One year later.

Han Li was having a great time with the charming concubines in the back garden. A group of stunningly beautiful women surrounded him, each with their own tasks, providing Han Li with the ultimate enjoyment.

“My lord, Sister Qin is about to give birth.”

At this moment, Liu Yuexin whispered into Han Li’s ear.

Han Li immediately stood up, said farewell to his many consorts, and strode towards the courtyard where Qin Buhui was.

Qin Buhui was a new concubine that Han Li had taken; she had joined him two months after the Chu family twins, had sixth-grade aptitude, and was at the Innate Realm. She had willingly become his concubine for certain reasons.

Over the course of the year, the Chu family twins and four other new concubines had each given birth to offspring in turn, adding four or five more children under Han Li’s knees.

Han Li’s other concubines also bore some children this year, and some of them were now pregnant, expected to give birth to new offspring next year.

Even the old ancestors of the Han family were working hard to spread their seed; his descendants inherited his diligence and continued to reproduce, increasing the Han family’s population even further.

To this day, Han Li already had 399 descendants. Once Qin Buhui gave birth to this child, he would reach a total of 400 descendants, signaling another huge bounty.

“Wah~”

With the sound of a baby’s cry echoing in the room, Qin Buhui’s child was born—it was a girl, and a notification sounded in Han Li’s mind.

Han Li didn’t go to look; instead, he held tightly to Qin Buhui’s soft and boneless hand, giving her full security, and kissed her forehead repeatedly.

After speaking with Qin Buhui for a while and ensuring she would rest well, Han Li left. A look of joy remained on his face the entire time, which made Qin Buhui very happy.

In his sleeping chamber, Han Li lay leisurely on the bed, beginning to check his gains.

“Your number of descendants has surpassed four hundred; you have gained fifty years of cultivation; you have obtained three Pihai Pills; you have obtained a profound-rank top-grade martial art technique, ‘The Lifetaker Sword Scripture’.”

Fifty years of cultivation in hand!

Han Li was quite pleased; he had now accrued a total of eighty-five years of cultivation, which was enough to further advance his own level.

Three Pihai Pills was also good. The concubines he had married earlier had all reached the Innate Realm. Among the concubines he took later, Qin Buhui, Qiu Yueyao, and Lin Yiyin were also at the Innate Realm, while Lin Yiwu was at the Pihai Realm.

He had already accumulated quite a few Pihai Pills, enough to allow these Innate Realm concubines to break through to the Pihai Realm one after another.

With the effect of the Body-Cultivating Furnace, all his concubines had varying degrees of improvement in aptitude; those with poorer aptitude improved more and were at least sixth-grade aptitude.

On the contrary, the aptitude of sisters Lin Yiyin and Lin Yiwu improved only slightly, mainly because their aptitude was already better.

The combination of Pihai Pills and the effects of the Body-Cultivating Furnace guaranteed that the Innate Realm concubines could break through to the Pihai Realm with a one hundred percent success rate, without any accidents.

Han Li also distributed a large amount of cultivation techniques and martial arts skills for his consorts to practice, most being yellow-ranked supreme grade and profound-ranked mid to low grade. He did not teach them the Step Booster Technique and the Indestructible Vajra Divine Technique yet; he would wait until they were more skilled to avoid complications.

“Hoo~”

After assimilating the Lifetaker Sword Scripture, Han Li added another powerful offensive martial technique to his arsenal, barely making up for a weakness.

Although the Xuantian Punch and the God Slaying Sword Scripture were higher ranked, they were difficult to cultivate, and he had not yet reached the minor achievement stage. The Lifetaker Sword Scripture was merely a profound-rank top grade, but at the perfected level, its power was strong, nearly touching the threshold of Earth Level Martial Arts.

Afterwards, Han Li took part of the accumulated cultivation and raised his realm to the ninth peak of the God Refining Realm, using forty years’ worth of cultivation, which was five years more than he had initially estimated.

The enhancement of his cultivation caused his Power of the Divine Spirit to surge, nearly doubling, and his Spiritual Sense also increased significantly, covering about two thousand miles; his five senses were also much enhanced.

Having reached this step in cultivation, Han Li’s level had officially reached the pinnacle of the God Refining Realm. He also acquired a perfected level Lifetaker Sword Scripture, greatly enhancing his strength.

After all this, Han Li folded his hands behind his head, deep in thought.

