Back in his cave abode, Han Xuanji sat on the bed in the cultivation room, lost in thought.
He already knew that he was being watched by some people.
It's not for any other reason, but rather that his existence gave certain people an excuse.
Perhaps even Hun Qianling didn't discover this, since in the other party's view, it was reasonable for Han Xuanji to receive such treatment given his talent.
But many people think he is not worthy at all, and this could even shake Hun Qianxue's position.
"We could discuss this with Hun Qianling; perhaps we can use this as a pretext..."
Han Xuanji pondered to himself, then summarized his findings and sent them to Hun Qianling.
After receiving the message, the other party responded quickly, saying that she would discuss the matter with Hun Qianxue immediately and that he should not worry.
Upon seeing this reply, Han Xuanji stopped thinking about it and continued cultivating.
Strength is the key; with his current strength, participating in these schemes would only make him a pawn.
"Hurry up and condense the fourth Eternal Dao Principle, then break through to a higher realm..."
Han Xuanji finally understood why not many people on the Eternal Continent cultivated the Dao of Principle.
If he wants to break through a minor realm, he must condense a completely new Eternal Dao Principle.
Han Xuanji did not intend to condense any Principle randomly, but instead chose the one he was most familiar with and that was powerful.
With this in mind, Han Xuanji began to use his S-Rank Talent privileges to exchange his quota for resources in this area.
Since he had this authority, he never hesitated to use it.
Not long after, Han Xuanji heard light footsteps outside, accompanied by a respectful female voice:
"My lord, the Cultivation Resources you exchanged have been delivered. Please check them."
A hint of anticipation flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes. He got up and walked to the entrance of the cave abode. When he opened the door, he saw a maid from the Soul Household holding an ancient jade box. The jade box was surrounded by a faint spiritual light, obviously used to isolate the aura and protect the treasure inside.
He took the jade box, and the moment his fingertips touched it, he could vaguely sense a peculiar aura. It was completely different from the purity of ordinary Cultivation Resources, radiating an aura unique to the laws of Reincarnation Principle.
"Thanks a lot."
Han Xuanji spoke calmly, waved for the maid to leave, then closed the cave abode door and quickly returned to his cultivation room, carefully placing the jade box on the stone table in front of him.
He took a deep breath and slowly opened the jade box. A fist-sized, dark gray stone with fine patterns on its surface came into view.
This object is called the Lesser Reincarnation Stone. On its surface, the energies of life and death intertwine and entwine, and a faint light that can be seen with the naked eye flows between the patterns. Even just looking at it, one can feel a sense of vastness and weight.
Han Xuanji lightly touched the Lesser Reincarnation Stone with his fingertips, and a cool yet profound aura instantly flowed into his body through his fingertips, nourishing his Dao foundation.
Clearly, this Lesser Reincarnation Stone was a key aid in his condensation of the Eternal Reincarnation Dao Principle.
"Indeed, this is a specialty product from the Realm of Life and Death Domain on the Eternal Continent?"
A glint of light flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes; he was very satisfied with this item.
The Eternal Continent is said to have three thousand great domains, each with its own unique products. These rare stones come from the Life and Death Domain of the Eternal Continent and are suitable for cultivators who study the Dao of Principle Reincarnation Dao Principle.
"With this, the condensation of the Reincarnation Dao Principle should be secure."
Han Xuanji didn't rush to comprehend this thing. Instead, he closed his cave abode and sent a message to Hun Qianling, saying that he was going into seclusion and should not be disturbed unless it was something important.
After sending the message, he finally calmed down and devoted all his attention to cultivation, thus beginning a long period of seclusion.
Time passed.
Han Xuanji remained seated on the bed, his eyes closed, his expression calm, his aura steady and profound. With each breath, a vast amount of Eternal Spiritual Qi surged into his body, nourishing his foundation and refining his cultivation.
He placed the Lesser Reincarnation Stone in his palm, and the stone's special power slowly seeped into his body, merging with his soul and subtly helping him comprehend the mysteries of the Reincarnation Dao Principle.
One day, two days, one month, two months...
The Eternal Continent has nine days and nine months, and a single day here is extremely long; spending one day here is equivalent to nine days in the past.
On this day, a faint tremor suddenly arose in the originally quiet cultivation room, not from the outside world, but from within Han Xuanji's body.
"Buzz..."
Han Xuanji's seated body suddenly trembled, and the Spiritual Qi surrounding him instantly boiled up, like waves stirred by a gale, surging wildly into his body. His aura also surged, rising steadily, and instantly reached the peak of the Eternal Dao Master Third Layer, only one step away from breaking through.
"His cultivation has reached its limit."
Han Xuanji slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He then slowly released his right hand, and the Lesser Reincarnation Stone in his palm had become dull and lifeless, and the fine lines on its surface had gradually faded. Clearly, the power contained within it had been completely absorbed by him.
"I have completely absorbed the peculiar power contained within this Lesser Reincarnation Stone..."
Han Xuanji pondered silently, and with a thought, he clearly sensed the passage of time. A look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"And without realizing it, ten years have already passed."
Ten years is but a fleeting moment in the Eternal Continent.
Han Xuanji glanced at the message sent by Hun Qianling when he had a moment. It wasn't anything important. It seemed that someone had impeached him, but it had been suppressed.
"Never mind, let's break through first."
Han Xuanji felt the surging power within his body. With just a slight sense, he discovered that he had reached a certain limit in both his cultivation and his understanding of the Reincarnation Dao Principle.
"Now I can begin to condense the Reincarnation Dao Principle again."
"This time, we absolutely cannot fail."
With a thought in mind, Han Xuanji slowly adjusted his breathing, and the aura around his body gradually became stable, yet increasingly refined. He concentrated his mind, preparing to mobilize all the power within his body to condense the Reincarnation Dao Principle.
