Chapter 153 Mysterious Territory Shakes, Senior Sister Gongsunyue's Thoughts
Chapter 153: The Tremor in the Profound Domain, Senior Sister Gong Sun Yue's Thoughts
Above Tianxuan Mountain.
Han Li silently watched the escaping demonic cultivator and had no intention of pursuing him.
If this person hadn't insisted on showing off in front of him, Han Li wouldn't have wanted to fight. He would have hidden if he could, so that he could reuse this disguise.
Now that he had used the Heaven Sealing Sword Manual several times, it had caught the attention of those observing from the Myriad Manifestations Realm and the True Martial Realm. If he were to reuse the disguise and use the Heaven Sealing Sword Manual again, it would definitely be seen through at a glance.
"Sigh, couldn't we have resolved this peacefully?" Han Li sighed.
His strongest disguise had been exposed, and that demonic cultivator had paid a heavy price. Not to mention being struck by Han Li's sword several times, the Blood Escape technique he used at the end would definitely have significant aftereffects.
Otherwise, how could a mid-stage True Martial Realm cultivator unleash a speed comparable to that of a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor?
It had to be said that Han Li was a bit envious. Although this technique had significant aftereffects, it was undoubtedly a life-saving divine technique, comparable to the speed he had when he entered the Divine Sense.
"Cough cough~"
"Thank you, Senior, for lending a helping hand," Gong Sun Yun and the others coughed up some blood, suppressing their injuries, and flew up into the sky, preparing to respectfully salute Han Li.
Han Li lightly flicked his sleeve, interrupting their salute. Helplessly, he looked at them and said, "I have a deep connection with the founder of your Tianxuan Mountain. In the past, he took care of me a lot. Today, when Tianxuan Mountain is in danger, I will naturally not stand by and watch. There's no need for you to be so polite."
Gong Sun Yun was his master, and the other three were Grandmasters of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, each with a higher cultivation level than the last. It seemed that they were the successive sect masters of Tianxuan Mountain, so Han Li naturally couldn't accept their salutations.
He also spoke the prepared words he had thought of long ago, creating a background for this disguise of his, deliberately mentioning the founder of Tianxuan Mountain.
In this way, the outside world would think that Tianxuan Mountain had gained another True Martial Realm Martial King as a backer, and ordinary top powers would not easily make a move against Tianxuan Mountain.
After all, the founder of Tianxuan Mountain had a powerful True Martial Realm cultivator behind him, who had almost killed a mid-stage True Martial Realm cultivator from the demonic path with a single strike.
Gong Sun Yun and the others exchanged glances. Although they were puzzled as to when the deceased founder had made friends with a True Martial Realm Martial King, they could only give up and no longer salute.
"The grace of Senior will never be forgotten by Tianxuan Mountain for generations to come," Gong Sun Yun and the three Grandmasters said in a deep voice, their tone sincere and completely heartfelt.
Just now, they had almost fallen into despair. A mid-stage True Martial Realm cultivator from the demonic path was too terrifying. They had been defeated completely. If it weren't for this Senior's intervention, everyone in Tianxuan Mountain would have died here.
Han Li nodded slightly, just about to say something, when he saw a stunning woman with purple hair and a purple dress flying over and stopping beside Gong Sun Yun.
"Father, are you alright?" Gong Sun Yue asked while activating her Vital Spirit to heal Gong Sun Yun.
"Miss Yue, you only care about your father. What about us?" the three Grandmasters said sourly. They had also suffered serious injuries.
"Three ancestors, Yue'er also wants to, but Yue'er really can't do it."
Gongsun Yue stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit embarrassed. She also wanted to heal the injuries of the three ancestors, but she had the desire but lacked the ability.
Just healing her father Gongsun Yun's injuries would exhaust her Vital Spirit. After all, Gongsun Yun was a Grandmaster of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, while she was only at the peak of the Vital Spirit Realm.
Seeing the appearance of the beautiful senior sister, Han Li suddenly discovered that Gongsun Yue still had such a playful side. He had intended to take out a few spirit pills, but realized that the highest grade he had was only at the Soul Refining Realm of the sixth rank.