The number of descendants had grown from three hundred to four hundred in less than four years; the speed of branching out had accelerated considerably, and to expand to five hundred would take, at most, another three years.

With an additional hundred descendants, Han Li’s lifespan also increased by a hundred years, and now his lifespan limit had risen to over 850 years.

His current aptitude had improved significantly compared to when he had just advanced to the God Refining Realm. If there were a progress bar, it would be at roughly 55% of the Sixth-grade, still 45% away from advancing to Fifth-grade aptitude.

Upon cultivating to the peak of the God Refining Realm, the power of the Divine Spirit had strengthened to another threshold, temporarily unable to continue rising unless a breakthrough to the Hollow Void Stage was achieved.

For a cultivator at the peak of the God Refining Realm to break through to the Hollow Void Stage, one must comprehend the rudiments of a martial truth. This so-called martial truth is a broad concept, which more specifically could manifest as Sword Intent, Blade Intent, Fist Intent, and so forth.

A true person of the God Refining Realm senses heaven and earth, humanity, and all things with their Divine Spirit. Once they penetrate the illusory and glimpse the profound mysteries, they can condense their own rudimentary form of martial truth.

Every cultivator in the Hollow Void Stage possesses their own martial truth. Even if they have all comprehended Sword Intent, each is unique, following their own martial path, and only thus can one be called a Grandmaster.

The strength of a Dongxu Realm Cultivator who has mastered the rudimentary form of martial truth will skyrocket, and even a newly-advanced Hollow Sect Master can easily defeat a multitude of peak cultivators from the God Refining Realm.

It’s practically impossible for a cultivator in the God Refining Realm to overturn someone in the Hollow Void Stage. The further one advances in cultivation, the greater the difference between each Big Realm, and not even a genius can challenge across realms.

To be able to cultivate to the Hollow Void Stage and become a Grandmaster of a sect, who isn’t a genius? Whose aptitude could be considered poor?

“Hiss~”

When Han Li saw the cultivation needed to break through to the Hollow Void Stage, he was tempted to start condensing his own martial truth rudiments.

The amount was indeed too much, surpassing his expectations.

He estimated that a breakthrough from the peak of the God Refining Realm to the Hollow Void Stage would require about two hundred years of cultivation, but the System had indicated four hundred years, doubling the amount.

Considering that his Sixth-grade aptitude was quite good, under normal circumstances, it would be hopeful to break through the Hollow Void Stage within a hundred years, finding his own martial path and condensing his martial truth rudiment.

The System explained that with Sixth-grade aptitude, the probability of breaking through the illusions, finding the martial path, and advancing to the Hollow Void Stage was less than twenty percent.

If he were to expend four hundred years of cultivation, not only would he achieve it in one go, saving a great deal of time, but the martial truth rudiment he condensed would also be extraordinarily powerful.

Han Li fiddled with it a bit more and finally understood.

To break through quickly, the cultivation required was double the normal amount; to condense a powerful martial truth rudiment, it needed to be doubled again.

Han Li felt this was a bit of a trap, but it was acceptable. Although four hundred years of cultivation was substantial, it would only take about ten years or so to accumulate it, indeed saving a considerable amount of time.

Without needing to cultivate or comprehend the Dao himself, enjoying the days like an immortal, while also being able to condense a powerful martial truth rudiment, it felt like a good deal when he thought about it.

Furthermore, if his aptitude were to rise to Fifth-grade, the required cultivation would also be halved, for the probability of a Fifth-grade aptitude breaking through to the Hollow Void Stage was at least fifty percent.

Han Li felt that raising his aptitude to Fifth-grade before breaking through to the Hollow Void Stage would be very challenging.

To advance quickly, the only way was to find a concubine with Fourth-grade aptitude and have a few descendants with Fourth-grade aptitude.

But where could he find a beautiful female cultivator with Fourth-grade aptitude?

Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi had Fourth-grade aptitude, but these two were now avoiding him, and he didn’t want to cause trouble.

The daughter of the Sect Leader Gongsun Yue? Whether she had Fourth-grade aptitude, Han Li did not know.

Han Li thought it over and still had no idea where to find a beautiful female cultivator with Fourth-grade aptitude in Leizhou.

The ageless mother and the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect were said to be female cultivators, but Han Li immediately ruled them out.

Both were old maids, and one was a Hollow Realm Master while the other was a Grandmaster Wanxiang, beyond his reach.
