A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 212

Chapter 208 Building a Harem Isn’t Easy (Bonus Chapter 411)

While using the Gold-Eating Insects to gnaw at parts of the restriction, weakening its strength, he

simultaneously created a spatial rift, unleashing power at least at the late Nascent Soul stage.

With this two-pronged approach, the restriction was finally broken.

“Collect!”

Over a hundred Lightning-Absorbing Pearls were obtained.

” Collect!”

Leaves of the Golden Lightning Bamboo, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, were obtained.   ”Collect!

“

Seven large Golden Lightning Bamboo roots were taken, leaving the smaller ones and roots behind. “Collect.   ” The frozen centipede puppet was also collected.   ”Collect.”   Beside the Spirit Eye Spring, at the location of a dragon-head device, Han Li placed an empty bottle. He turned on the dragon-head device, and immediately, dripping water fell into the magical bottle below.   When the last drop fell, Han Li closed the dragon-head device again.   When he picked up the magical bottle, it was already more than half full.   These seemingly ordinary water droplets were none other than the priceless, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk.   These were all the benefits he had gained from entering this room.   Of course, taking benefits without doing anything in return wasn’t enough.   Therefore, he also gained a responsibility.   ”Please rest assured, seniors, since I have taken the goods, I will at least pacify one area of the Demon Abyss in this world for you!”   Before disappearing, Han Li cupped his hands towards the stone wall.   It was unrealistic for him to eliminate all the demonic energy seals in this world by himself; he would need the assistance of some powerful forces.   Furthermore, once he became a great cultivator and possessed the power to roam this world, he would definitely find a way to collect as many Thunder-Absorbing Pearls as possible and then return to this place to rearrange things.   Mentioning Thunder-Absorbing Pearls reminded him of the Thunder Whale Clan.   ”After tens of thousands of years of recuperation, the Thunder Whale Clan should have recovered, right?”   Han Li murmured, stroking his chin.   If the number of Thunder Whales was very small, he would catch a few and feed them plenty of Rainbow Grass.   …   With a flash of teleportation light, Han Li disappeared from the spot.   The stone hall returned to silence.   The Spirit Eye Spring was shrouded in mist and filled with spiritual energy.   From its source, the spring water gushed forth continuously.   On the platform where the Golden Thunder Bamboo had once been cultivated, the roots of the bamboo remained in the soil, and a small, two-inch-long sapling looked vibrant with life.   Ten thousand years later, who knew which lucky individual would be fortunate enough to enter this place and take away a new ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo?   …   A hundred miles away from the Void Heaven Palace, on the vast sea, a man’s figure appeared out of thin air after a flash of white light.   The man had an ordinary appearance; apart from his exceptionally clear eyes, he seemed to possess no other remarkable features.   He was utterly unremarkable.   This man was none other than Han Li, who had just emerged from the fourth level of the Void Heaven Palace’s stone hall.   ”Huh? There’s a divine sense imprint I left on Yuan Yao and Yan Li to the due west!”   After confirming the direction, Han Li suddenly turned his head to look due west:   ”It seems that the two of them went to Lone Goose Island, 300,000 miles away, as agreed beforehand.”   Lone Goose Island is a medium-sized island, about 200 miles in size, in this sea area.   It is occupied by a mid-level sect at the Core Formation stage.   There are spiritual veins on the island, as well as a sect market.   When he entered the Void Heaven Palace secret realm earlier, he made an agreement with the two women that they would go directly to Lone Goose Island to meet after leaving the Void Heaven Palace.   Then, Han Li turned his head again to look southwest:   ”And this way…”   ”There’s another divine sense imprint in this direction!”   The imprint was the one he left on Gan Rushuang.   ”It seems that she also successfully obtained what she wanted and left the Void Heaven Palace.”   He had made an agreement with this woman in the inner hall. That was that after leaving the Void Heaven Palace, she would go directly to another medium-sized island to the southwest of this place and wait for him for a month.   ”This woman didn’t leave with anything, but went to the rendezvous point as agreed, which is quite rare.”   He knew very well what Gan Rushuang could gain.   If she were even a little greedy, she could have run away with the treasures, and once she formed her Nascent Soul, she would have the confidence to fight against other veteran Nascent Soul cultivators.   But Gan Rushuang didn’t do that.   Keeping her promise was commendable.   …   Afterwards, Han Li traveled through the Nine Heavens Gale Layer and arrived at Lonely Goose Island in just half a day.   In a pavilion in the market, his primordial spirit had returned to his body, and when he saw Yuan Yao Yanli, he stepped forward to embrace her.   ”Eh? Yuan Yao, your cultivation level?” Yuan Yao   had only been in the late stage of Core Formation for a few years, and was still far from the peak of the late stage of Core Formation.   However, at this moment, this beauty had actually saved the arduous cultivation time that ordinary late-stage cultivators would take at least a hundred years to accumulate! She had reached the peak of the late stage of Core Formation without making a sound!   Han Li was quite curious about this.   ”Husband, there is a great opportunity in that room…”   The two women then recounted their encounters in the inner stone hall.   Yuan Yao first recounted the story of the Spirit Eye Tree, sealed for countless millennia, and the incredibly pure spiritual energy it had purified for countless millennia.   Thanks to this pure spiritual energy, Yuan Yao’s cultivation not only advanced rapidly, but the purity of her internal mana also surged, and her accompanying spirit insects and beasts advanced as well.   Several of them grew larger, radiating a ferocious aura that reached the level of seventh-level demon beasts.   The seventh-level peak-level Ink Dragon, Icefire Wolf, and two Blood Jade Spiders also benefited greatly. The   demonic power within the four spirit beasts became even purer and more refined.   The demonic cores within the Ink Dragon, the sixth one, and Little Spirit and Little Star, whose foundations were the strongest, had grown significantly.   In other words, the foundations of the three spirit beasts were much stronger, and they might reach the eighth level at any time.   The Icefire Wolf, on the other hand, defied fate and had a chance to break through to the eighth level.   ”Not bad, not bad.”

