Translator: 549690339
After taking in seven beautiful concubines, Han Li was far from idle, embarking on an arduous journey of cultivation, forging new paths every day, and breaking through obstacles with a battered and bloodied determination.
It must be said that Han Li, possessing the combat ability of the True Martial Realm, was extremely powerful. In battle, he wielded various martial techniques with ease, forcing his opponents to retreat in defeat, step by step.
Even when faced with encirclement, Han Li showed no fear, scrutinizing each of his opponents with a sigh, “The advantage is mine.”
Indeed, how could a few Innate Realm Cultivators ever compete with the venerable Ancestor Han?
Ancestor Han was a fierce figure standing at the pinnacle of the Daqian Empire. His True Martial Realm combat ability was not just for show – each strike carried tremendous force and weight, and even after fighting for hours on end, Ancestor Han’s brow would not furrow in the slightest.
Subsequently, those cultivators who rashly besieged Ancestor Han all ended up kneeling before him begging for mercy, calling him “father” and pleading for his leniency.
Although Ancestor Han was formidable, he wasn’t unreasonable and thus spared these cultivators for the time being.
In the end, Ancestor Han exclaimed with a sigh, “Ancestor’s Shadowless Whip Technique is truly invincible under the heavens!”
After several busy days, Han Li finally rested only after confirming that all his newly taken beautiful concubines were with child.
It had been several months since he had advanced to the complete seventh layer of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
During this time, the Han Mansion saw the addition of several dozen newborns, further bolstering the population of the Han Family.
Naturally, Ancestor Han was beaming with joy, and his cultivation and lifespan increased significantly, with his aptitude also slightly improved.
He calculated that in a few months, the second batch of wives and concubines taken by his descendants in Jizhou would also give birth to their first offspring.
The number of descendants should reach eight hundred, though the number with aptitude would still be lacking.
After about ten more months, the wives and concubines taken by the descendants of the Han Mansion will also give birth to their children, amounting to dozens. Adding the offspring of other descendants, the total number of descendants should reach nine hundred, with three hundred of them having aptitude.
Then, after one to one and a half more years, the number of his descendants will reach one thousand, and by then he would be able to claim a grand prize.
All told, it would take about two and a half to three more years.
Han Li felt this was already incredibly fast. In the past, it would take years to have one child, then ten in a few years, and a hundred in a few more years.
Now, it took only one year for a hundred descendants to appear in this world.
At the previous pace, to add a hundred descendants would have taken at least two years, and to add three hundred would likely take seven or eight years.
Han Li was well aware of why the growth was so rapid – mainly because of the recent move, his descendants took a very large number of wives and concubines in Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Yuanzhou.
For instance, this time Yonchang Manor took in fifty-six, with a total of over one hundred and eighty in Sanzhou alone , and Yuanzhou’s batch had the best aptitude.
Before moving, Han Li had those descendants who had entered the Sect return, to migrate to Yuanzhou. Initially, they had some complaints — what was the point of moving, after all?
Now, those descendants were overwhelmed with excitement, battling with their lovely wives at home every day, nearly neglecting their cultivation.
Originally without wives or concubines, as Cultivators they disdained mortals, desiring spouses with aptitude and beauty.
However, those women both beautiful and talented disdained them in return, for their aptitude was not high, and they lacked background and connections.
But now? Each one of these descendants had one wife and two concubines, some even three or four concubines, each one a beautiful female cultivator of talent.
It was these new women married into the Han Family who made a great contribution to the increase in the number of Han Li’s descendants. Over the next decade, they would add four to five hundred, or even more, to the Han Mansion’s population.
Besides the descendants with aptitude growing their lineage, those without aptitude were also busy procreating on the move. Although they had not taken any new wives or concubines, they already had a considerable number.
“In ten years, the rate of population growth in the Han Mansion will probably have multiplied several times over,” Han Li mused with a sigh.
Ten years later, the descendants born in the previous ten years would have grown up, and those with good aptitude need not marry or take concubines too early, while those with average or no aptitude would need to marry and take concubines earlier.
Because those with good aptitude were given priority in cultivation, with ample resources to aid their practice, the other descendants naturally could not compare with these talented individuals. Those wanting more cultivation resources had to contribute to the Han Family, and procreation was their greatest contribution.
At the summit of Chengdao Peak, Han Li stood tall, overlooking the whole of Chengsheng Mountain, beholding the thriving scene of the Han Mansion.
Before officially marrying Lu Tianxiang and before taking in the seven beautiful concubines, there was a month’s gap during which Han Li was also not idle.
He was first busy with setting up the Spirit Gathering Array for the Han Mansion. The mansion had already stored a large amount of materials for the array, and then he purchased more from outside. Finally, he set up the Spirit Gathering Array for the Han Mansion.
Nine seventh-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays were placed throughout Chengsheng Mountain, one large array covering the entire mountain, and eight smaller ones distributed in various locations.
Three arrays were allocated to Chengdao Peak, and one array each to Yundao Peak and the other two peaks that were in use, with one more placed at the mountainside and another at the foot of the mountain.
These Spirit Gathering Arrays significantly increased the concentration of spiritual energy within the Han Mansion; if quantified, the change was as follows:
Originally the spiritual energy concentration of Chengsheng Mountain was 20 points, quite sparse. After the use of seventh-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays, the concentration of spiritual energy doubled. The spiritual energy concentration of Chengsheng Mountain became 60 points, now comparable to other regions of Yonchang Manor..
