"We've arrived."
Hun Qianling stopped in her tracks, her expression grave as she said:
"Within the Restriction lies the core Legacy. When it was opened last time, dozens of people came here, all of whom were confident in themselves.
But in the end, only three of them entered the stone hall and obtained the Legacy insights.
The others either became lost within the Restriction or were injured by the Life and Death dao-rhythm, forced to give up halfway."
She turned her head to look at Han Xuanji and said earnestly:
"Are you sure you want to go in now?"
Han Xuanji did not answer. Instead, he closed his eyes and sensed the dense Life and Death dao-rhythm ahead.
"This should be far enough."
He could clearly feel that the Restriction contained immense danger. It was not a killing formation set up by human hands, but a force field naturally formed by the Life and Death dao-rhythm. If a Cultivator stepped inside, they would be simultaneously eroded by the power of Life and Death. The power of life would accelerate the excessive consumption of Spiritual Qi, while the power of death would erode their Physical Body and Divine Soul.
If one were even slightly careless, they would be torn apart by these two forces.
The System's prompt sounded quickly.
[Ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" detected. Would you like to Sign In? (Each Sign In consumes 20 points, can be signed into 100 times)]
Another ten-star Sign In location.
This did not surprise Han Xuanji, though he had not expected to be able to Sign In so many times at this place.
"Perhaps it is because this place was originally a site of dao rhyme."
Han Xuanji pondered internally, knowing that there were many ways to judge a site of dao rhyme, so he did not overthink it:
"System, Sign In one hundred times."
The System's prompts exploded in Han Xuanji's mind like a waterfall, dense and crisp, one after another, incessantly.
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining "Law of Life and Death Insight"!]
...
The first thirty Sign Ins were all "Law of Life and Death Insight".
Han Xuanji felt a joy in his heart; in truth, this was exactly what he needed most right now.
He was not completely ignorant of the Way of Life and Death; he had contemplated related Laws during his time in Chaos. However, the Way of Life and Death on the Eternal Continent was even more profound. The accumulation he had could only be considered a meager foundation here, barely at an introductory level, and was far from the level required to independently refine the Law of Life and Death.
Yet these thirty insights were like keys, opening the tightly shut door before him one by one. Each insight was a complete set of experience, not some dry, lifeless theory.
Some insights came from a flash of inspiration at the brink of death, some from the slow, grinding effort over long years, and others from the sudden clarity of an Epiphany.
Judging by the insights into the Five Elements Dao Laws he had obtained previously, if he absorbed them all...
It would be enough for Han Xuanji's understanding of the Way of Life and Death to undergo a qualitative leap, saving him years of bitter cultivation.
Furthermore, he believed that the Law of Life and Death he would eventually refine would likely be even stronger than what he had comprehended in his simulations!
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining the "Life-Extinguishing Spear".]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining the "Life-Giving Seal".]
Both were ninth-grade eternal dao artifacts, of no low rank.
One death, one life; both were excellent treasures, likely belonging to the Eternal True God who had left behind the Legacy.
As an expert standing at the pinnacle of Eternal True Gods, it was not surprising that they possessed two ninth-grade eternal dao artifacts. Of course, for Han Xuanji, these rewards were just average.
They were at the level of "better to have than not".
The remaining rewards were also extraordinary, including Cultivation Techniques, Secret Techniques, Heaven And Earth Treasures, and other miscellaneous items...
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining the Cultivation Technique "Life and Death Canon".]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining the Secret Technique "Great Life-Extinguishing Finger".]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining the Secret Technique "Great Heaven-Reversing Art".]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining the "Dead Soul Pill".]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining the "Heaven-Reversing Grass".]
...
In the subsequent Sign Ins, the rewards also included Eternal Crystals, mixed with some special products.
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Life and Death Dao Domain" and obtaining the "Origin of Life and Death"!]
One hundred full Sign Ins, all completed at this point. The final reward surprised even Han Xuanji.
[Origin of Life and Death: The Origin item that maintains the Life and Death Ravine. Initially the Origin of an Eternal Saint after their death, it was later placed here by someone, transforming it into a blessed land.]
"Did it just bring me the core of the Secret Realm?"
Han Xuanji stood where he was, maintaining the posture of closing his eyes and sensing, with no strangeness on his face.
From an outsider's perspective, he had only stopped and concentrated for a moment, as if sensing the Life and Death dao-rhythm ahead.
No one knew that in these short few breaths, his mind had gained dozens of insights into the Law of Life and Death, and his storage space had been enriched with a large batch of priceless treasures.
"The harvest is quite bountiful. Indeed, one must get out and walk around more."
Han Xuanji took a deep breath, suppressing the waves in his heart, and slowly opened his eyes.
"How is it?"
Hun Qianling had waited on the side for a moment, and seeing he had no intention of continuing forward, she couldn't help but ask:
"Do you feel the pressure is too great? Would you like to adapt in the edge area first?"
Han Xuanji shook his head, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly:
"No need, I feel I have gained a great deal."
Hun Qianling looked at him suspiciously, always feeling something was wrong with this guy, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
What did he mean by "gained a great deal".
How long had he even been here?
And what she expected even less was Han Xuanji's next words:
"I feel it is enough. I am going back to seclude myself for cultivation; do as you please."
"Huh?"
Hun Qianling was stunned, not expecting Han Xuanji to be ready to go back already.
Was this person here for a sightseeing trip?
Just took a look and left?
Didn't want the Legacy or anything?
Truly unwilling to endure any hardship at all.
