Beyond the Immortal Gate was a mysterious space, the treasure vault of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace.
This place was also overseen by an Immortal Artifact Spirit left behind by the Lingxu Ancestral Master. Its strength was formidable, comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal at Perfection. It had guarded the Lingxu Heavenly Palace for countless years, witnessing the rise and fall of the Heavenly Palace.
As long as it existed, the Lingxu Heavenly Palace would endure.
"May I ask, Senior, have I passed the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path?" Han Xuanji asked, cupping his hands.
Hearing this, the Immortal Artifact Spirit's eyes showed a human-like appreciation, and he quickly said, "Ahem, of course."
In reality, he had also discovered that the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path posed no challenge to Han Xuanji at all, so there was no need to waste time testing him.
He even grumbled inwardly, what more was there to test about this Aptitude? It made it seem as if his Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path had no difficulty.
The Guardian Immortal Artifact Spirit stared at Han Xuanji, sizing him up for a moment, and casually asked, "Did you want to challenge the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path yourself?"
"Not really," Han Xuanji shook his head. Who would bother doing something unnecessary?
He then felt a bit uneasy and quickly added, "However, the Myriad Laws Refining Heart Path has been of great help to me, and this Junior has benefited immensely."
"My performance, compared to previous Dao Children, shouldn't be too inferior, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Guardian Immortal Artifact Spirit felt somewhat depressed.
Something was off. Such a Prodigy shouldn't feel invincible and far surpass his ancestors?
Why did this boy still think he was just average?
Pondering, the Guardian Immortal Artifact Spirit felt that Han Xuanji's outward humility was actually a display of arrogance.
"Alas, young people nowadays have so many thoughts."
"Aren't you just trying to get this old man to praise you?"
"However, your talent is the greatest this old man has ever seen in his life. Since you call me Senior, if you ever need anything in the future, just come find me. If those boys in the Sect give you trouble, just tell this old man."
The Guardian Immortal Artifact Spirit also put on the air of a Senior and said in a deep voice.
He might not be a Senior in the future, but for now, he certainly deserved the title.
His future achievements were hard to predict.
He knew that the other party had already embarked on his own Dao, and coupled with his comprehension of the Great Dao and terrifying Comprehension Ability, his achievements would be limitless.
The Guardian Immortal Artifact Spirit was truly shocked by Han Xuanji's Comprehension Ability. There were countless Prodigies in the world, and heroes were as numerous as carp in a river, but it was difficult to find a few with such Comprehension Ability and Heart-Nature.
"If anyone from the outside tries to harm you, this old man will risk his old bones to protect you completely."
Feeling the other party's sincere intentions, Han Xuanji's heart stirred slightly.
[Shouxu (Special Being): Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection level. A special being created by Immortal King Lingxu to guard the Sect. His strength is formidable. He has guarded the Lingxu Heavenly Palace to this day, possessing knowledge accumulated over countless years. He is shocked by your talent and believes you can reach the level of Immortal King Lingxu, or even go further.]
"So that's how it is."
Han Xuanji's mind was clear. With the System's information, he instantly understood why the other party was like this.
The existence before him was a life created by Ancestral Master Lingxu through special means. Although his Lifespan was endless, he was bound to the Heavenly Palace and found it difficult to advance further. His wish was nothing more than for the Heavenly Palace to flourish and for peerless talents to emerge among its future generations.
If Han Xuanji could lead the Lingxu Heavenly Palace to another level, perhaps he could also advance further.
Such a calculation could not be called a calculation; it should be considered the wisdom of an investment.
Regardless, Han Xuanji's guard was somewhat lowered.
"Thank you, Senior."
Han Xuanji went with the flow, not being overly sentimental.
For him now, having a Taiyi Golden Immortal Rank backing was ultimately a good thing.
"Good, good, good. If you have any problems, come find me anytime."
"Oh, right. There are many treasures in this vault. As a Dao Child of the Sect, you may choose three treasures here.
The category is unlimited: Cultivation Technique, Divine Ability, Medicinal Pill, divine materials, Immortal Artifacts... anything is fine."
He paused, then said with a hint of a reminder, "However, treasures have spirits and will also choose their masters. The most powerful or highest-ranked might not be the most suitable.
It needs to align with your own Dao to be used to its full potential.
You should sense it yourself. If there is something fated with you, it will naturally respond."
Han Xuanji understood upon hearing this.
The reward of these three treasures was undoubtedly an affirmation of his performance this time.
Moreover, from his words, it seemed these were true treasures that would not easily manifest.
It wasn't that you could get them just by entering.
Han Xuanji cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior. This Junior understands."
The Sect also had quite a few famous supreme treasures. Although they hadn't reached the level of an Immortal King's Artifact, they were still well-known top-grade Immortal Artifacts.
"Hmm, go on in," the Immortal Artifact Spirit Shouxu nodded.
He couldn't say much more; entering the treasure vault depended entirely on Karma.
He was only guarding the treasure vault, not its owner, and could not violate the rules set by the owner.
Han Xuanji bid him farewell and then stepped into a grand hall, which contained a world of its own.
Rather than a treasure vault, it was more like a world, a world where countless treasures were confined.
These treasures could not be moved or bestowed lightly.
Firstly, if ordinary Disciples could enter the treasure vault to seek treasures, what would happen?
Furthermore, Immortal objects have spirits, and supreme treasures also have personalities; they will seek masters whose nature aligns with their own.
Sometimes, some treasures even have Karmic tribulations entwined around them. Bestowing them rashly could implicate the recipient.
"I wonder what treasures he can take away?" The Immortal Artifact Spirit Shouxu thought highly of Han Xuanji.
Within the treasure vault, there were even treasures at the Immortal King level.
At this time, the Immortal Venerables outside also began to inquire about what had happened.
The Immortal Artifact Spirit Shouxu responded irritably,
"This child's Heart-Nature, Comprehension Ability, and Aptitude are all impeccable. I have already sent him into the treasure vault, so don't bother me."
He still wanted to watch Han Xuanji choose treasures.
The Immortal Venerables who received the response muttered that Senior Shouxu didn't know if he was in a bad mood from waking up or what, why was he speaking so aggressively?
"Not bad, not bad. This child Xuanji must have received the approval of that one," Celestial Venerable Yuheng nodded.
Immortal Lord Yunmiao beside him was overjoyed.
That existence had guarded the Heavenly Palace for countless years, and his discernment was extremely high. There were once Geniuses whom he regarded as mere stones.
This proved that Han Xuanji's talent far exceeded expectations, and he had indeed hidden it very deeply.
However, Immortal Lord Yunmiao also had a smile on his lips.
Didn't this just prove his good judgment?
Otherwise, why didn't others take him as a Disciple?
For a time, the expressions of the several Immortal Venerables varied. Han Xuanji's recognition by Shouxu seemed to have far exceeded the scope of "excellent," reaching the level of "Prodigy."
This forced them to re-evaluate the potential of this Dao Child.
