[ The Sacred Venerable Xuandu: Hunyuan Taiji Daluo Golden Immortal, the first disciple of the Supreme Dao Venerable, one of the first Human Race in the world, possessing the great fortune of Human Race, and having supported many ancient Human Emperor, he is a figure akin to the progenitor of Human Race. He usually cultivates diligently in the Tushita Palace, seeking the Great Dao, and does not concern himself with worldly affairs. He will only intervene when Human Race is destroyed. He has emerged from seclusion because of your arrival.]
Han Xuanji silently observed the Sacred Venerable Xuandu, and could only say that the cultivation world truly emphasized one's origins.
As a disciple of the Dao Venerable, even the Heavenly Emperor couldn't do anything about him and had to treat him with respect.
Other Heavenly Court Emperor Lord, even those at the Hunyuan Taiji Realm, did not possess such freedom.
A look of curiosity appeared in Sacred Venerable Xuandu's eyes as he said:
" The Dao Venerable's strength is as vast as the starry sea, and his aura contains the Xuanji of creation and destruction, truly something I have only seen once in countless years. Fellow Dao of Alchemy..."
He paused, then made an unexpected decision, stepping aside to open a crack in the palace gate, and sincerely invited:
" The Outer Dao still linger. Since the Dao Venerable has this affinity with my lineage, would you be willing to step into the palace for a discussion?"
Although my master is still traveling, I also have some questions and doubts. Perhaps I can ask my fellow Daoists for some guidance.
Li Haokong listened in stunned silence.
Unexpectedly, the usually aloof and indifferent Sacred Venerable Xuandu was so bold. Although he held a high position in the Heavenly Court and was on par with the Four Imperial Supreme Emperors, Han Xuanji was even more extraordinary. His position was on par with the Heavenly Emperor. Even if his strength was not as great as those ancient Dao Venerable, it was certainly not comparable to those below the level of Dao Venerable.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji's heart stirred.
Tushita Palace, the sacred site of the Supreme Dao Venerable!
Throughout history, how many immortals and powerful beings have been fortunate enough to enter this realm?
Most importantly, Han Xuanji sense that there was something Xuanji Tushita Palace.
The sign-in rewards should include more than just these.
Although he was delighted, Han Xuanji showed no sign of it on his face. After a moment's thought, he nodded in response:
"Since it is Mage Xuandu's hospitality, it would be impolite to refuse."
The Sacred Venerable Xuandu did not actually have a specific Daoist title, because the Supreme Dao Venerable did not bestow a Daoist title upon him. He was only called the Grand Master of Xuandu because he once presided over Xuandu City and opened up the Grand Mage Xuandu Great Dao. Later, because he saved the Human Race many times, he was revered as the Saint Venerable by the Human Race.
This address to Mage Xuandu can be seen as bringing the two closer.
Li Haokong was filled with envy; indeed, people with status and background were different.
The two became acquainted as soon as they met.
But this Sacred Venerable Xuandu had never seen him treat anyone like this before.
"Please, Dao Venerable!"
The Sacred Venerable Xuandu looked pleased and personally led the way.
Li Haokong did not follow them inside, but waited outside the palace.
Then, following the Sacred Venerable Xuandu, they stepped through the palace gate that symbolized the highest holy land of the Immortal Realm.
The moment you step through the palace gates, it's as if you've crossed an invisible boundary, replaced by an indescribable sense of tranquility and non-action.
The palace interior is not luxurious; it is simple and unpretentious, yet subtly exudes an air of grandeur.
Beneath our feet lies a warm, smooth purple jade floor, where the Spiritual Qi of earth fire faintly circulates. The pillars are dark purple with mysterious cloud patterns, and the fragrance of elixir permeates the air, becoming even purer. Looking up, one can see a slowly rotating Taiji Diagram on the dome, with faint purple-gold flames flickering at the eyes of the Yin-Yang Fish, as if expounding the fundamental principles of heaven and earth.
The Sacred Venerable Xuandu led Han Xuanji through several seemingly simple yet spatially mysterious corridors and gardens, and suddenly the scene before them opened up.
