On this day, it was not only within the Xuantian Dao Domain; across the entire Immortal Realm, even in all corners of the Heavenly Court, after a brief moment of bewilderment, reverence and worship erupted.
Especially the Celestial Soldiers and Generals—they were the first to roar.
"We won!"
"Praise the Xuantian Great Heavenly Venerable!"
"Is the Lord of Greed dead just like that?"
After this battle, in the hearts of all living beings, Han Xuanji was no longer merely a living myth; he was the symbol of invincibility!
Even the Nether Lord couldn't help but contact Su Ming:
"Your Senior Brother is too strong."
"Now you know. I told you not to worry."
Su Ming replied with remarkable speed...
Meanwhile, Han Xuanji began dealing with the Lord of Greed. An ancient, massive bell appeared—it was the chaos bell.
Then, the taiji diagram manifested. Han Xuanji, harnessing the power of these two great dao sacred artifacts, suddenly began refining the Lord of Greed.
The Lord of Greed wailed under the erosion of this power, his colossal body disintegrating inch by inch. He attempted to flee but was firmly locked in place by the taiji diagram, his spiritual consciousness being ground away bit by bit.
A Limitless Primordial Origin delivered right to his doorstep naturally had to be handled properly, not wasted.
"I wonder how the System managed it..."
Han Xuanji was also somewhat curious.
Back in the simulation, the Limitless Primordial Origin's power was of an incredibly pure essence, which was why he could break through so rapidly.
Time flew by, hundreds of years passing.
(T/N: Time sure is passing a lot as of late)
Only then did Han Xuanji finish refining the Lord of Greed. Truly worthy of being a Limitless Primordial existence; even with the combined force of two great dao sacred artifacts, it took so much time.
Before him floated a constantly shifting mass of light—the Origin left behind after the Lord of Greed, 'Gluttony,' had his spiritual consciousness extinguished. The energy and Dao fragments contained within were enough to drive any Primal Chaos Realm existence mad.
"Even after being cleansed by the great dao sacred artifacts, this Origin of the Lord of Greed isn't pure enough. It would be better to allocate a portion to forge the chaos heaven gate... The rest can be used to refine the Primordial One Qi Purple Gold Pill."
Han Xuanji pondered silently.
Completely purifying the Lord of Greed's Origin would be a significant challenge even for him.
If the essence of the power wasn't pure enough, he would need to expend a great deal of his own strength to refine it. Not only would the efficiency be low, but it would also be wasteful.
Only by integrating a portion of the Limitless Primordial Origin would the chaos heaven gate be truly completed. Not only could it defend against attacks from Limitless Primordial existences, but it could even unleash attacks at the Limitless Primordial level—quite useful indeed.
As for the Primordial One Qi Purple Gold Pill, it was the pinnacle achievement of Taishang Dao Venerable's alchemical path. One of its core Materials was precisely the Origin of a Limitless Primordial Realm existence. If he could successfully refine this pill, it would save him countless years of arduous cultivation, allowing him to break through to the Late Stage of the Limitless Primordial Realm much earlier.
"As for the auxiliary Alchemy Materials... Fortunately, I obtained quite a few treasures from previous check-ins, and these planted Spiritual Roots will also come in handy."
Just as Han Xuanji was silently contemplating, he noticed Li Taiqing waiting outside, seeking an audience.
Ever since he took action to suppress the Lord of Greed, the various factions of the Immortal Realm had been trying to curry favor with him. They took turns sending resources to the Xuantian Dao Palace and even the Lingxu Heavenly Palace, or offered guidance to Lu Fan, Jiang Hao, and others to build closer ties.
Among them were even the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court and some reclusive great powers.
Hundreds of years passed, and the Demon Race had become much more low-key. The Immortal Realm was developing better and better.
The Xuantian Dao Domain where he resided developed especially rapidly. Han Xuanji didn't prohibit Cultivators from the Immortal Realm from coming to the Xuantian Dao Domain, simply letting it develop naturally. After all, with him presiding, no one would dare cause trouble.
At this point, Han Xuanji allowed Li Taiqing to enter the hall.
Similar to before, Li Taiqing reported on the development of the Xuantian Dao Palace. This time, however, he was very excited, his eyes filled with admiration.
After reporting the basic situation, Li Taiqing couldn't help but ask:
"Master, have you now surpassed the Limitless Primordial level?"
Han Xuanji said lightly:
"I am still at the Limitless Primordial Realm, just a bit more formidable within the same Realm."
"I see."
Li Taiqing nodded, then broached the main topic:
"Master, the Immortal Realm Prodigy Yun Wuji wishes to see you."
Since witnessing Han Xuanji's prowess, Yun Wuji had also harbored thoughts of becoming his disciple.
For this, he had specifically sought out Jiang Hao and Nangong Wenjian.
However, these two fellows also didn't dare disturb Han Xuanji over such a matter, so they turned to Li Taiqing.
Li Taiqing wasn't surprised. After all, what kind of figure was his Master? It didn't matter if you were some peerless Prodigy, once-in-a-millennium talent—that was only because his Master hadn't emerged yet.
He didn't make an exception because of Yun Wuji's reputation; instead, he deliberately tested him.
Making him wait patiently.
Unexpectedly, Yun Wuji's patience was so great. For hundreds of years, he never once stepped out of the Xuantian Dao Palace, sincerely seeking the Dao.
Therefore, Li Taiqing also acknowledged his Heart of Seeking the Dao and took this opportunity to specifically seek an audience with Han Xuanji.
Of course, if Han Xuanji refused to see him, Li Taiqing wouldn't actively plead on his behalf.
Whether they could become fellow disciples, Li Taiqing didn't care too much. If it lowered his own standing in his Master's eyes, that would be a true disaster.
"Yun Wuji..."
Han Xuanji naturally hadn't forgotten this top-tier Prodigy of the Immortal Realm.
He possessed supreme Luck, and his Comprehension Ability and natural talent were terrifyingly high.
One could say he was second only to Han Xuanji himself.
Han Xuanji had always been somewhat interested in his future; he was an excellent candidate for simulations.
If the other wanted to become his disciple, it wouldn't be easy to refuse.
At this level, Han Xuanji had little desire to take on disciples, nor did he concern himself with grand-disciples or such.
However, if such a Prodigy actively sought to become his disciple and he refused, it would seem somewhat pretentiously aloof.
"Let him come see me."
Han Xuanji gave a slight nod.
"Yes!"
Li Taiqing was also somewhat pleasantly surprised. After a respectful bow, he took his leave.
A moment later, an elegant, ethereal figure walked slowly into the hall from outside.
It was Yun Wuji.
He wore a simple, elegant Daoist robe, his features handsome. Between his brows, there was now a touch more depth compared to the past, his bearing transcendent.
However, at this moment, his eyes held an unprecedented solemnity, along with a trace of barely perceptible nervousness.
Upon entering the hall, Yun Wuji straightened his attire, his expression solemn. Facing Han Xuanji, who sat atop the chaos green lotus with an unfathomably profound aura, he performed an ancient, grand, and solemn ceremony of Three Bows and Nine Kowtows!
Each bow was steady and forceful, each kowtow came from the depths of his heart, his forehead gently touching the ground.
