[Chu Wuyai: A ninth-level Taiyi Golden Immortal, the reincarnation of the Great Chu Holy Emperor. He has accumulated the foundation of the Great Chu Divine Dynasty over countless years, creating the destiny of a Holy Emperor and the physique of a Human Emperor in this life. He is attempting to seize the throne of the Human Emperor in this life, with far-reaching plans. He is quite curious about you and feels that you are not simple either.]
Great Chu Holy Emperor?
That was none other than the founder of the Great Chu Divine Dynasty, an ancient Daluo Golden Immortal.
It seems that the other party was not forced to reincarnate after his death, but rather sought the position of Human Emperor in order to reach the Hunyuan Realm.
In other words, the other party might even be a Nine-Transformation Daluo Golden Immortal.
It seems that Xuanyuan Po has little chance of winning against someone like that.
Han Xuanji felt a strange sense of schadenfreude.
However, the other party still gave him face, so he calmly returned the greeting:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you flatter me."
Chu Wuya looked young, showing no signs of being an ancient reincarnation.
Chu Wuya smiled gently, but then changed the subject:
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Han has accepted Brother Xuanyuan's invitation to jointly venture into the Ancient Road of Trials."
This made Wuya quite envious.
I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han would be willing to give Wuyai a chance as well?
If they can look after each other on the ancient road, it would surely benefit both sides.
His words were perfectly tactful, expressing his intention to win them over while also giving them ample face.
Many of the surrounding prodigies nodded secretly, agreeing that Chu Wuya was indeed tolerant.
Xuanyuan Po's expression darkened slightly, and he was about to speak when Han Xuanji calmly replied:
"I appreciate Fellow Daoist Chu's kind offer."
He was uncomfortable around this old monster and had to be wary of any schemes the other might have.
In comparison, Xuanyuan Po delicate features.
Chu Wuya was not annoyed by this; instead, he nodded with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Han is a man of integrity and keeps his promises, which is admirable. In that case, I wish you all a successful journey on the ancient road."
If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime.
His demeanor was composed, and his words were appropriate; anyone who saw him would praise him as having "the bearing of Holy Emperor."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Chu Wuya also invited many prodigies to a gathering at the Human Emperor Hall.
The two groups soon happened to run into each other.
The banquets were all held in a side hall of the Human Emperor Hall.
Inside the side hall of the Human Emperor Hall, the fragrance of ancient sandalwood lingered between the beams and pillars, the glazed cups reflected the rosy light falling from the dome, and wisps of smoke rose from the bronze incense burner, condensing into the shape of Divine Phoenix spreading its wings.
Chu Wuya chatted and laughed with several of his close friends, occasionally raising his glass to Han Xuanji in a toast, his manners impeccable.
suddenly.
Chu Wuya walked towards Han Xuanji, smiling as he said:
"This tea was harvested from the ancient Three-Tribulation Dao Comprehension Ancient Tree in the ancestral land of my Great Chu. Fellow Daoist Han, you may wish to sample it."
Chu Wuya's sleeves fluttered, and the tea poured out like an inverted Milky Way, each drop containing the image of the rising and setting of the sun and moon.
"Those who drink may glimpse a sliver of the secrets of their past and present lives."
The assembled elites suddenly gasped for breath.
Such a gesture is truly exaggerated.
It seems that this prince of the Great Chu Kingdom has a very high opinion of the Daoist Dao Child of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
Upon witnessing this scene...
Xuanyuan Po frowned, clearly very dissatisfied with the other party's poaching behavior.
I was here first.
Before he could even speak...
Han Xuanji immediately took the teacup and drank the extraordinary tea in one gulp.
This action caused a stir among the crowd, clearly indicating that someone knew something was amiss.
This ancient tea, which has undergone three tribulations to achieve enlightenment, is no ordinary item.
Upon swallowing the tea, there was no explosive burst of spiritual power as I had imagined. Instead, an ultimate tranquility instantly enveloped my soul, as if time and space had frozen.
Han Xuanji's vision blurred, his consciousness was pulled into a Chaos place, fragments of time swept past him like a river, countless blurry figures and scenes Startling Swan in a flash, there were golden spears and iron horses, there were crumbling palaces, there were unfamiliar shouts, there were brilliant Dao Principles intertwined... those were traces of reincarnation, and he didn't know if they were the so-called past lives and present lives.
