Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch s Marriage

Chapter 488: Chapter 218: Creating an Intense Competitive Family! The Whole World Honors the Great Ancestor of Love! Mortal King Body! The First Immortal Weapon is Born_3

A minority of the descendants of those who already benefited felt somewhat dissatisfied, but given the trend of the times, they couldn’t change the old ancestor of the Han Mansion, so they could only change themselves. Otherwise, if they were eliminated, they would have nothing left.

Most descendants, however, were excited beyond measure. It had been very difficult for them to get on either the key or core training lists, but with this reform, they now had many avenues for promotion.

On the other hand, most descendants were still watching the policy that encouraged reproduction, waiting to see what the new incentive policies were before deciding whether or not to continue having children.

Although the offspring of the Han Mansion’s descendants didn’t require their attention, with everything being managed by the Han Mansion, eliminating worries for them, having more descendants still meant receiving a substantial reward.

But the more offspring they had, the less concerned they were, after all, they still had to secure a bright future for their descendants and compete for various resources and benefits, which were not managed by the Han Mansion.

Another reason was that the development of the Han Mansion was too rapid; the resources and benefits they could receive were many times better than before, and the incentives for encouraging reproduction hadn’t changed, making them seem less attractive.

All this was noticed by Han Li, who observed in silence, noticing the reactions of his descendants, thereby gauging the effectiveness of these systems.

So far, the response had been quite positive; his descendants were willing to actively cooperate, and even those who were once lacklusturous now rediscovered their motivation to cultivate.

Even if they were unwilling, their mothers, Han Li’s beloved wives and beautiful concubines, would influence their thinking.

Three days later,

Han Li received some good news: a marriage delegation from the Da Jing Empire had entered Yuanzhou.

Standing atop Chengdao Peak, Han Li with his hands behind his back, unleashed his vast, majestic Divine Sense, instantly covering the entirety of Yuanzhou and saw the marriage delegation from the Da Jing Empire.

After observing carefully, Han Li discovered an unexpected surprise.

“Tsk tsk, the Da Jing Empire is really willing to spend.”

This marriage delegation from the Da Jing Empire consisted of more than eight hundred people, fully equipped and arriving in chariots—an entire solemn marriage procession.

In total, there were twelve chariots. The four in the center were even more luxurious and exquisite, decorated with big red flowers, brimming with joy. Inside them were four exceptionally beautiful women: one with Second Grade potential and three with Third Grade potential.

Leading the entourage in the foremost chariot was a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, none other than Jiang Zhengyang, the former emperor of Da Jing. In the remaining seven chariots were seven Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. This setup could be said to be extremely lavish, underscoring the great importance that the Da Jing Empire placed on Han Li.

In terms of the strength and background of the marriage delegation, as well as the beauty of the women sent, the Da Jing Empire had outperformed Emperor Wu’s City.

Emperor Wu’s City had only sent two beauties with Third Grade potential, the rest were Fourth Grade, whereas the Da Jing Empire not only sent three beauties with Third Grade potential but even included one with Second Grade potential.

It could be said that they had really invested heavily.

One must know that Second Grade potential had the capacity for the Divine Yuan Realm. With careful cultivation, advancing to the True Martial Realm would be easy, and with sufficient resources, coupled with some opportunities, they might even have a hope of breaking through to the Divine Yuan Realm.

The Da Jing Empire itself only had two True Martial Realm Emperors Wu and didn’t possess anyone in the Divine Yuan Realm, yet they were willing to send a beauty with assured True Martial potential and the possibility of reaching the Divine Yuan Realm.

This truly caused Han Li to view them with new respect.

But this was exactly what the old ancestor Han had hoped for; he wanted as many of these arrangements as possible, for they would bring him even greater fortune.

Han Li also knew why the Da Jing Empire was so generous: he had successfully ‘fished’ for them.

Han Li was well aware of the principle that spending a fortune may bring forth a steed of great value. After successfully arranging a marriage with Emperor Wu’s City, he not only came forward to solve the crisis of Emperor Wu’s City, allowing it to retain a quarter of its territory, but he also offered a grand dowry.

This included high-level cultivation techniques, martial skills, pills, weapons, and various other resources, even a considerable number of Spirit Stones, giving Emperor Wu’s City plenty of face.

Han Li had even intentionally publicized this, to let other powers know that sending a woman to him would yield a very substantial return.

The old ancestor will not treat you poorly!

As expected, this news caused quite a stir throughout the Xuan Domain. The Da Jing Empire’s willingness to send a beauty with Second Grade potential and even have a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu lead the team was aimed at the lavish gifts from Han Li.

When the Da Jing Empire’s marriage delegation reached the outside of Chengsheng Mountain, Han Li briefly concealed the mountain before personally going out to receive them, affording Jiang Zhengyang full courtesy.

Inside the Yundao Hall.

“It is a joy to have friends come from afar.”

Han Li said with a smile, “It is my honor that Daoist Jiang has come personally.”

“Where do you speak, Han Daoist friend? From now on, we will be in-laws, so naturally, I should visit personally, lest the outside world misinterprets.” Jiang Zhengyang said seriously.

Han Li nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the other people in the hall, his attention mainly on the four gorgeous women beside Jiang Zhengyang.

Feeling the gaze of Han Li, Jiang Zhengyang secretly smiled to himself, thinking that Han Li was exactly as rumored, overly fond of beauty.

They had only chatted for a moment and Han Li could hardly wait to cast his gaze towards Nangong Xue and the other women, showcasing his lustfulness.

Yet, this made Jiang Zhengyang pleased; the more Han Li acted this way, the more generous his return for the great gift they brought would be.

Initially, he hadn’t wanted to send Nangong Xue. She was his personal disciple, whom he had raised as his own daughter and regarded as a future pillar of the Da Jing Empire.

But how could he resist when Han Li’s offerings were so plentiful?

According to the news that had spread, the dowry Han Li provided to Emperor Wu’s City was so generous that it moved both him and Jiang Yuanchuan, the two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus.
