Chapter 471: Chapter 215: The Celestial Phoenix Moves the Nine Heavens! Xiang Xiang’s Birth Constitution! New Descendant of the Imperial Body! The Ancestor Takes a Wife and Concubines in Xuan Domain_2

Ji Mingyue and Zimiao Zhen both possessed combat abilities that exceeded their realms, mastering numerous emperor-level martial skills with unmatched might. Their clash was fierce, attracting the attention of powerful figures from the surrounding Divine Provinces.

Yuan Youwei watched for a while before her figure faded away; she had a mission to continue, striving to find Empress Yuanchu’s soul fragment sooner so that she could return to Yuanchu Mountain earlier.

It was mainly because Ji Mingyue and Zimiao Zhen were holding back, restraining themselves and testing each other, preventing a fierce battle from erupting. Thus, Yuan Youwei lost interest in watching.

As expected, after clashing for a while, Ji Mingyue and Zimiao Zhen each retreated and vanished from the skies above Guanghan Divine Province.

They both had their own missions, and it wasn’t the time to engage in battle. Creating too much of a disturbance and attracting attention wouldn’t be good, and besides, they did not relish the thought of so many powerful figures scrutinizing them, as it could easily reveal their strengths.

Although they were both probing, it was obvious to the discerning eye that Zimiao Zhen was at a disadvantage, being suppressed by Ji Mingyue. After all, it was normal for Zimiao Zhen to be inferior to Ji Mingyue since she had only recently broken through to the Sacred Abyss Realm.

….

In Qianyuan Divine Province, on Chengsheng Mountain.

Han Li was planning a significant event related to his future path.

What event?

Of course, it was a matter of personal significance.

Han Li was preparing to take a wife and concubines across the entire Xuan Domain.

By now, the information available about him had undergone a major update; he had become a mid-phase True Martial Realm powerhouse, standing at the apex of the whole Xuan Domain.

There were few practitioners in the True Martial Realm within the Xuan Domain to begin with, and even fewer were late-phase powerhouses. To the public, Han Li was Emperor Wu of the Sixth Heaven in the True Martial Realm.

In terms of strength, there were hardly any True Martial Realm Emperors in the entire Xuan Domain who could match the power Han Li displayed, no more than three.

In terms of status, Han Li was a disciple of Bai Yujing, the number one Sacred Land in Qianyuan Divine Province. Even other True Martial Realm Emperors from different forces in the Xuan Domain had to defer to him slightly.

In terms of potential, Han Li was a powerful reincarnated being, certified by Bai Yujing.

Han Li, not yet two hundred fifty years old, had already reached the mid-phase of the True Martial Realm and would easily break through to the Divine Yuan Realm in the future. External speculation suggested that if Han Li relied closely on Bai Yujing, he might become one of Bai Yujing’s core figures in the future, returning to the Tongxuan Realm.

Even if Han Li wouldn’t take charge of Bai Yujing, the number one Sacred Land in Qianyuan Divine Province, as a Tongxuan Realm powerhouse, he would still be able to shake Qianyuan Divine Province.

To the outside world, Han Li was a rising superstar, destined for a boundless future that was beyond reach.

And now was the best time to form a connection with Han Li.

Securing the support of a Tongxuan Realm powerhouse early meant certain substantial rewards in the future; the investment was far too lucrative.

Especially since Han Li held a fondness for beautiful women and enjoyed taking wives and concubines. Simply by presenting a highly talented and attractive female cultivator to be one of the old ancestor of Han Mansion’s wives or concubines, one could easily board this mighty ship braving the winds and waves.

However, it had been over half a month since Han Li joined Bai Yujing, and he had yet to make any moves, seemingly content with only taking brides from the territory of the Daqian Empire.

This caused some urgency among the higher-ups of other forces in the Xuan Domain. These matters were sensitive, and they could not be too proactive.

Han Li was fully aware of these intentions from the other forces. During this period, many cultivators had come to visit, and their words and deeds conveyed this very message.

Ancestor Han, we beg you to continue marrying and taking concubines. We simply can’t wait any longer.

Han Li had been holding off, not wanting to draw too much attention and also considering the standards for taking wives and concubines, whether to maintain the previous ones or to establish new criteria.

To control the number of his consorts, Han Li had previously set a standard.

Only beauties with looks scoring above eighty-five and talents reaching Fourth or Fifth Grade could become his concubines; beauties with looks scoring above ninety and talents reaching Third Grade or above could become his wives.

Of course, special circumstances allowed for exceptions.

After some thought, Han Li decided not to raise the standards anymore. If he set the requirement that only Fourth Grade talent could be concubines and Second or First Grade talent could be wives, he probably wouldn’t be able to marry or take concubines.

Even as a reborn Saint, it was an issue because the Xuan Domain was too small.

The higher the talent of the cultivator, the fewer in number—this was a constant in the Xuan Domain, in Qianyuan Divine Province, and even in the Endless Yuankun Domain.

Female cultivators of high talent were even scarcer, not even half the number of the entire high-talent cultivator population, approximately a six-to-four ratio.

Besides talent, there were also requirements for looks, which would eliminate many beautiful female cultivators. This was not conducive to the endeavors of Ancestor Han.

Han Li was skeptical whether there remained any other Second or First Grade talented beauties in the Xuan Domain.

Though he had married many beautiful wives, the ones who were Second or First Grade talents and belonged to the Xuan Domain were only Long Yue, Murong Ying, and Yao Xi. They weren’t of First Grade talent initially; their talent had only been enhanced after awakening Dormant Wisdom or following the release of their Divine Spirit seals.

Xue Yueqing and Ling Lingshuang, despite being of Second and First Grade talent, were not from the Xuan Domain; Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yue, Bai Keqing, and others had initially only been of Fourth or Third Grade talent and had recently improved to Second or First Grade talent through the Life-Prolonging Furnace.

Currently, Han Li had not heard of any beautiful female cultivators in the Xuan Domain with Second or First Grade talent. Such talent held immense potential and once revealed, Sacred Lands would actively come to recruit them. Even True Martial Realm forces couldn’t hold on to them if they tried.
