Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 302: Entering the Great Dao Palace, the Four-Step Test, the Test Begins

"I hope it's really her," Han Li murmured to himself, his gaze flickering as he looked at the unusually bright moon.

"Who is it, husband?" Yun Miaoyi asked with a smile.

Lu Tianxiang, Gongsun Yue, and Jiang Baiye also looked over. They had all heard their husband's murmured words, despite his low voice.

Although the sound was small, with their cultivation in the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, they could still clearly hear it.

Han Li's gaze swept over their beautiful faces, hesitated slightly, and then he spoke, "Guanghan Immortal Emperor."

"Huh?"

"What does this have to do with Guanghan Immortal Emperor?"

"Husband, do you know Guanghan Immortal Emperor?"

"Guanghan Immortal Emperor resides in the Guanghan Heaven among the Thirty-Three Heavens. He commands the Guanghan Immortal Palace and is said to have long reached the peak of Immortal Emperor. His strength is unfathomable, and he is probably not inferior to the current Chi Ming Heavenly Emperor. He is the target I am pursuing," Han Li said.

Lu Tianxiang, Yun Miaoyi, Jiang Baiye, and Gongsun Yue all spoke up. Gongsun Yue was the most emotional, as her martial arts cultivation was similar to that of Guanghan Immortal Emperor, albeit at a lower level. If one were to compare, it would be a branch of the Great Dao under the Guanghan Immortal Emperor's cultivation.

"Didn't I tell you before that I encountered a mysterious expert when I traveled through the Yuan Kun Domain?" Han Li continued. "That mysterious expert was named Changxi and told me many secret messages. Her strength is unfathomable, and I suspect she is a female Immortal Emperor."

"Seeing this moon today, I suddenly remembered that Changxi might be Guanghan Immortal Emperor."

Han Li's expression was somewhat strange as he spoke.

In his memories from his previous life, Guanghan was indeed related to Changxi and the moon, but this was the Tai Chu World, and he couldn't be sure of the relevance.

"I see."

The four women suddenly realized and exchanged a few words in a low voice, but they didn't ask any more questions.

After enjoying the moon, Han Li went to find Zi Miaozhen, Ji Mingyue, Yuan Youwei, and other women. He also visited Yuan Weiyang, Huang Hongshang, Feng Mian, and other beautiful wives.

Finally, he entered the Time Tower and participated in the daily Dao Conference.

The Time Tower had now evolved into a Golden Immortal soldier, and its power had increased countless times. On the fifteenth floor, one day inside was equivalent to a hundred years outside.

Since the evolution of the Time Tower, Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could communicate with all his wives and concubines about the Dao every day.

However, Han Li was more restrained. He divided his wives and concubines into several groups and only discussed the Dao with one group each day.

The morning sun shone on the sacred land of the Chengsheng Mountain. After completing his daily self-reflection, Han Li appeared at the peak of the Chengdao Peak, sitting cross-legged, absorbing the morning glow and purple qi.

Although it didn't have much effect on him, it was just for show, to prove that Han Li was diligently cultivating every day.

In the morning, Han Li was still leisurely.

After the development of the Han Mansion in Chengsheng Mountain, Han Li no longer needed to worry about it as he had continuously adjusted the rules and regulations and established a complete development cycle.

As long as it continued to develop step by step, it would meet Han Li's requirements.

Thinking that he would soon enter the Great Dao Palace, Han Li didn't know how long it would take. He sent a message to his wives and concubines to explain the situation, and called many core disciples of Chengsheng Mountain to give them a lecture.

Unknowingly, it was already noon.

In a certain place in the Eternal Ancient Realm, the magnificent and ancient Great Dao Palace appeared, immediately attracting the attention of countless Immortal Emperors.

In the next moment, the Great Dao Palace emitted boundless Dao light, sprinkling towards the myriad of heavens and worlds. Among them, twenty-six strands of Dao light descended to the Tai Chu Realm, then disappeared without a trace, even Immortal Emperors couldn't trace the owner of the Great Dao Order.

In the Yuan Kun Domain, on Chengsheng Mountain.

Han Li had already taken out the Great Dao Order. When the time came, a resounding ancient Dao sound reached his ears.

A strand of Dao light quietly fell on the Great Dao Order, activating it. Immediately, it carried Han Li and disappeared from the peak of the Chengdao Peak, entering the Great Dao Palace.

Great Dao Palace.

A strand of Dao light flashed, and Han Li's figure appeared. He casually swept his gaze around and found that there were already many cultivators around him, and strands of Dao light were descending, with each cultivator separated by ten zhang.

After a moment, no more Dao light fell. The 129,600 cultivators participating in the grand event of the Great Dao Palace had all entered, scattered in all directions.

