"You can check in here?"

Han Xuanji was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, he realized he had indeed underestimated this place.

The Shallow Dream Pavilion has been able to stand tall in Thousand Souls City for so many years suggests that it has at least one top-tier expert at the level of Eternal True God behind it, and that many of its guests are also highly skilled.

Over the years, the aura and Dao essence of countless powerful individuals have gathered here, forming a place for signing in, which is quite reasonable.

Hun Qianling was already seated inside. Seeing him enter, she smiled and waved.

"Come in quickly!"

" Shallow Dream Pavilion is one of the best places in Thousand Souls City."

Seeing Han Xuanji deep in thought, Hun Qianling assumed he was pondering this matter and explained with a smile,

Even powerful beings like Eternal True God often come here for leisure.

Today, Hun Qianling wore a light blue dress, looking completely different from her usual heroic and dashing appearance, with a touch more gentleness.

She was clearly dressed up carefully, with her hair styled in a high bun, her earrings swaying, and she looked radiant.

Han Xuanji sat down opposite her, glanced at her, and smiled:

"You look good today."

Hun Qianling was unusually embarrassed and said:

"Take a look and see what you'd like to eat. It's on me today, so don't be shy."

Han Xuanji took the menu, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The menu has many dishes, but each one is quite expensive.

The cheapest ones cost tens of Eternity Black Gold Coin, while the more expensive ones cost thousands.

" Shallow Dream Pavilion has chefs at the Eternal True God Realm, and the ingredients are all carefully selected rare delicacies from various places."

Hun Qianling explained,

"Some of the ingredients even come from True God- level breeding grounds, which are simply unavailable in ordinary places."

As Han Xuanji pretended to order food, a thought suddenly occurred to her:

"Sign in 30 times."

The system's notification sounds rang in my mind like a flowing stream, dense and crisp.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the ten-star check-in location " Shallow Dream Pavilion " and obtained the entry "[ Heart Free of Obstructions ]"!]

[ Heart Free of Obstructions: The mind is not swayed by external circumstances, thoughts are not disturbed by material things, Breaking Illusion, and clearly sees one's true nature.]

"A term related to the realm of mind?"

Han Xuanji quickly realized the usefulness of this entry.

If he were to obtain this entry, it might allow him to break through to a new level of spiritual enlightenment.

The role of this mental state should not be underestimated. Although it may not seem to enhance cultivation or strength, one must not have any weaknesses in their mental state if they want to reach the highest level.

The cultivation of many Dao of Principle. The environment there is extremely harsh, and many exceptionally talented individuals are prone to failure in their cultivation due to an unstable Dao heart and inability to withstand the impact.

Han Xuanji put down the reward for this entry and continued reading.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the ten-star check-in location " Shallow Dream Pavilion " and obtained the " Great Dream Heart-Tempering Method "!]

[ The Great Dream Heart-Tempering Method: Eternal True God- level Cultivation Method that uses dreams as a furnace and the mortal world as fire to temper the Dao heart and dispel illusions. Those who cultivate this technique can experience countless reincarnations in their dreams, and their State of Mind stability far surpasses that of their peers.]

"Another sign-in reward related to one's State of Mind; this place for cultivating the mind truly lives up to its name."

Han Xuanji pondered silently.

Before coming here, he knew that this place was not simple, not just a place for simple enjoyment. The powerful moon masters here could use their music and charm spells to temper one's mind and will.

This book, " The Great Dream Heart-Tempering Method," is rather interesting.

"I possess Eternal Dao Heart, and my current mental will is already at the peak of the Eternal Dao Master. After fusing with the relevant entries, I might be able to advance further. Then, by cultivating this method, I might be able to step into the mental will level of Eternal True God..."

Han Xuanji pondered silently.

Cultivators on the Eternal Continent generally have low levels of mental willpower, while most cultivators who transcended from the Primal Chaos have mental willpower far exceeding their cultivation level.

Han Xuanji also relies on the [ Eternal Dao Heart ] and other related terms to achieve an extremely high level of mental will, which makes his cultivation progress relatively smooth.

Principle can be comprehended, cultivation can be accumulated, and realms can be broken through, but if one's Dao heart is unstable, everything is like a tower on sand, which will collapse with a gust of wind.

