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

Chapter 57: The Ten Principles of Survival

"Do not confront head-on, just survive. There is plenty of time in life to find a place to nest."

"If you don't want trouble, stay at home. As long as you don't go out, you will be the undefeated war god."

"What's the use of killing? You will only be hunted down. Kill the young, and the old will come for revenge. Kill the old, and the older ones will come. Even if you kill them all, there will still be uncles, aunts, and distant relatives. You will have to kill your master, senior brothers, benefactors, disciples, and even righteous partners."

"It's useless to be ruthless. It's better to stay at home and not go out. If you're not even at the True Martial Realm, how dare you go out and wander?"

"Survive until the end, outlast all enemies and geniuses, and then you will achieve great success. Being alive is victory."

"Don't think that just because you've transmigrated, you have a golden finger and are the protagonist. What if you encounter other transmigrators, reborn individuals, or reincarnated powerhouses? You will still be manipulated and killed."

"If you have a grudge, don't seek revenge. Just outlast the other party, then go desecrate their ancestors' graves and dance on their tombstones. Isn't that delightful?"

"."

After calming down, Han Li's mind became extremely clear. The principles of survival emerged in his heart, playing in a loop ten thousand times, constantly reminding himself to survive and never be reckless.

Han Li decided that after his morning exercises every day, he would recite the Ten Principles of Survival one hundred times to keep himself alert.

As long as he could survive, his cultivation would continue to rise, and he would eventually outlast his opponents.

Han Li even felt that it was not safe to reveal his True Martial Realm cultivation. He still needed to hide his cultivation and continue to survive. After all, the True Martial Realm was not invincible.

There were definitely old immortals in the Great Qian Dynasty who were hiding their True Martial Realm cultivation. The Martial Kings at the True Martial Realm could live for two thousand years. If the Great Qian Dynasty didn't have the True Martial Realm experts, it would have been destroyed long ago.

He didn't understand this before, but now he understood.

Even the True Martial Realm was not safe. Didn't the Great Qian Dynasty suffer various threats from other top powers?

Even in the Profound Domain, there were several top powers whose strength surpassed that of the Great Qian Dynasty. The strongest Da Gu Dynasty might even have ancient relics at the Divine Origin Realm.

The Divine Origin Realm experts were revered as Martial Emperors and had a lifespan of five thousand years, longer than the history of the Great Qian Dynasty.

This time, when Han Li returned to the Tianxuan Mountain, he also researched some ancient books and learned many secrets of the cultivation world. The more he knew, the more he wanted to survive.

He also learned that outside the Profound Domain, there were seven domains and two seas, all located in a place called the Qian Primordial Spirit State.

Han Li also found information about realms above the Divine Origin Realm. They were called the Universal Truth Realm, where true powerhouses resided. They could be reborn and had a lifespan of ten thousand years.

As for whether there were still powerful beings in the Qian Primordial Spirit State at the Universal Truth Realm, Han Li was not sure. It was an absolute secret, and his strength had not reached that level yet.

"The True Martial Realm is not safe enough. I should follow the path of the Divine Origin Realm and, ideally, reach the Universal Truth Realm before revealing myself."

Han Li muttered to himself.

Although he was determined to survive and not be reckless, there was still a major problem he had to solve before that.

Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi were like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head. They would attack the Han family in half a year, but in half a year, his strength would not surpass the two women.

If he moved the Han family, it would cause a big commotion and definitely attract the attention of Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi, who might take action earlier.

Only by dealing with these two women could the Han family continue to develop, and he could peacefully survive.

After thinking for a while, there were only five options in front of him.

The first option was to move the Han family. As long as he didn't alarm the two women, he could continue to survive. However, the risk was too great. He couldn't escape the eyes of the Heavenly Secret Tower, and Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi would soon come knocking.

The second option was to get rid of the Life Nurturing Stove and spread the news, attracting others to fight over it and thus getting rid of the trouble.

First, let's not talk about the importance of the Body Nurturing Furnace. If the two women fight over it and neither of them gets it, will they take it out on him?

Jiang Baiye might not, but what about the Canghai Sect? Yun Miaoyi, this witch, sneaked into the Yin Yang Path and returned empty-handed. She will definitely not let him off.

The third option is to present the Body Nurturing Furnace to the two women face-to-face, let them fight over it, and demonstrate his own strength to make them wary. He will make them swear that no matter what happens, they cannot implicate him or the Han family.

This will expose his strength and make others more wary.

In the first scenario, if the two women agree to fight over the Body Nurturing Furnace, he will be rid of this trouble. In the second scenario, Jiang Baiye might agree, but Yun Miaoyi, this witch, is unlikely to agree.

In that case, he will expose both the precious Body Nurturing Furnace and his own strength, and it will be a risky move.

The fourth option is to offer the Body Nurturing Furnace to the Great Qian Dynasty and seek their protection.

This way, he can also get rid of the trouble caused by the two women, but it may bring even greater trouble.

The Canghai Sect may not take action against the Han family out of consideration, but the Yin Yang Path is uncertain. Moreover, offering the Body Nurturing Furnace is equivalent to tying himself to the Great Qian Dynasty. In this turbulent situation with hidden currents, the risk is too great.

Once a war breaks out, the Han family may be wiped out easily.

Even with the protection of the Great Qian Dynasty, if they are unwilling or unable to help, the Han family and Han Li will perish even faster.

The fifth option is to capture Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi as concubines or directly kill them, which can temporarily solve the trouble.

This result is the same as the situation where Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi take it out on him or refuse in the second and third options.

Regardless of whether Han Li has the strength or not, once Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi disappear or die, it will bring enormous trouble.

Yun Miaoyi came to the Great Qian Dynasty to find the Body Nurturing Furnace. How could the Yin Yang Path not know? If an important core disciple dies, they will definitely investigate.

The same goes for Jiang Baiye. The Canghai Sect behind her probably knows about Fengyang Mansion, Lingjun City, and even Han Li's name.

The Sect Master of the Canghai Sect, out of consideration, may not take action against the Han family, but the Yin Yang Path is uncertain. Moreover, offering the Body Nurturing Furnace is equivalent to tying himself to the Great Qian Dynasty. In this turbulent situation with hidden currents, the risk is too great.

Han Li frowned. None of the five options were good. Each had its own risks, and it could even lead to greater risks.

This was the biggest crisis he had encountered so far. It was because he couldn't resist the temptation of the precious Body Nurturing Furnace that he brought about this crisis.

Han Li once again reminded himself to remember the sixteen-character mantra and the ten guidelines of the Gu Dao. Only then could he live a long and prosperous life, enduring through the ages.

After much consideration, Han Li still couldn't make up his mind about which path to take. He decided to wait a little longer. He still had at least half a year, and there might be a turning point.

He already had a rough plan in his mind, but he wasn't very confident. He needed to continuously improve the plan, add more chips, and increase the chances of success. It would be best to have a hundred percent certainty before taking action.

He had learned his lesson from the previous failure. He must not fail again.

Once he made a move, he must be completely certain. If there is any risk, he must not attack.

In addition, this crisis also made Han Li realize that he must have multiple hiding places, preferably five, eight, or ten nests, to reduce the risk. If one is exposed, he must immediately move to another.

Otherwise, he will be trapped in the current predicament, with his descendants and concubines all in Lingjun City, and he himself will be bound here.
