Da Qian, The Li Manor.

Han Li walked out of his beloved Chu Xianlin's bedroom.

After two months of dual cultivation, along with last night's fervent battle, Chu Xianlin's cultivation had finally advanced another step, breaking through from the third level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm to the fourth level.

After her realm breakthrough, Chu Xianlin rewarded her husband handsomely, allowing him to engage in all kinds of battles with her, and she herself also reveled in it.

Arriving at the top floor of Chong Xiao Pavilion, Han Li overlooked the entire Li Manor, which now had much more life and vitality, having seen a significant increase in population compared to before.

Originally, The Li Manor had a few thousand people, consisting of all sorts of maids, guards, and the like. Now, there were over five hundred of his descendants, ranging from newborns to five years old, ready for cultivation training when the two manors merged.

Beyond his descendants, the harem area contained a multitude of palaces, of which more than one hundred and forty were inhabited; each residence belonged to one of Han Li's beautiful wives and concubines. They also had a large number of maids, all of whom were quite pretty and well-formed.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, all his wives and concubines appeared in his mind: where they were, what they were doing, what they said... it was all crystal clear.

"This is all the fruit of the patriarch's efforts," Han Li sighed.

During these two months, he had not taken any more wives or concubines in Han Mansion, but he had taken on two more concubines in The Li Manor, each with Fifth Grade talents and looks scoring over eighty-five points.

Han Li was no longer planning to take any more beautiful but lower than Fifth Grade talented female cultivators, unless something particularly special and attractive about them caught his interest, such as... (fill in the blank).

According to his plans, the standards for taking wives and concubines in both Han Mansion and The Li Manor were to be unified and greatly elevated.

From now on, only exquisitely beautiful female cultivators with a talent of Fifth Grade, Fourth Grade and looks scoring above eighty-five points could become his concubines, and those with looks scoring above ninety points and Third Grade talent and above could become his wives.

Han Li was deliberately controlling the number of his wives and concubines.

With his current strength, it was somewhat beneath his status to take exquisite female cultivators with Sixth or Seventh Grade talents as concubines and Fourth Grade talented beauties as wives.

The outside world was unaware of his true combat ability, but Han Li was well aware of it. Moreover, those beautiful female cultivators with insufficient talent also had low cultivations and could not withstand his conquests.

There are not many exquisitely beautiful female cultivators with Fifth or Fourth Grade talent in the Daqian Empire, and many of them have already been taken into Han Mansion and The Li Manor. As for Third Grade talented beauties, Han Li had yet to encounter one.

Lu Tianxiang, Bai Keqing, and Long Yue, although all have talents of Third Grade and above, are not native female cultivators of the Daqian Empire; Long Yue is barely considered a half-native.

His gaze was now set across the entire Xuan Domain, thus, the number of potential wives and concubines he could take in instantly skyrocketed, leaving the beautiful female cultivators below Fifth Grade talent in the Daqian Empire for his descendants.

The Daqian Empire once held a nearly ten-million-li territory. Since the situation collapsed, huge swathes of land were lost, leaving it with merely three to four million li of territory now.

The Xuan Domain is vast, spanning over five hundred million li. The current territory of the Daqian Empire doesn't even make up one percent of the Xuan Domain, and its strength ranks as the weakest among the nine major powers in the Xuan Domain.

Despite Fengbo Pavilion having even less territory than the Daqian Empire and only guarded by Emperor Wu at the early stage of the True Martial Realm, no one believes the Daqian Empire to be stronger than Fengbo Pavilion.

The mysterious forces behind Fengbo Pavilion have now been revealed, known to be the strongest force in the Chaotic Domain, Emperor Mingtian.

Backed by Emperor Mingtian, Fengbo Pavilion may not compare to Qitian Teaching, Kurong Sect, Yinyang Sect, or the Ancient Empire, but their foundation is stronger than the Da Liang Empire, Da Jing Empire, Emperor Wu's City, and the Daqian Empire.

Several years ago, when Emperor Mingtian came to the forefront, it shocked the entire Chaotic Domain and Qianyuan Divine Province, causing a great uproar, with reactions varying among the different powers.

Emperor Mingtian, a force from the East Sea within the Divine Yuan Realm, had somehow infiltrated the Chaotic Domain, controlling a third of its territory and subduing countless powers, becoming the preeminent force in the Chaotic Domain. Even the gates of Emperor Mingtian moved from the East Sea to the Chaotic Domain.

Various powers speculated that Emperor Mingtian's decision to reveal itself might have been at the behest of the Four Great Sacred Lands. Since that revelation, Emperor Mingtian ceased its expansion, and the powers understood why Emperor Mingtian would intervene in the Daqian Empire's affairs.

Under the constraints of the Four Great Sacred Lands, Emperor Mingtian could no longer expand in the Chaotic Domain. The territories ruled by Emperor Mingtian quieted down over the years, no longer in disarray. Other parts of the Chaotic Domain remained as before, but many powers felt an urgency, worried about the emergence of another top-tier force like Emperor Mingtian.

At the same time, the Heaven Lord of Emperor Mingtian announced that they would head to the Xuan Domain to jointly face its crisis. Powers speculated this might also be a demand of the Four Great Sacred Lands, as part of a deal allowing Emperor Mingtian to move its base to the Chaotic Domain and officially step onto the stage of the Divine Continent.

Han Li had long been aware of these developments, but he paid them no mind. To the countless powers, Emperor Mingtian might be a leviathan, immovable, but to the Sacred Lands, it was insignificant.

To Han Li, it was the same. If they chose not to obey, Han Li wouldn't hesitate to annihilate Emperor Mingtian entirely.

His stature now matched that of Bai Yujing, Xumi Mountain, Myriad Demon Mountain, and other Sacred Lands. He harbored only a slight wariness, and once his power further increased, the structures of power within the Qianyuan Divine Province would be redrawn.

By then, he would be the foremost power, and the Great Sacred Lands would only occupy the second tier.
