Chapter 347: Chapter 189: Marrying the Bodhisattva Before Obtaining the Sutras, Not Letting Down the Buddha or You! The Vague Red-Haired Monster? (Large Chapter, Please Subscribe)_2
The House of Divine Armies is the weakest and the most amiable, lacking any ideological disputes with the Dao Sect, Demon Clan, and Buddhist Sect; however, the Dao Sect, Buddhist Sect, and Demon Clan are fiercely competitive with each other.
Therefore, Han Li simply abandoned this thought.
“Can they really handle it well?” Han Li sighed softly.
He always felt that the major Sacred Lands had somewhat underestimated the incident in the Xuan Domain, sending only some Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors to handle it. Were they looking down on that existence too much?
Over the years, affected by the incident in the Xuan Domain, Han Li had not spared any effort in gathering intelligence to understand what exactly the Xuan Domain incident was about, and had roughly figured out which Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors the various powers had dispatched to deal with it.
All four Sacred Lands of the Human Clan had Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors emerging from seclusion: Bai Yujing’s third Sect Leader Lu Zhen, Xumi Mountain’s Joyful Arhat, Heavenly Demon Hall’s Devil Emperor of Blood Sea, and the House of Divine Armies’ Prison Spear Emperor Jiang Taijing.
The Demon and Barbarian Clans also had Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors in action, with the Barbarian Emperor Lí Mán descending from the Pinnacle of Stars, and it was said that the Demon Clan was overseen by the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing in recent years.
It was rumored that Lu Zhen was a Sixth Heaven Martial Emperor of the Divine Yuan Realm, and some speculated he had broken through to the Later Stage of the Divine Yuan Realm. The other Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors were not easy to provoke either.
The Heaven Lord of Emperor Mingtian, which had moved from the East Sea to the Chaotic Domain and controlled a third of its territory, also spread word that he would go to the Xuan Domain. It was said that this was a Fourth Heaven Martial Emperor of the Divine Yuan Realm.
Then there was the Ancient Empire, the only Divine Yuan Realm power native to the Xuan Domain. The incident was right in Xuan Domain, and the Ancient Empire was the first to bear the brunt. That old ancestor of the Ancient Empire would also emerge, his cultivation level unclear.
Some speculated he was still in the Early Stage of the Divine Yuan Realm, while others guessed that the old ancestor of the Ancient Empire had advanced to the Middle Stage of the Divine Yuan Realm, possessing formidable strength.
The Ancient Empire had been able to stand in the Xuan Domain for over sixteen thousand years, controlling a third of the Xuan Domain’s territory. According to legend, the Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperor who founded the Ancient Empire had inherited the legacy of some Saint Abyss Realm Power, likely commanded a Sacred Soldier, but had never used it.
Others also spotted the trace of Fairy Qing Shuang from the Penglai Immortal Sect. The Penglai Immortal Sect, located deep in the East Sea on Penglai Fairy Island, was a place Han Li had only read about in various biographies; he didn’t expect they would send someone as well.
These Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors should mostly be arriving with Sacred Soldiers in tow. Theoretically, they should be able to handle the situation well, but deep down, he had an ominous premonition, so he had to go check it out himself, albeit incognito.
Out of the nine Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors, Han Li was most concerned with only two, with another two garnering slight attention.
The first two were Fairy Qing Shuang from the Penglai Immortal Sect and the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing from Myriad Demon Mountain—both were Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors. Xue Yueqing had long been a target for Han Li, and now Fairy Qing Shuang had also entered his list of targets.
He considered whether to seize this opportunity to capture both Female Martial Emperors at once; both Fairy Qing Shuang and Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing were young and powerful Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors, with at least Second Grade talent.
Among his wives, he lacked those with Second Grade talent and beautiful female cultivators, as well as a Divine Yuan Realm Female Martial Emperor; Han Li was very curious to experience what that would be like.
Han Li was plotting in his mind how to get his hands on Fairy Qing Shuang and Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing.
Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing was an important member of the Sacred Land, Myriad Demon Mountain, and currently in charge of it, while Fairy Qing Shuang’s Penglai Immortal Sect might not be a Sacred Land, but was not far off, housing Tongxuan Realm experts and Immortal Weapons that ensured its destiny.
Han Li was worried that capturing both Fairy Qing Shuang and Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing in a short period would create a tremendous shockwave, enough to rock the entire Qianyuan Divine Province. It was unlikely that Myriad Demon Mountain and Penglai Immortal Sect would overlook it.
This would cause a backlash.
Although Han Li was not particularly wary, he still didn’t want to take too many risks. He couldn’t stand against Immortal Weapons, and the completely revived Void Bell wouldn’t hold up either.
Capturing two Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors from Penglai Immortal Sect and Myriad Demon Mountain might alarm Sacred Lands like Bai Yujing and Xumi Mountain. To protect the True Martial Realm and Divine Yuan Realm female cultivators within their Sacred Lands, they might very well join forces to trouble him.
“Should I just capture one?” Han Li sighed.
If he only captured one, it would be hard for him to let go. If Fairy Qing Shuang returned to Penglai Immortal Sect or Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing returned to Myriad Demon Mountain, another opportunity to capture them would be scarce, and he would have to wait for a very long time.
“It would be nice if they appeared one by one.”
Han Li muttered to himself, but he also knew it was quite unlikely.
These Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors would basically all be in action two years later, arriving directly in the Xuan Domain to handle the incident. How could they come one by one?
He also couldn’t track the whereabouts of Fairy Qing Shuang and Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing; his only chance would be in two years, when both Fairy Qing Shuang and Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing would appear.
Han Li felt a headache coming on. He decided to stop thinking about it for now and play it by ear when the time came. Whichever of Fairy Qing Shuang and Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing was easier to capture, he would take her back as his partner.
The other two Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors he was slightly interested in were Bai Keqing from Bai Yujing, a legend throughout the Qianyuan Divine Province with a great fate upon him. Once young and ambitious, he self-proclaimed to be unbeaten “in three thousand years.”
But Bai Keqing was just over three thousand years old, and there was a good deal of exaggeration to his claims. Allegedly, he later offended a female Bodhisattva from Xumi Mountain and nearly got smacked to death by her, only saved by the intervention of a Tongxuan Realm powerhouse from Bai Yujing, resulting in him being confined.
The other was the Joyful Arhat from Xumi Mountain, whose proactive arrival in the Xuan Domain likely carried a motive of revenge against him.
Initially, Kurong Kong and Tuoshan Kong had cornered Bai Keqing in the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, intending to capture her and take her back to Xumi Mountain for conversion. In the end, she surely ended up in the hands of Joyful Arhat.
