"Master..."
Li Taiqing tightly gripped his Lifebound Immortal Sword, his hands exerting force.
Lu Fan took a deep breath, his eyes turning slightly red at this moment.
He seemed to see that figure from the Lower Realm again, the one who was always calm and composed yet always shielded him from the wind and rain at critical moments.
Lin Potian slammed a fist into his palm and growled:
"If only I had Master's skills!"
The others also felt guilty for their own powerlessness.
Jiang Hao couldn't help but say:
"I want to follow Master and go there too."
As soon as these words were spoken, even Su Ming was tempted. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Hong say sternly:
"Go where? To cause trouble?"
Even Xiao Hong had cast aside his usual lazy demeanor, looking with complex eyes in the direction Han Xuanji had disappeared. It was also the first time he had seen such a great side of Han Xuanji.
Hearing these little rascals' death-defying words, he immediately became angry.
"You truly overestimate yourselves. Is that a place where you Cultivators who have just stepped into the Limitless Primordial realm can go?"
Although it had once been a Demon God that roamed the Primordial era and had traveled through Chaos, it knew deep down what the "Lord of Ten Thousand Voids" represented. That was a trouble that even the Immortal Ancestor at his peak would not want to easily touch.
"Even if I go, I'll only be a hindrance to Master."
Xiao Hong sighed and said helplessly.
Xiao Hong's scolding was like ice water poured over their heads, instantly clearing the minds of the hot-headed Children of Destiny like Jiang Hao and Su Ming.
Indeed, going there would only cause trouble.
"Furthermore, would Master be such a reckless person? If he didn't have absolute certainty..."
Xiao Hong's words immediately made everyone feel that it made sense.
They also knew Han Xuanji's character; he wouldn't make such a move without the confidence of victory.
Meanwhile, the countless immortals and gods of the Immortal Realm witnessed this scene, though they did not understand as clearly as the members of the Xuantian Dao Palace.
That Emperor Ziwei, who was in charge of the Myriad Stars and had seen countless storms, actually felt his nose tingle slightly at this moment and sighed:
"Xuantian Dao Venerable... truly a white jade pillar holding up the heavens!
In a moment of crisis, he sacrificed himself and ventured into danger to protect our Immortal Realm's Foundation! Such magnanimity is beyond me!"
Beside him, Emperor Zhenglei, the emperor in charge of heavenly punishment who was always known for being iron-faced, was also filled with respect and said in a deep voice:
"A real man should be like this! Heavenly Venerable Han, please accept my bow!"
As he spoke, he actually bowed deeply with hands clasped toward the direction of the Purgatory.
Many more middle and lower-level heavenly soldiers and generals, immortal officials, and Fairies were already moved to tears.
Their cultivation levels might not be high enough to fully understand the mysteries of Limitless Primordial, but they could see who was fighting for this world.
Those hidden powerful figures and Loose Cultivator Masters watching the battle were also shaken in their hearts.
"In the past, I heard that the Dao Ancestor opened a path for all living beings, suppressed the Ancestral Witches, and stabilized the Immortal Realm, and I yearned for it.
Today, I see Xuantian Dao Venerable venturing alone into the Purgatory to protect Reincarnation... Such character and such responsibility are enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dao Ancestor, or even... surpass him!"
A white-haired old immortal who had once witnessed the Dao Ancestor's style had his beard trembling, and his eyes were full of tears of admiration.
"How fortunate it is for our Immortal Realm to have Xuantian Dao Venerable!"
Countless Loose Cultivators and Cultivators from small Schools shouted in their hearts, their respect for Han Xuanji reaching its peak.
Even the Primordial Beings who had just expressed their submission and had various thoughts were now greatly shocked.
The Evil Qilin stared blankly at the entrance that had calmly disappeared and murmured:
"He... he just went in like that? For these... weaklings?"
They naturally didn't know that Han Xuanji could Sign In at the Reincarnation Purgatory and had already seen through the strength of the Lord of Ten Thousand Voids, acting without fear.
They only knew that Han Xuanji didn't have to fight so hard; after all, as a Limitless Primordial existence, he coexisted with the Dao and was almost immortal.
Unknowingly, a crack seemed to be pried open in the Evil Qilin's cold and selfish outlook.
Di Jiang and the other Twelve Ancestral Witches had even more complex expressions.
They had just received Han Xuanji's kindness, and in the blink of an eye, they saw him stepping into the Purgatory forbidden land they dreaded without hesitation to maintain the Immortal Realm's Reincarnation and face that terrifying "Lord of Ten Thousand Voids."
This contrast caused the admiration that had just risen in their hearts to rapidly sublimate.
"We were... indeed arrogant and short-sighted before."
Hou Tu sighed softly, her tone full of emotion.
Di Jiang remained silent for a long time before slowly saying:
"Xuantian Dao Venerable... is truly one of great compassion and great responsibility who has attained the Dao.
This favor... the living beings of the Immortal Realm owe him, and my Witch Clan also owes him. I'm going too."
As soon as Di Jiang said this, not only did the eleven Ancestral Witches behind him look at him in unison, but even the Heavenly Emperor in the distance, who was trying his best to maintain the order of the Immortal Realm, as well as the people of the Xuantian Dao Palace and various immortals and gods, all focused their gazes on him.
"Big Brother!"
Gonggong said urgently, his eyes showing intent but also a hint of instinctive dread for the depths of the Purgatory,
"That place... is too dangerous."
They had lived in the Reincarnation Purgatory for many years and naturally knew the dangers within.
"No, since we have returned, we are naturally a part of the Immortal Realm. We cannot sit idly by in such a major matter. I alone will follow Xuantian Dao Venerable; you all should not follow."
Di Jiang said firmly.
This was also a good opportunity to restore their reputation.
Hearing this, the Cultivators of the Immortal Realm all secretly approved of this leader of the Ancestral Witches, recognizing that he could distinguish right from wrong in major matters.
Even Han Xuanji's Disciples were quite happy.
"Master really didn't misjudge him. I see that this Ancestral Witch isn't a bad person either..."
Lin Potian muttered.
He had once received some legacies from the Witch Clan. They weren't very Advanced, but they had provided him with a lot of help in the early days.
"Fellow Daoist Di Jiang."
The Heavenly Emperor's voice was tired but still steady as it slowly came over,
"Thank you. You are familiar with the Reincarnation Purgatory, so you can help Fellow Daoist Han."
...On the other side.
Han Xuanji was completely unaware of how moved the Cultivators outside were; he only wanted to go and Sign In quickly.
This Reincarnation Purgatory was rumored to have been opened by the Immortal Ancestor and reinforced by the Dao Ancestor. With countless Primordial Beings and the existence of the Lord of Ten Thousand Voids presiding over it, the dao rhyme would definitely not be low.
In the blink of an eye, Han Xuanji ignored the Chaos in the Land of Reincarnation and did not rush to sort out the Reincarnation.
Not solving the trouble of the Lord of Ten Thousand Voids would only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
Arriving deep within the Land of Reincarnation, next to the entrance leading to the Reincarnation Purgatory.
The System's prompt immediately sounded in Han Xuanji's mind.
[Detected eight-star Sign In location: Reincarnation Purgatory entrance. Do you wish to Sign In?]
For a mere eight-star Sign In location, Han Xuanji wasn't surprised.
However, it was better than nothing, and the dao rhyme here was unique, so there might be an unexpected surprise.
"System, Sign In."
Han Xuanji thought to himself, not holding too high expectations.
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully signing in at the eight-star Sign In location: Reincarnation Purgatory entrance. You have obtained the Reincarnation Purgatory Central Restriction Dao Seal.]
