Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 631: Chapter 246 First Place in the Main Ranking: Chengsheng Mountain! The Ninth Generation, Han Changsheng! New Standards for Taking a Wife and Concubines!_2

White Emperor City suffered an attack from five supreme beings, and originally, the White Emperor suspected the likes of the master of Western Sky Palace, Butian Sect Master, and three others, but now he felt it very likely that Emperor Tianji was involved as well.

Otherwise, why would Emperor Tianji kick him when he’s down and release an influence ranking at this critical time? Was he implying that White Emperor City hadn’t been humiliated enough?

Emperor Tianji was bootlicking his enemies, elevating Chengsheng Mountain to the top while demoting his White Emperor City to the bottom, which felt like an extreme insult.

Indeed, the White Emperor also felt that White Emperor City definitely deserved the tenth place. Who could blame them when White Emperor City was seriously weakened?

“Don’t let me catch the opportunity, otherwise you all will die!”

Murderous intent filled the White Emperor’s eyes, shaking the entire Taibai Immortal Realm as he awarded the honor of top enemy to Han Li, followed by Emperor Tianji, Empress Huangyue, with Empress Yuanchu in the fourth place, and the rest were those unknown supreme beings.

“White Emperor!”

Suddenly a shout echoed in the White Emperor’s mind, jolting him back to clarity.

“Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly.”

The White Emperor reassured the Artifact Spirit of Wuxian Palace, regaining his composure.

He was well aware that what White Emperor City needed now was to lie low, to patiently wait for an opportunity to become a war immortal and successfully transcend the tribulation. Only then could he deliver a fatal blow to his enemies.

……..

Qianyuan Divine Province, Chengsheng Mountain.

At the summit of Chengdao Peak, Han Li stood with his hands behind his back, his blue robes fluttering, no longer dwelling on those memories.

“It’s been thirty years already, huh.”

Han Li heaved a light sigh once more.

Thirty years of growth had made Chengsheng Mountain the universally acknowledged supreme power in the Endless Yuankun Domain, unmatched in its prestige.

Even after two years, Chengsheng Mountain’s momentum hadn’t waned, and its reputation continued to echo across the vast territories of the Eight Hundred Divine Regions.

The influence ranking by Tianji Pavilion had not been released for two years, and to this day, the main list only featured Chengsheng Mountain, with no entries in the subsidiary list.

Tianji Pavilion used this to attract a massive following, as their intelligence business soared to new heights.

Han Li felt it was time to demand protection money from Tianji Pavilion.

Tianji Pavilion had clearly capitalized on his popularity for their traffic, raking in resources. Shouldn’t they share a portion with him?

After all, he had a large family to provide for!

The descendants of Han Mansion at Chengsheng Mountain were numerous, consuming a vast amount of resources daily, and needed a greater influx of resources to meet their needs.

Getting a share of the profits from Tianji Pavilion was the best choice.

During the great battle two years ago, Han Li was aware that Emperor Tianji had seized the moment to deduce his secrets. The Emperor Flag had informed him of this, though Han Li hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.

This influence ranking by Tianji Pavilion seemed to have the intention of inciting conflict between Chengsheng Mountain and the other five mighty forces of the Western Sky Palace, Heavenly Cult, Longevity Qin Family, Longevity Jiang Family, and the Solar Empire.

Now that he had already offended the Huangyue Imperial Empire, Yuanchu Mountain, and White Emperor City, if he were to also offend those five mighty forces, Chengsheng Mountain would not withstand a collective assault from all eight powers.

In these past two years, he had only acquired one ordinary Heavenly Immortal weapon, called Lightning Boat, which embodied the great Dao of lightning and possessed the ultimate speed of a Heavenly Immortal. @@novelbin@@

Fortunately, powers such as the Western Sky Palace and Longevity Qin Family weren’t fools; they didn’t fall for Tianji Pavilion’s scheming, preferring to bide their time and observe.

In fact, they too had greatly benefited from Han Li, plundering a vast amount of resources from White Emperor City, including treasures like Immortal Stones, Immortal Qi, and Immortal Elixirs.

“In a few more years, perhaps ten or twenty, the time will come when Chengsheng Mountain stands invincible in the Yuankun Domain, the time when I, Han Changsheng, reign supreme over the Yuankun Domain.”

Gazing upon the lively and flourishing Chengsheng Mountain, Han Li talked to himself with a hint of anticipation on his face.

At that time, he could have proposed marriage upfront and honorably. Neither the Empress of Huangyue nor the Empress Yuanchu would have been able to refuse, and if they disagreed, he would have taken a more forceful approach.

He hoped that they wouldn’t shamelessly reject the favor.

Han Li was kind to them at first, then became tough, which was more satisfying than being tough right from the start.