Han Li's appearance and aura had changed since he was on Chengsheng Mountain. He used a secret technique taught by Changxi. In this Great Dao Palace, only those True Immortals would probably not be able to see through his true identity.

At this moment, he carefully observed the situation inside the Great Dao Palace. His eyebrows couldn't help but furrow. It seemed that the test of the Great Dao Palace this time had indeed changed from what Changxi had said.

He stood in a vast and boundless world, unable to see the end even with his strength. In the center of this world, there was a majestic altar divided into nine layers, emitting a vast and grand aura.

Han Li was far away from the nine-layered altar, and not only him, but all the geniuses and monsters from the myriad of heavens and worlds were also very far away from the nine-layered altar. All the cultivators were distributed in all directions, and in front of them was an ancient road leading to the nine-layered altar.

After understanding the situation, most of the tens of thousands of geniuses and monsters were dumbfounded. Some of the means they had carefully prepared could not be used, only a few of them remained calm.

Although the tests of the Great Dao Palace in the past might be different, they would not be completely different.

According to the process, the test of the Great Dao Palace was divided into four steps, and each step passed would bring corresponding opportunities and fortunes.

Generally speaking, the first step of the Great Dao Palace's test was fixed and rarely changed, only the following three tests would be replaced.

But now, even the first step of the test had changed.

This meant that the test of the Great Dao Palace this time would be more difficult than before, but correspondingly, the opportunities and fortunes obtained after passing would be better.

Han Li furrowed his eyebrows, silently retreating behind the crowd.

Looking at the dense crowd in front of him and the nine-layered altar, Han Li sighed inwardly. These geniuses and monsters from the myriad of heavens and worlds had truly formidable strength.

There were 16,200 geniuses and monsters in each of the eight regions, and each one was at the peak of True Immortal, without exception. Most of them emitted a powerful aura, with only a few keeping their aura hidden.

There was no doubt that these True Immortal powerhouses who obtained the Great Dao Order and entered the Great Dao Palace all possessed the battle power of the Golden Immortal Realm.

The cultivators who come here undoubtedly have a common goal, which is to obtain opportunities and fortunes in the Great Dao Palace.

Most people are self-aware and only aim to pass the third test, hoping to gain more opportunities and fortunes. A small number of cultivators, however, have their eyes on the fourth test, which is their goal in entering the Great Dao Palace.

Legend has it that passing the fourth test can obtain an incredible fortune related to the fourth step. However, throughout history, no genius has successfully passed it, so no one knows if it's true.

The Great Dao Palace is full of opportunities and fortunes. In addition to the fortunes of the fourth step, there are countless Quasi-Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor level opportunities and fortunes. Anything you can think of, the Great Dao Palace has it, at least at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

"I finally arrived at the Great Dao Palace. I wonder what the test is. I just hope to pass the first test and obtain a Quasi-Immortal Emperor level fortune, laying the foundation for my Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao."

"Tsk, you have no ambition. Someone once obtained the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit in the Great Dao Palace, and after consuming it, they immediately became an Immortal Emperor. Don't you desire that?"

"The Great Dao Palace has endless fortunes and incredible opportunities. Anything you can't think of, you won't find it here. Some people have even obtained a half-step Profound Heaven treasure and became invincible after leaving, becoming a Heavenly Emperor in one realm."

Ahead, many cultivators are discussing and exchanging ideas. Cultivators from various realms spontaneously gather together, with few exceptions.

When they communicate, they don't deliberately conceal anything or think it's necessary to do so. Before entering the Great Dao Palace, everyone has already understood various legends and precautions. It's just something to talk about.

Han Li raised an eyebrow. He didn't know about these things. Chang Xi didn't tell him about them. She only mentioned important information.

At this moment, cold and indifferent voices resounded through the heavens and earth, echoing.

"Welcome to the Great Dao Palace."

"Holding the Great Dao Token to enter the Great Dao Palace is an opportunity in itself and will grant you a fortune. No participant will leave empty-handed."

"The place you are in now is a training ground I have created, vast and boundless, with rules and restrictions. No cultivator can break the rules, or they will be punished by me."

"In any area or test within the Great Dao Palace, the highest realm allowed is the peak of True Immortal. No cultivator can break through to a higher realm. Violators will be punished."

"The tests in the Great Dao Palace are divided into four steps. Each step passed will grant a great opportunity and fortune. If you fail to pass, as long as you reach a certain level, you can still obtain some opportunities and fortunes."

"The first test is the Great Dao Altar. Cultivators from various realms enter the eight ancient paths in their respective areas and ascend the Great Dao Altar."

"Each time you ascend a level of the Great Dao Altar, you will be eligible to receive a fortune. After reaching the ninth level, it will be considered as passing the first test and obtaining a great opportunity and fortune."

"Note: In each test, each cultivator can only obtain one fortune. Even if you ascend to a higher level, you cannot obtain a better fortune from a lower level."

