Azure Dragon Immortal Abode, Hall of Ten Thousand Stars.
Amidst an endless sea of stars, Han Xuanji discovered some of the wonders of this place.
This area appears to be modeled after the Big Northern Dipper Star Domain, with some stellar remnants on certain stars.
Cultivators, on the other hand, need to perceive the many star charts within the ruins and comprehend the profound methods contained therein.
Han Xuanji did not try to comprehend the star map, but instead went to cultivate on a star with the densest star power.
He was bathed in a rich stellar energy.
Strands of starlight spontaneously seeped into his body, nourishing every inch of his flesh and soul.
"This place is nice. System, check in!"
Han Xuanji silently recited in his heart.
The system notification tone sounded calmly.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the Hall of Ten Thousand Stars and obtained the Immortal Artifact " Star Law Crown ".]
[ Star Law Crown: High-Grade Immortal Artifact, the Law Treasure of the Star Palace Envoy, True Person Xuanmiao. It can assist in absorbing stellar power and accelerate the refining of stellar power. In battle, it can be used to activate the stellar restrictions within to strengthen oneself.]
High-Grade Immortal Artifact!
Even though this wasn't the first time Han Xuanji had received it, she was still excited.
Low-Grade Immortal Artifact are considered treasures by many long-established sects in the lower realms, and are not to be used lightly except in cases of life and death.
As for High-Grade Immortal Artifact... it's probably hard to find even one in the entire Great Void Spirit Realm. Only those with extraordinary backgrounds possess them, and normally these people wouldn't leave such treasures behind; they would take them with them when they ascend to the upper realm.
This Hall of Ten Thousand Stars is most likely the legacy established by the Star Palace Envoy, True Person Xuanmiao, who descended to the mortal realm.
According to the description of the spirit of the immortal abode, the Star Palace is an extremely ancient force even in the upper realm, and the Star Envoy is probably not a simple person either. Anyone who can possess High-Grade Immortal Artifact must have a high level of cultivation. Even if he is not Golden Immortal, he must be a giant at the Profound Mystic Immortal level.
That's a realm he can only look up to at for now.
However, this did not prevent him from obtaining the other party's Law Treasure.
With a slight thought, a crown with an ancient design, seemingly made of flowing starlight, appeared in front of him.
The moment the crown appeared, it exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.
Han Xuanji pointed her fingers together like a sword and placed them on her hat.
Buzz!
The Star Law Crown trembled slightly, and the starlight flowing on it suddenly became gentle and kind, as if it had been waiting for its true master.
A powerful surge of star energy spread out, causing all the star projections in the Hall of Ten Thousand Stars to resonate with it, resulting in a surge of starlight.
Han Xuanji placed the Star Law Crown on his head, and in that instant, he felt an unprecedented connection between himself and this vast sea of stars.
The already continuous flow of stellar power seemed to have found the best channel, and the speed of refining and absorbing it suddenly increased several times over.
As for combat enhancement...
With a slight thought, Han Xuanji activated a star-shaped restriction within the Star Law Crown.
An invisible force flowed into his body.
Han Xuanji did not use any earth-shattering supernatural Divine Ability; she simply pointed lightly.
Boom!
A beam of light pierced through the void and traversed the galaxy.
"Just activating the first layer of restrictions... provides a 30% increase in strength!"
Han Xuanji understood much more.
This is by no means a small amount. At the Tribulation Transcendence Realm level, every bit of power is extremely difficult to increase. In the critical moment of life-and-death battle, even a bit of power can affect the balance of power.
Moreover, this is based on his actual strength.
Moreover, if all seven layers of restrictions are activated, the amplification power will be even stronger. However, with his current cultivation level, he can only activate three layers at most, which would probably increase his strength several times over.
This is quite a large sum.
It should be noted that this is also a supreme treasure that aids in cultivation, and its value is immeasurable.
"This is good stuff."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly and continued his cultivation.
Han Xuanji was naturally unaware of everything happening outside.
The Xia Emperor's audience held no significance for him.
For cultivators above the Tribulation Transcendence, the change of dynasties is nothing but fleeting smoke. As for Han Xuanji, he still has some affection for the sect, after all, he has lived there for so many years.
To be honest, he didn't know much about Great Xia either.
Although his predecessor was born within the territory of the Great Xia, it was under the protection of the Divine Profound Sect, and even the officials of the Great Xia did not have much control over this area.
His intention in taking action this time was not to protect the Great Xia.
outside world.
