The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Black Wind Plains, where howling winds whip up clouds of dust. A strange black wind blows year-round, carrying a chilling, malevolent aura that makes it difficult for ordinary cultivators to linger. The Black Wind Demon King, who rules this place, is a Black Wind Wolf who has cultivated to a high level, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He commands thousands of wolf demons, making him the strongest demon force within a radius of ten thousand miles.

At this moment, in the center of Black Wind Plains, Han Li, Han Jinglei, and the Black Wind Demon King are facing off.

The Black Wind Demon King revealed his true form: a giant black wolf three zhang tall, with fur like steel needles, blood-red eyes, and black baleful energy spewing from its mouth and nose. He stared at the two human Nascent Soul cultivators before him, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Two Nascent Soul stage cultivators dare to invade my Black Wind Plains? Did Han Mu send you here to die?" The Black Wind Demon King's voice was deep and mocking.

Han Li remained calm: "Demon King, you are mistaken. Han City desires to unify the surrounding area of ​​100,000 li, and Black Wind Plains is located within it. If Demon King is willing to submit, he can retain his original position and rule Black Wind Plains, only needing to obey Han City's orders. If not... then this place will have to change hands."

"Arrogant!" The Black Wind Demon King laughed in fury. "In my thousand years of cultivation, I've never seen such an ignorant and ignorant junior. Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"

He roared to the sky, his voice echoing across the land. With the roar, thousands of wolf demons surged forth from all directions, surrounding Han Li and Han Jinglei. The weakest of these wolf demons was at least at the Core Formation stage, with over a hundred at the Nascent Soul stage, and three at the Deity Transformation stage besides the Demon King.

"Form ranks!" Han Li shouted. The three hundred Han City cultivators behind him quickly formed a battle formation, confronting the wolf demon. Although outnumbered, the Han City cultivators were well-trained and well-equipped, so they were not afraid.

"Jing Lei, you deal with those three Nascent Soul wolf demons. Leave the Demon King to me," Han Li assigned the tasks.

"Alright!" Han Jinglei nodded, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning as he charged towards the three Nascent Soul wolf demons. He cultivated lightning magic, possessing extremely high speed and ferocious attacks, making him best suited for fighting multiple opponents at once.

Han Li then faced the Black Wind Demon King. He formed hand seals, and a chilling aura emanated from his body, instantly freezing the ground into a thick layer of ice.

"A thousand miles frozen over!"

Centered on Han Li, the ice rapidly spread, slowing down the wolf demons and greatly reducing their strength wherever it passed. This was an ice-type domain awakened after Han Li's Nascent Soul transformation. Within this domain, Han Li's strength could be increased by 30%, while his enemies were suppressed by 30%.

"A domain?" The Black Wind Demon King's pupils contracted, finally abandoning his contempt. Those Nascent Soul cultivators who could comprehend a domain were all among the best of their kind. He dared not be careless and opened his mouth to spew out a black whirlwind.

The black whirlwind swelled with the wind, transforming into a hundred-foot-long tornado that swept towards Han Lixi. Wherever the tornado passed, sand and stones flew, and even a layer of the ground was scraped away. This was the Black Wind Demon King's innate divine power, "Black Fiend Demon Wind," which contained yin and evil energy that could corrode magical treasures and erode the soul.

Han Li neither dodged nor evaded, but instead held his hands together, and an ice-blue ball of light condensed in his palms. The ball of light rapidly expanded, transforming into an ice moon.

"Ice Soul Divine Light, go!"

The Ice Moon and the Black Fiend Wind collided, unleashing a blinding light. Extreme cold and extreme yin clashed, annihilating each other. However, Han Li's Ice Soul Divine Light prevailed, freezing the Black Fiend Wind inch by inch. In the end, the Ice Moon exploded, transforming into countless ice crystals that enveloped the Black Wind Demon King.

"Roar!" The Black Wind Demon King roared, his body radiating black light that shattered the ice crystals. However, he was already covered in wounds and blood.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?" he asked, both shocked and furious. His Black Fiend Wind had never suffered a loss against opponents of the same level, yet it had been easily broken by his opponent.

"The Ice Soul True Scripture, the Great Perfection Divine Power," Han Li said calmly. The Ice Soul True Scripture he cultivated was a top-tier technique improved by Han Mu, and he had also refined the Moon Essence Pill, making his magical power far more refined than others of the same level.

