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

Chapter 54: Breakthrough to the Soul Refining Realm

After taking a sip of spiritual tea in the hall, Han Li returned to his seclusion room.

After waiting for so long, it was time for him to break through to the Soul Refining Realm and become a true cultivator.

Calculating it, he had accumulated enough cultivation.

He still had 60 years of cultivation left from before, and in the past year, he had also given birth to many descendants. Adding the 90 years of cultivation he obtained this time, Han Li had saved up about 170 years of cultivation.

It was very difficult for someone with a seventh-grade aptitude to break through to the Soul Refining Realm. Han Li needed to spend 300 years of cultivation, but the difficulty of breaking through with a sixth-grade aptitude was greatly reduced, only requiring about 150 years.

After sitting down, Han Li directly received 150 years of cultivation.

In an instant, this massive amount of cultivation turned into a magical power that entered his divine soul, causing his divine soul, which had already temporarily grown to its limit, to break free from its shackles and begin to ascend.

Han Li's divine soul instantly grew four to five times larger, and then continued to grow. By the time this magical power was consumed, his divine soul had grown nearly seven times larger than its peak in the Vital Spirit Realm.

With the growth of his divine soul, the power of his divine soul also surged, and his spiritual awareness also greatly increased. The maximum coverage range reached two hundred li, surpassing many early-stage Soul Refining cultivators.

After achieving the Soul Refining Realm, Han Li's five senses also greatly increased. Even without using his spiritual awareness, he could perceive all movements within a radius of three thousand meters. Even the crawling of mosquitoes could not escape his perception.

"Hu~"

Han Li exhaled a breath, a refreshing expression appearing on his face.

The feeling of the Soul Refining Realm was truly enjoyable.

Breaking through to the Soul Refining Realm mainly amplified the divine soul, but it also increased the Vital Spirit within the body, although not to the same extent as the amplification of the divine soul, it was still about three times larger.

A cultivator at the first level of the Soul Refining Realm could easily defeat dozens of peak Vital Spirit Realm cultivators. It wouldn't be a problem to defeat over a hundred. Han Li was one such cultivator.

Although he was currently only at the first level of the Soul Refining Realm, his true combat power far exceeded his cultivation. Advanced techniques, powerful martial skills, and high-level martial skills made Han Li's overall strength soar, and he might even be comparable to a mid-stage Soul Refining cultivator.

The mid-stage Soul Refining cultivators referred to here were ordinary Soul Refining cultivators who had broken through to the Profound Grade peak techniques. They only mastered several Profound Grade superior and peak martial skills, and even one or two Earth Grade inferior martial skills.

Without having fought, Han Li didn't know where his limits lay.

Tianxuan Peak, mountain peak.

Two figures stood here, one of them was the Sect Master Gong Sunyun, and the other was Han Li dressed in brocade clothes.

Gong Sunyun looked at Han Li with a complicated expression. Although Han Li tried his best to conceal his aura, he was still discovered by him.

Han Li returned to Tianxuan Mountain in less than a year, and he had already broken through from the peak of the Vital Spirit Realm to the Soul Refining Realm. Even with the assistance of his Yuanshen Pill, this speed was too fast.

Originally, Gong Sunyun estimated that Han Li would reach the Soul Refining Realm within ten years. With the Yuanshen Pill he gave, the time could be shortened even more.

What Gong Sunyun didn't know was that Han Li didn't even use that Yuanshen Pill. It was still gathering dust in his spatial ring. Speaking of which, he had also changed his spatial ring. It was the one Cui Ping wanted, and its space was dozens of times larger than Han Li's.

Suppressing his shock, Gong Sunyun asked, "Should the news be announced?"

Han Li was his closed-door disciple and the one he sought to inherit the legacy of Tianxuan Mountain. The higher his talent and cultivation, the better.

Because of this, he was very tolerant of Han Li and gave him great autonomy, as long as he didn't privately teach the divine techniques of Tianxuan Mountain.

Han Li shook his head.

It had been almost a year since he was accepted as Gong Sunyun's closed-door disciple. At first, the disciples of Tianxuan Mountain were shocked, envious, and jealous, but now they had almost forgotten. After all, Han Li was too low-key and had been staying on Tianxuan Peak without going out.

