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

Chapter 126: Yao Xi and the Empress

The migration team stayed in Dongchuan Prefecture for a month. Apart from the time spent on the road, they used the rest of the time to receive various forces that wanted to establish a good relationship.

Han Li dealt with these forces in the usual way, and these forces were already aware of the practices of the Han family's ancestors and did not mind.

After all, they only wanted to establish a good relationship. It would be best to marry the Han family's ancestor as a concubine, but if that was not possible, it would be fine to become wives and concubines of the outstanding descendants of the Han family.

In Dongchuan Prefecture, Han Li did not take in any concubines. The main reason was that there were no suitable candidates. Han Li did not even bother to look at those who did not meet his standards, leaving it for future generations to handle.

After finishing their affairs, the Han family's migration team set off again, passing through Dongchuan Pass, entering Yuanzhou, and then following the established route towards Yongchang Prefecture.

After entering Yuanzhou, the treatment they received was much worse compared to Qingzhou and Jizhou. Han Li also understood the reason behind this.

The Han family did not establish roots in Qingzhou and Jizhou, so it did not affect the interests of the various forces in those two states. However, news of the Han family's migration to Yuanzhou had long spread. This meant that they were trying to seize territory in Yuanzhou and take resources from the existing forces.

The Han family was a Soul Refining stage family and could easily rank in the top three in any prefecture. In the entire Yuanzhou, they could rank in the top hundred.

For those forces below the Vital Spirit Realm and Sea Opening Realm, the Han family would occupy many of the resources that belonged to them. It was hard to believe that these forces would be willing to accept this.

Those Soul Refining stage forces were only somewhat cautious. After analyzing the situation, they realized that the Han family's ancestor knew how to handle things and would not affect their interests.

Information about the Han family and its ancestor had long been collected by some forces in Yuanzhou. Previously, they did not pay much attention to it because the Han family's ancestor had shown weak strength. But now, they were starting to take notice.

However, it was only a small amount of attention. The Han family's ancestor had lived in a small county in Leizhou for many years, and neither he nor his family had actively competed for cultivation resources. It was only in the past twenty or thirty years that they started selling spirit pills and spiritual tools.

Soul Refining stage forces generally did not engage in wars with each other. These forces were considered upper-class within a large state. Unless they were confident in quickly annihilating the other party, if both sides suffered losses, it would only benefit other forces.

Higher-level Empty Void Realm forces were basically the top powers in a state. Soul Refining stage forces were nominally under their jurisdiction.

Empty Void Realm forces did not care, Soul Refining stage forces paid some attention, and forces below the Vital Spirit Realm and Sea Opening Realm were somewhat anxious.

After the Han family's migration team entered Yuanzhou, the small forces started to take action, constantly paying attention to the movements of the Han family, wanting to know which prefecture the Han family would establish roots in.

They knew about the news that the Han family was going to settle in Yongchang Prefecture, but they were not sure if this was a diversion. Most of the small forces could only feel at ease after seeing the Han family establish roots in a specific prefecture.

Although Soul Refining stage forces were considered upper-class within a state, they could only influence one or two prefectures. Although there were twenty or thirty prefectures in a state, these prefectures were mostly occupied by major forces. They were either Empty Void Realm forces or Soul Refining stage forces, with the occasional presence of the Ten Great Sects.

Once the Han family settled in a prefecture, they could only influence that prefecture. The control of the surrounding prefectures would be in the hands of other Soul Refining stage forces.

Two months later, the Han family's migration team entered Xuanshi Prefecture.

Inside the luxurious carriage were four people: Han Li, Lutianxiang, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yinyin.

Since the time when Lutianxiang was enlightened, Lin Yiwu had become close with her. Her younger sister, Lin Yinyin, often accompanied them as well. Lutianxiang and Lin Yinyin had also become acquainted.

Both sisters were very sensible. Lutianxiang was Han Li's wife, and they were just concubines of Han Li. It was never wrong to maintain a good relationship with Lutianxiang.

Han Li wore a green robe, Lutianxiang wore a red dress, Lin Yiwu wore white clothes, and Lin Yinyin wore a blue dress.

"Husband, have some grapes," Lin Yinyin sat on Han Li's left side, holding onto his arm with one hand and offering grapes to his mouth with the other.

Han Li opened his mouth and took a bite of the grape, savoring its taste.

Lin Yiwu sat across from Han Li. After peeling the honey tangerine, she stood up and handed it to Han Li's mouth, serving him with great tenderness and thoughtfulness.

Lutianxiang sat on the inside, watching this affectionate scene, feeling a bit uncomfortable in her heart.

This bastard Han Li deliberately called Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin to serve him, putting on a show for himself, trying to force her to submit.

Yesterday, Han Li wanted Lutianxiang to feed him the spiritually rich honey pomelo, but Lutianxiang was unwilling. Today, Han Li called the two sisters to demonstrate to Lutianxiang.

