Li Taiqing's eyes also flashed with understanding; he knew well that given Han Xuanji's temperament, he would never emerge from seclusion easily unless he had made a significant Breakthrough.
"Master has been in seclusion for fifty years, and his aura has become even more unfathomable. We must seize this Opportunity to listen to his Dao lecture."
The news spread quickly. Everyone in Myriad Phenomena Garden, whether Han Xuanji's Personal Disciple or fellow disciples and friends like Su Ming, Jiang Hao, and even Li Changsheng who usually Cultivated there, were pleasantly surprised by the news. They all put down their current tasks and gathered under the dragon blood profound yellow tree.
In just a moment, the area under the tree was already full of people.
Li Taiqing, Nangong Wenjian, Lin Potian, and others naturally sat in the front. Even the usually boisterous Little Bai quietly squatted on a thick branch, and Little Jin had already chosen the best spot to listen, his eyes full of anticipation.
Han Xuanji soon began his lecture, expounding on the mysteries of the Great Dao of Time and Space, the unpredictability of the Great Dao of Destiny, and the sharpness of the Sword Dao... This lecture lasted for three months, allowing everyone to experience an Epiphany.
After all, this was a lecture by a peerless expert who had reached the peak of the Grand Unity Realm. Even the direct descendants of ancient Daoist traditions would find such an Opportunity rare.
Furthermore, the Spiritual Qi in Myriad Phenomena Garden was incredibly abundant, surpassing most blessed lands in the world. Even a pig here would likely be able to achieve Immortal Ascension.
Under the dragon blood profound yellow tree, the lingering aftertaste of the lecture had not completely dissipated. Everyone was still immersed in deep comprehension of the Dao, some frowning in thought, others beaming with joy, their auras fluctuating, clearly having gained immensely.
Han Xuanji's gaze swept over everyone, finally resting on Jiang Hao.
With a slight thought, he rose and walked silently to Jiang Hao's front.
"Come with me."
Jiang Hao was startled awake from his comprehension of the Dao. Seeing it was Han Xuanji, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he respectfully stood up:
"Yes, Senior Brother Han."
The two, one in front and one behind, left the bustling crowd under the tree and entered the depths of Myriad Phenomena Garden.
Here, exotic flowers and plants were everywhere, spiritual springs gurgled, and mist swirled, making it even more secluded than the outer areas.
Han Xuanji stopped by a spiritual spring flowing with glowing light and turned to look at Jiang Hao.
He did not speak immediately, but simply watched him quietly, his gaze calm, yet seemingly able to penetrate all superficialities and reach the Origin.
Under that gaze, Jiang Hao actually felt a slight pressure, as if all his secrets were being thoroughly seen through.
"Your nirvana immortal bone has gradually mastered its divine abilities, inherited the Immortal King Dharma Eye, and your Cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. You should not be far from the Golden Immortal Realm."
Han Xuanji spoke slowly, his voice calm.
Jiang Hao lowered his head slightly, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes: "It's all thanks to the Ancestor's Legacy."
His words came from the bottom of his heart; if not for the Opportunity his Family had given him to go to the ancestral land, he would never be where he was today.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, but his tone shifted: "Although your Immortal King Bone is strong, and the Immortal King Dharma Eye possesses heaven-reaching abilities, they are ultimately external forces... To achieve a higher Realm, you still need to improve yourself."
Jiang Hao was startled. He looked up, his eyes showing contemplation and confusion.
He felt that his Foundation was stable and his magical power abundant. With the power of his Immortal King Bone, he could easily challenge those beyond his Realm, and his future seemed bright. He hadn't expected that in Han Xuanji's view, he seemed to have taken a wrong path?
Han Xuanji extended a finger and gently pointed towards Jiang Hao's glabella, not making actual contact, but pointing from the Void Realm.
A warm yet vast intent, accompanied by Han Xuanji's words, quietly flowed into Jiang Hao's heart.
It was not a specific Cultivation Technique Legacy, but rather some of Jiang Hao's future concepts.
In reality, Jiang Hao had entered the Hunyuan Realm by relying on the Dao of Immortality and Battle, not his innate Immortal King Bone or Immortal King Dharma Eye.
