During these years, when he went out for few months' time in every 5 to 7 years. He helped Yue Lan dual cultivate with him. And as such her cultivation increased sharply from God transformation mid stage to initial void transformation realm.
Sylvia reached god transformation realm on her own. Her breakthrough was in outside world and as such it was felt by many elven high-level cultivators. They didn't feel any noble bloodlines from her and as such it was a big achievement on their own to reach this stage without the bloodline nobility of pure blood elves.
Many came to congratulate her, but she refused under the premise of stabilizing cultivation. It was normal for such situations. Now nearly 55 years after coming to this world Han Chen and his wife stopped their cultivation and went outside. Nearly 35 years ago, Han Chen arranged Caixia to go back to Human Domain and develop her radiant pavilion and wait for them to come by themselves.
He didn't care about her betrayal as it was impossible with the seal imposed on her. Her travel took few years even though Han Chen got her a teleporting array higher than the grade of this world capable of sustaining space time storms in the distance, made by himself based on coordinates of spatial domain obtained from elves.
Yue Lan wanted to have battle in combat to develop her sword cultivation which was stuck at sword will. Giving her fundamental knowledge in higher sword realms, he led her to tournament arena for elven warriors and half beasts. Many humans were among there.
She won three rounds with cultivators of same realm but lost in four matches on the first day. Like that days went by. She has improved very much in combat from initially failing to same realm to fighting cultivators of a subrealm above her with a certain chance of success. Two months later, on their courtyard, Han Chen is seemingly enjoying the peace but actually having innerworld undergoing tremendous changes.
His innerworld originally had spiritual energy of his own mixed with chaotic mix and storms of law energy and a heavenly world barrier within which exist a minor world he created by transformation of his own elements and by devouring stellar bodies before. After pondering over the cultivation of innerworld he deduced world needs to undergo sanctification.
Sensing his intent, the sanskrit domain activated on its own and similar to finding an evolutionary pathway previously hidden, it suddenly started transformation. The sanskrit formed chains linking to the very center piercing the minor world barrier and splitting it up.
The law energy and spiritual energy undergoes transformation when passing through this law net, degrading to lower levels of energy. After the energy got distributed, the chains spilt up forming spherical barrier around them. Starting from core, concentrically more than a 5 spherical domain formed with the outer most one with most abundant spiritual qi and law energies.
Elemental transform resumed, devouring through previously split up world fragments in each layer and forming a minor world around them as a nucleus. He suddenly felt much hunger for void and chaotic energy. With nothing other to do, he directed immortal energy from smaller world to siphon to his Dantian world.
The immortal energy being a higher level energy than what the world he had slowed down this feeling. But it's not suitable as it is simply a luxury to siphon it always for years to come.
He opened his double pupils to see through the world to figure out how to receive this chaotic energy mass from outer void beyond the heavenly cover and his gaze settled into the roots of world tree. In his view he saw world tree roots extending to outer domain of heavenly barrier of spirit world. Heavenly dao and world tree are in a co operative behaviour as it offers protection and environment in exchange for spiritual energy.
Chaotic energy is transformed into spiritual energy by world tree. As he was in a state of comprehension, he felt a gaze back at him. It was nothing other than the world tree itself. He stopped himself from sensing any more.
He ceased the immortal energy input as he felt that the situation stabilized but it needs more energy which also means he needs to find a way to absorb more energy. He devours the energy near him whether it's evil, poisonous, faith, righteousness merit, spiritual energy, dimensional energy, void disruptions, law energies to him. He gradually refined them and transformed to appropriate source for his qi, spirit and essence cultivation and rest was transferred to inner world. Few days went by as he made preparations in mind.
He left an incarnation here and reached near the edges of heavenly cover. Feeling that it was good to proceed, he transformed himself into world tree. Years of staying inside world tree in this life and from his previous life research he knew what to do.
A minor world tree roots of 100 kms formed under Han Chen and penetrated the heavenly cover. Heavenly dao sensing the entity, took few moments to distinguish and allowed free passage into outerdomain.
But suddenly a contract appeared on his mind. 75% release of spiritual energy to Heaven in exchange for growth. It was a non negotiable contract. Since he couldn't complain, he started his work.
Unlike world tree Han Chen doesn't need this chaotic energy for cultivation but for development of innerworld. So he released the spirit qi 75% to outside, but created a law barrier to prevent it from dispersing. Now the heavenly dao can sense the energy released as it wasn't concealed.
The chaotic void energy was sent directly to the inner world.
The growth rate was tremendous. In just 15 years his inner world formed universes properly and ascension planes were stabilized.
5 dimensional planes increased to 10 dimensional planes and chaotic energy is transformed to elemental and spiritual qi appropriately. Previously he protected some rare animals and plants inside and now he released all of them back to the world.
...
Han Chen's incarnation sent a message that his wife is waiting in person for him. So he stopped the bussiness and transformed back. The spiritual energy created was within the law barrier and it was viscous as solid inside due to concentration.
He even needed to release some to counteract attacks of spiritual entities forming inside barrier by pure qi consciousness.
He travelled back to his courtyard in few days of teleportation and used array to mix the spiritual energy to within his courtyard.
