"Senior Brother Han, something terrible has happened!"
Deep within the Myriad Phenomena Garden, Chaos Spiritual Qi surged like a tide, converging within the quiet room, almost solidifying into a tangible form.
Han Xuanji sat cross-legged on the futon, his body radiating Heavenly Immortal. His aura had reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Immortal realm, and his immortal power was as vast as the sea, surging and crashing against the invisible yet solid barrier of his realm.
Reaching the realm of True Immortal is not so easy.
On the one hand, one needs to perfect one's cultivation; on the other hand, one needs to find one's own "Dao" and, through the insights gained from numerous Great Dao Principle, condense one's own True Immortal Dao.
Han Xuanji's communication jade talisman suddenly flashed, breaking the silence of his cultivation.
"Senior Brother Han, something terrible has happened!"
Jiang Yuan's voice came through the communication jade talisman, carrying obvious anxiety and indignation.
Within the Immortal Domain Realm, traces of Devil Race spies' activities have been discovered in many places.
They appear to be systematically sabotaging Spirit Vein, then harassing key locations, and even targeting isolated elite disciples.
Han Xuanji frowned slightly:
"How can spies from the demonic path be so rampant?"
The borders of the Spirit Void Immortal Domain are heavily guarded, yet the Devil Race were able to infiltrate the Immortal Domain and stir up trouble, demonstrating the depth of their schemes.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yuan's tone was heavy, "It's said that there are powerful figures from the Devil Domain behind this. Those spies are cunning and ruthless, and... and they seem to know everything about our situation!"
"Is this the big deal you were talking about?"
Han Xuanji asked telepathically, but didn't feel anything particularly special.
The war between immortals and demons has raged for many years, and these kinds of things happen every now and then.
The Devil Race developed new infiltration techniques and caused chaos, but the Immortal Dao cultivators cracked them and began to eliminate the Devil Race.
Jiang Yuan answered without hesitation:
"Of course not. Do you know the prodigy of the Jiang Household in our Pill Lineage?"
Jiang Yuan didn't keep them in suspense any longer and said directly:
"It is said that Jiang Hao possessed the ' Immortal King Bone,' and while traveling for training, he was ambushed by elite Devil Race!"
"A powerful Devil Race personally removed the Immortal King Bone from Jiang Hao's body."
"Um?"
Han Xuanji was slightly surprised:
"Doesn't the Jiang Household have any protectors?"
Even the protectors... can't stop it.
Jiang Yuan then began to describe what had happened, as if he were there himself.
Although Jiang Hao fought back desperately, using all his trump cards and even severely injuring several powerful Devil Race, he was ultimately outnumbered and no match for the terrifying Devil Race.
In the end, the powerful Devil Race used Secret Method to forcibly cut open his chest and dig out the " Immortal King Bone " that shone with countless rays of light and was engraved with Heavenly Dao patterns.
If it weren't for the Jiang Household patriarch sensing the bloodline crisis in time and sending a dharma body from afar to frighten away the Devil Race, Jiang Hao would probably have been annihilated both body and soul.
Even so, the Immortal King Bone was taken away, and his Dao Foundation was severely damaged.
Jiang Hao was also on the verge of death, his Dao Path nearly severed.
When the news reached them, the Jiang Household was furious, and the entire Spirit Void Immortal Domain was in an uproar.
" The Immortal King Bone... was dug out?"
Han Xuanji was also stunned for a moment when he heard the news.
He could hardly imagine the pain and despair that must have been.
The fall from grace of a once-proud child to the dust is a blow far more cruel than death.
" The Devil Race are truly despicable."
Jiang Yuan was heartbroken during the interrogation.
"Although Senior Brother Jiang is arrogant... sigh..."
Although Jiang Hao is arrogant, he is not a bad person. He often uses his Heavenly Eye to help the disciples of the Pill Lineage complete demon-slaying missions, and he will not refuse anyone who asks for his guidance.
This matter had a tremendous impact. The Jiang Household mobilized all their powerful members, joining forces with several experts from the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace to relentlessly hunt down the Devil Race spies. For a time, the Immortal Domain was in a state of panic.
However, the group of eccentric Devil Race seemed to have vanished into thin air, and it was difficult to find any trace of them. It seemed that their only goal was to seize the Immortal King Bone.
With Jiang Hao's serious injury and subsequent silence, the once-famous "thirty-year agreement" he made with Su Ming was naturally no longer mentioned.
The outside world is indeed dangerous!
Han Xuanji silently complained.
Even with the Jiang Household as protectors, it's still so dangerous; this world is indeed far too dangerous.
Until you reach a certain level of expertise, you really have to keep a low profile.
Even the Fate Lord is prone to disaster if they go out and have fun.
Jiang Hao's survival can be considered a stroke of good fortune.
This day.
When Su Ming came to visit, he looked at the description of Jiang Hao's recent situation in the communication jade talisman and remained silent for a long time.
He stroked the increasingly powerful rusty sword, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
There was sympathy for the opponent's plight, anger at the Devil Race' actions, and also a sense of emptiness... from the sudden disappearance of the target.
He finally just sighed softly and said to Han Xuanji:
"Senior Brother Han, my promise to him is no longer valid. Now... I only hope he can survive this ordeal."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
The struggle for the Great Dao is inherently cruel, and the dangers of external demonic tribulations far surpass those of competitions within sects.
Jiang Hao's experience served as a warning to all those arrogant and complacent geniuses.
Even Han Xuanji felt a sense of the difficulty of cultivation.
Su Ming shook his head, his tone tinged with self-mockery and solemnity. "Over the years, I dared not slacken in the slightest, relentlessly cultivating in the sect's secret realm, finally reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm. I thought I could finally compete with him at the same level... but unexpectedly..."
His unfinished words were filled with a sense of the impermanence of life.
Although his cultivation level was inferior to his opponent's, they were at least on the same level.
Unexpectedly, I received this message.
"I understand what Senior Brother Han meant."
Su Ming suddenly realized.
Han Xuanji wasn't being discreet or afraid of trouble; rather, she was wisely protecting herself.
Strength... Only absolute strength can be the foundation of one's existence.
After the two finished talking, Su Ming also left.
"Strength... we still need to become stronger."
Han Xuanji muttered to himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
In this increasingly treacherous and dangerous era, where powerful forces make their moves and great calamities lurk beneath the surface, only by mastering the power to overturn everything can one truly protect oneself, remain steadfast amidst the turbulent waves, and pursue the path to immortality and freedom.
He stopped thinking about it and turned to walk straight into the meditation room.
The heavy stone door of the quiet room closed silently, shutting out all the disturbances.
Three years is but a fleeting moment for a cultivator.
On this day, the sky above the Myriad Phenomena Garden was filled with swirling clouds, and the vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi formed a huge vortex, rushing wildly into the quiet room.
Han Xuanji successfully broke through to the True Immortal Realm.
