Chapter 180 Divine Origin Realm Combat Power! Kill Chu Dinggan! The Health Furnace Is Here! Five Div
Chapter 180: Divine Origin Realm Battle Power! Killing Chu Dingqian! The Appearance of the Life-Preserving Furnace! The Five Great Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors!
At this moment, a tremendously powerful aura emanated from the sleeping chamber, shooting up into the sky as if it wanted to shake the heavens. Fortunately, it was concealed by a great formation, otherwise, half of the Great Qian Dynasty would be able to witness this breakthrough anomaly.
No one knew that Han Li, who was renowned in the Profound Domain, was currently in seclusion, attempting to break through. He was only at the first level of the True Martial Realm, but the outside world believed him to be an unparalleled powerhouse at the peak of the True Martial Realm.
When Han Li's thoughts stirred, the accumulated cultivation on the panel began to rapidly deplete. Every minute and every second, many years of cultivation were consumed to enhance Han Li's strength.
In an instant, Han Li entered a state of enlightenment, beginning to practice martial arts, comprehend the profound, and create laws. He remained in this state for a very long time, with each moment equivalent to a hundred years, continuously perfecting the embryonic form of his all-encompassing martial dao.
In reality, a moment in the state of enlightenment was equivalent to a hundred years. This caused the degree of perfection of Han Li's all-encompassing martial dao to continuously skyrocket, advancing towards a profound and mysterious realm.
51% 60% 70%
With each passing century, Han Li's comprehension of the embryonic form of the all-encompassing martial dao became much deeper. Countless martial dao mysteries were grasped by him, and endless principles of the great dao came rushing in. Han Li devoured them all, crazily comprehending, absorbing, and digesting.
When Han Li awakened from the state of enlightenment, all the profound insights he gained during that time were transformed into his cultivation. This caused Han Li's cultivation to soar, his aura to surge, becoming increasingly powerful. It even seemed to suppress the nine heavens, causing the void to distort as if it was about to shatter.
Second level of the True Martial Realm!
Third level of the True Martial Realm!
Fourth level of the True Martial Realm!
Fifth level of the True Martial Realm!
Han Li's aura continued to rise madly, becoming so powerful that it had the momentum to cover the nine heavens. Even the void began to tremble under his influence, as if it was about to collapse.
Sixth level of the True Martial Realm!
Soon, Han Li's aura broke through a certain critical point, entering a new realm. His cultivation reached the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, his aura surging several times over, causing the unstable void to tremble.
"Hoo~"
After a long time, Han Li finally exhaled, opened his eyes, and his divine radiance flickered. They were like two large stars revolving, exuding a terrifying might.
"This is truly an incredibly powerful force. Is this the battle power of the Divine Origin Realm?" Han Li murmured to himself, extremely satisfied with this breakthrough. In one breath, he went from the first level to the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, making rapid progress.
In less than half an incense stick's worth of time, he broke through five small realms, all within the True Martial Realm. This news would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar and shake the entire Qian Primordial Spirit Province when it spread to the outside world.
Even the ancient emperors did not have such a rapid breakthrough in the True Martial Realm. Breaking through five small realms in less than half an incense stick's worth of time was truly astonishing.
After stabilizing his own aura, Han Li looked at the panel to see the cultivation consumed during this breakthrough.
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for advancing to the Second Heaven of the True Martial Realm, consuming 50 years of cultivation.]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for advancing to the Third Heaven of the True Martial Realm, consuming 75 years of cultivation.]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for advancing to the Sixth Heaven of the True Martial Realm, consuming 150 years of cultivation.]
"Hiss~"
Even though he had anticipated it, Han Li still took in a breath of spiritual energy.
This time, he only broke through five small realms, but it actually consumed 500 years of cultivation. This is too much.
It should be noted that when he advanced from the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm to the First Heaven of the True Martial Realm, it only consumed 600 years of cultivation. It's really difficult for a True Martial Realm Martial King to break through.
Han Li secretly clicked his tongue.
Even with his aptitude advancing to the third rank, it still consumed 500 years of cultivation. If it were still a fourth rank aptitude, it would require 1,000 years of cultivation to advance to the Sixth Heaven of the True Martial Realm.
Glancing at the remaining cultivation on the panel, Han Li sighed. This breakthrough not only consumed all of his savings, but also brought him to the Sixth Heaven of the True Martial Realm and the battle power of a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor.
Closing the personal panel, Han Li inquired about the cultivation required for the subsequent realms after the breakthrough, and his expression gradually worsened.
"Damn it!"
Han Li couldn't help but complain.
Now he is at the Sixth Heaven of the True Martial Realm. To break through to the Seventh Heaven of the True Martial Realm, it requires a full 200 years of cultivation. To break through to the Eighth Heaven of the True Martial Realm, it requires 300 years of cultivation. To break through to the Ninth Heaven of the True Martial Realm, it requires 400 years of cultivation.
The next three small realms require a total of 900 years of cultivation. Han Li couldn't help but let out a long breath to calm his mood.
900 years of cultivation can allow him to break through to the Ninth Heaven of the True Martial Realm. If he wants to cultivate to the perfection of the Ninth Heaven of the True Martial Realm, that is, the peak of the True Martial Realm, it still requires 100 years of cultivation.
"How many years do I have to accumulate to reach 1,000 years of cultivation?" Han Li sighed.
If his aptitude advanced to the second rank, the required cultivation would be halved. But his aptitude has just advanced to the third rank, only 4% of the way to advancing to the second rank. It's still a long way off.
