The power ranking system in Thousand Souls City is relatively simple. Normally, if there is a cultivator at the level of an Eternal True God, it can become a third-rate power. If there is no Eternal True God, it can only become an insignificant power, and some of its powerful cultivators might disappear during their seclusion.
For example, the Five Elements Pavilion has a powerful Eternal True God in charge, and with the Dao essence and inheritance left by the Five Elements Pavilion Master, it can basically maintain a stable presence of Eternal True God in charge, thus occupying a place in Thousand Souls City and being considered a second-rate force.
As for first-class forces, they must have at least five Eternal True God in charge. Such forces are few and far between in Thousand Souls City. The Soul Household has a profound foundation. Even though it has declined somewhat, it is still the top-tier force among first-class forces. This is the power of the inheritance of Sage, which is incomparable to ordinary forces.
" The Five Elements Pavilion is merely a second-rate power. With the Soul Household's connections, entering its core area shouldn't be difficult, and the other places are similar. Only the Creation Platform is occupied by the Tiger and Panther Legion in the city, and the Tiger and Panther Legion's relationship with the Soul Household is so-so. Entering it will come at a considerable price."
After Han Xuanji locked onto his target, he did not immediately head to the Five Elements Pavilion.
He knew that he had just condensed the Star Dao Principle and his cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth level of the Eternal Dao Master, only one step away from breaking through to the fifth level. Moreover, he still had a large number of rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures obtained from the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven sign-in. Rather than rushing to the Five Elements Pavilion, it would be better to go into seclusion for a period of time. On the one hand, he could accumulate enough Eternal Point Count, and on the other hand, he could use the treasures to break through his realm, so as to prepare for the subsequent comprehension of the Five Elements Dao Principle and deal with any unexpected events that might occur during the sign-in.
Having made up his mind, Han Xuanji instructed Hun Qianling to gather more similar information and help him build connections, as he planned to go after he emerged from seclusion.
The message jade talisman received a response almost instantly. Hun Qianling's voice was light and cheerful, her tone full of cheerfulness and without the slightest hesitation:
"Alright, leave this to me! You can focus on your seclusion without worry. I'll keep an eye out for intelligence, and I'll also work on establishing connections with the Five Elements Pavilion as soon as possible to ensure you can enter smoothly once you emerge from seclusion. I won't delay your plans at all."
Hun Qianling was always willing to grant Han Xuanji's requests.
She had already decided that Han Xuanji was hiding something, and perhaps one day she would make a name for herself.
Of course, she didn't tell anyone this secret, not even her good older brother Hun Qianxue.
After a pause, Hun Qianling's tone became more concerned, tinged with a cautious inquiry, as if afraid her good intentions would be rejected:
"By the way, Xuanji, have you made a breakthrough recently?"
I still have a considerable amount of Lineage contribution points, which can be exchanged for a lot of Cultivation Resources. If you need them, I'll send them to you immediately. Don't hesitate to ask!
In her mind, she thought that Han Xuanji had just entered the realm of Eternal Dao Master and needed a lot of resources, so she was afraid that he would be too embarrassed to ask for help.
"No need. I've just broken through a minor realm and plan to consolidate my strength first."
Han Xuanji spoke the truth, and then said seriously:
"You don't need to worry about me. If you have any needs, take care of yourself first, or I might leave you too far behind."
Upon hearing this, Hun Qianling couldn't help but chuckle softly, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness and a touch of Qi Ingestion:
"Hehe, don't underestimate me! My older brother recently gave me a lot of rare Cultivation Resources, I can't even use them all. Maybe by the time you come out of seclusion, I'll have left you far behind!"
Though she said this, her heart was warmed. She knew Han Xuanji was thinking of her, so she stopped insisting on sending resources and simply added softly:
"Then you should cultivate diligently during your seclusion. If you need anything, just send me a message, and I'll be there whenever you call."
As soon as Hun Qianling finished speaking, Han Xuanji felt a warmth coming from the other end.
Given the other person's status, such thoughtfulness is truly rare.
Han Xuanji paused, then joked:
"Don't let running errands for me interfere with your cultivation, or I'll become a sinner."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Hun Qianling chuckled and said:
"I manage quite a few things under my command, and I don't need to do many things myself. Besides, my brother said that I should go out more and make friends with some promising like-minded people, which is more useful than burying myself in my studies."
Just consider this an excuse for me to go out, so I don't get nagged about it every day.
Han Xuanji understood the meaning behind her words and knew what she meant.
The rules and interpersonal relationships within the Soul Household are probably more complex than those outside.
"Alright, then so be it."
Han Xuanji said no more, but solemnly said:
"I won't let you down when I emerge from seclusion."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by Hun Qianling's slightly teasing voice:
"Oh, are you just making empty promises? Fine, I'll wait. Just don't end up not being able to beat a single person in the Principle Conference, that would be incredibly embarrassing."
Before he finished speaking, the light of the communication jade talisman dimmed.
The girl ran away as soon as she finished speaking, clearly not giving Han Xuanji a chance to retaliate.
Han Xuanji shook his head and chuckled, carefully putting away the jade talisman before retreating into seclusion to cultivate diligently once more.
This time, he no longer deliberately pursued the condensation of new Eternal Dao Principle, but instead focused on improving his cultivation and absorbing energy.
The star-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures he obtained from signing in at the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven contain extremely pure energy. With the assistance of the " Star Soul Secret Canon," he can efficiently convert the star power within into his own cultivation. Coupled with his own strong physique, he doesn't have to worry about the energy being too violent and damaging his Dao foundation.
"Break through first, then go to the Five Elements Pavilion."
Han Xuanji made up her mind and sat cross-legged.
Beneath him, the Chaos Azure Lotus also inhaled the rich Eternal Spiritual Qi around it, and could even absorb the power of the stars.
To this end, Han Xuanji specially placed a piece of Moonlight Stone on it to help the Chaos Azure Lotus grow faster.
On the other end, after ending the call, Hun Qianling's smile gradually faded.
She leaned against the soft couch, her gaze fixed on the view outside the window, lost in thought. After a long while, she sighed softly.
"No resources needed... This guy really has a lot of secrets up his sleeve."
She wasn't unaware of the subtle details in Han Xuanji's words.
Having just entered the Dao Master realm, how could he possibly feel he had enough resources? Besides, Han Xuanji had no acquaintances on the Eternal Continent and had never left, so where would he get enough resources...?
"But who doesn't have secrets?"
Hun Qianling shook her head, suppressing her curiosity, and began to take action, contacting the experts of the Five Elements Pavilion.
Time slipped away quietly as I devoted myself to my studies. Day after day, year after year, three years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a powerful aura far exceeding anything seen before suddenly erupted from the cultivation chamber of the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven. Dense star power and Eternal Spiritual Qi intertwined and surged straight to the dome, causing the entire cave abode to tremble slightly.
Han Xuanji was surrounded by dazzling starlight, his eyes shimmered with silver light, and his aura was calm and profound, indicating that he had broken through to the Eternal Dao Master Fifth Layer realm.
