Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch’s Marriage-Chapter 753

Chapter 753: Chapter 286: The Thousand Path Tree Sapling, Marrying Qin Shiyin, The Han Mansion Genius Battle Begins_2 Chapter 753: Chapter 286: The Thousand Path Tree Sapling, Marrying Qin Shiyin, The Han Mansion Genius Battle Begins_2 At times like these, Han Li was always magnanimous, striding into the ninth floor of the Time-Sky Tower with great poise, his arms wrapped around his tender wife and beautiful consorts.

There, they would discuss and exchange views on the Dao, exploring life’s aspirations and the profound truths of the Great Way.

Occasionally, Han Li would also make his way to Xumi Mountain, entering Little Western Heaven to find the female Bodhisattva Han Linxi, which also served as a pleasant diversion for him.

He had discovered that leaving Han Linxi to cultivate on Xumi Mountain had been an exceedingly wise decision, as she continued to draw his interest unabated.

The female Bodhisattva was now several months pregnant and had stopped venturing out from Little Western Heaven.

She stayed inside, dealing with the affairs of Xumi Mountain through her avatars, leaving a certain maiden in colorful skirts utterly astounded.

How could someone change so much in just a few months?

...

The maiden in colorful skirts expressed her incomprehension.

She often communicated with the female Bodhisattva, and upon hearing the “obscenities” and exceedingly bold ideas from her, she felt her own purity waning.

On this day, Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain was once again festooned with lights and banners, hosting an extremely grand matrimonial celebration.

Han Li was to wed Empress Qin Shiyin.

This news had already spread throughout the entire Yuankun Domain a month earlier; every power in the Eight Hundred Divine Regions and countless cultivators were aware of it.

This left numerous forces, including the Solar Empire and Tianji Pavilion, in a “blissful vexation.”

After Chengsheng Mountain took control over the entire Yuankun Domain, they certainly maintained their preceding style—apart from establishing branches of Han Mansion across the Eight Hundred Divine Regions, they refrained from any further major actions, much to the excitement of countless forces.

However, the frequent marriages and concubine intakes of Chengsheng Mountain’s Supreme had them presenting gifts each time, to maintain relations with Chengsheng Mountain, and at last, countless forces beyond Qianyuan Divine Province experienced the troubles of being dominated.

Offering congratulatory gifts was an art of subtlety.

It was about keeping the relationship with Chengsheng Mountain intact without inviting their retaliation, while also trying to minimize the loss.

Thus, the major forces of Yuankun Domain, after collecting intelligence on the gifting practices from the major powers of Qianyuan Divine Province, decided to slightly modify their approach.

They could ignore the matters of Han Li’s descendants marrying or taking concubines, not needing to travel vast distances to present congratulatory gifts.

When Han Li took concubines, based on the stature of the concubines, they would give ordinary gifts.

When Han Li married, if the bride was of ordinary status, they would give somewhat more precious gifts; for those wives whom Han Li valued highly, such as Heaven Imperial Realm Empresses who required grand celebrations, they would present their finest gifts.

By doing so, they significantly reduced the financial strain caused by gift-giving and maintained their relationship with Chengsheng Mountain.

If they gained Han Li’s favor, they could even garner more benefits.

Han Li’s wedding to Qin Shiyin was naturally a grandiose affair; invites were sent directly to the major forces of Yuankun Domain, summoning the heads of these forces to partake.

The date for wedding Qin Shiyin had been set months in advance, as Han Li had thought about legitimizing her status to free her from the stigma created by the White Emperor.

But since the White Emperor had been eradicated by him long ago, there was no longer a need to make arrangements for this matter, and it was never brought up again.

After proceeding through the wedding rituals, Qin Shiyin was escorted to her bridal chamber—this would be their nuptial room.

Han Li didn’t immediately follow; instead, he stayed in Yundao Hall to converse with several Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperors and Quasi Empresses.

Only after several rounds of drinks did Han Li leave, pleased.

After the exchange, Han Li already received hints from several Quasi Empresses that should he send an official proposal, they would be willing to marry him as cultivation partners.

Outside Qin Shiyin’s bridal chamber, Han Li arrived leisurely, smiling as he entered.

He was looking forward to it—Qin Shiyin was the first Heaven Imperial Realm Empress he had married, and Han Li had not yet shared the Dao with her, hence Qin Shiyin remained untouched to this day.

All was saved for this day.

When Han Li entered the bridal chamber and saw Qin Shiyin’s enchantingly beautiful form, she was no longer dressed in black with white stockings.

Instead, she wore bridal red, with the only change being the black leg rings on her slender legs replaced by red ones.