He couldn't bring out a sixth-grade spirit pill, as it didn't match his current identity and would greatly diminish his prestige. So Han Li silently withdrew that thought.
The three ancestors were just talking. Now that it was safe, they immediately took out healing pills and swallowed them. These were all fourth-grade spirit pills brought back from the Tai Xuan Sect.
Gongsun Yun stopped Gongsun Yue's actions and also took out two fourth-grade spirit pills to swallow and refine. In no time, their aura recovered significantly, and their complexion became much rosier.
Gongsun Yue looked at the refined middle-aged man not far away, lightly biting her red lips. A bold idea flashed through her mind, but she hesitated and didn't say it out loud.
Han Li glanced at senior sister Gongsun Yue and then withdrew his gaze. Now he had to maintain a dignified image, not that of an old ancestor taking concubines. He had thoughts about Gongsun Yue as well, wanting her to become his Dao companion, but he couldn't say such words with his current identity.
Looking at the massive flying ship below, Han Li probed with his spiritual sense and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It turned out to be a spatial magic treasure. He finally understood why Tian Xuan Mountain didn't retreat with the Great Qian Dynasty.
Originally, they wanted to escape using this Cloud Soaring Skyship and take everything from Tian Xuan Mountain with them. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and they fell just short of success.
"What are your plans for the future?" Han Li asked.
The three ancestors looked at Gongsun Yun, who smiled helplessly and said, "Originally, we planned to leave the Great Qian Dynasty on the Cloud Soaring Skyship and find another place to settle down. Unfortunately, we were intercepted by the Martial King of the Yin Yang Sect just as we were about to depart."
"If it weren't for the senior's help, we would all be dead now," Gongsun Yun said with a gloomy expression.
He had long been a Grandmaster of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, but he had always hidden his true strength, only displaying the cultivation of a Grandmaster in the Empty Void Realm. However, he couldn't even withstand a single move from the Martial King in the True Martial Realm and couldn't protect the people of Tian Xuan Mountain.
"Let's go. I'll escort you for a while and protect you for a hundred years," Han Li pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying.
Escorting them for a while was true, but protecting them for a hundred years was false. By then, he would pretend to be in seclusion at the new Tian Xuan Mountain and quietly leave.
The outside world would think that he was staying at the new Tian Xuan Mountain and wouldn't dare to easily provoke a True Martial Realm power. Tian Xuan Mountain would also have enough time to develop and settle down.
After several decades or even hundreds of years, his strength would probably have advanced to the Divine Origin Realm. At that time, he could make an appearance at Tian Xuan Mountain.
"Thank you, senior."
"We will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the senior."
Gongsun Yun and the three ancestors were overjoyed and immediately expressed their gratitude. Their faces were filled with excitement.
With the escort of this powerful True Martial Realm expert, they would be able to safely reach their destination and have enough time to develop. A mid-stage True Martial Realm personally vowing to protect them for a hundred years was like a golden signboard, a life-saving talisman for Tian Xuan Mountain.
Soon, Tian Xuan Mountain made some minor adjustments and set off again under Han Li's protection, heading towards their destination.
In these past few days, Gongsun Yun and the others had already chosen a new location for Tian Xuan Mountain. They were going to the territory of the Heaven Reaching Sect.
The northern region of the Daqian Dynasty is the Dajing Dynasty, and the northwest of the Dajing Dynasty is the Dagu Dynasty, while the northeast is the Qitian Sect.
The Qitian Sect's territory is about a quarter larger than that of the Daqian Dynasty. It is adjacent to the Moyu Domain, just like how the Qitian Sect is adjacent to the Dao Domain, serving as a chess piece for the Dao Sect in the Xuan Domain.
Tianxuan Mountain is considered a branch of the Taixuan Sect. It is suitable for development within the Qitian Sect's territory, away from the conflicts of the Daqian Dynasty, allowing for better development. It is also much closer to the Dao Domain, and perhaps a connection with the Taixuan Sect can be established.
