Chapter 184: Bai Keqing's Shock, Emperor's Void Bell! The Dragon Maiden's End!
Chengsheng Mountain, Han Mansion.
Han Li was standing at the peak of Chengdao Peak, seemingly enjoying the scenery, but in reality, most of his attention was focused on cultivation.
The Demon Queen Bai Keqing floated up in her blue dress and succinctly said, "Husband, shall we cultivate together?"
In the past five or six years of dual cultivation, her cultivation level had advanced from the first level of the True Martial Realm to the fourth level of the True Martial Realm, greatly increasing her strength. Bai Keqing had thoroughly enjoyed this progress.
She felt very happy in Han Mansion, whether it was enjoying the pleasure of battle or the joy of life.
In Han Mansion, she had also learned many Heaven Grade high-quality and Heaven Grade top-grade martial arts techniques. She even changed her main cultivation method, which was now a fusion of the Yin Yang Five Elements Technique, almost reaching the level of a Heaven Grade top-grade cultivation method.
Here, she didn't need to compete for resources. Han Li would provide her with a large amount of cultivation resources. Bai Keqing rarely cultivated cultivation methods anymore and focused on practicing martial arts. After all, her cultivation could rapidly improve through dual cultivation with her husband, Han Li.
Han Li shook his head slightly and said, "Qingqing, not today."
Today, he was going to become a Dragon Knight, advancing from the Demonic Subduing Ancestor to the Subduing Dragon Ancestor. He couldn't be distracted by Bai Keqing, the Demon Queen.
Bai Keqing looked disappointed. She enjoyed dual cultivation not only because it could quickly improve her cultivation, but also because she loved the process. Han Li was powerful and unparalleled, satisfying her and conquering her.
"Did husband provoke Xiangxiang and Jiangjiang today? Actually, I don't mind being with them," Bai Keqing said, unwilling to give up.
When she was brought by Han Li, she still held onto her identity, but now she had long recognized the reality and accepted her lowly position. As long as her cultivation could improve, it was enough.
Han Li continued to shake his head and said, "No."
"Then did husband provoke Mingmeng and Yiwu today?"
"Also not."
"Is husband going to the Li Mansion?"
"Not going."
After this conversation, Bai Keqing's face showed a look of surprise. This was not like her husband's style.
Han Li would flip the cards every day, and sometimes many cards would be flipped in one night. But today, Han Li behaved like a saint, not being attracted by hundreds of stunning beauties?
Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Bai Keqing's mind, and she blurted out, "Husband, do you have a new love?"
Only when Han Li is marrying a new wife or concubine does he act like this, but it has been a long time since he married a wife, and he only marries a concubine every six months. It's not time to marry a concubine yet.
Han Li nodded with a smile.
Confirming her guess, Bai Keqing continued to ask, "Is my husband going to marry a wife or take a concubine?"
Before Han Li could respond, Bai Keqing sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that you can't temporarily return to the Demon Realm, I would have wanted to bring some beautiful female cultivators from the demon race to my husband."
She did have this idea. There are many beautiful female cultivators in the demon race who meet Han Li's standards for marrying a wife or taking a concubine.
She can't speak for others, but her own clan is capable. With just one command from her, all the beautiful female cultivators with sixth-grade aptitude or above in her clan would eagerly sign up and marry into the Han family one after another.
However, she can't return to the demon race temporarily, and her husband is so low-key that she can't openly do these things. The Xuan Realm is also far away from the Demon Realm, so there are various reasons why Bai Keqing cannot implement this plan.
"Marrying a wife, and you know her too," Han Li's face revealed a hint of mystery.
"I know her?" Bai Keqing was astonished.
In the Xuan Realm, she doesn't know anyone from the human race, let alone a beautiful female cultivator. Could it be someone from the demon race?
"My husband has captured Lady Xueyueqing?" Bai Keqing asked weakly.
Among the demon race, there are only three or four female demon kings at the True Martial Realm. Apart from her, the others have long been married as demon wives. It seems that her husband doesn't like this kind of thing.
There are still many beautiful female cultivators in the demon race at the Myriad Manifestations Realm who are still virgins. But according to her husband's character, it is unlikely that he would go to the demon race to capture demon women, as it would cause a lot of trouble.
So it is very likely that it is Lady Xueyueqing.
