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

Chapter 96: The Key to the Future

Chaos Domain, a mysterious force.

In a dark golden palace, several thrones were suspended, each representing a True Martial Realm Martial King.

"We were careless and suffered a big loss this time."

"King Wu'an has hidden himself well. He actually possesses True Martial Realm battle power. I suspect he may have had the opportunity to refine a third-grade True Pill."

"Are you saying that King Wu'an wants to refine the legendary King Grade True Pill?"

"It's very possible. It seems that his opportunity is extraordinary, which is why King Wu'an is treating it so seriously."

"One Myriad Manifestations Realm expert died in Daqian, and we lost three. Who will go to Daqian and kill King Wu'an?"

"No, we are not a local force in Xuan Domain. Sending a Myriad Manifestations Realm expert is acceptable, but if a True Martial Realm expert is dispatched, the Great Ancient Dynasty will not sit idly by."

"Yes, the Great Ancient Dynasty has always treated Xuan Domain as its own territory and has made great efforts to prevent the infiltration of forces from other domains."

"Hehe~ Haven't the Buddha Domain, Dao Domain, and Demon Domain all infiltrated? Can the Great Ancient Dynasty stop them?"

"All three domains have already been unified, so the Great Ancient Dynasty naturally doesn't dare to obstruct too much. But can we compare to those three domains?"

"Enough, indeed we need to send a True Martial Realm expert to oversee the situation and continue with the third step of the plan. As for King Wu'an, we will deal with him when that opportunity arises."

When this voice sounded, all other voices disappeared, quickly reaching a consensus.

Jeju Island.

Two demon women hiding in a small county felt confused and even frightened.

They had long since escaped their pursuers and had been staying here peacefully for some time. They had wanted to stay here indefinitely, but who knew that something unexpected would happen.

A terrifying battle actually broke out in Jeju Island, and four Grandmasters died in succession. This was too frightening.

The two of them were only Soul Refining Realm cultivators, and such a battle was too terrifying for them. The aftermath alone could easily kill them.

"Should we leave Jeju Island?" the woman in the purple dress trembled.

The woman in the yellow dress nodded. She also felt a lingering fear and said, "King Wu'an is in Huozhou, and Leizhou is under his jurisdiction. It's best for us not to go there."

"If we don't go to Leizhou, how can we go to the Yin Yang Path and transfer to the Great Liang Dynasty?" the woman in the purple dress asked.

"Forget about going to the Great Liang Dynasty. Let's go to Yuanzhou to avoid trouble and stay away from the three provinces where King Wu'an is located," the woman in the yellow dress thought for a moment and said.

After pondering for a while, the woman in the purple dress agreed. Yuanzhou was only one province away from Yuanzhou, where the Great Qian Dynasty's capital city was located. If they had the opportunity, they could still return to the capital city and complete their unfinished goals.

Great Qian Dynasty's capital city.

An important court meeting was being held, attended by high-ranking officials of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Emperor, the Left Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor, the National Teacher, the Chief Astronomer, the Chief Justice of the Jingye Department, the Grand General, the pillar of the royal family, and the Chief Internal Affairs Officer. This was a meeting with only nine people, eight participants and one observer.

The nine individuals represented the highest positions of power in the nine aspects of the Great Qian Dynasty, and their every word and action profoundly influenced the operation of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The theme of the meeting was the Battle of Jeju Island, and the debate began immediately. Some agreed with King Wu'an's actions, some opposed them, and some remained neutral.

Those who agreed believed that although the Great Qian Dynasty lost a commander, King Wu'an's thunderous killing of three Grandmasters demonstrated his True Martial Realm strength, which was enough to deter those ambitious forces and gather the hearts of the sects within the dynasty, buying more time for the Great Qian Dynasty.

Those who opposed believed that King Wu'an should not have killed those three Grandmasters. It would have been better to capture them alive. This would escalate the conflict and likely lead to the True Martial Realm expert of that mysterious force taking action, causing even greater and more widespread turmoil, ultimately endangering the Great Qian Dynasty.

The neutral party believed that King Wu'an's demonstration of strength was good, but killing three Grandmasters was indeed a lack of consideration and could easily cause greater turmoil. However, since the incident had already occurred, they should be prepared and face it calmly.

Watching these high-ranking officials argue heatedly, as if they were about to roll up their sleeves and fight, the Emperor couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, the Emperor made a final decision: "When it's time to kill, we cannot show mercy. When it's time to compromise, we can make partial concessions. Spread the word and deter both internal and external forces."

The morning meeting dispersed, leaving only two people in the empty building.