"Hmph~ This Lord would never do such a thing," Lutianxiang hummed in her heart, feeling that she needed to maintain her status.

After all, she was Han Li's only wife, even though they hadn't officially married yet. How could she serve him like these concubines?

Doesn't the Lord of the Fragrant Fragrance Sect care about her dignity?

Lutianxiang turned her face to the other side, looking out the window, intending to ignore this display of affection and not eat this dog food.

"Ah~"

She suddenly exclaimed, being embraced by Han Li, but she didn't struggle.

Han Li placed her on his lap, took the fruits handed over by Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, and personally fed her. Lutianxiang was delighted in her heart, but she stubbornly turned her face away.

Han Li smiled and blew warm air in her ear, whispering, "Xiang Xiang, if you don't listen, you'll be punished with a whipping."

Lutianxiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, her delicate face instantly turning red, like two red clouds, incredibly charming.

After dealing with Lutianxiang, Han Li gestured for Lin Yiwu to sit on his right side, creating a scene of being embraced from both sides, with a stunning beauty sitting on his lap.

Han Li was somewhat tempted, but he didn't act recklessly. The sisters could accept this arrangement, but Lutianxiang clearly couldn't accept it. She wouldn't even agree to a private arrangement between the two of them.

"Husband~" Lin Yiwu called softly.

"Yiwu, is there something you want to tell your husband?" Han Li turned his head to look at Lin Yiwu.

As the saying goes, if you want to be filial, Lin Yiwu was naturally born beautiful, and now she was wearing a white dress, truly a stunning beauty.

"Recently, Xixi has been acting strange. Husband, do you want to go and take a look?" Lin Yiwu looked worried.

Lin Yiyin continued, "Husband, I've also noticed recently that Xixi sometimes talks to herself in the carriage, and her tone is different from usual, as if she's become a different person."

"I asked her about it, but she said there was nothing wrong and no memories." Han Li frowned slightly, the image of the delicate and lovely Yao Xi's appearance and laughter appearing in his mind. Could the seal in her soul have loosened?

Before moving, Yao Xi had told him about her headaches and how she often saw some inexplicable words in her mind. After understanding, Han Li concluded that it was the first part of a powerful technique.

Yao Xi had also mentioned some place names, but there were no such places in the Primordial Spirit Province.

But later, they moved, and many things happened during the migration. He was busy conquering Lutianxiang, dealing with Jiang Baiye's matters, and then focusing on his own cultivation. It had indeed been a long time since he had gone to see that little girl.

Yao Xi was only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and Han Li didn't dare to pluck this delicate flower. It would be better to raise her first and wait for her to grow up.

"What does Xiang Xiang think?" Han Li looked at Lutianxiang in his arms.

Lutianxiang shook her head and said, "I don't know what this symptom is either."

In fact, she had a guess in her heart that this symptom seemed to be consistent with the mystery of breaking through the womb after the reincarnation of some powerful beings.

Powerful beings who have cultivated to the Universal Truth Realm have the opportunity to be reborn. If guided by a stronger being, they can quickly solve the mystery of the womb, remember everything from their past life, and have the experience of cultivation from their previous life, greatly accelerating their cultivation speed.

If there is no strong being to guide them, they have to break the mystery of the womb on their own, which is very difficult. Many powerful beings in history have disappeared after reincarnation, and their lives have been forgotten by the world.

However, Lutianxiang didn't think that there would be a reincarnated powerful being around Han Li. Han Li's luck would be too good if he could easily pick up a reincarnated powerful being.

Yao Xi was exquisitely beautiful, a standard beauty. Even at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was already very beautiful. When she grew up, she would become a stunning beauty, perhaps not as good as herself, but not much worse.

Lutianxiang was well aware of Han Li's Lolita cultivation plan. With his lascivious nature, when Yao Xi grew up, he would definitely take her as his concubine.

Han Li nodded. He was just asking casually, and Lutianxiang didn't say much since she didn't know either.

"You two can chat first. I'll go see Yao Xi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li's figure disappeared and appeared in another carriage.

The interior of this carriage was decorated in a pink and tender style, full of girlishness. Yao Xi was sitting by the window, supporting her chin with her hands as she looked out the window.

Han Li appeared by her side, and Yao Xi didn't notice at all.

"Xi Xi, what are you looking at?" Han Li reached out and rubbed her little head.

"Ah? Brother, you're here."

Upon hearing this voice, Yao Xi immediately turned her head, a joyful smile appearing on her small face.

"Brother, it's been a long time since you last visited Xi Xi. Xi Xi really misses you."

Yao Xi reached out and grabbed Han Li's big hand, as if it could give her a sense of security.

"Then, will brother come to see you often in the future?"

"Mhmm." Yao Xi nodded vigorously, her small hand still tightly holding Han Li's big hand.

