Similar to some areas in Shenxuan Sect, many places within the Great Xia Imperial Palace could only be signed into once or twice, not repeatedly.
However, the gains from this month had already far exceeded Han Xuanji's expectations.
Perhaps because the Great Xia's Dao was exceptionally concentrated and profound, the quality of the rewards obtained from signing in within the Imperial Palace was quite impressive.
One must understand that, with his cultivation in the Ascension Realm, ordinary items were long useless to him, and sign-in rewards that could benefit him were inherently rare and hard to come by.
Treasures such as Featherfall Pills and Immortal Spirit Stones, or certain unique Divine Abilities and secret arts, were considered truly useful.
During this time, he had signed for a total of two Immortal Artifacts in various parts of the Great Xia Imperial Palace.
In various places within the Great Xia Imperial Palace, he had signed in to obtain a total of two Immortal Artifacts.
The "Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade," an offensive Low Grade Immortal Blade, which he had initially signed for, was actually of little use to him.
However, it was an Immortal Artifact after all, in the hands of an Ascension Realm Cultivator.
But compared to the Qinglian Sword he had obtained earlier, it was certainly far inferior.
"Better than nothing, blades and swords are inseparable; it can still be used if thrown into a sword formation..."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
Although Immortal Artifacts did not hold a high status for him, they were pitifully rare in the outside world; it was not to say that an Ascended Immortal expert could possess a handy Immortal Artifact.
For example, Absolute Sword Immortal had been in the Ascended Immortal for so many years, yet he didn't even have a suitable Immortal Sword.
Of course, even if he were to forge an Immortal Sword, the outcome would not change.
However, an Immortal Artifact that Han Xuanji later signed for in the Great Xia Ancestral Temple was quite good.
This Immortal Artifact was named "Nine Luminaries Star Bow," and its grade had clearly reached Medium Grade Immortal Artifact, a very rare bow and arrow type.
It required Divine Thought as a guide to draw upon the power of the stars, and only an Ascension expert's cultivation could barely draw this bow.
For Han Xuanji, it was a handy weapon, as his Physical Body and Divine Thought were both extremely powerful, and he was also proficient in the Dao of Stars, meaning he could perfectly wield this Divine Bow.
On this day.
Han Xuanji, led by a royal elder of Great Xia, stepped into a deep underground palace.
The underground passage was profound, with ancient runes carved on the stone walls, exuding a heavy aura of time.
"Sword Immortal, beyond this place lies the core of the Dragon Vein."
The old man, who had Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivation, bowed, his posture humble.
"Hmm, thank you for your trouble."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
The old man was immediately flattered, said nothing more, and quickly withdrew.
"Hmm."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly and expressed his thanks.
The Tribulation Transcendence Realm royal expert was immediately flattered and quickly withdrew.
"The Dragon Vein's land, the root where Great Xia's Luck converges, and also the Foundation of the Dynasty..."
Han Xuanji walked slowly, understanding in his heart,
"To allow me in so easily, this trust... or rather, this gesture of goodwill born out of helplessness, is truly rare."
His unimpeded entry into this place undoubtedly demonstrated the Great Xia Imperial Palace's utmost respect for him, almost as if they were offering everything and letting him take whatever he wished.
Han Xuanji's heart was as clear as a mirror about this.
The Great Xia side actually had no choice; after all, if Han Xuanji truly intended to do something bad, they would be powerless to stop him. It was better to just open everything up, which might even gain Han Xuanji's favor.
"This is the benefit of being powerful enough... If I were only in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, Great Xia would never have allowed me to sign in freely in this Imperial Forbidden Land."
This was the absolute right to speak that power brought.
Without the previous accumulation, how could there be the present freedom?
Arriving at the core depths of the Dragon Vein's land, the surrounding Spiritual Qi converged into a giant Dragon shape, like amber.
However, this place was not suitable for ordinary people to Cultivate, because although the Spiritual Qi was rich, the Dragon Qi was very heavy.
For most Cultivators, it was not simple to refine Dragon Qi into pure cultivation.
[This is a four-star sign-in location. Do you wish to sign in?]
Not bad.
The System was even answering ahead of time.
"System, sign in..."
Han Xuanji silently chanted in his mind.
This was a four-star sign-in location; he was somewhat looking forward to it.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the Great Xia Dragon Vein's land, obtaining the Immortal Artifact "profound yellow true dragon jade."]
"profound yellow true dragon jade?"
"Another Immortal Artifact?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred.
Amidst the flowing light, an ancient, weighty jade disc appeared in his hand.
The jade disc was entirely a warm Profound Yellow color, and naturally inscribed on its body were nine Dragon patterns of various forms, majestic and sacred, exuding pure and noble Imperial Dragon Qi.
Caressing the warm jade disc, a hint of joy flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes.
This profound yellow true dragon jade had no offensive capabilities, but its usefulness to him was far greater than the previous two Immortal Artifacts.
Because this profound yellow true dragon jade could utilize the Dynasty's Luck and the power of the Dragon Vein to assist one's Cultivation.
Even for Ascension Realm experts, it was effective, capable of accelerating the process of converting spiritual power into immortal power.
"Moreover, it can also draw upon Dragon Qi for protection and restrain various Divine Abilities and secret arts."
Han Xuanji secretly affirmed in his heart:
"The 'Dao' of this Great Xia Imperial Palace indeed did not disappoint me."
With the profound yellow true dragon jade's enhancement, coupled with a large number of Featherfall Pills, his Cultivation speed should be even faster than before in the Qinglian Sword World.
"At this rate, it seems I'm not far from Ascended Immortal Layer Three."
Han Xuanji was secretly delighted.
During this period, he intended to Cultivate well in this Dragon Vein's land for a while.
...
Time quietly flowed by.
Daming Border, Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, backed by Ten Thousand Demons State, stretched for a hundred thousand li of mountains, with countless Yao Race members entrenched within.
Autumn was deep, and the mountain wind carried a chill.
On a steep mountain peak, Li Taiqing stood on a giant rock, his Human Race aura concealed by a secret art.
He gazed intently into the distance; ahead were layers of overlapping, undulating mountains, extending to the horizon.
In the hazy mountain shadows, countless scurrying dark figures were vaguely visible, and a vast and chaotic Demonic Qi gathered and rose, forming dark clouds.
What made his heart even more tense was that from the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, he could faintly sense several powerful, lurking auras.
Even just a hint of their presence felt like cold needles pricking his spine, bringing a strong sense of unease.
"The strength of this Yao Race... has it accumulated to such a degree?"
Beside him, Nangong Wenjian lowered his voice, his tone solemn.
Li Taiqing took a deep breath of the cool air and said in a deep voice:
"They are still gathering their strength... This demonic tribulation will likely be far more perilous than we anticipated."
He paused, his gaze turning towards the direction of Great Xia, carrying a hint of relief.
"However, fortunately, Master is deterring the demons, preventing them from acting rashly immediately."
During this period, various forces within Great Xia had dispatched experts to begin clearing out the Yao Race within Daming.
However, many of the Yao Race either returned to the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge or hid in deep mountains and old forests.
Li Taiqing was just wondering what the Yao Race's intentions were.
Suddenly.
Roar!
From the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, a high-pitched beast roar echoed, shaking the heavens and earth.
Even the mountains trembled.
A terrifying Great Demon revealed its true form; its body towered into the clouds, clad in red armor, and a violent aura surged skyward. Its pair of scarlet eyes were like blood moons, inspiring awe and fear in those who beheld them.
