His recently taken two beautiful consorts, Fang Yousi and Bi Xinlei, had told him a piece of information of utmost importance concerning Chu Zhenxiong. Han Li was deeply shocked after hearing it and couldn’t discern its truth.
The two demonesses told him that they had accidentally heard a rumor in Myriad Demon Mountain: Da Qian’s founding ancestor, Chu Dingqian, was still alive, having lived a second life through reincarnation.
Han Li didn’t believe it. According to ancient histories, Da Qian’s founding ancestor Chu Dingqian only possessed the abilities of the True Martial Realm, so how could he have reincarnated?
It was well known that only when Cultivators reached the Tongxuan Realm and became great powers could they reincarnate, and even then, success wasn’t guaranteed.
How could Chu Dingqian, a True Martial Realm cultivator, have successfully reincarnated?
Fang Yousi and Bi Xinlei didn’t know the answer either; they had merely come across this rumor by chance, and Han Li didn’t pursue it any further.
However, upon seeing Chu Zhenxiong, Han Li’s thoughts grew active, and he pondered over the rumor again.
If Da Qian’s founding ancestor Chu Dingqian was truly still alive, then he must have used some method unknown to him to reincarnate.
According to the rumor heard by the two women, Chu Dingqian was currently living his second life, and theoretically, he should have cultivated to the True Martial Realm by now.
In Da Qian, there were only two True Martial Realm powerhouses: one was Emperor Wu Chu Wuji, and the other was the ancestor Chu Zhenxiong. Exactly who was Chu Dingqian in his second life?
Han Li believed that if Chu Dingqian truly lived a second life, it was more likely to be Chu Zhenxiong than Chu Wuji, who died so swiftly. T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.co/m
With Chu Dingqian’s strategies and depth, it was unlikely he would take risks to fight for the Dragon Ball; more likely, he’d be seated at the helm, waiting for the outcome.
Is Chu Dingqian’s second life Chu Zhenxiong?
Han Li felt there was another possibility: that Chu Zhenxiong was not Chu Dingqian’s second life, and Chu Dingqian’s second life was another True Martial Realm powerhouse, currently hidden deep within the Daqian Palace.
Yet this possibility seemed slim; with just three thousand years of the nation’s history, it was unlikely that there would be three True Martial Realm existences at the same time, with one more possessing True Martial Realm combat ability.
Moreover, if Chu Dingqian’s second life were another True Martial Realm person, he could stabilize Da Qian’s situation just by coming forward now, with the world unaware of his true identity.
Chu Zhenxiong wouldn’t have been so anxious, and Han Li seriously considered the conditions he agreed to with gritted teeth.
Is it you, young Qianzi?
Han Li wanted to ask Chu Zhenxiong this question, but he restrained himself; it would be too risky, practically courting death.
If Chu Dingqian’s second life truly was Chu Zhenxiong, it would be a stunning revelation, a True Martial Realm existence capable of reincarnation – who would dare to believe it? It would unquestionably cause an uproar in the Xuan Domain and even the Qianyuan Divine Province.
The True Martial Realm Emperor Wus and even those in the Divine Yuan Realm would probably flock here, eager to seize Chu Dingqian’s extraordinary method of reincarnation.
Chu Zhenxiong would certainly not allow such news to spread; the best method would be to kill the witness, to eliminate Li Feiyu, who had guessed his identity.
“I thought I wore a disguise, but perhaps you have worn one too,” Han Li muttered to himself.
In Chu Zhenxiong’s eyes, Han Li was Li Feiyu, while in Han Li’s eyes, Chu Zhenxiong might be Chu Dingqian, although this had yet to be confirmed.
Then Han Li thought of something else: assuming Chu Zhenxiong was indeed Chu Dingqian’s second life, with Chu Zhenxiong’s end drawing near, was he considering going against fate and living a third life?
Han Li suppressed the shock in his heart and conversed with Chu Zhenxiong without revealing anything on the surface, while internally calculating the likelihood of his theory.
Based on previous conjecture, if Chu Dingqian truly lived a second life and became Chu Zhenxiong, it was possible that he might reincarnate again, preparing to live a third life.
When Chu Dingqian returned reborn, nobody would know that a certain True Martial Realm powerhouse was Chu Dingqian; in the eyes of the outside world, Chu Dingqian would be a brand-new True Martial Realm Emperor Wu.
The more Han Li thought about it, the likelier it seemed. Chu Zhenxiong’s agreement to his outrageous conditions, requesting he defend Da Qian for four hundred years, was very likely due to this reason.
Previously Han Li had guessed that Chu Zhenxiong wanted to buy time for the talent of the Da Qian Royalty to grow and reach the True Martial Realm. Now, it seemed that Chu Zhenxiong was likely buying time for himself.
“Chu Zhenxiong is actually confident he can cultivate to the True Martial Realm within four hundred years!” Han Li was quite astonished. If all his previous speculations were true, Chu Zhenxiong was indeed formidable.
A Third Grade genius would need about six hundred years to cultivate to the True Martial Realm. Chu Zhenxiong had cut it down by two hundred years, and that was a conservative estimate; it might only be three hundred years.
Han Li didn’t believe that with Chu Dingqian’s cunning, he would just happen to leave a window of four hundred years.
Could it be because of the Soul-Cultivating Furnace?
A thought struck Han Li, and he suddenly remembered the Soul-Cultivating Furnace. The Body-Cultivating Furnace he possessed might be a secondary replica, capable of accelerating cultivation speed, and the Soul-Cultivating Furnace was of a much higher grade than his Body-Cultivating Furnace; it might significantly increase the speed of cultivation.
Chu Dingqian continued conversing with Li Feiyu, oblivious to the fact that Han Li was close to seeing through him.
“Cultivator Li, this is what you need. Please verify it.”
With that, Chu Dingqian handed over a Spatial Bracelet to Li Feiyu.
With a slight bend of his finger, the Spatial Bracelet flew into his hand. Han Li’s Spiritual Sense swept through it and found the space inside to be vast.
Laid within the Spatial Ring were numerous treasures, with one corner piled high with Spirit Stones, divided into two heaps.
The smaller pile contained a thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, and the larger held nine hundred and fifty thousand Top Quality Spirit Stones, making Han Li’s eyes nearly pop out.
This was well over a hundred billion Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Han Li had never seen so many Spirit Stones before, making him feel like he had become instantly wealthy.
