Han Xuanji was also aware that the outside world probably already knew that he had ascended the Five Elements Altar.
At the summit of this Heavenly Ladder, there is interference from the power of Sage, preventing some information from reaching Han Xuanji. However, once he gets out, he probably won't be able to keep a low profile anymore.
At that time, not only will some people from the Five Elements Pavilion come to ask him about it, but the Soul Household will probably also take this matter seriously.
However, it's not entirely a bad thing.
Han Xuanji also knew that being too low-key would put pressure on Hun Qianling and Hun Qianxue, and he couldn't be so selfish.
Perhaps it would be better to showcase one's talents appropriately.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Xiao."
Han Xuanji nodded in agreement and replied.
Xiao Yan's lips curled slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"Brother Han, come with me."
He turned and led the way, pausing almost imperceptibly as he passed a shadowy spot, before continuing on as if nothing had happened.
Han Xuanji followed behind him, her gaze casually sweeping over the surroundings.
There seemed to be no one around.
However, Han Xuanji knew in her heart that Xiao Yan, as the divine son of the Holy Dynasty, could not possibly travel without guards.
The person secretly protecting him was probably always nearby, but he just couldn't detect them due to his cultivation level.
Since we can't detect it, let's pretend we don't know.
Han Xuanji withdrew his gaze, his expression remaining unchanged, but a sense of vigilance had arisen within him.
This is why he didn't want to cultivate here; he dared not reveal too much in front of such a powerful figure.
Befriending Xiao Yan would also provide an additional layer of protection.
During the time Xiao Yan stayed in Thousand Souls City, even if he revealed his talent, not only could the Soul Household protect him, but if he asked Xiao Yan for help, the latter probably wouldn't refuse.
The two slowly walked towards another path at the top of the Heavenly Ladder, arriving at a quiet courtyard.
The courtyard was small, but it was decorated with great elegance. In the middle of the courtyard was a pond with crystal-clear water, where several koi carp swam leisurely. Several unknown Spirit Plant were planted by the pond, emitting a faint fragrance.
"This is where those who successfully climbed the Heavenly Ladder built it back then. It is said that in the past, there were also geniuses who reached the top at the same time, and they admired each other and came here to discuss their skills."
Xiao Yan pushed open the courtyard gate and stepped aside to let Han Xuanji enter first.
Han Xuanji stepped into the courtyard, looked around, and nodded in satisfaction.
"What a wonderful place! Thank you for showing me the way, Brother Xiao."
"You're welcome."
Xiao Yan led him into the courtyard, where they sat down.
The two then started chatting again, their conversation gradually expanding from the Dao of the Five Elements to broader insights into cultivation.
While talking to Xiao Yan, Han Xuanji also secretly called upon the system.
Xiao Yan has immense potential; he is the most talented person I have encountered since arriving on the Eternal Continent. I wonder how many Eternal Point Count it would take to simulate him.
"System, how many Eternal Point Count will it take to simulate Xiao Yan?"
The system notification sounded in his mind very quickly.
[Simulated Target: " Xiao Yan (Divine Son of the Great Sheng Sacred Dynasty, Awakened Saint King Bloodline )", Requires 150,000 Eternal Point Count.]
150,000!
Han Xuanji's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm.
That number is outrageously large.
He has been in the Eternal Continent for so long, and after all his hard work, he has only managed to accumulate a little over a thousand Eternal Point Count, most of which he has already used up.
Simulating Xiao Yan once requires 150,000 points.
"However... this also demonstrates this person's potential."
Han Xuanji pondered to himself.
In fact, after the system upgrade, he also tried to simulate other people.
The simulation function consumes far more resources than the check-in function.
People like Hun Hao and Hun Qianling, direct descendants of the Soul Household, have good talent, and they basically need tens of thousands of Eternal Point Count to simulate their abilities.
Xiao Yan... needs 150,000 points.
From this, Han Xuanji could easily deduce Xiao Yan's future potential.
He felt that the other party was at least a top-tier expert at the Sage Realm Stage, and might even be able to break through to a higher realm.
"But it's no wonder the simulation consumes so much power."
Han Xuanji pondered in his heart.
The Eternal Continent is nothing like the Immortal Realm; the rules of this primordial spacetime are terrifyingly stable.
Let alone predicting the future, even peering into the past through the rules of spacetime is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Cultivators specializing in the path of time and space can basically only rely on spatial abilities in the early and middle stages.
The Eternal Dao Master comprehends the Dao of Space and Time, and can perform small-scale spatial teleportation. The Eternal True Lord can use spatial slash attacks, and only after arriving at the Eternal True God can one tear through space to travel long distances.
As for time... that's a realm only the top beings of the Eternal Saint Realm are qualified to touch.
This is why the system's ability to "simulate the future" is especially valuable on the Eternal Continent.
It is also extremely expensive.
A simulation of Xiao Yan 150,000 points seems exorbitant, but it is actually quite reasonable.
After all, to foresee the complete destiny of a prodigy who is highly likely to become Saint Realm expert in the future is already an act against the heavens.
"Let's not think about it for now."
Han Xuanji suppressed her thoughts and refocused her attention on her conversation with Xiao Yan.
Instead of aiming too high, it's better to be down-to-earth, first master the Five Elements Dao Principle at hand, and then plan the next place to sign in.
"Brother Han?"
Xiao Yan's voice came through, tinged with a hint of doubt.
Han Xuanji snapped out of her reverie and realized that she had been daydreaming.
He smiled apologetically:
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something and my mind wandered."
Xiao Yan did not press further, but simply said:
"It's alright, let's continue."
On the other side.
The Soul Household, the Thousand Souls Hall.
Hun Qianxue sat upright in the main seat, holding a newly delivered communication Jade Slip slip in his hand.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and a meaningful smile slowly curled at the corners of his lips.
"Interesting..."
He read the message in the Jade Slip again, confirming that he hadn't misread it, and finally couldn't help but chuckle.
"This kid is indeed extraordinary."
Hun Qianxue up, paced around the hall a few times with his hands behind his back, then suddenly quickened his pace and walked out of the hall.
" Qianling wasn't lying to me after all!"
These days, he has also been under considerable pressure due to the rumors about Han Xuanji. Although it is not enough to shake his position as head of the family, it has certainly affected his prestige.
A moment later, Hun Qianxue arrived at Hun Qianling's cave abode.
At this moment, Hun Qianling was cultivating in her cave abode, her expression calm, though occasionally a barely perceptible hint of fatigue would flash between her brows.
Since Han Xuanji went to the Five Elements Pavilion, she has been cultivating while waiting for news.
Although she didn't say it, she was actually a little worried.
She was well aware of the difficulty of the Five Elements Heavenly Stairway. In recent years, many geniuses from the Soul Household had tried to conquer it, but the best result was only eight hundred levels.
Although Han Xuanji is S-Rank Heaven's Chosen, whether he can overcome this challenge remains to be seen.
