Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 122: Emperor's Secret

"Now can you return the Body Nurturing Furnace to me?" Jiang Baiye bit her lip and said with a hint of grievance.

"Not yet." Han Li decisively vetoed.

"You..." Jiang Baiye stared at him, feeling a bit impatient. Is this bastard Han Li going back on his word?

Han Li remained indifferent and said directly, "Before that, there are some matters that need to be dealt with, and I still need the Body Nurturing Furnace for some time."

It wasn't that all the troubles would be resolved once Jiang Baiye agreed. He still needed her to tie up loose ends.

"What matters? How long do you still need?" Jiang Baiye had no choice. Her current situation left her with no room for choice. She just hoped that Han Li wouldn't go back on his word.

"You should take him back to the sect first, without revealing anything related to me. After comforting your Master, find an excuse to go out and cultivate, then come back to meet me," Han Li said.

"Although I'm not afraid, I don't want more trouble. You better handle it properly and don't let him come looking for me again, or I'll slap him to death," Jiang Baiye warned.

"I still need the Body Nurturing Furnace for some more time, at most ten years. By then, you will also have a share, and you can return it to the Canghai Sect after using it," Han Li said.

"The Canghai Sect is one of the Ten Great Sects of the Great Qian Dynasty. It shouldn't be unable to hold on for ten years, right?" Jiang Baiye asked.

Han Li explained the plan he had already considered in detail.

By doing so, the troubles of the Canghai Sect would be completely resolved, and he would also gain a talented woman.

Just as he couldn't unseal Lutianxiang's cultivation now, he couldn't return the Body Nurturing Furnace to Jiang Baiye either. He, his wives, and some descendants would need it after moving, and Han Li was also worried that Jiang Baiye would take the furnace and regret it, leaving him with no chance to repent.

Jiang Baiye fell silent for a while, but in the end, she agreed. She had no choice.

Seeing this, Han Li's face showed a satisfied expression, and he continued, "I'll give you one year. Within one year, you must come and meet me."

"You need to swear on your Dao Heart that you won't reveal anything related to me. Once you violate it, you won't be able to advance to the Empty Void Realm in this lifetime, and your Master and your sect will be destroyed because of it."

"Okay," Jiang Baiye agreed directly. She had sworn oaths before, and she wouldn't reveal anything this time either.

Unlike in the past, she didn't want to violate the oath and affect her own path. Now, she didn't dare to have any other thoughts. Han Li's strength was too strong, and it made her not dare to have any rebellious thoughts. Otherwise, the Canghai Sect would really suffer a devastating blow.

"I also need to plant a spiritual seed in your mind. If you have any intention of leaking information or don't come to meet me within a year, it will kill you immediately. Then, I will also contribute to the destruction of the Canghai Sect," Han Li continued. He didn't bother to beat around the bush. It was good to be direct when one had the strength.

"No!" Jiang Baiye's face changed, and she refused.

If someone planted a spiritual seed in her mind, and there was a big gap in strength, that person could monitor her every thought. As long as they wished, they could quickly control her soul and instantly unleash power to annihilate her soul.

Han Li was a Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmaster, while she was only at the Soul Refining stage. There was a huge difference in soul power between them. Even if it was just one spiritual seed, she wouldn't be able to resist it.

She didn't want to leak information or violate her oath. She just didn't want Han Li to pry into her thoughts, especially those related to him. That would make Han Li think that she had feelings for this bastard.

Looking down at the exquisite fairy in his arms, Han Li said coldly, "You have no choice."

This was a necessary step and also the most important one.

When he was at the Soul Refining stage, he didn't have this method. Now that his soul was comparable to the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he naturally mastered this method.

In the past, he could only rely on the oath of the Dao Heart, but now he preferred to trust himself. After all, as long as he was willing to pay a huge price, the oath of the Dao Heart could also be violated.

Once he planted a spiritual seed, with his strength, even the Sect Master of the Canghai Sect wouldn't be able to detect it, let alone resolve it.

If Jiang Baiye had any rebellious thoughts, he would have to take action. Faced with the risk of exposure, he could even abandon the talented woman.

Jiang Baiye's expression changed constantly, but in the end, she sighed and agreed.

Anyway, she didn't have such thoughts. Since she had made an agreement with Han Li, she wouldn't violate it. This was her principle and belief as a person.

She just didn't want Han Li to pry into her privacy. At most, she would recall the experience from last time in the coming year.

"Very well," Han Li's face showed a pleased expression.

