At that moment, the Pihai Realm cultivator guarding the sect’s entrance finally appeared.

Guarding the sect’s entrance was a relaxed duty, and this Inner Sect Disciple took on the task while cultivating, earning some Contribution Points in the process.

Generally, no one would disturb him as usual people would be stopped by other disciples and wouldn’t reach him at all.

The commotion of Han Li’s return was quite noticeable, and the Inner Sect Disciple was stirred, so he came out to take a look.

“Han Li?”

Observing the handsome young man, the Inner Sect Disciple pondered, and finally remembered who Han Li was. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his movements were not slow.

“So it’s Junior Brother Han Li, congratulations on breaking through to the Pihai Realm. Our Inner Academy has gained another exceptional individual, which is indeed a cause for celebration.”

Han Li had deliberately concealed his cultivation, only revealing the first layer of the Pihai Realm. He did not wish to be treated as a prodigy by the sect as that would attract too much attention.

With the Longevity Family System, all he needed was to develop low-profile. In the future, everything was possible—why rush to contend with those so-called geniuses?

The taller the tree stands, the stronger the wind blows!

Han Li only wanted to bide his time for now. Billions of years later, standing above all through the ages, the grass on the graves of these so-called geniuses would be sky-high.

The reason for his return to Tianxuan Mountain and his advancement to Inner Sect Disciple was also to build connections, facilitating the easy entry into the sect for future descendants with eighth-rank talent or higher.

Descendants with good cultivation talent should enter the sect to receive better training and improve their cultivation rapidly, which would also provide him with feedback for his own cultivation.

Tianxuan Mountain was the sect Han Li had chosen for his descendants.

“I’ve seen Senior Brother Zhang,” Han Li greeted with a cupped fist salute.

This Senior Brother Zhang was older than Han Li and had a talent close to seventh-rank. He had already broken through to the Pihai Realm before Han Li had left the mountain, and now he was at the middle phase of the Pihai Realm’s sixth layer.

Senior Brother Zhang had more than eighty years of life remaining, with no problem reaching the peak of the ninth layer of Pihai Realm. However, advancing to the Gangyuan Realm would be too difficult.

The probability for a seventh-rank talent to break through to the Gangyuan Realm is only about twenty percent, and for Senior Brother Zhang with his near-seventh-rank talent, the chances might not even be one in ten.

But no one could say for sure about the future—perhaps Senior Brother Zhang would have a special opportunity and break through.

After chatting casually with the disciple guarding the entrance, particularly with Senior Brother Zhang, Han Li formally entered Tianxuan Mountain.

Looking at the undulating mountain range rising before him and the uniquely majestic peaks, the corners of Han Li’s mouth curved slightly upward.

Tianxuan Mountain has a total of six peaks, which are the essence of the sect, with the Sect Leader and five Elders each presiding over one peak.

Tianxuan Mountain categorizes its disciples into Registered Disciples, Foreign Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Core Disciples.

Registered and Foreign Disciples reside at the foot of the Tianxuan Mountain Range in designated areas, while Inner Sect Disciples live higher up on the mountainside in the Inner Academy, where the Spiritual Energy is even more abundant.

Those promoted to the Gangyuan Realm or taken as disciples by the Sect Leader or an Elder are the Core Disciples of the sect. Core Disciples are generally the disciples of a certain Elder, living on their respective peaks.

The Sect Leader is a Grandmaster of the Hollow Void Stage, with all five Elders being true people of the God Refining Realm. This is the greatest foundation of Tianxuan Mountain and also why the sect is one of Leizhou’s four major factions and has a bit of fame in the entire Daqian Empire.

Han Li continued onward, leaving the Outer Academy and arriving at the Inner Academy. After announcing his arrival, he was led into a grand hall.

In the hall sat an old man with white hair and beard, who was in charge of the affairs of the Inner Sect Disciples’ promotions.

“`

This elder was by no means simple; his name was Jiang Cheng, a mighty Pihai Realm ninth layer cultivator with a sixth-grade cultivation talent.

Looking old, he was actually only slightly older than Han Li. Originally a famous talent of Tianxuan Mountain, he broke through to the Pihai Realm in just a few decades, with hopes of reaching the God Refining Realm. Unfortunately, he encountered a seductress from Hehuan Sect and fell into a calamitous love trap.