"Again!" The Black Wind Demon King, enraged, pounced once more. He held nothing back, revealing his hundred-foot-tall demonic form, and engaged Han Li in close combat.

Meanwhile, the battle between Han Jinglei and the three Nascent Soul wolf demons had also reached a fever pitch. Han Jinglei's body shimmered with lightning, like a thunder god descending to earth, each strike bringing forth a sky full of thunder. Although the three wolf demons were strong, they were constantly restrained by the lightning magic, and one of them was already seriously injured.

"Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens!" Han Jinglei roared, summoning the divine thunder of the nine heavens. Nine bolts of purple lightning descended from the sky, striking the three wolf demons with pinpoint accuracy.

"Ah—!" With screams of agony, the three Nascent Soul wolf demons were instantly cleaved into charred remains, their souls and spirits annihilated.

Having defeated his opponent, Han Jinglei turned and joined Han Li in the battle against the Black Wind Demon King. With the two working together, the Black Wind Demon King immediately faced increased pressure.

"Roar! What kind of skill is it to gang up on the few with your numbers!" the Black Wind Demon King roared, but he was already considering retreating. These two were no less powerful than him, and he had no chance of winning against them if they joined forces.

"Demon King, shall we continue fighting?" Han Li stopped and asked. "If we continue, you will surely die. Han City is eager for talent. If the Demon King can submit, his future will be limitless. It's better than to toil away in this wasteland, never having a chance to reach the Void Refinement stage."

These words struck a nerve with the Black Wind Demon King. He had been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for three hundred years, unable to break through to the Void Refinement stage. Black Wind Plains had limited resources and no high-level cultivation techniques; without a fortuitous opportunity, he would be stuck there for the rest of his life.

"Hancheng... does it really have a method that can help me break through to the Void Refinement stage?" the Black Wind Demon King asked hesitantly.

"Of course." Han Li nodded. "My Han City has the expertise to help people break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Refinement stage, and we have various pills and formations to assist us. As long as we make contributions, the city lord will not be stingy with rewards. Moreover, the Demon King should know that the Demon Clan is eyeing us covetously, and the Spirit Realm is about to descend into chaos. Going it alone will ultimately lead to failure. Only by relying on Han City can we have a chance to secure a place in this chaotic world."

The Black Wind Demon King remained silent. Han Li was right; the demon race had been active recently, with constant border conflicts, and a major war was imminent. Although he was strong, he was nothing more than an ant before the demon army. If a great calamity were to occur, Black Wind Plains would bear the brunt.

"Very well, I am willing to surrender." The Black Wind Demon King finally made his decision, "but on one condition: I must meet City Lord Han Mu."

"Alright." Han Li nodded. "The city lord is on his way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared out of thin air—it was Han Mu. He looked at the Black Wind Demon King and nodded, saying, "Not bad, solid foundation, with the potential to break through to the Void Refinement stage. If you sincerely submit, I can pass on the 'Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Technique' to you. This technique is suitable for wolf clans and can lead directly to the Great Ascension stage."

"The Mahayana cultivation technique?" The Black Wind Demon King's breathing quickened. Without further hesitation, he knelt on one knee. "Black Wind is willing to serve Lord Han as its master and will never betray him!"

"Get up." Han Mu raised his hand. "From today onwards, Black Wind Plains will be incorporated into Han City. You will be the commander of the Black Wind Army, leading the Plains forces. Come to Han City in three days to receive your cultivation technique."

"Thank you, City Lord!" The Black Wind Demon King was overjoyed. A Mahayana cultivation technique—this was the opportunity he had been dreaming of.

"Han Li, well done." Han Mu looked at Han Li approvingly. He could outsmart his opponent without indiscriminate killing; this was the successor of Han City he wanted.

"It's all thanks to the City Lord's reputation," Han Li said modestly.

"No need to be modest." Han Mu waved his hand. "Pack up and prepare to take over Black Wind Plains. I'm going to check on the Crimson Flame Mountains; it seems Yun Ge is having some trouble."

He flickered and disappeared.

Han Li and Han Jinglei exchanged a smile, knowing that Han Yunge and Han Ling'er were probably close to succeeding in their scheme over at the Crimson Flame Mountains.

Hancheng's expansion is unstoppable.
