Though the Azure Dragon possessed the combat ability of a seventh-layer Divine Yuan Realm warrior, its spiritual nature was not sufficient, and its battle techniques and experience were far inferior to those of a normal warrior at the same level. Yin Ling believed that Han Li still had a chance to pass the test.

After all, this person was likely hiding some trump cards.

“I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Yin Ling murmured softly, expectancy gleaming in her eyes.

She looked forward to the day the man would cultivate to the level of a Divine Yuan Realm warrior and re-enter the secret territory, although she had no idea how many years that might take.

A hundred years? Three hundred years? Five hundred years?

Meanwhile, on Chengsheng Mountain,

Han Li appeared, casting a wary glance at the secret territory’s node.

The Azure Dragon that showed up afterwards was too powerful, definitely possessing the combat ability of the later stages of the Divine Yuan Realm. Even with Chongming Palace and the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, he was no match for it; the gap was enormous.

Therefore, Han Li decisively fled, planning to return to the secret territory after cultivating to the Divine Yuan Realm when he believed he could subdue the Life-Prolonging Furnace.

He could feel that the Life-Prolonging Furnace bore him no malice. Otherwise, if this supreme-grade divine weapon unleashed its full power, even a great being at the Hollow Void Stage would be suppressed, let alone him; his defense was far weaker than his attack.

After a moment of thought, Han Li contracted the formation here, concealing the special node to prevent certain accidents.

After completing these tasks, Han Li returned to Chengdao Peak and greeted his beloved wives and concubines such as Lu Tianxiang, Bai Keqing, Lin Yiwu, and Qiu Yueyao.

At the summit of Chengdao Peak, Han Li fidgeted with the replica Body-Cultivating Furnace and Soul-Cultivating Furnace, making a decision.

When the agreed time came, he would return the replica Body-Cultivating Furnace to Canghai Sect, fulfilling Jiang Baiye’s wish.

The replica Body-Cultivating Furnace had many effects, but it was no longer useful to him. After using it for a few more years, the talent of his concubines would be raised to the sixth grade, and then using the Rebirth Pill, they would reach the fifth grade.

With the effects of dual cultivation, his wives and concubines were making rapid progress in their cultivation. In a few decades they would reach the Hollow Void Stage, and by then, Han Li would be even stronger, breaking through to the Divine Yuan Realm and obtaining the Life-Prolonging Furnace.

The effects that the replica Body-Cultivating Furnace had, the Life-Prolonging Furnace surely possessed too, and many times stronger at that. Moreover, the Life-Prolonging Furnace also had effects the replica did not have.

For Han Li, having one Life-Prolonging Furnace was enough; the replica Body-Cultivating Furnace was useless to hold on to.

In the meantime, he still had the Soul-Cultivating Furnace to use.

Similar to the Body-Cultivating Furnace, the Soul-Cultivating Furnace also had four effects, but it focused on the divine spirit and was many times more powerful.

First, the Soul-Cultivating Furnace could absorb higher level spiritual energy from the unseen world to accelerate cultivation, increasing cultivation speed within its covered range by dozens of times.

Second, it strengthened the divine spirit. The Soul-Cultivating Furnace harnessed half of the higher level spiritual energy to condense into higher level spiritual liquid. Absorbing this kind of liquid could enhance the divine spirit, making it grow rapidly.

This effect was useful to cultivators in the Gangyuan Realm, God Refining Realm, Hollow Void Stage, Myriad Phenomena Realm, and the True Martial Realm, nurturing their divine spirits.

Third, it healed injuries. The Soul-Cultivating Furnace could help cultivators quickly recover from divine spirit injuries and stabilize the divine spirit, blocking many divine spirit attacks.

Fourth, it enhanced comprehension. Long-term residence within the range of the Soul-Cultivating Furnace and undergoing its baptism could enhance one’s own comprehension.

Han Li compared the Soul-Cultivating Furnace with the replica Body-Cultivating Furnace and roughly speculated on the effects of the ancient supreme treasure Life-Prolonging Furnace.

Han Li’s heart burned with eagerness. With the Life-Prolonging Furnace, the Han Mansion could develop and grow even better. It was a treasure for assisting the development of a family or sect, helping an influence amass a strong foundation in a short period of time.

“No wonder the Soul-Cultivating Furnace is called an ancient supreme treasure even though it’s just a supreme-grade divine weapon,” Han Li murmured softly to himself.

He had been somewhat puzzled before. Although a supreme-grade divine weapon was strong, enough to be a Great Saint’s weapon of choice, it didn’t fit his idea of a true treasure.

In his mind, a treasure should at least be a Divine Weapon of the imperial rank, belonging to the strongest category of weaponry just beneath Immortal Artifacts.

Now he understood that the Life-Prolonging Furnace did have the qualifications to be called a treasure. Although its offensive and defensive powers were far less than those of Divine Weapons, the auxiliary effects it possessed were superior to them.

After inspecting the Soul-Cultivating Furnace and the replica Body-Cultivating Furnace, Han Li decided to put them to use that evening, letting his wives and concubines experience the benefits of enhanced comprehension.

Latter, Han Li’s figure disappeared from Chengdao Peak and arrived at the main hall on Yundao Peak, where he summoned various leading descendants of the Han Mansion and announced his decision.

The benefits for the Han Mansion were significantly improved. The welfare for those on the priority training list increased fivefold, for those of adequate talent, it doubled, and even those without talent saw their benefits increase by one fold.

Han Li reiterated the importance of encouraging childbirth, once more raising the rewards for procreation. Those who spread the Han lineage could now receive three times the previous awards.

This shocked people like Han Yongfan, Han Yongjin, and Han Shigao, who were perplexed as to why the patriarch suddenly made such a decision, but they were very excited and hurried off to carry it out.

It was a great boon for them; even if they were not on the priority list, they could still obtain three times the previous resources, which would greatly aid their path of cultivation.

As time flies, seasons change, and in the blink of an eye, six years had passed.

In these six years, the event that caught the attention of all the Sacred Lands in the Xuan Domain began to show signs of emergence, stirring up waves of disturbance. Cultivators in the Hollow Void Stage and above across the Qianyuan Divine Province became aware of it, and some well-informed cultivators at the Gangyuan Realm and God Refining Realm also heard the news and were quite worried.

In the Xuan Domain, within the Da Jing Dynasty,

A plain-looking young Daoist stood proudly against the sky, a sheath void of a sword on his back, with sleeves gathered in his hands, he faced a stunningly cold and beautiful woman before him.
