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

Chapter 7: Winning Without Lifting a Finger

At this moment, the Sea Opening Realm disciple stationed at the mountain gate finally appeared.

Guarding the mountain gate was a trivial task. This inner disciple took on this task while focusing on cultivation to earn some contribution points.

Usually, no one would come to disturb him. Ordinary people would be stopped by other disciples and would not alarm him at all.

Han Li's return caused quite a commotion, and this inner disciple was also alarmed, so he came out to take a look.

"Han Li?"

Looking at the handsome young man, this inner disciple pondered for a moment before finally remembering who Han Li was. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his actions were not slow.

"So it's Junior Brother Han Li. Congratulations on breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm. Our inner sect has gained another talented individual. It's a joyous occasion."

Han Li deliberately concealed his cultivation level, only revealing the cultivation of the first level of the Sea Opening Realm. He didn't want to be regarded as a genius by the sect, as that would attract too much attention.

With the Longevity Family System, he only needed to quietly develop. In the future, anything was possible. Why rush to compete with those geniuses?

A tree that grows too tall will be toppled by the wind.

Right now, Han Li only wanted to bide his time. In billions of years, he would stand above the heavens and these so-called genius grass on their graves wouldn't even know how tall they were.

The reason he returned to Tianxuan Mountain this time and promoted to an inner disciple was also to establish connections and make it easier for future descendants with qualifications of eighth grade or above to join the sect.

Only when descendants with good cultivation qualifications enter the sect can they receive better cultivation and quickly improve their cultivation level. This would also provide him with feedback on his own cultivation.

Tianxuan Mountain was the sect Han Li chose for his future descendants.

"I've seen Senior Brother Zhang." Han Li clasped his hands in greeting.

This Senior Brother Zhang was slightly older than Han Li and had a cultivation qualification close to the seventh grade. Before he left the mountain, he had already broken through to the sixth level of the Sea Opening Realm and was currently in the mid-stage of the sixth level of the Sea Opening Realm.

Senior Brother Zhang still had more than eighty years of lifespan left, so it was not a problem for him to cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm. However, it would be extremely difficult for him to break through to the Vital Spirit Realm.

The probability of breaking through to the Vital Spirit Realm with a seventh-grade qualification was only about twenty percent. With Senior Brother Zhang's qualification close to the seventh grade, it was likely that the probability of breaking through was less than ten percent.

However, no one could say for sure what the future held. Perhaps Senior Brother Zhang had some special opportunities and would be able to break through.

After chatting with the disciple guarding the mountain gate, especially Senior Brother Zhang, Han Li officially entered Tianxuan Mountain.

Looking at the undulating mountains and the majestic peaks on them, Han Li's lips curled up slightly.

Tianxuan Mountain had a total of six peaks, which were the essence of the sect. The Sect Master and the five Elders each commanded one peak.

The disciples of the sect were divided into Registered Disciples, Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, and Core Disciples.

Registered Disciples and Outer Disciples lived at the foot of Tianxuan Mountain in designated areas, while Inner Disciples lived higher up the mountain and had even denser spiritual energy.

Promoting to the Vital Spirit Realm or being accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master or the Elders would make one a Core Disciple of the sect. Core Disciples were usually disciples of one of the Elders and lived on their respective peaks.

The Sect Master was at the Empty Void Realm, and the five Elders were all Soul Refining Realm cultivators. This was the greatest foundation of Tianxuan Mountain and the reason why Tianxuan Mountain became one of the four major sects in Leizhou and had some reputation throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

Han Li continued on his way, leaving the Outer Sect and entering the Inner Sect. After reporting his purpose, he was led into a grand hall.

In the main hall, there was an old man with white hair, who was the steward of the inner sect and responsible for the promotion of inner sect disciples.

This old man was not simple at all. His name was Jiang Cheng, a powerful cultivator at the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm, and he had a sixth-grade cultivation aptitude.

Although he appeared old, he was actually only slightly older than Han Li. Originally, he was a famous genius of the Tianxuan Sect, breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm in just a few decades and having the potential to reach the Soul Refining Realm. Unfortunately, he encountered a demon woman from the Hehuan Sect and formed a karmic relationship.