"It seems I need to find some time to properly study this Cultivation Method."

Han Xuanji continued to look at the system information.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the ten-star check-in location " Shallow Dream Pavilion " and obtained "Insights into the Great Way of Cooking"!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the ten-star check-in location " Shallow Dream Pavilion " and obtained "Enlightenment on the Great Dao of Joy"!]

"This..."

Han Xuanji raised an eyebrow slightly, reflecting on her culinary skills and insights into the Way of Joy.

This was a direction he had never considered.

Where in life is there no spiritual practice?

Music and cooking may seem unrelated to cultivation, but in the Eternal Continent, they are also forms of cultivation.

Mobilizing the Power of Eternity and tempering one's mind and will is no less intricate than crafting weapons or alchemy. It requires a perfect combination of one's own strength and will to create food or music that can influence even the strongest.

However, it didn't really have much effect on Han Xuanji.

After all, he didn't have any extraordinary talent in this area, and besides, although there are countless paths to cultivation, the Dao of Principle is already the Tongtian path, so it's impossible for him to switch to cultivating other paths.

However, something is better than nothing. These two insights may not help him in terms of combat power, but they may enhance his mental and spiritual strength.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the ten-star check-in location " Shallow Dream Pavilion " and have received 100,000 " Eternity Amethyst Coin "!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the ten-star check-in location " Shallow Dream Pavilion " and have received 1,000,000 " Eternity Black Gold Coin "!]

Thirty check-ins completed.

Subsequent check-in rewards are almost entirely in the form of currency.

A million of these highly valuable currencies, such as Eternity Amethyst Coin, have been signed up. These are currencies comparable to high-grade Eternal Crystal Stone.

The number of Eternity Black Gold Coin reached tens of millions, a currency comparable to intermediate-grade Eternal Crystal Stone.

However, although the exchange rate between these currencies and Eternal Crystal Stone is 1:1, a premium is required to exchange the former for the latter.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use to me."

Han Xuanji pondered to herself, but it didn't really matter.

He currently has a sufficient number of Eternal Point Count, and can now fully utilize the ten-star level sign-in area.

Hun Qianling was completely unaware of what Han Xuanji was thinking and was still enthusiastically introducing Shallow Dream Pavilion's signature dishes.

"This 'Dreaming Back Through the Ages' is their signature dish, said to be the unique skill of that Eternal True God- level chef. It takes seven days and seven nights to simmer with ninety-nine kinds of spiritual ingredients. After tasting it, you'll see the most unforgettable moments of your life..."

Han Xuanji listened and nodded, casually ordering a few dishes.

Hun Qianling added a few more dishes and then instructed the waiter to serve them.

Before long, the dishes were served one after another.

The first dish is "Phoenix Crying in the Nine Heavens," which uses the wing tips of a powerful spirit bird as the main ingredient, supplemented with dozens of rare spirit medicine. It is carefully prepared by the senior chefs of the Shallow Dream Pavilion, and has a golden color, a fragrant aroma, melts in your mouth, and has a long-lasting aftertaste.

The second dish is "Dragon's Azure Sea," made from the meat of high-grade fish from the Primordial Sea. The meat is tender and has a subtle salty aroma, paired with a special sauce that leaves a lingering aftertaste.

The third course...

Each dish is a rare delicacy, not only satisfying the appetite but also beneficial to spiritual practice.

"How was it? Did I come to the right place?"

Hun Qianling ate and laughed at the same time.

Han Xuanji nodded:

"It's really good."

Han Xuanji feel that the pure energy contained in those ingredients was being slowly absorbed by his body, and his cultivation level had increased.

Of course, it only went up a little bit.

Han Xuanji also knew that tasting these delicacies was more of an enjoyment, a kind of luxury. Some beings on the Eternal Continent were of noble birth but had relatively weak willpower. Once they hit a bottleneck, they would try all sorts of things to pass the time, euphemistically calling it relaxation.

Some people might relax for a thousand years or so, or even sink into it.

Wang Ping was like that before.

As the two were enjoying their meal, a melodious piano tune suddenly began to play.
