Upon hearing these words, everyone's hearts surged with emotion.
They naturally knew what this Realm represented, and they also knew that Xuantian Dao Palace had already cultivated two Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm Prodigies in a short period.
Especially the younger Disciples, who held a high level of respect for Han Xuanji.
"Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal... is only the beginning?"
"The beginning of the Great Dao... It seems that in the eyes of the Grandmaster, our meager cultivation doesn't even count as entering the threshold?"
Countless Disciples' Dao Hearts trembled; many of them had the lifelong goal of attaining the status of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and catching a glimpse of the Great Dao was a dream come true.
But now, the Ancestral Master sitting on the lotus platform casually told them that it was merely the "beginning of the Great Dao."
While the newcomers were still in shock, the older Disciples already had smiles on their faces.
Thinking back, they were also shocked when they first heard these words.
But now, they were indeed very close to this Realm, and some had even stepped into the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm.
Although the atmosphere in Xuantian Dao Palace was very good and the relationship between the Disciples was excellent, they were all Prodigies and naturally unwilling to fall too far behind; some even feared that Han Xuanji would think they were being lazy in their cultivation or not working hard enough.
Han Xuanji, on the other hand, felt that this kind of atmosphere was good.
It wouldn't be good if all the Disciples were idle and "lying flat" like Xiao Bai.
Competition provides motivation.
Han Xuanji scanned the crowd; his several Personal Disciples naturally took the lead and sat on the seven foremost Enlightenment Prayer Mats, while other Disciples had to bring their own seats and sit in the back. Even so, they showed no dissatisfaction.
"Not bad."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
Unlike Sects like Divine Mystery Sect, his Xuantian Dao Palace only accepted elite Disciples. Every one of these Disciples had amazing Comprehension Ability and outstanding Aptitude. Among them were many Immortal Realm Prodigy Cultivators, as well as a few Disciples from Lingxu Heavenly Palace.
Because Han Xuanji and the Disciples all came from Lingxu Heavenly Palace, there was naturally a sense of camaraderie. Occasionally, Lingxu Heavenly Palace would send some Core Disciples to Xuantian Dao Palace to learn.
After all, even not counting Han Xuanji, a group of Grand Unity Golden Immortals who were almost at the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm already made it a rare Holy Land Sect in the Immortal Realm, not to mention the superior cultivation environment and many top-tier Legacies.
Among the Disciples, one was Zhou Li, one of the ten current True Disciples of Lingxu Heavenly Palace, whose cultivation had already reached the Golden Immortal Realm.
Because he was a Disciple of Yunmiao Immortal Venerable, he had some connection with Han Xuanji and was recommended by Lingxu Heavenly Palace to study at Xuantian Dao Palace.
Zhou Li also felt fortunate to have this Opportunity. On the day he arrived at Xuantian Dao Palace, Li Taiqing even met with him and gave him much encouragement.
Han Xuanji didn't say much and began his lecture:
"The movements of heaven follow a constant path; the Great Dao is subtle and profound. It emerges without a gap, enters without a seam, moves in a cycle without ceasing, and stands alone without change..."
When Han Xuanji's voice rang out, it officially announced the start of the lecture. Everyone focused their minds and listened intently, not daring to relax for a moment, as many knew this was a supreme Opportunity.
The weakest among them were at the Golden Immortal level; even if they could only grasp a sliver of the mysteries within, they would benefit infinitely.
Even Xiao Hong secretly came to the lecture site to listen carefully.
He felt that if he listened to Han Xuanji's lectures a few more times, he might be able to Breakthrough to Limitless Primordial... In the Heavenly Court's Lingxiao Palace, the various immortals and gods gathered.
The matter of the Reincarnation Purgatory had clearly become a difficult problem now.
Although the Heavenly Court nominally ruled over ten thousand worlds, its authority had not been fully reclaimed, at least not the authority over Reincarnation.
"What should be done about this?"
The one speaking was Emperor Dongyue of the Heavenly Court, who was originally the emperor in charge of the authority over the netherworld in the Immortal Realm. Now that the authority over Reincarnation was lost, his strength had dropped to the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal level.
