Chapter 415 316: Coming Out of Seclusion

The Profound Celestial Alliance and the Immortal Sect have been mortal enemies since ancient times.

Han Yuan felt he could still make use of the Profound Celestial Alliance's power.

Besides, they were unlikely to refuse.

Yan Qingyu said softly, "Naturally, we won't just stand by and watch. If the Immortal Sect moves against you, it will likely be a High Priest, and they are our targets as well."

"If you spot an Immortal Sect High Priest, just crush that Broken Jade Pendant, and one of us will come."

"But it won't necessarily be me."

Hearing this, Han Yuan couldn't help but nod. "That works..."

For him, this was just an insurance policy.

In his heart, he hoped even more to rely on his own strength to fight an Immortal Sect High Priest.

He was currently at the Peak of Innate. One more step and he would be in the Divine Sea Realm.

At that point, he wouldn't be afraid even if an Immortal Sect High Priest came for him.

"Remember to be careful."

"And that box—do your best not to let anyone know it exists."

Yan Qingyu instructed.

"Don't worry."

Han Yuan nodded.

Only then did Yan Qingyu turn and leave the Heart-lock Cave.

As for Han Yuan, he took some Elixir Pills and sat cross-legged on the ground to heal his injuries.

He circulated the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Power, converting it into Yin Wood Evil Qi to enhance his life force and speed up his wound recovery.

In his recent battle with Situ Hui, if he hadn't possessed the Nine Mountains Heart Guarding Divine Skill at the Perfection level, he likely wouldn't have been able to hold on.

But even so, his internal injuries were extremely severe, with fractured bones and multiple terrifying wounds.

A day later, Han Yuan had only managed to get his injuries under initial control.

To fully recover, he would still need some time.

But Han Yuan knew he had to go out and give the people of the Great Demon Palace an explanation.

He took a deep breath, walked over to the coffin, and opened the lid.

Just as Situ Hui had said, the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill and several Secret Techniques were inside the coffin.

In addition, there was the Seal that represented the master of the Great Demon Palace.

Han Yuan picked up the Secret Manuals and the Seal, and then suspended the coffin.

This could be considered giving Situ Hui a dignified send-off.

After finishing all this, Han Yuan walked out of the Heart-lock Cave.

Outside the Heart-lock Cave, there was no one in sight.

But when Han Yuan passed through the gloomy tunnel and returned to the Great Demon Palace, he saw that all the Elders and disciples of the Great Demon Palace were waiting in the dark plaza.

At that moment, Han Yuan raised the Seal in his hand for them to see.

Seeing this, Song Chen didn't hesitate for a second and shouted, "We greet the Palace Master!"

Following his lead, all the Elders and disciples finally reacted, shouting in unison, "We greet the Palace Master!"

Regardless of what Situ Hui's true intentions were,

on the surface, he had summoned Han Yuan to the Heart-lock Cave.

Within the Great Demon Palace, this signified a transfer of power.

Situ Hui was willing to hand over the position of Palace Master to Han Yuan.

And Han Yuan's previous display of power when he killed Dong Sen and Zheng Xi had shown everyone in the Great Demon Palace his strength, so naturally, no one would question it.

Han Yuan smiled slightly upon seeing this.

...

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye after Han Yuan took over as the master of the Great Demon Palace.

The news had spread throughout the entire Great Li Dynasty.

For the first time, the name Han Yuan was being spoken across the Great Li Dynasty.

Many factions sent representatives with congratulatory gifts, including the Great Li Government Office.

However, Han Yuan used secluded cultivation as an excuse, letting Song Chen handle these miscellaneous affairs on his behalf.

By now, Han Yuan had fully recovered from his injuries and was in secluded cultivation in a secret chamber, seeking a breakthrough to the Divine Sea Realm.

He didn't know when the people from the Immortal Sect would come for him.

He had to seize this time and break through.

He had obtained the complete follow-up techniques for the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill. Now, he just needed to commit them to memory and then break through.

The so-called Divine Sea Realm, compared to the Innate Grandmaster realm, was all about expanding the Dantian's Qi Sea to increase one's True Qi capacity.

Once one broke through to the Divine Sea Realm, running out of True Qi was almost no longer a concern.

Furthermore, along with the breakthrough of the Dantian's Qi Sea, one's physical constitution would also be enhanced accordingly.

'The Secret Technique for expanding the Dantian's Qi Sea in the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill is more terrifying than any other.'

'Other Divine Sea Techniques simply expand upon the original Dantian Qi Sea.'

'But the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill is different. It requires the complete destruction of the original Dantian Qi Sea.'

'As the saying goes, no destruction, no construction. The moment the Dantian Qi Sea is destroyed, it must be instantly reforged into a Five Elements Divine Sea...'

'This way, one's True Qi can achieve greater harmony with the Divine Sea, drastically improving efficiency in both cultivation and circulation.'

Han Yuan sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, the details of the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill replaying in his mind.

The Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill was truly worthy of being a demonic skill.

This cultivation method was truly too extreme.

Even Han Yuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

If he failed and his Dantian Qi Sea was destroyed, he would become a complete cripple.

In that case, even his system would be useless.

Because the system couldn't help him restore his Dantian Qi Sea.

But to break through, he had to take this risk.

Besides, the Immortal Sect could come to kill him at any moment.

Han Yuan didn't want to pin his hopes on the Profound Celestial Alliance.

He would control his own destiny!

After completely adjusting his mindset, Han Yuan's eyes grew resolute. He directly circulated his Five Emperors Great Demon True Qi, gathering it toward his Dantian.

'Hesitation is defeat!'

'Only by maintaining an indomitable will can I break through my limits!'

More and more Five Emperors Great Demon True Qi accumulated in his Dantian Qi Sea, gradually making Han Yuan feel like he couldn't take it anymore.

As his body's self-preservation instinct kicked in, a tremendous sense of crisis enveloped Han Yuan's mind, urging him to disperse the Five Emperors Great Demon True Qi within him.
