Of course, Han Xuanji wasn't stupid; she wouldn't produce the exact same thing as before.

Moreover, although the system check-in item is the same and its power is identical, it will also contain a trace of the owner's Dao essence.

However, once these Dao essences pass through Han Xuanji's hands, they will disappear and become his accumulated wealth.

In reality, even if Han Xuanji presented the Primordial Beginning Banner to the Primordial Beginning Dao Venerable in person, the latter would only think that the treasure Han Xuanji had crafted was similar to his own.

At this moment, Sacred Venerable Xuandu also began to talk to Han Xuanji.

After Han Xuanji finished signing in, he was in a great mood and chatted with the Sacred Venerable Xuandu. He also received the Dao of Alchemy inheritance from the Supreme Dao Venerable.

The following time was spent discussing philosophical principles between the two.

Combining his newly acquired insights into Dao of Alchemy with his own cultivation, Han Xuanji's words were exquisite and profound, always hitting the key to the operation of Dao of Alchemy and even the Great Dao. This made the Sacred Venerable Xuandu sometimes clap his hands in praise, sometimes ponder deeply, and sometimes suddenly realize the truth.

"Listening to fellow Daoists discuss the ' Dao of Taiji Yin and Yang '... Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"

The Sacred Venerable Xuandu was shocked; he had not expected Han Xuanji to be so highly skilled.

Han Xuanji smiled without saying a word, only nodding slightly, appearing even more unfathomable.

Before long, the Sacred Venerable Xuandu was completely convinced, his eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation:

"A single conversation with the Dao Venerable today is more valuable than reading millions of years of Daoist scriptures!"

The Daoist path is vast and profound, and its understanding of Dao of Alchemy goes straight to the essence, revealing what no one before has revealed!

It's a pity, a pity our Master isn't here. Otherwise, the two of you sitting down to discuss the Dao would surely have been an unprecedented spectacle since the beginning of time!

At this point, the Sacred Venerable Xuandu slowly said:

"When my master returns, I will earnestly request that Dao Venerable come again to discuss the Great Dao with him in this Eight Sceneries Palace!"

"If the fortuitous opportunity, I will certainly seek guidance from the Supreme Dao Venerable."

Han Xuanji smiled and agreed.

After a long and in-depth conversation, Sacred Venerable Xuandu reluctantly escorted Han Xuanji to the palace gate.

Before parting, he presented Han Xuanji with a purple-gold Bagua token:

"With this token, you may visit at any time; the palace gates are always open for you."

Han Xuanji thanked him and took her leave, then walked out of the palace gate.

When Li Haokong saw Han Xuanji come out, he hurriedly went to greet him. When he saw that the Sacred Venerable Xuandu was standing at the palace gate and was actually giving him a disciple's respectful greeting, his expression changed.

" Xuandu, you are indeed a person who sincerely seeks the Dao."

Han Xuanji said calmly, he could tell that the Sacred Venerable Xuandu was single-mindedly devoted to the Dao and had no ulterior motives.

That makes sense; someone who can become a disciple of the Supreme Dao Venerable couldn't possibly have a bad character.

Later, Han Xuanji also went to a relatively important place in the Heavenly Court that contained Dao essence.

Places such as the Immortal-Slaying Platform, the Imperial Horse Bureau, and the Guanghan Palace...

As Han Xuanji traveled, wherever the system determined that a place possessed valuable Dao essence, he would "check in" without hesitation.

The harvest was varied and diverse, including Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, Hunyuan Dao Treasure Primordial Spirit; Secret Method for purifying the bloodline of the Demon Race; the essence of the Taiyin Moon Essence; and various inherited supernatural Divine Ability. Although not as shocking as the previous places, these were all precious and rare resources, greatly enriching his foundation.

Meanwhile, Li Taiqing and others were representing Han Xuanji in negotiating matters. Even though Han Xuanji didn't care about the distribution of profits, his disciples naturally wouldn't think that way.

Even disregarding Han Xuanji's intervention in repelling the enemy and greatly hindering the Devil Race's advance, his mere presence there was enough to change the course of the situation.