The impression of him in the outside world was still stuck at: a lucky Sea Opening Realm fifth-level cultivator who became the Sect Master's disciple and obtained fortuitous encounters, and someone who was fond of women.

The last label would probably follow Han Li for the rest of his life.

If news of his breakthrough to the Soul Refining realm were to spread, the entire Tianxuan Mountain would be in an uproar, and the entire Leizhou would pay attention.

A powerful rising True Immortal in the Soul Refining realm, his strength is already at the upper level of Leizhou, with only the four sect leaders and the Leizhou Garrison Commander being stronger.

Gongsun Yun nodded. He also felt that it would not be good to make it public, otherwise it would bring a lot of trouble to Han Li.

After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Yun asked again, "Is it too soon to leave the mountain today?"

Gongsun Yun couldn't figure out Han Li's thoughts. Isn't it good to stay in Tianxuan Mountain? The conditions are much better than Lingjun City, more than a hundred times better.

Is Han Li in a hurry to return to Lingjun City because he misses that group of concubines?

Seeing Han Li nod, Gongsun Yun couldn't help but say, "Disciple, it's better for cultivators to stay away from worldly desires."

"Your group of beautiful wives and concubines may be stunning, but how long can they accompany you? The prosperity will eventually fade away, and beautiful women cannot resist the passage of time. In the end, the beauty will wither, leaving you alone in desolation."

He had a deep understanding of this. He had also had a white moonlight before the new year, but the white moonlight had poor aptitude. Even though he tried his best to prolong her life, she eventually left him and couldn't be retained.

"Master, there's no need to advise me on this."

Han Li shook his head slightly and looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers, saying softly, "I fear the decline of beauty, and I fear the shortness of a beautiful life."

"Even if beautiful women cannot resist the passage of time, at least I have had them, haven't I?"

Concubines like Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and even Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, although they married him as concubines, they can live a good life and enjoy wealth and prosperity.

Under his cultivation, the aptitude of the concubines has greatly improved, and in the future, they can also reach higher realms. They may be able to accompany him until old age.

Gongsun Yun was taken aback and didn't persuade him anymore. He would only say such words once, but memories of the past good times inevitably surfaced in his mind.

"Disciple, this time you're leaving the mountain without a set return date. Is there anything else Master wants to say?" Han Li sighed.

If he didn't have the golden finger, he would be willing to stay in Tianxuan Mountain, but without the golden finger, how could he be noticed and taken as a disciple by the Sect Master?

He has learned almost everything he needs to learn in Tianxuan Mountain. Unless there is something extremely important, he won't easily come back.

"The Great Qian has already obtained the accurate whereabouts of the Unborn Mother. They will take action soon. If the Unborn Mother manages to escape, you must be extra careful."

Gongsun Yun said with a serious expression.

The Unborn Mother is a Grandmaster of Myriad Manifestations, and her strength is much stronger than his. Even if he goes all out, she can easily kill him with a few moves.

Han Li nodded. If the Unborn Mother escapes to Leizhou, even if she is seriously injured, he, as a True Immortal in the Soul Refining realm, cannot contend with her.

"I have a method of concealing your cultivation called the Breath Concealing Secret Technique. Remember to cultivate it well after leaving the mountain."

"Of course."

"Disciple, although you act cautiously and prudently, and know how to hide your abilities, there is still room for improvement. Today, I will give you a sixteen-word mantra. I hope you will remember it well."

Gongsun Yun turned around and looked at Han Li, saying solemnly.

"Please, Master."

"Conceal your edge, hide your wisdom, abstain from desires, be self-aware, seek truth, speak cautiously, control emotions, and do good."

Gongsun Yun said each word and each sentence.

Seeing that Han Li was a little confused, Gongsun Yun continued, "Conceal your invincibility, hide your wisdom to protect yourself, abstain from desires without being bound, be self-aware of your own limitations, seek truth while being practical, speak cautiously to avoid trouble, control emotions to minimize sorrow, and do good to maintain righteousness."

Han Li nodded heavily, feeling Gongsun Yun's sincere intentions. These sixteen words can indeed be called "mantras."