Now his descendants have reached a total of 1098, with 413 of them being qualified descendants. The ratio has further decreased, but it will still take a long time before the next reward.
The total number of descendants needs to reach 2000 in order to receive a new reward, which is very generous. We still have a long way to go. However, if the number of qualified descendants reaches 500, we can expect some improvement in the rewards compared to when it was 400.
"I hope that when the total number of descendants reaches 2000, the number of qualified descendants can officially surpass the 1000 mark," Han Li said with anticipation.
The rewards are already so generous when the number of qualified descendants is only in the "hundreds" range. If it reaches the "thousands" range, the rewards will definitely increase significantly. This can be seen from the generous rewards obtained when the total number of descendants reached one thousand.
The road ahead is long and arduous!
This is how Han Li feels, but fortunately, he is now powerful enough. Even if it takes ten, twenty, or even longer years, he can ensure his own safety and the safety of the Han family.
Now, his strength is truly that of a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor.
Now, who is the strongest in the Profound Domain? That can only be known through a competition.
The higher the cultivation level, the higher the level of exposure. One can learn more information and secrets. The Great Ancient Dynasty is like an ancient divine mountain pressing down on the Profound Domain, standing for over 16,000 years without falling.
Only when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, at least the level of an Empty Void Realm Grandmaster, can they understand how powerful the heritage of the Great Ancient Dynasty is. It is the top power in the Profound Domain that possesses Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors from generation to generation without interruption.
If it weren't for the intervention of the Four Great Holy Lands, the Great Ancient Dynasty would have long swept across the Six Realms and suppressed the Eight Wastelands, unifying the vast Profound Domain.
How strong is the Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor of the Great Ancient Dynasty? Even the True Martial Realm Martial Kings of the Great Ancient Dynasty don't know, let alone the True Martial Realm Martial Kings from the outside world. Perhaps only the high-level members of the Four Great Holy Lands are clear about this.
The Great Ancient Dynasty itself is also aware that occupying one-third of the Profound Domain is its limit. It cannot expand further unless a powerhouse of the Universal Truth Realm appears in the Great Ancient Dynasty to change the situation.
"Compared to that old monster from the Great Ancient Dynasty, who is stronger, who is weaker?" Han Li silently wondered.
When he was at the first level of the True Martial Realm, his true essence storage was comparable to that of someone at the sixth level of the True Martial Realm. Now that he has reached the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, his true essence storage is only barely comparable to that of someone at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm.
Han Li had already anticipated this situation. When reaching the True Martial Realm, there is a significant difference between each small realm, especially in the later stages of the True Martial Realm, where the difference becomes even greater. Han Li is already quite satisfied with having true essence comparable to someone at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm.
With this continuous breakthrough of five small realms, Han Li's overall strength has also increased. His physical body is comparable to someone at the third level of the True Martial Realm, and his divine soul and spiritual awareness have also greatly increased, reaching a level comparable to someone at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm.
His five senses have also been greatly enhanced, allowing Han Li to have a deeper understanding of divine perception and stay in this realm for a longer time.
The first time he activated divine perception, Han Li could maintain it for 30 seconds. The second time, 25 seconds. The third time, 20 seconds. He can continuously maintain it for 75 seconds, which is about 25 breaths.
If there is an interval between activations, he can stay in the realm of divine perception for even longer, about 80 breaths, which is close to half an incense stick's time. (In the book, one incense stick's time is set to be 10 minutes, please don't argue.)
Han Li is very satisfied with this improvement. He can finally activate divine perception for a longer period of time and is no longer the man who could only maintain it for six seconds.
His understanding of the embryonic form of the all-encompassing martial dao has skyrocketed by half, from 50% to 75%, allowing Han Li to gain stronger blessings in all aspects of his strength.
Previously, he could only bless the power of martial techniques with three grades, but now he can bless them with three and a half grades.
Han Li inwardly examined himself and found that the martial dao false core within his body had become more real, adding a lot of the meaning of the primordial chaos.
He knew that when the true martial dao and the primordial chaos became one, it meant that his realm had reached the pinnacle of the True Martial realm, and he could prepare to break through to the Divine Origin Realm.
Feeling emotional, Han Li opened his personal attribute panel to check his combat power after continuous breakthroughs.
His speed originally reached the eighth level of the True Martial realm, but now it had further advanced, rivaling the peak of the True Martial realm; his defense had also completely reached the level of the Divine Origin Realm, comparable to the first level of the Divine Origin Realm.
Han Li discovered that he could now unleash the combat power of the ninth level of the True Martial realm when using those middle-grade Earth Grade martial techniques. If he used martial techniques like the Profound Heaven Fist or the Yin-Yang Great Seal, which he had only cultivated to perfection, he could barely unleash the combat power of the Divine Origin Realm threshold.
The so-called combat power at the Divine Origin Realm threshold belonged to the bottom of the Divine Origin Realm, but in the True Martial realm, it could be said to be invincible.
The Heaven-Sealing Sword Canon could unleash the combat power of a normal first level of the Divine Origin Realm, and using the Dragon Abyss Sword would increase his strength, but it still couldn't reach the second level of the Divine Origin Realm.
In a state without stimulating the divine sense, the strongest combat power Han Li could unleash was the second level of the Divine Origin Realm, allowing him to use the Meteor Sword Art, the Six Harmonies and Eight Wastes Fist, and the Floating Tower Suppressing Prison Seal.
Under the blessing of the embryonic form of the all-encompassing martial dao, these three martial techniques were very close in grade to low-grade divine-level martial techniques. He had cultivated all of them to the state of perfection and was not inferior to some low-grade divine-level martial techniques.
