[The great war was won, and the Immortal Realm returned to peace. The Heavenly Emperor reorganized the order of the Immortal Realm, supported weak Immortal Domains, and nourished the shattered world. Under the joint governance of your Master and the Heavenly Emperor, the Immortal Realm's Origin Qi recovered rapidly, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi became increasingly dense, and Xuantian Dao Palace became a Supreme Holy Land dreamed of by countless living beings.]
[Your Dao Heart became increasingly firm due to your obsession. With your Master's tacit permission, you bid farewell to your Master and stepped into Chaos alone. You experienced many life-and-death situations in Chaos, braving Chaos storms and Dao-Devil Lairs.]
[Ten thousand years later, your Celestial Golden Immortal Realm approached Perfection. On this day, at a branch of the Chaos River of Destiny, you felt a strange yet familiar dao-rhythm. This aura was incredibly ancient, yet you felt a great sense of affinity. You followed the rhythm and arrived at a place of Chaos Origin. Surprisingly, a strand of the Dao Ancestor's will remained here; it was a Legacy mark left by the Dao Ancestor.]
[The Dao Ancestor's will directly recognized your Aptitude and passed the complete Dao Ancestor Legacy to you. You went into seclusion here for ten thousand years, merging the Dao Ancestor's Legacy with what you had learned, finally touching the threshold of Limitless Primordial, and your Dao Heart attained enlightenment.]
[You returned to the palace to pay respects to your Master and informed him of the Dao Ancestor's Legacy. Upon hearing this, your Master nodded slightly, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes, but he did not say much. He only helped you polish your dao foundation and did not give you much guidance. You also knew that breaking through to Limitless Primordial could only rely on yourself.]
[You discarded all distracting thoughts, observing the Dao with your heart and manifesting the Dao with your body. You repeatedly deduced the Great Dao techniques you had created in the past, merging countless Great Dao Laws into your own Dao rules, making the Great Dao increasingly harmonious.]
[Years later, your Dao Heart became increasingly firm through bitter cultivation. The barrier of the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm shattered with a bang, and a wisp of Limitless dao-rhythm was born from the depths of your Divine Soul. You successfully condensed the Limitless Dao Fruit and engraved your own Dao Seal in the Sea of Great Dao Origin. You finally broke through to become a Limitless Primordial!]
[On the day of your Breakthrough, auspicious clouds filled the sky above Xuantian Dao Palace. The pressure of Limitless Primordial covered the entire Immortal Realm, and the sounds of the Dao echoed through ten thousand worlds. The Powerful Experts of the Immortal Realm sent envoys one after another to offer congratulations, saying your dao-rhythm was transcendent and possessed the style of the Dao Ancestor.]
[The Heavenly Emperor is now your Junior Brother Lin Feng. He brought many Imperial Lords of the Heavenly Court to offer congratulations, and the whole world celebrated.]
[Master stood above the clouds, looking at you with a smile and a nod. He raised his hand and bestowed upon you a Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasure, saying: "Wuji, you have achieved the Dao. From now on, the Xuantian Dao Palace and the common people of the Immortal Realm will all need your care."]
[Doubt arose in your heart, but you did not think much of it and accepted the treasure calmly.]
[On this day, Master found you. "My Dao is complete, and I shall go to the Hongmeng Sea to seek the Path to the Other Shore. Xuantian Dao Palace is now entrusted to you."]
[You bowed deeply, your voice hoarser than ever before: "Master, this departure... is there truly no return?"]
[Master looked at you, the complexity in his eyes turning into a gentle smile. He placed his hand on your shoulder, carrying his final expectations and instructions: "The world is vast, and the Grandmist is boundless. The Path to the Other Shore is difficult to reverse. Perhaps one day, when you achieve Perfection and step past that Dao-marker, we will meet in a higher dimension."]
[You bowed to the ground, your voice choking, but every word was firm: "Disciple Yun Wuji will surely guard Xuantian Dao Palace well, living up to Master's trust and my original heart!"]
