Only a year had passed since he last captured a cultivator, and he had not even recovered half of that meager strength. If he were to completely drain this bit of power, he could indeed pull in the Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator from outside.

If time allowed, he would prefer to wait and conserve that sliver of strength, but time was pressing.

It took him fifty to sixty thousand years to create a slight flaw in the Emperor Formation and barely manage to transmit a sliver of power out. Now that the formation had been repaired by Zi Miao Zhen, he could no longer send power outside, nor did he want to wait another fifty thousand years.

If he missed the opportunity with that Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator outside, who knows when he would encounter another one? Pulling in a regular cultivator would be futile, as he could not afford to throw out a second pill formula to cause trouble.

Besides, regular cultivators were too unreliable. Thinking back to the first time he pulled in that Pihai Realm minor cultivator, the Great Emperor felt somewhat disheartened.

“Hum-”

Just as Lu Tianxiang was about to leave, she sensed a terrifying suction force. Her expression brightened, and rather than resisting, she merely maintained a basic level of vigilance.

The next instant, Lu Tianxiang found herself in the Underground World.

Lu Tianxiang was somewhat cautious, not releasing her Spiritual Sense, but observing with her eyes alone, being extremely careful in her heart. She did not know if there would be old monsters appearing in this secret territory.

Soon, she spotted the luminous screen ahead. Though it was thousands of meters away, the nine colors revolving and the rosy light illuminated the entire Underground World.

“Gulp-”

Unable to help herself, Lu Tianxiang swallowed nervously, feeling both excited and a bit apprehensive.

Everything she was seeing matched the description from her subordinates, with the only difference being the sparse Spiritual Energy within the secret territory.

Could it be that a Gangyuan Realm cultivator had broken through the seven heavens and nearly exhausted the Spiritual Energy here?

Lu Tianxiang could hardly believe it. She stepped toward the nine-colored screen, only then releasing her Spiritual Sense, covering merely a hundred meters around her and cautiously exploring.

Having reached the Myriad Phenomena Realm through her cultivation, she had entered several secret territories and knew that such places were risky: the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk, as there were no fortunes gained without danger.

The last time she explored a secret territory, she obtained her main cultivation technique of Heaven Rank Lower Grade, but she had almost died in the process, still feeling fear when recalling the experience. She had nearly perished within.

The opportunity within this secret territory appeared greater and more defy-the-heavens, implying greater danger, making Lu Tianxiang all the more cautious. She did not wish to die here.

When she reached within five hundred meters of the nine-colored screen, Lu Tianxiang stopped, her eyes filled with wariness as she saw scenes invisible to ordinary cultivators.

The nine-colored screen was densely covered with patterns of the Great Dao, where countless profound and intricate Dao patterns interwove, sketching fleeting images, each one embodying great terror.

“Is this… an Emperor Formation?”

Lu Tianxiang’s face was somewhat blank as she murmured to herself.

She had seen a description of an Emperor Formation in an ancient book from the last secret territory she visited. It boldly stated that an Emperor Formation possessed supreme power, allowing a mere fraction of its force to destroy heavens and earth, to slay powerful beings.

At that moment, Lu Tianxiang felt an urge to turn and flee. If it really was an Emperor Formation, she dared not pry into it.

No matter what great figure might be suppressed inside or how many treasures lay hidden, she had no interest in them; a mere wisp of the formation’s power could annihilate her countless times over.

“Eh, you actually know about Emperor Formations?”

At that moment, a deep and ancient voice sounded next to Lu Tianxiang’s ear, the tone filled with surprise, as if it was quite astonished.

Whoosh!

As the voice echoed, Lu Tianxiang’s figure flashed, instantly reappearing thousands of meters away, watching the nine-colored screen with extreme apprehension. She wanted to see through the screen, to see what was inside, but she could discern nothing.

“Young one, there’s no need to be nervous.”

The nine-colored screen revealed the silhouette of a towering figure, the voice soft and assuring, like a kindly old grandfather.

