Chapter 52: Being Versatile

Inside the cave, in the seclusion chamber.

Han Li furrowed his brows slightly. Although he was in seclusion, he always had a spiritual sense monitoring the movements inside and outside the cave.

"Who would come to find me?"

This thought crossed Han Li's mind as his spiritual sense probed outside the cave, and he immediately saw a stunning figure.

The person who arrived was dressed in a purple palace gown, tall and outstanding, with delicate and beautiful features. Her purple hair floated in the air, exuding a cold and ethereal aura, like an orchid in a secluded valley, unparalleled and independent.

"Gongsun Yue?"

Although he had never seen this woman before, Han Li knew that the Sect Master had a daughter named Gongsun Yue, who was considered a goddess in the hearts of countless disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.

To be able to come to his cave on the Tianxuan Peak, she must be the Sect Master's daughter.

The two of them had never had any interaction before, so why did Gongsun Yue come to find him?

Retracting his spiritual sense, Han Li did not end his seclusion but continued to cultivate. If Gongsun Yue didn't leave, he could go out later.

Outside the cave, Gongsun Yue furrowed her eyebrows. She transmitted her voice through her spiritual sense into the cave. Han Li should have heard it, but why was there no response?

Was he in deep seclusion? Or was he not in the cave?

After waiting for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, there was still no movement inside the cave. Gongsun Yue took a deep look at the cave and turned to leave.

On the peak of the Tianxuan Mountain, the father and daughter met again.

Gongsun Yun stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the magnificent mountains and rivers. He took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "Yuer, have you made your decision?"

Beside him, Gongsun Yue was exquisitely beautiful, with a radiant figure. Her purple hair fluttered, and her purple dress danced as if she wanted to ride the wind and turn into a Celestial Immortal.

A smile appeared on Gongsun Yue's face. Instead of answering, she asked, "I heard that father recently accepted a disciple named Han Li?"

"It's true."

"Why?"

"Acting on impulse."

"Why?"

"This person has a connection with me."

"Why?"

Gongsun Yun turned his head to look at his stubborn daughter and sighed, "The Tianxuan Sect needs an heir, and Han Li can live longer."

This was what he thought in his heart. If the Tianxuan Sect were to be destroyed in this calamity, Han Li would inherit the legacy of the Tianxuan Sect and have the ability to rebuild it.

As for whether Han Li would die or not?

Gongsun Yun felt that even if he died, Han Li would not die.

This disciple of his was too good at surviving!

In these past few days, Gongsun Yun had come to understand this closed-door disciple quite well. The more he understood, the more reassured he felt.

Han Li was a very stable person, able to remain calm, and had a well-organized approach to things. He was cautious and knew how to hide his abilities. Most importantly, he was good at surviving.

In the more than seventy years since he left Lingjun City, Han Li had rarely left the mountain, rarely stepping out of the sect. He could be called a perfect undefeated warrior.

The most impressive thing was when Han Li heard Qiu Shuilin mention the White Lotus Sect. His brows furrowed, and he immediately retreated behind everyone else, knowing that the situation was not favorable. He was the fastest to run away. This level of stability was simply astonishing.

Now that Han Li had the opportunity, Gongsun Yun had taught him everything he needed to know and paved the way for him. As long as Han Li continued to cultivate, it would not be difficult for him to achieve the mastery of the Empty Void Sect.

Originally, he had hoped to rely on his daughter, Gong Sun Yue, but she was stubborn and unwilling to seek refuge in Tai Xuan Sect. She wanted to stay with her family.

The inheritance of Tian Xuan Mountain cannot be broken in his hands. Otherwise, he would have no face to face the ancestors of the past generations. Fortunately, Han Li appeared at this time, and all aspects of his conditions were quite suitable. He simply entrusted the important task of passing on the inheritance to Han Li, without explicitly stating it.

Otherwise, he would have just been a closed-door disciple. Why would he give such a generous gift to his master?

"A mere Sea Opening Realm, only three hundred years, how can one live for a long time?" Gong Sun Yue frowned, not believing this statement.

Gong Sun Yun laughed and shook his head. "You, you are still too young."

"Is Han Li a Vital Spirit Realm?" Gong Sun Yue asked again.

Gong Sun Yun smiled and remained silent. Since he promised Han Li not to spread it casually, he would keep his word.

Time passed, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Tian Xuan Peak, a long-sealed cave, opened, and a handsome figure walked out.

"Hoo~"

Arriving at the back mountain, Han Li stood on a huge rock with a smile on his face.

Since Gong Sun Yue came to disturb him once, no one else had come to disturb him. Han Li focused on cultivation and spent half a year to finally complete the conversion of his techniques. Even the Yin Yang Great Handprint had been mastered.

The Xuan Tian Fist and the Divine Sword Technique were of higher grades and more profound, but he also gained some insights. He believed that with a little more time, it wouldn't be difficult to master them.

Compared to before returning to Tian Xuan Mountain, his strength had increased two or three times. When he successfully cultivated both techniques, his strength would increase again.

By then, he might be able to confront ordinary Soul Refining Realm cultivators.

After taking a breath and enjoying the beautiful scenery, Han Li was ready to return to the cave to continue his closed-door cultivation.

But a figure blocked his way.

Han Li stopped and looked at the stunning figure in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed, not knowing why Gong Sun Yue had come to find him again.

Gong Sun Yue's beauty was not inferior to the Lin sisters, Lin Yi Wu and Lin Yi Yin, but so what?

Han Li knew his own limitations. Gong Sun Yue was not like the Lin sisters, who had no one to rely on. She was the daughter of the Sect Master of Tian Xuan Mountain, with outstanding aptitude and a Vital Spirit Realm cultivator. How could she easily marry him and bear his children?

Even if he displayed his cultivation, it was not certain that he could pursue Gong Sun Yue.

So Han Li had no intention of wasting time on her. With the time he spent pursuing Gong Sun Yue, he could marry many concubines and have many offspring. Perhaps he could even break through to the Soul Refining Realm.

"Sister Gong Sun?" Han Li spoke up, confirming once again.

The cold and stunning Gong Sun Yue nodded slightly and said, "I heard that Junior Brother Han has profound cultivation and outstanding strength, and is quite knowledgeable in the ways of health and longevity. You are a remarkable talent, so I came to meet you."

Junior Brother? Well, let's just say that.

Han Li didn't dwell on this title and shook his head, saying, "Sister, where did you hear these rumors?"

"Who in the sect doesn't know that my lifespan is short? My strength is not worth mentioning, just an ordinary person. How can I be considered remarkable?" Han Li smiled bitterly, his tone sincere.

He just wanted to send Gong Sun Yue away as soon as possible and then return to his closed-door cultivation. Once he succeeded, he would leave the mountain and return to Lingjun City. It was really difficult to endure the days without a beloved wife or concubines. It would be hard to be a pillar of support.

Upon hearing this, Gong Sun Yue's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She couldn't see anything special about Han Li, and his tone seemed sincere, not like he was pretending. Could it be that her father had misjudged him?

Or was Han Li's disguise too clever?

Gong Sun Yue decided to further test him. If Han Li was really just an ordinary person, the sect's inheritance must not be entrusted to him.

Just as she was about to speak, Han Li said, "I heard that Sister has a bad temper and doesn't respond well to soft approaches. So, do you prefer hard approaches or soft approaches?"

Seeing that Gong Sun Yue was blocking his way, Han Li couldn't do anything to her, so he could only play along.

"I can handle both." Gong Sun Yue felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't figure out what it was. She said coldly.