Han Li took the spirit beast pouch, checked on the spirit beasts, and then confirmed that Yuan Yao was in good condition. He smiled.

This was truly an unexpected delight.

He hadn’t anticipated this gain at all.

Then, Han Li saw a nearly full bottle of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid in the handed storage bag.

He also saw a small bottle containing over three hundred drops of spirit tree essence. And

a spirit eye tree, missing most of its roots and appearing quite withered.

The essence was carefully collected and stored by ancient cultivators using special methods, and like the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid, its spiritual essence was well preserved.

However, that spirit eye tree…

“Where did the other half of the spirit tree’s roots go?”

Han Li looked at Yuan Yao, frowning slightly as he asked.

“Husband, I didn’t bring all the roots of the spirit eye tree out…”

Yuan Yao bit her lip and spoke cautiously,

somewhat worried that the person before her would be angry.

“Tell me, why?”

Han Li asked calmly, not angry at all.

“My lord, with the size of this Spirit Eye Tree, even if half of its roots are lost, it can still survive, only suffering some damage to its vital energy. Planted in a place rich in spiritual energy for three to five hundred years, it will be enough for it to fully recover.”

“As for the half of the roots I left in the stone house in the inner hall, that half will definitely sprout and grow into a new Spirit Eye Tree sapling in two hundred years. Thousands or tens of thousands of years later, a lucky person can replicate the opportunity I enjoyed this time,”

Yuan Yao said truthfully.

Taking advantage of any benefit is something any cultivator would do.

But leaving nothing behind is not Yuan Yao’s style.

“Before you left, you didn’t add another layer of Spirit Binding Array to the damaged formation, did you?”

“Yes, I tried my best to set up a Spirit Binding Array,”

Yuan Yao nodded.