If he stimulated the divine sense, his overall strength would increase tenfold, allowing him to reach the third level of the Divine Origin Realm. Whether he could reach the fourth level of the Divine Origin Realm, Han Li was not sure.
These combat powers were calculated by him based on the strength records of some Divine Origin Realm experts, and they were benchmarked against ordinary Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors.
If those who mastered higher-level martial dao, possessed higher-grade martial dao Primordial Spirits, wielded powerful divine weapons, and cultivated many high-grade divine-level martial techniques to a high degree were compared, their combat power would be higher than their realm. Han Li did not compare himself to such individuals.
The further one cultivates, the more important one's own foundation becomes. This foundation includes many aspects, and what was mentioned earlier was only a part of it.
As long as one masters one or two of them, their combat power will surpass their realm. The more one masters, the higher their combat power will be. This belongs to the peerless geniuses of the same realm.
Those who can cultivate to the Divine Origin Realm are all exceptionally talented individuals. They either have great opportunities and great luck, or they have high aptitude. In the eyes of the outside world, they are all geniuses.
Some geniuses stop at the Divine Origin Realm and find it difficult to make further progress. Compared to those who continue to advance and can cultivate to the Universal Truth Realm or the Holy Abyss Realm, they are considered mediocre.
If they are ordinary, then the latter are geniuses; if they are geniuses, then the latter are peerless geniuses.
Different heights correspond to different objects of comparison. Even the most ordinary Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor is an unparalleled genius in the eyes of cultivators of lower realms, an existence they can only look up to.
"Huh~ Why is she here?"
Han Laozu suddenly noticed that someone had come outside the bedroom, and it was none other than the newly married female demon king, Bai Keqing.
After a brief thought, Han Li knew why Bai Keqing had come here. She must be checking if he was in the bedroom, wanting to cultivate with him.
Ever since experiencing the effects of cultivation together for the first time, Bai Keqing had been ecstatic and had put aside everything related to the demon realm and the demon race. She had been single-mindedly wanting to cultivate with Han Laozu, hoping to reach the peak of the True Martial realm as soon as possible.
Although Han Li had said that he would unseal her cultivation after a year and then officially cultivate with her to help her increase her cultivation, how could Bai Keqing be willing to wait?
So Bai Keqing would come to Han Li's bedroom every few days to see if he was there, or she would fly to the peak of the Chengdao Peak to wait for Han Li to return. Her physical body was not sealed, although she had lost her true essence, her strength was still very powerful.
Under Bai Keqing's repeated efforts, Han Li couldn't help but give in and occasionally unseal Bai Keqing's cultivation, cultivating with her to their heart's content.
"Forget it, today Laozu will display his power."
Watching Bai Keqing approaching, Han Li put away the formation and waited for Bai Keqing to come in.
Now that his strength had skyrocketed, officially possessing the battle power of a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor, Bai Keqing couldn't stir up any waves in his eyes anymore.
He also wanted to try a more powerful physical body and turn the tables on Bai Keqing, making her realize how formidable he was and not come to bother him from time to time.
Bai Keqing arrived outside the main hall and her eyes lit up. She sensed Han Li's presence and quickly entered the bedroom. Previously, there was a large formation concealing her, so she couldn't be sure if there was anyone inside.
Today, Bai Keqing was still wearing a light blue dress, which was relatively cool and sexy. Her belly was slightly bulging. She was still the enchanting and sexy female demon king, wild and charming. She was quite bold in this matter.
Looking at Bai Keqing walking in, Han Li smiled faintly. Bai Keqing's appearance was stunning, with dimples showing on her pretty face, phoenix-like eyes filled with spring, and a captivating beauty. The skin revealed by her dress was fair and tender, like the finest white jade, smooth and radiant, without any flaws.
Her red lips were sexy and full, shining with charm as she walked, with a variety of styles and a seductive charm. Coupled with her perfect and curvaceous figure, she was truly a peerless beauty.
"You can choose the position yourself, just don't go too far. I only want to cultivate together."
This was the first sentence spoken by the female demon king Bai Keqing as she walked in, looking down at Han Li who was sitting cross-legged with a queen-like attitude.
"No problem."
With the atmosphere reaching this point, Han Laozu naturally wouldn't refuse, so a earth-shattering battle against demons began.
The next morning, Han Li returned to the Li Mansion with satisfaction.
After visiting his wives and concubines, Han Li went to the top of the Chongxiao Tower and looked towards the direction of the palace once again.
A smile appeared on his face this time.
After waiting for several months, it was finally time for the harvest.
In addition to wanting to obtain the Soul Nurturing Furnace, he also wanted to know the truth about Chu Dingqian's ability to reincarnate. He was very interested in this.
Even if he didn't need it temporarily, no one could say for sure about the future. Maybe he would need it in the future?
In the next moment, Han Li's figure disappeared from the Li Mansion's Chongxiao Tower and arrived at the forbidden area of the palace.
"Tsk tsk, what an impressive Yin Yang Demon Slaying Formation. Even a True Martial Realm late stage expert would be severely injured or even killed if they forcefully entered. Unfortunately, it can't stop me."
After taking a look, Han Li recognized this top-grade third rank formation and sighed.
That old guy Chu Dingqian really left a way out. He had promised to make a copy of the alchemy, refining, formation, and talisman diagrams and formulas owned by the Great Qian Dynasty for him.
But when Han Li received them, there was only one copy of each third rank alchemy formula diagram, and this Yin Yang Demon Slaying Formation was not among them.
