Han Xuanji ignored the system notification, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to He Guanshan:
"Thank you, Commander. I will remember this."
He Guanshan waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned:
"Alright, enough with the formalities. Go in. This place is protected by protective barriers; it's very safe, and no one will disturb your cultivation."
"You can stay as long as you want. Just let me know when you've had enough."
After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
As Han Xuanji watched his figure disappear at the end of the corridor, his opinion of the legion commander rose even higher.
This person is unconventional and acts freely. He neither deliberately makes things difficult for me because I am a member of the Soul Household, nor does he try to win me over excessively because of my talent.
Help when you should help, let go when you should let go, and strike the right balance.
"He's someone similar to the True God Black Rock. Is this how all those who cultivate the Dao of the Physical Body are?"
Han Xuanji pondered to himself, feeling that he was quite lucky, as he had met many kind people.
Or, to put it another way, appropriately displaying one's talent will lead to higher regard from those around them, and facilitate better development.
However, it's not good to hide one's talents too much.
Han Xuanji felt that his performance was just right. Perhaps he was a rare genius in Thousand Souls City, but in the context of a large region, he didn't seem to be that outstanding.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Han Xuanji turned and walked towards the high platform.
The moment he stepped onto the first step, a vast Daoist aura overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
Unlike the mysterious atmosphere of life and death alternating in the Life and Death Ravine, the Daoist aura here is more grand and inclusive, seemingly representing the origin of everything and the mighty power that created all things.
Han Xuanji closed his eyes, sensing the Daoist energy, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.
"According to the legion commander, there should also be Dao of Destruction, but I don't sense it."
He walked up the steps one by one.
Each step is engraved with different Daoist patterns, some profound and obscure, others simple and easy to understand.
Han Xuanji did not rush to comprehend it. When he reached the top of the platform, he stopped.
This is a platform several meters in circumference. In the center of the platform is a futon, and in front of the futon is a stone table covered in dust, which means it has not been touched for a long time.
Han Xuanji sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and silently recited in his heart:
"System, check-in."
As soon as he had a thought, the system's notification sounds flowed out like a spring, crisp and frequent.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the " Creation Platform," a ten-star check-in location, and have obtained the entry " Controlling the Origins of Creation and Destruction "!]
[ The Controlling the Origins of Creation and Destruction: a single thought can give rise to all things, evolve all things, and create all living beings; a single thought can also annihilate all living beings and destroy everything. Creation and destruction reside in the mind.]
Han Xuanji was startled.
This entry seems a bit unusual, and feels more powerful than the " Five Elements Source and Flow " he obtained at the Five Elements Altar and the " Heart Free of Obstructions " he obtained at the Shallow Dream Pavilion.
"The palm holds the power of creation; a single thought gives rise to all things..."
Han Xuanji murmured the same words over and over again, a surge of indescribable excitement welling up inside him.
If he were to claim this entry, he would seemingly have the last two principles of the Dao Principles, and their effect on him would far exceed his expectations.
He didn't rush to claim the rewards, but instead continued to check the subsequent sign-in rewards.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the " Creation Platform," a ten-star check-in location, and have obtained the Cultivation Method " Creation Dao Evolution Scripture) "!]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the " Creation Platform," a ten-star check-in location, and have obtained the Cultivation Method " The Destruction Source Scripture) "!]
[ The Creation Dao Evolution Scripture): One of the core Cultivation Method of the Divine Mountain of Creation, this is the first volume, containing the cultivation methods from the Eternal Dao Master to the Eternal Sage.]
[ The Destruction Source Scripture): One of the core traditions of the Hall of the End, this is the first volume, containing the cultivation methods from the Eternal Dao Master to the Eternal Sage.]
"The first volume alone contains cultivation methods that lead to the level of Sage?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred; it seemed that the complete versions of these two Cultivation Method were of extremely high quality.
He had also heard of the two major forces, Divine Mountain of Creation and the Hall of the End, which seemed to be second-rate forces on the Eternal Continent. Both of them had the inheritance of the Eternal Holy Lord, and every once in a while, someone would prove the Dao and become Sage, but now there was no Holy Lord in charge.
He never expected that the powerful figure who left behind this legacy was connected to both of these sects. It seems that the other party's background is even more impressive than he imagined.
After all, these two forces are enemies. How did he manage to obtain the core inheritances of both?
Stealing knowledge?
Or perhaps it was because his identity made him untouchable by both major powers, leading them to directly hand over his two inheritances.
Han Xuanji didn't think much of it and continued looking at the sign-in rewards.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the " Creation Platform," a ten-star check-in location, and have obtained the ninth-tier Eternal Dao Artifact, the " Creation Cauldron "!]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the " Creation Platform," a ten-star check-in location, and have obtained the ninth-tier Eternal Dao Artifact, " Fortune-Born Divine Jade "!]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the " Creation Platform," a ten-star check-in location, and have obtained the Tier 3 Eternal Saint Artifact, the " Creation Millstone "!]
Two ninth-tier Eternal Dao Artifact and one third-tier Eternal Saint Artifact.
After a rough assessment, Han Xuanji realized that the quality of these Dao artifacts was far superior to the ten ninth-tier Dao artifacts he had obtained from the Soul Household's treasury. This was clearly because they were crafted by a master, with more exquisite techniques and a richer Daoist aura.
The Creation Cauldron seems to have been used for alchemy, and the powerful figure who left behind this legacy was also a master of Dao of Alchemy.
The Fortune-Born Divine Jade is an auxiliary Eternal Dao Artifact with the ability to gather fortune and ward off evil. It can also protect its master in life-or-death situations and withstand attacks from Eternal Sage. It is a rare and precious treasure.
For Han Xuanji now, it might be far more practical than an Eternal Saint Artifact.
[ The Creation Millstone: A third-tier Eternal Saint Artifact crafted by the Sage Qiankun. It uses heaven and earth as its millstone and all living beings as its food, grinding away the ages and possessing the power to crush all laws and refine the essence.]
After reading the introduction to the Birth and Destruction Millstone, Han Xuanji felt that his previous words had been somewhat arbitrary.
As expected of Eternal Saint Artifact, this thing can throw enemies, Law Treasure, and even a whole world into the millstone, grind them up, and extract the "essence of origin".
Even enemy attacks that fall within the millstone's range will be ground down and decomposed into the most primordial Eternal Spiritual Qi, which can then be used for one's own benefit.
"However, I still can't use this thing properly..."
Han Xuanji sighed inwardly, lamenting that he possessed a treasure trove but had nowhere to use it.
This item is definitely a top-tier sacred artifact at the Sage level. Even if he were Eternal True God, if he unleashed even one percent of its power, he would probably be hard-pressed to find an opponent at the Eternal True God stage.
Han Xuanji also learned who had left behind this legacy.
The Sage Qiankun.
Its reputation is indeed impressive; with this sacred artifact in hand, it is certainly enough to turn the world upside down.
I'm taking a day off today, so this will be a single update.
Feel sorry!
