The Chief of the Talisman Vein was an Elder whose body was faintly surrounded by countless talismans that appeared and disappeared.
As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of the several beings present flickered slightly.
At their level, ordinary Geniuses could no longer enter their Dharma Eye, but a person with 'double pupils' had considerable potential, and even they would occasionally pay attention.
Moreover, this child had rendered great service, uncovering hidden dangers within the Sect.
Logically, the Seven Peaks Tournament, as a grand event of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace, would see True Disciples of all major main veins eagerly participating. This was not just about resources; there were also benefits for cultivation, changes in Luck, and the attention of the Sect's powerful figures.
The intangible benefits were very difficult to articulate.
Many True Disciples from afar would rush back to participate for this very reason.
They could see that Han Xuanji had already reached the True Immortal realm, cultivating at an extremely fast pace. Furthermore, his Comprehension Ability of the Great Dao was terrifyingly profound, his aura mysterious, and his strength was likely considerable.
It was truly hard to understand why such a Disciple would not participate.
Silence fell in the hall for a moment.
"This child's strength cannot be underestimated. It's just a pity he didn't join my Sword Lineage."
Li Xuanxiao said wistfully.
Jade Profound Immortal Revered, on the other hand, nodded slightly and said indifferently:
"Such a Prodigy is the same no matter which vein he is in. I didn't force him; he made his own decision."
"Indeed."
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the others.
To make Li Xuanxiao so unforgettable, it seemed this 'double-pupiled' person was also an unparalleled sword Dao Prodigy.
"Being able to conceal oneself might not necessarily be a bad thing."
Immortal Reverence Tianji said calmly.
Overly monstrous Geniuses can also become thorns in others' eyes.
This time, for the Seven Peaks Tournament, Lingxu Heavenly Palace had made many preparations to deal with various unforeseen circumstances.
At the same time.
The Seven Peaks Tournament had already reached its final moments, and peerless Prodigies at the Profound Immortal level began to make their moves.
Jin Zizai, a peerless Prodigy from the Golden Crow God Clan, had nine Golden Crow Dharma Idols formed from the True Sun Fire around him, burning the heavens and boiling the seas. He was locked in an evenly matched battle with a Profound Immortal Late Stage from the Sword Lineage of Lingxu Heavenly Palace, who possessed profound heritage.
"The Golden Crow God Clan... worthy of being an ancient remnant clan born from the essence of the Sun Star. This child's Bloodline Power has already awakened for the most part. Among those of the same rank, he truly has few rivals."
Celestial Venerable Yuheng's voice rang out, saying faintly:
"That Saint of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect is also quite good; his Comprehension Ability is astonishing, and he has hopes of becoming a Golden Immortal."
"Everyone, the reward for my grand-Disciple cannot be forgotten either."
Celestial Venerable Yuheng said indifferently.
"Overall, this child has infinite potential and is truly a treasure of our Lingxu Heavenly Palace in this era. He may well carry the future Luck of our Palace."
Jade Profound Immortal Revered also spoke up at the opportune moment.
The two sang in harmony.
Silence once again fell in the hall, but an invisible consensus had already been reached.
"Since that is the case, let Han Xuanji be established as the 'Dao Child' of our Lingxu Heavenly Palace, and let us pour all resources into helping him grow!"
"Agreed."
"Seconded."
"Good."
The various Immortal Venerables expressed their stances in succession, with no one opposing... A few days later.
The Seven Peaks Tournament had just concluded, and the atmosphere within Lingxu Heavenly Palace was more fervent than usual.
Along the way, Han Xuanji could hear some Disciples discussing the Prodigies who participated in this event.
They discussed the ten True Disciples of this generation, as well as the Prodigies from outside.
Many of their words were filled with indignation, clearly feeling that they had been outshone on their own territory, which caused them to lose some Face. Whether they were outer or inner True Disciples, many were somewhat unconvinced.
