At this moment, dozens of fist-sized Eternal Crystal Stone were neatly arranged around Han Xuanji. The crystals were translucent and contained a rich flow of Power of Eternity, like small energy sources.
His eyes were closed, his expression solemn, and a faint halo enveloped his entire being.
The eternal array in the cultivation room was operating at full capacity, and the Qi of Eternity from the outside world surged in like a tide, intertwining with the power released by the Eternal Crystal Stone and the energy transmitted by the Chaos Azure Lotus, converging into a magnificent torrent of energy that slowly flowed into Han Xuanji's body.
The accumulation of experience over the years has already solidified Han Xuanji's cultivation at the peak of the Eternal Dao Master Second Layer, leaving him only one step away from breaking through.
At this moment, he abandoned all distracting thoughts, focused his mind on his body, and guided this vast energy with all his might to break through the shackles of the Eternal Dao Master Third Layer.
A torrent of energy surged within him, but Han Xuanji remained focused and unwavering.
Soon, the Chaos Azure Lotus beneath him became increasingly dazzling, the golden light on its petals grew more intense, while the surrounding Eternal Crystal Stone gradually dimmed, and the Power of Eternity within them was completely drawn out and merged into Han Xuanji's body, becoming an aid to his breakthrough.
"Buzz--"
A deep hum emanated from Han Xuanji's body, causing a subtle distortion in the surrounding space, and a powerful aura enveloped the entire cultivation room.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Xuanji slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in them before he regained his composure.
He slowly raised his hand, a wisp of pure Power of Eternity swirling around his fingertips. With a gentle flick, that power transformed into a stream of light, striking a stone pillar in the distance. This stone pillar was actually a precision force measuring instrument used specifically to test strength. At this moment, the stone pillar left only a tiny yet profound mark, followed by the appearance of a clear number.
"Good."
Han Xuanji nodded. Originally, even using most of his strength, he could only barely reach this level.
Now, with a casual strike, without using much power, he can achieve the same result as before.
This is the strength of the Eternal Dao Master Third Layer; both his control and explosive power have increased several times over compared to before.
Han Xuanji slowly rose to his feet. The Chaos Azure Lotus beneath him gradually dimmed its light, transforming back into a small green Azure Lotus that hovered in his palm, trembling slightly as if it were rejoicing for him.
The surrounding Eternal Crystal Stone had completely dimmed, losing all their energy.
"Finally, a breakthrough!"
Han Xuanji murmured softly, a faint smile appearing on her face.
His years of dedicated cultivation have finally paid off. Breaking through to the third level not only greatly enhanced his own strength, but he could also clearly feel that his control over the Dao of Time and Space and the Dao of Destiny had become more and more proficient. If he were to try to condense the Reincarnation Dao Principle again, he would probably be able to do so much more smoothly than before.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the cultivation room, and Hun Qianling's clear voice rang out:
" Xuanji, have you finished your cultivation? I feel a lot of fluctuation in your aura. Did you break through?"
Han Xuanji raised his hand to put away the Chaos Azure Lotus and said with a smile:
"Come in, you've only recently broken through."
Hun Qianling pushed open the door and entered. She immediately sensed Han Xuanji's even more powerful aura. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly stepped forward.
" The Eternal Dao Master Second Layer? That's too fast!"
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, offering no rebuttal, her tone indifferent:
"It's simply a matter of accumulating enough experience and seizing the right opportunity. You've also been quite diligent in your cultivation lately, and your cultivation level has improved considerably."
He could sense that Hun Qianling had also broken through, reaching the Eternal Dao Master Second Layer.
The speed at which the opponent can modify the Dao of Principle is remarkable; it seems their years of accumulation in the Chaos have not been in vain.
Hun Qianling smiled and said:
"Thanks to the resources provided by True God Black Rock, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to progress so quickly."
"Oh, right, we'll be arriving at the Eternal Continent in a few days. Also, the True God Black Rock asked me to invite you to meet him; he seems to have something to say to you."
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji's eyes flashed with understanding, and he nodded slightly.
"Okay, I understand."
He had seen the True God Black Rock's kindness and preferential treatment these days, and had a premonition that the other party would contact him, but he did not expect it to be just before arriving at the Eternal Continent.
Han Xuanji suppressed his thoughts, stood up, straightened his robes, and headed to the captain's lounge.
Next to the captain's lounge is also a lounge for many senior fleet members.
True God Black Rock had clearly given prior notice, and the arrival of his men was not unexpected for many of the fleet's senior members.
One of the middle-aged men even enthusiastically led Han Xuanji to the place and greeted him warmly.
Han Xuanji felt somewhat helpless; these people seemed to think he would definitely stay in the Black Rock Fleet?
Upon arriving at the captain's lounge, before Han Xuanji could even raise his hand to lightly knock on the door, the gentle voice of True God Black Rock came from inside:
"Come in."
The door opened by itself, and an Qi of Eternity far more abundant and pure than that of the cultivation room rushed out, instantly enveloping Han Xuanji's body, causing the Dao Principles throughout his body to involuntarily expand slightly.
The lounge was spacious and elegant, with simple yet stylish furnishings. It was surrounded by a soundproof array, making it quiet and serene, a stark contrast to the bustling activity of the warships outside. Clearly, this was where the True God Black Rock usually cultivated himself, sought enlightenment, and handled affairs.
At this moment, the True God Black Rock was sitting in the main seat, seemingly handling some business. Upon seeing Han Xuanji enter, he put down his pen, smiled, and raised his hand in greeting:
"Young friend Han, please have a seat."
Han Xuanji bowed respectfully, walked slowly to a chair to the side, sat down, his expression calm, and waited for the True God Black Rock to speak.
True God Black Rock took a sip of spiritual tea and spoke first, exchanging pleasantries:
"Young friend Han has been diligent in his cultivation over the past thirty years. Has he made another breakthrough?"
"It is entirely thanks to the True God favor that I have been able to achieve this, with ample resources and a superior environment for cultivation."
Han Xuanji responded humbly, her tone filled with gratitude.
True God Black Rock nodded in satisfaction and, without beating around the bush, went straight to the point:
"Young friend Han, I have summoned you here today to discuss something with you."
You are exceptionally talented, of good character, and have great potential.
I hope you can join my Black Rock Fleet and stay by my side to cultivate. Although I do not cultivate the Dao of Principle, there are experts in my fleet who cultivate the Dao of Principle and can guide your cultivation on a regular basis.
If you perform exceptionally well, I can even introduce you to the truly important figures of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce, allowing you to access better resources and fortuitous opportunity.
True God Black Rock spoke these words with utmost sincerity, his eyes filled with expectation.
He did value Han Xuanji's talent and wanted to bring this young man with immense potential under his wing, both to strengthen his own position and to recruit talent for the Eternal Chamber of Commerce.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. He had already prepared himself and was about to politely refuse.
At this moment, True God Black Rock spoke again, his tone carrying a deeper meaning:
"Before you refuse, I have something to tell you."
You might want to listen before you decide.
"Um?"
Han Xuanji looked up, somewhat puzzled.