Emperor Qian sat alone, with the Grand Internal Supervisor standing by silently, not uttering a word from beginning to end.

Thinking of Prince Wu'an, Emperor Qian's gaze became deep and mysterious, with a hint of indescribable emotion, eventually sighing.

Back when he was the Crown Prince, he was inferior to Prince Wu'an in all aspects. The outside world believed that he had ascended to the throne through some means, and after his enthronement, he suppressed Prince Wu'an in various ways and did many dishonorable things.

But what was the truth?

He was forced to ascend the throne, bearing various pressures, allowing Prince Wu'an to fade from view and focus on cultivation. Once Prince Wu'an achieved the True Martial Realm, Emperor Qian, as the Emperor, would abdicate and pass the throne to him.

How was this any different from being a puppet?

But he had no choice but to do it. Whether it was the pressure from the ancestors or for his own future, he had to temporarily shoulder this burden.

In the capital city, there were several tall buildings that overlooked the entire imperial capital, and one of them was the Qintian Observatory.

At this moment, the Observatory's chief stood at the highest point, observing the weather of the entire imperial capital, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the Prime Minister's residence.

Then, using the fate of the entire Great Qian Dynasty as a guide, he calculated the future of the Great Qian Dynasty. This consumed a great deal of his mental energy, making him age three years in an instant.

"Leizhou."

The chief let out a breath. This was the answer he obtained from the depths of his mind.

"It seems that the opportunity lies in Leizhou," a glimmer of excitement flashed in the chief's eyes.

Prince Wu'an was the future of the Great Qian Dynasty. If he obtained that opportunity, he would definitely refine the legendary King Grade True Pill. After advancing to the True Martial Realm, he would make rapid progress and quickly reach the peak, sweeping away all opponents.

Not only could this resolve the crisis facing the Great Qian Dynasty, but it could also elevate the Great Qian Dynasty to a new height.

Lingjun City, Han Residence.

Ten days had passed since the Battle of Jizhou, and Han Li decided to officially move after ten more days and relocate to Yuanchou.

Since he made the decision to move, more than ten days had passed. The Han Residence had been preparing various matters, and now more than half of the preparations were complete.

The descendants of the Han family who were cultivating in Fengyang Prefecture and the surrounding prefectures had been notified, and those who were willing to return had already set off on their journey.

Only Tianxuan Mountain had not been notified yet. There were several of Han Li's children in Tianxuan Mountain, all with seventh or eighth-grade aptitude. Because it was too far away, Han Li did not have someone notify them.

He decided to go to Tianxuan Mountain again to bring back those descendants and also pay a visit to his master, Gongsun Yun.

After moving to Yuanchou, Tianxuan Mountain would be even farther away. The radiance of Tianxuan Mountain would not reach Yuanchou, and Han Li would not frequently return.

Perhaps this would be his last time returning to Tianxuan Mountain in this lifetime.

After arranging everything and informing his beautiful concubines, Han Li set off. With a flicker, he disappeared from Lingjun City.

He no longer deliberately concealed his strength. This move to Yuanchou was seen as a great risk by his concubines. The Han family's strength was not enough to move across provinces, but since Han Li had made the decision, they could only follow.

So Han Li planned to boost their confidence. He wouldn't reveal his cultivation level to them and let them guess. This would also reduce some trouble.

Most of his concubines had family backgrounds, and occasionally they would come into contact with people from their families. It was possible that they would unintentionally leak out his strength.

The outside world knew that he had become stronger, but they didn't know how strong he was. It was even more impossible for them to guess that he was a peak master of the Empty Void Realm. This would also bring some benefits to the Han family.

PS: After moving, I will adjust some writing styles. The appearance of high-level experts like the Emperor, Celestial Immortal Zi, Dragon Maiden, Prince Wu'an, and the three elders came too quickly in the beginning. This is not a big problem; they won't affect the protagonist for a long time. However, the urgency is a bit too strong with the Dragon Maiden, Prince Wu'an, the three elders, and even Lutian Xiang, all having higher cultivation levels than the protagonist.

The Emperor, Celestial Immortal Zi, etc., won't affect the protagonist for a long time, so it's not a big problem. The urgency is a bit too strong. The protagonist's cultivation speed is also fast, but there is always a sense of urgency. Later, I will write more about the advantages of the protagonist's cultivation level, involving Jiang Baiye, Yun Miao Yi, the two demonesses, and other characters.

There are also reasons for the writing style. This book has a fast pace, and the timeline progresses quickly, so many things are briefly written, making it seem somewhat weak and pale.