When Jiang Cheng went out to experience the world, that demon woman deliberately approached him and planted a seed of affection in his body. Jiang Cheng fell deeply in love with her and eventually succeeded in harvesting her.

After the departure of the demon woman from the Hehuan Sect, Jiang Cheng's hair turned white overnight. He returned to Tianxuan Mountain but was never the same again, lacking ambition and aspirations.

His master and even the sect leader came to see him, and in the end, they only said, "When Jiang Cheng overcomes the tribulation of love, he will be able to quickly advance to the Soul Refining Realm. Otherwise, he will not be able to advance to the Vital Spirit Realm in this lifetime."

This old brother was used as a negative example within the sect, warning disciples to stay away from the demon women of the Hehuan Sect. Han Li couldn't help but wonder how difficult it was for them to do so.

"Senior Brother Jiang, do you have any more questions?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng lost in thought, Han Li spoke up to remind him.

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Han is indeed a cultivator at the Sea Opening Realm. This is your inner sect token. From now on, you are an inner sect disciple of Tianxuan Mountain."

Seeing Jiang Cheng's indifferent appearance, Han Li took the token and tactfully took his leave.

With the identity token in hand, Han Li had unimpeded access within the inner sect. He first went to another place in the inner sect to receive the rewards for becoming an inner sect disciple: ten middle-grade spirit stones, three Sea Opening Pills, a Royal Grade top-grade inner armor, and a set of inner sect disciple attire.

Then he directly arrived at the spacious courtyard assigned to him. The scenery here was beautiful, the spiritual energy was abundant, and the furniture inside was complete.

Han Li casually put on the inner armor and wore the inner sect disciple attire over it. Then he looked at the bag and bottle on the table.

The bottle contained three Sea Opening Pills, which could help Sea Opening Realm cultivators expand their inner sea, increasing its range by about 5%. The effect was quite good.

The bag contained ten middle-grade spirit stones, equivalent to one thousand low-grade spirit stones. It was quite a good benefit.

Although Han Li didn't need the Sea Opening Pills and spirit stones himself, his descendants and concubines would need them. That was also the reason why Han Li made a trip to the sect. The sect had given him quite a lot.

Below the Innate Realm, ordinary worldly wealth was used for transactions. Once reaching the Innate Realm, spirit stones became the hard currency of the cultivation world. They could not only be traded but also accelerate a cultivator's cultivation speed.

Just like Tianxuan Mountain, a large sect with abundant resources, the rewards for disciples were quite generous. Fifty low-grade spirit stones for promotion to outer sect disciples, ten middle-grade spirit stones for promotion to inner sect disciples, and core disciples could even receive two hundred middle-grade spirit stones.

For the next period of time, Han Li continued to live in this small courtyard. The news of his breakthrough to the Sea Opening Realm and promotion to inner sect disciple spread within the sect, and many people came to visit him, including his former senior brothers.

Some of them had become inner sect disciples over the years, while others were still at the Innate Realm and nearing the end of their lifespan.

Those who were nearing the end of their lifespan brightened up when they saw Han Li. If Han Li could break through to the Sea Opening Realm near the end of his lifespan, they also had a chance.

Han Li did not mock them but encouraged them sincerely. He truly hoped that these senior brothers who had a good relationship with him could also break through to the Sea Opening Realm.

Half a month later, Han Li left Tianxuan Mountain. The excuse he gave was going out to experience the world, but in reality, he wanted to retire in Lingjun City and watch the rise and fall of the world at his own pace.

Generally speaking, after becoming an inner sect disciple, one could choose a mountain peak to pay respects to and choose an elder or the sect leader as their master. Once successful, they would directly advance to become a core disciple and gain more cultivation resources.

Han Li was self-aware and did not attempt to find a master. He didn't need one either, as he didn't cultivate at all. What use would a master be to him?

In the past fifty years, he had never cultivated. He broke through to the eighth level of the Sea Opening Realm while lying down. He could impart his knowledge at any time and enjoy a long life, standing tall in the heavens for eternity. It was simply amazing!