The three ancestors have no intention of returning to the Taixuan Sect. They cannot cultivate to the True Martial realm in the Taixuan Sect, so they plan to exert their remaining strength and strengthen Tianxuan Mountain.
With four Grandmasters in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, Tianxuan Mountain can have a good development within the Qitian Sect's territory, essentially becoming the top power below the Qitian Sect.
The Qitian Sect is a branch of the Dao Sect and has the least rejection towards Tianxuan Mountain. Tianxuan Mountain also poses no threat to the position of the Qitian Sect, after all, Han Li will not stay in Tianxuan Mountain forever.
The speed of the Yunxiao Heavenly Boat is extremely fast, comparable to the mid-stage of the True Martial realm. It is heading towards the Qitian Sect. When passing through Yuanzhou, Han Li disappeared for a while, contacting Lutian Xiang and his other wives and concubines in Chengsheng Mountain, before returning to the Yunxiao Heavenly Boat.
Leizhou is located in the southernmost part of the Daqian Dynasty. The Yunxiao Heavenly Boat needs to traverse the Daqian Dynasty and the Dajing Dynasty before entering the territory of the Qitian Sect, which is very far away, with a distance of over 20 million li.
To reach the destination chosen by Gongsun Yun, they need to travel another six million li after entering the territory of the Qitian Sect, making a total journey of 26 million li.
The maximum speed of the Yunxiao Heavenly Boat is comparable to the fifth stage of the True Martial realm, reaching 350,000 li in one breath, but this requires a massive consumption of spiritual stones. It requires burning one million low-grade spiritual stones in one breath.
At this speed, the Yunxiao Heavenly Boat will take at least 75 breaths, requiring 75 million low-grade spiritual stones, which Tianxuan Mountain naturally does not have.
Over the years, Tianxuan Mountain has only accumulated less than 30 million low-grade spiritual stones, which cannot support the Yunxiao Heavenly Boat's flight for 75 breaths. Han Li does not need that much time either.
According to Gongsun Yun and the others' original plan, they only need to maintain the speed of an ordinary Myriad Manifestations Realm, and if they encounter an attack from the True Martial realm, they can speed up.
Moreover, they can also use their own Vital Spirit to replace the consumption of spiritual stones, which can greatly reduce the consumption of spiritual stones.
Han Li naturally does not want to waste too much time, so he personally takes action and infuses his own true essence into the Yunxiao Heavenly Boat to make it fly.
His true essence reserves are equivalent to the second stage of the True Martial realm. He only maintains the flight speed of the Yunxiao Heavenly Boat at the first stage of the True Martial realm, on one hand to avoid revealing his true strength, and on the other hand to preserve his true essence and guard against possible attacks.
However, the journey has been smooth so far. There have been no attacks from the Daqian Dynasty, the Dajing Dynasty, or within the territory of the Qitian Sect. No one wants to provoke a powerful True Martial realm Martial King.
After Han Li, Tianxuan Mountain, and the others leave Leizhou on the Yunxiao Heavenly Boat, the news of the battle in Leizhou quickly spreads among the observing powerhouses and is quickly known by major forces.
Daqian Dynasty, Imperial City.
Chu Dingqian sits cross-legged in a grand hall of the imperial palace, feeling somewhat mentally exhausted. He really wants to give up and find another place to cultivate the Devil Embryo and seize someone else's body for rebirth.
However, if he does that, he must hide his true body after planting the Devil Embryo. If it is accidentally discovered, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
Moreover, he is reluctant to leave the Daqian Dynasty. This is an empire he personally created, a glorious dynasty that has lasted for three thousand years, and it has cost him too much effort.
Chu Dingqian is waiting for the four armies of the Daqian Dynasty to withdraw from the central six provinces. After that, he will secretly seek the help of some True Martial realm Martial Kings. If they are willing to come and guard the Daqian Dynasty, Chu Dingqian is willing to pay a great price.