He had just returned to the Heavenly Court for a hundred years when he encountered this matter.
"Hmm... in my opinion, why not go to the Thirty-Three Heavens and ask the Great Heavenly Venerable to intervene?"
At this time, Emperor Ziwei spoke.
"Can the Great Heavenly Venerable solve this?"
Emperor Dongyue was somewhat skeptical when he heard this title, which was often mentioned by many immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court.
Emperor Ziwei glared at Emperor Dongyue and said:
"Naturally. The Great Heavenly Venerable's power is supernatural; he is at the Limitless Primordial Realm, and his strength is unfathomable. You haven't seen the Great Heavenly Venerable take action, so how can you imagine his power?"
"Moreover, the Great Heavenly Venerable is a Powerful Expert even among those in the Limitless Primordial Realm!"
Emperor Yuzhen also nodded and said:
"Indeed, I have personally seen the Great Heavenly Venerable take action, suppressing the Lord of Greed with a single move. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid our Immortal Realm would also be facing a huge threat. Now, the Demon Race doesn't even dare to make a move—isn't that relying on the Great Heavenly Venerable's strength?"
The various emperors' discussion became more heated.
At this time, the Heavenly Emperor coughed lightly, and the immortals and gods regained their usual majesty.
The Heavenly Emperor scanned the room and said in a deep voice:
"I have naturally discussed the matter of the Reincarnation Purgatory with the Great Heavenly Venerable long ago. The authority over Reincarnation has been stolen by the Demon Ancestor, and even I find it difficult to interfere with his actions. Fortunately, the Great Heavenly Venerable is profoundly righteous and has agreed to help. This is a blessing for our Heavenly Court and for the Immortal Realm."
In the Lingxiao Palace, as the Heavenly Emperor's words fell, the originally heavy atmosphere lightened.
The immortals and gods showed more or less excited expressions on their faces.
Emperor Ziwei stroked his beard and nodded, his eyes filled with absolute trust in Han Xuanji's strength:
"With the Great Heavenly Venerable taking action, there is a ninety percent certainty in this matter. Although the Demon Ancestor is cunning and fierce, since the Great Heavenly Venerable could defeat him once, he can defeat him a second time."
"Furthermore, although the Reincarnation Purgatory is dangerous, not all those suppressed within are necessarily stubborn and willing to be driven by the Demon Ancestor."
Emperor Yuzhen added:
"Brother Ziwei is quite right. As far as I know, the ferocity of many beings in the Reincarnation Purgatory has been mostly worn away. If they can be guided and divided, we might be able to weaken the Demon Ancestor's momentum of using others to do his dirty work."
"Divide and guide? Easier said than done!"
Emperor Dongyue still couldn't help but frown at this moment, "Those old monsters who have been locked up for countless eons—which one of them isn't arrogant and filled with towering resentment?"
"Asking them to follow our arrangements is no different from negotiating with a tiger. In my opinion, we should fully mobilize our troops and set up an inescapable net around the Land of Reincarnation. Suppressing every one that comes out is the right way!"
"Emperor Dongyue's words are incorrect."
An old man dressed in white with a transcendent aura spoke slowly; it was Emperor Jiuyao, also a veteran Primordial Chaos Expert.
"If our Heavenly Court's army rashly marches to the Land of Reincarnation and starts an all-out war with the escaping ethnic groups, wouldn't that play right into the Demon Ancestor's hands, letting him consume our Immortal Realm's strength and perhaps even forcing those forces that could have been won over to fall completely toward the Demon Domain?"
"This is an inferior strategy."
"If these demons have seen the Great Heavenly Venerable's Divine Might, they will naturally know the weight of the situation and submit without a fight."
The immortals and gods spoke one after another, and through the debate, they gradually clarified their thoughts.
How to better cooperate with the Great Heavenly Venerable to solve this was the key.
Instead, it made the Heavenly Emperor look a bit awkward.
It seemed that in such a short time, Han Xuanji's reputation had already surpassed his.
Of course, the Heavenly Emperor didn't mind; instead, he felt it was quite good.