As for taking dividends from Tianji Pavilion, there was no need to wait so long. As soon as he had some free time, he could just notify Yu Fengzi, the person in charge of Tianji Pavilion in Qianyuan Divine Province.

Yu Fengzi would naturally relay the situation back to the headquarters of Tianji Pavilion in Yandao Province. If Emperor Tianji agreed, all would be well. If not, once he became invincible, he would settle accounts with Tianji Pavilion and take over all its assets.

Han Li exhaled a breath, dispelling his distracting thoughts, and his gaze fell upon a particular area of Chengdao Peak. There were many exceptionally beautiful women there, each one a top-tier beauty, capable of overthrowing states and cities, and stunning for their generation.

In these thirty years, the descendants of Han Mansion had married a great many wives and concubines, diligently branching out the family tree and causing Han Li’s descendants to surge in number. Each year more were added, and now they had already expanded to the ninth generation.

The first of the ninth generation, a cloud grandchild, was born six years ago, a year after the battle in the Barbarian Region. That was the year when Han Li’s title of Great Emperor of Longevity was established.

Based on the generational naming conventions of Han Mansion, it just so happened to be the turn of the “Long” generation.

Thus, Han Li named the first cloud grandchild Han Changsheng.

If one traced Han Changsheng’s lineage, he was a descendant of the first concubine Li Mingmeng, whom Han Li had married after breaking through to the Pihai Realm.

Li Mingmeng was once considered the number one beauty of Lingjun City and has now cultivated to the pinnacle of the Tongxuan Realm. Her features, temperament, and figure have improved significantly since the beginning, continuously refined as her strength progressed.

Han Changsheng’s favorable name owed partly to Li Mingmeng’s influence.

After all, Han Changsheng had no special physique, and his aptitude was average, but he was lucky enough to be the first-born of the ninth generation, earning Han Li’s favor.

Of course, luck was also a part of strength, something Han Li always acknowledged.

The moment Han Li named the first cloud grandchild Han Changsheng, it signified that he would achieve great things in the future and receive key cultivation from Han Li.

In Han Mansion, it didn’t matter if one’s aptitude was poor; there was always a chance to improve. Even without a special physique, if Han Li wished, he could create one.

Over the thirty years, many of Han Li’s wives and concubines had acquired special physiques. Among his beloved wives, such as Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yue, and others, had already developed special physiques, with only the wives married in recent years yet to develop one.

Among his stunning concubines, Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Chu Yutong, Zhou Zhirou, and others had successively upgraded their aptitudes to First Grade, birthing their special physiques.

However, Han Li had many concubines, and about two-thirds of them still lacked a special physique, most of whom were the newly wedded concubines.

Seven years ago, Han Li raised the standards for taking wives and concubines once again. Only those with Fourth Grade aptitude and Third Grade aptitude, and a beauty score above ninety could become his concubines, while those with Second Grade aptitude and First Grade aptitude, and a beauty score above ninety-five could become his wives.

Exceptions were made for those with special bonuses.

Previously, Han Li’s scope for marriage was limited to the Xuan Domain, where he married many beautiful wives and concubines over twenty-three years.

Seven years ago, after a battle confirmed Chengsheng Mountain’s dominant position in Qianyuan Divine Province, Han Li expanded his scope to the whole Qianyuan Divine Province, necessitating a raise in his standards, otherwise, the number of wives and concubines he could take would be enormous.

Two years ago, after Han Li vanquished the White Emperor and defeated both the Huangyue Empress and the Empress Yuanchu, his fame shook the entire Endless Yuankun Domain, establishing Chengsheng Mountain as the First Power in the Yuan Kun Realm. Once again, he raised the standards for marrying and taking concubines.

Fourth Grade aptitude was no longer sufficient to be a concubine for Han Li, the supreme being of the Yuan Kun Realm with Heaven Imperial Realm combat ability. Only those with Third Grade aptitude and Second Grade aptitude, and a beauty score above ninety-two could be concubines; while only those with First Grade aptitude or higher, and a beauty score above ninety-six could be wives.

Of course, if one possessed a special physique, even with slightly lesser aptitude and beauty, they could still become a wife; others with additional bonuses were also within the range of becoming concubines.

As the standards for marrying and taking concubines increased, the number of wives and concubines Han Li could take was significantly reduced, but still, he took quite a few wives and concubines over the past two years.

After all, in these two years, Han Li was marrying and taking concubines from the entire Endless Yuankun Domain.

He just needed to spread the word. With his status and the power of Chengsheng Mountain, the forces wanting to align with him would willingly send their daughters thousands of miles to Chengsheng Mountain.

It wasn’t just Han Li who benefited from this, but also his descendants. The beautiful female cultivators overlooked by Han Li were offered to the descendants of Han Mansion as wives and concubines by those very forces, gradually increasing the quality of Han Mansion’s new generations.
