Chapter 207 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas And Orioles Are Behind, Patriarch Han Is Last!
Chapter 207: Praying Mantis Hunts the Cicada, Yellow Sparrow Behind, Han Laozu Last!
Chengsheng Mountain, Han Mansion.
After the Life-Preserving Furnace evolved into an exquisite Emperor Soldier, it also generated a small space inside.
At this moment, Han Laozu was testing the strength of Yin Ling's Dao techniques. The two engaged in a fierce battle here, exchanging blows until they were both exhausted.
Only after Han Laozu imparted countless profound principles to Yin Ling did he leave with satisfaction.
Arriving at the Peak of Chengdao, Han Li looked down at the entire Chengsheng Mountain, feeling a sense of joy.
Although only three months had passed, the development speed of Han Mansion was getting faster and faster, entering a stage of rapid growth. Every day, there were various good news.
Three months ago, Han Li took Lutianxiang to the South Sea to kill the Fisherman, obtaining the follow-up cultivation method of the Immortal Scripture of All Living Beings. Lutianxiang, who cultivated the complete Immortal Scripture, broke through to the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm in just three months.
Han Li also successfully integrated this cultivation method into the Chaos Decision, greatly improving its grade to the middle-grade Emperor level, making it a top-notch quasi-Emperor level cultivation method.
If it weren't for the fact that the Immortal Scripture of All Living Beings had many parts that were not suitable for him, absorbing this scripture would have allowed his Chaos Decision to advance into a true Emperor Scripture.
Because the grade of the cultivation method had improved significantly, Han Li's strength had also noticeably increased. The most obvious change was in his true essence, which directly transformed into mana.
Mana was higher-level than true essence. Cultivators generally needed to reach the Holy Abyss Realm to condense mana. Due to cultivating a middle-grade Emperor level cultivation method, Han Li's mana storage had also increased significantly, comparable to the eighth level of the Universal Truth Realm, a two-level increase.
From the Fisherman, he also obtained many Divine Soldiers and Emperor Soldiers, such as the high-grade Emperor Soldier, the Bronze Ancient Sword, the middle-grade Emperor Soldier, the Silver Fangtian Halberd, and the low-grade Emperor Soldier, the Haotian Hammer, as well as seven or eight Divine Soldiers.
Now, these Emperor Soldiers and Divine Soldiers had all pledged allegiance and recognized him as their master. Han Li inserted the Bronze Ancient Sword into the Peak of Chengdao to guard Chengsheng Mountain, while the Fangtian Halberd was placed in the Li Mansion's Chongxiao Tower.
As for the Haotian Hammer and other Divine Soldiers, he let his beautiful wives and concubines choose. If they liked them, they could use them; if not, they would be thrown into the Han Mansion's treasure vault to be used as rewards for future generations or exchanged by future generations.
In these three months, Han Li opened three treasure chests and obtained three treasures. Unfortunately, there was nothing particularly eye-catching, making Han Li suspect that he had used up all his luck when he obtained the Heaven-defying Stone last time.
But he thought it was still good. He could consider them as stepping stones. When he advanced to the Universal Truth Realm, he might be able to open a Divine Soldier with a single strike.
Han Li put all three treasures into the Han Mansion's treasure vault, leaving them for future generations to exchange. They were of no use to him, but they would be useful for future generations.
Thinking of future generations, Han Li suddenly sighed.
In three months, Han Mansion had added several hundred descendants, but it had not yet reached 5,000. It was still lacking a bit. Currently, there were only 4,983, and it would take a few more days to obtain the reward.
The total number of descendants had increased by 380, and the number of talented descendants had increased by 185. The ratio was close to 2:1. Han Li felt it was quite good, and the gap had further narrowed.
Although Han Laozu's cultivation level had not yet reached the Universal Truth Realm, his lifespan was almost the same. His lifespan limit had increased to 9,733 years, and even the experts of the Universal Truth Realm could only live for 10,000 years.
Breaking through from the peak of the Divine Origin Realm to the Universal Truth Realm required 2,500 years of cultivation. Currently, Han Li had only accumulated 2,050 years, still lacking 450 years.
