Ling Han said, “My three brothers, these are all just trivial matters. Today, we are pleased, so let’s not speak of this sort of thing. We will drink and only stop when we are all drunk!”
“We will get thoroughly drunk!” Feng Po Yun and the others were all open-minded people, and immediately raised their cups and drank heartily.
It was rare that Ling Han would get himself drunk. When he awoke on the morning of the second day, he realized he was lying on the bed, and there was a ravishingly beautiful seductive beauty in his arms. Who else could it be but Shui Yanyu?
He turned pale with fright, and asked, “Did we do ‘that’ yesterday?”
Shui Yanyu was both embarrassed and irritated. She rolled her eyes at him, and said, “You got drunk yesterday, and I helped you into the room. However, you kept holding onto me and wouldn’t let go no matter what, so I could only stay by your side.”
In other words, he had been so drunk that he couldn’t even do anything.
Ling Han let out a sigh in relief, and said, “Good, good. If the first time happened in such a muddle-headed manner, that would be too much of a loss!”
Pa!
Shui Yanyu immediately threw a pillow over, which pounded into his face.
“Aiyo, I say, Wife, was it because that I did not do you yesterday that you are currently dissatisfied and resentful?” Ling Han asked, smiling.
Shui Yanyu was about to explode in anger. This lecher, this damn pervert!! He actually had the face to say that? Shua, shua, shua. Whatever she could grab, she threw over. At first, it was the other pillow, followed by the blanket. Then, she even tossed the cup and the saucer at Ling Han.
Meanwhile, Ling Han quickly caught the projectiles, and threw them onto the bed. When Shui Yanyu realized that there was nothing else she could throw, he chuckled and pounced on her, pushing Shui Yanyu down, and imprisoning this seductive beauty beneath his own body.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I am really too amazed with myself!” he said in self-satisfaction.
“Amazed with what?” Shui Yanyu was uncomfortable underneath his weight, her eyes soft. Even her delicate body had turned to water, soft and weak.
“Due to my earnest, hard work, this place of yours seems to have gotten slightly bigger!” Ling Han laughed naughtily. With a gentle squeeze, Shui Yanyu released a captivating moan.
“Damn pervert!” Shui Yanyu felt like she was going to die from blushing. Why did this villain always like to grab her breasts? Weren’t they just a couple lumps of flesh? Were the other parts of her body not considered flesh, then?
“Wu!” Her mutterings were lost underneath Ling Han’s burning kiss. Very quickly, Ling Han ignited her passion, and she entwined her jade-like arms around Ling Han’s neck, passionately kissing back.
Bang, bang, bang. It was just at this crucial moment that a knock sounded at the door.
Ling Han was greatly irritated. Who was it? He had just been planning to devour this bewitching vixen.
“Little Han, wake up and go to the toilet!” Helian Tianyun’s snicker rang out from behind the door.
F***, he knew that it had to be this old pervert!
Ling Han sighed. Looking at Shui Yanyu who was rapidly entering into a daze, he knew that he would not be able to devour this bewitching vixen today. Furthermore, this woman was extremely shy, so she would probably be avoiding him as much as possible in the next several days. If he wanted to devour her, he would have to wait a few more days.
Forget it, he should deal with serious matters first.
Ling Han went out, and called over his three brothers, Ding Ping, and Helian Tianyun. Then, he began to teach them the cultivation techniques of the Immortal Realm.
It would not be proper for Ling Han to teach them the Universal Eight Desolation Technique privately before he had gotten permission from Old Man Xu, as the latter had been the one who had taught him. Thus, the cultivation technique he taught Helian Tianyun was what he had managed to obtain at the auction. Though it was not the highest-level cultivation technique, it was definitely better than what he had obtained at the Scarlet Heaven Academy.
…Additionally, he could not privately teach them the cultivation technique of the Scarlet Heaven Academy, either. There was a ban on such actions. Aside from that, Ling Han had not been able to afford redeeming higher-level cultivation techniques.
