Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Nine Levels of the Gangyuan Realm – Part 1

Within Lingjun City, one wedding after another was continuously held.

The brides came from the families and powers of Fengyang Manor and other three manors, but there was only one groom.

As things developed to the present, although he was still taking concubines according to the standards set by the System, Han Li's requirements for taking concubines kept getting higher.

To become his concubine, one must have at least ninth-grade cultivation talent and a beauty score above eighty-five.

The days ahead were long, and as his cultivation increased, the number of his concubines would grow more and more. So, Han Li deliberately controlled the quality of his concubines.

Taking too many concubines at once was not good either; it would leave Han Li overwhelmed and unable to cope.

For the common people of Lingjun City, the frequent taking of concubines by the old ancestor of the Han Family was a joy, and each occasion of taking concubines was the liveliest time in Lingjun City, driving its economic development.

For example, this time he took quite a few concubines. For each one, a grand wedding was held, lasting three days, making a total of thirty-six days.

During these days, the Han Family would hold a grand feast with continuously served dishes, where anyone willing could come to eat and drink for free. This went on for over a month, consuming countless secular riches and greatly booming the economy of Lingjun City.

It could be said that countless ordinary people lived off Han Li taking concubines, always praying for the old ancestor Han to take more concubines, which would then lead to the purchase of their large amounts of goods.

Unnoticed, a year passed.

Since the last time he took concubines, Han Li had not continued to take more, but the number of his descendants kept increasing.

On one hand, he personally opened the source, allowing each newly taken concubine to become pregnant in succession and bear offspring; on the other hand, Han Li continued to encourage procreation, and his descendants were still busily reproducing, adding to the Han Family's population.

In just four years since the turmoil caused by the White Lotus Cult, Han Li's number of descendants had already broken through three hundred, earning him numerous rewards such as fifty-eight years of cultivation progress, lifespan, a great number of cultivation techniques and martial skills, a large amount of Beauty Preserving Pills, and so on.

“Your number of descendants has broken through three hundred, you obtain fifty years of cultivation progress, you obtain three Pihai Realm Pills, you obtain the Profound Rank mid-grade martial skill [Sun Collapsing Sword Technique].”

As the number of descendants increased and with Han Li himself working hard, over sixty talented descendants also made breakthroughs, significantly enhancing Han Li's cultivation talent.

“The number of your descendants with cultivation talent has reached sixty, you obtain twenty years of cultivation progress, you obtain one seventh-grade Lifespan Extension Pill, you obtain thirty years of Formation experience.”

This wave of rewards caused Han Li's growth rate to explode, allowing him to surge ahead once again.

Originally having stored up eighty-five years of cultivation progress, now he nad gamed an additional one nunared twenty-elgnt years, totanng two hundred thirteen years. Even after spending a considerable amount of cultivation progress to advance to the Peak of the Gangyuan Realm, Han Li still had sixty years of cultivation progress left unclaimed, which he couldn't use for the time being.

Although his cultivation talent had increased quite a bit, it was still far from the sixth-grade, and he could only use the old method to break through.

Last time, breaking through from the Peak of the Pihai Realm to the Gangyuan Realm took one hundred years of cultivation progress; this time, he needed three hundred years of cultivation progress to break through to the God Refining Realm, which would be much more difficult.

What could Han Li say? Just slowly accumulate!

His cultivation progress shot up like a rocket from the first level of the Gangyuan Realm to the Peak of the Gangyuan Realm; he only needed to spend a small amount of time absorbing it before he transformed into a Great Master at the Peak of Gangyuan Realm.

Just four to five years equated to the hard cultivation of others for over a hundred years; even the cultivation speed of geniuses with third-grade aptitude wasn't this fast.

He was now only two hundred twelve years old, yet his lifespan had already exceeded seven hundred fifty years, and his growth rate would only get faster and faster.

“The fourth Profound Rank cultivation technique and martial skill.”

Having absorbed the Bhrum Sword Technique, he automatically cultivated this Profound Rank mid-grade martial art to the perfection level, which significantly enhanced his strength once more.