If there are no results within two years, Chu Dingqian will give up. Even if he is reluctant to leave the Daqian Dynasty, he must go and find a safe place, find a cultivator with potential, and plant the Devil Embryo for body possession.
The battle of the True Martial realm in Leizhou caused a great commotion. With Chu Dingqian's strength, even if he is far away in Yuanzhou, he can barely sense it, but he dare not go there for fear of being ambushed.
When the specific information about the battle comes, Chu Dingqian sighs with regret. If he had known earlier, he would have rushed over.
A powerful True Martial realm expert unexpectedly appeared in Daqian and severely injured Dugu Bing from the Yin Yang Sect with just a few sword strikes. This strength is at least at the fifth level of the True Martial realm, not inferior to him.
If he rushed over, there might be a chance to join forces and kill Dugu Bing, or at the very least, win over that elegant True Martial realm Martial King.
Daqian is currently in need of True Martial realm combat power, and just when that True Martial realm Martial King appeared, it was truly fortunate. Unfortunately, he missed the opportunity.
"If there's a next time, I will definitely rush over to take a look." Chu Dingqian said softly.
He felt very regretful in his heart. That powerful True Martial realm Martial King escorted Tianxuan Mountain into the territory of the Qitian Sect and was said to be protecting the mountain for a hundred years.
Chu Dingqian was envious. How could Tianxuan Mountain be so lucky? It would be great if that True Martial realm Martial King was willing to protect Daqian for a hundred years.
But everything had been missed.
Da Jing Dynasty, capital city.
When Emperor Jing and another True Martial realm Patriarch received the information, they immediately thought of the True Martial realm expert who had passed through Da Jing Dynasty earlier.
They marveled at the powerful combat strength of this True Martial realm expert and regretted missing an opportunity.
The origin of this True Martial realm expert is unknown, but it seems that he is extremely loyal and grateful. The founder of Tianxuan Mountain from a thousand years ago had shown him kindness, and even a thousand years later, he still came to repay the favor and save Tianxuan Mountain from danger.
This kind of True Martial realm expert is most suitable to win over. If they can win him over to the Da Jing Dynasty, the foundation of the dynasty will immediately skyrocket, giving them the confidence to expand into more territories in the central six provinces of Daqian.
On the city walls of the Martial Emperor City,
A middle-aged man in a mysterious yellow battle robe furrowed his brows slightly after receiving this information.
How did a True Martial realm Martial King with such powerful strength suddenly appear in Xuan Domain?
This True Martial realm Martial King's strength is not much inferior to his own. Who exactly is he?
The middle-aged man pondered for a while but couldn't guess the identity of this True Martial realm expert. Although there were quite a few True Martial realm experts in the Primordial Spirit Province of Qian, he knew almost all of them who had a name and a surname. However, there was no True Martial realm expert who used that kind of sword technique.
The Great Liang Dynasty, the Withered Prosperity Temple, the Qitian Sect, the Great Ancient Dynasty, and even the Yin Yang Sect all received this information. After learning the details of the Battle of Lei Province, they furrowed their brows, unable to guess the origin of this person.
On the other side, within the Qitian Sect's territory, in the new mountain gate of Tianxuan Mountain,
After saying a few words to Gongsun Yun and the others, Han Li was ready to take his leave. He wouldn't really stay here for a hundred years.
Gongsun Yun and the others were stunned. It turned out that the powerful True Martial realm Martial King's claim of staying for a hundred years was just a casual remark. But when they thought about it, it made sense. How could this senior really stay at Tianxuan Mountain for a hundred years?
This senior had a great favor towards Tianxuan Mountain, as for the claim of receiving kindness from the founder of the sect, it was only what this senior said, and they didn't know the specifics.
Moreover, the outside world didn't know that this senior had quietly left. As long as no one came to probe, it was equivalent to having a True Martial realm expert guarding Tianxuan Mountain.
Gongsun Yun and the others naturally wouldn't say anything. They were grateful beyond words.
However, at this moment, Gongsun Yue spoke, "Senior, I want to become your disciple and follow you in cultivation."
