Of course, Han Xuanji was not foolish; it was impossible for him to produce something identical to what he had used before.
Moreover, although the System check-in provided the same item with identical power, it would still contain a trace of the owner's dao rhyme.
However, once it passed through Han Xuanji's hands, these dao rhymes would vanish, becoming his own accumulation.
In fact, even if Han Xuanji were to produce the yuanshi banner in front of Yuanshi Dao Venerable, the other party would only think that the treasure Han Xuanji had refined was similar to his own.
At this moment, Sage Xuan Du also began to converse with Han Xuanji.
Having finished his check-in, Han Xuanji was in a great mood and began to chat with Sage Xuan Du, taking the Opportunity to accept the Grand Supreme Dao Venerable's alchemy Legacy.
The time that followed was spent by the two discussing the Dao.
Combining the alchemy insights he had just acquired with his own cultivation, Han Xuanji's words were profound and subtle, often hitting the crux of alchemy and even the operation of the Great Dao, causing Sage Xuan Du to listen and occasionally applaud in admiration, fall into deep thought, or suddenly realize the truth.
"Listening to Fellow Daoist discuss the 'Dao of Taiji Yin and Yang'... marvelous, simply marvelous!"
Sage Xuan Du was shocked in his heart; he had not expected Han Xuanji's Dao attainment to be so high.
Han Xuanji smiled without a word, merely nodding slightly, appearing even more inscrutable.
Not long after, Sage Xuan Du was completely convinced, his eyes shining with excitement and anticipation:
"A single conversation with Dao Venerable today is worth more than reading millions of years of Dao scriptures!"
"Fellow Daoist's Dao is vast and mysterious, and your understanding of alchemy goes straight to the essence, revealing things that predecessors have never touched upon!"
"It is a pity, a great pity that Master is not here; otherwise, if the two of you were to sit and discuss the Dao, it would surely be an unprecedented grand spectacle since the creation of the world!"
Speaking of this, Sage Xuan Du slowly said:
"When Master returns, I will certainly implore Dao Venerable to come again and discuss the Great Dao with my Master here in Eight Views Palace!"
"If there is an Opportunity, I shall naturally seek guidance from Grand Supreme Dao Venerable."
Han Xuanji smiled and agreed.
After further in-depth exchange for a long time, Sage Xuan Du reluctantly escorted Han Xuanji to the palace gate.
Before parting, he gifted Han Xuanji a purple gold Bagua token:
"With this token, Fellow Daoist may visit at any time; the palace gates will always be open for you."
Han Xuanji thanked him, said his goodbyes, and walked out of the palace gate.
Seeing Han Xuanji emerge, Li Haokong quickly went up to meet him, and seeing Sage Xuan Du standing at the palace entrance, actually performing a Disciple's courtesy to see him off, his expression shifted.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Du is indeed a person who sincerely seeks the Dao."
Han Xuanji said indifferently; he could see that Sage Xuan Du was single-mindedly devoted to the Dao and had no ulterior motives.
However, that was to be expected; one who could become a Disciple of Grand Supreme Dao Venerable could not possibly lack good Heart-Nature.
In the time that followed, Han Xuanji also headed to the more important locations of dao rhyme in the Heavenly Court.
Such as the Immortal Slaying Platform, the Imperial Stables, Guanghan Palace, and other places...
As Han Xuanji traveled, wherever his footprints reached, as long as the System deemed it a place of valuable dao rhyme, he would "check in" without hesitation.
The gains were varied, such as the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, a hunyuan dao treasure that specifically broke Immortal bodies and Primordial Spirits; techniques for purifying the Yao Race Bloodline, the Origin of Lunar Moonlight, various Legacy Divine Abilities, and so on. Although not as shocking as the gains from the previous locations, they were all precious and rare resources, greatly enriching his foundation.
On the other side, Li Taiqing and the others represented Han Xuanji in discussing matters. Even if Han Xuanji did not care about the distribution of benefits, his Disciples naturally could not think the same way.
Not to mention that Han Xuanji had stepped in to repel the enemy, greatly hindering the Demon Race's offensive; merely his presence here was enough to change the situation.
...
On the other side, in the depths of endless Chaos, this was a dimension shrouded by eternal darkness and evil Qi.
