Chapter 288 - 179: Divine Yuan Realm Combat Ability! Killing Chu Dingqian! The Life-Prolonging Furnace Emerges! Five Great Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors!_6
Han Li put away his Spatial Bracelet and thought back to the memories he saw when he searched Chu Dingqian’s soul. He sighed.
Chu Dingqian, too, had great fortune. His adventures never ceased, and he rose from a seventh-grade slave to finally cultivate to the True Martial Realm, splitting the Da Jing dynasty and shaking the Xuan Domain.
Using the Demonic Fetus Technique, Chu Dingqian had even managed to live a second life, truly an astounding genius. If given time, he might have even lived a third, a fourth… like this, the chances of cultivating to the Divine Yuan Realm and the Tongxuan Realm would have grown higher and higher.
It was a pity Chu Dingqian met him and was ended by him, with most of his three thousand years’ accumulation falling into Han Li’s hands.
“What a Demonic Fetus Technique, it’s a pity it’s incomplete,” Han Li marveled as he pondered over the content of the technique, his face showing a look of admiration.
The cultivator who created this technique was a remarkable genius with extraordinary comprehension abilities. To think that he could invent such an against-the-heavens technique, Han Li couldn’t help but admire him.
Even an incomplete version of the Demonic Fetus Technique was of a Divine Rank Lower Grade. How strong would the complete version be?
Han Li felt it would be at least an Immortal Scripture, likely even more powerful than the complete version of the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture that Lu Tianxiang had, which was only Heaven Rank Lower Grade.
This was the first Divine Rank Practice Han Li had acquired, and he decided to take the opportunity to study it, to try planting a Devil Foetus as a precaution for the future.
The Devil Foetus Host must be meticulously selected, with the best aptitude, comprehension, and so on, so as to have a high starting point.
If an accident were to happen to him in the future, he could then reincarnate through devil fetus possession.
Han Li didn’t think he was invincible. The world was too dangerous, with the area beyond Qianyuan Divine Province vast, and countless stronger individuals around. Even a Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperor would not suffice.
It was always good to have backup plans.
After contemplating for a while, Han Li couldn’t think of a suitable host. Should he raise a descendant like Chu Dingqian did to be the Devil Foetus Host?
After thinking it over, he decided against it. He felt some things weren’t right, and his biggest concern was the destruction of Han Mansion along with him, with all his beloved wives, concubines, and descendants unable to escape.
Thus, it was best to secretly cultivate an exceptional genius as the Devil Foetus Host, someone seemingly unrelated to him on the surface, so in case of an emergency, he could directly transmigrate and let enemies believe he was truly dead.
Then he could reclaim his legacy in a new identity, instead of letting all his efforts turn to ashes.
He sighed, putting the thought aside for now, deciding to mull it over later. There was still plenty of time.
With a flip of his hand, a small furnace appeared in Han Li’s right hand, palm-sized with runes inscribed both inside and out, emanating a powerful presence.
True Yuan surged in, and he quickly refined the Soul-Cultivating Furnace.
“As expected of a Heaven Rank Supreme Grade magical treasure, its power is indeed outstanding.”
After sensing the formidable power of the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, Han Li’s face lit up with surprise. It was the first Heaven Rank Supreme Grade treasure he had acquired. Although it could not compare to the Lower Grade Divine Weapon of the Chongming Palace, it was still powerfully impressive.
A Heaven Rank Supreme Grade treasure is a pinnacle Divine Yuan Realm weapon. With his current True Yuan reserves, he could activate seventy to eighty percent of the Soul-Cultivating Furnace’s power, unleashing the might comparable to the third level of Divine Yuan Realm, which was a vast improvement over Chu Dingqian’s usage.
Similar to the Body-Cultivating Furnace, the offensive power of the Soul-Cultivating Furnace was just an added feature, and even so, it was very strong. If fully activated, it could certainly have mid Divine Yuan Realm combat ability.
After a thorough exploration, Han Li claimed the Soul-Cultivating Furnace as his treasure. As the name suggests, the Body-Cultivating Furnace targeted the physical body, while the Soul-Cultivating Furnace was meant for the Divine Spirit. The functionalities of the Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Soul-Cultivating Furnace were many times stronger than those of the Body-Cultivating Furnace.
“It’s time.”
He murmured to himself, then Han Li’s figure vanished from The Li Manor, returning to Chengsheng Mountain.
He materialized at Chengdao Peak, before a massive furnace—the Body-Cultivating Furnace.
Ever since The Han Mansion upgraded the Mountain Protection Array, Han Li had placed the Body-Cultivating Furnace here. This treasure was to be exchanged with the Canghai Sect, and not many years remained of the ten-year agreement.
Now that he had acquired the better Soul-Cultivating Furnace, and he was about to receive the legendary Life-Prolonging Furnace, the Body-Cultivating Furnace was of little use to him.
As soon as Han Li took out the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, the two furnaces started roaring and resonating with one another.
But to Han Li’s disappointment, the Body-Cultivating Furnace and the Soul-Cultivating Furnace did not merge. This Body-Cultivating Furnace was indeed a second-rate imitation.
He had anticipated this, but still sighed.
After searching Chu Dingqian’s soul, he learned much intelligence, including detailed information about the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, Body-Cultivating Furnace, and the Life-Prolonging Furnace. He knew that Chu Dingqian had once taken the Soul-Cultivating Furnace to the Canghai Sect to merge it with the Body-Cultivating Furnace, but without success.
“Can it be successful?” Han Li frowned slightly.
With the imitation Body-Cultivating Furnace in his left hand and the Soul-Cultivating Furnace in his right, his expression varied uncertainly, now unsure of the outcome.
Only three treasures could cause a response in the imitation Body-Cultivating Furnace: the Body-Cultivating Furnace, the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, and the Life-Prolonging Furnace.
With the Soul-Cultivating Furnace in his possession, that could be ruled out. Since the Body-Cultivating Furnace and the Soul-Cultivating Furnace were of comparable ranks and unable to persistently absorb spiritual energy for tens of thousands of years, the object hidden on Chengsheng Mountain must be the Life-Prolonging Furnace.
He had already explored Chengsheng Mountain countless times and found no trace of the Life-Prolonging Furnace, which led to only one possibility: like the Dragon Ball, the Life-Prolonging Furnace was hidden within a secret territory.
