After all, this was a Dragon raised by Han Xuanji himself, so others couldn't interfere.
Although Little Golden Dragon had just been born, he was already an Earth Immortal in cultivation. He was naturally skilled in many Divine Abilities, and his strength was in no way inferior to Lu Fan and the others.
This left the few of them feeling a bit speechless.
So, they fought tooth and nail to Ascend to the Upper Realm, then Cultivated diligently for many years, only to be outdone by someone who had just been born?
Seeing this, Han Xuanji smiled and said,
"Don't look at Little Gold having this cultivation upon birth; that's because he began absorbing countless Heaven And Earth Treasures while still in the egg. The resources consumed were only more, not less, than yours."
Upon hearing this, the few of them quickly felt relieved.
Immediately, Han Xuanji's mind stirred, and he first signed a Soul contract with Little Gold.
Little Gold didn't hesitate and readily accepted.
In reality, the contract's purpose was more to ensure its safety and allow Han Xuanji to better sense its condition.
Even without a contract, Little Gold, as a product of the System, would not harbor any thoughts of betrayal.
Returning to the main topic, Han Xuanji continued to preach to the few of them.
Several days later.
The sermon ended, and Han Xuanji told everyone to go back and digest it themselves, as he planned to continue comprehending the Dao.
At this moment.
Lu Fan, Lin Potian, and Nangong Wenjian exchanged glances, each seeing determination in the other's eyes.
They had Ascended many years ago and had witnessed many powerful individuals. However, facing Han Xuanji, they always felt that he was unfathomable, even more mysterious than the powerful Sect Elders.
The three of them rose almost simultaneously, standing shoulder to shoulder, and bowed deeply to Han Xuanji:
"Disciple Lu Fan (Lin Potian, Nangong Wenjian), respectfully requests Master to take us in!"
Han Xuanji's gaze calmly swept over the kneeling crowd.
In fact, he had never thought of taking these old friends from the Lower Realm as his Disciples.
However, these few seemed serious.
These few had extraordinary Luck and were indeed potential assets.
They were indeed qualified to be his Disciples.
"Since you all have this intention, I shall grant it."
Han Xuanji spoke slowly, his voice gentle, carrying a convincing power,
"Joining my Sect requires no elaborate formalities. I only hope that you all Cultivate diligently, clarify your minds and see your true nature, and avoid unnecessary disputes."
As his voice fell, an invisible pressure enveloped the garden, causing everyone's hearts to tremble and making them understand Han Xuanji's power even more.
"We will respectfully obey Master's command!"
Everyone responded in unison, their voices strong and clear.
This idea, of course, came from Lu Fan.
They owed Han Xuanji a lot. If they recognized Han Xuanji as an older brother, it felt like taking advantage, so it was better to directly acknowledge him as their Master.
In the Cultivation world, respecting one's Master and the Dao was not a trivial matter.
Even within the Demon Race, those who betrayed their Master and Old Ancestor would be scorned.
Since he had accepted them as Disciples, Han Xuanji naturally taught them according to their aptitudes, imparting different skills to each of them.
For example, to Lin Potian, who specialized in the Dao of Body Refining, he imparted a powerful boxing technique that he had obtained through a previous sign-in.
Nangong Wenjian Cultivated the Sword Dao. Han Xuanji did not impart the Supreme Heaven Sword Dao but instead taught him his own Xuantian Sword Dao.
In terms of Sword Dao, Han Xuanji had already reached the pinnacle of Taiyi Golden Immortal, not far from the Daluo level. In the Upper Realm, he would be qualified to establish his own Sect.
As for Lu Fan, Han Xuanji taught him the Dao of formations and the Dao of alchemy.
After all of this, Han Xuanji sat quietly under the dragon blood profound yellow tree, his mind immersed in the deduction of the Sword Dao.
He had long since integrated the Supreme Heaven Sword Dao, his self-created Xuantian Sword Dao, and the many Sword Dao Legacies obtained through sign-ins, reaching the peak of the Taiyi level. However, there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him, seemingly thin, yet always difficult to truly comprehend.
The Sword Dao did not have a place similar to the River of Destiny, or rather, every Sword Dao Grandmaster would condense their own River of Sword Dao for future generations to Cultivate.
But to Breakthrough to Daluo, one needed to forge their own path and open their own River of Sword Dao.