The lower-grade Dragon's Chant Golden Bell Shield and Cloud -Dispersing Palm, the mid-grade Sacred Heart Scripture, and this Bhrum Sword Technique all were cultivated to the perfection level.

Most cultivators in the Gangyuan Realm practiced lower and mid-grade Profound Rank cultivation techniques and martial skills; only disciples of major forces could access higher-level techniques and skills earlier.

With Han Li's cultivation at the Peak of Gangyuan Realm and the perfection level Bhrum Sword Technique, Dragon's Chant Golden Bell Shield, and

Heart-Shattering Palm, he had the power to dominate below the God Refining Realm with few adversaries.

“Three hundred years of cultivation, ah, who knows how long it will take to accumulate.”

He then glanced at the breakthrough progress bar; it had only accrued to 60, and there were still 240 points to go, which made Han Li somewhat weary.

If his cultivation talent were Sixth -grade, he would only need one hundred and fifty years of cultivation to advance to the God Refining Realm, but as a Seventh-grade talent, the required cultivation doubled.

The advancement from the Gangyuan Realm to the God Refining Realm is a

major threshold; practitioners in the Gangyuan Realm could only be addressed as Great Masters, while those in the God Refining Realm could be called True Masters and obtain a considerable status anywhere.

For example, in Tianxuan Mountain, one could become an Elder at the God Refining Realm; in the God Refining Realm one could be an inner sect Elder in the Canghai Sect, or an outer sect Elder in the Yinyang Sect.

In the Pihai Realm, one condenses True Qi into True Yuan, and after more than half is amassed, one can break through to the Gangyuan Realm, where True Yuan will continue to increase within the body during cultivation.

As these True Yuan circulate within the body, they partly enhance the Divine Spirit, allowing cultivators to slowly strengthen their Divine Spirit without the need to practice any secret techniques, and they acquire abilities such as sending secret messages with their voice and captivating people with a glance, among others.

When a Great Master of the Gangyuan Realm cultivates to the peak of the Nine Heavens, the Divine Spirit will also strengthen to a threshold, which is the threshold of the God Refining Realm.

If one can break through this threshold, the Divine Spirit will become fully formed, enabling the transition from the Gangyuan Realm to the God Refining Realm.

Refining the God in the God Refining Realm!

In this realm, the cultivator's Divine Spirit can continue to grow, significantly enhancing their senses, easily concealing perceptions from those below the Gangyuan Realm, and also affecting cultivators of the Gangyuan Realm.

An explosion of the power of the Divine Spirit will enable a cultivator to develop Spiritual Sense; the stronger the power of the Divine Spirit, the wider the coverage of the Spiritual Sense, which has boundless utility.

“I hope I can break through to the God Refining Realm soon.”

Walking to the window, Han Li stood with his hands clasped behind his back, watching his concubines playing in the garden, yet he carried a heavy weight on his shoulders.

The current situation in the Daqian Empire is becoming increasingly inscrutable, with undercurrents too turbulent for even a Great Master of the Gangyuan Realm to navigate.

In the past five years alone, the White Lotus Cult wreaked havoc in Huozhou, and the number one sect in Qingzhou, the Canghai Sect, lost a precious treasure, resulting in endless turmoil; yet the Daqian Empire has been slow to take effective measures.

The White Lotus Cult's fleeing Sect Hierarch Wu Sheng's Old Mother and the Law King have not been captured, and the Canghai Sect's precious Body-Cultivating Furnace has not been found; the true foundation of the Daqian Empire remains unfathomable.

In these surging undercurrents, it is predictable that the next great turmoil is not far away.

Although Han Li lives in relative seclusion, he too must have strength by his side; otherwise, when an accident occurs, he will have no power to resist.

Should the Han Family be obliterated, even if he manages to escape successfully, years of accumulation would be lost, forcing him to start anew, which is what Han Li does not wish to see.

Shaking his head, Han Li received thirty years of formation experience and took some time to absorb it.

After the absorption was complete, Han Li's eyes lit up; it perfectly filled a gap for him..