Han Li sighed because he couldn't advance to the Universal Truth Realm before the Dangyang Mountain incident erupted. The Dangyang Mountain incident could erupt at any time, and he still needed a few more days to gather enough cultivation.
When the number of descendants reached 5,000, Han Li would gain 600 years of cultivation. By then, he would have enough cultivation to break through to the Universal Truth Realm, but it was too late.
However, Han Li felt that it wasn't a big problem. With his combat power, dealing with these matters should be quite simple as long as no accidents occurred.
After retracting his gaze, Han Li looked towards the direction of the Great Qianjing City. His divine sense extended over, covering the entire city.
Now his divine sense is comparable to the fourth level of the Universal Truth Realm. If he were to go all out, the maximum coverage range could reach fifty million miles in radius. The distance between the Great Qianjing City and the Chengsheng Mountain is only two million miles.
Han Li saw that the Li Mansion in the capital city was bustling with preparations. None of his beautiful wives and concubines in the Li Mansion were in seclusion for cultivation. They all had an expression of anticipation in their eyes.
At first, only the beautiful wives of the Li Mansion, such as Chu Xianlin, Xue Qingyi, and Song Zhixuan, knew his true identity. Now, all the wives and concubines knew.
After all, the Li Mansion was about to merge with the Han Mansion, so they should be informed in advance to be prepared and avoid being caught off guard.
Not only the wives and concubines of the Li Mansion, but also the descendants of Han Li in the Li Mansion knew the truth. Even their names were changed back, all surnamed Han.
For example, Xue Qingyi's children were named Han Yonghuo, Han Yongyi, and so on. Chu Xianlin's children were named Han Yonglin, Han Yonglin, and so on. Song Zhixuan's children were named Han Yongzhi, Han Yongxuan, and so on. Feng Ziyue's children were named Han Yongfeng, Han Yongyue, and so on.
Qiu Shuhui was the last wife Han Li married in the Li Mansion. Currently, they only had one descendant named Han Yongyu.
In these three months, Han Li had fewer concubines. He only took in one concubine in the Li Mansion named Chen Duling, who came from a prominent family in the capital city.
The outside world speculated whether the master of the Li Mansion had changed his ways, but in fact, Han Li was preparing for the future. After the Dangyang Mountain incident ended and the two mansions merged, Han Li would implement new standards for taking in wives and concubines in the Xuan Realm.
Since then, only women with a beauty score of 85 or above and a talent level of fifth or fourth grade could become his concubines. Women with a beauty score of 90 or above and a talent level of third grade or above could become his wives.
This way, the number of wives and concubines would be greatly reduced, the quality would be improved, and some surplus would be left for the descendants of the Han Mansion.
After the Dangyang Mountain incident, Han Li planned to completely retire behind the scenes and manipulate the entire Qian Primordial Spirit Province. At that time, the descendants of the Han Mansion would travel throughout the Qian Primordial Spirit Province.
When these descendants went out for training, their cultivation levels would be very high. Soul Refining Realm would be the minimum, and there would be many Grandmasters in the Empty Void Realm. If a few more years passed, many outstanding descendants of the Han Mansion would reach the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and even the True Martial Realm.
Han Li withdrew his divine sense and was about to find his beautiful wives for dual cultivation when he noticed that Gong Sunyue had arrived by his side.
Under Han Li's cultivation, Gong Sunyue's cultivation base had made rapid progress. In less than a year since breaking through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, she had already reached the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. As for Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and others, they had even cultivated to the ninth level of the Myriad Manifestations Realm and were on the verge of breaking through to the True Martial Realm.
It wasn't just them. Xue Yueqing, Long Yue, Bai Keqing, Yao Xi, Murong Ying, and other wives, as well as Liu Yuexin, Qiu Yueyao, Li Mingmeng, Zhou Zhiruo, Chu Yumeng, and other concubines, had all made rapid progress in their cultivation.
There were six factors contributing to this phenomenon. Firstly, Han Li's cultivation had improved, leading to an enhancement in the effects of dual cultivation. Secondly, their aptitude had reached the second rank, naturally increasing their cultivation speed by many times.
