The convoy stretching for ten miles majestically left Lingjun City, heading northward. It would pass through six manors before reaching the border between Leizhou and Qingzhou.

Within Leizhou territory, it was still relatively safe. Once they reached the border, they would venture through a vast desolate area, which was also the place most likely to be attacked.

Many bandits were entrenched along the borders of each province, and those that had managed to survive had various factors influencing their existence.

After reaching Qingzhou, they would travel in the northeast direction, passing through eight manors, crossing over six hundred thousand miles, and then finally arrive at the Qingji Border.

Upon entering Jizhou, they had to detour to avoid the Province City, hence they would pass through nine manors, with a journey of over eight hundred thousand miles.

After reaching Yuanzhou, by passing through another seven manors, they would arrive at Yonchang Manor, the place Han Li had chosen, with about five hundred thousand miles of travel within Yuanzhou.

This was the migration route devised by Han Li, prioritizing safer roads, preferring to spend more time rather than take risks.

As time went by, the migrating caravan proceeded all the way to Zhending Manor without encountering any dangers along the way, thanks to Han Li’s Spiritual Sense paving the way.

Major troubles were diverted around, while minor issues were handled by the family guards or descendants. For this move, Han Li even specifically recruited a few cultivators from the Pihai Realm.

With the display of his Gang Yuan Realm cultivation, coupled with the temptation of Pihai Realm cultivation enriching elixirs, Spirit Stones, and Pihai Realm weapons, these cultivators agreed after only slight hesitation.

Due to the sheer size of the migrating team, stretching for ten miles, they still attracted quite a bit of attention along the way.

Upon learning that Han Mansion’s purpose was to leave Leizhou, those smaller forces breathed a sigh of relief, as even the strongest among these forces were only at the Pihai and Gang Yuan Realms—if the Han Family moved in, it would encroach on their resources.

Larger forces, on the other hand, were indifferent. The Han Family’s relocation was still within their territories nominally under the rule of the Daqian Empire, but in reality governed by various sects.

Leizhou and Qingzhou were connected by three manors with checkpoints for travel between them, which were Zhenwen Manor, Zhending Manor, and Zhenyi Manor.

Traveling through Zhenwen Manor into Qingzhou would allow quick access to Huozhou; traveling through Zhending Manor into Qingzhou would allow quick access to Jizhou; and traveling through Zhenyi Manor into Qingzhou would allow quick access to Luzhou.

When the migrating team arrived about two hundred miles from Zhou Pass, it was already the hour of Xu, getting late, so the caravan stopped for rest, planning to enter Qingzhou the next day.

The massive convoy compacted, forming concentric circles around Han Li’s carriage at the center, with a large number of guards patrolling on precious horses in the outermost ring.

Within the convoy, there was approximately a two-meter gap between each circle, where maids shuttled back and forth, carrying various foods and fruits to deliver to the masters in their carriages.

In the center of the convoy, Han Li was also busy, at the moment instructing his descendants.

Before him were Han Yonglin, Han Yongyun, and other descendants who had just turned eight, as well as Han Yongfan, Han Yongyan, and others who had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

With the resources provided by the Han Family, those with better aptitude had already cultivated to the True Qi of the Third Realm, while those with lesser talent were lingering in the First and Second Realms.

Han Li had over one hundred and sixty descendants with innate gifts; there were many below eight years old, and even more above eight, numbering about a hundred.

The migration was expected to take two years, and Han Li did not wish for the prime-aged descendants to miss out on cultivation time, so he had no choice but to teach and instruct them on the journey.

As for his beauties, they needed to be privately taught and imbued with essence. Among his concubines, those with good aptitude had already cultivated to the Pihai Realm, the rest were concentrated in the Innate Realm, and only those new concubines who had been taken in recently were below the Innate Realm.

Because of the Body-Cultivating Furnace, every time Han Li imparted essence to them, not only did it enhance their cultivation, but it also improved their aptitude, gradually accelerating their cultivation speed.

Presently, even the concubines with the poorest aptitude had reached Fourth Grade, the majority were at Seventh Grade, a few were at Sixth Grade, and as for Fifth Grade, there were only two—the sisters Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, with Lin Yiyin’s aptitude only recently upgraded.

Not only were the concubines’ aptitudes improving, Han Li’s own aptitude was also on the rise. In this period, not many gifted descendants were born, but the Body-Cultivating Furnace had significantly enhanced his talents.

