Han Xuanji looked at the gray energy ball in front of him and nodded secretly:
"No wonder ancient books record that some beings who reach their extremes will have thoughts of 'destroying the world' or 'creating the world'."
This is not entirely a self-destructive madness, but also an exploration of the fundamental principles of Tao.
The birth and destruction of the world both bring many benefits.
For those who pursue the Great Dao, it's not hard to understand why they would stop at nothing to advance further.
Since it was a product of the system, refining this item was naturally not difficult for Han Xuanji.
As the energy orb merged into Han Xuanji's body.
His understanding of the various Great Daos, especially his comprehension of the composition of the world and the operation of the Principle of Heavenly Dao, deepened at an unprecedented speed.
Time flew by during my deep seclusion.
One hundred years later.
When the last trace of the world's origin was completely refined and absorbed, Han Xuanji's aura reached a critical point, and he broke through smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
"Phew... I've reached the Hunyuan One Qi Daluo Golden Immortal Ninth Layer."
Han Xuanji opened his eyes, and within them seemed countless worlds were being created and destroyed in an instant.
He felt that his control over power and his understanding of the Great Dao had reached a completely new level.
Although the realm has not yet broken through to the Hunyuan Taiji, the realm has advanced by leaps and bounds.
In just one hundred years, he broke through two realms in succession, which is simply unimaginable for other Hunyuan One Qi Daluo Golden Immortal.
While Han Xuanji was in seclusion, Jiang Hao had already returned to the Jiang Household. The blue Other Shore he brought back successfully healed the Dao foundation injury of the Ancestor Linyuan, making him a great contributor to the Jiang Household. He received the Lineage's full support and his own cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had already stabilized at the Peak Golden Immortal. He was in high spirits.
This day.
Jiang Hao resolutely bid farewell to the pleas of his Lineage members and returned to the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
His first stop was naturally Myriad Phenomena Garden, where he caught up with everyone.
When he felt the even stronger Spiritual Qi in the garden again, he couldn't help but smile.
Su Ming, a close friend, came to greet him and immediately put his arm around the other's shoulder, saying:
"You finally decided to come back?"
"Brother Su, you're almost at that stage too?"
Jiang Hao was dumbfounded when he saw the other party's cultivation level. He thought his progress was fast enough, but he didn't expect the other party to be no slower than him!
Su Ming glanced at him, extremely smug, as if he were merely stating a perfectly simple fact:
"Senior Brother Han gave me a few casual pointers; how could cultivation be difficult?"
A century has passed, but the people in Myriad Phenomena Garden have never relaxed their cultivation.
With Han You and Xiao Hong joining, the pressure on everyone has only increased.
The latter, needless to say, was the second strongest person handpicked by Han Xuanji, and his strength was unfathomable.
Su Ming also challenged him, but he couldn't even touch a hair on the ground, let alone defeat him.
Han You initially lost to Su Ming, who was still at the Golden Immortal Realm level, because he was unfamiliar with his own power. However, after receiving guidance from others, he rose to third place with the strength of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask:
"What about the others?"
Su Ming chuckled and said:
"Naturally, it's not bad either. Even Little White has already reached the Golden Immortal."
Because Han Xuanji was not satisfied with the strength of these people, his minimum requirement for his disciples was that they must at least reach the Daluo Realm.
Therefore, Han Xuanji would also take time to multitask, using his incarnation to preach to them. If they had any questions about cultivation, they could ask him for guidance.
He even fed the Little White Tiger a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Under these circumstances, everyone in the Myriad Phenomena Garden experienced a rapid advancement in their cultivation.
Su Ming seemed to have suddenly become enlightened, and his cultivation improved at an astonishing speed, almost breaking through to become Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Han Xuanji noticed the changes in Su Ming's body. It seemed that Su Ming's physique had been sealed by someone, so his talent was not particularly strong at first. Perhaps because of him, he had begun to awaken his true physique.
As Su Ming underwent changes, his value also soared, reaching thirty simulation attempts, which made Han Xuanji somewhat uneasy.
"Alas, it's a pity I already have a master, otherwise I would have become Senior Brother Han's disciple long ago..."
Su Ming said it casually.
This was precisely what reminded Jiang Hao, and his heart raced:
"Yes..."
He was always grateful to Han Xuanji for saving his life and for guiding him; previously, he regarded Han Xuanji as a senior brother with unfathomable strength.
But it was only at this moment, upon hearing Su Ming's "casual" remark, that he suddenly realized the truth.
Since he had never formally taken anyone as his master, an unprecedented idea began to sprout wildly in his heart like a seed.
He had always been thinking about how to repay the kindness and seeking fortuitous opportunity to become stronger, but he never thought that perhaps... staying by Senior Brother Han's side and following him was already the greatest fortuitous opportunity.
Similarly, only by becoming stronger can one truly help Senior Brother Han, instead of remaining someone who needs protection and favors.
Moreover, with the example of Lu Fan and the others, Jiang Hao suddenly understood and felt much more relaxed.
With this in mind, Jiang Hao exchanged pleasantries with Su Ming before heading to Han Xuanji's secluded cultivation location.
"Come in."
Just as they arrived outside the pavilion, Han Xuanji's voice drifted out.
Jiang Hao took a deep breath, straightened his robes, and pushed open the door to enter.
Han Xuanji had already stepped out of the quiet room. His aura was harmonious and restrained, as if he had merged with the entire world, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth, like facing a vast starry sea.
He had just finished his seclusion, and his cultivation level had stabilized at the Hunyuan One Qi Daluo Golden Immortal Ninth Layer. His eyes shone with a gentle light as he calmly looked at Jiang Hao who had walked in.
"Senior Brother Han."
Jiang Hao respectfully.
"Hmm, it seems the Jiang Household matter is settled, and your cultivation has improved considerably."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, her tone flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Jiang Hao raised his head and looked at Han Xuanji, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Without further hesitation, he took a step back, straightened his clothes, and then, under Han Xuanji's slightly surprised gaze, solemnly knelt down and kowtowed.
" Jiang Hao is dull-witted; in the past, he only knew to be grateful for his senior brother's life-saving guidance, but he failed to delve into its meaning..."
Jiang Hao's voice carried a hint of excitement, yet it was incredibly clear and firm.
" Jiang Hao is unworthy, but wishes to become your disciple and show you the proper respect. I humbly request that you accept me! From this day forward, I will diligently cultivate myself, obey your teachings, and never fail to repay your kindness!"
Having said that, he remained in the kowtow position, waiting quietly, his heart filled with both anticipation and a touch of unease, wondering how Han Xuanji respond.
Han Xuanji looked at Jiang Hao kneeling on the ground, a knowing glint in his eyes.
In Jiang Hao's simulation, he also became his apprentice.
Isn't he just someone with great fortune?
He's already at the Hunyuan Realm, so he's not afraid of getting entangled in this karma.
Not long after, Han Xuanji spoke slowly, his voice still calm, yet carrying an undeniable power:
"Since you are sincere, I will accept you as my disciple. From this day forward, you will be my sixth disciple."
Without much trial and error, everything fell into place naturally.
However, thinking about what Jiang Hao would encounter in the future, Han Xuanji also had some plans in mind.
Devil Race... just wait!