“My three Brothers, you were not the main lead in opening the sky, so your strength could not possibly reach 20 stars, but you will still be able to reach 18-19 stars. I hope that you all can cultivate until you feel like you can advance no further before attempting to break through to the Immortal level,” Ling Han said.
“En!” Feng Po Yun and the others nodded. All of them were men of ambition, and were thus naturally unwilling to be ordinary Immortals. If they were going to cultivate, they would become invincible among others of the same cultivation level.
This time, it was not like when Ling Han had first entered into Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, when he did not have any cultivation resources on hand at all. On the contrary, this time, the things Ling Han produced were not the slightest bit inferior to what an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier could take out.
After all, they were just ultimate treasures for the Mortal Realm, so no matter how expensive they were, there was a limit to their price. Moreover, the Jade Heaven Pills that Ling Han concocted were a very profitable business; the rate at which he earned money from it was shocking.
Meanwhile, Helian Tianyun sighed. He was a descendant of the Dragon Race, and had an advantage in terms of bloodline. He had not been in the Immortal Realm for many days before he had broken through to the Immortal level with the aid of his bloodline. Thus, he had not cultivated his strength to the maximum, and this made him feel slight regret.
Unfortunately, he could not possibly abandon this life for this reason and resurrect himself for a third time, could he? Where would there be so many ultimate treasures for him to squander? Treasures that could allow the soul to reincarnate were pitifully limited even in the Immortal Realm.
Thankfully, strength of 16 stars could not be considered weak, either. After all, the Shattering Void Tier was only one stage on the path of cultivation, and it alone could not possibly decide the future of a cultivator.
Ling Han handed out the resources generously. He wanted to help his three brothers break through to the Immortal level in the shortest amount of time—and that was with the prerequisite that they had to temper their foundations to an incredibly stable, solid extent. After that, he turned his attention to Ding Ping.
He had indeed recognized this disciple, but he had not taught him for long. He was really too irresponsible as a master.
Thus, after deep self-reflection, he began to drill Ding Ping.
Ding Ping was having a miserable time. In the Black Tower, he screamed endlessly. His yells sounded so extremely tragic that anyone who heard him would shiver. That was how terrifying he sounded.
“In a few more days, the Reincarnation Tree would have completely matured!” Ling Han broke out in a grin. This was his greatest rare treasure!
To comprehend Dao underneath the Reincarnation Tree, every instant was an entire lifetime. This was practically cheating.
The cultivation of Origin Power and stamina could all be boosted with the help of alchemical pills and various natural treasures. In comprehension, though, one could only depend on oneself. The Reincarnation Tree, meanwhile, would endlessly shrink down the time that one would need to comprehend Dao, or rather, extend it.
“Master, can I rest for a while?” Ding Ping asked, grimacing. He was carrying a huge boulder on which Ling Han was seated. It was incomparably heavy, causing his arms to keep shaking.
That was because Ling Han was using the divine patterns of gravity. Of course, he was only using a little of their effect; Ding Ping, who was merely in the Spiritual Infant Tier, could not possibly bear the weight otherwise.
“No, run another three rounds!”
Chapter 1078 - Advancing through the Levels Rapidly

Ling Han would drill Ding Ping every day until the latter cried out in pain, but his improvement was also obvious. He did not know that possessing a certain kind of bloodline—or rather being born fortunate, and thus possessing some kind of powerful power—would allow his strength to burst a hundredfold over.
This was extremely terrifying. Merely this ability alone would allow him to possess battle prowess to surpass two stars in the Immortal level!
And that was an eternal boost!
The gap in strength between each sub-minor level and the next should be about 10 times. Thus, a burst of a hundredfold could compensate for the gap of two sub-minor levels. From this, it could also be clearly seen how massive the gap between each cultivation level in the Immortal level was. That was why there were so few geniuses that could surpass four stars, while five-star geniuses only existed in legends.