He leaned over and touched Jiang Baiye's red lips. Jiang Baiye struggled in vain and could only let him do as he pleased.

After a long time, Han Li finally separated, still feeling unsatisfied.

"We haven't gotten married yet, is what you're doing too much?" Jiang Baiye gritted her teeth, furious that this jerk was constantly trying to take advantage of her.

"Now that you're my fiancée, it's not excessive to give me a kiss." Han Li smirked.

"Shameless!"

Jiang Baiye felt that Han Li's audacity was thicker than the walls of the Great Qian Emperor's city.

"Can we leave now?" Jiang Baiye hesitated, ultimately not saying those words, but instead asked.

"Yes."

Han Li released the seal within Jiang Baiye's body.

"Don't forget the promises you made to me."

With those words, Jiang Baiye disappeared with her master, Jian Ziyun. She couldn't bear to stay any longer.

She took the risk to find Han Li, and the worst possible outcome happened. Han Li shamelessly made advances on her and even implicated her.

Since it was already done, she had no intention of going back on it. Jiang Baiye wanted to see if Han Li's promises could be fulfilled, if he could truly help her advance to the Myriad Manifestations Realm and the True Martial Realm.

Watching Jiang Baiye's departing figure, Han Li's divine sense followed her until she was near the vicinity of the Canghai Sect before retracting.

Jiang Baiye was now his person. Han Li didn't want any accidents to happen on her way back.

Seeing Jiang Baiye return safely, Han Li's figure also disappeared from the original spot and reappeared in the carriage in the next instant.

Seeing Han Li's figure, Lutian Xiang's eyes brightened, but then her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she caught a whiff of Han Li's scent.

Han Li didn't have any scent on him, which meant that he had met with another woman during that short time.

Lutian Xiang felt that she shouldn't be angry. She didn't like Han Li anyway. Now that she was in the carriage, it was only because Han Li had forced her. However, she couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

After all, Han Li had just left her and went to meet another woman. Did that mean she wasn't attractive anymore?

"What's wrong? Is Xiang Xiang jealous?" Han Li's senses were so sharp that he instantly noticed Lutian Xiang's unusual behavior. He reached out and held her soft waist, laughing softly in her ear.

"Let go of me. Who would be jealous of you? Dream on." Lutian Xiang extended her jade hand and lightly slapped Han Li's hand, but he didn't feel any force. His smile on his face became even brighter.

Han Li lifted Lutian Xiang up and placed her on his thigh, then leaned down to kiss her.

Lutian Xiang's jade hand blocked her red lips, preventing Han Li from getting any closer. She turned her head and sneered, "If you want to kiss, go kiss that little vixen you just met, or go find your concubines."

Han Li's heart leaped with joy. Lutian Xiang's current appearance might not even be realized by herself, but Han Li clearly understood that their relationship had become closer.

"Why are you smiling? Aren't you capable? Why didn't you bring back that little vixen you met just now to be your concubine? Could it be that you couldn't defeat her?" Lutian Xiang hummed, her willow eyebrows furrowing slightly, clearly showing her displeasure.

"Xiang Xiang, you misunderstood. I did indeed handle some matters just now. An Empty Void Grandmaster and a Soul Refining True Immortal intruded." Han Li patiently explained, but his big hand was not honest.

"Don't move~"

Lutian Xiang struggled a bit and asked coldly, "Then how do you explain the scent on you?"

Without hesitation, Han Li directly responded, "That Soul Refining True Immortal was a female cultivator. She tried to ambush me, but I caught her and sealed her cultivation as a lesson."

"What about her?" Lutian Xiang suddenly asked.

"What about her?" Han Li asked.

"What about that Soul Refining True Immortal? With your lecherous nature, you should have brought her back as a concubine. Did she not meet your standards? That doesn't fit my understanding of you." Lutian Xiang was puzzled. Han Li couldn't have let her go, right? It didn't align with her perception of Han Li.

"She's very beautiful, just a bit inferior to Xiang Xiang."

Although he felt that the two women were similar, in front of Lutian Xiang, Han Li didn't mind saying that she was more beautiful.

Sure enough, upon hearing Han Li's words, the corners of Lutian Xiang's mouth slightly curled up, and her eyes and eyebrows became even more attractive.

"It's a bit troublesome to bring her back now, so I let her go. But within a year, she should come looking for me, and then you two will be sisters." Han Li continued to speak.

Lutianxiang immediately became unhappy, "So it's not troublesome to bring me back?"

