Chapter 1193: A Match Made in Heaven

The Tiannan cultivation world was boiling once again.

Some Nascent Soul-level elders of major cultivation sects suddenly received another invitation from the Falling Cloud Sect to attend a ceremony. This time, it was to invite them to participate in the dual cultivation ceremony where the Falling Cloud Sect's Great Elder, known as the number one cultivator in Tiannan, and another Nascent Soul female cultivator named Nangong Wan, would officially become dual cultivation partners.

The various Nascent Soul old monsters who received this invitation, apart from a few individual cultivators who had long known the inside story, were all greatly astonished in their hearts. However, given Han Li's currently peerless reputation, naturally no one dared to refuse the invitation and not come. Even the other three great cultivators, because they were in seclusion and unable to come in person, specifically had their disciples deliver exceptionally rare congratulatory gifts.

It is said that during the few days the ceremony was held, the sky over the entire Cloud Dream Mountain Range was shrouded in gorgeous five-colored light mist for the most part. In the mountain range, pavilions and towers of five colors appeared out of thin air, and all the spiritual flowers and trees in the mountain range bloomed and turned green simultaneously under the effect of restrictions, making the Cloud Dream Mountains truly resemble a fairyland.

The three sects of the Cloud Dream Mountains and some small sects nearby exerted all their strength for this, and the grandness of the ceremony even surpassed the one when Han Li became a Great Cultivator.

And those who attended this ceremony, besides the cultivators from major sects invited by the Falling Cloud Sect, also included cultivators from some small and medium sects, as well as some famous loose cultivators, who all brought gifts and came uninvited.

As a result, during the few days the ceremony was held, there were as many as five or six thousand foreign cultivators, mostly high-level cultivators, making it the largest celebration in Tiannan in over a thousand years.

However, thinking about it, it didn't seem strange.

Previously, when Han Li advanced to a Great Cultivator, although there were many who came to congratulate him, most were skeptical, and there were still three other Great Cultivators in Tiannan. But after the battle at the Great Cultivator ceremony, Han Li's reputation as the number one cultivator in Tiannan was officially established.

Hearing that Han Li could face two cultivators of the same rank simultaneously and still hold the upper hand, any sect, no matter how long its history or how great its power, felt a chill in their hearts.

Because this was enough to show that with Han Li's current divine abilities, as long as he didn't care about his own sect, he alone would be enough to flatten any cultivation sect.

No sect in Tiannan could possess more than two Great Cultivators simultaneously, and there was simply no power that could contend with Han Li, the number one cultivator in Tiannan.

In this way, regardless of whether they had any relationship with the Falling Cloud Sect before, all sects sent people to climb the ladder of friendship. As for those high-level loose cultivators, they hoped to get to know this number one person in Tiannan, hoping that the other party could provide some guidance on cultivation or use this ceremony to meet other cultivators.

Therefore, because of the foreign cultivators who came for the ceremony, plus the cultivators from the three sects themselves, it could truly be called a ceremony of ten thousand cultivators.

Han Li appeared at the ceremony with Nangong Wan, the beauty, but did not stay for long. The two merely smiled and said some words of thanks to the crowd, drank a cup of nuptial wine on the spot, and then left gracefully.

As for the rest of the activities, they were completely handed over to Lu Luo, another elder of the Falling Cloud Sect, to host.

This Elder Lu was worthy of being knowledgeable, and although the two protagonists were missing, he still managed to make the remaining activities of the ceremony lively and extraordinary.

The dual cultivation ceremony lasted for three or four days before coming to an end.

The crowd of cultivators who came to congratulate finally left in groups, but a few unexpectedly stayed behind.

Han Li and Nangong Wan, dressed in white, stood side by side on the top of the Mother Peak of the Mother-Son Peak, looking at the strange scenery of rolling white clouds in the distance. The two were silent, as if silence were better than sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Wan brushed the green silk from her forehead with her fair wrist and suddenly turned her head to smile sweetly at Han Li:

"This time, I can be considered to have turned a misfortune into a blessing. With the help of the 'Chaste Woman Heavenly Moon Technique' in the seal, I finally broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul. However, in the end, I have to thank my husband for his help; he actually gave me the Emperor Flowing Pulp, this miraculous object. This at least saved me over ten years of bitter cultivation. Otherwise, whether I could break out of the seal now is still a question. But for my husband to advance to the late-stage so quickly, it really surprised me. With your current divine abilities, husband, apart from those few old monsters of the Spirit Transformation stage who rarely act, I'm afraid no one is your match in the human world."

"No match? I wouldn't dare to say that casually. Since I can have this opportunity, perhaps there are other Nascent Soul cultivators in other places in the human world whose fortune is not inferior to mine!" Han Li smiled faintly, being quite humble.

"Hee hee, I don't believe that! But what I didn't expect was that the Soul-Sealing Curse was truly insidious enough. I originally thought that with the help of the Fire Toad inner core's power, I had already cleared away most of this curse, but I didn't expect there were actually several other restrictions lurking in my body that hadn't triggered. Thanks to using the true unsealing method to clear it once beforehand, otherwise, there would truly have been endless future troubles." Nangong Wan's eyes rippled with autumn waves, charming as a young girl.

"I also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't in vain that I made a special trip to the Great Jin. Later, Wan'er, you can take the Nascent-Nurturing Pill I gave you. With this, advancing to the late-stage is not impossible." Han Li looked at the beauty beside him and replied with a smile.

