"It seems you are unaware of this news. Something has happened to the Soul Household, and they may no longer be able to offer you suitable treatment."
After speaking, True God Black Rock put down his teacup and looked at Han Xuanji with a smile:
"Young friend Han, after learning this news, will you still stick to your original decision and insist on Soul Household?"
In the story that Han Xuanji deliberately fabricated, it was roughly that Han Xuanji was someone trained by the Soul Household, but he left the Soul Household to train for a long time, and now that he has broken through to the Eternal Dao Master level, he plans to go back.
On the Primordial Sea, apart from large warships like this, it is impossible to receive messages from the Eternal Continent.
"Something happened?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes. He hadn't expected such a turn of events. He hesitated for a moment, his heart skipping a beat.
"May I ask True God, is it that the Sage of the Soul Household who has encountered this problem?"
Han Xuanji could only think that something might have happened to the pillar of the Soul Household.
True God Black Rock didn't speak directly, but simply nodded slowly in response.
" The Soul Household... how are they?"
Han Xuanji asked cautiously again.
"There shouldn't be any problems in the short term, after all, it's a subordinate force of the Sacred Court, but it's hard to say what will happen in the long run."
After pondering for a moment, True God Black Rock gave an answer.
Han Xuanji nodded, having figured it out as well.
Clearly, even if the Soul Household weakens, it won't collapse anytime soon, since it still has powerful backers within the Sacred Court. However, when the Soul Household no longer has sufficient value, these connections will inevitably disappear one day.
However, Han Xuanji's focus was not on that. It seemed that the Soul Household was not going to be wiped out, so there should be no danger. It was just that they could not provide him with many resources.
And Han Xuanji, unfortunately, doesn't need anyone else's resources.
That being said...
In the eyes of the True God Black Rock, the Soul Household must have nurtured him greatly to achieve such success.
Now that the Soul Household can't offer any more, is he just going to leave like this?
His public image will collapse immediately...
Han Xuanji quickly realized that this was actually a test, and answered firmly:
"Thank you for your kindness, senior, and thank you for informing me of this matter."
"However, I must say I cannot accept your invitation, senior."
"Oh?"
The smile on True God Black Rock's face froze slightly, and he looked somewhat displeased.
"You know the Soul Household is in trouble, yet you still want to go back? You should know that staying by my side would not only allow you to avoid trouble but also provide you with better opportunities. Why wouldn't you choose that?"
Han Xuanji bowed slightly and said slowly:
"It is precisely because I know the Soul Household is in trouble that I should not leave now."
Upon hearing this, True God Black Rock's displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by approval in his eyes, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Not bad, not bad! I was originally thinking that if you heard that the Soul Household was in trouble, you would abandon them without hesitation. Even if you agreed to join the fleet, my evaluation of you would be much lower."
I never expected you to be so loyal and righteous; your character far exceeds my expectations. I had been overthinking things.
True God Black Rock paused, then sighed and said:
"I can also tell you the truth: although the Soul Household has declined somewhat, a high-ranking figure in the Sacred Court has chosen to support Soul Household. You won't have any problems even if you go back."
Talented people are easy to find, but those who are loyal, righteous, and true to their principles are rare. Even if one cannot win Han Xuanji over, he is still worth befriending.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly and said nothing more.
This was pretty much what he had guessed.
Seeing Han Xuanji's silent expression, True God Black Rock smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I won't force you. Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to stop you."
Just remember, if you encounter any problems you can't solve in the Soul Household in the future, or if you change your mind, you can always come to me. I will still welcome you to join the Black Rock Fleet."
"Thank you for your understanding and kindness, senior. I will always remember it."
Han Xuanji bowed and thanked him.
It must be said that True God Black Rock is a straightforward person, and I am also grateful for the resources provided by the other party during this period.
What might be a casual matter for an Eternal True God is actually quite helpful to him now.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and the True God Black Rock also secretly gave Han Xuanji a few pointers, all of which were heartfelt.
Afterwards, Han Xuanji got up to take his leave. True God Black Rock instructed Hui Feng to make proper arrangements for Han Xuanji and Hun Qianling's itinerary after the warship arrived at the border of the Eternal Continent, and to ensure that the two of them disembarked safely.
Han Xuanji walked out of the captain's lounge, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
The news that the pillar of the Soul Household had encountered an accident was beyond his expectations. It seems that he will need to be more careful and cautious after arriving at the Soul Household.
Back in the cultivation room, Hun Qianling had been waiting for him at the door for a long time.
Seeing Han Xuanji return, he showed no expression on his face, but felt somewhat worried.
Seeing the other party's somewhat nervous appearance, Han Xuanji thought for a moment and decided not to reveal the news yet. Instead, he smiled and said:
"It's nothing, it's just that we can ask him for help if we need anything, so it's like we've made the acquaintance of a very important person."
Upon hearing this, Hun Qianling nodded:
" True God Black Rock is indeed a good person, and we must never forget this kindness."
"Well, we'll discuss the rest in detail once we get to the Eternal Continent."
Han Xuanji nodded gently as he looked at her delighted expression, but a hint of seriousness was hidden in his eyes.
He did not immediately inform Soul Household, fearing it would spoil her joy of returning home.
Several days later, the warship finally arrived at the border of the Eternal Continent, slowed down completely, and gently docked at the border port.
Upon receiving the message from Hui Feng Han Xuanji, Han Xuanji and Hun Qianling prepared to disembark.
The two quickly walked out of the training room and found that a number of fleet cultivators had already gathered in the warship's public area. Everyone's faces were full of excitement and anticipation, and discussions were rising and falling.
Everyone who successfully hunts down the Hongmeng Giant Kun will receive a substantial reward, and many are already imagining how they will spend this income.
Some people planned to save the money and spend it later, while others intended to use it to buy treasures to improve their cultivation...
Soon, the warship landed, and the two disembarked with the others.
Han Xuanji followed Hun Qianling's gaze and saw a magnificent city standing outside. The city walls soared into the clouds and were made of crystal containing Power of Eternity. A faint halo surrounded the city. People were bustling at the city gate, including returning cultivators and traveling merchants. It was a lively scene.
In the distance, on the horizon, lies the vast and boundless heart of the Eternal Continent, shrouded in mist, where one can vaguely see the undulating sacred mountains, holy and solemn.
A slight ripple stirred within Han Xuanji's heart.
He could clearly sense that the rules of this continent were extremely stable, just like in the Primordial Sea, and its Principle of heaven and earth were far more profound and unfathomable than those in the Chaos.
"If I had come to the Eternal Continent when I was at the Primordial Hunyuan Wuji Realm, I estimate I would have already broken through to the Eternal Dao Master."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
Below the Hunyuan Wuji, cultivation is easier in the Chaos, but those at the Hunyuan Wuji are actually more suited to enlightenment and cultivation on the Eternal Continent.
Suddenly, the system's voice rang in Han Xuanji's mind.
