But he did not.

Sometimes, Han Li would think about robbing them, snatching the Top-grade Spirit Stones, Spirit Crystals, and Spirit Sources, but ultimately, he gave up the idea.

Though Top-grade Spirit Stones were not as good as Spirit Crystals or Spirit Sources, their possessors were at least in the True Martial Realm. Moreover, there weren’t many forces in the True Martial Realm, and the Daqian Empire had only three to four thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones.

With his strength, Han Li certainly could have stolen them, but that would draw too much attention. If he robbed many True Martial Realm forces, let alone those of the Divine Yuan Realm, the major Sacred Lands would definitely take notice, and that would bring him a great deal of trouble.

Then, he might as well directly rob the Sacred Lands. Surely, there were a vast number of Spirit Crystals in the Sacred Lands, and perhaps there were even Spirit Sources left from the Ancient Era, along with various divine waters.

But that was just a thought. Although he possessed a Top-grade Emperor Weapon, making him almost invincible in the Qianyuan Divine Province, it was only “almost”, assuming that no Immortal Artifacts were involved.

If he were to raid the Sacred Lands, their Immortal Artifacts would definitely awaken autonomously. At that point, he wouldn’t be able to withstand them. If he were a Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor wielding the Void Bell, a Top-grade Emperor Weapon, then he might have a chance.

Without full confidence, Han Li preferred not to offend the various Sacred Lands for no good reason. It was one thing to capture a few cultivators from the Sacred Lands, but to forcefully invade and attempt to steal their foundations would be to make mortal enemies of them.

After all, Han Mansion didn’t need the Nine Tribulations Holy Lotus for the time being, so they could wait for it to mature naturally. When his beloved wives, concubines, and descendants reached the Saint of the Saint Abyss Realm, if the Nine Tribulations Holy Lotus hadn’t matured by then, they would simply hasten its growth.

Han Li could take or leave the Nine Tribulations Holy Lotus for himself, as he preferred to reserve it for his beloved wives, concubines, and descendants, not needing it for his own rapid advancement.

Of course, if an exceptional situation arose, like a powerful enemy attacking and his cultivation not being sufficient, Han Li would not hesitate to use it directly.

After sighing, Han Li looked at Kui Yi, the Mythical Beast Kui Ox, and instructed, “Kui Yi, you must guard the Nine Tribulations Holy Lotus well. Once it matures, I will reward you with one of its Nine Tribulations seeds.”

“Master, rest assured. Kui Yi vows to defend the Nine Tribulations Holy Lotus to the death. Apart from the master, if any other being approaches with ill intentions and without master’s permission, Kui Yi will immediately eliminate them,” Kui Yi excitedly declared.

Han Li nodded and then vanished from Zaidao Peak.

Kui Yi was a product of the System and was absolutely loyal to him, but Han Li knew it was still necessary to offer it some incentives to prevent it from becoming complacent and allowing the Nine Tribulations Holy Lotus to be stolen.

However, Han Li believed such an event was highly unlikely. Chengsheng Mountain was protected by a super Formation, which was Han Mansion’s new Guardian Formation.

The new Guardian Formation, named the Nine Exterminations Abyss Formation, was of Divine Rank Top Grade, at the level of the Saint Abyss Realm. With this Divine Grade Formation guarding the place, ordinary Saints of the Saint Abyss Realm could not break through.

The Heaven Rank Formation acquired from the Da Qian Empire was still in place, continuously protecting Chengsheng Mountain. The Nine Exterminations Abyss Formation, however, was kept inactive and would only be triggered at critical moments.

Han Li wished he could keep it active at all times, but the foundation was simply insufficient. A Formation at the level of the Saint Abyss Realm consumed too much energy, primarily relying on Spirit Crystals or even Spirit Sources, which Han Li did not have.

The spiritual energy density in Chengsheng Mountain, Yonchang Manor, and even Yuanzhou was not high, relying solely on the self-sustaining absorption of spiritual energy by the Nine Exterminations Abyss Formation would not work.

While Han Mansion possessed the Nine Exterminations Abyss Formation, The Li Manor also had a Divine Grade Formation, of the same grade, called the Four Phases World Suppressing Formation. Its operational mechanism was the same as Han Mansion’s, not to be activated unless it was a critical moment.

After leaving Zaidao Peak, Han Li’s silhouette appeared in the sleeping chamber at Chengdao Peak.

To his surprise, Long Yue, the Dragon Princess, was not there. A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed that Long Yue had, at some point, gone up to the summit of Chengdao Peak.

Han Li had sealed her cultivation, but for the sake of combat, he had not sealed her physical body. Only with an unsealed body could she engage in unfettered combat. Otherwise, how could the fragile Dragon Princess withstand his body comparable to that of a powerful being from the Tongxuan Realm?

This morning, when departing, Han Li had not sealed the Dragon Princess’s body either. With Kui Yi constantly monitoring the two manors, if Long Yue had any thoughts of mischief, Kui Yi would suppress her in an instant.

The next moment, Han Li appeared beside Long Yue. Seeing Han Li, Long Yue couldn’t help but shudder.

This bastard was not as she had thought. Yesterday, she assumed Han Li would give up or wait a while before coupling with her. She didn’t expect him to swiftly take action.

Remembering last night’s events, Long Yue felt such hatred she gritted her teeth, yet her expression remained indifferent, deliberately putting on this facade.

“Dragon Princess, didn’t this old ancestor please you greatly last night?”

Looking at her ice-cold, beautiful face, Han Li let out a sneer, initially thinking Long Yue was seriously indifferent, but her body was too honest.

A mouth can lie, but the body does not!

Long Yue’s pupils contracted slightly, then immediately returned to her calm, indifferent expression, and coldly said, “Not that great.”

“Is that so?”

A sly smile appeared on Han Li’s face as he exerted his powerful aura to control Long Yue, carrying her back to the sleeping chamber.

The Old Ancestor Han Li embarked on another dragon-subduing journey, ultimately becoming a Dragon Knight.

Two hours later, Han Li and Long Yue returned to the summit of Chengdao Peak.

“How about it?”

Han Li looked at Long Yue with an air suggesting he was ready for another round.

Long Yue’s mouth twitched slightly, resigning herself to say, “It was alright.”

She knew that if she spoke sarcastically again, this bastard would surely want one more time.

Old Ancestor Han Li raised an eyebrow and once again unleashed his aura, carrying Long Yue back to the sleeping chamber for a third dragon-subduing journey.
