Chapter 579 - 230: Han Laozu Gets Married Again! The Blissful Ji Mingyue! Treasure Chest Explosion, the Second Immortal Weapon Obtained!_1

After half a month, Han Li decided to give Ji Mingyue and Yuan Youwei some peace and quiet, offering them a full day to consider their options thoroughly.

When the time came, Han Li planned to seek them out for a heart-to-heart about their life’s aspirations. If they still didn’t get the hint and willingly submit, Old Ancestor Han was ready to resort to force.

His patience was not infinite, and the only reason he had afforded Ji Mingyue and Yuan Youwei so much time was out of respect for their statuses as the female saint of the Holy Abyss Realm and the female emperor of the Quasi Emperor’s domain. Once his patience ran out, he would make the two women understand the consequences of defying him.

Chengdao Peak, Cloud View Terrace.

Ji Mingyue’s green garments fluttered in the wind, her figure tall and graceful, her face stunningly beautiful, and her aura otherworldly;

Next to her, Yuan Youwei was dressed in a purple gown, her slender and exquisite figure accentuated by its curves, as if a banished immortal had descended to the earthly realm.

At this moment, Ji Mingyue and Yuan Youwei were both quietly watching the undulating sea of clouds, neither speaking a word, yet the atmosphere was decidedly tense.

“Sigh~”

With a long sigh, Ji Mingyue turned to look at Yuan Youwei, her lips pressed tightly together, remaining silent for a long time before finally asking, “What do you plan to do?”

Ji Mingyue’s mind was in turmoil, experiencing a sense of helplessness for the first time. Even when previously suppressed by Han Li, she had remained somewhat composed because she had the strong backing of the Huangyue Imperial Empire in her heart.

But as she followed Han Li and Zimei throughout Chengsheng Mountain this past half-month, witnessing the mountain’s various resources and foundations, Ji Mingyue’s confidence began to shatter, step by step.

Today, she was left with no confidence at all—only shock, panic, desperation, and regret…

While Chengsheng Mountain might fall short of the Huangyue Imperial Empire in many aspects, it was not inferior when it came to the most crucial aspect: immortal soldiers.

Fallen into Han Li’s hands, it would be extremely difficult for the Huangyue Empress to rescue her.

The Huangyue Empress wouldn’t be able to locate Chengsheng Mountain easily, and even if she did, she couldn’t just annihilate it.

Giving Han Li, and Chengsheng Mountain time would see the rise of a new supreme being in the Endless Yuankun Domain and the emergence of a formidable force.

Ji Mingyue finally understood why her nemesis Zimei had submitted, willing to become Han Li’s Dao companion.

Although Han Li hadn’t said it outright, both Ji Mingyue and Yuan Youwei knew his intention to have them both as his Dao companions.

Han Li’s actions these past days aimed at conquering without a fight.

Indeed, this had a significant effect, at least shaking the steadfast belief in Ji Mingyue’s heart.

“Ji Mingyue, you’re wavering,” Yuan Youwei said indifferently.

“Han Li is just a small cultivator at the first layer of the Tongxuan Realm, and you’re a female saint of the fourth layer of the Holy Abyss Realm. Surely you don’t intend to surrender yourself to him? Ridiculous!”

Yuan Youwei stared directly into Ji Mingyue’s beautiful eyes, causing Ji Mingyue to avert her gaze, though such thoughts indeed had crossed her mind.

“Ji Mingyue, I urge you to think it over carefully; Han Li is not worthy of you,” Yuan Youwei continued.

“Whether Han Li is a reincarnation of an immortal or has risen suddenly due to finding an immortal treasure and possessing his current formidable resources, you must remember that he is ultimately just at the first layer of the Tongxuan Realm.”

“With the disappearance of Zimei, you, and me all at once in the Qianyuan Divine Province, it will undoubtedly cause a stir. Han Li won’t be able to hide it, and once Yuanchu Mountain, Huangyue Imperial Empire, and White Emperor City all set their sights on him, how will Han Li withstand their pressure?”

Yuan Youwei turned away, looking at the vast sea of clouds with her slender, fair hands clasped behind her back, and spoke lightly:

“I admit Han Li’s resources were beyond my expectations, but that’s all. He doesn’t stand a chance against the three paramount forces. The Path-seeking Sword, no matter how powerful, cannot withstand the attack from three True Immortal weapons, let alone the fact that the three paramount forces possess over ten Heavenly Immortal weapons.”

“And don’t forget, Han Li’s Chengsheng Mountain is also a target for all in the Qianyuan Divine Province. Right now, its surface may seem splendid, but once exposed, schools such as Bai Yujing, Xumi Mountain, and Penglai Immortal Sect will also join the attack, and Chengsheng Mountain won’t be able to withstand it.”

“If you marry Han Li as a Dao companion, that would mean betraying the Huangyue Imperial Empire, forsaking the Huangyue Empress, and wallowing with Zimei in infamy. When Chengsheng Mountain falls, you too will be held accountable.”

“Even if you’re lucky enough to survive, you’ll face severe punishment and your future will be ruined. For the sake of Han Li, for a brief respite, is it really worth it?”

After saying her piece, Yuan Youwei no longer paid attention to Ji Mingyue, instead enjoying the scenery by herself, as if her Dao heart was undisturbed by the crisis at hand.

In truth, Yuan Youwei also had her own considerations but had dismissed them after weighing the pros and cons. She believed more in Yuanchu Mountain and Empress Yuanchu than in Chengsheng Mountain or Han Li.

Han Li’s cultivation was too low, and even with boundless potential and a limitless future, he had not yet matured and would easily be suppressed by the three supreme beings.

Whether it was Zimei, Ji Mingyue, or herself, each was connected to a powerful force behind them. Should that connection be severed for too long, it would attract the search and vengeance of those forces.

At that time, Han Li’s Chengsheng Mountain would have nowhere to hide and would fall into the predicament Yuan Youwei described. Chengsheng Mountain simply didn’t have enough time to expand, and Yuan Youwei had no desire to be buried alongside Han Li.

She was a Quasi Emperor, with a bright future ahead of her; she aspired to advance to the Heaven Imperial Realm, wield the Heavenly Sovereign Path, ascend to emperorship, and become the exalted empress of the Endless Yuankun Domain.

Speaking so much to Ji Mingyue wasn’t because Yuan Youwei was kind-hearted or had a relationship with Ji Mingyue. Yuan Youwei merely wanted to bring Ji Mingyue along to buy more time, at least to make Han Li wary and hesitant.
