The fact that three top sects submitted to him showed how powerful the youth was.
"Your Majesty, according to the current construction progress, it will only take a year to build the imperial palace according to your requirements."
The celestial and divine powerhouses who should have been aloof were standing with slight bows beside the Great Li King.
"Hmm, acceptable."
"How is the negotiation with the Yu Ding Sect?"
The youth had sharp sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his gaze filled with an arrogant disdain for everything.
"The Ninth Elder has already gone to inquire, and we should have news soon."
As soon as the person finished speaking, the Ninth Elder, clad in a black robe, flew over from a distance.
Landing before the youth, the Ninth Elder respectfully cupped his fists in greeting, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Speak, does the Yu Ding Sect submit or wish to fight?" the Great Li King asked indifferently.
The Ninth Elder lowered his cupped hands, "Replying to Your Majesty, the Yu Ding Sect actually has another master. The current Sect Master of Yu Ding is merely a puppet controlled by someone else!"
The Great Li King's eyes showed a flicker of interest, "Is that so? Who is controlling the Yu Ding Sect from behind the scenes?"
"I do not know yet. That person is currently on his way back."
"I have already left word for the Yu Ding Sect, asking that person to come and meet me voluntarily. If not, they will bear the consequences."
Hearing the Ninth Elder's words, the Great Li King nodded slightly, "Well done. This is how the majesty of my Great Li Dynasty is displayed."
"Your Majesty possesses great wisdom and might, and your divine skills are peerless. We are fortunate to be able to follow you; it is truly a supreme destiny."
A slightly overweight old man bowed and flattered.
The Great Li King was very pleased with this. He nodded and said, "Well said. What about the imperial concubines I asked you to prepare for me?"
"The selection ceremony can be held in three years, at which time Your Majesty can choose his concubines."
"These women are fortunate enough to serve Your Majesty; it is a blessing cultivated over ten lifetimes."
The Great Li King laughed with great satisfaction, "Prepare them well, and you will be the generals, marquises, and kings of my Great Li Dynasty then!"
...
The Eastern Extreme Domain was vast. Even with the use of teleportation arrays, Qin Han Chu took three years to return to Yu Ding City.
Upon his return to Yu Ding City, the Sect Master of Yu Ding and others rushed to welcome him.
Qin Han Chu sat down in the main hall and asked, "Tell me in detail about the Great Li Dynasty."
"The Great Li Dynasty was jointly founded by three top sects. In a short period, they have annexed five sects and dozens of cities."
"According to our intelligence, the Great Li Dynasty has at least over seventy celestial and divine powerhouses."
"A few top sects had previously joined forces to resist, but it wasn't long before some surrendered and others fled."
"This Great Li Dynasty is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface."
"By the way, I heard that the ruler of the Great Li Dynasty is a stranger, not someone from the three sects that founded the Great Li Dynasty."
"After all, the strength of those top sects was also considerable; they shouldn't have been so easily defeated."
The Sect Master of Yu Ding recounted the information he had gathered.
Qin Han Chu pondered in silence. This Great Li Dynasty was somewhat abnormal.
Even with his Void Law, he wasn't that overbearing.
Unless this King was a celestial and divine powerhouse possessing the Supreme Law.
But if that were the case, he would have simply declared it to the world.
The title of Supreme Celestial and Divine would be enough to attract many to pledge allegiance; why go through all this trouble?
Qin Han Chu knew he had to become a celestial and divine powerhouse himself, or it would be difficult to contend with this force.
"How many Life and Death Immortal Treasures have been collected over the years?" Qin Han Chu asked.
"They are all here."
The Sect Master of Yu Ding handed the collected resources to Qin Han Chu.
"Pack up. We are leaving this place temporarily."
The Great Li Dynasty would not give the Yu Ding Sect much time.
Sooner or later, they would come to force the Yu Ding Sect to submit.
