Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 462: Chapter 212: The Reaction of the Various Sacred Lands, Descendants Reach Five Thousand, Breaking Through to the Tongxuan Realm! _4

The Li Manor relocated to Chengsheng Mountain and merged with Han Mansion two days ago. Han Li’s cherished wives and beautiful concubines from the Li Manor, along with his progeny, were fully integrated. These days, they were exploring everywhere, filled with curiosity, getting to know the various buildings, benefits, and systems of Chengsheng Mountain.

The guards and maids of the Li Manor were partly brought over by Han Li’s faithful entourage, while the rest were left at Han Mansion in the Capital City. The plaque of the Li Manor had already been replaced with that of Han Mansion.

Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yun, Qiu Yueyao, Li Mingmeng, and other cherished wives and beautiful concubines gladly welcomed Xue Qingyi, Song Zhixuan, Chu Xianlin, and other ladies. They had each been aware of one another for some time.

After the merger of the two households, the master had instructed them to live harmoniously, just like before, and to avoid any discord. All the cherished wives and beautiful concubines abided by this.

Whether for themselves or for their progeny, none of them wanted to be involved in such thankless trouble.

Xue Qingyi, Song Zhixuan, Chu Xianlin, and other beautiful wives and concubines from the Li Manor who were now integrated were even less likely to cause trouble since Han Li’s wives and concubines at Chengsheng Mountain, although fewer in number, had been with him longer and generally possessed higher cultivation levels.

They simply wanted to assimilate quickly and then enjoy the benefits of Chengsheng Mountain, striving for more advantages for themselves and their progeny.

For Ling Lingshuang, it was different; she was somewhat annoyed in her heart. When she agreed to Han Li, she really had not anticipated that Han Li would have so many wives and concubines.

Since she was inherently proud and held a status second to none, she had reluctantly convinced herself to accept becoming Han Li’s Dao companion, only to end up being one among many.

Now that the Li Manor had integrated, the number of Han Li’s cherished wives and beautiful concubines suddenly multiplied several times over, which made Ling Lingshuang even more displeased.

In her mind, even if she were to take on the role of someone’s Dao companion, it would be as the sole one, or at least one of very few. She could accept Xue Yueqing, given that Xue Yueqing was as renowned as she was.

Han Li reached out to embrace her in his arms, and Ling Lingshuang struggled symbolically for a moment before giving in; she knew struggling was futile, and the adulterer even seemed to enjoy it more.

“Lingshuang, are you jealous?”

Han Li bit her exquisitely flawless earlobe, speaking softly in her ear.

Feeling the warm breath blowing in her ear, Ling Lingshuang raised an eyebrow and scoffed, “Heh~ even if I jump from here, I, Ling Lingshuang, will absolutely not be jealous.”

I knew she would be stubborn about it.

Han Li smiled, quite enjoying it, and whispered into her ear, “Lingshuang, with your silver tongue, why don’t you shower me with some praise?”

Ling Lingshuang was stunned; what was Han Li talking about? It took her a moment to catch on.

A beautiful blush appeared on Ling Lingshuang’s face and she lightly stepped on Han Li’s foot, rejecting him with a frosty tone, “Don’t even think about it.”

A smile appeared on Han Li’s face as his hands began to make mischievous movements, traversing peaks and valleys, causing Ling Lingshuang’s delicate body to stiffen slightly.

Afterward, Han Li picked up Ling Lingshuang and vanished from the peak of Chengdao Peak in a flash.

Two hours later, Patriarch Han returned to the peak of Chengdao Peak alone, satisfied, and began to attend to other matters.

He was preparing to break through to the Tongxuan Realm.

As early as the day after the Dangyang Mountain incident concluded, the number of his progeny had reached five thousand. Han Li glanced and noted there were now 5,072 of them, with 2,208 being progeny of outstanding talent.

When the number of his progeny reached five thousand, Han Li received a reward of six hundred years of cultivation, bringing his accumulated cultivation to 2,446 years.

He also obtained a great number of elixirs, such as Sea Parting Pill, Gathering Gangrene Pill, Immortal Conservation Pill, and so on, along with four hundred years of Talisman Making experience, barely elevating his Talisman Making proficiency to the mid-range of Divine Rank.

In addition, Han Li acquired a Lower Grade Divine Rank martial technique, the Golden Crow Escape Technique.

The Golden Crow Escape Technique was a speed-based martial skill, which delighted Han Li considerably as he had long been looking forward to a powerful speed-based martial skill.

His previously mastered skill was the Heaven Rank mid-grade Void Step, which, even with the enhancement of the All-Powerful Martial Path, equated merely to the mid-range of Divine Rank.

The Golden Crow Escape Technique, being inherently a Lower Grade Divine Rank martial skill, with the enhancement of the All-Powerful Martial Path, rivaled Emperor Level Lower Grade martial skills and was a Quasi Emperor Rank technique.

Upon claiming the skill, Han Li immediately absorbed and mastered it to the perfection stage. Although he could not exhibit Quasi Emperor Rank speed due to his cultivation limitations, it significantly boosted his own speed.

Now, Han Li’s speed leapt from being comparable to the Tongxuan Realm’s fourth layer of the Nine Heavens to the ninth layer perfection, making his speed second only to that of the Saints of the Sacred Land below the Saintly Abyss Realm.

With Han Li’s current speed, he could traverse nearly a hundred million li in a single breath. Once he broke through to the Tongxuan Realm, his speed would further increase, enough to rival the Saints of the Saintly Abyss Realm.

A breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm required 2,500 years of cultivation, and now, his cultivation was ample.

Including the 296 years of cultivation reflected from his progeny, Han Li had accumulated 2,742 years of cultivation, more than enough to ascend perfectly to the status of a powerful Tongxuan Realm expert.

Without hesitation, Han Li activated his thought, connecting with Zi Yi and Shi Qi, and the two women promptly activated the Void Bell and Time-Sky Tower. Two beams of Emperor’s Light descended, instantly isolating Han Li atop Chengdao Peak.

Entering a peculiar temporal space, Han Li immediately felt at ease. Guarded by two Supreme Grade Emperor artifacts, he did not have to worry about being disturbed, which might cause a mishap during his breakthrough. The commotion from his breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm could now be perfectly concealed.

After a moment’s thought, Han Li gave his body a shake, and the Sky Concealing Formation Map draped over him flew out, growing larger and transforming into an incomparable Emperor Formation, like so–divine providence.

Finally satisfied, Han Li nodded, sat cross-legged, and embarked on his journey of breakthrough.
