Which of the Divine Weapons or Emperor Level weapons should be given the third Creation Stone?
In his possession were many powerful instruments, including Top Grade Divine Weapons like the Sky God War Chariot, Yuan Refining Furnace, Nine Mysterious Heavenly Knife, and so on, Supreme Grade Divine Weapons like the Dao Decapitating Sword and Heavenly Moon Wheel, as well as five or six Lower and Middle Grade Emperor weapons like the Cangdao Hall, Combat Tower, and Square Sky Halberd.
The Chengdao Vial and Chengdao Sword, already Top Grade items at the Emperor Level, could also use a Creation Stone to ascend to Supreme Grade.
After some consideration, Han Li decided to bestow the Creation Stone upon the Dao Decapitating Sword.
Once his exchange of Daoist teachings with Lu Qingxuan had concluded, Han Li made his way to the summit of Chengdao Peak, summoned the Dao Decapitating Sword, and handed the Creation Stone to JianJi.
JianJi was ecstatic, and after refining the Creation Stone, she successfully elevated the Dao Decapitating Sword to a Supreme Grade Emperor weapon.
The evolved Emperor weapon underwent a significant transformation, taking the form of an unrivaled beauty of striking elegance, who shyly and timidly took the initiative to offer repayment for her master’s great kindness.
For such matters, Han Li had always been accommodating, swiftly and decisively carrying out the action.
With an additional Supreme Grade Emperor weapon on Chengsheng Mountain, it was indeed a cause for celebration. Han Li decided to treat himself to a cream puff.
It was only when the cream puff burst open, its cream continuously flowing out, that Han Li finally felt satisfied.
……
Daqian Empire, Capital City.
Mingyu Palace.
The Mingyu Palace had a vast rear garden, flourishing with clusters of flowers in full bloom, a dazzling array of colors, and overwhelmingly beautiful.
Two figures sat there, enjoying tea and admiring the flowers. One was Emperor Qian, and the other was his older sister, Princess Chu Mengyao.
“Little sister, have you made up your mind?” Emperor Qian set down his teacup, looking forward with anticipation.
With Chu Mengyao, Emperor Qian always played the emotional card, never putting on airs, hoping only for the Princess to have a change of heart.
Chu Mengyao sipped her Spiritual Tea calmly, giving Emperor Qian a deep look before speaking,
“You’ve changed.”
In her memory, her brother wasn’t like this. Although he was supported to assume the throne, serving as a puppet, he did so willingly, striving to strengthen the empire together.
Previously, Emperor Qian was a person of integrity and courage, upright and unyielding. As the Crown Prince of the Daqian Empire, although he wasn’t as talented as Prince Wu’an, the Ninth Prince, his character was superior.
Now, in order to curry favor with Emperor Wu, not only did Emperor Qian constantly supply women, but he even set his sights on her, the Prince Wu’an’s wife, and the Empress, drastically disappointing her.
Among them, one was his younger sister, one was his sister-in-law, and one was his queen.
She often pondered why Emperor Qian had become like this.
“I had to change,” Emperor Qian sighed, his expression tinged with sorrow.
For the sake of sustaining the Qian Dynasty, he had exhausted himself, desiring only a closer relationship with the Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain.
Not to mention recovering lost territories through the intervention of the Han Mansion’s ancestor, it was essential that the ancestor continued to support the Qian Dynasty for another four hundred years.
Without Han Li’s support, the Qian Dynasty would perish overnight.
If the Zhenxiong Ancestor and the late emperor were still here, if Prince Wu’an had broken through to the True Martial Realm, then Emperor Qian would rather not bear the title of Emperor Qian, nor carry such a heavy burden.
Each day was an agony for him.
Suddenly, Princess Chu Mengyao said, “I’ve agreed to this matter, but let’s not involve Zhi Lan and Jun Er.”
Chu Mengyao felt a sense of helplessness in her heart; the situation compelled her, and she could only comply. Who could blame her for being the Princess of the Qian Dynasty and the optimal candidate?
When she had first broken through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, becoming a Great Grandmaster, Chu Mengyao was full of spirit and resolve, believing she could ascend to the rank of a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu before the alliance term ended.
Thus, she rejected Emperor Qian’s request, unwilling to marry into the Han Mansion and bind herself to Han Li.
Emperor Qian did not make things difficult for her, but instead offered various forms of support. The Qian Dynasty’s precious medicines and rare resources were made available to her, as Emperor Qian also wanted to see if she could truly soar.
Unfortunately, reality delivered a harsh blow to Chu Mengyao. After so many years and numerous supplementary resources, she barely managed to cultivate to the second layer of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, with the prospect of advancing to the True Martial Realm remaining distant.
After much deliberation, Chu Mengyao ultimately conceded.
She decided to go to the Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain, taking advantage of its resources to hasten her cultivation. Once she broke through to the True Martial Realm, having a say in matters would allow her to start cultivating talents for the Qian Dynasty, ensuring a future lineage.
“Since you’ve agreed, that’s good.”
Emperor Qian was overjoyed, relieved, and promptly assured, “Rest assured, if the old ancestor of the Han Mansion has no demands, I will not force them any further.”
If possible, he would not wish to do so either.
Emperor Qian had always made a point of initiating diplomatic engagements with Princess Chu Mengyao, harboring this mindset.
“Sigh,” Princess Chu Mengyao sighed.
To avoid a reunion with Zhi Lan and Jun Er at the Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain, she would have to marry and make an effort to dissuade Han Li from such notions.
That day, Han Li received the message from Emperor Qian and was somewhat surprised.
He was aware that the Qian Dynasty had a Princess; she was one of the candidates being considered for marriage. But Princess Chu Mengyao was unwilling, and Han Li had not insisted.
A mere Third Grade talent and a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm wasn’t worth Han Li personally intervening, given his lofty standards.
Now that Princess Chu Mengyao had compromised and was willing to marry, Han Li would not refuse, but his anticipation was not as strong.
Seven days later, a vast procession arrived at Chengsheng Mountain from the Capital City of the Daqian Empire, none other than the Qian Dynasty’s wedding entourage.