She is Lady Xueyueqing's confidante. After being rescued by her husband from the Jiaosheng Secret Realm, she has not returned to the Demon Realm's Wan Yao Mountain to report for a long time, and her life lamp has not been extinguished. So Lady Xueyueqing is likely to come looking for her.
Especially in recent years, with the sudden turmoil in the Xuan Realm, all the major holy sites are paying attention. One by one, Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors are leaving the mountains and rushing to the Xuan Realm. Lady Xueyueqing is very likely to be in Wan Yao Mountain.
To be fair, whether from a public or private perspective, Bai Keqing doesn't want her husband to capture Lady Xueyueqing.
"I do want to capture Lady Xueyueqing, but she hasn't come to the Xuan Realm yet, and I can't just go to the Demon Realm," Han Li smiled and said with some helplessness.
Bai Keqing breathed a sigh of relief, but also secretly sighed. Her husband really has this idea, and although she doesn't want it, she didn't say it out loud.
"Then who is my husband's new wife?"
"You'll know in a moment," Han Li said with a smile.
Bai Keqing gave him a disdainful look. Did he really need to keep her in suspense?
Nestled in Han Li's arms, Bai Keqing was curious about who her husband was going to marry.
After a while, Han Li suddenly said, "She's here."
Bai Keqing looked around. What was coming? It was just the two of them on the peak of Chengdao Mountain.
Just as she was thinking this, Bai Keqing turned around and her pupils contracted.
Behind them, a figure walked out of the void. The appearance of that figure was exactly the same as her husband, Han Li.
She looked at Han Li, who was holding her, and then at the figure behind them, her eyes filled with undisguised shock.
When did her husband learn such a powerful martial technique?
Wait a minute, traversing the void and teleporting, is this something that only a peak True Martial Realm Martial Emperor can do?
Her husband is indeed a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor!
After the shock, Bai Keqing regained her composure and looked around. Where was her husband's new wife?
Han Li said she was here, but all she saw was another Han Li appearing, without any other figures.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. Bai Keqing looked up at Han Li, waiting for an explanation. If he was joking, she would definitely punish Han Li tonight.
"Keqing, take a look," Han Li said, lightly holding her waist and biting her earlobe, then turning around.
She saw Han Li's Dao Avatar extend his right hand and open it, revealing a miniature dragon woman in the palm of his hand. The dragon woman looked confused and lost, her mood in a mess.
She was about to steal the Qi Luck Golden Dragon of the Great Qian Dynasty, but unexpectedly encountered a Universal Truth Realm old monster. With just one palm, he suppressed her.
At first, she thought Han Li was a late-stage Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor, but after a real fight, she realized that she had greatly underestimated this guy's strength.
She had seen this old monster once before. Back then, she didn't even pay attention to him, thinking he was just a small cultivator. This contrast made the dragon woman extremely uncomfortable.
As the Dragon Saint, she was high above, shaking the entire Eight Hundred Divine Continent. But at this moment, she was held in the palm of someone's hand, like a small loach, without any resistance.
"Dragon Woman?!" Bai Keqing exclaimed when she saw the petite figure in Han Li's Dao Avatar's palm.
How did her husband capture this reincarnation of the Dragon Saint?
After carefully observing, she confirmed that she hadn't mistaken. She had fought against the Dragon Woman before and was deeply impressed by her figure, temperament, and attire.
Looking at the Dragon Woman and then at her husband, Bai Keqing suddenly had a bold guess. Could it be that her husband secretly cultivated to the Universal Truth Realm?
During the battle in the Dragon Saint's secret realm several years ago, the Dragon Woman's strength was already unmatched. After retrieving the Dragon Pearl, her cultivation speed would be even faster. Even if she hadn't reached the Divine Origin Realm, she would have combat power comparable to the Divine Origin Realm.
But this seemingly Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor Dragon Woman was now in her husband's palm, sealed and reduced to such a small size. This kind of great supernatural power was very similar to the legendary abilities of a Universal Truth Realm expert.
Recalling the moment when the other Han Li walked out of the void just now, she felt that it was too easy. She had seen Senior Xueyueqing cross the void, but she couldn't do it to this extent, not even close.
"Keqing, you should go back first," Han Li said.