In the simulation, it took Jiang Hao many years to figure this out.
"True strength does not just come from Bloodline; it comes from a Dao Heart that has been tempered and has seen its true self."
Han Xuanji continued, and at the same time, a faint Chaos Qi circulated around him. This was a further manifestation of his Chaos Physique after refining the heart of the Demon God. Although not deliberately released, it carried an ancient meaning of encompassing all things and evolving everything.
"Your potential is boundless. You should have the magnanimity to embrace all rivers and the courage to open up the heavens and earth. Do not let these obscure the light of your future and become shackles that bind your hands and feet."
With that, Han Xuanji pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly drew a line in the Void Realm.
There was no sharp Sword Qi, but a clear trajectory remained. Within the trajectory, it seemed as if the sun and moon rotated, stars were born and died, and plants withered and flourished, demonstrating a mysterious Dao Realm.
"This is a small insight of mine, which I bestow upon you."
Han Xuanji said faintly:
"How to brush away the dust and see your true heart still requires you to comprehend and practice it yourself."
Jiang Hao felt a resounding roar in his mind. Many long-standing confusions seemed to be swept away after hearing Han Xuanji's words.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses and bowed deeply to Han Xuanji, his tone extremely solemn:
"Jiang Hao thanks Senior Brother Han for his guidance!"
Han Xuanji calmly accepted his bow and said faintly:
"The path is under your feet, the heart is within yourself. Go."
Jiang Hao bowed again, then turned and left.
His steps seemed more steady than when he arrived.
Watching Jiang Hao's retreating figure, Han Xuanji's gaze was distant.
For now, this was all he could do.
No one could say for sure what the future held, and he couldn't guarantee that he could change the other party's destiny.
"Improve myself and step into the Hunyuan Realm as soon as possible."
Han Xuanji shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and continued to Cultivate.
The power contained in the Chaos Demon God's heart was extremely vast and could not be absorbed overnight.
Even for him, reaching the Hunyuan Realm was not something that could be achieved in a short time.
Like the Old Ancestor of Jingjue Palace, millions of years of Cultivation had only resulted in stagnation... Time passed, and fifty years later.
Deep within the Human Emperor Palace, an ancient portal was about to open. Behind the door was an aura of desolation and antiquity—the Ancient Trial Path of the Human Race was about to open, said to contain supreme Opportunities and trials left by the Human Race's ancient sages.
The Human Emperor Candidates began to contact their allies.
In Myriad Phenomena Garden, Han Xuanji had just finished a deep deduction of the Xuantian Chaos Primordial Scripture.
Fifty years had passed, and he still hadn't stepped into the Hunyuan Realm, but he had gained more insights, and the power of many Divine Abilities had greatly increased, strengthening his power once again.
On this day.
Han Xuanji awoke from his Cultivation, and a communication Magical Artifact in his storage space vibrated.
With a slight thought, Han Xuanji heard Xuanyuan Po's steady voice from within:
"Daoist Friend Han, it has been a long time since we last spoke.
The Ancient Trial Path of the Human Race will reopen in ten years. This is a grand event unseen in ten thousand years, and it is also key to the convergence of Luck.
I sincerely invite you, Fellow Daoist, to come to Xuanyuan City in the Big Dipper Immortal Domain for a discussion about the Ancient Path."
"The Xuanyuan Family..."
Han Xuanji's eyes flickered.
The Big Dipper Immortal Domain was a famous Human Emperor Immortal Domain, where many Human Emperors had been born.
And the Xuanyuan Family, as a Human Emperor Family, had been passed down for an unknown number of years. Its history was incredibly long, and its Foundation was much stronger than that of the Lingxu Immortal Palace.
Going there for a sign-in once would not be impossible.
With his Nine-Revolutions Grand Unity Realm and Hunyuan Realm combat power, there were not many strong individuals in the world who could pose a threat to him.
At the same time.
In a corner of the Human Emperor Palace, Lu Fan planned to return for a visit.
After coming to the Human Emperor Palace, he felt the path ahead was increasingly perilous.
This journey to the Ancient Trial Path was unpredictable. He had many confusions in his heart and only wanted to listen to his Master's teachings one more time before departing, and also to see his old friends and Senior Brothers again.
