On the other side.
Han Xuanji transformed into a streak of light and sped off in the direction indicated by the jade disc image.
Surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, the deeper he went, the purer the surrounding Spiritual Qi became. Finally, he stopped in front of a mountain hollow shrouded in a faint halo of Chaos light.
At the entrance, a jade stele stands majestically, with the three ancient characters " Myriad Phenomena Garden " on it written in bold, powerful strokes, seemingly containing the magnificent will of the beginning of time, which stirs the soul of anyone who looks at it.
Han Xuanji took out the token, and as soon as he approached, the stone tablet emitted a blue light, and the invisible restriction in front of him opened.
Stepping inside, a breathtaking view unfolds before you.
This is no ordinary cave abode.
It is clearly a miniature world that was forcibly seized and moved here by a person with great Divine Ability.
The interior space is many times larger than what can be seen from the outside. The terrain is undulating, surrounded by hills, with clear streams flowing by, and deep valleys filled with mist.
Ancient trees, gnarled and twisted like dragons, stand tall and majestic, the vegetation is incredibly lush, and Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs grow freely, emitting all kinds of spiritual light, making the whole world look like a dream.
An indescribable aura permeated the air. The celestial energy here was not of a single attribute, but rather a mixture of countless distinct and even conflicting energies of heaven and earth, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness. These energies intertwined and flowed in a strange state, as if in the beginning of Chaos!
Han Xuanji looked up and saw that the sky seemed to be covered by a thin veil of ever-changing colors, sometimes like flames scorching the sky, sometimes like frost covering the ground, and in an instant, it turned into a river of stars, as if it were a microcosmic projection of the primordial energy of the entire world.
"What a magnificent Myriad Phenomena Garden! In the beginning of Chaos, Myriad Phenomena. The complexity and abundance of Spiritual Qi energy here perfectly matches my Chaos True Spirit Physique and the Primordial Immortal Instruction!"
Han Xuanji felt an overwhelming joy welling up inside him. He took a deep breath, and the boundless Spiritual Qi surged into his limbs and bones, making every cell in his body cheer with delight.
"With such a precious place, what is there to worry about in not achieving the Great Dao? One day of cultivation here is probably better than a hundred days of arduous practice in the mortal realm!"
Just as he was feeling excited and carefully appreciating this rare environment, several Daoyin yet powerful energy fluctuations came from deep within the garden, rapidly approaching from afar.
Three figures broke through the swirling spiritual mist and swiftly arrived before Han Xuanji. Their movements were perfectly synchronized; they bowed respectfully, their voices filled with reverence.
"Welcome, esteemed guest, to Vientiane Myriad Phenomena Garden!"
The leader was an elderly man in a gray robe, with a gaunt face but shrewd eyes.
Behind him stood two burly men clad in heavy black-gold armor, their muscles bulging like mountains, standing solemnly like pine trees, their auras deep and composed.
Although the three had human forms and were no different from ordinary people, Han Xuanji could tell upon closer inspection that they were not Human Race, but rather puppet spirits.
No need for formalities.
Han Xuanji composed himself and calmly swept his gaze over the three.
Who sent you here?
"Reporting to my master."
The gray-robed old man Wang Fu, responded respectfully, his voice completely calm.
"Old servant Wang Fu, along with strongmen Zhao Long and Zhao Hu, are all special puppets meticulously crafted by the sect's master craftsmen. They are responsible for taking care of the thousands of Spirit Plant in the garden, maintaining the operation of the restrictions in various parts of the cave abode, and handling all kinds of daily chores."
Our core restrictions are already connected to the cave abode's central hub. With the token in hand, the master can control everything about us.
"If my master gives the order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
As expected of a giant in the upper realm, Spirit Void Heavenly Palace has an astonishingly generous approach. Even the servants accompanying the cave abode dwelling are such high-level puppets, saving the master countless hours of managing trivial matters and ensuring absolute loyalty and secrecy.
"Farming isn't very useful to me, but I might as well take advantage of it, and it can also help improve the environment."
Several thoughts flashed through Han Xuanji's mind in an instant, and then he gave the order:
"Very well, you shall all remain at your posts and not approach or disturb me Non-Self summoned by me."
"I will obey my master's command!"
Wang Fu and the other two bowed again, their posture extremely humble, and then slowly retreated, blending into the lush Spirit Plant landscape. Their presence quickly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
Han Xuanji didn't linger any longer and strolled towards the ancient pavilion in the core area of the garden.
As he approached, the intricate sequence of runes embedded in the attic door lit up one by one, flowing with spiritual light, and the heavy door slid open silently inward.
A surge of celestial energy, richer and purer than that of the outside world, rushed towards us.
The attic has a spacious interior with a grand yet simple layout.
The facility is fully equipped with meditation rooms, Alchemy Chamber, artifact rooms, and studies, all crafted from Spiritual Qi imbued jade or ancient wood, exuding an extraordinary charm amidst its rustic simplicity.
Every detail exudes craftsmanship, showcasing understated luxury.