It's not a more luxurious and magnificent palace, but rather a return to simplicity.
In the center of a courtyard shrouded in a faint purple qi, stood a Daoist palace that was not very tall. The plaque above it bore the three ancient Daoist characters " Eight Sceneries Palace," the handwriting of which was consistent with the plaque of the Tushita Palace, but with an added touch of harmony and ease.
In front of the palace stand several Ancient Dao Comprehension Tree. Under the trees are stone tables and benches. On the table is an unfinished game of Go. The black and white Go stones are naturally warm and smooth, and faintly exude the Daoist principles of Yin and Yang.
Beside the palace, a clear spring murmurs, and several rare and precious herbs, hard to find elsewhere, grow serenely by its edge.
This place is called Eight Sceneries Palace, which was the place where the Supreme Dao Venerable lived and preached in the past. The Sacred Venerable Xuandu also usually cultivated in the Eight Sceneries Palace. There are also a few of his disciples here. They are few in number, but they are all people with profound Daoist cultivation and talent.
Compared to the solemnity of the Tushita Palace, this place has a greater sense of Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity.
The walls of the corridor are not made of bricks and stones, but of a kind of Chaos jade that can carry the Daoist essence. There are no carvings on them, but countless subtle Dao of Alchemy runes and traces of creation naturally emerge on them. These are all left by the Daoist essence naturally permeating the walls when the Supreme Dao Venerable Daoist Master was refining elixirs and comprehending the Dao over a long period of time.
As Han Xuanji walked among them, it felt as if he were strolling along the banks of a long river of Dao of Alchemy Principle.
" Dao Venerable, this is the Eight Sceneries Palace, where Master and we usually reside."
The Sacred Venerable Xuandu explained, his tone carrying a relaxed air of returning to familiar surroundings.
"The palace furnishings are simple; I hope you will forgive my lack of refinement Dao Venerable."
Han Xuanji's gaze swept over the area, and a thought suddenly struck him.
This place seems simple, but every plant, tree, stone and spring are all perfectly integrated with the surrounding heaven and earth, as if they should be here. If they are more, they will be redundant, and if they are less, they will be missing.
Especially the unfinished game of chess, where black and white intertwined, subtly conveyed a profound truth about the waxing and waning of yin and yang.
really.
This is the real place to sign in.
Although the outer Tushita Palace was extraordinary, it was merely a place for alchemy and receiving guests.
This place is the true Daoist temple of the Supreme Dao Venerable, where he usually cultivates and preaches, and it contains most of the Daoist essence.
Han Xuanji was overjoyed; she had indeed made the right choice.
If he had been too lazy to communicate with the Sacred Venerable Xuandu, he might have missed this fortuitous opportunity.
The Eight Sceneries Palace is extremely well hidden; even without careful investigation, it would be difficult for him to detect it.
At this moment, the young Daoist priests in the distance also looked over curiously. Seeing that it was a guest personally accompanied by their master, and that he had such an extraordinary demeanor, they all bowed respectfully.
The Sacred Venerable Xuandu gave a brief introduction:
"These are my unworthy disciples, who usually serve the Daoist lineage and manage the palace."
His words carried a hint of kindness.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, as if to say hello.
He could tell that these people were all Human Race, with extremely solid foundations and pure hearts, and their future achievements were limitless. The Taishang lineage was indeed profound.
Just as Han Xuanji was pondering, a system notification sounded.
[The eight-star check-in location " Eight Sceneries Palace " has been detected. Do you wish to check in?]
"System, check-in."
Han Xuanji's mind raced.
It's still an eight-star check-in spot, but I'm filled with anticipation.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Eight-Star Check-in Site " Eight Sceneries Palace " and obtained the supreme treasure " Heaven and Earth Exquisite Black and Yellow Pagoda ".]
The first reward sent a jolt through Han Xuanji's heart.
Another priceless treasure!
Previously, I obtained many treasures from Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable through daily check-ins; this time...
The teachings of the Supreme Dao Venerable are also not to be missed.
Now that he was here, Han Xuanji decided to empty the Supreme Dao Venerable.