"The Golden Crow Clan's Prodigy, the Myriad Laws Saint, and those other Prodigies..."
These people were indeed powerful. If they had an Opportunity or a suitable chance, they could quickly step into the Golden Immortal realm.
However, such an Opportunity or chance was too rare.
Becoming a Golden Immortal was not something that could be achieved simply.
"It's rare to be able to meet the Chief of the Seven Peaks this time."
A thought flashed through Han Xuanji's mind, and he returned to himself.
Immortal Lord Yunmiao had sent him a message, asking him to go to the Lingxu Palace to meet the various Chiefs and to elaborate on what he had seen and gained from the Seven Peaks Tournament.
Deep within Lingxu Heavenly Palace, stars twinkled in the sky, and Chaos mist surged.
Massive palaces were scattered across the celestial firmament, with towers, pavilions, and terraces, like a dream realm.
As if guided by some will, a ray of starlight led Han Xuanji forward.
Soon, he arrived at the Lingxu Palace.
Outside the hall, Immortal Lord Yunmiao was waiting, a smile in his eyes.
"Go in."
"When you see the various Chiefs, do not lose your etiquette."
"Mm."
Han Xuanji nodded heavily.
He held reverence for those far stronger than himself.
Stepping into the palace, Han Xuanji felt the Qi around him become several times heavier.
Inside the hall, several figures were already suspended on a high platform.
"Disciple Han Xuanji respectfully greets the various Immortal Venerables."
Han Xuanji's expression was calm as he bowed to the seven Chiefs according to etiquette.
The Chiefs of the Seven Peaks gathered together; this was a truly rare sight.
From left to right, they were: the Chief of the Dan Meridian, Celestial Venerable Yuheng; the Chief of the Sword Lineage, Jade Profound Immortal Revered; the Chief of the Array Meridian, Immortal Venerable Chang Geng; the Chief of the Artifact Vein, Immortal Venerable Zaohua; the Chief of the Law Meridian, Immortal Venerable Jiuyu; the Chief of the Heavenly Secret Vein, Immortal Reverence Tianji; and the Chief of the Talisman Vein, Immortal Venerable Miaodao.
Each of them was a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level powerhouse. Among them, the Chief of the Dan Meridian had the highest cultivation, already at Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection, while the others were generally at the Middle Stage to Late Stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Many True Disciples of Lingxu Heavenly Palace might not have even met all seven Immortal Venerables, let alone seen them all together.
This was enough to show that the Sect placed considerable importance on his mission this time.
On the right, an Immortal Venerable surrounded by mysterious aura slowly spoke, his voice gentle:
"No need for formalities. How much did you learn from this Seven Peaks Tournament?"
The others also nodded slowly, somewhat anticipating Han Xuanji's answer.
Han Xuanji's expression was calm. He pondered for a moment, then spoke in a calm voice, as if stating something unrelated to himself:
"The Demon Race's methods of infiltration are insidious and unpredictable, hidden extremely deeply, yet not without traces."
He paused slightly, seemingly organizing his thoughts, then continued:
"The Demon Race's layout is extensive. Not only have many Disciples been invaded by demonic thoughts, but there are also Golden Immortal-level powerhouses among them. For example, the leading Elder of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect, 'Daoist Cangyan,' his Divine Soul has been completely assimilated by demonic thoughts. Although his words and actions are no different from usual, he has in fact become a Puppet."
"Furthermore, Myriad Beast Mountain, Heavenly Origin Sect... among the Yao Race faction, the Blackwater Mysterious Serpent lineage..."
Han Xuanji's tone remained calm throughout, yet every word was clear, stating the identity, affiliated force, and general condition of each infiltrated person with terrifying detail.
It was terrifyingly detailed!
Upon hearing this, the various Immortal Venerables couldn't help but nod secretly, feeling incredible in their hearts, but they did not show it.
Even if it was fabricated, it was too detailed.
Of course, they would not think that Han Xuanji would deliberately fabricate it.
