For an existence like Han Xuanji, the gains from meditative cultivation and consuming Immortal Pills were far less useful than a single session of deep Dao-enlightenment.
However, other Limitless Primordial existences were not as adept at enlightenment as Han Xuanji.
For Limitless Primordial existences like the Demon Ancestor or the Lord of Greed, their Daos were not like Han Xuanji's Xuantian Great Dao, which was capable of encompassing ten thousand Daos.
The Demon Ancestor could not possibly comprehend the Immortal Ancestor's Dao; he could only persist in his own Demonic Path.
Han Xuanji was different. His Dao was sufficient to contain all Laws. While attaining the Dao was extremely difficult—taking him many years despite his endless resources and supreme talent—once successful, his speed of Breakthrough was far beyond what others could imagine.
The chaos bell represented the supreme authority to 'suppress Chaos and stabilize time and space.' Its dao-rhythm allowed his understanding of the Great Daos of time, space, and Chaos to reach an unprecedented height.
With a slight thought, Han Xuanji felt as if he could hear the rhythm of time flowing through the myriad worlds, touch the finest folds of space, and even catch a preliminary glimpse of the invisible Origin rules that maintained the order of Chaos—the supreme rules that constructed the entire three thousand Great Daos of Chaos.
Meanwhile, the taiji diagram symbolized the Great Dao of 'mutual generation of Yin and Yang,' greatly complementing and sublimating his mastery over the Laws of unity of opposites, such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, life and death, and Karma.
In his current perception, all things could be analyzed as the two Qis of Yin and Yang, and all Laws could be traced back to the generation and overcoming of the Five Elements. Life and death were no longer absolute boundaries, but a cycle of two sides of the same coin.
His grasp of Karma and destiny also became clearer and more composed.
This was the power of his Xuantian Great Dao: while comprehending one Great Dao, he could indirectly improve his understanding of others.
"A great dao sacred artifacts truly lives up to its reputation."
Han Xuanji realized in his heart that the value of such treasures far exceeded simple offensive or defensive capabilities.
Only at his current Realm could one absorb the Profound Truths of the Great Dao within them so thoroughly and make them one's own.
These two top-tier Great Dao Profound Truths, originating from the very beginning of Chaos, merged perfectly with him, allowing his Limitless Primordial Realm to take a solid step forward.
During this period, he consumed another Primordial One Qi Purple Gold Pill and broke through to the third layer of the Limitless Primordial Realm. Although still some distance from the Primordial Limitless Middle Stage, he was far beyond what he had been when he first entered this Realm.
Now, even without using any supreme treasures, he could contend against a Primordial Limitless Middle Stage existence relying solely on his own Great Dao cultivation.
If he utilized his supreme treasures, Han Xuanji felt he could still face an enemy even if they were a Limitless Primordial Late Stage existence.
In other words, even if the Demon Ancestor's true body arrived, he would have the strength to fight. Even if he didn't win, he had full confidence he wouldn't be defeated.
"Now it just depends on what that Demon Ancestor plans to do..."
Han Xuanji once again observed the future Karma of the Immortal Realm. The heavenly secrets were becoming increasingly blurred and confusing; even he could not see the full picture.
The future in the simulations could only serve as a reference; he naturally wouldn't believe it entirely.
An existence like the Demon Ancestor, when faced with two Primordial Limitless beings, would absolutely not let matters rest. He would only seek other methods, perhaps going into hiding to wait for the Celestial Emperor to leave, or waiting for Han Xuanji himself to leave before making a move.
It was also possible he would call for outside help; after all, it was impossible for the Demon Ancestor not to have some connections and influence within the Chaos.
After thinking for a moment, Han Xuanji took advantage of this gap to glance at the Immortal Realm and see what his Disciples were up to.
In several key locations along the border of the Immortal and Demon Domains, the flames of war had been continuous for a century, and the aura of slaughter soared to the skies.