At that time, Han Li knew that Chu Dingqian would leave a way out, but he didn't mind. After all, everything would be his in the future. After killing Chu Dingqian later, all of these would fall into his hands.
A sword qi appeared on Han Li's fingertips, and with a light stroke, a crack appeared in the void, instantly breaking open the Yin Yang Demon Slaying Formation.
At the same time, his spiritual sense, comparable to the peak of the True Martial Realm's ninth heaven, instantly covered the entire area, concealing all movements.
After doing all this, Han Li finally put his hands behind his back and walked along the passage towards the inside.
Inside the main hall,
The moment the Yin Yang Demon Slaying Formation was broken, Chu Dingqian was awakened. This formation was connected to his spiritual consciousness, and if it was attacked, he would wake up directly.
Chu Dingqian's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he picked up the Soul Nurturing Furnace and tried to escape. But what made him desperate was that he couldn't leave this main hall at all. A powerful spiritual sense had turned into a spiritual domain, sealing off this place.
"Damn it!"
Chu Dingqian retreated, continuously retreating to the corner of the main hall, and then looked vigilantly towards the entrance of the passage. The Soul Nurturing Furnace in his hand was in a fully activated state, ready to unleash its full power at any moment.
He had already tried to send out a message, but it was all in vain. None of them succeeded, which made Chu Dingqian's mood increasingly heavy.
The other party had come prepared.
"Tak, tak."
Listening to the rhythmic footsteps echoing in the passage, Chu Dingqian's mind and spirit trembled. Each step felt like it was stepping on his heart, bringing immense pressure to Chu Dingqian.
He knew that the other party was able to instantly break through the Yin Yang Demon Slaying Formation, conceal all movements, and isolate the inside from the outside. The fact that they were walking slowly and arrogantly indicated that this enemy had great confidence in their own strength.
Chu Dingqian speculated that this person was at least a peak True Martial realm powerhouse, most likely a Martial Emperor at the Divine Origin Realm level.
Chu Dingqian held his breath and focused his mind, tightly gripping the Nourishing Spirit Furnace in his right hand. His mood was extremely tense.
He was a Martial King at the peak of the sixth level of the True Martial realm. If he fully activated the Nourishing Spirit Furnace, he could still unleash unparalleled power.
After all, the Nourishing Spirit Furnace was a top-grade Heaven Grade treasure, belonging to the top-tier Divine Origin Realm level weapon. Although he couldn't fully activate it, there was no problem in unleashing the strength of the ninth level of the True Martial realm.
Although his actual strength was not as strong as the enemy attacking him, there was still a chance for him. As long as he seized the opportunity to strike with the Nourishing Spirit Furnace, he could severely wound the Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor without any defenses.
What made Chu Dingqian's mind tense was that the passage was clearly very short, only a dozen meters long, but the footsteps kept sounding. It had been more than ten breaths of time, and according to reason, the attacking enemy should have already entered the main hall.
"Not good!"
A flash of insight crossed Chu Dingqian's mind, realizing that his perception had been affected. Without hesitation, he fully activated the Nourishing Spirit Furnace and blasted it towards his side.
As Chu Dingqian attempted to counterattack, Han Li's fist came crashing down. The fist radiated a dazzling light, suppressing the eight wilderness and nine heavens, carrying the dominance of ruling the world, forcefully striking the Nourishing Spirit Furnace.
Boom!
The Nourishing Spirit Furnace and Chu Dingqian were both sent flying, with the Nourishing Spirit Furnace heavily hitting Chu Dingqian, causing him even more injuries.
"You realized it too late." Han Li's voice sounded at this moment.
This punch possessed the strength of the third level of the Divine Origin Realm. To be safe, Han Li even stimulated his divine sense, not wanting to leave anything to chance.
What could Chu Dingqian use to block it?
He couldn't block it at all!
"Pu~"
Chu Dingqian spat out a mouthful of blood, his body falling from the wall to the ground. His expression was dejected and filled with horror as he looked at Han Li.
This person was too strong, definitely a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor!
It was just a punch, but it not only destroyed the attack of the Soul Nurturing Furnace, but also severely injured him, a mid-stage True Martial expert.
Now his body is falling apart, with a huge fist imprint in front of him. The wound is filled with a dominant and overbearing fist intent, constantly eroding his physical body and erasing his true essence, causing his strength to continuously weaken.
After taking this punch, his strength directly dropped to less than ten percent, and it is still declining, indicating that his life is coming to an end.
"Who are you?"
Chu Dingqian asked with a strong sense of unwillingness on his face. He had planned everything and expected the situation to evolve as he wanted. Why did he suddenly become the target of an attack?
If he was given another forty years, he would be able to successfully seize someone else's body and be reborn. After another two or three hundred years of cultivation, he would be able to return to the True Martial realm. Why wouldn't fate allow him to live a third life?
Chu Dingqian was filled with resentment.
He knew that he was doomed to die, and his tone was extremely bitter and full of killing intent, without any concealment.
"Even for powerful beings and saints, it is extremely difficult to be reborn and live a second life. You, a mere True Martial expert, actually want to defy the heavens and live a third life. Do you think you won't face calamity?"
Han Li's tone was indifferent, and a deep and unfathomable expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, he was using Han Li's appearance, not Li Feiyu's, so Chu Dingqian didn't recognize him.
"I just want to live a third life. Why do you obstruct my path? I am not willing!"
Chu Dingqian's face showed a mix of sadness and anger. He had successfully been reborn once, and the plan for his third life had already succeeded. But suddenly, he encountered a calamity. How could he accept it?