The Spirit Eye Spring continuously generated spiritual energy.

The Spirit Eye Tree continuously purified the spiritual energy drifting from the direction of the spring.

Furthermore, the Spirit-Binding Array is responsible for imprisoning and restraining the pure spiritual energy to prevent its loss.

And as long as the Void Heaven Palace operates without problems

, and given enough time,

it is indeed possible to artificially create another great opportunity.

“You’re quite thoughtful,”

Han Li exclaimed.

How could such behavior be criticized?

Not only should it not be blamed, but it should be affirmed.

Otherwise, if the cultivation world were full of those who plundered everything, how could later generations rise up? How could the human race continue its lineage?

If the ancient cultivators like the Ice Soul Fairy had also plundered everything back then, how could he have achieved such a great harvest?

As the saying goes, one should not forget the well-digger

when drinking water. Good traditions should be learned and inherited.

“Husband, aren’t you angry?”

“Why should I be angry?”

Yuan Yao’s ability to maintain a magnanimous attitude while satisfying her own needs was his good fortune.

“But I also have a selfish motive.”

“What selfish motive?”

“If… I mean if, if hundreds of years from now, my husband wants to leave offspring, the children can enjoy this blessed land. Even if he doesn’t need it, his children can. Of course, if no offspring are left, it can become a blessed land for future generations.”

Yuan Yao said.

Han Li fell silent upon hearing this.

…

“Husband, look at this?”

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yan Li quickly took out an ugly, strange tree, a large bottle of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid, and a puppet guard that wasn’t too badly damaged.

The ugly, strange tree, with its charred, rough exterior and pitted surfaces, was none other than the Soul-Nourishing Wood, one of the three great divine trees of the human realm.

Han Li smiled upon seeing this.

This Soul-Nourishing Wood was seven or eight feet long, with roots about a foot long.

The material was plentiful.

As long as it wasn’t for refining a large soul box, these few feet of Soul-Nourishing Wood could be used to refine several soul-nourishing treasures.

For example, several foot-long scrolls could be made.

Not only can it be used to strengthen the main primordial spirit, but it can also be used to cultivate the divided souls.

“What a treasure.”

Seeing that Han Li was no longer concerned about offspring, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.

However,

just after leaving the market, Han Li suddenly spoke up, giving a response:

“You two should focus all your efforts on forming your Nascent Souls first. If you can form your Nascent Souls, your lifespans will greatly increase, and the three of us can accompany each other for at least a thousand years. With a thousand years together, would you still worry about having offspring? If you can’t form your

Nascent Souls, then everything is just empty talk.” “You two need to understand that the more complicated your thoughts are before forming your Nascent Souls, the more dangerous the inner demon barrier will be during the process. Why put yourself through such a difficult task?”

He hadn’t expected that although the two women’s hearts were firm in their cultivation, they still had other thoughts.

This was also his fault. It

was his oversight.

On one hand, Gan Rushuang’s sudden appearance made the two women suddenly have some concerns.

On the other hand, their infrequent meetings had led to other misunderstandings.

After all, Gan Rushuang not only possessed the cultivation of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, but also had a beautiful face that rivaled Yuan Yao’s. More importantly, Gan Rushuang’s Dao heart was far more steadfast than the two women’s, and her apparent talent far surpassed theirs.

If it were only beauty, Gan Rushuang wouldn’t have much of an advantage, but beauty + cultivation + Dao heart + aptitude and potential—that was a decisive factor.

It would be strange if the two women weren’t feeling any pressure.

As for the solution? It’s simple.

Either the two women fully accept Gan Rushuang, and the relationship between the three women becomes closer. Or, one of them is sidelined.

“Sigh, troublesome.”

Building a harem is indeed a difficult thing.

To prevent trouble in the backyard, someone must be able to keep things in check.

Monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, brothers, it’s up to you.

The results are really just average.

The effort and reward are completely disproportionate.

It’s tough.
