"It's over."
Han Xuanji's tone was flat, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
Di Jiang looked incredulous, looked at Han Xuanji, and then bowed again.
"The Dao Venerable's Divine Ability reaches the heavens and penetrates the earth. Di Jiang... is truly convinced."
This time, he finally witnessed Han Xuanji's true strength and understood how ignorant he had been before.
At the same time, he secretly cursed the Demon Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor. If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have acted this way.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, feeling a bit satisfied.
What kind of person was Di Jiang?
He was the dignified head of the Ancestral Witches, a figure who commanded the winds and clouds in the Primordial Era, yet he acted like a subordinate before him.
After a few pleasantries, Han Xuanji did not forget the main business and said to Di Jiang:
"You go back first. I'll stay behind to reinforce the Seal."
Hearing this, Di Jiang nodded and left, while his respect for Han Xuanji deepened further.
Not only were Han Xuanji's Divine Ability invincible, but he also cared about the big picture, staying alone to reinforce the Seal and taking on all the risks and hardships. Such a demeanor truly made him feel ashamed of his own inferiority.
After Di Jiang's aura had completely receded, only Han Xuanji remained in this ninth level of the Reincarnation Purgatory that had just experienced a great battle.
Han Xuanji took a step forward and arrived right in front of that towering giant stele.
Feeling it up close, he sensed the dao-rhythm belonging to the Immortal Ancestor on the stele, the Restriction Seals left by the Dao Ancestor, and the Lord of Ten Thousand Voids he had integrated into the stele.
This place was indeed one of the power sources and cores of the entire Reincarnation Purgatory, and even the Reincarnation Origin of the Immortal Realm. The concentration and purity of the dao-rhythm were far beyond ordinary regions.
As he stood silently before the stele, the System prompt sounded.
[Detected 8-star check-in location 'Core of Reincarnation Purgatory'. Check in?]
"Still 8-star..."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes.
He didn't know what would count as a 9-star check-in location. Based on his past experience, an 8-star check-in location yielded rewards at the Primordial Chaos level. However, the top-tier 8-star locations offered Limitless Primordial level rewards, while the lesser ones might only have ordinary Primordial Chaos level rewards.
"System, check in."
Han Xuanji thought silently.
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in at the 8-star location 'Core of Reincarnation Purgatory'. Obtained reward: Origin Crystal of the Lord of Ten Thousand Voids - 'heart of nothingness'.]
"Continue checking in..."
Han Xuanji didn't look at the rewards but continued to check in until he couldn't anymore.
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in at the 8-star location 'Core of Reincarnation Purgatory'. Obtained Entry 'Chaos Spiritual Root'.]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in at the 8-star location 'Core of Reincarnation Purgatory'. Obtained reward: Limitless Divine Ability 'Chaos Heaven-Splitting Slash'.]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in at the 8-star location 'Core of Reincarnation Purgatory'. Obtained reward: 'chaos prison suppressing stele'.]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in at the 8-star location 'Core of Reincarnation Purgatory'. Obtained reward: 'Dao Ancestor's Insights'.]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in at the 8-star location 'Core of Reincarnation Purgatory'. Obtained reward: 'Reincarnation World-Purifying Art'.]
[The dao-rhythm here is exhausted. Cannot continue checking in.]
Each reward was of immeasurable value.
Han Xuanji took a deep breath, suppressing the waves in his heart. He began to take stock of his gains.
First was the "heart of nothingness" formed from the Origin Crystal of the Lord of Ten Thousand Voids. In the System space, there was an extra fist-sized, grayish-white strange crystal, with shadows of countless worlds being born and destroyed inside.
"As expected of a System reward, truly a grand gesture."
Han Xuanji nodded secretly.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Voids was the core that stabilized the Immortal Realm's Reincarnation. If he extracted the other's Origin, it would directly lead to Chaos in the Immortal Realm and an imbalance in Reincarnation. Therefore, he chose to suppress and Seal him again.
