" Qingxiao, how is it? Did your fellow martial uncles give you any trouble?"
Immortal Lord Yunmiao hurriedly asked.
Although Immortal Venerable Yuheng is the most senior and has the highest cultivation among all the Immortal Venerable, the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace cannot be ruled by him alone.
Han Xuanji looked at his master's concerned expression, smiled slightly, and spoke in a calm tone:
"Master, rest assured, everything is going smoothly. I have reported everything."
Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Yunmiao breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his beard, and smiled:
"If it goes smoothly, that's good, if it goes smoothly... um?"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed something amiss, his expression froze, and his eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Han Xuanji.
In his perception, Han Xuanji's originally obscure and unpredictable aura had now formed a deeper and closer connection with the vast aura of the entire Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
It should be understood that a cultivator's destiny is connected to people, things, and the Dao. Previously, Han Xuanji's destiny was calm and seemed untouched by these causal destinies, but now it seems to be related to the sect.
This is actually not a bad thing.
Others could tell from this aura that Han Xuanji had a close relationship with the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, and that it would be much safer for him to travel in the Immortal Domain when he went out.
"Master... Master?"
Han Xuanji was somewhat puzzled by Immortal Lord Yunmiao's reaction.
Immortal Lord Yunmiao suddenly grabbed Han Xuanji's arm, his voice extremely low:
"Your fate is closely related to the sect. What happened...?"
He had some guesses in his mind, but nothing was certain.
Han Xuanji hadn't expected his master to be so perceptive. After a slight hesitation, he nodded and said frankly:
"The sect says they've chosen me as their Dao Child, but I don't intend to make this public for now."
Despite the existing speculation, hearing it confirmed with his own ears Immortal Lord Yunmiao with immense joy.
Dao Child.
The Dao Child of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
That position is above all True Disciple, a position of high status, representing the future hope of the sect.
They enjoy the sect's top-tier resource allocation and unreserved support.
The Dao Child is not easily established. Over the years, countless brilliant talents have fought for it, yet none have been able to gain the unanimous approval of all the chief disciples.
And now, this position has actually fallen to his youngest disciple.
This was found in a guy who had only been a disciple for a few hundred years, who usually lived a secluded life and was even too lazy to participate in the Seven Lineages Martial Competition.
Even he, as the master, felt that the sect was showing too much favoritism towards his disciple.
"Okay... okay... okay!"
When Immortal Lord Yunmiao came to his senses, his beard trembled slightly with excitement, and he patted Han Xuanji's shoulder forcefully.
"Good lad! You've really made your master proud!"
Overjoyed, he immediately suppressed his emotions, glanced around warily, and solemnly whispered a warning:
"Since it has been decided not to make this public for the time being, it is good. The position of Dao Child is highly respected, but there will be no shortage of those who covet it and those who are jealous."
Before you truly mature, keeping a low profile is the best policy!
"Disciple understands."
Han Xuanji nodded; that was his intention as well.
Now that you have this position, do not let the sect down!
Immortal Lord Yunmiao tried to calm his excited emotions and said.
"Um."
Han Xuanji bowed and took his leave, transforming into a beam of light and departing.
Immortal Lord Yunmiao stood alone, gazing in the direction where his disciple had disappeared, a trace of satisfaction still lingering on his face, as he murmured to himself:
" Dao Child... My disciple Yunmiao is actually Dao Child... Hahaha!"
He couldn't help but chuckle a few more times before straightening his robes and trying to maintain his usual dignified demeanor. However, the barely suppressed smile on his lips betrayed his turbulent inner state.
It's a pity I can't show it off anymore.
This is wonderful news!
Time passed slowly.
After Han Xuanji was established as the Dao Child, he seemed to be no different from before, except that his range of activities had expanded somewhat.
Aside from daily cultivation, he didn't spend long periods of time cultivating in his cave abode, but would occasionally sign in at the sect's Daoist practice grounds.
"System, check-in."
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Hall of Mental Cultivation and have obtained a section of " Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nurturing Divine Wood ".]
[ Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nurturing Divine Wood ]: Nourishes the immortal soul, stabilizes the Primordial Spirit, can resist the invasion of Heart Devil, and assists in enlightenment.
The sign-in rewards remain as practical as ever.
Han Xuanji stored it in his System Space for later use. Without further hesitation, he took out his own Dao Child Token.
Unlike the True Disciple Token, this token can be said to possess the highest authority of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, and its value is beyond description.
With this token, his check-in process became much smoother.
The next moment, Han Xuanji appeared in another secret realm of the sect.
This is the Spacetime Grotto, one of the most core secret realms of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
The moment he stepped inside, he felt a strong sense of weightlessness and dizziness, as if he had been thrown into a turbulent current of time and space.
The scene before me was bizarre and grotesque, with distorted and broken colors, and time and space had lost their inherent order.
Here, time seems to vanish in an instant, yet also stretch out infinitely long.
"What a magnificent Spacetime Grotto!"
Han Xuanji steadied himself. He could clearly sense that this place had an unparalleled advantage in comprehending the two supreme Principle time and space.
He found a relatively stable area where time flowed at about three times the speed of the outside world and sat down cross-legged.
As soon as I calmed down, I immediately noticed the difference.
Time here seems to have a texture; you can touch it and feel its speed and direction of flow.
The space is no longer an empty background, but rather like layers of thin gauze, whose folds and textures can be perceived.
"System, check-in."
Han Xuanji's thoughts stirred slightly.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the Spacetime Grotto and obtained a " Spacetime Fragment ".]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Spacetime Grotto and obtained the entry " Spacetime Dao Body ".]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the Spacetime Grotto and obtained a " Spacetime Fragment ".]
[ Spacetime Fragment and Space: Fragments containing fundamental insights into the Space Principle; absorbing them can enhance one's understanding and affinity with these Spacetime Principle.]
[ Spacetime Dao Body: The past is immutable, the future is uncertain. Your comprehension of the Great Dao of Spacetime is accelerating; you are a person favored by time.]
"Nice one."
Han Xuanji was overjoyed and immediately took out a Spacetime Fragment.
The fragments were like transparent glass, yet inside they seemed to contain countless tiny clock hands spinning, and phantoms of space constantly appearing and disappearing.
He placed it close to his forehead, immersing his Divine Sense into it.
boom!
In that instant, he seemed to transform into a speck of dust, witnessing the birth and Ji Mie of stars, and feeling the Azure Sea passage of time.
"Time is merciless, flowing like a long river that cannot be reversed. All words and descriptions are merely embellishments added by cultivators from the outside world."
Han Xuanji had many insights at this moment.
" The Dao of Time..."
Han Xuanji saw many insights from cultivators who practiced the path of time and space within this Spacetime Fragment.
At the same time, his body was filled with a natural flow of Daoist energy, resonating with the environment of the Spacetime Grotto.
The Double Pupils opened unintentionally, and in the depths of the Chaos color in the eyes, the chaotic yet traceable Principle of the surrounding spacetime were reflected.
While absorbing insights from the Spacetime Fragment, he also used his Double Pupils to directly observe and analyze the chaotic spacetime phenomena here. With this two-pronged approach, his understanding of the Spacetime Principle soared at an unprecedented speed.