Thirdly, the Sacred Mountain now had an emperor-grade lower-level dragon vein, with extremely abundant spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the Chengdao Peak was even better. Fourthly, there was a continuous supply of various elixirs that enhanced cultivation in the Myriad Manifestations Realm. With the Chengdao Bottle, the Han Family no longer lacked elixirs below the emperor-grade.
Fifthly, it was due to the cultivation techniques. The Han Family had more high-grade cultivation techniques, ranging from the True Martial Realm to the Holy Abyss Realm. They could directly learn powerful techniques and integrate them into the Yin Yang Five Elements Secret Technique, deducing perfect techniques that suited themselves.
With the improvement in the grade of the techniques, their cultivation speed would also increase significantly.
Sixthly, it was the influence of the Time Tower. Han Li's wives rarely went to the Enlightenment Peak and did not compete with their descendants for the cultivation areas within the Life-Prolonging Furnace. They directly entered the Time Tower for cultivation.
Since the Time Tower evolved into a top-grade emperor weapon, its auxiliary effects had greatly increased. The number of people who could cultivate inside had also multiplied. Even if all of Han Li's wives entered for cultivation, there would still be more than enough space.
The first three floors of the Time Tower could accommodate a total of 125,000 cultivators. Currently, including the guest officials, guards, and maidservants, there were less than 50,000 people in the Han Family.
In ancient times, only the most powerful supreme holy lands and sects could possess emperor weapons like the Time Tower. These supreme holy lands and sects had millions or even billions of disciples and followers. The quota for treasures like the Time Tower was simply not enough.
The Han Family was still far from being a supreme holy land or sect. With a relatively small population, many spots in the Time Tower were left vacant.
Because of this, Han Li had relaxed the standards and opened up some privileges to the guards, law protectors, guest officials, and even maidservants. They could exchange their contribution points for cultivation time in the Time Tower, motivating them to serve the Han Family wholeheartedly.
As for whether this will leak confidential information?
Han Li's answer is: definitely not!
The Han Mansion has several imperial weapons and has strict monitoring in this regard. As long as it is within the coverage range of the imperial weapons, if there is any tendency to leak information, there will be a warning the first time, and direct execution the second time.
As for running out of the coverage range of the imperial weapons?
This situation will not exist either. Even if the imperial weapons only recover part of their power, they can still monitor the entire Profound Domain. And those people don't have the ability to run that far.
Starting from the fourth floor, the Time Tower can accommodate a significantly reduced number of people, but the time acceleration effect is greatly increased.
The fourth floor can accommodate one thousand people, who can cultivate for two months inside while only one day passes outside; the fifth floor can accommodate two hundred people, six months; the sixth floor fifty people, one year; the seventh floor ten people, two years; the eighth floor five people, five years; the ninth floor one person, ten years.
According to the second version of Han Li's Time Tower usage and ranking plan, the descendants of the Han Mansion generally cultivate from the third floor to the fifth floor. The third floor is for ordinary descendants of the Han Mansion, the fourth floor is for the descendants on the priority cultivation list, and the fifth floor is for the descendants on the core cultivation list.
The third floor requires Myriad Manifestations Realm, the fourth floor requires True Martial Realm, and the fifth floor requires Divine Origin Realm cultivation. Naturally, the cultivation of these descendants is not enough, but their permissions are high enough to receive the blessings of the Time Tower and enter these tower levels for cultivation in advance.
Han Li's concubines mainly cultivate from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, while his wives mainly cultivate from the fifth floor to the sixth floor. Only Xueyue Qing and Longyue cultivate on the seventh floor.
The sixth floor of the Time Tower requires Universal Truth Realm cultivation, and the seventh floor requires Holy Abyss Realm cultivation. Gong Sunyue, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and other wives' cultivation levels are far behind. Even if they forcefully enter under the protection of the Time Tower, they won't be able to hold on for long.
Currently, the Han Mansion is the one using the Time Tower. The Li Mansion hasn't merged yet, so it is temporarily unused. However, Han Li has provided a compensation plan. After the merger, the wives, concubines, and descendants of the Li Mansion can cultivate in the Time Tower for a period of time.
"Husband, with the unsealing of the Dangyang Mountain this time, it shouldn't affect the entire Profound Domain, right?"
