Chapter 412: Chapter 201 If the Public Does Not Abandon, Kui Wishes to Become Your Adoptive Son_4

Han Li glanced at the system prompt with a look of surprise on his face, as the reward was significantly greater than he had anticipated.

After investigating, Han Li discovered that it was a normal reward increase; future generations reaching five thousand or six thousand would receive rewards of this magnitude. If the number reached seven thousand, there would be a small increase, and if it topped ten thousand, there would be a significant surge.

To this, Patriarch Han was very pleased.

The rewards for four thousand descendants were considerable: two hundred years more in cultivation, an additional thirty Pihai Pills, twenty more Gangyuan Pills, ten more Immortal Conservation Pills, an extra one hundred years of experience in the Four Arts of Cultivation, and martial arts skills upgraded from Heaven Rank Upper Grade to Divine Rank Lower Grade.

Han Li didn’t care much about the Pihai Pills, Gangyuan Pills, and Immortal Conservation Pills, since with the Chengdao Vial in hand, he could have as many as he desired.

However, the advancements in cultivation, cultivation arts experience, and Divine Rank martial arts skills thrilled Patriarch Han, for these were areas he lacked.

At the thought, Han Li sat down cross-legged as a beam of Emperor’s Light from the Void Bell isolated him, and he began to claim his rewards.

First, he received four hundred years of alchemy experience, elevating him from an ordinary Third Grade Alchemist to an intermediate Second Grade Alchemist, a status akin to that of a master alchemist.

Next, Han Li received the Divine Rank Lower Grade martial technique, “Five Elements Divine Punch,” the second Divine Rank Lower Grade martial technique he had obtained, the previous one being the Triple Xuan Body Art.

In Han Li’s hands, the Five Elements Divine Punch could unleash power comparable to that of an Emperor Level Lower Grade martial technique. As a mid-stage warrior in the Divine Yuan Realm, executing a perfected Quasi Emperor level technique, he could unleash combat ability tantamount to the Sixth Heaven of the Tongxuan Realm.

Theoretically, a perfected Quasi Emperor level technique shouldn’t have such limited combat power, but Han Li’s lower cultivation level greatly reduced the Five Elements Divine Punch’s potential.

Han Li estimated that if he were to fully execute the Triple Xuan Body Art, creating fifteen bodies, and then simultaneously execute the Five Elements Divine Punch, he might not reach the combat ability of late-stage Tongxuan Realm, but it should be close.

The next day,

Han Li took out an Immortal Cultivating Pill from the Chengdao Vial and returned it to Long Yue.

On the third day, Han Li took another Immortal Cultivating Pill from the Chengdao Vial and then headed to Zaidao Peak.

Atop Zaidao Peak, there were Lower Grade Divine Medicines like Three Netherworld Grass and Supreme Grade Divine Medicines like the Nine Tribulations Sacred Lotus, as well as Kui Yi, the Tongxuan Realm peak-level Mythical Beast Kui Ox.

First, he checked the growth of the Nine Tribulations Sacred Lotus and found it flourishing, far quicker than when he had hastened its maturity with Top-grade Spirit Stones; truly, Emperor Level Lower Grade Dragon Veins were extraordinary.

Then, Han Li looked at Kui Yi, who was nudging at his leg, fondly stroked its head, and asked with a smile, “Kui Yi, would you like to ascend to the Heavenly Abyss Realm?”

“Yes, of course I would. Master, will you help Kui Yi breakthrough to the Heavenly Abyss Realm?”

Kui Yi paused, then its face lit up with excitement as it began to adorably pander.

As a Mystical Beast, Kui Yi possessed high intelligence. Since its master had posed the question, it must mean there was intent to assist in its breakthrough.

Naturally, Kui Yi desperately wished for the chance to break through to the Heavenly Abyss Realm and become a Saint.

“Then I shall give you the opportunity. I hope you won’t disappoint me,”

said Han Li solemnly.

Thinking of helping Kui Yi break through to the Heavenly Abyss Realm was a plan Han Li had formed after acquiring the Chengdao Vial, to reproduce an Immortal Cultivating Pill and then give it to Kui Yi to consume.

Once Kui Yi advanced to the Heavenly Abyss Realm and became a Mystical Beast with increased strength, it would provide even better protection for Han Mansion.

Additionally, Han Li was also preparing for any envoys sent by Empress Fengyue or Empress Yuanchu. Having a Saint-level Mystical Beast at home would give Han Li more confidence.

When the time came, Kui Yi would prove immensely valuable.

“Kui Yi will not disappoint master,”

Kui Yi promised with utmost earnestness.

If it weren’t inappropriate to say so, Kui Yi would have expressed, “Kui has drifted through life, lamenting not meeting a wise master sooner. If my master will have me, Kui wishes to become his adopted son…”

Han Li nodded slightly, then took out the Immortal Cultivating Pill, saying, “Within this Jade Vial lies an Immortal Cultivating Pill. Take it, and when you are ready, call for Zi Yi and let her take you to the deep void for your breakthrough.”

Cultivation by its very nature defies the heavens, and the journey is fraught with calamities; only the true darlings of the heavens sail smoothly.

Cultivators attempting to break through to the Innate Realm are the first to transcend the mundane and venture onto the path of cultivation. From there, they proceed through realms like the Pihai Realm, Gangyuan Realm, … up to the Tongxuan Realm, with no celestial tribulations in between.

However, when a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Tongxuan Realm attempts to break through to the Heavenly Abyss Realm, celestial tribulations will descend to hinder their enlightenment. If the cultivator’s Heavenly Abyss can withstand the test, they will successfully overcome the celestial tribulation and become a Saint.

During tribulation, the cultivator must often be wary of human calamities as well. Cultivators are most vulnerable right after passing their tribulation, easily falling prey to jeopardy and perishing.

Han Li’s request for Zi Yi to protect Kui Yi wasn’t due to human calamity concerns. He simply did not want to create a stir or have the residents of Han Mansion and the outside world become aware of Kui Yi, whose existence was currently known only to him.

“Yes, master,”

Kui Yi replied excitedly, cherishing the Jade Vial as it observed it carefully. Han Li smiled and vanished from Zaidao Peak.

Ten days later, Han Li received good news from Zi Yi: Kui Yi had successfully navigated its tribulation and officially ascended to the ranks of the Heavenly Abyss Realm as a Mystical Beast.

Han Li was quite delighted and generously rewarded himself that day. As for the method of reward, it naturally involved profound discussions with his beloved wife and concubines.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed. Han Li had not taken any wives or concubines in Han Mansion but had indeed taken a beautiful concubine in The Li Manor, and of course, there was no shortage of sowing his seeds.