When Jiang Cheng went out for experience, the Hehuan Sect’s seductress deliberately approached him and planted a love entrapment in his body. Jiang Cheng fell deeply in love with her, and in the end, she successfully harvested his affection.

After the Hehuan Sect’s seductress left, Jiang Cheng’s hair turned white overnight. He returned to Tianxuan Mountain but from then on, he was dispirited, never showing any more ambition or lofty aspirations.

His master and even the sect leader had visited him, and in the end, they only said, “Once Jiang Cheng can break through the love tribulation, he will be able to swiftly ascend to the God Refining Realm, otherwise he will not be able to advance to the Gang Yuan Realm in this lifetime.”

This elder brother’s experience was used as a cautionary tale within the sect, warning disciples to stay away from the seductresses of Hehuan Sect. It would have been difficult for Han Li not to know about him.

“Brother Jiang, is there anything else?”

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was lost in thought, Han Li spoke up to remind him.

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, “Disciple Han proves to be a Pihai Realm cultivator. This is your Inner Sect token. From now on, you are an Inner Sect Disciple of Tianxuan Mountain.”

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s indifferent and uninspired demeanor, Han Li took the token and tactfully excused himself.

With the identity token in hand, Han Li moved about the Inner Sect unimpeded, going first to another area to receive his reward for being promoted to Inner Sect Disciple: ten mid-grade spiritual stones, three sea opening pills, a set of Superior Yellow-tiered inner armor, and a set of Inner Sect Disciple attire.

He then directly went to his assigned spacious courtyard. The scenery here was very beautiful, and the spiritual energy was abundant; the furniture inside was all-encompassing.

Han Li casually put on the inner armor underneath and wore the Inner Sect attire on the outside before looking at the bags and bottles on the table.

The bottle contained three sea opening pills that could help a Pihai Realm cultivator expand their inner sea more broadly, with each pill potentially increasing it by about 5%, a very impressive effect.

The bag contained ten mid-grade spiritual stones, equivalent to one thousand lower-grade spiritual stones, which was quite a nice perk.

Although he did not need the sea opening pills and spiritual stones, his descendants and concubines did, and this was also the reason why Han Li made a trip to the sect: the sect had given quite generously.

Below the Innate Realm, it was common to use worldly wealth for transactions. Once in the Innate Realm, spiritual stones became the hard currency of the cultivation realm, useful not only for transactions but also for accelerating a cultivator’s pace of cultivation.

Like Tianxuan Mountain, such a large sect was wealthy and generous with rewards for its disciples: fifty lower-grade spiritual stones for promotion to Foreign Disciples, ten mid-grade spiritual stones for Inner Sect Disciples, and a whopping two hundred mid-grade spiritual stones for Core Disciples.

In the following period, Han Li continued to live in this courtyard. The news of his breakthrough to the Pihai Realm and promotion to Inner Sect Disciple also spread within the sect, and many people he once knew, fellow senior and junior disciples, came to visit him.

Some of them had been promoted to Inner Sect Disciples over the years, while others were still in the Innate Realm, nearing the end of their lifespans.

Those nearing the end of their lifespans lit up when they saw Han Li; if he could breakthrough near the end of his life, then they also had a chance.

Han Li did not mock them but instead encouraged them, sincerely hoping that these fellow disciples with whom he had good relations could also make their breakthrough to the Pihai Realm.

Half a month later, Han Li left Tianxuan Mountain. His outward reason was to go out for cultivation experience, but in reality, he intended to return to Lingjun City to retire, watch the world’s tumult from afar, and develop slowly.

Typically, after being promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, one could choose a mountain peak to pay respects to and select an Elder or the sect leader to become a disciple of. If successful, one directly became a Core Disciple, gaining access to even more cultivation resources.

Han Li, well aware of his own situation, did not attempt to take a master. He had no need for one; after all, he didn’t practice cultivation. What use was a master to him?

For nearly fifty years, he had never cultivated, yet he had breezed his way through to the Pihai Realm, ascending all the way to the eighth layer.

Being able to impart all he knew at will, enjoying longevity and standing atop the eternal heavens, this was simply the ultimate delight!