"No, Xiangxiang, listen to my explanation." Han Li put in some effort and finally managed to appease Lutianxiang.

He could feel that Lutianxiang's attitude towards him was getting better every day. It seemed that his subtle strategy was indeed effective.

After being affectionate with Lutianxiang and feeling the child inside her belly against her abdomen, Han Li smiled and said, "Our child will definitely be an extraordinary genius in the future."

"That's because the child inherits my talent. If it inherits yours, it will be nothing special." Lutianxiang's tsundere nature kicked in, and she couldn't help but tease him.

"Yes, yes, Xiangxiang, the extraordinary and talented leader. The best in the world." Han Li immediately echoed.

After a while, Han Li suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xiangxiang, no one should know about your pursuit of me, right?"

Things had been going too smoothly recently, mainly because Lutianxiang was too enticing. He had been focused on how to win her heart as soon as possible and had neglected some things.

"Hehe, you're only thinking about dealing with these matters now." Lutianxiang gave him a disdainful look and chuckled.

Holding Lutianxiang's soft body and kissing her forehead, Han Li bit her earlobe and said, "Xiangxiang, just tell me."

After hesitating for a moment, Lutianxiang still spoke up. She didn't want to cause any trouble for Han Li now.

"After escaping to Leizhou, I hid in Qingyun Prefecture and recruited some disciples from the Cyan Sect. It was with the power of the Cyan Sect that I found out about you."

"No one else knows that I came to capture you, only the True Martial Master of the Cyan Sect knows. But he doesn't know about the Transcendence Pill or that I fell into your hands."

"After all, I was intercepted by you on the way and then pursued by the Great Qian Dynasty. In the end, you saved me using that identity."

"Not only the True Martial Master, but the outside world is also guessing who that mysterious Grandmaster is. Unfortunately, no one can guess it's you. I have to say, you're hiding very well."

Lutianxiang slowly recounted, ending with a somewhat inexplicable sigh.

Han Li nodded, relieved. He had recently been keeping up with the news from the outside world, and various forces had reacted, but no one knew it was him.

He had also checked the intelligence at the Heavenly Mechanism Tower to see if they knew that the disguise was him, but the Heavenly Mechanism Tower was unaware.

However, Han Li knew that someone would eventually guess that the disguise was him. For example, Jiang Baiye had already guessed, and if Jiang Baiye knew, Yun Miaoyi should know as well.

Now that he had dealt with Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi was far away in the Yin Yang Sect, and he couldn't deal with her for the time being.

Based on Han Li's understanding of Yun Miaoyi, that witch rarely revealed herself as it didn't benefit her. However, Han Li still decided to find an opportunity to patch things up.

"I'll accompany you to the Cyan Sect later and handle it." Han Li still planned to deal with the Cyan Sect, at least to let Lutianxiang show herself and let the Cyan Sect continue to operate without investigating Lutianxiang's whereabouts.

Moreover, Lutianxiang's strength had been severely damaged, and her faith aura needed to be recondensed. It required the Cyan Sect to spread it. Even if her cultivation was sealed, it wouldn't affect the accumulation of faith.

Lutianxiang didn't refuse.

"What is the force behind you? Will anyone try to save you?" Han Li continued to ask.

He had long been curious about that mysterious force and wanted to know what Lutianxiang's situation was inside.

Although Lutianxiang had been abandoned, she was saved by him again. It was possible that her relatives, friends, and even her master would come to investigate and try to rescue Lutianxiang from his hands.

Lutianxiang fell silent, and Han Li could tell that she was struggling and hesitating. He didn't press further.

After a while, Lutianxiang sighed and said, "For certain reasons, the name of the sect cannot be revealed, but I can answer your other questions."

Han Li nodded. This mysterious force seemed to have some means to prevent its members from exposing the force. It indicated that the force was hidden in the dark and didn't want to be known by the outside world.

Seeing that Han Li wasn't pressuring her, Lutianxiang relaxed and felt a strange feeling in her heart. She shook off that feeling and continued speaking.

"I have an uncle in the sect, and our relationship is good. He didn't come to support me this time, probably because he was being suppressed by others and couldn't come."

"He should have other important matters in the Great Qian Dynasty. I'm not sure if he will come to investigate, but even if he does, it won't be of any use. No one knows that I'm in your hands."

Han Li's pupils contracted.

Lutianxiang was a Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmaster, and her uncle had the ability to support her. He should be a late-stage or even peak Myriad Manifestations Realm expert. The "others" who could suppress her uncle and prevent him from coming to support her were likely peak True Martial Realm Martial Kings.

