Although the System prompt indicated that it was currently impossible to simulate the future after Transcendence and that simulating the other party required eight hundred simulation attempts, Han Xuanji had accumulated almost exactly enough simulation attempts. Rather than letting them sit idle, it was better to use them to investigate the future for an extra layer of security.
Han Xuanji's eyes flickered as he thought to himself:
"There's no point in hoarding simulation attempts; I might as well use them. I'll simulate the Soul Ancestor now to see if there are any variables in the future."
"System, begin simulating the Soul Ancestor," Han Xuanji muttered in his heart without the slightest hesitation.
[Simulation initiated. Consuming eight hundred simulation attempts. Simulation subject: Soul Ancestor (Perfected Limitless Primordial /Chaos Dominator, Reincarnation of Eternal Dao Lord)]
[Given that the Host has already broken through to the Perfected Limitless Primordial Realm, would you like to choose to reflect your own presence within the simulation? The Host in the simulation will not have the System, but will retain the Host's current cultivation and talents, and will have no memory of the System.]
Han Xuanji chose yes without a moment's hesitation.
What a joke. His main purpose for simulating the Soul Ancestor was to see if anything would happen in the future; what would be the point of excluding himself?
[Simulation beginning]
[You are the Reincarnation of an Eternal Dao Lord. After failing to charge toward a higher Realm, you fled in a wretched state to this primitive Chaos, hiding your identity and taking the title of Soul Ancestor. Your only obsession is to repair the thousand spirits vessel and return to the Eternal Continent to regain your Peak.]
...
[After taking your leave of Han Xuanji, you returned to the Soul Clan and applied yourself to repairing the thousand spirits vessel without the slightest negligence. You used the resources collected over countless years to repair the core components of the thousand spirits vessel bit by bit, not daring to be even slightly careless.]
[You proceeded with the repair work of the thousand spirits vessel step by step. One day, you heard that Han Xuanji was preaching to all living beings in the Immortal Realm, imparting countless laws and being called the Supreme Great Heavenly Venerable. You also sent out an Incarnation to actively go to the Xuantian Dao Palace to listen to him. You realized that he was likely not far from the Eternal Dao Lord Realm; perhaps after arriving at the Eternal Continent, he could achieve a Breakthrough within ten thousand years.]
[You felt no jealousy toward this; instead, you were happy. The better Han Xuanji's talent, the more benefits it would bring you. You made up your mind to build a good relationship with him within this Chaos.]
...
[Three thousand years passed quietly. Under your full efforts, the thousand spirits vessel was finally completely repaired.]
[Although it was not at the Peak state it had been when it first left the factory and its core performance had suffered some loss, it was enough to withstand most of the dangers of the Hongmeng Sea and reach the Eternal Route.]
[The moment the thousand spirits vessel was repaired, you went straight to the Xuantian Dao Palace in the Thirty-Three Heavens to find Han Xuanji and tell him the good news of the completed repair.]
[After a conversation, you discovered that Han Xuanji had long since settled all matters and was fully prepared.]
[The next day, without alerting the will of this Chaos, you both successfully broke through the constraints of this Chaos.]
[Simulation functionality restricted. Simulation terminated.]
"..."
Han Xuanji really wanted to say something.
Could he top up for a VIP membership? He really wanted to know what happened next.
However, he also knew there was truly no way.
There wasn't much information, but at least it let Han Xuanji know that no unexpected trouble would appear in the future and that Transcendence would be exceptionally smooth.
He just didn't know if they would be able to arrive at the Eternal Continent safely.
[Evaluation: Successful Transcendence, the path ahead is unknown!]
[Rewards obtained: Eternal-grade Cultivation Technique "Great Thousand Soul Book", one Eternal-grade battleship.]
The "Great Thousand Soul Book" was precisely the method the Soul Ancestor Cultivated, and it was something only core members of the Soul Clan could learn.
And the Soul Ancestor also had no authority to privately teach this Cultivation Technique to Han Xuanji, so she only gave Han Xuanji the slightly inferior Sacred Flame Dao Codex.
