He himself adhered to most of these principles, such as hiding his sharpness, concealing his wisdom, preserving his body, seeking truth, and speaking cautiously, among others.

After decades of dedicated research in these areas, he had become quite proficient.

He even practiced part of abstaining from desires and regulating emotions. Abstaining from desires did not mean eliminating all desires, and regulating emotions was not about becoming emotionless, but about controlling greed, lust, and the other six desires, and mastering one’s own happiness, anger, sadness, and joy.

As for being charitable? Han Li remained noncommittal. He often acted kindly towards others, had his own set of moral standards, and defined goodness in his own terms.

“Master, your disciple shall take his leave.”

Han Li bowed ninety degrees to Gongsun Yun, then turned and left the mountain without looking back.

Watching the departing, upright figure, Gongsun Yun sighed softly. He had done and said all that was necessary. Whether Tianxuan Mountain would survive the impending calamity was now a matter of making the best effort and leaving the rest to fate.

Once he left Tianxuan Mountain, Han Li flew to a sparsely populated area before he started to use the Step Booster Technique, crossing thousands of miles in a single step, heading towards Lingjun City.

The straight-line distance between Lingjun City and Tianxuan Mountain was over two hundred thousand miles. It used to take him a long time to fly there, but with the Step Booster Technique at the perfected level, it was a matter of two hundred steps and wouldn’t take much time at all.

Huozhou City, Royal Manor.

Prince Wu’an was fishing by a pond. There was neither a hook nor a line on his fishing rod, yet he was able to catch fish.

“Marvelous.”

The middle-aged scholar dressed in a blue scholar’s robe clapped his hands in applause.

After fishing for a while longer, Prince Wu’an put the fishing rod aside and asked unhurriedly, “How goes the plan?”

The middle-aged scholar put down his book and replied seriously, “Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong have already carried out your plan. The result will emerge within the month.”

Prince Wu’an picked up the fishing rod again, sitting like an old fisherman with patience to spare.

Eradicating the remnants of the White Lotus Cult was a minor matter to him. He was only concerned about two major issues: one was the opportunity to ascend to the True Martial Realm, and the other was when the mysterious forces stirring troubles in the Daqian Empire would make their next move.

The middle-aged scholar picked up his book and continued to read, a playful smile appearing on his face. If one took a closer look, they would notice three big characters on the cover of the book.

Chaotic Domain.

Deep underground in a mountain range spanning tens of thousands of miles.

“Prince Wu’an has gone to Huozhou to intimidate the Sanzhou region; it will be difficult for little Tianxiang.”

“Should we offer her some support?”

“Little Tianxiang is already a Grandmaster Wanxiang; she naturally cannot be discarded at will.”

“No rush. Prince Wu’an has other objectives in Sanzhou and won’t take action against little Tianxiang personally. Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong are not her match,” someone else said.

“Other objectives? Prince Wu’an is already at the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. It’s rumored that he could step into the True Martial Realm at any moment, but he has always been suppressing the breakthrough. Could there be a chance in Sanzhou?”

“Hehe, Prince Wu’an dreams of condensing a Third Grade True Elixir, which is wishful thinking… They will intervene,” said another voice.

Voice after voice rose continuously, revealing an incisive understanding of the situation within the Xuan Domain Great Qian Dynasty, and even Prince Wu’an’s motives were crystal clear to them.

Leizhou, Fengyang Manor.

On a five-thousand-zhang-tall mountain, Yun Miaoyi, scantily clad, displayed her fiery physique with much of her pale skin exposed. She sat on a large rock, idly swinging her crystal-clear bare feet.

This was a necessary passageway from Tianxuan Mountain back to Fengyang Manor. Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi had been guarding this place for almost a year, just waiting for Han Li to return to Lingjun City from Tianxuan Mountain.

Both women were cultivators in the God Refining Realm, with spiritual senses that could cover a hundred miles around, constantly monitoring a vast area. Nothing could escape their notice, and they took turns keeping watch.

They had purchased the latest intelligence on Han Li, knowing that he had been taken in as a head disciple by the Sect Leader of Tianxuan Mountain, Gongsun Yun. It was obvious that he would be given a wealth of resources and treasures.

