But he was merely at the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm, far from reaching the peak, let alone breaking through to the Divine Yuan Realm.

Thus, Chu Dingqian entertained other ideas.

Few knew that Chu Dingqian hailed from the Devil Region and was once a Cultivator of the demon path who had slain countless lives.

In the Hollow Void Stage, he had chanced upon a heritage site, where he acquired a great opportunity that allowed him to raise his aptitude from Fourth Grade to Third Grade, rapidly rising to prominence and breaking through to the True Martial Realm.

Within that heritage, Chu Dingqian also acquired an incomplete Devil Cultivation Technique, known as the “Demonic Fetus Technique.”

The grade of the Demonic Fetus Technique was high; even incomplete, it reached the lower rank of the Divine Rank, and Chu Dingqian treasured it as a prized possession.

However, upon deeper research, it left Chu Dingqian vexed and deeply cautious, daring not to practice it and relegated it to the shelves.

Upon cultivating the Demonic Fetus Technique, one could transform a thread of their Divine Spirit essence into a Devil Fetus, hide it in the deepest part of another’s spirit to sleep soundlessly, and continuously consume the host’s essence of the spirit.

Once a certain stage was reached, one could transfer their core spirit into the Devil Fetus, directly supplanting the host to be reborn and live another life.

But this Divine Rank Practice was incomplete, and cultivating it came with great risks, which was why Chu Dingqian dared not practice it.

Implanting the Devil Fetus into the deepest part of another’s spirit was risky; if the host’s spirit was too powerful, the Devil Fetus would be destroyed, the practitioner would suffer backlash, and their Power of the Divine Spirit would be greatly damaged.

The Devil Fetus would nourish the host; if the host grew too quickly before the transfer of the spirit core, like advancing to the True Martial Realm, it would detect the Devil Fetus and still suffer backlash.

The most crucial point was that after the parasite Devil Fetus settled, the practitioner needed to remain dormant and could not easily take action, or else severe consequences would ensue.

Chu Dingqian hesitated for a long time before practicing it, but faced with dwindling lifespan, he decided to risk it.

He implanted the Devil Fetus deep within the spirit of a descendant with decent aptitude. In the final year of his life, this descendant cultivated to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, the Devil Fetus matured, and Chu Dingqian took control.

His Divine Spirit was exceptionally strong and the descendant’s Myriad Phenomena Realm spirit couldn’t resist at all, and he was replaced by Chu Dingqian.

As the descendant, Chu Dingqian inherited everything and even struggled for the throne, eventually becoming the new Emperor Qian of the Daqian. After a period of time, he once again cultivated to the True Martial Realm.

When he reached the age of 1700 in this body, Chu Dingqian once again used the Demonic Fetus Technique, this time choosing Chu Hao and nesting within the depths of his spirit.

With the nourishment of his Devil Fetus, Chu Hao rose rapidly, becoming the famed Prince Wu’an, and he even had the capital to break through the True Martial Realm.

Chu Dingqian naturally did not wish for Chu Hao to advance swiftly. He had planned to directly replace him but later discovered a great opportunity. He made Chu Hao wait in Leizhou, insisting he must obtain the King Grade Pill.

In reality, Chu Dingqian planned to replace Chu Hao right after he obtained the Dragon Ball, so he could refine the Dragon Ball in Chu Hao’s identity and live out a third life.

Chu Wuji knew about this plan; he didn’t say anything, as Chu Dingqian couldn’t implant a Devil Fetus within him, and even passed on the Demonic Fetus Technique to him. The two agreed to refine the Dragon Ball together.

But now, both Chu Wuji and Chu Hao were dead.

The Daqian had lost a True Martial Realm cultivator, and he no longer had a prepared new body; Chu Hao’s body was much better than his current one.

Chu Dingqian was full of hatred but powerless to do anything about it.

Now, he had less than fifty years of life left; it was already too late. The Devil Fetus needed time to mature, at least fifty years or as much as two hundred years, unless he chose those cultivators with very low cultivation.

But once he died, the Qian Dynasty would be doomed; even if he successfully took over a minor cultivator’s body, such a weak cultivator would have great difficulty surviving in these chaotic times.