Han Li was naturally overjoyed at this sight.

“My dear Han, you’ve finally arrived~”

Qin Shiyin’s voice was laced with a hint of bashfulness and brimming with anticipation.

In the time leading up to this moment, Qin Shiyin had long since prepared herself mentally; after the prior marriage ceremony, she had been waiting to give herself to Han Li.

After a few months of interaction, Han Li had performed exceptionally well, surrounded by various impressive auras, which greatly increased Qin Shiyin’s favorable impression of him.

Although she wasn’t in love with Han Li, she was certainly not averse to discussing the Dao with him anymore.

“Shiyin, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time….”

Han Li sat down beside Qin Shiyin, wrapping one arm around her soft and slender waist tenderly, speaking sweet nothings with deep affection.

Han Li was no longer as impatient as before; now, he was very familiar with the process.

While sharing intimate whispers with Qin Shiyin, he simultaneously began the preamble to their Dao exchange.

Before they knew it, both were being completely open and honest with each other.

Han Li was explaining profound Daoist knowledge to Qin Shiyin in great detail and depth.

…….

The next day,

Han Li and Qin Shiyin shared a tender moment before concluding their morning practice.

Qin Shiyin was somewhat tired and fell into a deep sleep.

Han Li, on the other hand, left the sleeping chamber and headed to the summit of Chengdao Peak.

Taking advantage of the faint morning light, he first absorbed a breath of the morning’s purple essence, and then proceeded to reflect upon himself, as he did thrice daily.

After completing these rituals, Han Li went to find Feng Mian.

This beauty from Juvenile Giant Peak, with her youthful appearance and profound cultivation, held a special place in his heart and he found her irresistible.

Primarily because Feng Mian’s cultivation was advanced and her physical body robust, she could engage in combat with Han Li until the heavens darkened, and the sun and moon lost their light—a few years of Dao exchange with her posed no problem at all.

As time passed by, in the blink of an eye, six days had gone.

On this day, Chengsheng Mountain was buzzing with activity as numerous disciples of Han Mansion emerged from seclusion, making their way toward Battle Peak.

Today was the day of the annual battle of talents hosted by Han Mansion.

Countless disciples of Han Mansion and many others within the household gathered together to witness and partake in this grand event.

And those who registered to compete were rubbing their hands in anticipation, each with a different expression—some wore smiles, others were tense, and still, others appeared calm….

Because Han Mansion’s battle of talents was divided into five groups—God Refining Realm, Hollow Void Stage, Myriad Phenomena Realm, True Martial Realm, and Divine Yuan Realm—five battlefields were opened atop Battle Peak to serve as the arenas for each group.

“Yong Ji, I heard you received a great reward from our father last time and have made significant progress in strength.

Are you confident about making it into the top ten?”

A crew-cut youth dressed in yellow battle armor approached Han Yongji with a gentle smile on his face.

Han Yongji glanced at him, his expression unchanged, and merely said indifferently, “Yong Hui, you don’t need to probe my strength.

When we face each other, you will naturally know how strong or weak I am.”

The crew-cut youth, named Han Yonghui, was a son born of a concubine, but he possessed a decent king’s body and was highly intelligent.

His status within Han Mansion was not lower than the others.

Han Yongji did not like Han Yonghui, mainly because the two of them did not get along and there were some frictions between them.

Because Han Mansion prohibited infighting among kin, competition was allowed within limits, so the two would compete in other areas, and the annual battle of talents was their biggest opportunity to do so.

Han Yongji had also heard that Han Yonghui had encountered a serendipitous opportunity several months ago that advanced his cultivation to the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm and greatly enhanced his combat ability.

It was likely that he aspired to be in the top ten in the Myriad Phenomena Realm group.

Nevertheless, Han Yongji was also extremely confident in his own strength.

He had cultivated an emperor-level martial technique to the minor achievement stage, reaching an astonishing level of combat ability.

For this, he had paid a heavy price.

He had been training hard in the Time-Sky Tower all this time without indulging in any comforts.

Han Yonghui narrowed his eyes, sensing Han Yongji’s dislike for him, but he didn’t mind and just said, “Yong Ji, it seems you’re very confident about this battle of talents.

I won’t disturb you then.”

Deciding to leave, Han Yonghui had reached his objective of confirming the rumors about Han Yongji.

Han Yongji watched Han Yonghui walk away, glanced at the few people standing with him, his gaze flickered, but he said nothing and turned his attention to the debate battlefield.

Two descendants of Han Mansion at the Myriad Phenomena Realm were battling it out above.