Gong Sunyue leaned in Han Li's arms, looking at the nearby surging sea of clouds, and asked softly.
As Han Li's wife, Gong Sunyue naturally knows the details. She also knows that major holy sites such as Baiyujing, Xumishan, and Zhongxingzhidian have sent Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors to deal with it.
"Yue'er, rest assured, with me here, even if there are accidents, Shengsheng Mountain and Tianxuan Mountain will not be affected."
Han Li knew what Gong Sunyue was worried about and said with a smile.
A month ago, he and Gong Sunyue returned to Tianxuan Mountain. This time, Han Li didn't deliberately hide his identity, and Gong Sunyue told Gong Sunyun everything that could be said.
Gong Sunyun was naturally shocked and horrified. When he learned that his precious daughter had been married by Han Li, his face turned black.
After learning that Gong Sunyue became Han Li's wife, his face eased a bit, but he still didn't like Han Li and almost regretted accepting him as a closed-door disciple.
With one careless move, his precious daughter was taken away by this disciple. The key is that this disciple is too promiscuous, with hundreds of wives and concubines. Gong Sunyue is just one of them. Gong Sunyun's face can't be good.
Later, Han Li took out four True Martial Pills and gave one to his master Gong Sunyun, and the other three to the three ancestors. Gong Sunyun's expression was complicated.
Now, with the help of the True Martial Pills, the second-generation ancestor has successfully broken through to the True Martial Realm. Gong Sunyun and the other three have also made significant progress in their cultivation. Before leaving, Han Li also left a lot of pills to enhance their cultivation in the Myriad Manifestations Realm.
"Mmm~"
Gong Sunyue nodded slightly, turned around, placed her two jade arms on Han Li's neck, tiptoed, and took the initiative to kiss him.
Han Laozu naturally wouldn't be polite. The two of them fought in a small area, then changed the location and began discussing the Dao.
Xuan Domain, the withered prosperity temple.
On the giant tree in the withered prosperity temple, a bare-chested monk sat cross-legged, hands clasped together, with Buddhist chants lingering and Buddha's light shining over a vast territory.
The withered prosperity Vajra and another Vajra sat beneath the giant tree, listening to the wonderful Buddhist chants, completely absorbed.
Suddenly, the Happy Arhat opened his eyes, and two beams of Buddha's light shot out, looking towards Dangyang Mountain. He spoke, "It's about time. Kuroyoshi, Wenfa, if there's any news, inform me immediately."
As his voice fell, the figure of the Happy Arhat disappeared from the withered prosperity temple, traversing the void and heading towards Dangyang Mountain.
He had been in Xuan Domain for over a year, originally intending to find Ye Fan, who had intercepted the Demon Queen Bai Keqing, and kill him, while also taking back Bai Keqing. However, after searching for a year and thoroughly investigating Xuan Domain, he had not found any trace.
Helpless, the Happy Arhat temporarily gave up and came to the withered prosperity temple to wait for the seal of Dangyang Mountain to be broken. At that time, he would join forces with those Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors.
As he traversed the void, the Happy Arhat pondered where Ye Fan and Bai Keqing had gone. As far as he knew, the Demon Queen Bai Keqing had not returned to the Demon Clan and was most likely still in Xuan Domain, just hiding too well.
The Dangyang Mountain incident was a great crisis and a great opportunity. Ye Fan was originally at the peak of the True Martial Realm, and he didn't know if he would come to take advantage of the situation.
If he could obtain an opportunity, he could smoothly advance from the peak of the True Martial Realm to the Divine Origin Realm, which was very tempting.
The Happy Arhat secretly anticipated that if Ye Fan appeared, he would directly take action and kill him first. After searching for a year without any results, the Happy Arhat had long since become impatient.
The Great Ancient Dynasty.
In the deepest part of the imperial palace forbidden area, inside a grand hall.
The dignified old man in black battle clothes stood up, looked towards Dangyang Mountain, sighed, and then his figure disappeared.
"Alas, I have no choice but to intervene under my watch."
As an ancestor of the Great Ancient Dynasty, the old man in black had not appeared for thousands of years, always focusing on cultivation, only wanting to break through to the Universal Truth Realm and become a powerful figure in his own right.