A mysterious force, True Martial境武王, secretly arrived in the Daqian境, and its purpose was clear. It seems that the Daqian Dynasty is not far from chaos.

Han Li didn't know how long this calm could last, but he hoped it would last as long as possible. Fortunately, he was close to breaking through the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

When the child in Lutianxiang's belly and other descendants were born, he would definitely be able to break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm. This would happen in at most half a year.

"By the way, how did Xiang Xiang know that I had the Transcendence Pill?" Although Han Li had long suspected it, he still wanted to hear what Lutianxiang had to say.

"A Great Emperor told me," Lutianxiang said lightly.

"Great Emperor?!" Han Li was shocked. What realm was a Great Emperor? He knew that above the True Martial境 were the Divine Origin Realm, Universal Truth Realm, and Holy Abyss Realm. None of these realms were called Great Emperor. Could it be that a Great Emperor was a realm above the Holy Abyss Realm?

Seeing Han Li's shocked expression, Lutianxiang felt a little pleased. Han Li always had a look of intelligence and control, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Above the Holy Abyss Realm is the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, where one masters the Heavenly Sovereign Dao and can be called a Great Emperor," Lutianxiang said, raising her head proudly, revealing her snow-white swan-like neck.

"Hiss~"

Seeing Lutianxiang's proud and cute appearance, Han Li deliberately took a deep breath, playing along with her.

"With your strength, it's impossible for you to come into contact with a Great Emperor. Moreover, even the powerful experts of the Universal Truth Realm are almost extinct in the Xuan Domain and even the Qian Primordial Spirit州. How could there be a Great Emperor?" Han Li was very puzzled.

Lutianxiang's eyes flickered and she answered, "This is a Great Emperor who was sealed in ancient times, an invincible powerhouse who survived the ancient catastrophe."

"He was sealed in our Xuan Domain, and coincidentally, the seal of this Great Emperor is in the Leizhou of the Daqian Dynasty."

"This Great Emperor informed me of some information, which I traced to Qiuxuan's body, and then deduced that the formula for the Transcendence Pill was on you."

"Han Li, do you want to know the specific location of this Great Emperor's seal?"

Han Li suddenly realized, then hesitated and refused without hesitation, "I don't want to know."

Lutianxiang frowned, puzzled, "Don't you want to meet the Great Emperor who is said to master the Heavenly Sovereign Dao? This Great Emperor possesses countless high-level techniques, martial skills, and alchemical formulas. If you go, the Great Emperor might even bestow you with a scroll of the Emperor's Scripture."

"No, I don't want to. I don't need it. I think things are fine as they are now." Han Li tightened his grip on Lutianxiang's hand, drawing her closer to him.

"Why?" Lutianxiang asked.

"I don't like fighting and killing. I prefer a peaceful life without enemies," Han Li said calmly.

If the formula for the Transcendence Pill is already so troublesome, then obtaining the Emperor's Scripture would bring even greater trouble. Han Li said indifferently.

So what if it's a Great Emperor of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm?

Given time, it is inevitable for him to become a Great Emperor and even an Immortal.

His current cultivation is not enough, and he doesn't want to get involved with these powerful experts who surpass him by too much. It would make Han Li feel that his life is not guaranteed.

When the time comes, when he reaches the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he will be a Great Emperor himself or even an Immortal. Then it would be a good time to visit this sealed Great Emperor.

Although this sealed Great Emperor may not bring him any opportunities, the things that the Great Emperor possesses can greatly increase the foundation of the Han Family.

Han Li doesn't need it, but his descendants do.

The sealed location of that Great Emperor, when Han Li's cultivation reaches the corresponding realm, he will definitely go there.

Lutianxiang nodded slightly, not asking any further questions. Her evaluation of Han Li in her heart increased a lot.

A living Great Emperor, even if sealed, represents countless great opportunities, enough to drive people crazy.

Even Lutianxiang herself was no exception, otherwise she wouldn't have ended up in Han Li's hands.

She deliberately mentioned all this to test Han Li, to see if he could withstand the temptation of such a heaven-defying opportunity.

Han Li passed the test, and her approval of Han Li increased. She felt that someone like Han Li would be able to live longer.

Someone who is good at hiding their sharpness and desires, and can achieve great accomplishments in the future.

In that case, marrying such a person as a wife wouldn't be a loss of her own identity, nor would she be involved in some inexplicable vortex and die.