However, the two women were not the least bit afraid. What could a Gangyuan Realm cultivator do with even the most formidable treasures to escape their grasp?

They were both the favored daughters of their respective sects, endowed with numerous treasures and having practiced their sects’ ultimate techniques. Their strength was not something ordinary God Refining Realm cultivators could match.

“Hey, Jiang Baiye, how much longer until Han Li will be back in Lingjun City?

Could it be that he won’t return?”

After enduring for two hours, Yun Miaoyi couldn’t hold it in any longer and shouted at Jiang Baiye, who was sitting behind her with closed eyes in deep meditation.

Jiang Baiye reluctantly opened her eyes, thoroughly annoyed with Yun Miaoyi, but she couldn’t pretend not to hear, or else Yun Miaoyi would disturb her with a spiritual sense transmission.

“Let’s wait another year. If Han Li doesn’t return by then, we’ll take his entire family,” Jiang Baiye said, then closed her eyes again.

They already knew the reason why Tianxuan Mountain was recalling its disciples, so they were sure that Han Li would return to Lingjun City.

But if Han Li stayed hidden in Tianxuan Mountain and delayed his return, then she would have to do things against her will. She must retrieve the Body-Cultivating Furnace, or else the Canghai Sect would find it difficult to survive this calamity.

Considering how much Han Li cared for his concubines and descendants, if he knew that Han Mansion was in trouble, he would likely rush back immediately. “A year is too long, half a year, at most half a year,”

Yun Miaoyi muttered, but realized that Jiang Baiye wasn’t paying her any attention. Yun Miaoyi didn’t care; she would wait for half a year.

She didn’t have the patience to continue accompanying Jiang the little girl in lying in wait, like guarding a tree stump waiting for rabbits.

One hundred and eighty miles away, a figure stood tall against the sky, furrowing his brow as he looked ahead.

This person was Han Li, returning from Tianxuan Mountain.

Even with the Step Booster Technique, which allowed him to cover thousands of miles in one step, and made traveling very fast, Han Li was still cautious, spreading his spiritual sense along the way to avoid any possible ambush by powerful beings.

With his speed, even if he couldn’t win, he could still escape. The perfected level of his Step Booster Technique allowed him to travel at speeds comparable to an ordinary Grandmaster Wanxiang.

The moment he stepped to this location, as he extended his spiritual sense over the area, he saw two stunning figures on a distant mountain and heard their conversation.

These two beautiful women in the God Refining Realm were actually waiting for him, and it seemed they had been waiting for quite a while.

“As expected, an ambush,”

Han Li muttered to himself. He was just being cautious, but now it seemed there really were people lying in wait for him.

If it weren’t for some fortuitous opportunities he had gained at Tianxuan Mountain, which allowed him to also advance to the God Refining Realm, he would likely have fallen into their hands.

Han Li studied the appearances of the two women carefully, realizing he didn’t recognize them, which puzzled him.

Why would they ambush him without any reason?

And they said that if they couldn’t find him, they would capture his entire family. Clearly, the two women knew a lot about him, including his weaknesses.

Was it the Hehuan Sect acting on the news of Cui Pingyu’s death at his hands, sending someone to assassinate him?

Han Li shook his head; the sultry one looked like a demoness who practiced Devil Cultivation Techniques, but the other one was definitely not from the

Hehuan Sect.

If the Hehuan Sect really found out, they wouldn’t be so courteous, and would have already attacked Lingjun City, destroying the Han Family by now.

The Rebirth Pill formula leaked? The news that he has the Body-Cultivating Furnace? The Daqian National Teacher learned that the Lin family’s remaining members had become his concubines?

After some thought, Han Li concluded that only these matters could bring him such trouble, with the last possibility being very slim, for the same reason as the Hehuan Sect.

Han Li took a long look ahead, then turned and detoured, deciding to avoid the two women and return to Lingjun City first.

For him, it was just a matter of taking an extra step. He would return and plan carefully. Whether it was the Rebirth Pill formula or the Body-Cultivating Furnace, both were of great importance.

He was not confident in taking down the two God Refining Realm women. Since they dared to ambush him, they likely had more than simple tricks up their sleeves.

He preferred to make plans and act later, minimizing risk. After all, he had at least half a year’s time.