Only by becoming a Universal Truth Realm expert would he have more say in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province, and the Great Ancient Dynasty could occupy more territory in Xuan Domain. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
The forces of the Divine Origin Realm could only occupy one-third of a domain's territory at most, and they must not exceed this bottom line, otherwise they would be dealt with by the Four Great Holy Lands.
If this incident had happened in another domain, the old man in black wouldn't need to take action. But Dangyang Mountain was within the range of the Xuan Domain's Martial Emperor City, adjacent to the Great Ancient Dynasty.
The old man in black knew that once he made a move, his cultivation would be exposed, and it would be unrealistic to try to conceal it afterwards.
But he had no choice but to go, otherwise Bai Yujing, Mount Xumi, the Demon Temple, and the Divine Weapon Pavilion would teach him a lesson and give him a beating.
Martial Emperor City.
The Martial Emperor City Lord, who had been sitting motionless on the city wall for eight hundred years, stood up for the first time. The aura of the True Martial Realm's Sixth Heaven was revealed, and he looked solemnly towards Dangyang Mountain tens of thousands of miles away.
In fact, the Martial Emperor City Lord was overjoyed in his heart. He had been planning for hundreds of years, and today the seal of Dangyang Mountain would be completely broken, and it would be his turn to reap the rewards.
On the surface, he was at the True Martial Realm's Sixth Heaven, but in reality, he had long since cultivated back to the Universal Truth Realm. He was now a powerful figure at the Universal Truth Realm's Fourth Heaven.
Although there are no handy Holy Soldiers or quasi-emperor soldiers, the martial power of the Lord of the Martial Emperor City is much higher than his cultivation level. After all, he was a peak quasi-emperor in his previous life, cultivating the Heavenly Sovereign Realm Emperor's Scripture, mastering many quasi-emperor martial techniques, and even a few emperor-level martial techniques.
"As long as I obtain Chen Xilai's physical body, I will continue on the path and once again strive for the Heavenly Sovereign Realm."
The Lord of the Martial Emperor City muttered to himself in his heart. Now that everything is ready, he only lacks the final push. Once the Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors of the major holy sites go to deal with it, he can take advantage of the situation.
Once he obtains Chen Xilai's physical body, he can use a secret method to find the Tianxie Pearl. With the Tianxie Pearl, he will have hope of becoming a Great Emperor. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to even return to the quasi-emperor level in this life.
"In order to master the Heavenly Sovereign Dao, anyone who obstructs me will die!"
Tens of thousands of miles away, on Dangyang Mountain.
Many powerful figures have already stood on Dangyang Mountain. When the seal on Dangyang Mountain is completely broken, they will all awaken.
Qingshuang Fairy of Penglai Immortal Sect, Lu Zhen, the third palm teacher of Baiyujing, Liman Huang, the pinnacle of the stars, Xuehai Mo Huang of the Demon Temple, and Jiang Taijing, the spear emperor of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
The five Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors stood in five different directions, looking at Dangyang Mountain with different expressions.
"Fellow Daoists, Chen Xilai, the Heavenly Sword, is currently weak and can only barely match the Divine Origin Realm in terms of aura. The few of us can handle it completely without waiting for others."
Blood Sea Mo Huang of the Demon Temple was the first to speak, stepping on a blood-colored lotus platform, his expression gloomy.
Every major holy site and sect had a share in sealing the mad Chen Xilai back then, leaving behind means to steal his cultivation for the future disciples to have an opportunity.
But this opportunity was limited to only seven shares.
This time, there were more than seven forces coming to deal with the Dangyang Mountain incident. In addition to Baiyujing, Xumi Mountain, and Wanyao Mountain, there were also the Mingwang Heaven and the Great Ancient Dynasty, two Divine Origin Realm forces.
Even if the Demon Emperor Xueyueqing of Wanyao Mountain had disappeared and Wanyao Mountain had given up on the opportunity of Dangyang Mountain this time, there were still eight Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors.
Eight Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors competing for seven opportunities would not be good if there were casualties. No one had the certainty of victory.
It would be better to take advantage of the current situation where there were fewer people and quickly deal with Chen Xilai. They could each obtain an opportunity, and then calmly compete for the remaining two opportunities.
