Han Xuanji only stopped checking in after receiving the system notification.
The Weak Water Profound Crystal is a strange crystal that appears entirely black. It is not a simple ore, but rather the essence formed over countless years in the Weak Water. It contains the extremely pure Weak Water Mystic Yin power and is also a top-tier material.
The Heavenly River Star Sand is a type of sand that shimmers with various colors of light like stars. It is a special spiritual material formed by the long-term erosion of the essence of stars in the Heavenly River, and it is also one of the materials used to build the Chaos Heavenly Gate.
"The natural barrier here is truly exceptional."
Han Xuanji gave a compliment but showed no intention of venturing deeper into the Weak Water area.
The system has already warned that the spiritual energy of this place is decreasing, and the core area may involve the Heavenly Court's defense secrets, so it is neither advisable nor necessary to forcibly explore it.
Li Haokong stood aside, secretly marveling at the sight.
He had seen many powerful figures come here to admire the Weak Water, but none like Han Xuanji, who only watched quietly for a moment, as if that forbidden land that even immortals and gods avoided was nothing more than a unique landscape in his eyes.
" The Heavenly River Weak Water truly live up to their name; it is indeed a wondrous place that contains the profound principles of heaven and earth."
Han Xuanji spoke slowly, his voice calm.
Li Haokong quickly bowed:
" The Great Heavenly Venerable Venerable's cultivation is profound; his words hit the nail on the head. This river is indeed a marvel of creation, protecting the Heavenly Court for countless eons."
"Um."
Han Xuanji nodded, his gaze shifting to the other, more dazzling and bright sections of the Heavenly River.
"Besides the Weak Water, the rest of the Heavenly River must also hold some other mysteries."
Upon hearing this, Li Haokong dared not be negligent and quickly replied:
The " Heavenly River Star Marrow " nurtured within the Heavenly River is also a rare treasure. Legend has it that the depths of the riverbed are deposited with the remains of stars that fell here in High Antiquity times and even earlier, as well as treasures left by immortals and gods. Occasionally, a lucky person will encounter fortuitous opportunity.
" Great Heavenly Venerable, would you like to continue our tour along the Heavenly River? Ahead lies the ' Heavenly River Ferry,' where one can witness the magnificent sight of stars hanging low over the plains, and also the ruins of the ' Heavenly River Palace.'"
Li Haokong offered a timely new suggestion.
"Then let's go take a look."
Han Xuanji readily accepted good advice.
After checking in at Heavenly River Weak Water, it's time to move on to another place and continue "exploring".
He didn't seem to care much about the "star remnants" and "divine treasures" that Li Haokong mentioned. Even the best treasures probably couldn't compare to the core item he obtained from signing in.
"Yes, sir!"
Li Haokong gladly led the way, as he was more than happy to accompany this Great Heavenly Venerable on his tour of several places.
Although he didn't know why Han Xuanji wanted to travel to these places, he had a pretty good idea of what Han Xuanji was thinking.
Han Xuanji followed Li Haokong and soon arrived at a ferry crossing.
The so-called " Heavenly River Ferry " is not an ordinary dock, but a magnificent platform floating on the banks of the dazzling Heavenly River, crafted from special celestial materials.
The platform extends into the river, with no railings along its edges. Only a misty, starlight-filled atmosphere surrounds it. Standing on the edge of the platform, one feels as if they are in the center of a galaxy, surrounded by flowing starlight and deep void. The extreme magnificence of the Heavenly River intertwines with a sense of one's own insignificance, leaving one deeply moved.
At the ferry crossing, several quaint little boats, shrouded in the soft starlight, were moored; these were "star boats" specifically designed for safe navigation within the Heavenly River's celestial sphere.
At this moment, with no immortals or gods using it, the ferry crossing appears even more spacious and tranquil.
" Great Heavenly Venerable, this is the Heavenly River Ferry."
Li Haokong explained,
In High Antiquity times, Heavenly Court officials traveled to and from Tianxing regions and inspected all realms. They often set off from here in starships, passing through tributaries of the Heavenly River and heading towards the boundless void.
This place has been subjected to the constant erosion of the Heavenly River's stellar energy for a long time, making its Spacetime Dao Principle relatively active.
Han Xuanji stood at the edge of the ferry, his clothes fluttering slightly in the starlight and air currents. He gazed at the boundless, dazzling Heavenly River and the deep universe, feeling the unique sense of space and the mood of his departure. He also had some insights.
The system notification sounded precisely on time.
[The eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Ferry " has been detected. Check in now?]
"Check-in."
Han Xuanji's thoughts stirred slightly.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Ferry " and have received a " Heaven-Patrolling Star Boat ".]
The Heaven-Patrolling Star Boat is crafted from rare immortal materials such as Star Adamantine, Void Wood, and Flowing Light Sand. With this vessel, one can traverse the Heavenly River and even travel through the Chaos Realm. It can withstand several full-force attacks from the Hunyuan Taiji Realm, and its value is immeasurable.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Ferry " and have received one " Heavenly River Guiding Star Lamp ".]
This is an ancient-style bronze lamp that can automatically draw upon the power of the Heavenly River to aid in cultivation, guide one's path, and dispel the illusions of the void.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Ferry " and have received a " Zhoutian Star Chart " item.]
[ Zhoutian Star Chart: A star chart recording the celestial paths of Chaos, which can be used to travel through Chaos.]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Ferry " and have obtained one " Heavenly River Star Marrow ".]
The haul at Heavenly River Ferry was mostly secondary; while there were no earth-shattering treasures, items such as starships, guiding lanterns, and compasses were all decent little things, which Han Xuanji accepted without hesitation.
"Setting off on a long journey, waiting for the return... the local customs and traditions here are quite unique."
Han Xuanji commented once, then withdrew his gaze from the Milky Way.
"Where is that Heavenly River Palace?"
" Your Great Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly River Palace is located not far above the ferry crossing, on a floating celestial islet. Please follow me."
Li Haokong led Han Xuanji away from the ferry platform and ascended on a cloud.
A moment later, the ruins of a palace complex built against a huge floating fairy mountain came into view.
Most of the palaces are in ruins, but the main structure remains. The materials used are extremely exquisite, mostly celestial materials such as star gems and Heavenly River Sunken Silver. Even after countless years, they still exude a faint starlight.
This place has clearly been abandoned for a long time and no one has taken care of it, but it is still clean and tidy, and the broken walls and ruins exude an ancient sense of history.
[The eight-star sign-in location " Heavenly River Palace " has been detected. Sign in now?]
"System, check-in."
Han Xuanji silently recited in his heart.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Palace " and obtained the " Heavenly River Battle Halberd ".]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Palace " and obtained the " Heavenly River Battle Armor ".]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Palace " and obtained the " Heavenly River War God Inheritance ".]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly River Palace " and obtained the " Heavenly River Navy Battle Formation ".]
This seems to be the legacy left by a powerful divine general who guards the Heavenly River, containing multiple killing and combat Divine Ability, water-based combat Divine Ability, and pointing directly to the realm of Hunyuan Taiji.
Han Xuanji inquired and learned about the origins of this Heavenly River War God.
He was one of the Ten Great War Gods of Heavenly Court. In High Antiquity times, he used the Heavenly River Grand Formation to kill countless Devil Race and also slew many powerful High Antiquity demons. He was famous and powerful. After fighting the Great Heavenly Devil in the High Antiquity war, he disappeared and has not returned to this day.
This inheritance was naturally useless to Han Xuanji, but it might be of great inspiration to disciples like Jiang Hao, so it was better than nothing.
