Nourished by the pure power transferred by Han Xuanji, the Immortal Ancestor's originally weak aura became more abundant, and his originally pale face gradually regained its color.
He slowly stood up, his posture as upright as a pine tree, no longer as weak as before. He subconsciously stretched his muscles and bones, and a series of slight cracking sounds came from his joints. The stagnation that had accumulated for countless years instantly dissipated, and he became much more energetic.
This was naturally thanks to Han Xuanji. In fact, this power mainly soothed the Immortal Ancestor's mind and restored his spirit.
Taking advantage of this moment, Han Xuanji silently called upon the system in his mind and began to sign in.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " The End of Chaos Spacetime " and obtained " Spacetime Origin ".]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " The End of Chaos Spacetime " and obtained the Great Dao Sacred Artifact " Key of Spacetime ".]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " The End of Chaos Spacetime " and have obtained a " Spacetime Raw Stone ".]
A series of system notifications rang in my mind.
Han Xuanji didn't bother to examine the system rewards closely. At this moment, the Immortal Ancestor slowly calmed his excitement, his gaze fixed on Han Xuanji, his eyes filled with approval, yet also tinged with worry.
"Child, you broke through the forbidden zone set up by the Chaos Will. Did you disturb the Chaos Will?"
He paused, his tone growing increasingly grave. "Although you are powerful, the Chaos Will is Chaos itself. If you provoke it, you'll likely be in deep trouble, and it might even implicate the Immortal Realm!"
The Immortal Ancestor was filled with guilt. He did not want this rare genius of the Immortal Realm to be in danger because of him, nor did he want to see the Immortal Realm suffer a catastrophe because of him.
At this moment, Han Xuanji also carefully observed the appearance of the Immortal Ancestor. The other party looked much younger at this time, with a slender figure, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and distinct facial features. At first glance, he inspired awe and left a deep impression.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji's lips curled into a faint smile, and he spoke calmly and reassuringly:
" Your Immortal Ancestor, there is no need to worry. I know what I'm doing. Although that Chaos Will is powerful, it also consumed a great deal of its own power to seal you. It is now in a deep slumber and will not be able to awaken in the short term."
"If it hadn't been dormant, the Dao Ancestor wouldn't have been able to transcend Chaos so easily back then."
Han Xuanji continued, her tone becoming increasingly certain:
"Senior, please rest assured, I will definitely rescue you safely and bring you back to the Immortal Realm."
Upon hearing this, the worry in the Immortal Ancestor's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a sense of relief and shock.
"I see... The Dao Ancestor you mentioned, it seems, is that kid. I didn't expect him to have passed away before me."
His gaze toward Han Xuanji grew increasingly approving. "Excellent, excellent! With both heaven-defying strength and a calm mind, the Immortal Realm will surely survive peacefully with you here."
Han Xuanji bowed slightly and said, "Senior, you flatter me. I have only done my best. The most urgent matter now is to take you away from here and back to the Immortal Realm, so that we can discuss how to jointly resist the future Chaos Crisis."
"Good."
The Immortal Ancestor nodded repeatedly, knowing it would be better to change the location of their conversation.
He had been trapped in this Chaos era for countless ages, and now he finally had the opportunity to return to the Immortal Realm. The excitement in his heart was indescribable.
Han Xuanji said no more, raised his hand and waved, and the Great Dao Pagoda appeared, radiating a gentle yet powerful force that enveloped him and the Immortal Ancestor.
"Senior, hold on tight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xuanji activated his power, and a golden stream of light enveloped the two of them, traversing through the forbidden space-time domain. They quickly left this place at the end of space-time and arrived at the River of Spacetime.
Some ancient beings, unable to resist observing the activity here, also saw the Great Dao Pagoda but dared not look at it for too long, for fear of attracting trouble.
Han Xuanji naturally wouldn't make things difficult for these people, so he led the Immortal Ancestor and sped towards the Immortal Realm.
In the blink of an eye, within just a few breaths, the two had already arrived at the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven of the Immortal Realm, the Mystic Heaven Dao Domain.
Looking down, the Immortal Ancestor saw a vast continent with continuous immortal mountains, swirling clouds and mist, and flowing Daoist energy, a scene of great prosperity, which contrasted sharply with the desolate emptiness at the end of time and space where he was.
The Immortal Ancestor gazed at this familiar yet unfamiliar land, his eyes filled with emotion, his fingertips trembling slightly, his heart overflowing with mixed feelings—this was the Immortal Realm he had personally created, which, after countless years, was still full of vitality.
Han Xuanji, accompanied by the Immortal Ancestor, flew straight towards the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace.
The Mystic Heaven Dao Palace is located at the top of the Mystic Heaven Continent, built against the mountain. The Dragon Blood Black-Yellow Tree is extremely majestic, and the jade palaces and pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner. The faint phantoms of dragons and phoenixes can be seen circling around, creating a magnificent and ever-changing scene.
Along the way, palace disciples moved about, all with solemn expressions, focused on their cultivation, presenting an orderly and disciplined scene.
The ancient creatures that Han Xuanji had previously subdued gradually integrated into the group, each having their own territory, and occasionally disciples could be seen interacting with them.
After the initial surprise, the disciples of the Dao Palace became familiar with these ancient beasts. Although they looked fierce, they were actually quite easy to talk to.
Upon entering the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace, the Immortal Ancestor's gaze swept over the surroundings. Looking at the layout of the palace and the disciples cultivating there, he nodded approvingly.
"What a magnificent Mystic Heaven Dao Palace! Its layout is exquisite, its Spiritual Qi abundant, and its disciples are all full of vigor and have a solid foundation. It seems you have a very effective method for teaching your disciples, which is truly rare."
Han Xuanji smiled and nodded, "Senior is too kind. It is all due to the disciples' own diligence, coupled with the blessing of the Immortal Realm, that we have achieved our current success."
The two walked side by side. Many disciples of the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace stopped in their tracks, bowed respectfully, and spoke with utmost deference.
"Greetings, Master! Greetings, Senior!"
Although they did not recognize the Immortal Ancestor, they could still sense the vast, majestic, and awe-inspiring aura emanating from Immortal Ancestor. However, amidst this aura, they also felt a sense of goodwill, knowing that this person was no ordinary individual, and therefore dared not show the slightest negligence.
Looking at these respectful, polite, and energetic disciples, the Immortal Ancestor's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, and he sighed softly:
Time flies, and years pass quickly. I never imagined that after being trapped for countless years, the Immortal Realm would have nurtured so many talented young people.
When I established the Immortal Realm, it was also to cultivate more like-minded people. Now it seems that my wish has finally been fulfilled...
As he spoke, the Immortal Ancestor's tone carried a hint of melancholy, and a trace of barely perceptible regret—he had missed countless years of growth in the Immortal Realm in his pursuit of transcendence, and it was something he regretted.
Upon arriving at the Mystic Heaven Hall, they found only Han Xuanji and the Immortal Ancestor inside.
Only then did the Immortal Ancestor truly feel relieved.
It seems that the Chaos Will has indeed fallen into slumber, unaware that it has already escaped.
After thinking for a moment, the Immortal Ancestor looked at Han Xuanji with earnest eyes:
"I am trapped at the end of time and space, unaware of the passage of time in the outside world, and even more unaware of what has happened in the Immortal Realm over the years."
Tell me properly, what changes has the Immortal Realm undergone over the years? You rescued this old man from the dead; surely there's something you need me for, right?