Now that Lu Tianxiang had recognized the Emperor Formation, the Great Emperor changed his initial plan, realizing it would be hard to deceive this woman, and he decided to make a trade with her.

Lu Tianxiang bit her red lips, expressionless, and deeply regretted her impulsive action. The opportunity had been so immense that it blinded her, luring her into a perilous situation.

She clearly knew that the person behind the nine-colored light curtain was no philanthropist; otherwise, they wouldn’t be suppressed within the Emperor Formation. To receive such treatment signified that this was one of the legendary ancient Great Emperors.

Seeing that Lu Tianxiang didn’t respond, the Great Emperor chuckled and said, “I know why you have come, and indeed, I possess the opportunities and treasures you seek. If you would do me a favor, I would take you as my personal disciple, impart to you the Emperor’s scriptures and weapons, and even give you a great opportunity to become an emperor. How about it?”

“Heh!”

Lu Tianxiang let out a cold laugh, unmoved by his empty promises and grand talk which she was in no position to enjoy.

Now she felt less nervous; Lu Tianxiang realized that the suspected Great Emperor couldn’t leave the confines of the formation and couldn’t exert any power either. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be wasting his time talking to her.

“Let me first express my sincerity.”

Lu Tianxiang hesitated but eventually nodded her head. Since the Great Emperor couldn’t leave, he posed no threat to her life.

“Over twenty years ago, a Pihai Realm cultivator was captured by me and took away a Rebirth Pill formula from here.”

In Lingjun City, at the Han Mansion.

Han Li was at the Pill Refining Pavilion refining pills. The pill he was making was called the Yuan Enhancing Pill, a seventh-grade elixir that could quicken the cultivation pace of Great Masters in the Gangyuan Realm.

This seventh-grade pill formula was something Han Li had acquired for free after he had killed Cui Pingyu, a Great Master of the Hehuan Sect. Cui’s Space Ring contained many items, which Han Li stored away without thorough inspection.

Previously collecting dust in the Space Ring, upon recently organizing it, he found, to his delight, a seventh-grade pill formula among the items.

Although Han Li had no use for the Yuan Enhancing Pill himself, the Han Mansion did. It could be saved for future Gangyuan Realm Great Masters of the Han Mansion or sold when the time was right, serving as a significant source of Spirit Stones.

After spending some time, Han Li easily made the first batch of pills, yielding ten pills with eight of them being of good quality.

He then refined nine more batches, each producing ten Yuan Enhancing Pills of good quality.

Exhaling, Han Li put away the pill furnace and left the Pill Refining Pavilion.

Upon returning to the rear courtyard and just after taking a sip of Spiritual Tea, Liu Yuexin came over with joy on her face, softly saying:

“Husband, Sister Liu Yue has given birth.”

“That’s great!”

Han Li excitedly kissed Liu Yuexin and strode towards Liu Yue’s courtyard.

Previously, his Cultivation Talent had been very close to the fifth grade, and now, after more than five months and adding 28 offspring, only two had any cultivation potential—one mediocre and one eighth grade. The eighth-grade talent offspring was born to one of Han Li’s concubines.

This brought his Cultivation Talent to 99-5% of the sixth grade, just a tiny bit away from advancing to the fifth grade, and now the moment had finally come.

Another of his beautiful concubines, Liu Yue, had given birth to an offspring, who at least would have a ninth-grade talent, sufficient to raise his Talent to the fifth grade.

After arriving at the courtyard and tending to Liu Yue, Han Li then checked the child’s talent, who was again eighth grade.

Han Li’s face remained full of smiles, which allowed the watchful Liu Yue to breathe a sigh of relief.

After naming the child and chatting with Liu Yue for a while, Han Li left and returned to his bedroom.

Adjusting his mood, Han Li opened the messaging panel to check the system notifications.

“You have fathered an offspring with eighth -grade talent. You gain one year of cultivation, one year of lifespan, one Supreme Grade Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, one Beauty Preserving Pill, and your Cultivation Talent has been enhanced.”

“Your Cultivation Talent has advanced to the fifth grade..”