"I agree."
"I have no objections."
Liman Huang of the pinnacle of the stars and Jiang Taijing, the spear emperor of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, expressed their opinions.
Blood Sea Mo Huang looked at Ling Qingshuang of Penglai Immortal Sect and Lu Zhen of Baiyujing, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you two think?"
Lu Zhen glanced at Ling Qingshuang and said indifferently, "I don't care about the opportunity, but I have to take away Chen Xilai's physical body."
Baiyujing had an extremely profound heritage. As one of the three palm teachers of Baiyujing, Lu Zhen didn't think much of the opportunity at Dangyang Mountain. His other purpose for coming this time was to obtain Chen Xilai's physical body.
His master had once pointed out to him that Chen Xilai's physical body was of utmost importance. If he could bring it back to Baiyujing, he might be able to deduce the red pearl from the Emperor's Weapon.
The previous generation's Dao Lord of Baiyujing had once pursued that red pearl, but ultimately failed to obtain it.
The previous Dao Lord had left behind some information, stating that when the seal on Dangyang Mountain was broken, they must seize Chen Xilai's physical body as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Blood Sea Mo Huang narrowed his eyes, Liman Huang frowned slightly, and Jiang Taijing remained expressionless. They all had their own thoughts about Chen Xilai's physical body.
Originally, they had planned to act in secret, but they didn't expect Bai Yujing's Sanzhangjiao Lu Zhen to be so direct. It seems that they will have to rely on their own abilities when the time comes.
"I have no objections," said Qing Shuang, the Fairy of Penglai Xianzong, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Now that everyone agrees to act in advance, let's begin. As for Chen Xilai's physical body, we will rely on our own abilities when the time comes," said the Blood Sea Demon Emperor in a deep voice.
"Okay," nodded Lu Zhen, Jiang Taijing, Ling Qingshuang, and Li Manhuang.
Immediately, the five Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors summoned their respective sacred weapons, which floated above their heads, radiating holy light to protect themselves and prevent any accidents before they were ready to take action.
"Hold on!" At this moment, two voices sounded simultaneously in the heavens and earth.
Lu Zhen, Ling Qingshuang, the Blood Sea Demon Emperor, Li Manhuang, and Jiang Taijing frowned and looked towards the source of the voices. They saw two figures crossing the void from different directions.
In the next instant, the Happy Arhat in Buddhist robes appeared, and from another direction, the Lord of the Underworld, the Tianzhu of the Dark King, also arrived. He was a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, holding a white feather folding fan in his hand.
"You fellow daoists are really unkind. How can you start without everyone being present?" said the Happy Arhat with a smile, sounding a little displeased.
The Lord of the Underworld glanced at Chen Xilai at the foot of Mount Dangyang, smiled, and said nothing more.
The Blood Sea Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when ripples appeared in the void. A Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor arrived, and it was none other than the belated Xuan Yi Lao Zu of the Great Ancient Dynasty.
"Gu Wu Ling, you're really late. You might as well not come," said the Blood Sea Demon Emperor indifferently, venting his dissatisfaction on Gu Wu Ling.
If Gu Wu Ling hadn't come, there would have been exactly seven of them, just enough to divide the opportunities into seven parts.
"Blood Sea Demon Emperor, I didn't want to come either, but I had no choice," sighed Gu Wu Ling, ignoring his dissatisfaction.
Li Manhuang said lightly, "Then you can just watch here."
"That won't do. Since I'm here, I should have a share of the opportunity," said Gu Wu Ling with a somewhat firm tone.
It was unreasonable to ask him to contribute but not give him any benefits.
In any case, their strengths would be exposed, so they might as well secure the opportunities first.
Tens of thousands of miles away from Mount Dangyang, there was a small mountain that was thousands of feet high. The figure of the City Lord of the Martial Emperor City appeared here, using a secret technique to hide his aura. He watched the happenings on Mount Dangyang expressionlessly.
Even though they were separated by tens of thousands of miles, he could clearly hear and see everything happening on Mount Dangyang. At this moment, this former peak quasi-emperor was very unhappy.
The situation he least wanted to see had occurred.