Han Li shook his head slightly, captured Chu Dingqian, and sealed his remaining strength with his true essence.
Ignoring Chu Dingqian's resentful and hateful gaze, Han Li directly performed a soul search on him. After the soul search was completed, Han Li ended his life with a palm strike.
He didn't want to waste too much time talking to Chu Dingqian. Since he had already done it, he simply killed him.
Growing up to this point, he was no longer the same Han Li as before. Decades ago, he would have spared Li Deshun out of compassion, but now he would never do that.
He now acted decisively, directly cutting off the roots without showing any mercy. He didn't want to bear the consequences. If he caused big trouble, it would be disastrous.
"Ah~" Han Li sighed. He felt that he had changed a lot.
Now he was still cautious and low-key, but he became more decisive in his actions. If he needed to kill, he would kill without hesitation, cutting off the roots without showing any mercy.
If Chu Dingqian had been willing to give him the Soul Nurturing Furnace during their previous transaction, Han Li would not have killed him. Instead, he would have given him a lot of benefits and sincerely supported his rebirth and cultivation.
But Chu Dingqian chose another path, which blocked his way. It's not his fault, the cultivation world is just so cruel.
Putting himself in Chu Dingqian's shoes, Han Li knew that if he were Chu Dingqian, he would never hand over the Soul Nurturing Furnace to a True Martial Realm Martial King of unknown origin, even if it meant relying on the other party to protect the Great Qian Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Sighing, Han Li's Dao Heart calmed down, and he casually collected Chu Dingqian's body and the Soul Nurturing Furnace into the spatial storage, then cleaned up all traces.
After doing all this, Han Li changed his appearance, height, attire, and temperament, disguising himself as Chu Dingqian. He then found the control token of the Yin Yang Slaying Demon Array from Chu Dingqian's spatial bracelet and refined it.
After gaining control of the Yin Yang Slaying Demon Array, Han Li withdrew his spiritual sense and opened the array, appearing in the imperial palace.
After investigating for a while, Han Li came to the hall where Chu Dingqian occasionally stayed. There was a strong residual aura of Chu Dingqian here. He then transmitted his voice through his spiritual sense to Emperor Qian, asking him to come and see him.
After receiving the transmission, Emperor Qian was somewhat surprised, feeling that the voice of the Great Elder Zhenxiong seemed a bit strange, but he didn't think much of it and came to the hall.
Emperor Qian lowered his head and respectfully said, "I pay my respects to the Elder. May I ask why the Elder has summoned me?"
"Now that the Great Qian Dynasty has stabilized, I will close myself off in the forbidden area and try to cultivate some longevity techniques. Without my summons, you must not disturb me."
Han Li imitated Chu Dingqian's tone and looked at Emperor Qian.
Emperor Qian was taken aback and quickly replied, "What if there is an urgent matter?"
Emperor Qian didn't doubt him. Chu Dingqian had said similar things before, and now that the last crisis of the Great Qian Dynasty had unexpectedly been resolved, it was only natural for Elder Zhenxiong to go into seclusion.
He also hoped that Elder Zhenxiong's cultivation of longevity techniques would be successful, so that he could live longer and the Great Qian Dynasty would not be oppressed by Li Feiyu in the future.
"I will leave a treasure outside the forbidden area. As long as you strike it, I will naturally know and summon you then."
Han Li said lightly, "But remember, unless it is a matter of life and death for the Great Qian Dynasty, you must not disturb me."
"Yes!" Emperor Qian nodded and felt relieved.
After handing over a communication token for the Yin Yang Slaying Demon Array, Han Li let Emperor Qian leave.
Looking at the Qian character token in his hand, Han Li smiled and casually threw it into the spatial storage.
Immediately after, his figure disappeared.
On the other side, Emperor Qian returned to his own palace, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
It seemed that Elder Zhenxiong's behavior today was somewhat strange. This thought floated in Emperor Qian's mind, and a bold guess suddenly emerged.
Could something have happened to Elder Zhenxiong? Otherwise, why would he summon him in that hall?
In the past, he was summoned in the forbidden area. It was only an exception when Prince Wu'an and the late emperor died in battle.
Emperor Qian's heart pounded, and he took several deep breaths to barely maintain his composure.
Shaking his head, Emperor Qian felt that he was overthinking. How could something happen to Elder Zhenxiong? Elder Zhenxiong was a mid-stage Martial King in the True Martial Realm. Who could kill him while he was in the Yin Yang Slaying Demon Array? Li Feiyu couldn't possibly do it. There were only a few Martial Kings in the Profound Domain who could kill Elder Zhenxiong, and it would cause a great commotion. But he didn't perceive any movement at all.
"Hoo~"
Exhaling a breath, Emperor Qian stopped thinking about this matter. He knew he couldn't dwell on it.
Regardless of whether something happened to Elder Zhenxiong, he couldn't investigate further, otherwise it would truly lead to a big problem.
In the Li Residence, on the top floor of the Chongxiao Tower.
Han Li withdrew his attention from the imperial palace, a satisfied expression on his face.
If Emperor Qian didn't know what was good for him and insisted on digging deeper, he would have no choice but to kill him as well.
The current outcome was the best. Otherwise, he would have to find someone to impersonate Emperor Qian, which would be too troublesome.
After retracting his gaze, Han Li began to inspect his spoils.
In his hand appeared a spatial bracelet, which was Chu Dingqian's. Han Li had deliberately protected the spatial bracelet before.