[Master formally entrusted Xuantian Dao Palace to your hands and told you many secrets about the world beyond Chaos. You only then realized the vastness of the world; even Limitless Primordial was not the end. Master left a Dao-marker for you, telling you that after reaching the Peak of Limitless Primordial, you could choose Transcendence. You nodded, having already anticipated this in your heart. Even so, sadness welled up from within. After this parting, you did not know if you would ever meet again.]
"The 'me' in the simulation chose Transcendence..."
Han Xuanji pondered silently, not at all surprised.
Although the System was gone, his talent remained. After so many years, he had likely already reached the Perfection of Limitless Primordial and, like the Dao Ancestor, ultimately chose Transcendence.
He just didn't know if he had found a new Dao-marker himself or continued to use the one left by the Dao Ancestor.
He only knew the location of the Dao-marker now but had not yet come into contact with it and didn't know much. It seemed he had to find time to investigate it; there were likely messages left by the Dao Ancestor.
As for Xuantian Dao Palace, it naturally had to be handed over to the person with the strongest cultivation.
With Yun Wuji's Aptitude, he had only just broken through to Limitless Primordial; the other Disciples probably hadn't been in the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm for long.
He just didn't know if Yun Wuji had transcended in the end.
Han Xuanji's thoughts flashed by, and he continued reading.
[Behind you, Li Taiqing, Jiang Hao, Lin Feng, and other fellow brothers stood silently, no one speaking.]
[As the Heavenly Emperor, Lin Feng had long since shed his majesty as a Supreme. His eyes were full of reluctance, and he clenched his fists. Scenes from the past flashed before his eyes, and the bitterness in his heart was beyond words.]
[Jiang Hao, who was usually a cheerful person, had red eyes now. His fists were tightly clenched as he said in a low voice: "Master is gone... we can no longer hide behind Master!"]
[Li Taiqing stood at the head of the Disciples. As the Senior Brother, he was the first to compose his emotions, yet he still couldn't hide the bloodshot streaks in his eyes. He looked at you, then toward the direction where Master had left, and said solemnly: "Master has sought the Path to the Other Shore. We must never let Master down!"]
[Master's departure was like a wake-up call ringing in the hearts of every Disciple. They finally understood that Master's protection was not eternal. Only by becoming strong themselves could they follow in Master's footsteps and protect this world they relied on for survival.]
[You began to take charge of Xuantian Dao Palace. From that day on, the atmosphere of Xuantian Dao Palace changed quietly. Even Xiao Bai began to practice seriously and was no longer lazy.]
[Many years passed, and many Prodigy Powerful Experts were born in the Immortal Realm. Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm Cultivators emerged one after another, and several new Limitless Primordial experts even appeared. The Immortal Realm ushered in an unprecedented period of prosperity.]
[As the new Master of Xuantian Dao Palace, you still maintained your former humility, often holding lectures on the Dao platform to guide the younger generation of Prodigies. Your three Disciples also became great talents, holding their own and guarding an Immortal Domain. Under your leadership, Xuantian Dao Palace's reputation was even greater than before.]
[Time flowed on, and a million years passed in the blink of an eye. The Immortal Realm became increasingly prosperous. Some Disciples of Xuantian Dao Palace had already broken through to Limitless Primordial. In Chaos, someone imitated the Demon Ancestor and questioned you about the secret of Transcendence. However, your strength was no longer what it used to be; you easily repelled the enemy and guarded the peace of the Immortal Realm. Just as you were thinking about the matter of Transcendence...]
[On this day, Chaos gained spirit. The will of chaos sensed that the living beings under its command were transcending one after another, escaping its control. It was furious. The two Supreme existences sleeping in the Chaos Return to Ruins finally awakened—the Darkness Forbidden Master, transformed from the Chaos dark Origin, wielding the Chaos ultimate Laws; and the Primal Calamity Master, the Incarnation of the Chaos destruction will, also wielding the Chaos ultimate Laws.]
