" The Reincarnation Purgatory Central Restriction Dao Seal? The name is quite straightforward..."
Han Xuanji's heart stirred, and with the system notification, a palm-sized seal appeared in the System Space.
He didn't even need to read the system description; he knew what it was for.
When Han Xuanji took out the Dao Seal, his divine sense intertwined with it, and he clearly felt that he had established a clear connection with this complex and extremely dangerous Reincarnation Purgatory space!
It was as if a map of a maze, originally shrouded in mist and riddled with traps, had suddenly been illuminated in his mind, revealing countless nodes and pathways... He easily grasped the core structure and authority of the entire Reincarnation Purgatory, a vast system of restrictions established since the Immortal Ancestor created it and subsequently enhanced by the Dao Ancestor Immortal Ancestor.
"Good."
Han Xuanji's lips curled slightly, and he understood.
"This seal is not a simple control token, but rather a part of the 'source code' or 'highest authority key' of the Purgatory Restriction System."
The Immortal Ancestor created this prison and established its fundamental Principle; the Dao Ancestor reinforced the seal and added endless variations.
This Dao Seal is not a contingency plan left by the Immortal Ancestor, but rather a token formed by the Dao Ancestor when he reinforced the seal by condensing a portion of his core control authority.
Those who obtain this seal, within the realm of Purgatory, are essentially granted the authority of a 'master'!
"But why didn't the Dao Ancestor leave this seal behind or tell future generations about it?"
A hint of doubt flashed through Han Xuanji's mind.
[ The Reincarnation Purgatory Central Restriction Dao Seal: This is the core hub of the restriction system that naturally condensed when the Immortal Ancestor created the Reincarnation Purgatory. Later, it was refined into a Dao Seal by the Dao Ancestor. To prevent the Lord of Myriad Voids from escaping, and also to give ancient beings hope of escape, it is placed somewhere within the Reincarnation Purgatory.]
"It seems it was my influence that caused the Devil Ancestor to make changes, leading to the premature birth of these ancient beings..."
After reading the system introduction, Han Xuanji made some guesses.
This thing gives the Ancestral Witch and the Evil Qilin a glimmer of hope for getting out, but leaving it outside would make it easy for malicious people to exploit and cause chaos. It would be extremely difficult to obtain normally.
Han Xuanji deduced a few more things and then understood the cause and effect.
" Han You was supposed to be the one to break this seal in the future... but with my involvement, many futures have been disrupted."
"However, the emergence of ancient beings is also an almost inevitable future."
Han Xuanji pondered silently, feeling only the wonder of fate.
He undoubtedly possesses the ability to foresee and even alter many destinies, which is a testament to his personal strength; his power has already transcended fate.
That said, the reward is extremely valuable in a certain sense. It doesn't directly enhance Han Xuanji's personal strength, but rather provides considerable assistance for this operation.
Imagine that when he is fighting against the Lord of Myriad Voids at the bottom of Purgatory, he can mobilize the restrictions of the entire Reincarnation Purgatory at any time to assist in attacks or defenses, and even... at critical moments, he can try to communicate with or influence the Chaos Purgatory Suppression Stele that suppresses the core through this Dao Seal!
Just as Han Xuanji was about to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation Purgatory.
" Dao Venerable! Please wait!"
Di Jiang's voice, tinged with urgency, reached Han Xuanji's ears.
Han Xuanji stopped and turned to look at Di Jiang, who was rushing over.
As Di Jiang approached, its four wings folded, and it landed a few feet behind Han Xuanji.
At this moment, he had suppressed all the domineering aura that belonged to the Ancestral Witch, and the way he looked at Han Xuanji was completely different from before.
" Di Jiang, why did you come along?"
Han Xuanji slowly turned around, his gaze calmly fixed on the returning head of the Ancestral Witch.
"This place is dangerous, and your injuries have not yet healed, your vital energy is depleted, so it is not suitable for you to go deeper."