"Does that Nascent-Nurturing Pill really have such miraculous effects! It actually has great utility for breaking through to the late-stage of the Nascent Soul!" Nangong Wan blinked her beautiful eyes, appearing somewhat skeptical.

"Hehe, for this pill, several mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Great Jin fell one after another. You tell me how effective it is?" Han Li smiled without a word.

"Since my husband says so, then after I consolidate my mid-stage realm, I will take this pill and give it a try." Nangong Wan's eyes shone brightly, and she tilted her head slightly, pursing her lips and smiling, blending the myriad charms of a young woman with the purity of a young girl.

Han Li looked at his wife's flawless face and recalled their intimate time over the past few days. His heart stirred, and just as he wanted to say something more, his expression shifted, and he turned his head to look at the distant sky. Nangong Wan was startled and looked over as well.

A moment later, a white light broke through the restrictions on the horizon and flew straight toward Han Li and the other.

Han Li's gaze flickered, revealing a hint of surprise, as if he recognized the person coming.

The white light circled above the two and landed. After the light faded, a beautiful woman was revealed; it was none other than Mu Mu Peiling.

"Greetings, Young Master, Sister Nangong!" Mu Mu Peiling bowed to the two and said softly, her expression calm.

"Sister Mu Peiling, the ceremony is already over. You still came so hurriedly from the sect; could it be that there is some matter that Brother Lu cannot handle, and you need to find our couple?" Nangong Wan's eyes flowed, asking gracefully.

"Sister Nangong, two groups of guests are still staying in the mountains and haven't left. They both claim to be old acquaintances of the Young Master and have specifically asked to see the Young Master. Brother Lu doesn't know if the Young Master wishes to see these people, so he asked Mu Peiling to come and report. If the Young Master does not wish to see them, he will naturally drive these people away." Mu Mu Peiling said with a pleasant voice.

"Old acquaintances of my husband? Could it be that they are beautiful female cultivators?" Nangong Wan's watery eyes turned, glancing at Han Li, revealing a look that was a smile yet not a smile.

"Sister Nangong is wise; the two groups of people are indeed all women." Mu Mu Peiling stole a glance at Han Li and nodded, biting her lower lip slightly.

"Flower debts of my husband, it seems." Nangong Wan glanced at Han Li somewhat reproachfully.

"Flower debts? *Cough*, Wan'er, stop joking with your husband. Mu Peiling, who are they? Did you ask for their names?" Han Li coughed a few times, asking somewhat strangely.

"I asked. One group is led by a woman surnamed Yan from the Ghost Spirit Sect, followed by two elders from the Ghost Spirit Sect. The other group is a female cultivator named Han Han Yunzhi from the Spirit Beast Sect, and Dong Xuan'er from the Joyous Union Sect." Mu Mu Peiling replied without hesitation.

"It's them?" Han Li was startled and muttered.

Nangong Wan, who was beside him, raised her brows slightly upon hearing this, then laughed softly.

"It seems these people are truly old acquaintances of my husband. Husband, you might as well go and see them. Otherwise, it would be somewhat impolite." Nangong Wan said with a smile.

"These people are acquaintances I made when my Great Dao was not yet achieved. Seeing them is fine. Mu Peiling, go back and inform Brother Lu, saying I will be there immediately. Arrange them in two guest pavilions, and I will see them separately." Han Li pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, then Mu Peiling will take her leave." Mu Mu Peiling bowed slightly and transformed into a streak of white light, flying away once more.

Han Li, who remained in place, looked at the sky, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Why, are you dissatisfied with Sister Mu Peiling?" Nangong Wan caught Han Li's expression in her eyes and asked with a smile.

"No, I just can't figure out why you recognized her as your sworn sister after coming out. I originally wanted you to take her as an entry-level disciple." Han Li put his hands behind his back and shook his head in confusion.

"What's wrong with taking Mu Peiling as a sworn sister? On one hand, I only wish to accompany my husband to the Great Dao and have no desire to take any disciples. On the other hand, this girl's background is somewhat similar to mine in the past, and after talking, we are quite compatible. Moreover, rather than letting her be in a difficult position, it is better for me to recognize her as a sister first. In this way, whether she becomes your concubine in the future, or you secretly regard her as a disciple and pass on your cultivation techniques and Great Dao, others won't gossip." Nangong Wan said gently.

"Let it be as you wish; I won't say anything more. I will go and see those two groups of guests first." Han Li said indifferently.

"Then husband, go early and return early. I will return to my own cave dwelling and wait for you." Nangong Wan said with a smile.

Hearing Nangong Wan's words, Han Li couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Wan'er, this 'Chaste Woman Heavenly Moon Technique' you cultivate is truly eerie. You must rely on the power of the Yin Moon to cultivate. In this way, you have to set up a special formation to gather the power of the Yin Moon. But the power of the Yin Moon is extremely harmful to the cultivation of other cultivators. Within the influence of this formation, cultivation is impossible. It forces you and me to not be able to cultivate in the same cave dwelling, and we must open up a separate cultivation cave dwelling on another sub-peak."

"I coveted the power of this magic technique back then and didn't think carefully about such trouble." Nangong Wan replied with an apologetic expression.

"Although I feel somewhat regretful, fortunately, we only have to separate when cultivating. The two cave dwellings are close at hand, so it doesn't have much impact when we are not cultivating. Very well, the time is not early, so I will take my leave first." Han Li comforted her and said his farewells. Under Nangong Wan's gaze, he transformed into a streak of green rainbow and left the Mother Peak.