This step had stumped countless Sword Dao powerhouses... Ten years later.
The talent displayed by Little Gold as a True Dragon shocked everyone, making them fear that this newborn might catch up to them in cultivation.
Especially Little White Tiger, who was originally prepared to slack off, felt the pressure with Little Gold's arrival and completely dared not be negligent, diligently Cultivating every day.
But unfortunately, Little Gold's cultivation had already caught up to Little White Tiger.
Due to his Daluo Bloodline, he naturally possessed the Dragon Clan's powerful Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities, so Han Xuanji didn't need to worry about him.
Lu Fan and the others, on the other hand, began to travel together, venturing out for experience.
Han Xuanji did not stop them from doing so.
After all, they were individuals with great Luck, so they shouldn't perish so easily.
If they truly encountered something they couldn't solve, he would also intervene.
Of course, the premise was that they shouldn't provoke powerhouses that he couldn't handle either.
Ten years passed, and Han Xuanji was still just a little short of comprehending the Daluo Sword Dao.
On this day.
Immortal Lord Yunmiao sent a message, asking Han Xuanji to go to Lingxu Palace, as the First Seat had something to discuss with him.
Speaking of which, Immortal Lord Yunmiao was about to Breakthrough to Taiyi Golden Immortal, so Han Xuanji no longer needed to bother helping him.
"It seems to be a good thing."
Han Xuanji's mind stirred, sensing no danger. He composed himself, and with a slight movement of his figure, he vanished from the garden.
Lingxu Palace was the place where the First Seats of Lingxu Heavenly Palace held discussions. The palace was magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.
When Han Xuanji stepped into the main hall, he found that only Immortal Venerable Yuheng and Immortal Reverence Yuxuan were seated, the two First Seats he was most familiar with.
Immortal Venerable Yuheng had a gaunt face, profound eyes, and his aura was like the vast starry sky, embracing all things.
Immortal Reverence Yuxuan, on the other hand, had a sharp Sword Intent that was restrained but not unleashed. Though he sat quietly, he was like a peerless Immortal Sword hidden in its scabbard, capable of splitting the sky at any moment.
The gazes of the two First Seats fell upon Han Xuanji, instantly discerning his still profound Profound Immortal Middle Stage cultivation, even after being restrained. A subtle hint of approval flashed in their eyes.
To reach such a Realm at such an age was truly rare in the entire Human Race.
Within a thousand years, achieving the Dao of Golden Immortal was highly probable.
"Disciple Han Xuanji greets the two of you."
Although Han Xuanji's cultivation now surpassed theirs, he still spoke respectfully.
"No need for formalities."
Immortal Venerable Yuheng nodded slightly, his voice gentle,
"I summoned you here this time to offer you an Opportunity."
Opportunity?
Han Xuanji's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained calm. Ordinary Opportunities were truly useless to him, weren't they?
Immortal Reverence Yuxuan interjected:
"The Old Ancestors of the Human Race have returned in response to the calamity. Soon, they will establish an altar in 'Daluo Heaven' to preach the Dao, expounding on the Dao of Daluo.
Our Lingxu Heavenly Palace has been allotted ten slots, allowing us to bring Disciples to listen to the Dao.
This is a rare Opportunity, once in ten thousand years, for a Daluo Immortal King to personally impart the Dao and answer questions."
Immortal Venerable Yuheng added:
"Don't worry, it won't be too long, and there won't be any danger. Once the sermon concludes, you can return and continue to Cultivate in peace."
Grandmaster preaching the Dao?
That sounds good.
Han Xuanji's eyes lit up slightly.
This Opportunity was indeed extraordinary. A Daluo-level sermon would help him perfect his own System and deepen his understanding of the Laws of various Great Daos.
He knew the preciousness of this slot; many Elders within the Sect probably yearned for it.
Even the First Seats would likely need to listen to the Dao, as they were quite far from Daluo.
Immortal Reverence Yuxuan's Sword Dao was not inferior to his, both being at the pinnacle of Taiyi Golden Immortal, but his other Great Daos and cultivation were not as good as Han Xuanji's.
And while Immortal Venerable Yuheng's cultivation was profound, his comprehension of the Great Dao was somewhat lacking, making a Breakthrough not easy.
Han Xuanji felt that he should reach Grand Unity Golden Immortal a step ahead of the First Seats.
