The door to the quiet room opened silently, and Han Xuanji's calm voice emerged:
"Come in."
Li Taiqing rose and quickly entered the quiet room. Upon seeing the figure seated on the chaos green lotus, his mind was shaken.
On the lotus platform, Han Xuanji sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his face serene. The aura around him perfectly merged with the entire green lotus, becoming one.
He seemed to be the center of the three thousand great daos, the Dominator of all things.
Just by gazing at Han Xuanji, Li Taiqing felt his own magical power circulate involuntarily quicken, and his Divine Soul seemed to be cleansed, becoming even more transparent.
"It would be difficult to find a green lotus of this grade even in the Immortal Realm, wouldn't it? As expected of Master."
Li Taiqing was startled.
Although he couldn't fully discern the Origins of this green lotus, the ancient aura emanating from the Chaos, and the supreme Dao rhyme, all indicated its extraordinary nature.
Suddenly, he abruptly recalled fragments he had seen in some incomplete Jade Slips, about the supreme divine objects born in Chaos that carried the Great Dao... "Could it be... this item is the chaos green lotus?"
An unbelievable thought exploded in his mind like a clap of thunder.
The legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure, it only existed in the most ancient myths and legends.
Master... he actually possesses such a divine object?
At this moment, Li Taiqing's heart was in turmoil, but he didn't ask.
Instead, with a "thump," he involuntarily knelt down again.
"Disciple... Disciple Li Taiqing, greets Master!"
His voice trembled uncontrollably. Before this legendary chaos green lotus and the Master seated upon it, he felt as tiny as dust.
"Speak, what do you seek?"
Han Xuanji said calmly, his eyes still closed.
In reality, he hadn't revealed any powerful pressure, and he had even concealed the aura of the chaos green lotus. It was just that his appearance was too awe-inspiring, and his Disciple had long since deified him.
Li Taiqing looked up, his eyes filled with hope.
"Master! Disciple... Disciple implores Master, please help Disciple Breakthrough faster!"
Han Xuanji opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon Li Taiqing. He didn't respond immediately, and the air in the quiet room seemed to solidify.
The invisible pressure startled Li Taiqing, making him gasp for breath.
He thought his request had angered Han Xuanji.
In reality, Han Xuanji was reflecting, realizing that he had indeed somewhat neglected his eldest Disciple.
After all, Li Taiqing had always been unassuming and diligent. Many of the Sect's messages were actually conveyed and responded to by Li Taiqing. Even if he didn't have merit, he had put in hard work.
"Why?"
Han Xuanji's voice remained calm, betraying no emotion:
"Is it for revenge?"
In his opinion, Li Taiqing could easily achieve Grand Unity Golden Immortal by following the normal progression, and it wouldn't take too long.
"Yes."
Li Taiqing looked up, meeting Han Xuanji's deep, abyss-like eyes, and quickly explained:
"Master is wise! It's not that Disciple doubts his own Dao path, nor is he dissatisfied with Master's arrangements. It's just... that enemy is a Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Golden Crow God Clan. Now, with the Demon Court frequently engaging in wars with various factions, Disciple is truly worried... worried that if he perishes at the hands of others, or encounters an accident, where would Disciple seek to avenge this blood feud?"
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji pondered, feeling that it was indeed a possibility.
The Immortal Realm was not peaceful now. Li Taiqing's enemy was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Golden Crow God Clan. In the past, it would have been difficult for anything to happen to him, but now with the Demon Court initiating wars, this Taiyi Golden Immortal was not safe and sound.
Han Xuanji performed a quick divination and found that Li Taiqing's worries were not unfounded.
This Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Golden Crow God Clan was currently on the front lines of the battlefield and would head to the rear of the Demon Court in a few hundred years. At that time, it would be difficult for Li Taiqing to get his revenge, and the opponent would most likely perish in the Great Tribulation.
"Your worries are not without reason."
Han Xuanji slowly spoke, his voice much gentler.
"However, haste makes waste. Forced power, like a tree without roots, even if it can reach the sky for a time, will ultimately not withstand the wind and rain."
Just as Li Taiqing felt a little disheartened, Han Xuanji changed the subject:
"However, considering your firm Dao Heart, and your desire for revenge also serves as a drive to move forward, I shall grant you an Opportunity."
Before his voice faded, Han Xuanji pointed his fingers like a sword, not causing any earth-shattering phenomena, but merely condensing a wisp of extremely refined grey, misty Qi flow at his fingertip.
That Qi flow seemed weak, yet it seemed to contain the Dao rhyme of creation.
"This is a wisp of 'Chaos Origin Qi', which can help you purify your immortal foundation. Are you willing to accept it?"
"I am willing."
Li Taiqing said without hesitation.
Seeing this, Han Xuanji casually took out a demon god origin he had previously signed for, and with a w wisp of Origin power, molded it into a wisp of Origin Qi.
The effect of this Origin Qi was very simple: it could transform a person into a Chaos Physique.
Although the Chaos Physique was not as overbearing as a Chaos Demon God's Physique, its Cultivation speed was extremely fast, it was naturally close to the Dao, and its Physical Body was comparable to that of primordial beings.
After all, he was his eldest Disciple, and he couldn't just brush him off.
With this Origin Qi transformation, it would not be difficult for the other party to Breakthrough to Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
As he spoke, that wisp of grey, misty Dao Qi, like a spiritual snake, silently entered Li Taiqing's glabella.
Li Taiqing's entire body trembled violently.
He felt an indescribably cool and vast power instantly sweep through his entire body, his limbs and bones feeling as if they were being cleansed by the purest spring water.
At first, it was extreme comfort, as if every cell was cheering and greedily absorbing this power.
But soon, the intense pain brought by the transformation surged like a tide!
"Ugh!"
Li Taiqing couldn't help but let out a suppressed growl, feeling as if his Physical Body was being torn apart inch by inch by an invisible immense force.
This was a dual transformation originating from both the Physical Body and the Divine Soul; shielding pain was useless.
However, Han Xuanji still couldn't bear it and sent out a stream of magical power, directly causing Li Taiqing to faint.
Seeing this, Han Xuanji didn't stay idle and closed his eyes to Cultivate.
The Primordial Power of the Immortal Realms Reincarnation contained immense power, and even he couldn't refine and absorb it in a short time... It was unknown how much time had passed.
Li Taiqing finally woke up. He felt the changes in himself and immediately understood everything.
His eyes were filled with gratitude, and he kowtowed deeply again, his voice choked with emotion:
"Disciple... prostrates himself in gratitude for Master's grace!"
"Mm, go."
Han Xuanji waved his hand, also letting out a sigh of relief internally.
This was also the first time he had done something like this, and he didn't actually have a 100% certainty of success.
Of course, it wouldn't matter if it failed.
Even if Li Taiqing died, he could revive him.
"If others are willing to endure this pain, they can also seek me out."
Han Xuanji thought for a moment and added this to Li Taiqing.
Upon hearing this, Li Taiqing paused, recalled the pain, and nodded vigorously.