Ling Han wanted to squeeze out all of Ding Ping’s potential and train an awesome, brilliant disciple.
Four days later, the Reincarnation Tree finally matured completely. The treetop stretched out as wide as 300 meters, and there was the air of the Great Dao wandering about the leaves. It was mysterious, powerful, and ancient. Ling Han had obviously watched it grow, yet he felt an ancient, aged feeling from this great tree as if it had gone through millions and millions of years.
A Reincarnation Tree that required 12 trillion years to mature grew up just like that!
‘The Black Tower is even more awesome,’ Ling Han mused. His abrupt rise could not be separated from the help of the Black Tower. Otherwise, even if he had not died in his last life, he would now only be an Alchemy Emperor by now. In martial arts, however, his achievements would definitely be limited because the foundations he’d laid down in his early stages were really too terrible.
“This Reincarnation Tree had not grown naturally, but rather its growth had been expedited through my use of the mystical power of Source Power. Thus, the effects are slightly weaker.” Small Tower appeared, and explained to Ling Han, “Comprehending Dao underneath the tree is far from reaching the extent that one instant would be equivalent to a lifetime, but rather one day would equal a single year.”
That was already awesome enough!
“After another 10 years, the leaves can be plucked to be processed into tea leaves. The effects would be also better. You probably would be able to obtain the spiritual comprehension worth 10 years with a single cup.
“Unfortunately, my Source Power has been fully expended once more, and I can no longer expedite it further.”
Ling Han was already so nicely surprised there was no room for further happiness. He said, “Enough, enough. This is already awesome enough.”
“That is because you are a frog at the bottom of a well, so you do not know that there aren’t few treasures that can speed up the passage of time—” Small Tower probably had let its tongue slip once more, for it quickly fell silent. “I have to mend the Black Tower. If there’s nothing important, don’t come and bother me!”
As it said so, it disappeared in a flash, and no matter how much Ling Han summoned it, it was not willing to reappear.
“F***, I am the master, in any case. This is really too disrespectful!” Ling Han gritted his teeth. This Small Tower was really too much of a tsundere.
Never mind, he’d first improve the abilities of those around him!
Ling Han drew Shui Yanyu, Feng Po Yun, and the others into the Black Tower, and had them comprehend Dao under the Reincarnation Tree.
It was madness!
When one had reached the heights they had, what they lacked was the time to comprehend Dao, but underneath the Reincarnation Tree, one day would be equivalent to a year. What kind of concept was that? Really, even a dump pig would be able to become a true god with that!
At first, it was their comprehension of the profound secrets of heaven and earth that could not catch up with their advancement in Origin Power and stamina. Now, it was the exact opposite. Their spiritual cultivation had surpassed their physical cultivation, and it was their physical cultivation that was now holding them back.
Thankfully, Ling Han was the Alchemy Emperor. If his ordinary cultivation could not catch up, he only needed to take alchemical pills to speed it up. In any case, since he was comprehending Dao under the Reincarnation Tree, he had no fear that his cultivation level would advance too rapidly.
However, the first to break through was still Ling Han.
He was already at the peak stage of medium extreme, and now with the help of the Reincarnation Tree, the rate of his comprehension of Dao was practically like the speed of light.
If an ordinary genius wanted to take this step, they would need a few hundred years’ time at the very least. Even if Ling Han was a super genius, a few dozen years were still necessary, right? But underneath the Reincarnation Tree, a few dozen years would only become a few dozen days.
Most importantly, Ling Han still had the essence of the Demon Master in him, which solved the problem of accumulation of Origin Power. Working on two tasks at the same time, what need did he have to worry about his cultivation level not speeding up in advancement?
He drove the Cloud Piercing Shuttle out of the Great Ling Empire in advance, and headed to an empty, uninhabited plain to get through the heavenly tribulation.
