A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

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

While using the Gold-Eating Insects to gnaw at parts of the barrier, they weakened the strength of the protective barrier here.

On one hand, he created a spatial rift, unleashing power at least at the late Nascent Soul stage.

He used a two-pronged approach to forcefully break the restrictions on this place.

"receive!"

I've acquired over a hundred lightning-absorbing beads.

"receive!"

I finally got my hands on the leaves of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, which had been stored for tens of thousands of years.

"receive!"

He took away the seven large golden bamboo roots, leaving behind the smaller ones and the rhizomes.

"receive."

He also took away the frozen centipede puppet.

"receive."

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, drops of water began to fall, landing inside the magical bottle below.

As the last drop of water fell, Han Li turned off the tap again.

When I picked up the ritual implement bottle, it was already more than half full.

These seemingly ordinary water droplets are actually the priceless, millennia-old spiritual milk.

These are all the benefits he gained from entering this room.

Of course, it's not enough to just take the benefits without doing anything in return.

Therefore, he also gained a sense of responsibility.

"Please rest assured, seniors. Now that I have taken the item, I will at least pacify one part of the Demon Abyss in this world for you!"

Before Han Li's figure disappeared, he cupped his hands towards the stone wall.

It's unrealistic for him to eliminate all the demonic energy seals in this realm on his own; he'll need the help of some powerful forces.

Furthermore, once he becomes a great cultivator and possesses the power to roam freely in this world, he will surely try to collect as many lightning-absorbing beads as possible, and then return to this place to rearrange them.

The mention of the Thunder-Absorbing Pearl immediately brought to mind the Thunder Whale Clan.

"After tens of thousands of years of recuperation, the Thunder Whale clan should have recovered by now, right?"

Han Li murmured, stroking his chin.

If the number of thunder whales is very small, then 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 is shrouded in mist and filled with spiritual energy.

At the spring's source, the water of the sacred spring gushes forth continuously.

On the platform where golden bamboo was originally cultivated, the roots of the golden bamboo are still preserved in the soil, and a small section of bamboo, about two inches long, looks full of vitality.

Ten thousand years from now, who knows which lucky person will be able to enter this place and take away a new ten-thousand-year-old golden thunder bamboo?
...

On the open sea, a hundred miles away from the Void Heaven Palace, a man's figure appeared out of thin air after a flash of white light.

The man had an ordinary appearance; apart from his very clear eyes, he didn't seem to have any other outstanding features.

It can be described as utterly unremarkable.

This person was none other than Han Li, who had just emerged from the fourth level of the Void Heaven Palace.

"Huh? There are my divine imprints on Yuan Yao and Yan Li to the due west!"

After determining the direction, Han Li abruptly 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 was occupied by a mid-level sect at the Core Formation stage.

The island has spiritual veins and a sect market.

When he entered the Void Heaven Palace secret realm earlier, he made an agreement with the two women that after leaving the Void Heaven Palace, they would go directly to Lone Goose Island to meet up.

Immediately, Han Li turned his head again and looked southwest:

"And this side too..."

"There is also a divine sense imprint in this direction!"

The mark was the one he left on Gan Rushuang.

"It seems that she has successfully obtained the items and escaped from the Void Heaven Palace."

While inside the inner palace, he made a promise to this woman. That was that after leaving the Void Heaven Palace, she would go directly to another medium-sized island in the southwest of this place and wait for him for a month.

"It's quite rare that this woman didn't leave with anything, but went to the rendezvous point as agreed."

He knew very well what Gan Rushuang could gain.

If someone were even slightly greedy and ran off with the treasures, they would have the confidence to fight against other veteran Nascent Soul cultivators once they reached the Nascent Soul stage.

But Gan Rushuang did not do that.

Being able to keep one's promise is commendable.

...

Afterwards, Han Li traveled through the Nine Heavens Gale Layer and arrived at Lone Goose Island in just half a day.

Inside a pavilion in the market, his primordial spirit, now back in his physical form, embraced Yuan Yaoyan upon seeing her.

"Huh? Yuan Yao, what's 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 actually saved the arduous cultivation time that ordinary late-stage cultivators would take at least a hundred years to accumulate! She reached the peak of the late-stage Core Formation realm without making a sound!

Han Li was quite curious about this.

"My lord, there is a great opportunity in that room..."

The two women then recounted their experiences in the inner stone hall.

Among them, Yuan Yao took the lead in telling the story of the Spirit Eye Tree that had been sealed for countless millennia, and the incredibly pure spiritual energy that the Spirit Eye Tree had purified for countless millennia.

With the help of that pure spiritual energy, Yuan Yao's cultivation level not only advanced by leaps and bounds, but the purity of her magical power also increased dramatically, and the accompanying spirit insects and beasts also advanced in rank.

Several of them had grown even larger, and the ferocious aura they exuded had reached the level of a level seven demon beast.

The level 7 peak 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 demon cores within the bodies of the most powerful Mo Jiao Lao Liu and Xiao Ling Xiao Xing have grown significantly.

