Chapter 340: Chapter 188: Xiangxiang Advances to the True Martial Realm! The Effects of the Life-Prolonging Furnace! Traps in the Immortal Scripture Begin to Emerge! Xue Yueqing Sets Out_1

Chengsheng Mountain, Han Mansion.

Han Li was admiring the scenery at the summit of Chengdao Peak with Yao Xi, their closeness as newlyweds evident in their loving exchanges and tender affection.

Han Li was unaware that marrying Yao Xi and obtaining her prime Yin essence had enraged the Great Empress Fengyue, who ruled lands billions of miles away. The empress had even dispatched a female saint from the Saint Abyss Realm to capture him.

At the moment, he was contemplating Yao Xi’s situation. When she lost her virginity, the seal loosened momentarily before Han Li instantly reinforced it again.

This, however, triggered a significant incident, including the flood of many memories containing a wealth of cultivation techniques, martial skills, secret methods, and cultivation experiences, and so on.

As a result, Yao Xi’s divine spirit became even more powerful, and her mental strength was incredibly formidable, comparable to a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Han Li was pondering whether to continue suppressing Yao Xi’s realm or to let her formally embark on the path of cultivation.

As a reborn powerhouse, Yao Xi would have an astonishingly fast cultivation progress. For instance, Long Yue, a reborn strong entity, reached the seventh level of the True Martial Realm in just over a hundred years and was estimated to break through to the Divine Yuan Realm by the age of two hundred.

If Yao Xi was a formidable entity from the Tongxuan Realm in her previous life, then her cultivation speed would be markedly slower than Long Yue’s but still many times faster than that of those genius cultivators.

Should Yao Xi’s past life have been that of a saint from the Saint Abyss Realm, her speed would probably be similar to Long Yue’s. If she had been a Great Emperor from the Heaven Imperial Realm, or even a Heavenly Immortal, her cultivation speed would be even faster.

If Yao Xi’s former life was that of the Tongxuan Realm or the Saint Abyss Realm, Han Li would not fear. However, if she had been from the Heaven Imperial Realm or even a Heavenly Immortal, that could pose some problems.

“Wait a second… Why do I feel that the cultivation speed of reborn strong beings is faster than mine?”

Han Li suddenly froze, realizing that he seemed to be obsessing needlessly over this issue; there was no need for him to worry about it.

Even if Yao Xi’s cultivation speed was fast, could it be faster than his, who was like one with a cheat?

Even if a Great Emperor or Heavenly Immortal were to cultivate anew, it would take at least a thousand years to regain their peak strength.

If a thousand years seems too long, then perhaps five hundred—achieving the status of Great Emperor or Heavenly Immortal in five hundred years would be incredibly against the heavens.

Han Li felt his own cultivation to become a Great Emperor of the Heaven Imperial Realm or a Heavenly Immortal would be even faster, whether three hundred, two hundred, or even one hundred years.

As the realms get higher, more cultivation is required, but his descendants would increase in multitude, causing the rate of cultivation growth to accelerate and possibly counter the obstacles presented by the higher realms.

Having thought it through, Han Li decided to let Yao Xi make her own decision. If she wanted to cultivate, he would assist her; if she preferred not to, he would just let things be.

“Xi Xi, do you want to cultivate?”

Holding the peerless beauty in his arms, Han Li stroked her pink hair and whispered in her ear.

“I’ll do as my husband wishes, teehee~”

Yao Xi chuckled lightheartedly, finally fulfilling her long-held wish these past few days.

After formally marrying Han Li, Yao Xi switched from calling him “brother” to “husband,” something she had longed to do.

The corners of Han Li’s mouth twitched slightly.

He had left the choice to Yao Xi, yet she deferred to his decision, effectively still leaving him to choose.

“Maybe I should cultivate…”

Seeing her husband remain silent, Yao Xi gave it some thought and suggested.

“Xi Xi, how did you come to this decision?”

Han Li was curious. Yao Xi had always been averse to cultivation, even though her abilities would soar upon unlocking her potential.

“Because… because…”

Yao Xi bowed her head, her fair, delicate face instantly blushing red as she stammered, unable to get the words out.

Han Li blinked, guessing her thoughts, and said with a smile, “Is it because your husband’s combat power is too strong and you can’t withstand it?”

He suspected this was the case.

Without cultivation, Yao Xi’s divine spirit was strong, but physically, she could at best match a Great Master of the Gangyuan Realm.

Han Li’s physical strength was comparable to the fourth level of the Tongxuan Realm. Compared to him, Yao Xi was too fragile, delicate, and vulnerable. During combat, Han Li dared not exert too much force and was extremely gentle and considerate in his slow-paced battles with her.

For this reason, Han Li even limited his physical cultivation to the level of the God Refining Realm, just to make the experiences more comfortable for both of them.

Despite this, Yao Xi, new to the experiences of the flesh, couldn’t handle it. Only after a long period of adaptation did she come to accept him.

“It’s not that, I… I… I just think that a higher cultivation level means a longer life, so I could stay by my husband’s side forever.”

Yao Xi retorted with a red face, embarrassed to admit her little scheme had been guessed by her husband.

“Alright, alright.”

Han Li leaned down and captured those tender, blushing lips, and Yao Xi awkwardly responded.

After quite some time, Han Li released her and then closely observed the changes in Yao Xi. He noted that compared to a few days ago, she had become even more enchanting.

Her pink hair shone translucently, naturally falling to her waist, her eyes like gemstone-covered stars—pure, bright, and full of spiritual energy. Her figure was slender and graceful with beauty that could topple states and shame flowers, exuding an otherworldly elegance.

She had fair, crystal-clear skin like mutton-fat jade, with perfectly curving contours, a tranquil and serene demeanor that was angelic, yet also vibrant with youthful vivacity. Just turning around stirred Han Li’s heart.

“Husband~”

Yao Xi sweetly called out, her eyes brimming with bliss as she noticed the affection with which her husband looked at her.

Han Li responded and talked with her about cultivation matters, explaining experiences, even though he knew that her restored memories would contain this knowledge.

The couple cooed for a long time at the mountain summit before Han Li left reluctantly, heading to The Li Manor.

In Jizhou, at Taikang Manor.

Atop a thousand-foot mountain, two young men were drinking, seemingly waiting for something.
