"I see."
Han Xuanji nodded thoughtfully.
The Creation Platform is the place where an Eternal Sage attained enlightenment; it is indeed not a place that just anyone can enter.
Although the Soul Household is deeply rooted and powerful in Thousand Souls City, they cannot forcefully suppress others when it comes to such fundamental "Dao essence resources".
The essence of cultivation is the leap of life, and anything left behind by the Eternal Sage is a treasure to beings below the Eternal Sage.
How do I need to prove it?
Han Xuanji asked.
He was a little confused; the conditions were too vague. What if the other party disagreed?
We can't exactly let him take on the entire Tiger and Panther Legion by himself, can we?
"I don't know the specifics, but I guess it will be something like sparring, discussing principles, or demonstrating strength through some kind of test."
Hun Qianxue sighed and said helplessly:
I know you don't like these kinds of hassles, but there's really no other way this time.
He Guanshan, the Tiger and Panther Legion, comes from the Aristocratic Clan of Sage. The fact that he is willing to give you a chance is already the result of my best efforts.
"Anyone else wouldn't even have the right to make demands."
"I understand, thank you for your trouble, Brother Qianxue."
Han Xuanji expressed her gratitude, knowing full well that this matter was not easy to handle.
In the Eternal Continent, these famous places of Dao essence have long been monopolized by powerful forces. It is impossible to go wherever one wants simply by virtue of being a genius.
"Just pay attention to Zhou Lie. He's so highly regarded by the legion commander because he comprehended the Dao of Creation at a very young age."
Hun Qianxue continued:
"His ability to gain a foothold in the Tiger and Panther Legion is all thanks to this talent."
If you go in now, you'll likely have to fight him.
This young man had previously genuinely defeated the younger generation of cultivators from Thousand Souls City, only to be defeated by someone from Nine Mysteries City. His strength is beyond doubt, and the reason he hasn't broken through to the Eternal True Lord is because it's intentional, not because he's incapable.
Some time ago, he went hunting outside the city and single-handedly killed a ferocious beast belonging to the Eternal True Lord; he should not be underestimated.
This means that the other person's level of understanding is higher than his.
And can a breakthrough be achieved anytime?
If I were to face him, he might just pull off a last-minute breakthrough.
After a moment of silence, Han Xuanji responded calmly and frankly:
"I understand."
"Just tell me what you need me to do."
He genuinely disliked this kind of "public performance" style of proof.
Spiritual practice is a personal matter. You know your own abilities, so why bother proving them to others?
But the Sage Daoist essence of the Creation Platform held great significance for him.
Naturally, one cannot act arbitrarily.
Hun Qianxue was clearly relieved.
I'm relieved that you think that way.
The exact time and location are still being arranged by the Tiger and Panther Legion, but it should be soon.
I'll go with you then; I won't let you face it alone.
On the other hand, Hun Qianxue was also worried that Han Xuanji might be tricked, and he was also uneasy about it.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji naturally wouldn't refuse.
When venturing into someone else's territory, it's always best to be cautious.
Although the other party is unlikely to harm him, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you.
Han Xuanji sense Hun Qianxue's almost "flattering" attitude towards him.
This is an exchange of interests, but it is also a matter of friendship.
Sometimes, it is the back-and-forth of relationships that allows a friendship to last.
One-sided efforts are often overlooked.
Hun Qianxue chuckled:
"Alright, why are you being so polite with me? It's settled then, and I'll go with you."
Those Tiger and Panther Legion guys are all so arrogant. If I don't go and support you, I'm afraid they'll bully you.
Han Xuanji naturally didn't say much and accepted it calmly.
After hanging up the call, he leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the horizon, his mind churning with thoughts.
Tiger and Panther Legion, Creation Platform, Zhou Lie, Rumors.
These words connected in his mind.
Zhou Lie was a "genius" in the Tiger and Panther Legion, and he guessed that the other party was the one who started spreading rumors behind the scenes.
Now that he's about to enter the Creation Platform, he'll inevitably have to deal with the Tiger and Panther Legion, and may even face off against Zhou Lie.
"Alright."
Han Xuanji's lips curled up slightly.
"So I don't have to go looking for him again."
He doesn't cause trouble, but he's not afraid of trouble either.
Han Xuanji assesses her own combat strength.
His Dao Principle of Life and Death has been condensed, and his cultivation level is stable at the eighth level. With the support of various secret techniques Cultivation Method, his current combat power far surpasses that of his peers.
If the Tiger and Panther Legion really wanted to test him with "sparring," he wouldn't mind stretching his muscles.
However... we can't be careless.
Han Xuanji secretly made his plans.
The Tiger and Panther Legion is the elite force of Thousand Souls City, and its core members are all battle-hardened veterans with rich combat experience.
Zhou Lie's reputation in the Tiger and Panther Legion is well-deserved.
His previous subjugation of Baili Qianchi at the Shallow Dream Pavilion was a contest of wills and spirits, not a true life-or-death struggle.
In terms of actual combat, he didn't really know his own strength for a while.
We need to make some preparations.
Han Xuanji sat down cross-legged again and closed her eyes.
He focused his mind, and the eight Eternal Dao Principle slowly circulated within his body, subtly connecting with each other.
The Dao of Creation is the way of creation and evolution, the fundamental principle of the birth and development of all things.
If he could condense the Dao Principle of Creation and verify it with these eight Daos, his strength would reach a new level.
"Unfortunately, we can only upgrade our combat strength for now."
Han Xuanji shook his head, suppressing the thought for the time being.
Although he has devoted most of his cultivation efforts to improving his realm and comprehending the Dao Principles over the years, it doesn't mean he hasn't explored other aspects.
Secret Method Divine Ability such as the Starfall Nine Swords, the Five Elements Great Grappling Hand, and the Great Life-Extinguishing Finger were all included.
The quality of Eternal Spiritual Power far surpasses that of ordinary people; this is the foundation.
Several days later, at the Tiger and Panther Legion's base.
A huge drill ground was located in the center of the military camp, surrounded by towering stands that could accommodate thousands of people.
Today, the area around the training ground was packed with people early on—elite soldiers of the Tiger and Panther Legion, representatives of various forces in Thousand Souls City, and curious onlookers who had come after hearing the news.
Whispers rose and fell among the crowd.
"Have you heard? Han Xuanji from the Soul Household is coming to undergo a test before he can enter the Creation Platform."
" The Creation Platform? That's where Sage attain enlightenment, the lifeblood of the Tiger and Panther Legion. Allowing outsiders in—how much face is the Legion Commander giving the Soul Household?"
"They've given me face, but the conditions aren't low either. I heard I have to prove my abilities in front of everyone—isn't that deliberately making things difficult?"
"Making things difficult? I think that's reasonable. The Dao potential of the Creation Platform is limited. Why should an outsider be allowed in? If you want to get in, you have to show your true abilities."
"That's true. I've heard about Han Xuanji's ascent to the Five Elements Heavenly Stairway Ladder and Shallow Dream Pavilion's subjugation of Baili Qianchi, but those were about enlightenment and willpower. I wonder how much real skill he actually possesses?"
"Won't we find out today?"
Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the martial arts arena.
There, a figure was slowly walking towards them.