Smiling, Han Li's spiritual sense entered it and easily refined the ownerless spatial bracelet.
After investigating the treasures in the spatial bracelet, Han Li's smile grew wider. This time, he truly struck it rich.
The various cultivation resources and treasures that Chu Dingqian had traded with him before were already abundant, but they were only half of what was in this spatial bracelet.
With this spatial bracelet, he had obtained half of the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty. Including the previous one-fourth, he now held more than half of the foundation of the entire Great Qian Dynasty.
In this spatial bracelet, there were also many Heaven Grade treasures, including a top-grade Heaven Grade divine blade that was extremely sharp.
There were various Heaven Grade techniques, martial skills, spirit stones, spirit pills, spirit talismans, and more. There were also countless spirit medicines, refining materials, and formation materials.
Han Li's most valued possession is the Heaven Grade supreme technique "Qiankun Jue" and two Heaven Grade supreme martial arts, which are invaluable.
He also unexpectedly discovered two thousand supreme spirit stones. It must be said that Chu Dingqian's acting skills are very clever, as he almost believed his nonsense.
Last time, Chu Dingqian said that the Great Qian Dynasty only had one thousand supreme spirit stones, clearly deceiving him.
There are nearly twenty diagrams and alchemy formulas for refining pills, refining tools, and other cultivation techniques of the third rank, including the diagram for the Yin Yang Slaying Demon Formation.
Han Li found many good things in this spatial bracelet, which were of higher quality and quantity than what Chu Dingqian traded with him.
"It is indeed a belt for killing and arson, with no corpses left behind when building bridges and roads."
Han Li couldn't help but sigh. It is true that one cannot become rich without unexpected gains. With this spatial bracelet, the foundations of the Han and Li families instantly skyrocketed.
He can cultivate his descendants to his heart's content, providing them with abundant cultivation resources and allowing those specially cultivated descendants to grow quickly.
With these cultivation resources, the welfare of his less talented descendants can also be improved several times, providing them with better treatment.
Han Li decided to improve the family's welfare when he returned, encourage childbirth again, and let his descendants multiply and flourish. Only then can he quickly reach two thousand or three thousand descendants. It is still too slow now.
Putting away the spatial bracelet, Han Li thought of the memories he saw when he searched Chu Dingqian's soul, and sighed.
Chu Dingqian also had great luck. He had continuous adventures and rose from a servant with only a seventh-grade aptitude to the True Martial realm, splitting the Great Jing Dynasty and shaking the Xuan Domain.
Chu Dingqian even successfully lived a second life with the Demon Embryo Technique, showing extraordinary talent. If given more time, he might have had a chance to live a third or fourth life. In this way, the probability of Chu Dingqian reaching the Divine Origin Realm or Universal Truth Realm would have become greater.
Unfortunately, he encountered Han Li and was ended by him, with more than half of his accumulated three thousand years falling into Han Li's hands.
"What a remarkable Demon Embryo Technique, but it's incomplete."
As he reminisced about the content of the Demon Embryo Technique, Han Li's face showed a look of astonishment.
The cultivator who created this technique was truly extraordinary, with an extremely high level of comprehension. He was able to create such a heaven-defying technique, which greatly impressed Han Li.
Even the incomplete Demon Embryo Technique reached the lower grade of the divine level. How powerful would the complete version be?
Han Li believed that it was at least an immortal scripture, perhaps even stronger than the complete version of the Lu Tianxiang's Ascension to Immortality Technique, which was only a lower grade of the Heaven Grade.
This is the first divine-level technique that Han Li obtained. He decided to find an opportunity to study it and try to cultivate a Demon Embryo as preparation for the future.
The host of the demon fetus must be carefully selected, with the best qualifications and comprehension, so as to start at a high level.
If he has an accident in the future, he can also seize the demon fetus and be reborn.
Han Li doesn't think he's invincible. This world is too dangerous. There are many strong people outside of the Qian Primordial Spirit State, and even the Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor is not enough to be seen.
It's always good to be prepared.
After thinking about it, Han Li didn't think of a suitable host. Should he learn from Chu Dingqian and cultivate his descendants to become the host of the demon fetus?
After thinking about it, Han Li thought it was better not to. He felt that it was not good. What Han Li was most worried about was that the Han Mansion would be destroyed along with him, and all his wives, concubines, and descendants would not be able to escape.
So it's best to secretly cultivate an unparalleled genius as the host of the demon fetus, with no apparent connection to him. When the time is right, he can directly seize the host and be reborn, making the enemy think he is really dead.
He can also inherit his legacy in a new identity, so as not to let all his efforts go to waste.
Sighing, Han Li temporarily stopped thinking about it. He would slowly consider it later. He still had enough time.
With a flip of his palm, a small and exquisite furnace appeared in Han Li's right hand, only the size of a palm, with runes engraved inside and out, emitting a powerful aura.
With the influx of true essence, Han Li quickly refined the nurturing furnace.
"It's worthy of being a top-grade Heaven Grade treasure. Its power is really strong."
Feeling the power of the nurturing furnace, a look of surprise appeared on Han Li's face. This was the first Heaven Grade treasure he had obtained. Although it couldn't compare to the low-grade divine weapon in Chongming Palace, it was already powerful enough.
Heaven Grade treasures are top-notch Divine Origin Realm weapons. With his current true essence reserves, he can unleash about 70-80% of the power of the nurturing furnace, which can erupt with the power of a triple Divine Origin Realm, much stronger than in Chu Dingqian's hands.