Although Bai Keqing had many doubts in her mind, she didn't ask any further. She obediently agreed and took a deep look at the Dragon Woman before disappearing from the peak of Chengdao Mountain.
Since her husband had captured the Dragon Woman, it would be difficult for her to cultivate together for some time. She would have to come up with another plan.
After Bai Keqing left, Han Li waved his right hand lightly, and the Dragon Woman fell to the ground and returned to her original form, her figure growing larger.
With a single thought, he retracted his Dao Avatar and smiled as he looked at the Dragon Woman, not saying a word.
The Dragon Woman had a very young appearance, as if she were in her teens. She wore a colorful light dress that perfectly outlined her graceful curves, highlighting her beauty.
Her eyebrows were like ink, her eyes clear like crystal, her skin fair as snow. She had a slender waist that could be held with one hand, and her three thousand strands of soft green hair fluttered in the wind.
Although her face was covered by a thin veil, it couldn't hide her exquisite features. Under the veil, her beautiful eyes flowed, making the sun and moon lose their luster.
The Dragon Woman, whose cultivation was sealed, had lost the coldness that kept people at a distance and appeared very weak.
Han Li remained silent, and Long Yueqing didn't speak either. She carefully observed Han Li, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind.
She was thinking about how to escape. The current situation was very unfavorable for her, as she hadn't fully regained her cultivation from her previous life, and she hadn't even reached the Universal Truth Realm. Yet, she was caught by a Universal Truth Realm expert. This was a huge setback.
Her identity is known to all, she is the reincarnation of the Dragon Saint, and the Dragon Pearl of her previous life is also in her hands. If this old monster is plotting against her for her Dragon Pearl, then her future is in danger.
The Dao Fruit of the Holy Abyss Realm is also very attractive to the powerful beings of the Universal Truth Realm. Long Yue is not sure if this person had already discovered her plans and was lying in wait, or if he just happened to stumble upon her.
If it's the former, then she is likely to perish, but if it's the latter, then there is still hope for her to escape.
"Little Dragon Girl, once you fall into the hands of the Ancestor, you should accept your fate," Han Li said with a smile, as if he knew what Long Yue was thinking.
Before capturing Long Yue, he had already manifested five Dao bodies, guarding the five directions of heaven and earth. The five powerful beings of the Universal Truth Realm formed a great formation, isolating the inside from the outside.
Even if Long Yue had a means to traverse the heavens, with her cultivation only at the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, it would be impossible for her to forcefully break out, especially since her cultivation had been sealed by him.
Long Yue raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Little Dragon Girl? Do you know who I am?"
"I lived for tens of thousands of years in my previous life, while you, a cultivator of the Universal Truth Realm, have only lived for a mere few thousand years. You are nothing more than a child in my eyes, daring to call yourself an Ancestor in front of me. Who gave you the courage?"
Long Yue found it laughable. She was nearly forty thousand years old, while this person was only in the Universal Truth Realm, not even surpassing ten thousand years.
At this moment, Long Yue felt somewhat like a dragon playing in shallow water, being toyed with by a shrimp.
Although she had fallen into this person's hands, the Dragon Saint's arrogance did not allow her to bow her head. In her previous life, she had faced the Great Saints in a sorry state.
"In my previous life, it was nothing more than a fig leaf. Ancestor, I only seek longevity and eternity in this life, to stand tall in the heavens for all eternity."
Han Li stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Long Yue, speaking in a calm tone, the first time he had spoken of his ambitions to someone.
"In this life, you are only a little over a hundred years old, already cultivating to the seventh level of the True Martial Realm. Although you have the foundation of your previous life to assist you, you can still be considered a remarkable talent. But compared to me, you are still far behind."
"Here with the Ancestor, you can only ever be the Little Dragon Girl."
"Hehe~" Long Yue sneered, no longer arguing with him about this issue. She walked to his side and said lightly, "Your ambitions are too great, you cannot bear the weight."
"I have seen too many peerless talents, unrivaled geniuses. Their achievements are more brilliant and dazzling than yours. Some are quasi-emperors who shook the Eight Hundred Divine Continents, and some are invincible emperors. But they all fell on the path to longevity, turning into a pile of bones."
