the climate of Chengsheng Mountain.
Sensitive identities or high cultivation wives like Long Yue, Xue Yueqing, Ling Lingshuang were temporarily placed in the Time-Sky Tower, cultivating inside to avoid any mishaps.
The Emperor-level Lower Grade Dragon Vein of Chengsheng Mountain, as well as all important Divine Medicines, Divine Weapons, Divine Formations, and everything else including his wives, concubines, and descendants’ cultivation levels and aptitudes were covered and temporarily sealed by the power of several Emperor weapons.
If an envoy from the Sacred Land were to come and inspect, they wouldn’t be able to discover much unless they used an Immortal Grade weapon, which was completely impossible. In public, he was just at the True Martial Realm. Even for the reincarnation of a powerful saint, it was not worth it.
The envoy sent by Bai Yujing turned out to be Sect Leader Lu Zhen, which was quite a surprise to Han Li and a sign of great respect.
The Quasi Emperor weapon on Lu Zhen had already been probed by Han Li’s Emperor weapons, yet he was none the wiser; what he saw was only the most ordinary side of Chengsheng Mountain.
“Sect Leader Lu, this isn’t quite proper, is it?”
Upon reaching the firmament, Han Li’s tone was already not very good, containing dissatisfaction.
He was now portraying himself as the reincarnation of a powerful figure. Lu Zhen’s willful probing of his lair would warrant some temper, or else it would be easier to give himself away.
“I think it’s quite good.”
Lu Zhen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he released the aura of the Divine Yuan Realm, pressing down on Han Li.
“Hmph!”
Han Li snorted coldly, the aura of the peak of the True Martial Realm’s Sixth Heaven was released without reservation. He even activated a secret technique that temporarily elevated his combat ability to the later stages of the True Martial Realm, resisting Lu Zhen’s aura.
After that, Han Li pretended to be unable to bear it, retreating several steps in succession before forcefully stabilizing himself. He frowned deeply and stared at Lu Zhen, demanding, “What is Sect Leader Lu’s intention?”
“Don’t get excited, Dao Friend Han.”
Lu Zhen smiled, withdrew his aura, and said, “I heard that Dao Friend comes from an extraordinary background. Lu was overjoyed at the hunt and wished to have an exchange with Dao Friend.”
“It’s a pity that Dao Friend has not yet recovered his former life’s strength, otherwise, Lu would have the chance to witness the extraordinary elegance of a saint.”
Han Li’s eyebrows raised as he said with a deep voice, “Sect Leader Lu seems to have some misunderstandings about Han, I am not the reincarnation of any saint.”
“Is that so?” Lu Zhen smiled and did not continue to question further.
Han Li was quite interesting. His words implied that he might be a reincarnation from the Tongxuan Realm, yet Han Li had not explicitly said so.
“Sect Leader Lu’s intentions for coming here are clear to Han, but Han would like to ask, where are the people from the House of Divine Armies?” Han Li let out a breath and said.
“Before coming to Chengsheng Mountain, Lu took a trip to the Sword Domain and had a friendly exchange with the envoy from the House of Divine Armies. He said that something came up at the last minute and decided not to come,” said Lu Zhen indifferently.
PS: Something came up today, and I’m not in a good state, plus I hit a block in the writing… I was stuck on combat ability for quite a while…
In short, I’ll make up for it tomorrow.
