Inside the hall, cups clinked and clanked, immortal music wafted, and the gifts and greetings from the various Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters finally came to an end.
Yunmiao Xianjun saw Han Xuanji handle everything with grace and dignity, and the look of approval in his eyes deepened. After a few more words of encouragement, he waved his hand, dismissing everyone to go Cultivate.
As the crowd thinned, Han Xuanji was about to bid farewell to his Master, Yunmiao Xianjun, planning to return to his Immortal Cave to tally his gains.
It was at this moment that the thin figure, who had been standing silently aside, appearing somewhat out of place, finally moved.
He stepped forward slowly, his gait steady, and stopped a few paces in front of Han Xuanji. He cupped his hands in a bow, his voice clear but with a hint of shyness:
"I am Su Ming. Congratulations, Senior Brother Han."
Han Xuanji had already noticed him.
Su Ming's aura was restrained, not standing out among the many Profound Immortal realm Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, but the aura around him subtly harmonized with heaven and earth. His eyes were clear and focused, revealing a kind of tenacity and purity.
Seeing him approach, Han Xuanji returned the bow and said gently, "Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle Su."
In the Immortal Realm, seniority could not be disregarded.
Su Ming shook his head and said earnestly, "Senior Brother Han's Cultivation is profound; there's no need to fuss over such things."
Then, he paused, took out a jade box from his embrace. The box was plain, without any dazzling light, but it faintly exuded an extremely pure aura.
"Su Ming has nothing of value; I lack the deep foundation of the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. This is a precious jade I obtained by chance. It has a slight effect on nourishing the Divine Soul and clarifying the Dao Heart. It's a small token of my regard; I hope Senior Brother Han won't dislike its meager value."
With that, he presented the jade box with both hands.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji did not show any disdain; instead, he was somewhat shocked.
He could tell at a glance that the item in the box was no ordinary thing.
[Jade of Creation: A peerless precious jade, capable of developing a Cultivator's potential, containing mysterious Creation within. It can only be obtained by those with great Luck.]
This was truly a good item.
More importantly, Han Xuanji could feel that Su Ming was not trying to curry favor by giving this gift; it was more like a spontaneous offering.
This made him feel a bit awkward.
"This item is extremely extraordinary. Brother Su, you should keep it for yourself."
Han Xuanji thought for a moment and still declined the kind offer.
With the System's capabilities, although this item was precious, he might not be unable to obtain it in the future.
Accepting this item would connect him with this person of great Luck, which he felt was not worth it.
Seeing that Han Xuanji had no intention of belittling him, but rather was declining, and showed no greed for the treasure.
A hint of relief and a smile flashed in Su Ming's eyes, and his shyness seemed to dissipate considerably.
He looked around, lowering his voice slightly:
"Senior Brother Han, to be honest, I have another such precious jade. Please accept it."
"Hm?"
Han Xuanji realized he had underestimated this person of great Luck.
He could even pick up treasures just by walking; it seemed he could indeed have another such item.
Speaking of which, shouldn't this kind of item be a token of love that the male lead gives to the female lead?
He felt it was somewhat inappropriate for him to hold it.
However, Su Ming's actions did make him feel a bit of goodwill.
"If Senior Brother Han is unwilling to accept it, then you are looking down on me."
Su Ming pretended to be upset.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, no longer declining, and said:
"Then, thank you for the gift, Brother Su."
"If you encounter any difficulties in your Cultivation in the future, you can always come to me."
Han Xuanji proactively made a promise.
He was, after all, a Heavenly Immortal "mighty figure"; guiding someone who had just entered the Earth Immortal Realm was still very easy for him.
Su Ming nodded joyfully: "It is what I wish for, and I dare not ask for it. I will certainly trouble Senior Brother then."
He intuitively felt that this Senior Brother Han was no ordinary person, and befriending him would definitely not be a bad thing.
It was like when he first met his Master; this was a feeling he didn't even have when he met Yunmiao Xianjun.
After a few more brief exchanges, Su Ming wisely took his leave, not overstaying his welcome, handling the situation with great tact.
Han Xuanji watched his retreating figure, his gaze profound.
Under his double pupils, although he couldn't fully see through Su Ming's destiny, which seemed shrouded in a thin mist, he knew that the other party's future would not be smooth sailing.
"Su Ming... interesting."
Han Xuanji's lips curved into an arc. He put away all the gifts, turned to bow to Yunmiao Xianjun to take his leave, and departed as a streak of light.
Not long after.
Han Xuanji, riding his escape light, returned to his Myriad Phenomena Garden.
The garden was still the same, with Chaos Spiritual Qi misty and a tranquil scene, forming a stark contrast to the clinking of cups and clanking of dishes in Yunmiao Palace just now.
As soon as he stepped into this place, Han Xuanji felt his mind naturally calm down.
He walked directly into the Cultivation quiet room. With a wave of his hand, the heavy quiet room silently closed, completely isolating all external disturbances.
Han Xuanji sat cross-legged on the futon. He was not in a hurry to tally the storage Magical Artifacts filled with rare treasures.
For an ordinary Heavenly Immortal, these resources were quite abundant.
But Han Xuanji, with his daily sign-ins, had never worried about resources, so he was quite calm. Only that Sword Dao Legacy and the final Jade of Creation gave him an unexpected surprise.
He first took out the scroll personally bestowed by the Sword Lineage's Head.
The scroll felt cool to the touch, made of a peculiar material, with no excessive ornamentation on its surface, only four ancient, sharp, and powerful characters, as if carved by supreme Sword Intent—"Supreme Heaven Sword Dao."
Just by looking at it, one could feel an ultimate sharpness, as if wanting to pierce the sky and sever all Daos, rushing towards them, making their Divine Soul tremble slightly.
Han Xuanji took a deep breath and slowly unrolled the scroll.
"Buzz—"
The moment the scroll opened, no actual text appeared. Instead, billions of silver sword lights, as fine as silk yet incomparably sharp, burst forth, instantly filling the entire quiet room.
These sword lights did not destroy anything. Instead, like living things, they rapidly circled and danced around Han Xuanji, finally transforming into torrents composed purely of Sword Intent and information, which then fiercely rushed into his Sea of Consciousness.
Han Xuanji knew this was a Sword Dao Legacy, so he did not resist.
Boom!
For a moment, Han Xuanji felt a roar in his head, as if a peerless sword Master was demonstrating the supreme Sword Dao in his consciousness.
Massive amounts of profound and abstruse information surged like a tide. If it weren't for his astonishing Comprehension Ability and his Divine Soul being far superior to ordinary people, he might not have been able to receive this Legacy all at once.
Han Xuanji firmly kept his spiritual platform clear, fully digesting the Legacy of this peerless Sword Dao.
