There are certainly many benefits to becoming Elder Meng's disciple, but the arrival of the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord before us clearly offers a better option.
This exceeded his original expectations.
He originally thought that the fact that this Principle Conference could attract the attention of the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord was just a gimmick, since he hadn't seen the other party appear, nor had he given any clear explanation; it was just a rumor circulating among the people.
It would be a good choice if a powerful Sage could take on a disciple, but I never expected that even the Holy Lord who governs a state would come in person.
He was a Third-Turn Holy Lord, and he thought the other party was only a newly entered Holy Lord, but he didn't expect him to be much stronger than he imagined.
This also shows that the future of this Nine Mysteries Holy Lord will definitely not be bad. Even if he doesn't reach the Saint King Realm Stage, he will at least be a top-tier Holy Lord.
If you miss such an opportunity, you may never have another chance like it.
By becoming a disciple of the Holy Lord, he will receive not only protection and resources, but also a higher starting point.
Elder Meng could give him a path to becoming Sage, but Mo Chenxiao gave him a path to becoming a Holy Lord.
Even with a system by his side, his current strength is still weak. In the vast world of the Eternal Continent, no matter how many trump cards he has, they are not as reliable as having a Holy Lord- level backer.
" The Xuanji."
Mo Chenxiao's voice pulled Han Xuanji back from her thoughts.
He put down his teacup, his gaze falling on Han Xuanji's face. His tone remained casual, but his eyes had become several degrees deeper than before.
There's something I'd like to ask you first.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly:
"Please speak, Your Holy Lord."
Mo Chenxiao looked at him and slowly spoke:
"If I'm not mistaken, you're probably not a cultivator native to the Eternal Continent, but rather from some Primal Chaos, right?"
This came as a surprise.
Han Xuanji felt a chill run down her spine, but her face remained calm.
He remained silent for a moment, but did not deny it.
He knew that lying to a Holy Lord was not only pointless, but would also put him in a passive position.
Although Elder Meng did not specifically investigate his background, with the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord's abilities, investigating his origins would be a piece of cake.
"That's right."
Han Xuanji said frankly:
"I do indeed come from a Primal Chaos."
Upon hearing this, Elder Meng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them, clearly somewhat surprised.
He didn't have time to investigate Han Xuanji's background, only assuming that he was lucky to have found a promising talent.
This is not unprecedented in history.
Mo Chenxiao's eyes showed even greater approval. He didn't ask which Chaos place it was, nor did he inquire how Han Xuanji had transcended it; he simply nodded slightly.
"The creatures in the Primal Chaos were born weak."
"It's truly remarkable that you were able to transcend that environment, arrive at the Eternal Continent, and achieve this in such a short time."
well enough.
Han Xuanji felt that it was quite easy for her.
Why do some people always think that his journey has been very difficult?
However, on the surface, Han Xuanji still put on a bittersweet expression, as if she had really suffered a lot in the past.
Children who play the victim get rewarded.
Although he had never experienced hardship in the past, he can now consider it as if he had.
Mo Chenxiao paused, his tone tinged with emotion:
"You don't need to be nervous. In fact, the ancestors of countless cultivators on the Eternal Continent today are all Transcendent emerged from the Primal Chaos."
They came to the Eternal Continent, comprehended the Sage, established their homes, and multiplied their descendants. It was only through countless years of accumulation that they achieved their current prosperity.
Han Xuanji listened quietly.
He was naturally aware of this history.
In ancient times, powerful ferocious beasts roamed freely on the Eternal Continent, and the natives of the Eternal Continent depended on those powerful Eternal Deity for survival.
Later, the Transcendent arrived. They first gradually won over a group of natives, and then quickly grew stronger, not only defeating the ferocious beasts but also occupying the territory.
Those natives who refused to submit followed the Eternal Deity into the Great Wilderness regions.
Mo Chenxiao didn't elaborate, clearly not wanting to discuss this topic further.
The other party probably knows far more than he does.
"But."
Mo Chenxiao changed the subject, his gaze returning to Han Xuanji with a scrutinizing tone.
"Your cultivation speed is indeed somewhat beyond the norm."
I have carefully examined you. From the time you arrived in Thousand Souls City to your current status as the champion of the Principle Conference, only a thousand years have passed.
This speed is extremely rare even on the entire Eternal Continent.
In reality, it has only been a few hundred years.
Mo Chenxiao continued:
"So I'd like to ask, are you the reincarnation of some powerful being?"
This question is even more direct than the one before.
Reincarnated and reborn powerful individuals are not uncommon on the Eternal Continent.
Some powerful individuals, feeling hopeless about the future, will choose to voluntarily disperse their cultivation and reincarnate with their true spirit to cultivate again, hoping to break through to a higher realm in the next life.
When such people revisit the path of spiritual cultivation, their memories and insights from their past lives awaken at specific times, allowing them to cultivate at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
In pursuit of a more perfect foundation, some people even choose to be reincarnated into a Primal Chaos.
Because many Transcendent in ancient times reached the Saint King Realm Stage, a considerable number of people in the Sage circle strongly believe in the success theory of Transcendent. They believe that if one can achieve transcendence through one's own efforts, one's potential will be higher and success will be easier.
Han Xuanji met his gaze calmly, without flinching or hesitation:
No, I am not the reincarnation of anyone.
I got to where I am today by taking one step at a time; there were no shortcuts.
He was convinced even of his own words when he said them.
After all, he wasn't some reincarnated powerhouse; there's nothing wrong with him growing step by step through the system, right?
Anyway, his experience in the Primal Chaos was real.
You must know that he came from a mortal background and cultivated himself through real practice.
He truly deserves the title of "People's Heavenly Venerable"!
But there's no need to bring this up; he has a clear conscience anyway.
Even if the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord had the means to detect whether he was lying, he probably wouldn't be able to detect it.
Even if the test results are positive, and they refuse to accept him as their apprentice, there's nothing he can do but accept it.
