Rumble—!
The entire Sea of Stars shook as countless stars shone brilliantly, shedding billions of rays of dazzling starlight that converged toward the central floating continent like a pilgrimage.
On the floating continent, the earth veins roared, and that dormant Innate Chaos Spiritual Vein seemed to be awakened, emitting a soft yet vast chaotic radiance that soared into the sky and merged with the starlight!
Following Han Xuanji's words, the Great Dao's Luck converged.
The mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees of this continent were all covered in a layer of hazy dao-rhythm, and the already extremely dense Spiritual Qi rose again at a visible speed.
Simultaneously, the Silken Sounds of the Great Dao rang out faintly, as if celebrating the formal establishment of a supreme orthodoxy here.
Han Xuanji stood at the center of this heavenly phenomenon, surrounded by clear light, with dao-rhythm flowing naturally, perfectly merging with the aura of the entire Xuantian Dao Domain, as if he were the lord of this domain and the source of the Great Dao.
Witnessing this grand and vast scene and feeling the majestic Dao power and sense of recognition surging between heaven and earth, everyone's hearts surged with excitement and passion.
They knew that from this moment on, their fates would be completely and closely linked to this place.
The connection of Luck that originally belonged to the Lingxu Heavenly Palace changed from then on.
"Master, there seems to be a race living on this continent?"
Jiang Hao was sharp-eyed and quickly discovered this information. At this moment, a group of indigenous people living on this continent was beyond shocked.
"Clan Chief, which mighty being has descended?"
"Heavens! The stars are making a pilgrimage!"
"Is this... the legendary Ancestral Vein awakening?"
"Look at the sky! That's... a figure? He stands there, and it's as if the entire Sea of Stars and the continent are revolving around him!"
"A god has descended to the world!"
Just as Han Xuanji announced the name of the Xuantian Dao Domain and triggered the heavenly phenomenon, there was also unusual movement in the depths of this vast floating continent.
The floating continent was not entirely barren. In the valleys rich in Spiritual Qi, forests with bubbling spiritual springs, and areas near the continent's core Chaos Spiritual Vein, a race lived.
They were slender, with skin so fair it was almost transparent, and starlight seemed to flow beneath it. Their ears were slightly more pointed than those of the Human Race, their eyes were mostly silver-white or azure, and their aura was pure. Naturally attuned to natural Spiritual Qi and the Star Power of the heavens, they moved gracefully. They had lived and multiplied here for countless eons, calling themselves the "Children of Starlight." They Cultivate by relying on the continent's rich Spiritual Qi and starlight, and their temperaments were mostly peaceful and aloof from worldly competition.
(T/N: Tsk tsk tsk Now even elves have found their way here)
However, at this moment, the entire race was shaken by the terrifying phenomenon covering heaven and earth. Countless Children of Starlight walked out of their dwellings, looking up at the majestic figure surrounded by endless phenomena in the sky, feeling the vast dao-rhythm that made their very Souls tremble.
That was a power far beyond their understanding, the majesty of a true Dominator of heaven and earth!
Several of the oldest and most highly Cultivated Elders in the race trembled with excitement. From ancient murals and secrets passed down by word of mouth, they vaguely knew that this continent had an extraordinary Origin.
Ancient sages had warned them that if one day a god descended, they must never offend him. Instead, they should submit to the god and become his servants; only then would they have a future.
"The day has finally arrived."
Just then, a streak of silver light soared into the sky from the deepest part of the continent's core forest, quickly arriving above the race's gathering place and transforming into an old man wearing a sky-blue woven robe and holding a gnarled ancient wooden staff.
His face was old, but his eyes were bright. His aura was the strongest in the race, already comparable to a Golden Immortal's cultivation.
He was the Grand Elder of this generation of "Children of Starlight" and their actual leader—Venerable Cangxing.
Venerable Cangxing looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing through layers of phenomena to lock onto the figure in green robes who stood with his hands behind his back, looking like an Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.
He could feel that the mere aura of that being was enough to make the Spiritual Qi of the entire continent submit!
What shocked him even more was that after that being descended, he directly triggered a resonance and joy from the deepest part of the continent's Origin, as if this continent, which had nurtured them for countless generations, had been waiting for this Master's arrival!
"An Opportunity! A massive Opportunity!"
Venerable Cangxing instantly understood in his heart. This was the god from the ancient prophecies. If such a being could provide protection and guidance, the entire race would experience an unprecedented leap!
If they hesitated or offended him even slightly, they might face the danger of annihilation in an instant.
Without any hesitation, he immediately summoned all his clansmen using a secret technique, his voice echoing in all directions:
"All Children of Starlight who have reached the Flying Star Realm, follow me to pay respects to the Lord God! Remember, have utmost sincerity in your hearts; do not show the slightest disrespect!"
(T/N: Guess the elves have their own cultivation system. Though I will need to see more of it before I can come up with a structure for their Cultivation realms)
Having said that, he took the lead and turned into a streak of light, flying toward the edge of the Sea of Stars where Han Xuanji and his Disciples were.
Behind him, thousands of streaks of light followed closely, like a brilliant river of stars rising from the continent and streaking across the sky; it was a spectacular sight.
Han Xuanji had long since sensed the aura of living beings on the continent. Seeing them fly over of their own accord, he stopped talking with his Disciples and waited for them to arrive.
Before long, Venerable Cangxing led the dense crowd of the Children of Starlight race to the front, stopping neatly in the Void Realm a hundred zhang away from Han Xuanji, not daring to approach any closer.
All the clansmen bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at that figure, only feeling the omnipresent pressure.
Venerable Cangxing stepped forward a few paces and unhesitatingly knelt in the air. His posture was incredibly humble and respectful, and his voice, filled with excitement and piety, resounded through this Star Domain:
"Cangxing leads the entire 'Children of Starlight' race to pay respects to the Supreme God! We welcome your arrival, My Lord!"
Behind him, the dense mass of clansmen knelt together, their voices converging like a tide:
"We pay our respects to the Supreme God!"
Han Xuanji's gaze calmly swept over this strange race; there were men and women, and they had the same Spiritual Roots and Souls as the Human Race.
Moreover, under the perception of his Divine Thought, the Aptitude of these beings was clear at a glance.
They were indeed naturally attuned to Spiritual Qi and Star Power, with pure Souls. Their Aptitude would generally be considered excellent even in the Immortal Realm.
There were three thousand people who had come, all comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Many of them would be considered seeds for core true Disciples even in the great Sects of the Immortal Realm.
Their potential was not small. If they could all be nurtured, they would certainly become a powerful force in the future.
Furthermore, from their eyes, which were filled with awe but not fear, and full of piety, it could be seen that they truly welcomed and anticipated his arrival.
"I can test them. If their Heart-Nature is good, I can nurture them in passing."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
It was impossible for him to pocket all the resources of this continent; some low-level resources could be used to nurture them.
However, he would also have to discipline them well to prevent the beings of this race from developing any improper thoughts.
