[The Host can obtain one Eternal Point daily. Both the Sign In and Simulation functions require a certain amount of eternal points. The more Advanced the Sign In Location, the more it costs, and simulating characters also requires varying amounts of eternal points.]
"eternal points?"
Han Xuanji pondered; it seemed this was the only restriction.
It appeared that upon reaching the Eternal Continent, the System was still reliable and hadn't lost its utility; instead, it was even more powerful than he had imagined.
"System, what exactly is your origin?"
Even at Han Xuanji's current level, he was still somewhat shocked by the System's capabilities and completely unable to see through how it issued these rewards. This could only mean one thing: the System's status was likely above the Eternal Saint Realm...
However, the System still ignored Han Xuanji.
"I'll probably be able to figure it out once I reach the Eternal Saint King Realm."
Han Xuanji cast aside these stray thoughts and hurriedly checked if he had any so-called eternal points.
A line of numbers quickly appeared on the panel.
[eternal points: 1]
Well, only 1 point.
Han Xuanji curled his lip and asked the System if this Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven counted as a Sign In Location.
[Detected Ten-star Sign-in Location: Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven. Each Sign In requires 10 points. It is estimated that you can Sign In thirty times.]
"Sign In once every ten days? And I can Sign In thirty times?"
Han Xuanji nodded slightly; this was quite good.
Just as Han Xuanji was pondering the System's functions, a Communication Jade Talisman given to him by the Hun Family stirred. With a flick of his Divine Thought, a faint blue projection of a message floated before his eyes. It was sent by an Elder of the Hun Family, one he had met a few times and knew to be an old-timer from Hun Qianxue's faction.
The message was concise and clear, informing him that Qianhun City was about to hold a Law Conference. It specifically notified him to prepare and participate on time, and informed Han Xuanji that he must attend.
"Qianhun City Law Conference?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes before he fell into deep thought.
Although he was new to the Eternal Continent, he had some understanding of its common knowledge, and this Law Conference was one of them.
It was originally a grand event held by the Eternal Saint Domain, specifically designed to select Geniuses who Cultivate the Way of Laws. Even after the Eternal Saint Domain split, it remained popular across many great domains and was very famous, attracting much attention every time.
The Law Conference was clearly tiered, divided into four levels from high to low: Divine Rank, Domain-level, Province-level, and City-level. To take first place in a City-level competition was already an extremely brilliant achievement, sufficient to qualify for the Province-level competition;
As a major city on the Eternal Continent, Qianhun City had a profound foundation. This Law Conference had even relaxed its standards: as long as one could enter the top ten, they could obtain a ticket to the Province-level competition.
Han Xuanji continued to check the reward list attached to the message and was secretly startled:
"The rewards for this Law Conference are quite generous; many are treasures for cultivating the Way of Laws."
On the list, Divine Weapons, Magic Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and Secret Techniques were all present. This was just a City-level competition; one could imagine that higher-level conventions would have even richer rewards.
In this world of the Eternal Continent, where the weak are prey to the strong and Geniuses emerge in large numbers, participating in such a grand event seemed inevitable.
Blindly avoiding conflict might seem low-key, but in reality, it would only lead to falling behind step by step. While others were gaining resources and increasing their strength at the convention, he would be left far behind, and by then, catching up would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
He tapped his fingertips lightly, pulling up the message Hun Qianling had sent him previously. Combining it with the Elder's current notification, he could quickly understand why the Hun Family insisted he participate.
At the Family council, many people had frequently raised objections, accusing him of being unworthy of his reputation and demanding he show his true ability to prove himself, thereby silencing the public outcry.
And this Law Conference was the best stage.
"Does this mean they want me to prepare to showcase my Aptitude at this Law Conference?"
Han Xuanji frowned slightly.
This Qianhun City Law Conference was essentially a test given to him by the Hun Family, a stage to prove himself to everyone.
Thinking of this, his expression gradually became solemn as he calculated privately:
"This Law Conference must be a test from the Hun Family. If I perform poorly, I might lose my position as an S-rank Talent, and Hun Qianxue's prestige would also take a hit..."
Han Xuanji completely understood the situation. This Law Conference was no longer just a simple competition between Geniuses, but also a contest between Hun Qianxue and Third Young Master Hun Qianchen, leaving no room for error.
But when he saw the start time of the convention, Han Xuanji's brow furrowed slightly as he muttered to himself:
"The estimated start time is in a thousand years? They're notifying me this early?"
Then he wasn't worried at all. He had been a bit panicked at first, since he didn't know the level of the other Prodigies in Qianhun City—perhaps the city was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers?
But since he was given a thousand years, there was no need to think too much.
...
On the other side.
After the Hun Family meeting ended, Ling Feng quickly caught up with Hun Cangfeng, his face full of unconcealable joy and his tone urgent:
"Elder Feng, although the Family Head didn't revoke Han Xuanji's title, he did make a concession."
He rubbed his hands together, his eyes flashing with certain light:
"He is a piece of trash who doesn't even dare to face me directly; he will surely make a fool of himself at the Law Conference. When that time comes, no one in the Hun Family will tolerate an incompetent person occupying an S-Rank high position. His title will be revoked sooner or later!"
Ling Feng became more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen Han Xuanji's miserable state at the Law Conference, being ridiculed by everyone. Most of the unwillingness and jealousy in his heart dissipated along with it.
In his view, Han Xuanji was completely unworthy of his name, and he was the one on the side of justice.
Hun Cangfeng stopped in his tracks, turned around, and with a gentle smile on his face, slowly agreed:
"Little Friend Ling is absolutely right. The Law Conference is a place to test true talent and learning. He certainly won't be able to hide his true colors, and the Family Head will see clearly. By then, everything will be settled."
His tone was peaceful, seemingly encouraging Ling Feng with sincerity, but a trace of coldness flickered in his eyes as he thought to himself.
The people he had sent previously to win over Han Xuanji had been ignored. No matter how many Cultivation resources were sent or how many benefits were promised, he remained unmoved—truly a man who responded to neither carrots nor sticks.
"He does have some backbone."
Hun Cangfeng sneered in his heart.
"To be so stubborn and ungrateful... since he won't take the easy way, then we can only do it the hard way. Since he refuses to submit and is occupying the position of an S-rank Talent, blocking our path, he can't blame me for using Ling Feng's hand to thoroughly trample him down."
He looked at the triumphant and defenseless Ling Feng before him, the corners of his mouth curving as he said warmly:
"If you can expose Han Xuanji's true face, then the Hun Family's resources will surely tilt toward you."
Hearing this, Ling Feng was even more overjoyed and hurriedly bowed:
"Thank you for your support, Elder Feng!"
