After all, as far as he knew, the Heavenly Emperor, as the Immortal Ancestor, was also a veteran of the Immortal Realm and should have witnessed the Immortal Ancestor's presence.
" Immortal Ancestor?"
The Heavenly Emperor was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this, but he still revealed what he knew:
"Fellow Daoist Han, why... why would you mention the Immortal Ancestor? The Immortal Ancestor was the progenitor who created the Immortal Realm. He went to seek the path to transcendence countless years ago, and no one knows his whereabouts. However, as far as I know, the Immortal Ancestor may have already successfully transcended."
"Successful? No, he didn't succeed."
Han Xuanji shook his head, rejecting the Heavenly Emperor's guess, and then thought of the other party's simulated experience:
"On the contrary, they didn't end up in a good situation."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor shuddered violently, nearly dropping the wine cup from his hand, and his pupils contracted sharply.
His tone was urgent, and his eyes were full of doubt:
"Fellow Daoist Han, do you perhaps know the whereabouts of the Immortal Ancestor? This... how is this possible?"
For the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Ancestor is a figure of faith. He created the Immortal Realm, nurtured Immortal Realm beings, and is the supreme ancestor in the hearts of many cultivators in the Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Emperor heard the legend of the Immortal Ancestor from Immortal Ancestor and also received guidance from him.
But she never imagined that one day she would hear news about the Immortal Ancestor from Han Xuanji.
Unfortunately, this is bad news.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, his tone calm yet tinged with a hint of heaviness:
" The Immortal Ancestor did indeed transcend the mundane world back then, and did not perish. Instead, he was harmed by the Chaos Will and is now trapped in the Chaos River of Spacetime, unable to escape."
" The Chaos Will? So that's how it is..."
The Heavenly Emperor's expression showed even greater shock. He did not question Han Xuanji's statement, but rather confirmed some of his previous assumptions:
"In that case, some things do make sense."
"Rumor has it that the Chaos Will will hinder the transcendence of Chaos beings and will periodically restart Chaos, ushering in a new era of Hunyuan —a great purge that severs the path to transcendence for all living beings."
"That's right."
Han Xuanji also confirmed this statement.
After all, this was the future he had seen with his own eyes in the simulator.
When Chaos restarts, even the Wuji World will be destroyed; only the strongest beings of the Hunyuan Wuji can survive.
Therefore, Han Xuanji's statement that all Hunyuan under the Hunyuan realm are ants is not entirely wrong.
The Heavenly Emperor composed himself, forcibly suppressing his thoughts, and slowly said:
"Fellow Daoist Han, since you know the whereabouts of the Immortal Ancestor, you must also have a way to save him! Please save the Immortal Ancestor! The Immortal Ancestor is definitely not an enemy of the Immortal Realm. He created the Immortal Realm not to seize power, but to nurture more powerful beings. Even if someone surpasses him, he will not be displeased in the slightest."
Seeing the Heavenly Emperor's anxious appearance, Han Xuanji understood— the Heavenly Emperor's awe and reverence for the Immortal Ancestor was not feigned, but came from the bottom of his heart.
In the mythology of the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Ancestor are all praised and lauded, with no scandals about them.
Han Xuanji nodded slowly, her tone softening as she comforted him:
"You don't need to be in such a hurry. Now that I've told you about this, I have a way."
The Great Dao Pagoda is a supreme treasure nurtured by the Sea of Great Dao Origins, possessing the ability to travel through time and space. Furthermore, he possesses the [ Eternal Dao Heart ], and his spiritual realm has transcended the Hunyuan Wuji. He can freely travel through the River of Spacetime, and nothing can stop him.
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's face instantly lit up with wild joy, and he quickly said:
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Han! If we can rescue the Immortal Ancestor, our Immortal Realm will have another powerful backer."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, picked up the jade cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Let's leave this matter as it is for now. I will handle the matter of rescuing the Immortal Ancestor. However, you must not let this matter leak out, lest it cause unnecessary turmoil."
"Of course."
The Heavenly Emperor responded respectfully, naturally understanding the gravity of the matter.
At the same time, one has to admire Han Xuanji; it turns out that everything was under the other party's control.
If we can rescue the Immortal Ancestor, then the threat posed by the Devil Ancestor will be nothing to fear.
With Han Xuanji and the Immortal Ancestor present, who would dare to invade?
Thinking of this, even the Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but indulge in daydreams.
Then he can more peacefully relinquish his position as Heavenly Emperor and enjoy life.
After the two finished their conversation, the banquet in the hall continued to be lively. Although the gods and Heavenly Immortal were curious about the two whispering to each other, none of them dared to disturb them.
Time passed slowly.
As the celestial music faded, the Peach of Immortality Banquet in the High Heaven Hall finally came to an end.
The Peach of Immortality on the table were almost gone, and the rich aroma of the immortal wine lingered. However, the gods and Heavenly Immortal had long lost their initial joy, each harboring their own thoughts and displaying different expressions.
Those powerful figures who had previously coveted the secrets of the Dao Ancestor were now filled with awe after Han Xuanji's suppression of the Lord of Great Yi. They only wanted to leave the High Heaven Hall as soon as possible, suppress all their disloyalty, and focus on their cultivation in seclusion.
Faced with absolute power, any ambition seems utterly insignificant, and they fear that the slightest misstep could lead them to the same fate as the Lord of Great Yi.
Several powerful Chaos Rogue Cultivator who had come from the Chaos Realm also appeared, their expressions solemn as they whispered about Han Xuanji's terrifying combat power. Some secretly rejoiced that they had not rashly sided with the Devil Ancestor and had already decided to retreat completely, wanting only to return to the depths of the Chaos Realm as soon as possible, far away from this place of trouble in the Immortal Realm.
The emperors and celestial officials of the Heavenly Court were filled with relief and awe. Han Xuanji's actions today had completely reassured the Immortal Realm. They no longer needed to worry day and night about the Devil Ancestor's attack. Their respect for Han Xuanji had surpassed their awe for the Heavenly Emperor.
Many young celestial officials were filled with admiration and secretly resolved to dedicate themselves to cultivation in the future. If given the opportunity, they would definitely join the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace and follow Han Xuanji.
The Heavenly Emperor, with a broad smile, saw off the immortals and gods while exchanging pleasantries with them, his relaxed demeanor evident in his expression.
Han Xuanji agreed to rescue the Immortal Ancestor, and with Lin Feng proving to be of great use, he would be able to relinquish his position as Heavenly Emperor and pursue the Great Dao in the future.
On the other side.
Han Xuanji and his disciples returned to the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace.
He asked the others to leave first, while he stayed with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was still somewhat excited at this moment.
Lin Feng.
Han Xuanji spoke softly, his voice low.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and spoke in a deferential tone:
"Disciple is here, Master."
Han Xuanji looked at him, her expression calm, her eyes filled with expectation:
"You do indeed have the potential to rule the Immortal Realm, and you are a disciple I value."
But you are currently only Hunyuan One Qi Daluo Golden Immortal; that's not enough to rule the Immortal Realm."
After all, the Immortal Realm now is not like it was when he was imitating Lin Feng; it is now in its golden age, and it wouldn't work if the Heavenly Emperor were too weak.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart and quickly replied:
"Disciple understands. Disciple will devote himself to cultivation and will never fail Master's expectations."
"Determination alone is not enough; fortuitous opportunity is also indispensable."
Han Xuanji said calmly:
"You can also go out more; I doubt any fools would dare to mess with you."
