Having finally broken through to a higher level in Sword Dao, Han Xuanji was in high spirits.
The members of the Divine Profound Sect also proceeded cautiously to the outside of the hall.
Han Xuanji stepped out of the Dao Purity Hall.
At this moment, his aura was calm and restrained, and the terrifying Sword Intent that was capable of shaking heaven and earth had long since disappeared, as if he was not the one who had just caused the strange phenomenon.
Elder Han.
True Person Tianyu was the first to step forward, asking cautiously, his eyes still lingering with shock.
"Just now... did you break through?"
Han Xuanji's current state doesn't resemble that of someone who has just broken through.
"Well, I've only gained a little."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, her tone calm.
"Is... is that so..."
True Person Tianyu's lips twitched, and he managed to force a knowing smile.
This "small success" almost scared them to death.
Just as True Person Tianyu's mind was in turmoil, two figures in the crowd behind him could no longer contain themselves.
Lu Fan was frantically winking and making faces at Han Xuanji, his handsome face almost contorted into a pretzel, silently mouthing:
"Brother Han... Awesome, absolutely awesome!"
This name was his last act of defiance.
Lin Potian, on the other hand, was much more direct.
This burly, forthright body cultivator, completely disregarded the awe-inspiring gazes of the surrounding elders and rushed to Han Xuanji in a single stride.
He stretched out his large, fan-like hand, but stopped abruptly halfway through, turning it into an awkward "grabbing at air" motion.
He really wanted to express his "dissatisfaction" at being deceived.
Finally, Lin Potian feigned tears, his expression a mixture of grievance and resentment, his eyes carrying a hint of melancholy.
"Senior Brother Han..."
You hid this from me so well!
Han Xuanji looked at the two clowns in front of him. One looked aggrieved like a two-hundred-pound child, while the other was stirring up trouble and enjoying the show. A hint of a smile flashed deep in his eyes.
He deliberately put on a stern face and asked Lin Potian in a serious tone, "When did I lie to you?"
"Tell me, what did I lie to you about?"
Lin Potian was taken aback, scratched the back of his head, and tried hard to recall:
"Uh... it seems... it wasn't explicitly stated..."
Because Han Xuanji disguised himself so well, although they had suspicions, they only had suspicions, and Han Xuanji never said that he was weak.
When Han Xuanji was invited out, her answer was simply that she didn't want to go, not that she lacked the strength or dared not go.
Scratching his head, Lin Potian said:
"Senior Brother Han, you told me before that you were just an outer disciple. Look at yourself, are you even an outer disciple?"
"I was indeed an outer disciple before."
Han Xuanji spoke in a flat tone.
"Uh... really?"
Seeing that Han Xuanji didn't seem to be lying, Lin Potian's momentum weakened further.
Would I lie to you?
Han Xuanji shrugged, looking completely innocent.
"I had been in seclusion all along, so I hadn't revealed my cultivation level. How could you say I 'hid' it from you? As for my cultivation level..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the elders and disciples eavesdropping around him, before finally settling on Lin Potian, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
"Junior Brother Lin, you didn't ask either."
"Ha ha."
Lu Fan was the first to burst out laughing, then quickly covered his mouth.
"That... seems to be true."
Lin Potian opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.
Yeah, it seems he really didn't ask!
After all, Han Xuanji's cultivation level was always clearly displayed; it was obvious at a glance that he was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Do I need to ask?
Seeing Lin Potian's frustrated and speechless expression, even serious elders like True Person Tianyu and High Person Qinghe couldn't help but smile, and the tense atmosphere immediately eased a lot.
"Alright."
Han Xuanji stopped teasing him, and said seriously, turning her gaze to the Dao Purity Hall.
"This hall is where the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal preaches, containing supreme sword principles and revealing multiple layers of inheritance."
Sword marks on the mountain walls outside the hall can all be used to perceive the Sword Intent.
The traditions are passed down in different places, each depending on its fortuitous opportunity.
Remember to act within your capabilities, do not force things, and never resort to violence to compete for something.
This place is heavily fortified; even a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm could perish if they are not careful.
Upon hearing this...
Everyone was initially delighted, and then they all nodded in agreement.
Han Xuanji's last sentence was not made up, because there are indeed many hidden restrictions in the Azure Lotus Sword World, such as the Dao Purity Hall. If a fight breaks out in there, you will definitely suffer the consequences.
Lin Potian instantly forgot his earlier grievances, rubbed his fists together, and said in a deep, booming voice:
"Senior Brother Han, don't worry, anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll be the first to throw them out!"
As he spoke, he defiantly shook his bronze fist.
Immediately, everyone went their separate ways. Some wandered around, trying to obtain the inheritance, while others studied the Sword Intent, steadily improving without taking any risks.
Han Xuanji naturally wouldn't act like a nanny, protecting them at all times.
He also has his own things to do.
As an immortal from the upper realm, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal created this small world, and naturally, he left behind many legacies and treasures.
But what Han Xuanji wanted to find was the core area.
Soon, Han Xuanji found the place with the most concentrated Spiritual Qi in the entire Azure Lotus Sword World.
Such places are often places with profound Daoist influences.
Behind the Azure Lotus Dao Peak lies a lake about ten miles long. The lake water is crystal clear, and a light blue mist hangs over its surface. Taking a breath of it makes one feel refreshed.
Many Azure Lotus are planted in the lake, and in the deeper part of the lake, in the center, sits an elegant bamboo and wood pavilion.
Han Xuanji walked to the shore and looked at the lake in front of him.
"If anyone dares to step in without permission, they will likely die."
He had already surveyed the entire area with his Void-Penetrating Divine Eye and discovered that a powerful force was hidden deep within the lake, making it impossible for ordinary Divine Sense to detect.
If one were to enter without knowing the truth, it would most likely trigger their power, and even Bandit Cultivator would perish in the northwest.
"It seems the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal also doesn't want anyone to disturb his secluded cultivation."
Han Xuanji shook his head slightly.
However, this is only natural.
Moreover, the other party most likely left something very important inside.
Han Xuanji feel a force preventing him from continuing to spy.
Even the third level of the Void-Penetrating Divine Eye could not penetrate it.
"If we force our way through, I might not be able to escape either... and I might not even get the real treasure inside, and I might even offend this Azure Lotus Sword Immortal."
Han Xuanji couldn't help but frown.
This destined person is probably not him.
This kind of core inheritance is mostly prepared for the "chosen one".
Just like the Hall of Ten Thousand Stars in the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode, if you don't have Star Fate, you can't even enter. Trying to destroy the palace gate is just wishful thinking.
Who knows, the people who created these traditions might still be alive.
Han Xuanji didn't want to ascend to immortality and offend a senior figure.
Moreover, he had been kind to them.
certainly.
Han Xuanji stated that he did not need to be the one destined for him.
He was not greedy.
"System, what star level is this sign-in area?"
Han Xuanji asked curiously.
[This is the place to check in for five stars.]
"!!!"
the next day.
The daily check-in count has been refreshed.
Han Xuanji silently recited in his heart:
"System, check-in."