"Each cultivator entering the Great Dao Palace can obtain a maximum of four fortunes. Please remember this, all cultivators."

"Note: In the Great Dao Palace, fighting and killing for fortunes is not prohibited. All cultivators should protect themselves."

"Note: After obtaining a fortune, participants can choose to quit and not continue with the subsequent tests. Participants who quit are protected by the Great Dao Palace and killing or robbing them is prohibited."

A restless commotion spread throughout the vast world. Although most geniuses were already familiar with the rules of the Great Dao Palace, they still felt a bit startled upon hearing them.

Even the way they looked at other cultivators beside them changed. Even if they didn't want to kill or rob other cultivators' fortunes, they had to prevent other cultivators from doing the same to them.

Han Li's slightly furrowed brow relaxed. He stood at the back of all the cultivators, almost invisible.

"Can you only obtain four fortunes in the Great Dao Palace?"

Han Li's eyes flickered as he thought about the rules that followed. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "I hope they don't provoke me."

The Great Dao Palace does not prohibit killing and looting, which is equivalent to indirectly encouraging all cultivators to fight. As long as they don't die, they will have at least some chance of fortune.

According to the rules of the Great Dao Palace, even the worst fortune would be at the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. If a rogue accidentally enters, they only need to receive the opportunity to enter and then choose to withdraw to leave unscathed.

If they choose to continue, before reaching a certain stage or passing the test, if they are killed by other cultivators, then the fortune will belong to someone else.

Han Li temporarily didn't want to go on a killing spree, as it would expose his strength and attract the attention of all cultivators. He planned to keep a low profile for now.

The geniuses participating in the grand event of the Great Dao Palace come from the myriad realms of the heavens. There are the supreme geniuses of this world, as well as the reincarnations of some powerful beings, such as Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings.

They have reached the limit of their realm, and it is difficult for them to break through further. As long as they calculate the timing correctly, they can reincarnate hundreds or thousands of years in advance and reach the peak of True Immortal cultivation again to participate in the grand event of the Great Dao Palace.

As long as they stand out from the Great Dao Palace and obtain incredible opportunities, they can defy fate and climb to higher realms in this life.

There are also Quasi-Immortal Emperors who reincarnate and participate in the Great Dao Palace, but they are rare. Even if they obtain incredible opportunities from the Great Dao Palace, it is not certain that they will cultivate to become Quasi-Immortal Emperors. Who knows if accidents will happen along the way.

There are even fewer Immortal Emperors who reincarnate. Each time the Great Dao Palace opens, there will not be more than ten confirmed to be the reincarnations of Immortal Emperors. It is too dangerous.

Instead of seeking the greatest opportunities in the Great Dao Palace through reincarnation, it is better to preserve their cultivation strength and participate in other opportunities and competitions. The myriad realms of the heavens contain more than just the fourth step of incredible opportunities found in the Great Dao Palace.

In addition, there is another type of cultivator among the geniuses participating in the Great Dao Palace, those who have participated in the grand event more than once.

Immortal cultivators can achieve eternal life only when they reach the Golden Immortal Realm, without any lifespan restrictions. However, the Great Dao Palace has limitations and only cultivators below the Golden Immortal Realm can participate.

As for the peak of True Immortal cultivation, they only have a lifespan of one hundred epochs. They can live for a long time, but not forever.

Even if they use life-extending treasures to prolong their lives and live for more epochs, or even live for one or two more lives, it is meaningless.

The Great Dao Palace appears too infrequently, with one occurrence every three thousand six hundred epochs. True Immortals do not have such a long lifespan to wait for the Great Dao Palace to reappear.

However, Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors do.

Those peak True Immortals who can participate in the Great Dao Palace are undoubtedly supreme geniuses and extraordinary beings. It doesn't take much time for them to cultivate to the peak of True Immortal.

If they want to participate in the next Great Dao Palace, and if there are Quasi-Immortal Emperors or Immortal Emperors willing to help, they can seal them until the Great Dao Palace appears again.

After being sealed by Quasi-Immortal Emperors or Immortal Emperors, their lifespan will pass a thousand or ten thousand times faster, allowing them to participate in the Great Dao Palace multiple times.

The prerequisite is that they have the qualifications and strength to do so. Otherwise, Quasi-Immortal Emperors or Immortal Emperors would not lend a helping hand. Cultivators who cannot go far in the Great Dao Palace would have no effect even if they enter multiple times.

Because they want to participate in the grand event of the Great Dao Palace multiple times, there is also a restriction, which is to give up the opportunities obtained each time.

No cultivator can take advantage of the Great Dao Palace and expect to obtain better opportunities next time without giving up the current ones.

Just as Han Li's thoughts were flowing, the voice of the Great Dao Palace's Dao Spirit sounded again.

"The test begins!"