Like the nurturing furnace, the attacking power of the nurturing furnace is only secondary, but even so, it is still very strong. If fully unleashed, it would definitely be the strength of the mid-stage Divine Origin Realm.
After careful exploration, Han Li regarded the nurturing furnace as his treasure. As the name suggests, the nurturing furnace is for the physical body, while the nurturing furnace is for the divine soul. The function of the Heaven Grade nurturing furnace is much stronger than that of the nurturing furnace.
"It's time."
Muttering to himself, Han Li's figure disappeared from the Li Mansion and returned to Chengsheng Mountain.
His figure appeared on Chengdao Peak, in front of a large furnace, which was the nurturing furnace.
Since the Han Mansion changed its mountain protection formation, the nurturing furnace has been placed here by Han Li. He promised to exchange this treasure with the Canghai Sect, and there are only a few years left in the ten-year agreement.
But now he has obtained a better nurturing furnace, and he is even about to obtain the legendary life-nurturing furnace. The nurturing furnace is of little use to him now.
When Han Li took out the Soul Nurturing Furnace, the two furnaces immediately roared and generated a mutual induction.
However, to Han Li's disappointment, the Body Nurturing Furnace and the Soul Nurturing Furnace did not merge together. This Body Nurturing Furnace was indeed a secondary imitation.
He had already expected this, but still sighed.
After searching Chu Dingqian's soul, he learned a lot of information, including detailed information about the Soul Nurturing Furnace, the Body Nurturing Furnace, and the Life Nurturing Furnace. He also learned that Chu Dingqian had tried to merge the Soul Nurturing Furnace with the Body Nurturing Furnace at the Canghai Sect, but failed.
"Can it succeed?" Han Li frowned.
With the imitation Body Nurturing Furnace in his left hand and the Soul Nurturing Furnace in his right hand, his expression changed constantly. Now he was not confident anymore.
There were only three treasures that could induce the imitation Body Nurturing Furnace: the Body Nurturing Furnace, the Soul Nurturing Furnace, and the Life Nurturing Furnace.
With the Soul Nurturing Furnace in his hand, he could exclude it. The Body Nurturing Furnace and the Soul Nurturing Furnace were of the same grade, unable to continuously absorb spiritual energy for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, the Life Nurturing Furnace must be hidden in the Chengsheng Mountain.
He had searched Chengsheng Mountain countless times, but there was no trace of the Life Nurturing Furnace. So there was only one possibility: the Life Nurturing Furnace, like the Dragon Ball, was hidden in a secret realm.
Han Li was worried. Could the imitation Body Nurturing Furnace and the Soul Nurturing Furnace open the secret realm where the Life Nurturing Furnace was located?
From Chu Dingqian's memory, he learned that a true Body Nurturing Furnace and Soul Nurturing Furnace needed to merge into a low-grade divine weapon in order to truly sense the Life Nurturing Furnace.
"No matter what, I have to give it a try." Han Li didn't hesitate too much. He had to find the Life Nurturing Furnace now and couldn't let it remain hidden.
The effects of the imitation Body Nurturing Furnace and the Soul Nurturing Furnace were already so powerful. How much stronger would the ancient treasure, the Life Nurturing Furnace, be?
As a top-grade divine weapon, it was a top-notch Holy Abyss Realm weapon, comparable to a Great Saint Weapon. Its power was infinite. Even if it wasn't used for attacking, it could greatly enhance his combat power.
The other effects of the Life Nurturing Furnace could also rapidly develop the Han Family and greatly accelerate the cultivation of his descendants.
With the Soul Nurturing Furnace and the imitation Body Nurturing Furnace in hand, Han Li's figure appeared everywhere in Chengsheng Mountain, but he concealed his presence and no one could find him.
"Not here."
"Not here either."
"Still not here. Where could it be?"
With the Soul Nurturing Furnace and the imitation Body Nurturing Furnace in his hands, he did feel a stronger connection to the Life Nurturing Furnace, but it was intermittent. Even with his powerful Divine Soul comparable to the True Martial Realm Ninth Heaven, he couldn't sense it.
Despite this, Han Li didn't give up. It was much better than before when he could only have occasional vague feelings.
In Chengsheng Mountain, Han Li appeared everywhere, even going up to the sky and down to the ground, traversing every corner of Chengsheng Mountain, just to find the secret realm where the Life Nurturing Furnace was located.
Without a true Body Nurturing Furnace and Soul Nurturing Furnace, he couldn't directly enter by synthesizing a key. He could only find a special point and then forcefully break in with his powerful strength.
With his Divine Origin Realm strength, he believed he could forcefully enter the secret realm.
Half an hour passed.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Han Li continued to search patiently, without any slack.
His divine sense covered the entire Chengsheng Mountain, even extending thousands of miles outside. His divine soul was fully activated, constantly stimulating his divine perception, just to sense that special node.
After more than three hours, a smile appeared on Han Li's face as he appeared in a certain place in Chengsheng Mountain.
"Finally found it."
Standing here, holding the Soul Nurturing Furnace and the imitation Body Nurturing Furnace, he could clearly sense the Life Nurturing Furnace without any interruptions.
He believed that the true Life Nurturing Furnace must be in the secret realm corresponding to this node, which was extremely hidden.
If he didn't have the Soul Nurturing Furnace and the imitation Body Nurturing Furnace, and hadn't patiently searched for nearly four hours, he would never have found this place.
After calming down, Han Li prepared to forcefully enter the secret realm where the Life Nurturing Furnace was located. But before that, he needed to do one thing.