He had originally thought that the various sacred sites in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province didn't pay much attention to Chen Xilai's physical body, after all, the Tianxie Pearl had disappeared thousands of years ago. But he had miscalculated.
These people actually have the same idea as him, they all want to use Chen Xilai's physical body, the Red-Haired Monster, to search for the Heavenly Sovereign Realm treasure, the Tianxie Pearl.
"You're forcing me."
A flash of murderous intent crossed the eyes of the Lord of the Martial Emperor City. No matter what, he had to obtain Chen Xilai's physical body. Only then could he retrieve the Tianxie Pearl and achieve enlightenment in this world, seeking revenge against the Empress Yuan Chu.
The fleeting murderous intent was well concealed by the Lord of the Martial Emperor City, without alerting the eight Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors standing tall on the Dangyang Mountain.
Looking at the holy soldiers on the heads of those Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors, the Lord of the Martial Emperor City felt a headache. Although his realm and strength far surpassed these Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors, it would not be easy to deal with them without holy soldiers in hand.
Luzhen, Ling Qingshuang, Liman Huang, Xuehai Mo Huang, Huanxi Luohan, and Jiang Taijing, these six Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors came from the Holy Land Great Sect and all carried holy soldiers with them.
Although the Ancient Imperial Dynasty's Gu Wuling and the Heavenly Lord of the Underworld, Tianzhu, were both the masters of Divine Origin Realm forces, these two seemed to have mastered holy soldiers and could easily unleash part of their power. If they were willing to pay the price, they could also fully revive the holy soldiers.
"Damn it!"
The Lord of the Martial Emperor City cursed inwardly, but dared not mention the name of the Empress Yuan Chu, fearing that she would sense it in some mysterious way.
The Empress Yuan Chu had comprehended the power of creation, and her realm had long reached the peak of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Her strength was unfathomable, and the Lord of the Martial Emperor City did not dare to gamble.
It was just a pity that his quasi-emperor weapon and those holy soldiers were all destroyed by the Empress Yuan Chu with a punch that crossed through time and space. He only had his true spirit residing in a ray of Primordial Spirit light, barely surviving.
"It seems that this matter needs to be carefully considered."
Sighing, the Lord of the Martial Emperor City thought with frustration.
Originally, he wanted to disguise himself as a mysterious Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor and participate in the action, taking advantage of the chaos to take away Chen Xilai's physical body.
But in this situation, he didn't want to reveal himself immediately. The six Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors from the Holy Land Great Sect all regarded Chen Xilai's physical body as their target. Even if he wanted to take advantage of the chaos, he couldn't do it.
Even if he displayed all his strength and paid a huge price to use forbidden secret techniques to barely unleash the power of the Holy Abyss Realm, it would be useless. If he were attacked by the eight holy soldiers, he wouldn't be able to withstand it and would be directly killed.
The Lord of the Martial Emperor City looked at the constantly debating eight Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors, silently waiting, preparing to be a praying mantis catching cicadas while the yellow sparrow is behind.
For the opportunity and Chen Xilai's physical body, these Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors were destined to have a bloody battle. As long as he found the right opportunity to make a move, he still had a chance to succeed.
It's just that the Lord of the Martial Emperor City didn't know that there was a pair of eyes watching him from above, capturing all his expressions.
The Lord of the Martial Emperor City wanted to be the yellow sparrow, while Han Li was the one catching the yellow sparrow.
After the seal on the Dangyang Mountain was officially broken, causing a disturbance in the Profound Domain and creating a huge wave, Han Li naturally arrived at the scene for the first time.
With the Emperor Formation Diagram covering him, and the Void Bell and Time Heaven Tower hanging from his wrists, concealing the heavenly secrets and confusing time and space, no one noticed him, not even those Universal Truth Realm powerhouses who were peeping at this place from within the Holy Land's mountain gate.
Han Li wandered around and unexpectedly discovered that there was still someone lurking tens of thousands of miles away from the Dangyang Mountain, wanting to sit back and watch the tigers fight, waiting to reap the benefits.
What surprised him was that this person was actually the Lord of the Martial Emperor City, the True Martial Realm Martial King who had always been neutral.