However, deep within that mist, a clear and true spirit, transcending the cycle of reincarnation in this world, remained unmoved. It was the essence of Daluo Golden Immortal, firmly anchored to Han Xuanji in the "present."
The illusion receded like the tide, and his eyes instantly regained their clarity, as if he had only been momentarily distracted.
Taking a sip of tea is equivalent to undergoing three tribulations in the cycle of reincarnation; it is truly a treasure.
"The meaning of three kalpas of reincarnation, the enlightenment of heavenly secrets in one sip."
Han Xuanji put down his cup, his tone calm, showing no sign of indulgence.
"Good tea!"
The hall fell silent instantly.
Several prodigies who knew the tea's power looked astonished.
They had drunk this tea before, and even a small sip required considerable mental effort to break free from the illusion of reincarnation. How could they compare to Han Xuanji, who remained so calm and composed, as if nothing had happened?
A barely perceptible glint flashed in the depths of Chu Wuya's eyes, then his smile widened, and he clapped his hands in praise:
"Fellow Daoist Han's unwavering resolve is truly unparalleled in my life. I admire you!"
He then took out a jade wine vessel.
"Then let this cup of 'Azure Immortal Wine' be a wish for Fellow Daoist Han's long and prosperous path."
After he said this, everyone looked at Han Xuanji with a different expression.
Such high praise further increased Lingxu Dao Child's importance in everyone's minds.
Han Xuanji drank with him without changing his expression, his heart unmoved.
Although the tea was good, he was already at the Daluo Realm, and with the addition of the Mortal Dust Immortal Realm, it didn't affect his mind. However, the corresponding benefit was also not great; it only slightly enhanced his soul.
Seeing that Han Xuanji did not seem to intend to leave his camp, Xuanyuan Po's tense expression eased slightly. He snorted coldly, and although he did not speak, his gaze toward Chu Wuya became even more wary.
This guy was definitely up to no good; he wanted to use the Enlightenment Tea to test Han Xuanji's true strength.
Chu Wuya was also sensible enough not to bother Han Xuanji any longer. He turned around gracefully and went to talk to others, as if what had just happened was really just a routine act of offering tea.
After several rounds of drinks, just as Xuanyuan Po was about to announce the trial, Chu Wuya stood up first:
"Fellow Daoists, the Ancient Road of Trials is about to open."
I, Wuya, though unworthy, wish to establish a "Tea Ceremony for Seeking the Dao," a place to gather friends over tea. Whether you are a fellow traveler or not, all are welcome to come, savor tea, discuss the Dao, and explore its profound Xuanji together.
These words immediately won a round of applause.
Many neutral prodigies showed expressions of approval.
The Great Chu Divine Dynasty has always been famous for its various ancient teas, and being able to get a cup of the finest tea would be of great benefit to them.
Han Xuanji observed coldly, her mind perfectly clear.
Chu Wuya was indeed a master of tactics. He subtly stole the limelight from Xuanyuan Po, demonstrated his magnanimity, and seized the opportunity to win people's hearts.
Such shrewdness is indeed in line with the style of the Great Chu Holy Emperor.
The other party's wealth accumulated over many years is far beyond what a junior Xuanyuan Po could possibly achieve by trying to extort money from them.
However, it has nothing to do with him; Han Xuanji has already achieved his goal for this trip.
[The Seven-Star Sign-in Location " Human Emperor's Side Hall" has been detected. Sign in now?]
"Just a side hall?"
Han Xuanji was slightly disappointed, but quickly realized that this meant many places here were places to sign in, even this side hall for receiving guests was a place to sign in with the Seven Stars.
The core area is obviously no worse than this.
"System, check-in."
Han Xuanji silently recited in his heart.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the " Human Emperor's Side Hall" in the Seven Star Check-in Area and have obtained a wisp of " Human Dao Imperial Qi "]
" Human Dao Imperial Qi?"
Han Xuanji murmured to himself, "This is the first time I've heard of this."
[ Human Dao Imperial Qi: Manifestation of the Human Race's fortune, a supreme treasure of destiny. Refining it will grant the Human Emperor Fortune. It can also be used to refine Divine Ability Law Treasure and divine powers.]
For cultivators practicing the Emperor's Cultivation Method, this should be an unparalleled treasure.
Han Xuanji remained silent and simply continued signing in.