Currently, Qin Han Chu was only a Celestial Saint. Even with his guard force, he was no match for the Great Li Dynasty.
Qin Han Chu decided to avoid the confrontation and wait until he ascended to Celestial and Divine to contend with the Great Li Dynasty.
"Yes!"
The Sect Master of Yu Ding and the others were not surprised, as they also felt it was not advisable to confront them head-on.
With seventy to eighty celestial and divine powerhouses on the other side, the Yu Ding Sect was by no means their match.
Leaving temporarily was the best option.
"Should we notify the Celestial Saints in the sect?" the Sect Master of Yu Ding asked.
"Ask them discreetly. If they are willing to leave with us, they can come along. There's no obligation."
Qin Han Chu was not particularly concerned about Celestial Saint level martial artists.
After a week, everyone finally finished packing.
The wealth and resources of the Yu Ding Sect were now in Qin Han Chu's hands.
Qin Han Chu first sent everyone to the Divine Continent Great World, and then he departed via the teleportation array from Yu Ding City.
The capital of the Great Li Dynasty.
The construction of the imperial city was still ongoing, but the imperial palace had already been completed.
The resplendent imperial palace floated in mid-air, emitting a golden glow, much like the legendary Heavenly Court.
On the palace roads, teams of guards in purple armor patrolled back and forth.
Just then, the Ninth Elder hurried into the main hall.
On the dragon throne, the Great Li King was enjoying himself with beauties on either side.
"Your Majesty, the celestial and divine powerhouse from the Yu Ding Sect has disappeared with the treasures."
A hint of coldness flashed in the Great Li King's eyes, "What do you mean disappeared? Didn't you send people to keep watch?"
"I did send people to watch the Yu Ding Sect, but they did not see the celestial and divine powerhouse of the Yu Ding Sect come out."
"It is likely that there is a teleportation array hidden within the Yu Ding Sect," the Ninth Elder replied fearfully.
"Never mind, let them escape."
"Send people to take over the territory of the Yu Ding Sect."
"Where are the dancers? Come up and perform!"
The Great Li King leaned back on his dragon throne languidly, speaking as if indulging in a life of debauchery.
The Ninth Elder did not dare to disturb the Great Li King's pleasure and quickly withdrew.
Leaving Yu Ding City, Qin Han Chu returned all the way to the Flying Immortal Sect in the Demon Cloud Domain.
"For now, you will join the Flying Immortal Sect. Once I break through my cultivation, I will consider the matter of the Great Li Dynasty."
After teleporting out the Sect Master of Yu Ding, the City Lord of Beixi, and others, Qin Han Chu said.
"Understood. We will guard you here," the Sect Master of Yu Ding replied.
Qin Han Chu nodded and said to the Sect Master of Flying Immortal, "Take good care of them."
"I will certainly host them well."
"Here are the Life and Death Immortal Treasures and Reincarnation Immortal Treasures collected by the sect."
The Sect Master of Flying Immortal was very shocked at this moment. He had not expected Qin Han Chu to bring back so many celestial and divine powerhouses.
With the addition of these celestial and divine powerhouses, the Flying Immortal Sect would undoubtedly be the strongest super sect in the Demon Cloud Domain.
"Keep an eye on the movements of the Great Li Dynasty. If they show any signs of expanding into the Demon Cloud Domain, immediately contact the surrounding sects to discuss an alliance."
Given the expansion speed of the Great Li Dynasty, they would soon unify the Eastern Extreme Domain.
Once the Eastern Extreme Domain was unified, they would likely expand into regions like the Demon Cloud Domain.
The Flying Immortal Sect was Qin Han Chu's last stronghold in the Heavenly Desolation Main Realm, and he would not give it up again.
With the accumulation of the past, plus the Life and Death Immortal Treasures collected for him by the Yu Ding Sect and the Flying Immortal Sect, Qin Han Chu had a high probability of becoming a celestial and divine powerhouse.
