"This place… I can't feel a trace of Immortal Qi?"
One Prodigy couldn't help but exclaim. He tried to circulate his Cultivation Technique, only to find he couldn't absorb the familiar Immortal Qi. Yet, the pores all over his body spontaneously merged with the surrounding mist, and his cultivation showed an extremely slow increase.
"It's not that there's no energy; rather, the energy here is of a higher level. It's the Dao rhyme manifested from the Heavenly Dao's Origin. Cultivating here for a day might be equivalent to several months of arduous cultivation outside!"
Zhou Tianchen's eyes rapidly swirled with astral projections, clearly trying his best to comprehend this rare environment.
Just as the people from Lingxu Heavenly Palace were shocked by the scene before them, ripples continuously spread through the surrounding Void Realm.
Powerful auras broke through the air, arriving from far away and gradually revealing their forms.
First to appear was a bronze chariot pulled by nine crimson flame Dragons. The chariot was ancient, engraved with ancient battle patterns, and its banners fluttered. Several young people clad in crimson immortal armor stood upon it.
Their figures were as straight as spears, their Qi and Blood as vast as the sea. Faint projections of clashing weapons surrounded them, and their Battle Intent soared with every flicker of their eyes. These were the inheritors of the ancient Battle Immortal family—the Ye Family. Rumor has it that the indomitable will of ancient Battle Immortals slumbers deep within their Bloodline.
There were also several Fairies, their robes fluttering, as if they had stepped out of a painting. They were the inheritors of Guanghan Immortal Palace, their auras cold, aloof, and untainted by the mundane.
Following them were Dao-robed youths stepping on Yin and Yang fish and carrying Taiji diagrams on their backs, and Buddhist Disciples from the Buddhist Kingdom, clad in kasayas, holding prayer beads, with illusory golden lotuses appearing under their feet with every step… Each Prodigy possessed a profound aura, with inner divine radiance, and an innate confidence and arrogance in their eyes.
Golden Immortal Realm cultivators were abundant, and some auras were even close to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.
These peerless Prodigies, rarely seen on ordinary days, were now gathered here like a myriad of stars. Their powerful auras intertwined and clashed in the invisible Void Realm. Though no one had made a move, an invisible confrontation had already formed.
The ten great Prodigies of Lingxu Heavenly Palace, including Zhou Tianchen and Lin Feng, all looked much more solemn at this moment.
They finally experienced firsthand what Immortal Reverence Yuxuan had meant by "there is a Heaven beyond Heaven, and people beyond people."
Here, their proud talents and backgrounds no longer seemed so dazzling.
Han Xuanji stood quietly in a corner, his gaze calmly sweeping over the renowned Prodigies and ancient Legacies, his heart largely undisturbed.
However, seeing a familiar figure still surprised him a little.
[Jiang Hao: Profound Immortal First Layer, top-grade Dao Spiritual Root. Fifty years ago, he went to the Jiang Family ancestral land, inherited the Immortal King's Dharma Eye, his Immortal Bone underwent a second Nirvana, achieving a Nirvana Immortal Bone, inherited the Immortal King's Luck, and his Comprehension Ability and Aptitude transformed.]
(A/N: Sigh at this point it's pure torture for Jiang Hao to undergo Nirvana again. Let's hope his bad luck doesn't cause his immortal bones to be dug out again.)
You've risen again?
Han Xuanji couldn't help but nod. It truly was as if what didn't kill him only made him stronger.
This Jiang Hao not only had his Immortal Bone undergo Nirvana again but also inherited the Immortal King's Dharma Eye, making his talent even higher. Moreover, his cultivation had reached the Profound Immortal Realm, already surpassing Su Ming, who had diligently Cultivated.
"It seems that if the Son of Luck doesn't court death, it's really hard for him to transform."
Han Xuanji secretly grumbled to himself.
Perhaps he should find an opportunity to let his Disciples go out and 'play around' a bit?
People's Physiques are not all the same; perhaps they will become invincible just by 'playing around.'
Han Xuanji's gaze quickly caught Jiang Hao's attention.
Upon seeing Han Xuanji, a clear hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and then a Divine Thought quietly arrived, his tone calm:
"Senior Brother Han, long time no see. You've also come to this place."
Compared to his former youthful exuberance, he now carried a sense of vicissitude.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, also replying with a sound transmission, his tone filled with emotion:
"It's been many years. It seems Junior Brother Jiang is doing quite well."
At this moment, Su Ming, who had been standing quietly beside Han Xuanji, also noticed Jiang Hao, and his eyes immediately burst forth with a joyful light.
He hadn't expected to meet an old friend in this Great Luo Heaven, where all the heroes of the Heavens gathered. And judging by his position and demeanor, it seemed he had regained importance in the Jiang Family, which genuinely made him happy.
Before the two could catch up, an old voice rang out,
"Everyone, enter the hall."
The voice was not loud, but it was filled with a mysterious Dao rhyme, immediately bringing everyone back to their senses. Han Xuanji turned his head and saw that the gate of Yuanshi Hall had already opened. Many figures were already seated inside, and Immortal Reverence Yuxuan's figure was prominently among them.
Alright, those with higher cultivation get to sit in the front, huh?
Han Xuanji grumbled in his heart.
However, he could understand; who hadn't been a peerless Prodigy once upon a time?
Han Xuanji also spotted a familiar figure inside.
It was Zhu Rong of Jingjue Palace, a Prodigy he had met in the River of Destiny.
The other party had clearly already broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm and could no longer be considered a young Prodigy; he could be regarded as a pillar of the Human Race.
The numerous Prodigies began to enter in an orderly fashion, and seeing this, they no longer thought of catching up.
Han Xuanji was not in a hurry and walked at the back of the crowd.
As he stepped through the gate of Yuanshi Hall, he immediately felt a pulling force that led him to a prayer mat.
Clearly, their seats had already been assigned.
The many Prodigies of Lingxu Immortal Domain were arranged in a row, with Han Xuanji in the middle.
Han Xuanji was very satisfied with this position; no one paid him any attention.
This Yuanshi Hall was extremely vast, capable of accommodating thousands of people. Everyone was several zhang apart, so even with hundreds of people gathered, it still felt very spacious.
Above them was a void, and everyone seemed to be in a primordial Chaos.
Just then, a vast pressure descended, and everyone immediately focused their attention forward.
At the very front, an old figure appeared at some unknown time, facing everyone.
The person wore a cyan jade Dao robe, with the face of a child and the hair of an old man. He sat there with his eyes closed, yet he exuded an extraordinary and detached aura.
"Greetings, Old Ancestor Jingjue!"
Some of the Taiyi Golden Immortal powerhouses in front recognized his identity and hastily greeted him respectfully.
The many Prodigies behind also bowed in respect, and Han Xuanji did the same.
[Daoist Jingjue: Nine-revolutions Grand Unity Golden Immortal, founder of Jingjue Palace, peerless in talent, possesses a Space-Time Dao Physique, skilled in the Grand Dao of Space-Time.]
Skilled in the Grand Dao of Space-Time?
Han Xuanji was secretly delighted. He was just worrying about how to perfect the Grand Dao of Space-Time, and now a powerful being skilled in this Dao had arrived.
[Detected an eight-star check-in location, "Yuanshi Hall." Do you wish to check in?]
"Eight stars?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred; this was extraordinary.
"System, check in."
Han Xuanji didn't think much and quickly made a fortune in silence.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in at "Yuanshi Hall" and obtaining the "Yuanshi Dao Scripture."]