One by one, materials for setting up the formation were thrown out by Han Li and embedded in each formation node. He began to set up a third-grade grand formation.
Forcibly entering this secret realm might cause a great disturbance, and Han Li didn't want others to know. If someone deduced that the Life Nurturing Furnace had appeared in Chengsheng Mountain, it would be a big trouble.
After spending a lot of effort, Han Li finished setting up the grand formation and checked its effect. This third-grade grand formation had a wide coverage range, could conceal the heavenly secrets, and shield any movement, making it impossible for the outside world to know.
Then, Han Li's divine sense surged, informing his beautiful wives Lu Tianxiang, Bai Keqing, Lin Yiwu, and Fang Yousi that he had something to do temporarily and not to disturb him.
After finishing all this, Han Li took a long breath and solemnly drew out the Longyuan Sword. Then, he stimulated his divine sense and displayed the strongest move of the Meteor Sword Technique.
With a single sword strike, he fiercely hit that special node, causing a deafening roar and a void crack to appear.
The aura of the Life Nurturing Furnace leaked out from the void crack. Han Li's expression turned extremely joyful. Seeing the void crack rapidly closing, he didn't hesitate and immediately rushed in.
Whoosh~
After passing through the void crack, Han Li entered a sunny and beautiful world. Here, birds were singing, flowers were blooming, and everything was harmonious.
The vegetation here was lush, with ancient trees towering into the sky. The spiritual energy was extremely abundant, at least a thousand times denser than the Sacred Mountain outside.
Han Li's spiritual sense surged out, instantly covering the entire secret realm. This made him slightly startled. This secret realm was actually not that big, far inferior to the Dragon King Secret Realm.
Now, his spiritual sense was comparable to a True Martial Realm expert at the peak of the Ninth Heaven, able to cover a range of 1.3 million miles. Even the largest province in the Great Qian Dynasty was not enough in front of him.
This secret realm was only about forty to fifty thousand miles in size, which could be said to be very small, even smaller than his system space.
In the center of the sky in this secret realm, there was a tripod with three legs, a wide mouth, and narrow ears. The lid of the tripod was suspended one foot above it.
Above this tripod, the sun and moon shone together, illuminating the secret realm. The stars of the heavens were scattered across the secret realm's sky, shining brightly. Below this tripod, there were countless spiritual beings running about on the ground, each emitting extraordinary auras, as if they were creating a world of their own.
"Refine in the Qiankun Furnace, simmer in the Sun and Moon Cauldron."
Seeing this scene, Han Li couldn't help but sigh, "Truly an ancient treasure, the Life Nurturing Furnace!"
He looked at the imitation Life Nurturing Furnace and Spirit Nurturing Furnace in his hand. Compared to the ancient treasure Life Nurturing Furnace, they were truly inferior.
Without hesitation, Han Li headed towards the Life Nurturing Furnace, wanting to collect and refine it.
"Buzz~"
Just at this moment, the lid of the Life Nurturing Furnace fell heavily, and a ripple of divine light swept over. Han Li punched out, sweeping across the six realms and suppressing the eight directions, forcibly erasing this ripple of divine light.
However, Han Li also stopped in his tracks because of this. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the Life Nurturing Furnace, not daring to approach it any further.
It seemed that the Life Nurturing Furnace had already given birth to a spirit and was not as easily refined as the Chongming Palace, which only had a vague meaning.
He tried to take another step forward, but another divine light slashed towards him. Han Li once again punched out, completely erasing this divine light.
"Life Nurturing Furnace, you've been hiding in this secret realm to heal for tens of thousands of years. Don't you want to go out and take a look?"
"If you follow me, it won't be long before you become a Divine Soldier and I can even help you ascend to immortality," Han Li's voice resounded throughout the secret realm.
He immediately employed his persuasive tactics, promising grand rewards and not considering whether he could actually deliver.
"Young man, leave and come back when you have cultivated to the Divine Origin Realm," a voice filled with the weight of time finally emerged from the longevity furnace after Han Li waited for a while.
Han Li raised an eyebrow, confirming that the longevity furnace did indeed possess a spirit, one that refused to acknowledge his current state.
"You've been hiding in this secret realm for tens of thousands of years just to repair your body, haven't you? If you join me, I can help you repair it," Han Li persisted, undeterred by the furnace's lack of response.
Han Li did not retreat; his booming voice echoed once again.
His eyes radiated a divine light as he observed the injuries on the furnace. The body of the furnace was worn and torn, with even a fist-sized hole that seemed to have been punched through it. However, it appeared intact, illuminated by the divine light.
The furnace continued to ignore him.
After some consideration, Han Li continued forward, step by step, remaining vigilant and keeping a close eye on the furnace.
When Han Li moved again, the furnace lid fell completely, merging with the furnace body. In an instant, the intertwined symbols of the sun, moon, stars, and all living beings on the earth transformed into one after another engraved drawings on the furnace.
The secret realm dimmed momentarily, then brightened once more.
The furnace emitted a divine light, and from its center, one beam after another shot out, transforming into the five great divine beasts: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin.
The five divine beasts stood tall in the five directions of the sky. Although they were condensed from divine light, they possessed the power of the furnace, appearing almost tangible and exuding terrifying might.
"Five Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors!"
Han Li's expression changed. The furnace was truly extraordinary, effortlessly creating five Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors, each with the strength of the Second Heaven of the Divine Origin Realm.
This posed a significant challenge for Han Li.
Even the self-revived Great Saint Soldiers were impressive, but now he was faced with five Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperors as mere appetizers. How was he supposed to handle this?