There were rumors outside that the Lord of the Martial Emperor City was only at the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, but Han Li discovered that the Lord of the Martial Emperor City was truly hiding his true strength. He was actually a hidden Universal Truth Realm powerhouse.
A Universal Truth Realm powerhouse lurking here must have a purpose other than the opportunities in the Dangyang Mountain. After all, those opportunities were only of great use to Divine Origin Realm or True Martial Realm cultivators. So, what was the Lord of the Martial Emperor City here for?
After observing for a while, Han Li discovered that the Lord of the Martial Emperor City surprisingly did not possess a Holy Soldier. Otherwise, with a Holy Soldier to conceal himself, he wouldn't have been so easily discovered by Han Li.
After pondering for a while, Han Li had a bold idea: the Lord of the Martial Emperor City was likely a reincarnation of a powerful cultivator above the Universal Truth Realm.
Otherwise, given the current cultivation environment in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province, it would be almost impossible for a powerful independent cultivator at the Universal Truth Realm to appear.
Thousands of years ago, there was a Tian Daoist named Chen Xi, and thousands of years later, there was a Lord of the Martial Emperor City, who happened to be lurking not far from the sealed location of Chen Xi.
"How interesting," Han Li chuckled lightly, retracting his gaze from observing the Lord of the Martial Emperor City and looking towards the Dangyang Mountain.
His gaze passed over the Xuan Yi Elder of the Great Ancient Dynasty, the Lord of the Mingwang Heaven, the Blood Sea Demon Emperor of the Demon Hall, Jiang Taijing of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and the Power Barbarian Emperor of the Summit of Stars, and finally landed on the last three individuals.
"What a remarkable Lu Zhen."
Seeing the Three Palm Sect's Lu Zhen, Han Li couldn't help but praise. This Lu Zhen was truly extraordinary, possessing a special physique.
However, Lu Zhen's origin of this special physique was damaged, and Han Li wondered what he had experienced. Otherwise, if his origin was intact, Lu Zhen would have long since cultivated to the Universal Truth Realm in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province's number one holy land, the Baiyu Capital.
With a flicker in his eyes, Han Li wondered if he could abduct Lu Zhen and make him a guest elder at his Chengsheng Mountain. He had a way to restore Lu Zhen's origin.
It would be best if Lu Zhen could become a son-in-law, and then perhaps he could give birth to a descendant with a special physique for the Han Family.
As for Lu Zhen pursuing Ling Qingshuang?
Was that really the case?
Wasn't Fairy Qingshuang already Han Laozu's Dao companion?
Even if they weren't currently, they would be soon.
Han Li shifted his gaze away from Lu Zhen and looked at Ling Qingshuang, the fairy of the Penglai Immortal Sect, a smile appearing on his face. She was his intended Dao companion.
The Old Daoist Guanhai of the Penglai Immortal Sect had tricked him last time, and Han Li had always kept it in mind. Bringing Fairy Qingshuang back to Chengsheng Mountain as his Dao companion and having children was just the first step.
Finally, Han Li's gaze fell on the Happy Arhat, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
In the past year, the Happy Arhat had been wandering around the Profound Domain, and Han Li knew exactly what his purpose was. Han Li had long wanted to kill him, but he had been restraining himself.
After all, it hadn't been long since the disappearance of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing. If a Arhat from the Mount Xumi were to die as well, it would definitely cause a huge shock, and it might not be possible to keep it hidden.
Mount Xumi was not the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and in the territory of the Human Race, they wouldn't hesitate to provoke them. That female Bodhisattva was also very protective.
So Han Li had been waiting, waiting for the right moment to kill this Happy Arhat.
In addition to that, Han Li was also casting a long line to catch a big fish. He wanted to see if he could use the Happy Arhat to lure the female Bodhisattva.
Now that he had the Emperor Formation Diagram with him, as well as the Time Tower and the Void Bell, which he carried with him at all times, he could fully recover at any time. If the female Bodhisattva were to make a mistake, there was a good chance that Han Li could capture her directly.
By then, he could truly "marry the Bodhisattva before obtaining the scriptures, not betraying the Buddha nor betraying you."
While Han Li was contemplating, a great battle broke out among the eight Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors on Dangyang Mountain.