Since there were dark currents in the Great Ling Empire, and some wanted to rebel, he would give them the opportunity. Otherwise, if these ambitious people hid themselves, the danger they presented when they exploded in the future would be even bigger than now.
Thus, Ling Han strictly sealed off news of his return. Now that he had to go through the heavenly tribulation, he naturally could not choose to do so in the Great Ling Empire.
Advancing a minor level, to the present Ling Han, was practically a kind of torture. He had to shatter his body and allow his godly bones to be tempered by the tribulation so that they could improve to another level. This caused him to shout repeatedly in agony. If Ding Ping had heard his screams, the former would definitely feel much better.
This freakish master could actually also experience a time when he would scream out so horribly.
After half a day, the heavenly tribulation dispersed. Ling Han used a drop of Indestructible True Fluid, and his body instantly recovered. He felt that his power had spiked drastically, and his Godly bones were incredibly hard, reaching the sturdiness of Level Four Godly metal.
“Now, though I am still unable to suppress an opponent at the peak stage of consummate level, I can still be completely unafraid of him. Even if I have to resort to a drawn-out battle, I would be able to wear him out to death!” Ling Han said, smiling.
His defenses, added with his recovery ability, were practically shameless. As long as they could not insta-kill him, his opponent would definitely lose hope.
Putting Ling Han aside, it would be the Rain Emperor who improved the fastest.
The height of his talent was almost no inferior to Ling Han’s. He was only not as fortunate as Ling Han had been, and had not obtained a Black Tower.
Two months later, the Rain Emperor’s power had advanced to 19 stars of the Shattering Void Tier!
The might of the Reincarnation Tree was on full display.
The Rain Emperor began to comprehend the secrets of Immortal level, and with Ling Han and Shui Yanyu as consultants, he would definitely be able to break through in a mere few days’ time with his talent… Of course, a few days of comprehending Dao under the Reincarnation Tree were equivalent to a few years of physically comprehending it.
Another dozen or so days later, Feng Po Yun’s power also advanced to 18 stars of Shattering Void Tier, whereas Murong Qing had 17 stars.
The gap between the four brothers’ talent could also be perceived from this. The Rain Emperor was practically as talented as Ling Han, Feng Po Yun was slightly inferior, and Murong Qing
was slightly inferior to Feng Po Yun.
But even so, Shui Yanyu still got a scare. This was power of 17 stars of the Shattering Void Tier. The battle prowess they could exhibit would at least be 22 stars, or perhaps even stronger than that 1 !
How many geniuses of such caliber could be found in the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire?
Yet the small Great Ling Empire actually had four of them!
Furthermore, Helian Tianyun had also reached 16 stars, which was still very frightening, while Ling Han’s disciple, Ding Ping, was also a little monster as he could increase his power a hundredfold. If he could also attain power of 18-19 stars of the Shattering Void Tier before he broke through, then when he broke into the Immortal level, his battle prowess might even be able to surpass six stars!
Six stars—just the thought of it was frightening to Shui Yanyu. That was because a five-star genius merely existed in legends, and now there had actually appeared a six-star genius?
Even Ling Han was no match for that!
Ling Han was not about to be jealous of his own disciple. Strength was merely the most important part of battle prowess, but not all it was about. He was sure that if the Rain Emperor battled Ding Ping on the same cultivation level, it would definitely be Ding Ping who would lose.
If it was against Ling Han, Ding Ping had even less hope for victory. His master’s freakish physique and recovery abilities could not be dealt with.
Additionally, Ling Han discovered that his present strength was increasing further and further.
The Nine Dragons Tyrant Body Art and Universal Eight Desolation Technique were both supreme techniques, allowing his stamina to burst and his Origin Power to become pure. Vaguely, his pure strength would reach the height of five stars.
Another several days later, the Rain Emperor, Feng Po Yun, and Murong Qing broke through into the Mountain River Tier one after another.
The Great Ling Empire finally looked a sliver what a Royal Empire should be like.