And this heart of nothingness was the pure and incredibly stable Origin power stripped by the System from the Lord of Ten Thousand Voids' Dao Origin. It was undoubtedly much cleaner than the Origin of the Lord of Greed that Han Xuanji had refined before.
Products of the System naturally had no lingering concerns and would not affect the Immortal Realm.
"Not bad, not bad."
Han Xuanji looked at the System's introduction of this item.
[heart of nothingness: Contains the purest Void Dao Origin. After refining, it can significantly enhance the understanding and control of 'Void' and 'End of All Things' type Daos. One can also attempt to use it as a lead to reverse-deduce the creation mystery of 'turning void into reality'. (Refining this item carries the risk of being assimilated by 'Void'; one needs to firmly anchor it with their own Dao.)]
"It really is a good thing, but refining it isn't absolutely safe."
Han Xuanji thought secretly. If he had obtained this thing while in the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm, he probably wouldn't have dared to refine it.
Fortunately, with his current strength, it should be enough.
There was no need to turn this thing into a Medicinal Pill.
With a thought, Han Xuanji placed the heart of nothingness properly in the System space and looked at the other rewards.
[Chaos Spiritual Root: Supreme Aptitude, unique throughout the ages. Not achieved through Acquired cultivation, but a manifestation of the favor of the Chaos Origin's will. Those with the Chaos Spiritual Root can seize the mysterious creations of Chaos and possess extremely strong growth and adaptability. They carry great Karma and missions, and possess the potential to transcend everything.]
"Chaos Spiritual Root... Supreme Aptitude. Even an Entry of this level... only counts as 8-star?"
Han Xuanji was somewhat shocked.
Undoubtedly, this Entry had nothing to do with the Lord of Ten Thousand Voids; it was likely an Entry from the Dao Ancestor.
Han Xuanji had heard many legends about the Dao Ancestor. His cultivation speed could be said to be not much slower than his own.
More importantly, the other party grew up in such a dangerous environment as the Primordial Era. One could only say his skill in the Gou Dao was even above his own.
He opened up the Immortal Dao, laying the supreme Foundation for the Immortal Realm, and finally went to the Hongmeng Sea to find the true path of transcendence. Only he fit this standard.
As for the Immortal Ancestor, he was a born Chaos primordial being with invincible power, and was not in this category.
With many Entries now added to him, Han Xuanji's Aptitude was already at the peak of the Immortal Realm, even much stronger than a Chaos Demon God. But he felt that after possessing the Chaos Spiritual Root, his Aptitude would become even more exaggerated.
"Claim reward."
Han Xuanji did not hesitate and chose to claim it.
Immediately.
An indescribable sense of comfort emerged, and a mysteriously profound power erupted from his whole body, containing infinite, surging vitality and dao-rhythm. This was a transformation on the level of the Physical Body and Divine Soul.
Han Xuanji's whole body emitted a milky white light, his black hair floated up, and combined with his already ethereal appearance, he looked incredibly holy.
Within the light, Han Xuanji could clearly feel the impact of this power.
He could feel that there were no negative effects. His Physical Body was sublimating, becoming even more perfect than the body of an Ancestral Witch. Deep in his Divine Soul, the Profound Heaven Realm he had opened was also expanding crazily. Within the Profound Heaven Realm, Spiritual Qi fell like rain, and the whole world celebrated.
After a long time.
Han Xuanji carefully felt the changes in this power and opened his eyes. They were dotted with starlight, as if evolving the scene of the creation of Chaos.
The transformation did not bring any pain; instead, it made him feel extremely joyful, surpassing all pleasures, just like a huge Breakthrough.
"Chaos Spiritual Root... so this is what it feels like."
His will seemed to have jumped out of the Immortal Realm and arrived above Chaos, just as in the Immortal Realm, overlooking all living beings and things in Chaos.