Chu Dingqian utterly detested Jiang Zhengyang and the Hemp-Robed Elder, for had they not attacked Chu Hao and Chu Wuji, even without seizing the Dragon Ball, he could have replaced Chu Hao and lived out a third life, still as a True Martial Realm ancestor.

With himself and Chu Wuji, the Qian Dynasty could still retain a vast territory despite some sacrifices.

But now, everything was gone.

“If only Daqian had one more True Martial Realm,” Chu Dingqian muttered to himself.

With two True Martial Realms in the Qian Dynasty, especially since he was close to death, the other True Martial Realm experts would be wary, afraid that he would go mad and drag others down with him.

As long as Daqian still stood, he could replace a minor cultivator and grow steadily.

But he knew this was impossible.

“Sigh.”

Chu Dingqian sighed, stood up, and walked out of the main hall. His terrifying aura was released without restraint, spreading throughout half of the Qian Dynasty. He wanted the world to know he was still alive.

At the same time, Chu Dingqian issued a series of commands, ordering those high officials of Daqian to quickly retreat to the Mid Six Province, and to take everything that could be taken from the Twelve Province.

Chu Dingqian was determined to give up most of the territory, only keeping the Mid Six Province. With his power, he could still temporarily stabilize the situation, striving for time to cultivate the Devil Fetus.

When Chu Dingqian released his aura, Han Li in Yuanzhou sensed it immediately.

“This is… the aura of the True Martial Realm. The Qian Dynasty still has Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm; their foundation is just too deep,” Han Li marveled.

With such depth in their three-thousand-year foundation, Han Li wondered how many True Martial Realm experts the Ancient Empire might have.

However, Han Li was actually pleased with this development. It was good that the Qian Dynasty still had a True Martial Realm—enough to stabilize the situation somewhat, and at the very least, able to protect the territory of the Mid Six Province.

For the sake of Han Mansion’s secure development and his continued survival, Han Li even considered creating an alias to support the Qian Dynasty and help stabilize the situation.

Two True Martial Realms were more than enough to defend the Mid Six Province. The four major forces each occupying parts of the Sanzhou would likely not continue to fight to the death against Daqian.

The more Han Li thought about it, the more he felt this approach was reliable.

The newly emerged True Martial Realm of Daqian would definitely want to win over his alias as one of Daqian’s strongest combatants and would surely be willing to pay a price. Some of his more wicked ideas might just be realized this way.

Later on, as a True Martial Realm ancestor of Daqian, his alias could also take many concubines, further spreading the risk.

For the time being, the ancestor Han had not yet decided how to proceed, so he decided to wait and see, pondering carefully whether this plan was feasible.

Several days later,

The ancestor Han stealthily made his way to Qingzhou again.

He had already decided to come and check every week to monitor the situation at Tianxuan Mountain, and to see if the Secret Territory might emerge ahead of time.

After carefully verifying the situation, ancestor Han found everything to be fine. The Sacred Dragon Secret Realm above Yingyuan Mountain showed no signs of emergence, and the Dragon Princess had also disappeared without a trace.

The Mountain Protection Array of Tianxuan Mountain was always activated. Han Li couldn’t see through to the inside from a great distance, but it was good that Tianxuan Mountain was not destroyed.

As Han Li was about to return to Chengsheng Mountain, he suddenly made a new discovery, his face lighting up with joy.

He spotted a fiery figure flying cautiously through Qingzhou, heading in the direction of the Canghai Sect.

Han Li recognized that figure at a glance—it was Yun Miaoyi, the Devil Princess he had been thinking about for a long time.

Although Han Li didn’t know what the Devil Princess Yun Miaoyi was sneaking into Qingzhou for, he knew that her timing was just right.

Han Li had previously thought about sneaking into the Yinyang Sect to steal away from home, wanting to quietly capture Yun Miaoyi to become his consort. But because he did not know her exact location and feared the other True Martial Realm experts of the Yinyang Sect, he had not acted.

Now that the Devil Princess Yun Miaoyi had come to Qingzhou by herself, it was as if she was delivered to his doorstep. Han Li felt that even the heavens were helping him.

He dared not capture the Dragon Princess, and the Demon King was trapped in the Secret Territory and couldn’t be captured at the moment, so capturing the little Devil Princess for now was also fine.