In other words, the three spirit beasts have a stronger foundation and may be able to reach level eight at any time.

The Icefire Wolf, on the other hand, defied fate and had a chance to reach level eight.

"Not bad."

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

This was truly an unexpected delight. He had never anticipated such a gain.

Then, Han Li saw a nearly half-full bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid in the storage bag that was handed to him.

I spotted a small bottle containing over three hundred drops of Ling Shu alcohol.

They also saw a Spirit Eye Tree that was missing most of its roots and had become very withered.

The alcohol liquid was carefully collected and stored by ancient cultivators using special methods. Like the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid, the spiritual essence of the alcohol liquid has also been well preserved.

However, that Tree of Spiritual Eyes…

"Where did the other half of the spirit tree's root go?"

Han Li looked at Yuan Yao, frowned slightly, and asked.

"My lord, I didn't bring out all the roots of the Spirit Eye Tree..."

Yuan Yao bit her lip and then spoke cautiously.

I'm a little worried that the person in front of me will get angry because of this.

Tell me, why?

Han Li remained calm and did not get angry.

“My lord, given 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. Planting it in a place rich in spiritual energy for three to five hundred years will be enough for it to fully recover.”

"I left half of the roots in the stone house in the inner sanctuary. Two hundred years from now, those half of the roots will surely sprout and grow into a new sapling of the Spirit Eye Tree. Thousands or tens of thousands of years later, a lucky person will be able to replicate the opportunity I have enjoyed this time."

Yuan Yao told the truth.

If there's a benefit to be gained, taking advantage of the situation is something any cultivator would do.

However, leaving not a single blade of grass behind after scraping the ground is not Yuan Yao's style.

"Before you left, did you add another layer of spirit-binding array to the damaged formation?"

"Yes, I tried my best to set up a spirit-binding array."

Yuan Yao nodded.

The Spirit Eye Spring continuously generates spiritual energy.

The Tree of Spiritual Eyes continuously purifies the spiritual energy drifting from the direction of the Spiritual Spring.

Furthermore, the Spirit Binding Array is responsible for imprisoning and restraining the pure spiritual energy to prevent it from leaking out.

And as long as the Void Heaven Palace operates without problems.

As long as there is enough time.

It is indeed possible to artificially create another great opportunity.

"You do have a heart."

Han Li sighed.

How can such behavior be criticized?
Instead of blaming them, we should affirm them.

Otherwise, if the cultivation world is full of people who exploit everything they have, how can future generations rise up? How can the human race continue its lineage?
If the ancient cultivators like Fairy Ice Soul had also taken advantage of him back then, how could he have had such a great harvest?

As the saying goes, "When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger."

Good traditions should be learned and inherited.

"Husband, you're not angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

Yuan Yao is fortunate to be able to maintain a magnanimous spirit while fulfilling his own needs.

"But I also have a selfish reason."

"What selfish motives?"

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

Yuan Yao said.

Upon hearing this, Han Li fell silent.

...

"Husband, look at this?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yanli quickly took out an ugly strange tree, most of a bottle of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid, and a puppet guard that was not badly damaged.

That ugly, strange tree with its charred, rough exterior and numerous pits and bumps is none other than the Soul-Nourishing Tree, one of the three great divine trees of the human realm.

Han Li smiled upon seeing this.

This soul-nourishing tree is seven or eight feet long, and its roots are about a foot long.

The materials were plentiful.

Unless you're crafting a large soul box, these few feet of soul-nourishing wood are more than enough to craft several soul-nourishing treasures.

For example, a scroll that is a foot long can be crafted into several pieces.

It can be used not only to strengthen the main spirit, but also to cultivate the secondary spirit.

"Good baby."

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

just.

Just after leaving the market, Han Li suddenly spoke up and gave a response:
"You should focus all your efforts on forming your Nascent Souls first. If you can do it, your lifespan will increase greatly, and the three of us can stay together for at least a thousand years. With a thousand years together, will 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 Soul, the more dangerous the inner demons will be during the formation process. Why make things harder for yourselves?"

He didn't expect that although the two women were quite determined in their pursuit of Taoism, they also had other intentions.

That's his fault too.

He was negligent.

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

On the other hand, the fact that they were often apart led to other misunderstandings.

After all, Gan Rushuang not only possessed the cultivation level of the late Core Formation stage, but also had a delicate appearance that was not much inferior to Yuan Yao's. More importantly, Gan Rushuang's Dao heart was much firmer than the two women's, and her apparent talent far surpassed that of the two women.

If it were only beauty, Gan Rushuang wouldn't have much of an advantage. But beauty plus cultivation, Dao heart, aptitude, and potential—that's the ultimate weapon.

It would be strange if the two women felt no pressure at all.

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, abandon one of them.

"Oh, troublesome."

Building a harem is indeed a very difficult thing.

If things don't go wrong in the backyard, someone has to be able to keep things in check.

　Monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, guys, it's up to you.

　　His grades were really just average.

　　The effort and the reward are completely disproportionate.

　　It's difficult.