Just like in the simulated future, Jiang Hao had joined the Celestial Court and was titled the 'God of War Xuanhao.' His path of the god of war grew purer by the day. Especially after comprehending the dao-rhythms of several Gods of War in the Celestial Court, he had carved out a path unique to himself. His achievements were undoubtedly much greater than in the simulation.
With the Primordial Battle Halberd bestowed by Han Xuanji and the continuous tempering of his Heavenly Eye Divine Ability in battle, ordinary Demon Race experts at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level were no match for him at all.
Nangong Wenjian, who practiced the Way of the Sword, did not charge into battle like Jiang Hao. Instead, he was like an assassin, seeking out only the powerful existences of the Demon Race.
His Sword Intent became increasingly pure. Everything he had gained from ten years of listening to the Dao was fully integrated into his own Sword Dao. Every move and style secretly harmonized with the wonders of the Myriad Manifestations. Wherever his sword light passed, it often carried a terrifying power capable of annihilating everything.
Compared to the trials at the border, the interior of the Human Race's ten Great Immortal Domains had undergone a silent yet earth-shaking transformation over the past century.
Lu Fan presided over the Myriad Manifestations Divine Dynasty, and his majesty as the Human Emperor grew daily.
He did not abuse Han Xuanji's reputation to exert pressure. Instead, he skillfully presented the fact that 'Xuantian Dao Venerable is of the Human Race and protects the Human Race.' As Han Xuanji's Disciple and the Human Emperor, it was only right for him to unify the Human Race.
Unlike in the simulation, Lu Fan encountered no resistance at all.
Was this a joke?
Who would dare to obstruct a Disciple of the Dao Venerable? Coupled with many great experts of the Human Race endorsing him, it was easy to make the powers of the ten Great Immortal Domains submit without any treacherous thoughts.
He integrated resources, reformed corrupt policies, promoted more efficient cultivation methods, and established a merit system to encourage the younger generation. Simultaneously, he used thunderous means to purge internal forces that were tainted by the Demon Race or were outwardly obedient but inwardly defiant.
The overlords of the various Immortal Domains initially had doubts, but faced with the ability and tactics Lu Fan displayed—especially the unspeakable backer behind him and the tangible improvement in overall interests—the vast majority chose to go with the flow.
In just a short century, the concentration of Spiritual Qi within the Human Race's territories generally increased, and geniuses emerged in large numbers. Veteran experts who had been stuck at the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage for years broke through one after another, and the number of newly ascended Grand Unity Golden Immortals far exceeded any previous period of peace.
Han Xuanji naturally knew the reason behind this.
The Human Race's Luck was inherently linked to the overall Luck of the Immortal Realm. Now that the Celestial Court had re-established order and Han Xuanji had made his grand appearance, the Luck of the entire Immortal Realm had been greatly enhanced invisibly.
As the 'Heavenly Dao Race' designated by the Immortal Ancestor, the Human Race was the first to benefit.
The entire Human Race displayed a vibrant and enterprising atmosphere. Its overall strength and cohesion reached a Peak not seen since the ancient war between Immortals and Demons.
Even the boundaries of Chaos outside the Thirty-Three Heavens were slowly and steadily expanding outward, driven by the upward surge of the Immortal Realm's overall Luck.
When Han Xuanji turned his gaze toward Su Ming, he was slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected the Nether Lord to still find Su Ming.
The two of them had still ended up together.
However, unlike in the simulation, although there was a huge disparity in their strength, they were vaguely in an equal position. The Nether Lord spoke to Su Ming in a gentle and polite tone during their discussions.
Just as Han Xuanji caught a glimpse, the Nether Lord felt a sense of being watched. He looked at Su Ming and suddenly realized it was a warning from Han Xuanji.
The Nether Lord's abnormality also caught Su Ming's attention, and he said casually:
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to teach me the Nether Scripture? What are the conditions?"
"Uh... no conditions."
The Nether Lord froze for a moment before replying.
