Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 472: Chapter 215: The Celestial Phoenix Moves the Nine Heavens! Xiang Xiang’s Birth Constitution! New Descendant of the Imperial Body! The Ancestor Takes a Wife and Concubines in Xuan Domain_3

In the Xuan Domain, there may indeed be maidens of Second Grade or even First Grade talent, who are either yet undiscovered, still lingering in the Mortal World, or have not yet unraveled the mysteries of their prenatal essence, and so on.

Therefore, Han Li did not want to set the standards too high, as doing so would dampen the enthusiasm of other forces to offer their daughters. Regardless of whether they possessed such high-talented beauties, it was improbable that these forces would send them to the Han Mansion.

Offering a beauty with Second Grade or First Grade talent to Han Li as a wife would simply be too great a loss; they could either cultivate her themselves or send her to a Sacred Land and reap even greater benefits.

With standards set too high, Han Li felt that he might go a long time without taking a new wife, and even the number of concubines he could accept would drastically decrease.

After all, only beauties with Fourth Grade or Third Grade talent were suitable as concubines. Fourth Grade talent was manageable, but the entire Xuan Domain had very few beauties who met the criteria for Third Grade talent.

Only being eligible to become a concubine with Third Grade talent, it was unlikely that any force would do so. Han Li was just a reincarnated formidable being, not a Tongxuan Realm powerhouse yet; he was not quite there yet.

“Alas, for the happiness of my descendants, I must take on more wives and concubines,” sighed Han Li.

He needed to improve the quality of his wives and concubines and control the quantity, yet he also had to keep broadening his sources to ensure that the number of Han Mansion’s descendants grew faster and faster.

The more rapidly the number of descendants in the Han Mansion increased, the faster his cultivation would improve. The stronger he became, the more benefits his progeny could enjoy.

Han Li knew that even if he maintained the current standards, the number of wives he could marry would still be very limited. After all, Third Grade talent was already quite high, possessing the potential for the True Martial Realm. Few forces would be willing to give a Third Grade talent to be his wife.

In this regard, Han Li felt he needed to take action himself and capture some beauties with Third Grade talent or higher to bring back.

However, doing so meant he would need to take certain measures. Third Grade talent was manageable, but beauties with Second Grade or First Grade talent were generally very well-known. He could no longer just capture and marry them like before.

Now that he was too much in the spotlight, the standards for his marrying and taking concubines could easily be deduced by the outside world. If he were to marry frequently and if, coincidentally, a celestial woman of First Grade or Second Grade talent went missing, it would be all too apparent.

Still, the number of his concubines was estimated to increase rapidly. In the Daqian Empire alone, he had taken many wives and concubines of Fifth Grade and Fourth Grade talent. Looking across the entire Xuan Domain, there would only be more.

Han Li felt this was acceptable; after all, he possessed the Life-Prolonging Furnace and with enough time, he could upgrade those concubines to First Grade talent.

Once he had made a decision, Han Li informed the relevant parties within the Han Mansion, and had his descendants convey his stance to the outside world.

This news spread rapidly outside the Daqian Empire, eventually reaching the entire Xuan Domain, and all forces above the God Refining Realm received the message.

The attention was mainly due to the numerous forces focused on the Han Mansion, who sought to curry favor with Han Li by offering daughters. Once they knew that Han Li was intent on taking wives and concubines across the Xuan Domain, interested forces quickly became aware.

When they learned of Han Li’s standards for taking wives and concubines, many forces sighed with relief, while many others heaved a sigh of regret.

The forces that sighed were the medium-sized ones, such as those at the God Refining Realm or Hollow Void Stage. The heads of these forces were only of the God Refining Stage or Hollow Void Stage, with talents mostly at the Sixth Grade or Fifth Grade, and very few at Fourth Grade.

These medium-sized forces realized they weren’t even qualified to cling to the coattails of Han Li, a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu and the future Tongxuan Realm mighty being.

The forces within had few if any cultivators with Fifth Grade talent, let alone being able to find a beautiful female cultivator of that talent to offer.

Even if by some chance they did find one, sending her to the Han Mansion in the Daqian Empire would only allow her to become a lowly ranked concubine.

The pleased forces were those of Myriad Phenomena Realm status and even True Martial Realm status, as some True Martial Realm forces in Xuan Domain sought to offer daughters to Han Li.

For instance, the Da Jing Dynasty wanted to send some beautiful cultivators to Han Li to mend their relationship and avoid Han Li siding with the Qian Dynasty.

Now, the Qian Dynasty was not what it used to be, with Han Li, a reincarnated powerhouse with boundless prospects, at its helm, so they no longer needed to worry about their downfall.

If the Da Jing Dynasty didn’t want to give up the Sanzhou territory already in its grasp, it knew it had to be strategic. As long as they could get on Han Li’s good side, they wouldn’t have to worry about this issue.

These Myriad Phenomena Realm andTrue Martial Realm forces breathed a sigh of relief because Han Li’s standards for marrying and taking concubines weren’t set too high. If the standards were too lofty, even if they wanted to support him, they would have had to give up.

Now, the standards were just right. Among the Myriad Phenomena Realm forces, there were beauties with Fourth Grade talent, and a rare few with Third Grade. Whether to send them as concubines or as wives, they still had a choice.

If only Third Grade talent could become a concubine, they wouldn’t have had a choice at all, and most Myriad Phenomena Realm forces wouldn’t qualify. Those that did would probably refrain from sending one.

But in the True Martial Realm forces, there were many beautiful cultivators of Fourth Grade talent and even quite a few of Third Grade. Sending one to Han Li would not be a bad move, for the rewards of winning his favor could be incredibly high.

Third Grade talent alone merely indicated potential for the True Martial Realm. It still required sufficient cultivation resources to have a fair chance of reaching that realm, which could take at least a few hundred years. Could anything be faster than offering a daughter to become a wife in the Han Mansion?

In a few hundred years, Han Li would have already cultivated to the Divine Yuan Realm, becoming an exalted Emperor Wu.
