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

Chapter 87: Cause and Effect

For the powerful beings trapped in the Myriad Manifestations Realm's Peerless Emperor Formation, Lutianxiang is too weak, a mere breath from them could kill countless people.

However, at this moment, he doesn't want Lutianxiang to leave. This is the opportunity he has worked so hard to create.

"It has been 260,000 years, when will I be able to break free from this confinement?"

The majestic figure's voice is filled with desolation, disappointment, and unwillingness.

After a long silence, the voice filled with desolation and strength resounds again, "I wonder if it's luck or misfortune?"

Before the ancient calamity, he had already been sealed in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province for over a hundred thousand years. When the ancient calamity erupted tens of thousands of years later, he happened to escape.

Even after eleven thousand years have passed, he still trembles with fear whenever he thinks about it. That calamity was too terrifying.

The Peerless Emperor Formation sealed him, but it also protected him. He saw a part of the calamity clearly within the formation, which made even this Heavenly Sovereign Realm Emperor feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

The ancient calamity did not only occur in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province, but it affected the entire Yuan Kun Domain. Not a single one of the eight hundred divine continents was spared.

Back then, the Yuan Kun Domain had Celestial Immortals residing in it. As a great emperor like him, he occasionally encountered True Immortals. However, during the ancient calamity, even Celestial Immortals and True Immortals were powerless to resist.

He had personally witnessed the body of a Celestial Immortal falling from the sky, pierced by a sword light. A Celestial Immortal who had roamed the ages for countless years died without any resistance.

At that time, he was truly terrified, trembling in the Peerless Emperor Formation, exerting all his strength to hide his aura, just to avoid being tainted by the calamity.

Fortunately, he did survive within the Peerless Emperor Formation. The ancient calamity did not reach him.

"But why did my enemy also survive the ancient calamity?"

This Emperor suddenly became a little crazy, and all the stars in his eyes shattered, along with the countless worlds that were illusions.

Fifty thousand years after the ancient calamity, this Peerless Emperor Formation finally revealed some flaws under his unremitting efforts. However, before he could continue to expand on this achievement, his enemy sent powerful individuals to maintain the formation.

Since then, every five hundred years, powerful individuals would come from the White Emperor City, cross the Northern Sea, and reinforce the seal in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province, preventing any loosening of the Peerless Emperor Formation and his escape.

After numerous unsuccessful attempts, he fell silent, waiting for an opportunity. After tens of thousands of years, he finally created a small flaw in the formation, but it was not enough to release even a fraction of his power.

Using this tiny amount of power, he first threw out a pill formula outside the Nine-Colored Light Curtain, and then sucked in a small cultivator who happened to pass by a hundred meters away.

He still remembers that the small cultivator came to the Nine-Colored Light Curtain and was fascinated by countless treasures. He desperately attacked the light curtain, wasting a lot of time without making any progress. In the end, he gave up and searched elsewhere, finding the pill formula and then throwing it away.

It was a pill formula that could enhance one's aptitude, which was insignificant to him. However, he knew that this pill formula would be enough to drive all the forces in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province crazy.

He wanted to use the small cultivator's hand to spread this pill formula, attracting more powerful individuals to explore. Only when those powerful individuals desperately attacked the Nine-Colored Light Curtain could he find an opportunity to break free.

As for the life or death of that small cultivator, he didn't care.

But no matter how he calculated, the pill formula did not spread from the hands of the small cultivator. Now he doesn't know who has it, and he has waited for decades without anyone else coming to the secret realm.

Recently, Zi Miaozhen came to reinforce the seal again. Fortunately, he had left a trace of power hidden outside, which Zi Miaozhen didn't notice.

A year ago, he used that trace of power to suck in another Vital Spirit Realm cultivator and displayed countless treasures within the Nine-Colored Light Curtain.

He could tell that the spirit of this Vital Spirit Realm cultivator was disturbed and contaminated. In order to attract the powerful individual who contaminated the Vital Spirit Realm, he turned that trace of power into pure spiritual energy, helping the cultivator improve his cultivation. After sending him away, that trace of power was almost completely exhausted.

One year is not enough time for that trace of power to recover. He cannot guide Lutianxiang in yet, and he needs more time, but Lutianxiang is becoming impatient.

This makes the Emperor a little anxious.