Han Li frowned slightly. Yao Xi's reaction was a bit strange. After thinking for a moment, he directly asked, "Xi Xi, have you recently had some strange memories in your mind?"

He suspected that the seal in Yao Xi's soul had loosened, causing some memories to leak out. These should be memories from her past life.

But Yao Xi had not yet broken the mystery of the womb, and seeing these memories would probably have some negative effects, such as accelerating the process of breaking the mystery of the womb and fully restoring her memories from her past life.

Generally speaking, when one's past life memories are restored, their temperament will undergo a major change. After all, this life is short, but the past life may have lasted for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Being able to be reborn is at least a powerful being in the Universal Truth Realm, with a lifespan of ten thousand years. However, the Universal Truth Realm is just the standard for reincarnation, and the success rate is not high. The saints of the Holy Abyss Realm are the mainstream.

The saints have a long lifespan, with a lifespan of up to one hundred thousand years, and it can be said that they have achieved immortality.

After Han Li broke through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, his lifespan increased significantly. Coupled with the lifespan rewarded by his descendants, he had only lived for a little over 1,600 years, which was similar to the time many True Martial Realm experts had lived.

The lifespan of the Myriad Manifestations Realm is only one percent of that of the Holy Abyss Realm, but its strength is not even one millionth of that of a saint.

If Yao Xi showed signs of breaking the mystery of the womb, then he would have to intervene. Han Li didn't want her to awaken her memories from her past life too early.

Yao Xi, who awakened memories of his past life, was not easy to control. That was a being whose power once far surpassed his own. Who knows what means were used?

He preferred to control the present Yao Xi. When Yao Xi grew up, when she became dependent on him, when she fell in love with him, he would take her in. Then, it wouldn't be too late to help her awaken her memories of her past life.

As Yao Xi grew older and experienced more, even if her memories of her past life awakened, there would still be room for struggle. They wouldn't directly become the dominant memories of her past life.

"Mmm~" Yao Xi responded softly, a trace of worry appearing on her little face.

Han Li placed his large hand on Yao Xi's head and gently said, "Don't be afraid, you have your big brother here."

"I'll check on you later, don't be scared."

"With big brother here, Hixi isn't afraid." Yao Xi raised her head, looked at Han Li's face, and said loudly.

Han Li nodded and activated a strand of divine sense to enter Yao Xi's mind, peering into the secrets of her soul.

In the past, when his power was insufficient, he didn't dare to do this. Now that his divine soul was comparable to the True Martial realm, he was capable of doing some things.

After a brief examination, Han Li frowned. The seal at the deepest part of Yao Xi's soul had indeed loosened.

This loosening of the seal brought forth some memories of her past life, confusing Yao Xi's memories. No wonder Yao Xi would occasionally have drastic changes in temperament and talk to herself.

At the same time, the loosening of the seal also made Yao Xi's soul more complete. Her spiritual power greatly increased, and her hidden talent partially revealed itself. She had actually reached the fifth rank, which surprised Han Li.

This further strengthened Han Li's determination. Then, that strand of divine sense transformed into Han Li's appearance, and he formed several hand seals, covering the area where the seal had loosened, creating a new barrier to separate it.

"No matter what abilities you had in your past life, in this life, you are destined to be controlled by me."

Han Li snorted coldly in his heart. Yao Xi was the golden seedling he had raised by his side, waiting to be harvested in the future.

When he discovered the seal on Yao Xi's soul in the past, he had this idea. A reincarnated and reborn powerhouse is best controlled when they are weak.

Once the seal on Yao Xi is completely lifted, her aptitude will return to that of her past life, at least a first-class aptitude. This is the wife and concubine that Han Li dreams of.

The birth of Han Yongzhen, with a third-class aptitude, had already rewarded Han Li greatly. If there were to be a descendant with a first-class aptitude, the reward would probably be ten or even a hundred times greater.

A first-class aptitude is something that is hard to come by in the Xuan Domain and even the Primordial Spirit State. Since it appeared by his side, he would never let it go.

While Han Li was reinforcing the seal on Yao Xi, in the vast and endless Yuan Kun Domain, within a magnificent and prosperous imperial court.

A figure wearing golden divine armor, emitting layers of golden ripples, suddenly looked up, a trace of anger flashing in her eyes.

"Who is it? Who dares to seal a fragment of this emperor's soul!"

A grand voice resounded in the majestic palace, and the terrifying aura shook the heavens and the earth, alarming countless ancient beings.

The Empress in the golden armor walked majestically towards the outside of the palace, her graceful curves undulating.

Some time ago, she felt that the seal on her fragment of soul was loosening and would be able to locate it in a while. But at this moment, that inexplicable sense of connection disappeared completely.

Clearly, someone with ulterior motives had tampered with her fragment of soul.