There was no light here, no order, only the most primitive Chaos Qi surging like tides, and billions of Demon souls wailing and roaring in the Void Realm, forming a scene of despair.
And at the core of the Demon Abyss, a blurry, towering figure slowly opened its eyes. Its body was condensed from Devilish Qi, and in those eyes, there were no pupils, reflecting the scenes of the birth and destruction of all heavens and myriad worlds.
This figure was none other than the Demon Ancestor.
"Another variable..."
Low whispers echoed in the core of the Demon Abyss, each syllable causing the surrounding Devilish Qi to seethe violently.
The Demon Ancestor's thoughts flashed by the thousands, yet he could not deduce Han Xuanji's Origins no matter what.
It was precisely for this reason that he had retreated earlier to reconsider his long-term plans.
"A new Limitless Primordial existence; this is a variable outside of the plan... and it is clearly standing on the side of the Immortal Realm."
"I have laid out my plans for ages, using the calamity Qi to invade the Great Luo Heaven Domain, and now I have already succeeded halfway."
The Demon Ancestor's schemes were deep and far-reaching.
In the ancient war, although the Immortal Realm won, it was severely damaged; Spiritual Qi declined, Realms were shattered, and conflicts secretly arose among various races and factions within.
The Demon Race seemed to have retreated to the Demon Abyss, but in reality, they had already won; after all, before this, these Demon domains were all Immortal domains.
If the entire Immortal Realm could be turned into Demon land, it would also be a rich harvest for him.
But Han Xuanji's sudden appearance made the Demon Ancestor feel that the threads of his ancient layout had been disrupted by an unexpected hand; if it continued, a major failure was very likely.
However, if he were to stop and withdraw now, while he would have profited, it was not enough, and it was unacceptable.
" Limitless Primordial; although the Realm is newly stabilized, the foundation of his Dao is thick, and his Luck is prosperous... furthermore, he seems to be connected to the Luck of the Dao lineage of Grand Supreme, Yuanshi, and others..."
The Demon Ancestor's figure moved slightly, showing that his heart was not calm.
"Relying solely on this Dharma manifestation of mine, even if I could mobilize the surrounding power, it is unlikely that I could suppress or kill this person; furthermore, it might prematurely trigger an all-out war, alarming those few old fellows into tearing off their masks and taking action..."
But this variable, Han Xuanji, must be dealt with. If left to grow, he would surely become a major threat in the future.
"I need to borrow strength... to restrain or jointly eliminate him."
The Demon Ancestor's consciousness swept across the endless Chaos.
In the endless Chaos, there were also many Chaos Demon Gods who were just as ancient and powerful as he was.
One must know that the Immortal Realm was a delicious morsel; with the Immortal Ancestor fallen, and the great experts of the Immortal Realm constrained by their true bodies, he originally did not want to join forces with others.
But plans could not keep up with changes; he still intended to give up some benefits.
In the end, his gaze rested in one direction.
The Lord of Greed was also one of the Primal Chaos Demon Gods, wielding the Dao of "Greed." Its strength was not too formidable among the Limitless Primordial, but it should still be significantly stronger than a newly ascended Limitless Primordial existence like Han Xuanji.
This fellow had an insatiable nature, possessing an endless desire to claim all resources, energy, and the Origin of worlds; it had devoured countless worlds and was purely profit-oriented.
However, the Demon Ancestor was not afraid of the other party's greed; otherwise, why would it be willing to be utilized by him?
"Only with enough 'bait' can I lure this greedy Vicious Beast..."
Blood light flickered in the Demon Ancestor's eyes as countless schemes flashed by.
A moment later, he extended a finger condensed from pure Devilish Qi and tapped lightly into the Void Realm.
Hum—
A jet-black beam of magical light, condensed to the extreme, tore through layers of dimensional barriers, ignoring the distance of time and space, and instantly plunged into a mysterious Realm.
This message not only contained intelligence about Han Xuanji but also a tempting proposal:
"Assist me in suppressing or even erasing this variable, and I will allow you to participate in the next 'harvest' of the Immortal Realm.
Once it is accomplished, I will share two-tenths of the Immortal Realm's Origin, living beings, and Luck with you."
