"Congratulations to the Host for successfully signing in on the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path, obtaining the entry 'Mortal World Immortal Realm'."
"This location cannot be signed into repeatedly."
"Mortal World Immortal Realm: Walking the Mortal World Road, comprehending the Dao within the Mortal World, forging an immortal Dao Heart in the Mortal World that is indestructible through a thousand tribulations and unbreakable through ten thousand tribulations."
This entry was more of a spiritual elevation, a Realm, and a great wisdom.
Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor passed through three thousand great tribulations before attaining the Heavenly Emperor fruit status.
The Buddha also preached in countless worlds, enduring endless tribulations over millions of years.
The Mortal World Immortal Realm, even if not as great as theirs, already surpassed countless people.
With this, Han Xuanji's Dao Heart seemed to undergo a silent baptism and sublimation.
The moment the "Mortal World Immortal Realm" entry integrated into his Divine Soul, it did not bring surging power, but rather an extreme tranquility and clarity.
His past experiences in the Taixu Spirit Realm—the mundane world, the seven emotions and six desires, life and death partings—and even the prosperity of the Immortal Realm he witnessed after Ascension, the great world's conflicts, the Prodigies' struggles... all these, which might have originally been mere fragments in his memory, were now as if gently brushed by an invisible hand, removing the dross and transforming into the purest experiences and insights, deeply imprinted in the Origin of his Divine Soul.
A sense of "looking back at the desolate path, returning, with neither wind nor rain, neither clear nor cloudy" arose spontaneously, a feeling of understanding and transcendence.
He was still himself, yet he seemed to stand at a higher dimension, looking down upon himself and everything around him.
The tribulations of the Immortal path, the temptations of external objects, the entanglements of emotions... these still existed, but his pursuit of the Great Dao was unshakable.
This was a Realm, a state of mind after undergoing the baptism of the Mortal World.
Han Xuanji slowly opened his eyes; in his pupils, there was a calmness that came from having seen through everything, and as his gaze shifted, it seemed as if all phenomena of the Mortal World were born and destroyed, yet it was also like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water, unstained by a single trace of vulgarity.
The Qi around him became increasingly restrained, almost indistinguishable from a Mortal, but if a powerful being were to observe closely, they would find that the stability of his Dao foundation and the refinement of his Divine Soul had reached an inconceivable Realm.
"Refining the Heart in the Mortal World reveals the true self. This entry's benefit to my state of mind far surpasses an supreme Divine Ability."
Han Xuanji understood in his heart.
This "Mortal World Immortal Realm" did not provide offensive assistance, but it was the fundamental reliance for all Divine Abilities, Spells, and Dao cultivation.
If the Heart remains unmoved, all Laws cannot invade.
If the Heart remains unextinguished, the Dao path will forever prosper.
His gaze swept across the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path, which was bathed in radiant light, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"With this reward, this journey is without worry."
Han Xuanji was not very worried to begin with, and now he had even fewer concerns.
He was no longer the same person as before, not someone who would be startled by every small reward when his strength was low. Han Xuanji's heart had very little fluctuation regarding the new sign-in rewards that followed.
It could be said that Han Xuanji no longer worried about gains and losses, fearing the absence of the System. Even without future rewards, he was confident in attaining the Great Dao.
Outside.
Although the various Branch Masters could not directly perceive the existence of the "Mortal World Immortal Realm" entry, they could clearly feel the change in Han Xuanji's demeanor the moment before he stepped onto the Heart Refining Road.
Immortal Reverence Tianji, the Branch Master of the Celestial Secrets Branch, his eyes flickered with incredulous surprise:
"How strange! How peculiar! This child just now... his Dao Heart actually seemed to have completed another transformation? Not a growth in power, but rather... an indescribable sense of Perfection and transcendence?"
"As if in an instant he had seen through the vast Mortal World, returning to his true self?!"
Even Celestial Venerable Yuheng's hand, stroking his beard, paused slightly, and an unprecedented gleam burst forth from his eyes:
"Indeed, indeed, to comprehend the true essence of the Great Dao again before the Heart Refining Road?"
Immortal Lord Yunmiao was equally shocked. Could his disciple's state of mind have already reached the Realm of 'Immaculate Immortal Heart'?
He naturally could not guess that Han Xuanji had already surpassed the Realm of Immaculate Immortal Heart, reaching the "Mortal World Immortal Realm" that many Golden Immortals yearned for.
Other Branch Masters were also surprised, and their recognition of Han Xuanji increased by a point.
In the depths of the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path, a special space.
A blurry, ancient Dragon-shaped phantom, seemingly woven from countless Dao Laws, slowly emerged. It had no flesh and blood, appearing to be composed of light, shadow, and the Laws themselves, exuding an aura of antiquity.
It was the guardian spirit left by the Lingxu Heavenly Palace's Ancestral Master, in charge of the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path and the Sect's treasure vault.
He was an ancient existence who had witnessed the rise and fall of countless Prodigies in the Lingxu Heavenly Palace.
At this moment, the consciousness of this ancient guardian spirit was indifferently observing the new challenger on the road.
It had seen too many Prodigies; even the most astonishing Genius had to undergo a difficult tempering on this road.
The Sect had specifically informed it that this generation's Dao Son would come for tempering today, and that it should increase the difficulty.
"A new Dao Son?"
The guardian spirit slowly awakened. Upon seeing Han Xuanji's arrival, it subconsciously moved its claws.
He had not witnessed Han Xuanji's transformation; he simply felt that this young man was not simple.
So, he had to increase the difficulty for him.
Buzz!
The light intensified, and the first step of the Heart Refining Road, a jade stone, lit up with a soft glow, as if waiting for him to step onto it.
"It has begun."
Han Xuanji did not hesitate, taking a step and landing steadily on the first jade stone.
The moment his body settled, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically.
It was no longer the cloud sea at the mountain peak, but an boundless Chaos Void. Countless meteors of various colors and forms whistled through, each exuding a scorching aura, fiercely impacting him.
"This doesn't seem to be a test of the state of mind?"
Han Xuanji's eyes flickered slightly; those violent meteors were naturally not real meteors, but rather impacts of various Dao Laws.
"Hmm? To be so overconfident, not even condensing a protective Immortal light?"
The guardian spirit's thoughts rippled slightly,
"The first trial, 'Myriad Laws Tide', will let you know what reverence is..."
However.
Han Xuanji didn't even need to deliberately resist; he absorbed the incoming meteors, which posed no obstacle to him.
As if treading on flat ground, he crossed this Void in one step. The first trial was broken!
Time taken: three breaths.
He was already a Golden Immortal; this level of difficulty naturally couldn't trouble him.
The guardian spirit's figure moved, as if it had seen something incredible, and its long-calm heart rippled.
"This child, his comprehension of the Great Dao is so outstanding?"
"No, no, this kid passed the trial instantly, this isn't right."
The guardian spirit's heart was in disarray.
Since the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path's existence, it had stumped countless heroes. The fastest record holder for the first trial before this had taken a full three hours, which was already considered a marvel.
Its expression was somewhat complex. If it weren't the spirit overseeing the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path, it would suspect that something had gone wrong.
What was even more frustrating was that while it was in a daze, the other party had already passed the second trial.
"Something's not right. What exactly is this kid's background?"
The guardian spirit's mood was complex, finding Han Xuanji's displayed Comprehension Ability and talent utterly inconceivable.
Firstly, it should not be malfunctioning.
That could only prove that the other party's talent far surpassed the Prodigies of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace throughout history, truly making him the greatest of all time.