"These astonishing geniuses throughout history were unable to overcome the tribulations of becoming an emperor or an immortal. What makes you think you can? Even Celestial Immortals can only live for one epoch, and you still want eternity? You want to stand tall in the heavens for all eternity? Do you think you are the supreme Immortal Emperor? How laughable!"
"You have not experienced the brilliance of the ancient era to its extreme, that is your tragedy. Being born in this era is also your fortune. Without countless geniuses competing with you, you were able to luckily cultivate to the Universal Truth Realm. But this does not mean that you are more astonishing than those peerless geniuses of the ancient era, who shone in their own era."
"A cultivator like you can be a king and dominate in the present era, claiming to be the master. But in ancient times, there were countless individuals like you, so ordinary that they were nothing worth praising."
"I have traveled through the eight hundred continents of the Yuan Kun Territory in search of immortality. I have sought guidance from the Great Emperor. I have discussed the Dao with various saints. I have even fought against the Great Sage. You are not even comparable to me, let alone those astonishing geniuses throughout history."
As Long Yue spoke, she became more and more excited, reminiscing about the glory of her past life, as if she had returned to that magnificent and prosperous era.
Han Li sneered and said, "You don't even have the belief to stand shoulder to shoulder with those astonishing geniuses, let alone surpass them. No wonder you died shortly after becoming a saint."
"If I had lived in ancient times, the pinnacle of that era would have been created by me. Those so-called astonishing geniuses and peerless talents would ultimately be nothing but a handful of dry bones."
"I don't need to compete with those astonishing geniuses throughout history. As long as I live long enough and endure, the heavens and the universe will eventually let me roam freely."
At this point, Han Li paused and did not continue speaking. He would never reveal his own secrets to anyone.
"You are too presumptuous." Long Yue did not agree with Han Li's philosophy.
At first, she had the same lofty aspirations as Han Li, but after being beaten countless times by the cultivation world, she had to lower her head.
Moreover, competition is inevitable. There is no use in being complacent! Without cultivation resources, opportunities, and encounters, relying solely on hard work, no one can make continuous progress. They will be firmly blocked by their realm, unable to break through to the next level. Without enough lifespan to continue cultivation, how can they outlast those astonishing geniuses?
Only someone like Han Li, who lives in the future, would have such thoughts.
Han Li did not explain and ended the topic, saying, "Xiao Longnv, don't even think about shaking the Dao heart of the old ancestor and finding a chance to escape. With the means of the old ancestor, no one in the Primordial Spirit Territory can surpass me."
"Is that so?"
Long Yue's expression remained unchanged, but she was somewhat disappointed. She had said so much just to make this person reveal a flaw.
Unsealing her cultivation base was not very difficult for her. As long as Han Li revealed a flaw, she could pay a price to unseal her cultivation base and directly borrow a portion of the power of her past life's Dao fruit to break free and escape from the Primordial Spirit Territory.
Unsealing her cultivation base and borrowing the power of her past life's Dao fruit required time. If Han Li did not reveal a flaw, he could instantly perceive her actions, causing her plan to fail.
Sighing inwardly, Long Yue decided to find another opportunity. She only had one chance to unseal her cultivation base, so she couldn't act recklessly without certainty. If Han Li noticed, it would be even more difficult for her to escape.
After thinking for a moment, Long Yue continued, "No one in the Primordial Spirit Territory can surpass you? You can actually say such words. It seems like you don't put the powerhouses of the White Jade Capital, Mount Xumi, and the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain in your eyes."
"Don't even mention you, a cultivator in the Universal Truth Realm. Even if I were to restore my cultivation base to the Holy Abyss Realm of my past life, I wouldn't dare say such things in the Primordial Spirit Territory. The imperial weapons and immortal treasures of the sacred lands are not decorations. A single strike could easily annihilate you."
Smiling, Han Li did not explain. His trump cards were impossible to reveal, not even his beautiful wives and concubines knew, let alone Xiaolongnü, his newlywed wife who had not yet entered the door.
In these six years, although he had not gone to the Sacred Mountain Secret Realm to obtain the ancient treasures of the Life Nurturing Furnace, he still obtained many good things.
The system's treasure chest function allowed him to open a free treasure chest once a year. In the past six years, he had opened it six times for free.
In addition to that, he also had three opportunities to open a paid treasure chest each month. Han Li was not greedy and only used five years of cultivation to open a treasure chest once a month.
