Chapter 605: Chapter 239: The Eternal Great Emperor! Xuxian Realm! Thirty Years of Time! Han Yongting Enters Thousand Soldiers Alley_1
Qianjue Mountain lay in the western part of the Barbarian Region. After leaving Qianjue Mountain, Han Yongting headed southeast.
According to the route, he would diagonally cross the Sword Domain, passing by the House of Divine Armies on the way before reaching Xuan Domain, entering the territory of the Ancient Empire, and finally making his way back to Chengsheng Mountain.
Now, Han Yongting had entered the territory of the Sword Domain.
The Sword Domain was vast, stretching over eight hundred million li from east to west and over seven hundred million li from north to south, covering an area of approximately six billion li, which was much larger than Xuan Domain.
As the territory of the Sacred Land known as the House of Divine Armies, the cultivators within predominantly wielded weapons. Hundreds of types of weapons, such as swords, spears, and halberds, were in use, among which swords, knives, spears, and staves were the most commonly used by cultivators.
In addition to the House of Divine Armies, there were many Divine Yuan Realm and True Martial Realm powers in the Sword Domain, all intricately related to the House of Divine Armies.
Mingjian Mountain Villas, Shushan Sword Sect, Heartless Sword Tomb, Nanyue Sword Pool, and other four major sword schools, Wenxin Sword Sect, and three major knife sects such as Canghai Sword Cult, had two top forces each for spears and staves.
Han Yongting was in no rush to return to Chengsheng Mountain; there was still some time before the next event, which afforded him plenty of opportunity to travel at leisure and broaden his horizons.
To gain the full experience, Han Yongting went to great lengths to change his name and disguise his identity, concealing his cultivation level to blend into this treacherous Cultivation Realm.
Otherwise, bearing the name of Chengsheng Mountain and as the descendant of the Ancient Great Emperor, he would not face any danger at all, which would be too bothersome.
The Ancient Great Emperor was Han Li’s new title.
Ever since the battle in the Barbarian Region seven years ago, when Han Li demonstrated combat ability worthy of the Heaven Imperial Realm, suppressing all challengers beneath the heavens, and becoming an undefeated force throughout Qianyuan Divine Province, he gradually came to be known by the title of Great Emperor.
However, he was not initially called the Ancient Great Emperor, but rather the Romantic Great Emperor, a term that unofficially spread in private circles.
Some even brazenly called him the Emperor of Wives or the Emperor of Concubines. These two titles circulated in a limited scope, mainly because others dared not use them openly.
The moniker of Romantic Great Emperor was somewhat better as it was more subtle. If one were to call him the Emperor of Wives or the Emperor of Concubines, that would be too direct. Didn’t the ancestor of Han Mansion care about his reputation?
If the ancestor of Han Mansion became enraged, the entire Qianyuan Divine Province would run red with blood.
Han Li wasn’t a narrow-minded person, but after taking action only once, he wiped out an entire Divine Yuan Realm Power who dared to secretly bestow upon him some more distasteful, shameful names, which was pushing it too far.
Did they really think that just because he had strength, he would refrain from taking action just to maintain a so-called dignity?
They thought too much!
After descending from the mountain, he had painstakingly laid low for over a hundred years, wasn’t it all so that when he became powerful he could do as he pleased?
To dare to slander him and ruin his good name was simply seeking death.
When Han Li took action, the Qianyuan Divine Province was once again shaken.
From then on, no cultivator, even in private, dared to use any unseemly titles for Han Li; they unanimously referred to him as the Ancient Great Emperor.
The title of Ancient Great Emperor was given by Han Li himself; he coined it casually to prevent others from spreading rumors.
Han Li had lived a clean and honest life, and he wasn’t about to let anyone destroy his good name.
……
Han Yongting visited Mingjian Mountain Villas to appraise famous swords, observed the Demon-Subduing Tower at Shushan Sword Sect, and went to the Wenxin Sword Sect to ask questions at the Wenxin Cliff…
Along the way, Han Yongting visited every illustrious sword school in the Sword Domain. Disguising his identity, he approached as a Loose Cultivator, issuing challenges, discussing the sword with sword sects, comparing knives with knife sects, and competing with spear factions…
Han Yongting only revealed cultivation at the Hollow Void Stage; he took every challenge seriously, keeping his true strength under wraps, hoping to gain insights from these contests and integrate them into his own martial path.
Han Yongting’s challenge was a smooth journey; there were no short-sighted powerhouses who dared to bully the weaker, nor would they dare to do such a thing.
In the past, it was a tradition in Qianyuan Divine Province for cultivators to issue challenges, such as the Third Patriarch of Baiyujing, Lu Zhen, who had often gone to the Sword Domain to issue challenges.
However, it used to be more dangerous. If one made too much of a show of strength, suppressing the sect too harshly, there was a risk of being assassinated.
The descendants of Han Mansion often went out for cultivation trials, issuing challenges here and there, and had encountered several assassination attempts, all of which were turned around on their attackers.
But ever since that battle seven years ago, no sect dared to act in such a manner anymore. The peak of all stars, unable to accept defeat, invoked the colossal presence of Chengsheng Mountain, and the Ancient Great Emperor Han Li arrived, defeating all undefeated forces under the heavens.
Before Han Yongting, many descendants had already emerged from Han Mansion, including Han Li’s children and grandchildren, as well as outstanding individuals from the fourth generation.
These individuals, bearing hidden surnames, were undergoing tribulations throughout the Qianyuan Divine Province and loved issuing challenges. They hardly ever lost, creating an illusion amongst the various forces of the Divine Province.
The assumption was that the waters of Qianyuan Divine Province ran deep: beyond Chengsheng Mountain lay numerous dormant powerful forces and those incredible geniuses were cultivated by these reclusive powers.
For a time, there was a sense that the realm was flourishing with diverse talents vying with each other, as if the Divine Province was teeming with unparalleled prodigies, each one stepping on the various powers to emerge.
Little did they know, all these individuals hailed from Chengsheng Mountain and Han Mansion.
It was Han Li’s intention to have them venture out for cultivation; Qianyuan Divine Province was much like a backyard to Chengsheng Mountain and Han Mansion, where cultivation trials carried no danger.
This was only the first step of cultivation. Once their cultivation reached the True Martial Realm, they could begin the second step of their trials: to travel throughout the entire Endless Yuankun Domain. If they reached the Tongxuan Realm, that would mark the start of the third step of their cultivation journey, allowing them to enter the Xuxian Realm, where they would compete with the geniuses and extraordinary talents from the entire Tai Chu Realm.