On the other side, in the depths of endless Chaos, lies a dimension shrouded in eternal darkness and evil.

There is no light, no order, only the most primordial Chaos Qi surging like the tide, with billions of demonic souls howling and roaring in the void, forming a scene of despair.

At the heart of the Devil Abyss, a blurry, towering figure slowly opened its eyes. Its body was formed from demonic energy, and its eyes, devoid of pupils, reflected the birth and death of countless worlds.

This figure was none other than the Devil Ancestor.

"Another variable..."

The low, muttered murmurs echoed in the core of the Devil Abyss, each syllable causing the surrounding demonic energy to surge violently.

The Devil Ancestor had countless thoughts flashing through his mind, but he couldn't deduce Han Xuanji's origins at all.

It was precisely for this reason that we decided to back down and reconsider.

"A new being of Wuji existence, this is an unexpected variable... and it is clearly on the side of the Immortal Realm."

"My plan, spanning millennia, using the energy of calamity to invade the Great Luo Heaven Domain, is now halfway successful."

The Devil Ancestor's schemes were far-reaching.

Although the Immortal Realm won the High Antiquity war, it was also severely weakened, its Spiritual Qi declined, its realm shattered, and internal conflicts arose among various races and forces.

The Devil Race may have retreated to the Devil Domain, but in reality, they have already won. After all, these Devil Domain were once Immortal Domain.

If the entire Immortal Realm were to be transformed into a demonic land, it would be a bountiful harvest for him.

However, Han Xuanji's sudden emergence made the Devil Ancestor feel that the threads of his ancient plan had been disrupted by an unexpected hand, and continuing would likely lead to a major failure.

However, while it would be a gain to make him stop and withdraw now, it wouldn't be enough, nor would it be acceptable.

"Although the Hunyuan Wuji and boundless limit have only just begun to take shape, the foundation of the Dao is profound, and the fortune is flourishing... Moreover, it seems to be connected to the lineage of the Dao of the Taishang Being, the Yuanshi, and others..."

The Devil Ancestor's figure shifted slightly, revealing his inner turmoil.

"With just this one Dharma form, even if I could mobilize the surrounding forces, it's unlikely I could suppress or kill this person. In fact, it might prematurely trigger a full-scale war, alarming those old fogies to tear off their masks and take action..."

However, the variable of Han Xuanji must be dealt with.

If left unchecked, it will surely become a major problem in the future.

"We need to leverage their strength... to restrain them or jointly eliminate them."

The Devil Ancestor's will swept across the endless Chaos.

In the endless Chaos, there are also many ancient and powerful Chaos Devil God just like him.

You must know that the Immortal Realm is a highly coveted prize. With the Immortal Ancestor fallen and the powerful beings in the Immortal Realm also bound by his own power, he originally did not want to join forces with others.

But plans can't keep up with changes, and he still intends to give up some benefits.

Finally, his gaze settled in one direction.

The Lord of Greed, also one of the Primordial Chaos Devil God, wields the Hunyuan Wuji, it should still be considerably greater than that of Han Xuanji, a newly ascended Hunyuan Wuji being.

This creature is insatiably greedy, with an endless desire to acquire all resources, energy, and the very essence of the world. It has devoured countless worlds and is a pure opportunist.

However, the Devil Ancestor wasn't afraid of the other party's greed; otherwise, why would he willingly be used by him?

Only with enough 'bait' can we lure this greedy beast...

Bloodlust flashed in the Devil Ancestor's eyes, and countless schemes raced through his mind.

A moment later, he extended a finger condensed from pure demonic energy and gently tapped it into the void.

Buzz--

A beam of extremely condensed, pitch-black demonic light tore through layers of dimensional barriers, ignoring spatial and temporal distances, and instantly entered a mysterious realm.

This message not only contained information about Han Xuanji, but also a tempting offer:

"If you help me suppress or even eliminate this variable, I will allow you to participate in the next 'harvest' of the Immortal Realm."

After this is accomplished, you will receive 20% of the Immortal Realm's origins, living beings, and destiny.