On the outskirts of Yuanzhou,

Two figures were frantically fleeing, their breaths somewhat labored, as if they were injured.

"Damn it, those crazy dogs from the Jingye Clan!" The woman in the purple dress clutched her chest, her tone filled with indignation.

The girl in the yellow dress remained silent.

"Don't play dead. Didn't you say you took care of it? How did the Jingye Clan still find us?" The woman in the purple dress said angrily.

The girl in the yellow dress shook her head slightly. "This should be the work of that old man from the Qintian Observatory."

"Two insignificant Soul Refining cultivators, and they deserve the personal attention of the Chief of the Jingye Clan?" The woman in the purple dress sneered, her expression full of disbelief.

"Otherwise? Who does the Jingye Clan have? Although the Chief of the Jingye Clan is a grandmaster at the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he is just a martial artist." The girl in the yellow dress looked disdainful.

The woman in the purple dress fell silent, feeling uneasy. Could it be that the old man from the Qintian Observatory did this on purpose?

Could it be that they had already been exposed? The Chief used this as an excuse to drive them out of the capital, but why?

They had encountered True Martial Realm demon kings in the Demon Domain who were much stronger than the Chief of the Qintian Observatory. But even when the demon kings mentioned the Chief of the Qintian Observatory, they showed some fear.

While the two women argued through voice transmission, they hurriedly fled, not daring to stop for a moment.

After the incident, a leader from the Jingye Clan suddenly arrived at the Jin Yue Palace with several Soul Refining cultivators and caught the two women off guard.

If they hadn't had a way to rely on, they wouldn't have been able to escape, and they would have been captured by the leader of the Jingye Clan. Even so, they were still worried about being surrounded and intercepted.

The original route for the two women was to escape in the direction of the Great Jing Dynasty, but due to the interception, they changed their route and fled towards the direction of the Great Liang Dynasty. To reach the Great Liang Dynasty, they needed to pass through the territory of the Yin Yang Path or the territory of the Ku Rong Temple.

Whether it was the Yin Yang Path or the Ku Rong Temple, the two women didn't dare to stay there for long, preferring to hide in the most comfortable and peaceful territory of the Human Dynasty.

The two women had been fleeing for a long time, and then they changed their route again. The cultivators blocking their way ahead were too strong, so they didn't dare to force their way through and had to find a detour with fewer pursuers.

Finally, the two women fled to Ji Island, where they rested temporarily, treated their injuries, and decided to find an opportunity to continue their journey.

Lei Prefecture, Lingjun City.

Han Li was once again naming his children, experiencing both pain and joy.

Every time he named his children, Han Li had to rack his brains. The main reason was that he had already given many names before, so he couldn't repeat them, and the names had to sound good or have good meanings.

Each of his children could provide him with one year of lifespan, one year of cultivation, as well as techniques and pills. The recently born children also had aptitude and could provide aptitude feedback, improving Han Li's cultivation aptitude.

After naming the daughters of Lin Yi Wu and Lin Yi Yin, this was the fourteenth time Han Li had named his children. The recipients of the names this time were the descendants of Chu Yu Meng and Chu Yu Tong, the twin sisters.

The twins gave birth to a boy and a girl this time, both with eighth-grade aptitude.

Han Li thought it was pretty good. Chu Yu Meng and Chu Yu Tong only had ninth-grade aptitude. Generally speaking, only the first generation of descendants would inherit their aptitude, and the aptitude of the subsequent generations would become worse and worse, or even have no cultivation aptitude at all.

But their partners were Han Li, who not only had reached the peak of the Soul Refining realm but also had a relatively high sixth-grade aptitude, which allowed more of their descendants to inherit his aptitude.

PS: In Chapter 2, I made some changes to the part about the rewards for the descendants.

Previously, the setting was that the rewards would halve with each generation until the fourth generation. I initially wrote it that way, but later I got confused. All the descendants now receive the same rewards as the first generation.

Many readers also felt that the previous setting was not good, that the "golden finger" was too strong, and that it suppressed the protagonist. Now I have made changes, which should be more logical.

Another thing: This book is a fast-paced cultivation novel. I won't deliberately suppress the protagonist's realm advancement, but there won't be no restrictions either. Otherwise, the advancement would be too fast and it would easily collapse. I believe no one wants to see the book collapse too quickly.
