“Senior Sister really knows how to… enjoy herself.”

Han Li paused for a moment, then said with a smile.

“What do you mean by that?” Gongsun Yue raised her eyebrows, always feeling that Han Li was saying something she couldn’t understand.

“It’s nothing.”

Han Li shook his head, sincerely saying, “Junior Brother seldom interacts with others and is not good with words. I hope Senior Sister will be indulgent and forgive my lack of eloquence.”

“If I, your junior brother, am ignorant, Senior Sister can educate me verbally as much as needed. Whether in the past or in the future, Junior Brother will certainly not let Senior Sister down.”

Upon receiving the “hidden message” from Han Li, Gongsun Yue nodded her head, a smile appearing on her cold and stunning face as she said,

“Since that’s the case, I, as your Senior Sister, will put more effort into speaking in the future during our cultivation.”

She had read the reports about Han Li, who stayed in Lingjun City for years without venturing out, even Tianxuan Mountain, which explained his lack of interaction with other cultivators; it was understandable.

Having received the goodwill from Han Li, Gongsun Yue felt she should take it seriously. As Han Li was her father’s cherished disciple and held in high hopes, she naturally had to care for him more and must ensure he did not take the wrong path.

Han Li was “moved to gratitude” and said, “For Senior Sister’s kindness, like a drop of water, Junior Brother will certainly return the favor with a spring of gratitude in the future.”

Gongsun Yue faintly felt his words carried a slightly different connotation, but she didn’t think too much of it and decided to start giving more verbal guidance to her little junior brother from that day on.

“Junior Brother, since you have been taken in by the Sect Leader, you must cultivate diligently. It’s best to forget worldly affairs so you can climb to the pinnacle of the Great Path. With your talent, it’s not impossible for you to achieve the status of a Guru in the Hollow Void Stage in the future.”

Gongsun Yue said these words without much confidence. Han Li’s aptitude was only eighth-grade; even if he recovered from an adventure or improved further, it still wouldn’t exceed seventh-grade. Making it to the Hollow Void Stage was tremendously difficult.

Yet, Han Li had asked her to speak more and give more verbal guidance. Considering Han Li’s indulgence in worldly pleasures and the frequent taking of concubines in Lingjun City, Gongsun Yue felt compelled to advise him.

In her eyes, under the focused cultivation at Tianxuan Mountain, Han Li still had hope of becoming a real person of the God Refining Realm in the future.

A trace of surprise flashed in Han Li’s eyes; this Gongsun Yue really couldn’t understand, pure as an untainted white lotus.

“Then, Junior Brother will return to his cave abode to cultivate.” Han Li bowed his hands, his face taking on a solemn expression.

“Go.” Gongsun Yue cleared the way for him.

Her purpose for coming here was almost accomplished, and she even seemed to have steered her little junior brother onto the right path. Watching Han Li’s disappearing figure, she always felt she had forgotten something.

After Han Li walked into his cave abode, the formations and prohibition mechanisms restarted, and he entered a state of secluded cultivation.

Time flew by, and it was four months in the blink of an eye.

In the cultivation room, Han Li was practicing the God Slaying Sword technique. With a thought, strands of sword energy condensed out of thin air, gathering into a longsword and then assembling into a wheel of swords, shining brilliantly as though possessing the might to slay immortals and gods.

“Very good, the first move of the God Slaying Sword technique is finally mastered,” Han Li said, his face breaking into a smile. He had indeed practiced hard for several months.

The God Slaying Sword technique only had four moves: the first to slay mortals, the second to slay the earth, the third to slay the heavens, and the fourth to slay gods.

Someone at the Peak of Gangyuan Realm could barely learn the first move, and after mastering it, they would be able to spar with a real person of the God Refining Realm for a short while.

The Xuantian Punch was of an even higher rank and more difficult to train. Once mastered, one’s combat ability could match a real person of the first level in the God Refining Realm. Han Li had not yet mastered it and estimated that it would take about ten more days.

Just as Han Li was about to continue his seclusion to master the Xuantian Punch in one stroke, a series of prompts echoed in his mind, causing his expression to change slightly.

