Han Xuanji soon forwarded the news to Li Tiantong, adding a sentence:
"The Dao Ancestor is still alive, rest assured."
Li Tiantong's reply came very quickly, almost the instant the message was sent.
"Really?"
Two words, simple yet full of excitement.
Han Xuanji could imagine the expression on Li Tiantong's face when he saw this message.
After all, the two were not only teacher and friend in the Chaos but had also drifted together in the Eternal Continent for many years, sharing an incredibly deep bond.
Hearing the news that the Dao Ancestor was still alive now was likely even more exciting than his own Breakthrough.
"Absolutely true."
Han Xuanji replied:
"Although I don't know where he is for the time being, I can at least confirm that he is still alive."
There was silence on the other end of the jade talisman for a long time.
Only then did Li Tiantong send a message.
"Many thanks."
After all, Li Tiantong also knew that saying more would be meaningless.
Han Xuanji looked at this message and did not continue to say more.
He could not intervene in the Dao Ancestor's affairs right now; he could only investigate after his strength improved in the future.
Hui Feng having been able to find out this much information was already him doing his best; he could not ask for more.
Putting away the jade talisman, Han Xuanji sat cross-legged again. He began to plan his own intentions. He would set aside the matter of the Dao Ancestor for now.
The crisis of the Hun Family had been resolved, and the only remaining problem was the Vicious Beast tide event.
There was about three thousand years left until the Vicious Beast tide.
According to the intelligence from the simulation, there were several Saint-level Vicious Beasts on the surface, as well as countless powerful Vicious Beasts of the Eternal True God level.
And in the simulation, the Lord of Jiuxuan Prefecture, the Holy Lord Jiuxuan, did not make a move, which proved that this Vicious Beast tide was definitely not simple.
And if he wanted to handle this matter, it was not difficult to say it was difficult, and not simple to say it was simple.
It was easy to achieve self-preservation.
The difficulty was how to achieve the best outcome.
"It's still a matter of strength..."
Han Xuanji sighed slightly, his eyes flickering.
To solve this matter perfectly, he needed at least the strength of the Holy Lord Jiuxuan.
If others knew he wanted to go from an Eternal Dao Lord to an Eternal Saint within a few thousand years—even if it was just a one-word difference.
He would be a laughingstock if he said it out loud.
Even if Hun Qianxue knew, he would likely advise him to give up this unrealistic idea.
But Han Xuanji felt it was not impossible.
In the cultivation of the Way of Laws, the Eternal Dao Lord stage was precisely the most critical stage before reaching the Eternal Saint Realm.
And now his Law of Creation was complete, and his cultivation had broken through to the ninth level.
He only needed to condense the tenth Law, and he could achieve Perfection and step into the Eternal True Lord Realm.
And the condensation of this tenth Law was crucial; it was also the most difficult part.
After succeeding, breaking through to the Eternal True Lord would be a matter of course.
The ten Laws complemented each other.
He planned to condense the Law of Destruction last.
"It's just that my Law of Destruction is still lacking a bit."
Han Xuanji closed his eyes and sank his consciousness deep into the Creation Platform.
Last time he summoned the Destruction Giant God and meditated on it, but that was not enough. He raised his right hand, palm upward, and the pale golden power of Creation surged out from his palm like silk threads, merging into the stone slab of the high platform.
Those ancient runes lit up one by one, spreading from the center to the surroundings, layer by layer like ripples.
The Destruction Giant God appeared once again.
Han Xuanji looked up at the phantom, sinking his consciousness into it.
He had already received several rewards regarding insights into the Law of Destruction, but it would still take time to condense his own tenth Law.
With his current Comprehension Ability, even without the help of the System, he was not afraid of failing to complete it.
The place became quiet; the Destruction Giant God stood high above, overlooking the world.
Han Xuanji was immersed in it, his body surrounded by faint black light, flowing on his skin like mist, sometimes condensing, sometimes dispersing.
That was the trace left by the dao-rhythm of Destruction on him, the spiritual light of the Dao that was extremely difficult to capture in heaven and earth.
Normally, only an Eternal Deity or a Cultivator of the Way of Laws with extremely high cultivation could trigger this kind of spiritual light, but now, it was automatically attracted by Han Xuanji's Physique and emerged on its own.
...
Outside the Creation Platform, in Qianhun City.
News about Han Xuanji no longer spread; every generation has its own heroes.
Being famous for a while does not mean being famous for a lifetime.
With the intentional efforts of the Hun Family, many new faces appeared.
Among them was Han Xuanji's fellow countryman, Li Tiantong.
Of course, Han Xuanji's deeds had already been deeply engraved in many people's minds; no one intended to ignore this "Number One Prodigy of Qianhun City."
On this day.
A seemingly ordinary flying boat arrived in Qianhun City.
Inside the flying boat.
Several figures stood in the cabin, overlooking the city.
"Is this Qianhun City? It seems not bad."
A woman dressed in purple immortal robes with a graceful figure said.
"Qianhun City is a large city after all. Although it is a border city, it has a large flow of people."
A burly figure stood beside the woman, like a Buddha suppressing the world.
"However, it is said that the Saint who originally guarded this place has fallen, which is a pity."
The woman in purple nodded in agreement.
It was not easy for such a border city to produce a Saint. Without the resources of supreme powers, it was unknown how much effort was needed to step into this Realm in border areas.
"For this exploration of the Desolate Domain, we will explore the outer areas first and not go too deep."
The burly figure said:
"If this exploration mission can be completed, it will add quite a few performance points."
"Understood."
The woman in purple did not take it to heart, feeling that with their strength, completing this task would be easy.
Then the burly figure threw out a bombshell:
"And I heard from my Master that this Law Conference in Qianhun City is not ordinary. A big shot promoted this matter... It is said that even people from Jiuxuan Prefecture and nearby prefectures might participate.
I heard that several peerless Prodigies intend to compete."
Once these words were spoken, the woman in purple was astonished:
"If that is really the case, then that is incredible..."
The Law Conference of each city always received high attention. There were young Prodigies from major forces who had cultivated for many years and emerged to shock everyone, and there were also hidden dragons emerging, wanting to seek a future.
Generally speaking, for a city of Qianhun City's level, hosting a Law Conference at the Eternal Dao Lord stage would not attract too much attention.
But listening to this, it seemed a bit complicated.
"What do you mean?"
The woman in purple was still wondering which big shot it was.
The burly figure gave the answer:
"Naturally, it is the Holy Lord Jiuxuan."
Hearing this, the woman in purple exclaimed subconsciously, drawing the attention of those around her.
...
Time passed, and another few years went by.
The Creation Platform remained silent, only the phantom of the Destruction Giant God stood eternally, overlooking the young man sitting cross-legged.
Han Xuanji opened his eyes, looked at the gray-black light in his palm, and sighed softly.
The Law of Destruction was different from Creation. The effort required to integrate the Law of Destruction into the existing Law System was much greater than condensing the Law of Creation. A slight carelessness would break the balance.
He had absorbed all the insights into the Law of Destruction obtained from the Sign In, and his understanding of the Way of Destruction was much deeper than before, but there was still a long way to go before condensing a complete Law.
It was not that his Comprehension Ability was insufficient, but that this path itself was difficult.
The Way of Destruction was one of the most top-tier Laws. Cultivators who could condense it alone were already rare, let alone integrating it with the other nine Laws.
He temporarily suppressed this thought and took out the communication jade talisman from his bosom.
During these years of seclusion, many messages had accumulated, and he had not intended to look at them.
But just now, the communication jade talisman reacted violently; an urgent message had arrived.