When Emperor Xia learned that Han Xuanji was in seclusion, he felt regretful for not being able to see Han Xuanji in person, but he also discussed many matters of cooperation with the higher-ups of the Divine Profound Sect.
He even referred to the Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable as the " Great Xia Sword Immortal," to which Xuanweizi neither objected nor promoted.
Emperor Xia's actions were clear: he wanted to bind the Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable and the Divine Profound Sect to the Great Xia Dynasty.
Xuanweizi saw further ahead than the Xia Emperor. He knew that with Han Xuanji's talent, he might ascend to the Upper Realm soon. Therefore, they needed to consider future development, and establishing friendly relations with the Great Xia was a good choice.
Beyond the Nine Provinces Endless Sea.
It is tens of millions of miles away from the Nine Provinces Continent.
A giant island surrounded by archipelagos lies dormant within it, like the spine of a giant beast.
In the center of the island stands a magnificent palace.
The hall was resplendent in gold and jade, and was equipped with numerous Spirit Gathering Formation that continuously drew upon the Spirit Vein energy of the entire island.
A tall, powerful figure with muscles bulging like a dragon sat cross-legged.
It was none other than Lin Jingqiu, the leader of the Heaven-Severing Alliance.
At this moment, dark red energy swirled around him, and scarlet runes appeared on his skin. His aura steadily increased, indicating that he was cultivating an extremely domineering Cultivation Method and making progress.
"Lord Alliance Leader."
The silence inside the hall was broken, and an eerie ripple appeared in the air as a tall, slender figure stepped outside.
His voice carried a barely perceptible hint of panic.
Lin Jingqiu did not open his eyes, but let out a muffled groan, signaling for the other person to come in.
The tall, thin man entered the hall, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:
"The elders sent to the Nine Provinces Continent have all been confirmed dead, and utterly powerless to resist."
"That Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable's strength is completely inconsistent with the intelligence reports; he is not a newly ascended Tribulation Transcendence expert."
"The opponent possesses at least the strength of the Late Tribulation Transcendence, and within that Late Tribulation Transcendence, they are undoubtedly a powerful expert. We've all been deceived!"
"Um?"
Lin Jingqiu suddenly opened her eyes in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
His voice was filled with shock and anger.
"I only took a nap, and such a mistake has occurred?"
Wasn't it said that the Divine Profound Sect had a shallow foundation and was 99% certain of victory?
His massive frame leaned slightly forward, and a suffocating gaze locked onto the tall, thin man.
"This..."
Cold sweat instantly beaded on the tall, thin man's forehead as he felt an overwhelming pressure. Had he not possessed some cultivation, he would likely have already fainted.
He replied bitterly:
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, this subordinate... this subordinate also does not know."
The intelligence we gathered previously was obtained through several major intelligence agencies. Could it be that these intelligence agencies are colluding to mislead us?
His voice was filled with a sense of absurdity and fear.
In fact, their choice of the Divine Profound Sect as their target was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. They had naturally gathered a great deal of intelligence long ago. The Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable had only just entered the Tribulation Transcendence; how could he have grown to this level in such a short time?
When did spiritual practice become so simple?
"Damn it! You ruined my plan!!"
Lin Jingqiu suddenly stood up, causing the entire stone hall to tremble.
He received news that an ancient immortal lineage would appear in Eastern Cang Province, the Nine Provinces Continent.
That was the key fortuitous opportunity for him to go further and glimpse the realm of the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Just as the plan was about to be completed, it was thwarted by a person who should have been insignificant.
" Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable..."
Lin Jingqiu chewed over the name repeatedly, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
After a long silence, the fierce light in Lin Jingqiu's eyes intensified again, but this time it carried a ruthless calculation.
Someone who can Middle Tribulation Transcendence cultivator to their death must be considered a powerful figure, even if they are in the Late Tribulation Transcendence.
Even with his Tribulation Transcendence Eighth Layer cultivation, he might not be able to achieve this.
With Spiritual Qi rising and a great era about to begin, if one cannot take the first step, one will always be lagging behind. How can one then seize greater fortuitous opportunity?
Lin Jingqiu secretly made up his mind.
He was determined to make this person pay the price.
Although the other party's background is unknown, such a deep-seated enmity has already been formed, and resolving it will be no easy task.
He wanted to see for himself what this so-called Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable was all about.
"I wonder if the old guys from the Dao Heaven Alliance are willing to make a move, and that guy, East Sea True Person, will probably also be moved by the immortal opportunity... Fairy Miaoyin's master should take action to avenge his disciple."
Lin Jingqiu pondered.
He certainly didn't intend to seek revenge alone.
He'll see how this Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable tries to turn the world upside down then!