Of course, this Sacred Flame Dao Codex wasn't exactly bad either; it was a Cultivation Technique that led to the Eternal True God Realm. To Breakthrough to the Eternal Saint Realm, one basically needed to obtain methods from those great powers.
He wondered where this "Great Thousand Soul Book" was stronger than the Sacred Flame Dao Codex.
Just as Han Xuanji was lost in thought, the Soul Ancestor finally stopped her non-stop explanation. Seeing his solemn expression, she said softly:
"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, regarding information about the Eternal Continent, I have told you everything I know without reservation. I expect you also need time to digest it. I will return first to repair the thousand spirits vessel. Once it is repaired, I will notify you immediately."
Han Xuanji returned to his senses and nodded slightly, his tone peaceful:
"Very well, I shall trouble you, Fellow Daoist Soul Ancestor."
The Soul Ancestor smiled slightly and took the initiative to state her name:
"By the way, you have always called me Soul Ancestor. My original name is Hun Qianling. There is no need for formalities in the future; you can just call me Qianling."
"Since that is the case, Daoist Friend Qianling, there is no need to be a stranger. My name is Han Xuanji; you can call me by my name."
Han Xuanji responded frankly, putting on no airs.
"Alright, Brother Xuanji."
Hun Qianling nodded with a smile.
"Then I shall take my leave first. During this time, if you have any questions or other matters, you can contact me through your Divine Thought."
"Thank you, Daoist Friend Qianling. If anything comes up, I will take the initiative to find you."
Hearing the other party's somewhat intimate form of address, Han Xuanji's expression remained unchanged as he responded calmly.
After Hun Qianling said her farewells, she turned and left. Silence returned to the Xuantian Hall once more, leaving only Han Xuanji and a Chaos Green Lotus.
Han Xuanji did not remain idle and claimed the simulation rewards. These two rewards might look meager, but in reality, they were perhaps among the best rewards he had ever obtained, no less valuable than the water of eternity.
In an instant, the entire contents of the "Great Thousand Soul Book" flooded into Han Xuanji's mind. A war vessel almost identical to the thousand spirits vessel also quietly appeared in the System space; it was exactly the version of the thousand spirits vessel that had been successfully repaired.
Han Xuanji glanced at the thousand spirits vessel, but instead of studying the battleship, he immersed his mind in the contents of the "Great Thousand Soul Book".
Soon, he finished studying the contents of the "Great Thousand Soul Book" and found that the Cultivation methods recorded within were largely the same as the Sacred Flame Dao Codex. Both revolved around the condensation of the Eternal Origin and the comprehension of the Eternal Dao Principle, with not much that was particularly novel.
However, some explanations were clearly more complete, and there were many insights and experiences left by Hun Family Powerful Experts recorded within, which could allow successors to take fewer detours. In reality, this was also a very crucial point.
After all, in Cultivation, if one took a single wrong step, they would waste countless years or even fall into a point of no return...
"However, there is no method for breaking through to the Saint Realm..."
A flash of disappointment crossed Han Xuanji's eyes.
Presumably, the Soul Ancestor—that is, Hun Qianling's—status in the Hun Family was just as she had said, not particularly high.
Even as the daughter of the Hun Family Clan Chief, she had not obtained the method to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.
Of course, if Hun Qianling were at the Eternal True God Perfection, obtaining the method to Breakthrough to Saint would likely not be difficult, and the Hun Family would probably put all their effort into nurturing her.
Han Xuanji was only disappointed for a moment and was not in a hurry at all.
Once he reached the Eternal Continent and the System upgraded, he likely wouldn't lack Cultivation Techniques or resources.
When the time came, he would honestly stay low within the Hun Family and Cultivate until he reached the Eternal Saint Realm!
If the interior of the Hun Family was not peaceful, he would also have to find a way to find a quieter place to stay. It was impossible for him to get himself entangled in mundane affairs just because of this bit of friendship with Hun Qianling.
Han Xuanji continued reading the "Great Thousand Soul Book" and soon had an unexpected harvest.
It turned out that several unique Eternal Divine Abilities of the Hun Family were also recorded in the "Great Thousand Soul Book", all of which were Divine Abilities of the Divine Soul path.
There was even one that happened to be useful to him.
