Han Xuanji sat cross-legged on the futon. The surrounding restrictions had been activated on their own, isolating the entire room into an independent space.
He closed his eyes, focused his mind on the System Space, and began to tally up his gains from this Nine Mysteries Palace sign-in session.
The most important thing, of course, is that entry.
[ Saint Soul Physique: Your true spirit is as holy as a saint, indestructible through countless eons. Your divine soul and physical body are perfectly fused. The enhancement of your physical body will lead to the enhancement of your divine soul, and vice versa. Your divine soul strength is naturally powerful, ten times that of cultivators at the same level. Your cultivation speed in the path of the divine soul is extremely high. You are naturally immune to all divine soul attacks below the Saint Realm. Your divine soul strength is incomparably resilient, and you possess an innate divine Divine Ability in the Soul Path.]
"Ten times?"
Han Xuanji was slightly shaken as he read this introduction.
The perfect fusion of the divine soul and physical body, a state of unity of spirit and flesh, is a cultivation state that many cultivators dream of but can never achieve in their entire lives.
Because for most cultivators, their soul and physical body are relatively independent. The soul resides deep within the sea of consciousness, while the physical body serves as the vessel. Although the two are connected, they are not entirely integrated.
After all, some people have strong physical bodies, while others have strong spiritual souls. Those who can achieve perfect integration either cultivate extremely high-level body-refining and soul-refining Secret Method at the same time, or are born with extraordinary talent.
In this state, cultivating the physical body and the spirit will achieve a complementary effect.
But the Saint Soul Physique is domineering.
"The strengthening of the physical body will lead to the strengthening of the soul, and the strengthening of the soul will also lead to the strengthening of the spirit... and even ten times the strength of the soul."
Han Xuanji murmured to himself.
This truly combines both mechanics and numerical values!
Could my master have this constitution?
Han Xuanji made a bold guess.
If that's true, then his master's strength is far greater than he imagined. The characteristics of this Saint Soul Physique are terrifying; not only is the soul ten times stronger than others of the same realm, but the physical body is also at least ten times stronger than others of the same realm.
"If I had this physique, my physical body would be even stronger than it is now."
Han Xuanji pondered in his heart.
His soul, influenced by his will and numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures at the same level, while his physical body, though powerful, is still slightly inferior.
However, the previous battles did not require him to use any methods of the Dao of the Divine Soul, nor did he encounter any Divine Soul attacks, so it did not manifest itself.
"It's just that I feel like I'm going a bit too far down the path of physical cultivation."
Han Xuanji found it inexplicably funny.
He probably doesn't even need to use any Divine Ability Law Technique or spells to deal with most cultivators of the same realm now; he can break through all laws with a single punch.
He's clearly well-rounded; not many people should be able to force him to reveal his true abilities.
To be honest, it's not so bad to keep things under wraps all the time.
However, after thinking about it, Han Xuanji put the entry aside and didn't rush to claim it.
This entry brought a significant boost, and he planned to go into seclusion a few days later after the disciple-acceptance ceremony to collect the reward and then break through to the Eternal True Lord Realm in one go.
Han Xuanji directly received the four thousand top-grade eternal crystals and quietly placed them in a corner of the system space, each one radiating a warm glow.
Special-Grade Eternal Crystal Stone are essential resources for cultivators in the Saint Realm, and their value far surpasses that of high-grade Eternal Crystal Stone.
He doesn't need it right now, but having this wealth there provides him with a sense of security.
It's safer to store it in the System Space than anywhere else.
Han Xuanji then began to examine the four Eternal Saint Artifact he had acquired.
Their ranks are all quite high.
[ The Illusory Realm Shadowless Boat: A Tier 3 Eternal Saint Artifact, capable of concealing its presence in the void, traversing between reality and the illusory realm. Extremely fast and difficult to lock onto, it is suitable for long-distance travel and covert operations.]
In the System Space, the Illusory Realm Shadowless Boat resembles a small boat the size of a palm, its entire body semi-transparent, as if formed from flowing water and light.
However, the aura it contains is extremely restrained.