Now he did do the contract but entirely to his own benefit. After taking back his own incarnation he found his wife absorbing the newly mixed spiritual energy. He waited for her and after two days she left the session.
" What did you do to make the concentration almost 1000 times of that of within world tree?" She asked in amazement.
Han Chen explained all that happened. Han Chen could feel she has grown so much that she even faintly exude battle intent all the time. Over the years they shared communication constantly with themselves through the technique linking their soul and consciousness together.
She knew what he had been doing but she still asked her husband since she knows her husband loves explaining things to her. It also greatly benefited her all the times. From the unintentional informations of the world and cultivation was very beneficial to her in making decisions.
Yue Lan's progress was very high. Her sword domain fully formed. Being a void realm cultivators, she had an inherent advantage in entering realm of sword transcending space. She is now in the beginning stages of sword transcending rules.
After enjoying time with each other for few days, she called Sylvia to him and said the problem concerning her.
" Recently there was a gentleman who was courting Sylvie. She refused to comment to his questions. That guy found about me being her master and her hidden bloodline somehow but we never disclosed it to any one, and demanded me to set her free initially or would report to empire about enslaving pure elves. His encounter with me was supposed to be in public and it would have been a public execution for us, had you not warned us of approaching malice to my mind."
" Oh that.." he set his probing active when he was in seclusion putting aside small part of mind to it. He did indeed sensed some malice and warned them.
" He met us in secret. But after meeting me he got confused all of a sudden for some reason and asked about myself. He introduced himself as Vorinath Altharieon.
I told him that I was married and he seemed disappointed, and now it turns to request in exchange for anything to release Sylvia or he will fight me in public as a wager and then I would have to follow any of his requests."
" Couldn't you have rejected the request or just ask to come to me if he had problem with her?" Han Chen confusedly asked.
" As per tournament agreements the champion of the tournament can be requested of a duel of no withdrawal.
As the champion I must fight with or without a wager by any one in the same sub realm provided it is not physically harmful, and that would be humiliating for me. He would demand Sylvia as his wager also. What's going on with him and her?"
" Are you not confident in fighting him as a champion? Sylvia is ours. What he wants has nothing to do with her. The moment something happens to her, I would know." Han Chen looking at Sylvia frowning and explained.
" Master, the thing is, he appears to be in peak of first sub realm of void transformation. But I have seen his attacks, the energy he use during attacks is very high, comparable to a late stage. I think his realm is higher or he is someone like you with some mystic qualifications. He entered this competition very lately."
" I also checked the guy's background as per your instructions for whether he shouts like a novel protagonist or act like a villain. But he had neither of it. His history showed that he was about 130 years old.
His life began as a servant and he remained very secluded doing odd jobs but others later came to know that he is a reclusive expert due to interfering in a failed assaination attempt at that family. " Sylvia explained her findings.
" Apart from that his spear is of immortal grade. I am sure of it. So is his robe as a defensive weapon. I don't know where he got all that. I have seen many such in your treasury. Its outwards appearance is simple but I could feel it's power, it bends the rules of attacks thrown at it without even getting affected by it.
His attacking techniques are of very high quality so is his usage of deeper layers of spatial and chaos law rules. But somehow it feels foreign in his application and his close range attacks more rely on instinct than true martial intent." Yue Lan added.
Han Chen soon realized this Vorinath guy fits very well in the description of a person with System. Spreading his senses around he soon found the guy as per the image transmitted by her wife's memory. Focussing his double pupils and system on the person he found the guy.
Vorinath Altharieon
Body : Half Elven bloodline, Chaos body.
Realm: Void Transformation realm peak
Status: <%✓©••°? Looking for bloodline transformation. Interested in Sylvia. Under protection of elven nobility.>
Favorability: - 50
Age: 140 years
Skills: <%✓%>
Background: A golden core warrior in past life. Ancestor of Dayan Dynasty. ???
Traits: Steady in mind and body, deeply connected to nature. Talent in qi refinement.
As soon as system report came to Han Chen, on the other end Vorinath flinched and a great deal of fear came to mind. Han Chen understood that other guy has a sort of system with similar levels . Otherwise no being under this realm has capacity to mask it's skills. It is some system which returned cultivation, skills and artefacts to him to grow up.
Other person cultivated steadily and was willing to hide his brilliance in exchange for time to grow. Moreover due to rich rewards he exceeded the impossibility of reaching void tribulation peak at 140 years old.
For some reason, he found Sylvia and understood something about her and was interested. Han Chen quickly reached conclusion.
He didn't know threatening the wife of Han Chen would have such a change. If that the case if he knew earlier, for his wish to work, he would have kidnapped Sylvia normally and hide her and would be silent about it. It's because he still doesn't know about Han Chen himself, as Han Chen remained more low profile than himself.
The system just reminded him that he was being scanned by a powerful entity much like itself. Vorinath immediately got to work.
He reached the city center and found powerful people who are in debt to him and arranged them to be together with him. He had a guess that he already has the protection of elven guards at tribulation realm in secret from the elven nobility considered as his unknown father but he wants to be stable and chose to be secure and gather all the help he could get.
Han Chen could indeed deal with all of them effortlessly, but doing so silently and concealing from the formation covering the city across is not possible. He closed his senses and returned to the courtyard.