According to his estimation, the exceptional sisters, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin, were likely to give birth to their offspring soon, with an error margin of no more than half a month.

There had been no hints in the past few days, and he thought there was still time, that he would make it back to Lingjun City to witness the birth of the sisters’ first child.

“Never mind. ”

Typically, he would be present at the birth of a concubine’s child. Since he had missed it, Han Li decided he would compensate the sisters well upon his return.

Immediately after, Han Li checked the system prompt.

“You have fathered your first offspring with sixth-grade aptitude. Your own

cultivation progress, and you acquire the Supreme Grade Profound Rank martial skill [Step Booster Technique].”

“Your cultivation talent has been promoted to sixth-grade.”

“You have fathered your first offspring with fifth-grade aptitude. Your own aptitude has increased by one third of ten percent, you gain fifty years of cultivation progress, and you acquire the Lower-grade Earth-Level martial skill [Golden Bell Shield].”

After reading, Han Li smiled. Indeed, this was like timely rain.

His own talent had already been close to sixth -grade. Having a sixth-grade talented offspring directly promoted him, and the added talents from the fifth-grade talented offspring made his talent quite good among sixth-graders.

In the system’s rewards, below third-grade and middle third-grade talents were thresholds; the birth benefits for fifth and sixth-grade talented offspring were much richer.

Keep in mind that for his first seventh -grade talented offspring, he only received twenty years of cultivation progress and an Intermediate Profound Rank martial skill.

The Supreme Grade Profound Rank martial skill [Step Booster Technique] was precisely the kind of footwork Han Li needed as he previously didn’t possess any noteworthy footwork techniques.

Step Booster Technique could be used not only for traveling but also in combat. When used in a fight, steps shift and change unpredictably, as if stepping upon the constellations; while traveling, one’s feet step upon the Big Dipper’s seven stars. Though one cannot step from star to star, spanning thousands of miles in a single step is no trouble at all.

When perfected, the Step Booster Technique is not inferior to many Lower-grade Earth-Level martial skills.

The [Golden Bell Shield] is even more powerful, arguably an ultimate body-refining technique. After cultivation, the body’s strength surges. When the technique is activated, one turns into a little golden figure. For half an hour, one becomes invulnerable, blades and spears cannot penetrate, nor can thousands of poisons invade; it is exceptionally strong.

This body protection technique has incredibly strong defense. When perfect, an invisible Gang Yuan energy forms around the body extending three feet out. Enemy attacks, whether blades or strikes, are repelled by this invisible energy before they even reach the body.

Not only are enemies unable to harm Han Li’s body, but they may also injure themselves in the process. It harms the opponent unseen.

Unless the enemy’s cultivation far exceeds his, they would not be able to break through Han Li’s defenses.

After claiming these two martial skills, Han Li spent some time absorbing and digesting them, gaining countless cultivation experiences and quickly reaching the perfected level.

Now equipped with powerful footwork and his body protection technique upgraded from the [Golden Bell Shield] and [Iron Cloth Shirt] to [Golden Bell Shield], his weaknesses could be said to have been remedied.

Once he had mastered the Xuantian Punch to a certain degree, his offensive power would greatly increase, and his combat ability would rise once more.

If possible, Han Li would prefer to crush his enemies with a higher level of cultivation than engage in battles beyond his level; but if his cultivation was lesser, he found it acceptable to have a combat ability greater than his true cultivation level, as long as he could defeat his enemies.

Exhaling a breath, Han Li did not delay and continued his closed-door cultivation.

Nine days later, Han Li emerged from his training room once more.

He had been just a step away from entering the threshold of the Xuantian Punch, and with a burst of effort over these nine days, he stepped in and successfully mastered the Xuantian Punch.

The Xuantian Punch consisted of five moves: Earth-Shattering Tide, Dragon in the Field, Traverse the Eight Desolations, Sun and Moon in the Sky, and Xuantian Limitless.

It was said that upon mastering the fifth move, Xuantian Limitless, one would possess a might comparable to a Lower-rank Heaven-Level martial skill.

Han Li didn’t know whether this was true. Nevertheless, his master, Gongsun Yun, had told him so, and warned him never to pass it on privately.
