Immortal Venerable Yuxuan's gaze swept across the ten people present, lingering briefly on Han Xuanji. He gave a barely perceptible nod and then spoke:
Everyone has arrived.
"The opening of the Daluo Heaven this time is a grand event for our Human Race. You are all the most outstanding disciples of my Spirit Void Heavenly Palace. The purpose of your trip is twofold: first, to listen to the teachings of great masters and comprehend the profound principles of heaven and earth; second, to broaden your horizons and witness the unparalleled geniuses of the Human Race, so that you will not be arrogant and ignorant."
Everyone's eyes gleamed; some frowned, while others were filled with anticipation.
As a renowned holy land of the Human Race in the upper realm, the Daluo Heaven is steeped in countless legends.
Immortal Venerable Yuxuan said no more and waved his sleeve.
A dazzling beam of celestial light flew out from his sleeve, rapidly expanding in the air and transforming into a celestial vessel about a hundred feet long, its entire body seemingly carved from ten-thousand-year-old black gold.
The celestial boat has smooth lines and is covered with runes, emitting powerful spatial fluctuations. The logo of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace is carved on the bow, appearing and disappearing in the clouds, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"Boat."
With a command from Immortal Venerable Yuxuan, ten figures transformed into streams of light and flew into the immortal ship in turn.
Han Xuanji walked with ease, following the crowd.
Once inside the celestial vessel, the space is far more expansive than it appears from the outside, resembling a mobile palace.
Immortal Venerable Yuxuan walked straight to the control center at the bow of the ship, while the other disciples each found a place to close their eyes and rest, or gathered together to exchange ideas.
Han Xuanji chose a secluded corner, and Su Ming followed closely behind.
"Senior brother, this trip to the Daluo Heaven is said to have gathered top geniuses from all sides, including descendants of Immortal King and inheritors of ancient clans..."
Su Ming's tone carried a hint of longing, as well as a touch of solemnity.
Han Xuanji replied calmly:
"A gathering of heroes and a great master preaching is a rare opportunity. Simply calm your mind and contemplate the teachings; there's no need to be overly attached to victory or empty fame."
"Um."
Su Ming nodded, very respectfully.
At this moment, the immortal ship trembled slightly, then transformed into a stream of light that tore through the void, piercing through layers of clouds. The immortal ship soared upwards, breaking through the spatial barrier, and sped towards the legendary supreme Daoist temple jointly established by the great Human Race — the Daluo Heaven.
The celestial ship traversed smoothly and swiftly through the spatial passage, while the outside world was a dazzling and ever-changing spectacle of the void.
Han Xuanji was secretly amazed, wondering just how high the heavens of this Immortal Realm were.
Inside the ship, the atmosphere among the ten prodigies of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace gradually became more lively after the initial awkwardness.
They were acquainted with each other, and most of them were influential figures. Naturally, they would exchange ideas when they gathered together.
However, many people's gazes, whether openly or subtly, would always drift towards the two figures sitting alone in the secluded corner, especially Han Xuanji.
He's too special.
In terms of cultivation, among the geniuses present, apart from Su Ming, four people had already reached the Golden Immortal Realm realm, while the others were all at the Mystic Immortal realm, with two of them at the Peak Mystic Immortal. Han Xuanji was not particularly outstanding.
Most importantly, almost no one present recognized his identity.
Yet this very person was able to stand alongside them, representing the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace on their way to the Daluo Heaven.
"He must be the legendary Dao Child... He doesn't seem to have anything special about him."
A woman dressed in a flowing cloud-patterned dress, with a cool and aloof demeanor, spoke first, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.
Beside her was Zhou Tianchen, the personal disciple of Immortal Venerable Tianji.
Zhou Tianchen, with his handsome face, slightly suppressed the confident smile that habitually played at the corners of his mouth. He glanced at Han Xuanji and said:
" Fairy Ruoshui, this senior brother seems ordinary, but that's precisely what makes him strange... He must be practicing some kind of sophisticated concealment technique."
Zhou Tianchen's answer left Han Xuanji speechless.
You even noticed that.
But if he were to reveal his true cultivation level, it would probably scare everyone present to death.
At this moment, a young man who had been meditating with his eyes closed, with faint array patterns flowing around his body, slowly opened his eyes.
He looked sharply at Han Xuanji and said calmly:
"In the end, the path of cultivation depends on strength. With the gathering of heroes from the Daluo Heaven, a contest of skill is inevitable. We must not disgrace our Spirit Void Heavenly Palace."
There was a hint of provocation in his words.
Su Ming then revealed the other party's identity:
"Senior brother, this person is called Lin Feng. He has extremely high talent in array formations and is a disciple of Immortal Venerable Changgeng..."
Han Xuanji nodded, but felt somewhat puzzled.
He shouldn't have offended the other party, right?
However, he quickly realized that they probably thought he wasn't qualified to be the Dao Child?
After all, Han Xuanji had never displayed absolute talent and strength, and many of the sect's geniuses were probably somewhat Qi Ingestion. However, they had no idea of his identity before, and the sect leaders would not reveal it.
This was the first time he had been exposed to the public eye.
Sensing the faint probing gazes and subtle fluctuations of divine thought around him, Han Xuanji understood, yet he remained unresponsive, as if immersed in his own world.
Seeing this, the others' opinion of Han Xuanji rose even higher.
This composed demeanor, along with the profound sense of mystery, made them set aside some of their initial disdain.
No one dared to speak out or probe further; they merely observed in secret, each with their own thoughts.
finally.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The celestial boat trembled slightly, as if it had pierced through an invisible membrane, and the chaotic scene outside vanished instantly.
In its place lies a vast expanse that defies description.
Everyone opened their eyes, and the voice of Immortal Venerable Yuxuan reached their ears:
"We have arrived at the Daluo Heaven."
arrive?
Han Xuanji sensed the outside world as if he were in an endless void.
However, this void was not lifeless.
As far as the eye can see, in the distance, one can vaguely see floating fairy mountains, with the outlines of palaces and pavilions on them, radiating various colors of rosy light.
Further away, there seemed to be a winding river of stars, ancient trees rooted in the void reaching for the sky, and strange creatures swimming like living beings... bizarre and fantastical, beyond the comprehension of common sense.
This is the Daluo Heaven, a profound Dao realm created by many powerful beings of the Human Race in the Endless Void.
Many of the geniuses from the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace were clearly visiting for the first time, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Soon, led by Immortal Venerable Yuxuan, the group arrived at a grand hall.
Primordial Beginning Hall.
Hundreds of figures had already gathered in front of the hall, all of them Human Race cultivators with varying levels of cultivation. The lowest level was that of Su Ming, who was not even at the Mystic Immortal level, while others were at the Golden Immortal level.
Immortal Venerable Yuxuan landed in front of the main hall with everyone, uttered a few words, and then disappeared:
"You shall remain here and not wander off."
In an instant, many Divine Sense swept over the people of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, including Han Xuanji.
Han Xuanji adjusted his cultivation to the Middle-Stage Mystic Immortal and revealed his Double Pupils talent, since having too low an aptitude would have seemed rather abrupt.
Mystic Immortal with Double Pupils is quite impressive.
"Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens."
Han Xuanji thought to himself, he didn't want to become the center of attention like the protagonist in a novel.