The system description is also very clear: this is suitable for escaping with people, and its combat capability is estimated to be inferior to the Five Elements Divine Warship.
Han Xuanji looked at the next Eternal Saint Artifact.
This is a special Eternal Saint Artifact, of considerable quality.
[ The Heaven-Splitting Sword Case, a fourth-tier Eternal Saint Artifact, can store up to ten thousand Eternal Dao Artifact -level flying swords and nine Eternal Saint Artifact- level flying swords. Swords placed in the box will automatically be nurtured and repaired. The more Eternal Saint Artifact stored, the better the effect. Furthermore, flying swords will be imbued with Heaven-Splitting Saint Power upon exiting the box.]
"A fourth-tier Eternal Saint Artifact..."
Han Xuanji pondered silently.
Eternal Saint Artifact are divided into nine tiers, from lowest to highest.
Items above the seventh rank are generally Eternal Holy Lord, and usually only Eternal Holy Lord can refine them.
The weapons and magical Law Treasure used by the Eternal Sage King are called Saint King Artifact. Each Saint King Artifact is a treasure of the Eternal Continent, renowned and unique.
These fourth-tier Eternal Saint Artifact are quite extraordinary; only the strongest among the Eternal Sage can possess them.
Han Xuanji carefully examined the Heaven-Splitting Sword Case. It was entirely black, and its surface was covered with intricate Dao patterns, as if sealing away something extremely sharp.
"It takes nine Eternal Saint Artifact to achieve perfection, right...?"
This suits him well; after all, given time, he'll eventually be able to sign up so many treasures.
But for now, this thing can only sit in the System Space collecting dust.
As for the so-called Heaven-Splitting Saint Power, Han Xuanji guessed that it was a spiritual power similar to the Power of Mystic Heaven, which could greatly amplify his attack capabilities.
After thinking for a moment, Han Xuanji summoned the Heaven-Splitting Sword Case. He gently swept his fingertips across the surface of the box and could feel the sharp, ready-to-be-released power within.
He stored the sword-type Eternal Dao Artifact he had previously checked in into the system space, and then put them back into the System Space.
He then looked at the remaining two Eternal Saint Artifact.
One of them was a long sword with a dark gold blade and a faint shimmering light at the tip, as if it could cut through anything, whether tangible or intangible.
The other item was a Daoist robe, deep blue all over, as if the entire night sky had been woven into the fabric. The surface of the robe seemed to have fine starlight flowing around it, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item.
[ Heavenly Gang God-Slaying Saber: A third-tier Eternal Saint Artifact, specifically designed to break through protective auras and soul defenses. It is remarkably effective against cultivators skilled in defense or soul techniques. However, wielding this blade requires extremely strong willpower and control over one's power; otherwise, it can easily backfire.]
[ Star Dao Robe: A fourth-tier Eternal Saint Artifact, capable of automatically resisting 70% of attacks from Sage -level being, and also having a certain weakening effect on soul attacks. It also possesses the ability to automatically repair itself using the power of stars.]
Han Xuanji examined each of the sacred artifacts one by one.
All he can use right now is this Star Dao Robe. Defensive sacred artifacts are very rare, and they don't require him to be very strong.
Han Xuanji simply took out the Star Dao Robe, put it on, and then used the system function to cover it up.
To others, it was merely a garment made of an Eternal Dao Artifact.
It is actually a fourth-tier Eternal Saint Artifact, capable of significantly weakening even attacks from Sage.
With this Star Dao Robe, Han Xuanji felt much more at ease.
Finally, he saw the final sign-in reward: insights into the " Nine Heavens Heavenly Mandate Instruction ".
The Nine Heavens Heavenly Mandate Instruction is an extremely difficult cultivation Cultivation Method, and the Dao of Fate is even more mysterious. If he were to rely solely on his own exploration, it would inevitably take him some time.
And the benefit of this insight is that it saves him a great deal of time.
"Ten check-ins and I got this level of entry, plus these sacred artifacts and insights..."
Han Xuanji silently calculated in his heart, "I don't even want to think about what I'll get if I sign all three hundred times."
He made the right choice coming to Nine Mysteries City.
For him, every place is a treasure trove.