In the past six years, he had opened a total of seventy-two paid treasure chests, consuming a total of three hundred and sixty years of cultivation (although it wasn't mentioned before, I included it in my writing).
Seventy-eight treasure chests, each chest could yield treasures ranging from Heaven Grade lower quality to Emperor Grade top quality, bringing Han Li a large number of good things.
Sixty-four Heaven Grade treasures, including cultivation techniques, martial arts, pills, pill formulas, talismans, formation diagrams, and more, greatly enhancing the foundation of the Han Family.
Han Li also obtained thirteen divine-grade treasures, including a divine-grade superior divine blade, a divine-grade top-quality divine sword, as well as pills, formation discs, divine medicines, and more at the Universal Truth Realm and Holy Abyss Realm levels.
But the treasure that Han Li valued the most was only one, and that was an Emperor's weapon, a true Emperor's weapon, ranked as Emperor Grade top quality, named the [Void Bell].
At that time, Han Li couldn't help but laugh. This was his luckiest moment.
It was precisely because of the Emperor's weapon, the Void Bell, that Han Li had the confidence to say such words.
A top-notch Emperor's weapon, with its spirit recognizing him as its master, was a hundred times more useful and loyal than those Emperor's weapons and immortal treasures that were usually just decorations in the sacred land.
"Stop!"
"What do you want to do?"
A hint of panic flashed across Long Yue's face when she realized that Han Li had leaned over and embraced her slender waist.
The strong masculine aura overwhelmed her, making Long Yue very uncomfortable. There was a moment when she wanted to explode completely, but she held back. The time was not right yet.
"What do you want to do?"
Han Li leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "I want to have some fun with you, my dear."
Long Yue was shocked. She didn't expect this old monster to have such desires for her body. He was truly despicable!
She was about to activate the Dragon Pearl at all costs and kill this thief, even if it meant affecting her path in this life.
Being embraced by Han Li, she could barely endure it. But Han Li lusting after her body was absolutely intolerable.
But in the next moment, her expression froze, her face became blank. She felt a trace of imperial might locking onto her, causing her soul to tremble.
That's right, it was imperial might!
Although Long Yue didn't know where Han Li got the Emperor's weapon from, she didn't think she was mistaken. She had seen true Emperor's weapons in her previous life, and she even had a quasi-Emperor's weapon herself.
She finally understood why this shameless old monster had the audacity to say such things.
It wasn't just empty boasting, he truly had an invincible foundation.
This person had an Emperor's weapon, and he could even activate it. This realization left Long Yue's mind in turmoil for a long time. She gave up the idea of fighting to the death.
Locked onto by an Emperor's weapon, even if she borrowed all her cultivation from her previous life, she wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow and would be easily annihilated.
Letting out a sigh in her heart, Long Yue decided to endure these humiliations and bear the burden. She still had a chance, and there was a long road ahead.
Han Li's large hand moved restlessly on her flat abdomen, causing Long Yue's delicate body to tremble uncontrollably. Han Li also bit Long Yue's earlobe and blew gently.
"Continue," he said softly. "Let this old man see what other trump cards you have."
Just now, he sensed the hidden killing intent in Long Yue and directly communicated with the Void Bell hidden in the void, releasing its imperial might as a warning to her.
The Void Bell was an Emperor's weapon of top quality. In theory, he couldn't refine it at all, and it was extremely difficult to activate it with his true essence. It would consume a massive amount of true essence to unleash even a trace of its power.
But the Void Bell was a product of the system, completely refined by Han Li. The consumption when he activated it was greatly reduced, and the Void Bell could also autonomously recover and use the energy it had accumulated to fight.
This was something that those sacred land's Emperor's weapons and immortal treasures found difficult to achieve. They rarely recovered on their own and stored their energy. To unleash their power, the sacred land needed to provide a massive amount of high-level energy.
Long Yue fell silent.
She hadn't expected to end up in this situation.
When she came, she was still the lofty Dragon Maiden, but not long after, she was brought down from her divine pedestal by this Universal Truth Realm old monster. This old monster was especially cunning and sinister, and most importantly, he actually possessed an Emperor's weapon.
"If you don't move, this old man will move," Han Li extended his tongue and licked her face.
Long Yue's delicate body froze instantly.