Di Jiang took a deep breath, his chest, covered in strange patterns, heaving slightly, and said in a deep voice:
" The Dao Venerable Di Jiang will never forget the kindness of the Daoist. Although this calamity was not directly caused by our clan, the cycle of reincarnation has been disrupted, and heaven and earth grieve together. Since the Witch Race has decided to return to order, there is no reason for us to stand aside."
not to mention..."
He paused, a hint of lingering fear flashing in his eyes.
"We have been suppressed here for countless years as the ' Lord of Myriad Voids,' and we know far more about his aura and terror than anyone else in the outside world."
He took a step forward, his voice low and trembling with apprehension:
" Dao Venerable, you must not underestimate it. It is not a simple Chaos Devil God; it is a terrifying existence formed from the Chaos Origin. At the very bottom of this Reincarnation Purgatory, it is almost no longer space, but a void domain formed by its power eroding and assimilating it."
"Its power is formless and intangible, yet it can erode all things. Principle crumble upon its touch, spiritual energy is annihilated upon its touch, and Spiritual Qi, blood, and soul are corroded upon its touch... Even the concept of Hunyuan level being is stripped away and diluted, ultimately returning to nothingness, as if it had never existed."
Di Jiang's tone grew increasingly heavy:
"Back then, when I first entered the Hunyuan Wuji, I wanted to test it out and find the central Dao Seal of the Reincarnation Purgatory. However, I felt unwell after only a few days. If I were to fight it, it would be even more dangerous."
Han Xuanji listened quietly to Di Jiang's description, showing no fear on her face, and nodded:
"Thank you for your frankness, fellow Daoist. This information is indeed valuable."
So you went to the ninth level of the Reincarnation Purgatory to find the forbidden Dao Seal? No wonder you couldn't find it.
What kind person would leave a key in a prisoner's cell?!
Han Xuanji wasn't worried. With the Taiji Diagram and the Chaos Bell, his defenses were maxed out. He just needed to sign in and suppress the opponent. It wasn't that he necessarily wanted to completely eliminate the opponent.
"Since you are aware of the dangers of this place and are also injured, why not provide support from the perimeter, assisting the Heavenly Emperor and the Lord of the Nether Lord in stabilizing reincarnation and preventing further large-scale leakage of the power of nothingness?"
Han Xuanji suggested.
However, Di Jiang shook his head, his eyes resolute:
"Now that I've come this far, there's no reason for me to retreat. Although I fear the environment of that ninth level, it's also the only place I'm familiar with. With me here, I might be able to act as the Dao Venerable's eyes and ears, warning of potential dangers. Besides..."
He clenched his fist, and the space around him trembled slightly.
"My Great Dao, though not as profound as that of the Dao Venerable, has its strengths. Even if I am shattered to pieces, Di Jiang, am willing to lend the Dao Venerable a hand to atone for my past sins."
Seeing how stubborn Di Jiang was, Han Xuanji didn't try to persuade him further.
He's a man of strong emotions, after all.
Han Xuanji remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded slightly:
"In that case, you shall accompany me. Remember, stay close to me and do not act on your own. Obey my commands in all matters."
"I will obey the Dao Venerable's command!"
Di Jiang solemnly responded.
As the two stepped into the Reincarnation Purgatory, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became extremely strange. The original Sha Qi disappeared, replaced by wisps of grayish-white energy. In addition, all the ancient beings imprisoned here had escaped, making the place seem like a completely different place.
It transformed from a purgatory filled with karmic fire and Sha Qi into a desolate and empty space.
The deeper you go, the more eerie and terrifying the environment becomes.
In some places, the intense flames of karma and Sha Qi still linger, while in others, a cold void erodes everything; a cruel balance has been achieved between these two extreme forces.
For Han Xuanji, this perilous environment, which would make even Hunyuan Primordial Chaos turn pale, had no effect on him whatsoever.
A faint Daoist aura flowed around him, and wherever he passed, the flames of sin retreated, and nothingness remained untouched.
