Chengsheng Mountain, Chengdao Peak.
After exchanging a few words with Chu Zhenxiong, Han Li returned to Han Mansion.
Seven days later, Han Li, in the guise of Li Feiyu, would openly stand on the side of the Da Qian Royalty, announcing his allegiance to the Qian Dynasty, who in turn would arrange an identity for his alias.
These seven days were also the time for Chu Dingqian to collect resources. Among Han Liâs six conditions, aside from the fifth, the rest required preparation, as dispensing so many resources and treasures all at once would strain the resources of the Qian Dynasty.
For Han Li, the fourth and fifth conditions were the most important as they would be very useful to him.
The fourth condition included a Heaven Rank High Grade Sword, which upon acquisition could replace the Zhenjun Sword, a Supreme Grade Earth Rank sword whose use of the Sealing Heaven Sword Codex only allowed for combat ability equal to the True Martial Realmâs Fifth Heaven.
A Lower Grade Heaven Rank Divine Sword would enhance his combat ability further, reaching the Sixth Heaven of the True Martial Realm; whereas a Heaven Rank High Grade Sword would allow for even more improvement, and even if it did not reach the later stages of the True Martial Realm, it would not be far off.
A Heaven Rank High Grade Sword was normally a weapon of Divine Yuan Realm level, usually wielded by Emperor Wu, and a common Myriad Phenomena Realm practitioner could only activate a small part of its power, but Han Li could unleash its full potential.
The fourth condition was about boosting short-term combat ability, while the fifth condition was for long-term planning. The Da Qian Royalty, being one of the Eight Great Forces of Mysterious Region, had many high-quality and beautiful female cultivators under its banner, with a significant portion belonging to the Da Qian Royalty itself.
Currently, this was Han Liâs plan:
For his identity as Han Li, except for the destined female Demon King, he would not marry again for the time being. However, he could occasionally take concubines; otherwise, it would seem too out of character and inconsistent with his previous style.
As for his identity as Li Feiyu, he could openly take many wives and concubines, expanding his harem.
This identityâs cultivation was very high, being a powerful martial king of the True Martial Realm, enough to make many proud daughters of heaven willingly become his wives and concubines.
Da Qian being so vast, naturally, there were more than Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Gongsun Yue as peerless beauties; they were just from the southern three provinces of Da Qian.
In the remaining fifteen provinces of Da Qian, there were many more high-quality female cultivators that did not pale in comparison to the three women, all of which were potential wives and concubines for Han Li.
Though now Da Qian had only six provinces left, many high-quality female cultivators from the Outer Twelve States had also relocated to the Mid Six Province, so overall, the decrease in high-quality female cultivators was only partial.
In this chaotic era, internal forces within Da Qian would think of clinging to Li Feiyuâs powerful support. Knowing Li Feiyuâs preferences, they would offer women actively, and a portion of those proud daughters would take the initiative to come forth due to various considerations.
Chu Zhenxiong might just let it be; the old man is nearly at deathâs door, clinging to powerful support would be useless, in the end, they would have to rely on Li Feiyu.
For those part not coming forth on their own, Han Li could use means to intimidate or force marriages. Thus, The Li Manor could increase its population rapidly, and Han Liâs number of descendants and those with naturally high talents would quickly grow.
It might take less than two years for him to advance to the True Martial Realm and become a true martial king.
As for the negative impact of such actions?
Han Li did not consider this; he wasnât a good person to begin with. His priority was to ensure his own interests, and after all, being one of his wives or concubines came with many benefits.
Of course, Han Li still hoped that these proud daughters would take the initiative, so he wouldnât have to shoulder some unfavorable reputation.
Apart from high-quality female cultivators from families and sects within Da Qian, Han Liâs targets also included the Da Qian Royalty.
Having flourished for many generations, the Da Qian Royalty had numerous members, among whom countless beautiful female cultivators with excellent talents.
Han Liâs main targets were the princesses, county princesses, and female cultivators from other noble familiesâgenerally, these women were of beautiful appearance, with talents no less than Seventh Grade, mostly concentrated around the Fifth or Sixth Grade, rarely Fourth Grade, and probably none at Third Grade.
Han Li would only marry beautiful virgins from these ranks, and although he would play the role of a conqueror, he had high standards and would select only a few high-quality ones as concubines.
While this could lead to associations with Han Li, it wasnât a big issueâthe gap in cultivation and status between the two identities was too significant.
Moreover, it wasnât only Han Li who coveted beauty in this world and enjoyed marrying and taking concubines; not to mention the Mysterious Region and Qianyuan Divine Province, even in the former Qian Dynasty, there were many such individuals.
Now, thereâs just one more powerful ancestor with a penchant for taking concubines.
As for the other conditions, such as Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques and martial arts, Heaven Rank Magical Treasures, and Third Grade Spirit Pills, they werenât of much use to Han Li himself; these were meant for his cherished wives, concubines, and the Han Mansion.
âTianxiang, Jiang Jiang⦠Yueyao, Yiwu⦠Iâm back.â
Han Liâs voice reached the ears of Lu Tianxiang, Qiu Yueyao, and other beloved wives and concubines, each reacting differently, some continuing to cultivate, some carrying on with their activities, and others flying towards the direction of Han Liâ¦
The one who flew to the summit of Chengdao Peak was Senior Sister Gongsun Yue, which slightly surprised Han Li; the innocent senior sister had been avoiding him these past few days. Could it be that she had changed her mind?
âYueâer, are you missing your husband?â
Han Li wrapped his arms around Gongsun Yueâs slender waist, gently blowing into her delicate ear, a flirtatious whisper passing between them.
âI⦠I did not.â
Gongsun Yue gave him a glare; why was her junior brother always thinking about such things? Continuous fighting over the past few days had exhausted her.
âThen why did Yueâer come so quickly? Look, Tianxiang, Jiang Jiang, none of them came to greet their husband.â Han Li said with a smile on his face, gently nibbling on her earlobe.