With a clear goal in mind, Han Xuanji walked straight into the most crucial meditation room.
He has always adhered to the principle of prioritizing moral character.
Spiritual practice is the most important thing.
As for Dao of Alchemy, that's all up to fate.
Han Xuanji Pill Lineage not because she valued alchemy skills, but because of the benefits the profession offered.
The heavy stone door closed silently behind him, its runes flashing, instantly isolating the inside from the outside, plunging everything into complete silence.
Inside the quiet room, an extremely complex and profound top-level Spirit Gathering Formation was in operation.
Han Xuanji took out the Dao Comprehension Meditation Cushion, and his Chaos True Spirit Physique was already operating at full speed, like a bottomless black hole, frantically devouring the pure energy that poured in.
boom--!
A torrent of powerful Spiritual Qi energy washed over his meridians, tempering his flesh and bone marrow, and finally flowed into his Dantian, where it was rapidly refined into incomparably pure magical Law Power by the Primordial Immortal Instruction. This efficiency far surpassed that of the lower realm by more than a hundred times!
"So this is the foundation of a top-tier sect in the upper realm... Ordinary disciples probably can't even imagine it."
Han Xuanji was immersed in the thrill of rapid advancement and once again deeply realized the importance of platforms and resources.
The uniqueness of the Myriad Phenomena Spirit Vein resonated profoundly with his physique Cultivation Method, making the cultivation process incredibly smooth and even clarifying his understanding of the Principle of the Great Dao.
After circulating the energy for several cycles, the condition gradually improves.
" Star Palace Token..."
Han Xuanji suddenly remembered this thing that had been stored in the System Space for a long time.
"It's a legacy from the upper realm, after all; it must be extraordinary."
With a thought, the token appeared in his palm.
Having tried multiple times in the lower realm without success, he now attempted to refine it with his own blood once more.
This time, when the blood touched the token, it was instantly absorbed, and the star-like veins that formed on the token suddenly lit up with a faint light.
A peculiar sense of connection is established in the mind, and a piece of information naturally emerges from the depths of consciousness.
"So that's how it is... One must hold this token and enter a deep meditative state to be able to sense things with one's divine sense and be guided to that so-called ' Star Palace '?"
Han Xuanji suddenly realized, but then her brows furrowed slightly.
"This Star Palace seems to be a loose organization, even allowing members to have multiple identities, but only recognizing ' Star Fate '? That's interesting."
"However... I am now True Disciple of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, and my identity is sensitive."
The Star Palace may not mind, but that doesn't mean the higher-ups at the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace can tolerate their core disciples joining another organization, even if it's just a loosely organized group in name only.
If discovered, it could lead to trouble.
A sense of caution arose in his heart. There were many powerful figures in the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, and Han Xuanji would not be foolish enough to use the token so easily.
"This matter requires careful consideration. At the very least, we need to ascertain the sect's attitude towards such situations first."
Right now, improving one's own cultivation is the most important thing.
Han Xuanji suppressed the urge to try it immediately, carefully put away the token, and focused his mind again, immersing himself even more deeply in cultivation.
Just as Han Xuanji was diligently cultivating in the Myriad Phenomena Garden.
The news that he had joined the Pill Lineage and become True Disciple of Purple Firmament Peak had stirred up ripples throughout the Pill Lineage of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
Countless beams of spiritual light traveled between the peaks and halls, conveying this message.
"Another True Disciple has emerged from Purple Firmament Peak, and has even attracted the attention of the chief?"
"Could it be that the Headmaster is going to take on another disciple? If so, we'd better prepare a generous gift in advance."
"Not necessarily. The head disciple wouldn't simply accept anyone; talent and temperament are both indispensable."
The Peak Master and elders of the Pill Lineage were all quite interested in this matter.
The position of the chief disciple is of extraordinary significance, representing the allocation of resources and future power, enough to make many people's minds waver.
Moreover, the thirty-sixth disciple has a special significance; he may be the last disciple personally taught by the head disciple.
News of Han Xuanji circulated only among the upper echelons of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, and few people knew the specifics.
"Another True Disciple? Who is he? We must find out."
Inside a grand hall on Purple Firmament Peak, a young man dressed in a long robe of gold and jade spoke calmly.
"Damn, another competitor. I wonder how skilled they are in Dao of Alchemy."
On the mountaintop shrouded in azure light, a Daoist priest in a purple robe exclaimed in surprise.
Deep within Purple Firmament Peak, inside the " Grand Mysterious Grotto-Heaven ".
Clouds and mist drifted by, and cranes cried out.
A young Daoist priest, dressed in Jade True robe, with an exceptionally handsome face and a cold, icy demeanor, was playing chess alone in front of a Fang Han chessboard.
A communication jade talisman containing information about Han Xuanji floated in front of him, its light slowly fading.
His hand holding the child paused slightly before falling, making a crisp sound.
Without even raising his eyes, only a single, utterly indifferent sentence echoed softly within the vast cave:
"So what if the emperor pays attention? Before me, those who stand in my way will all turn to ashes."