Han Li had reviewed his aptitude on the system panel; it was steadily increasing and had now reached Fifth Grade 12%, which was much higher than when he first advanced to Fifth Grade aptitude.

What he regretted was that the Body-Cultivating Furnace could only raise a cultivator’s aptitude to a max of Fourth Grade, and it would require a vast amount of time.

“Yonglin, Yongyun, Yongfu… how is the cultivation of the Five Elements Formula I taught you? Have you made any entry into it?”

“`

Looking at his descendants, Han Li called out their names one by one and inquired about their cultivation progress.

The Five Elements Formula was an Earth-Level Lower Rank cultivation technique, divided into eight layers, and could be cultivated up to the Hollow Void Stage. Han Li temporarily used it as the foundational cultivation method for his family.

As for the earlier Sacred Heart Scripture, it was only of Profound Rank median grade, divided into six layers, and could only be cultivated up to the Gangyuan Realm. It was taught to family guards and Guest Elders, of course, requiring them to make corresponding contributions and establish sufficient merits.

“Father, I have already cultivated to the late stage of the first layer,” Han Yonglin said excitedly, with a somewhat proud expression, head held high, waiting for Han Li’s praise.

Reaching the late stage of the first layer meant he had cultivated to the late stage of the Body Forging Realm, and this left Han Li somewhat astonished; a Fourth Grade talent was indeed remarkable.

He himself had taken a full two years to break through to the late stage of the Body Forging Realm, which was related to starting his cultivation at the age of sixteen, having poor talent, inferior cultivation methods, and lacking cultivation resources.

Han Yonglin achieved such results in less than a month, which, apart from having good talent, was also related to having good cultivation methods, abundant cultivation resources, and guidance from Han Li, a Grandmaster, during his optimal cultivation period.

“Very good, much stronger than your father in his time,” Han Li spared no praise.

“Father, father, I am also close to reaching the late stage of the first layer,” Han Yongyun hurriedly said, also seeking Han Li’s commendation.

Han Li could see at a glance that his cultivation was at the sixth layer of Body Forging Realm, which was also quite good, so he praised him as well.

“Father, I’ve only cultivated to the early stage of the first layer.”

“Father, I just reached the mid-stage of the first layer.”

“Father…”

Han Yongfu and the other descendants spoke up in turn, but their expressions were somewhat inferior, and compared to Han Yonglin and Han Yongyun, they were far behind.

Han Li understood quite well; after all, these descendants only had talent at the Seventh or Eighth Grade, and they were still teaching Earth Rank practice methods, which were relatively difficult to master. If it weren’t for his guidance, it would probably take even longer to see the progress they were now making.

For those descendants with lesser talent, Han Li took an encouraging approach, letting them know that continuous diligent practice would also lead to achievements in the future.

This was not just talk; once they moved to Yuanzhou, he planned to find the Rebirth Flower as quickly as possible, refine the Rebirth Pills, and then all descendants with talent could raise their talent to the Fourth Grade, reaching the same level as Han Yonglin.

He was not ready to reveal this just yet; he still needed to take secrecy measures and prepare everything properly before enhancing the talents of his descendants. Fortunately, he already had a detailed plan in place, waiting only for the move to Yuanzhou.

Yuanzhou, that was where the rise of the Han Family would begin.

In Yuanzhou, a tremendously large cultivation family would emerge.

By then, the Han Family would be the true power behind the scenes in the Daqian Empire, and perhaps even in the Xuan Domain.

After resolving the cultivation doubts raised by Han Yonglin, Han Yongfu, and the other descendants, he said, “Those with good talent mustn’t be arrogant, and those with lesser talent shouldn’t be discouraged. Your father also didn’t have high talent but achieved what he has today through relentless diligence.”

“You must remember one sentence, ‘In the future, all things are possible.'”

“I will do my best to create a relatively fair cultivation environment for you all. Just wait and see,” Han Li said.

Han Li turned to Han Yongfan, Han Yongyan, and others, and said, “The same goes for you.”

“Yes, Father,” Han Yonglin, Han Yongfan, and the others replied excitedly, their eyes filled with admiration when they looked at Han Li.

Outsiders thought their father was a Great Master of the Gangyuan Realm, but they knew that their father was a True Being of the God Refining Realm, incredibly powerful.

This was a secret they held in their hearts, one that they would never speak of to others.
