Han Xuanji was slightly taken aback, then nodded calmly:
"Yes, I am indeed Transcendent, having come to the Eternal Continent from a Primal Chaos."
This isn't a big secret anymore, since his background is indeed quite traceable.
My life before coming to the Soul Household was a complete blank.
Leng Qianshuang looked at him, her gaze more complex than before.
"Good."
The cultivators of the Eternal Continent are not unfamiliar with the identity of " Transcendent," but it is not common.
The fact that those Transcendent can reach the pinnacle of Primal Chaos and break free from constraints proves that their talent and temperament far surpass those of ordinary people.
They possess an indescribable resilience compared to native cultivators, which is why many supreme powers deliberately send their disciples into the Primal Chaos for reincarnation and training.
Leng Qianshuang had seen many Transcendent, but she still couldn't understand why Han Xuanji so highly regarded by his master.
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze, her tone returning to its usual cool indifference:
"No wonder, you've had it pretty tough."
Let's go.
Leng Qianshuang finished speaking, she didn't delay any longer.
She got up and walked towards the door with crisp, decisive steps, and Han Xuanji got up and followed.
The two walked through the corridors of the Dustless Palace and headed deeper into the Nine Mysteries Palace.
Along the way, they encountered several patrolling guards, who all saluted the two of them.
Before long, the two arrived in front of a solitary stone temple.
The stone hall was not large, and it was built entirely of dark blue stone. Its surface was covered with fine array patterns, which spread and intertwined like a spider web under the light.
The palace gates were tightly closed, and there were no guards at the entrance.
Leng Qianshuang raised her hand and placed it on the palace door. The array patterns lit up for a moment, and the palace door slid open silently to both sides.
The hall was empty except for a circular teleportation array in the center of the floor, with nine fist-sized crystals embedded in the array plate, emitting a gentle light.
"This is the Nine Mysteries Palace's inter-domain teleportation array; it can directly transport you to the Tianxuan Myriad Realms City."
Leng Qianshuang stepped onto the array plate and glanced at Han Xuanji.
"Hold on tight."
Han Xuanji followed his instructions and stepped onto the battle platform.
Leng Qianshuang raised his hand and cast a Method Formula. The array patterns on the array plate lit up one by one, and light rose from his feet, enveloping his entire body.
The next second, he felt a slight pulling force coming from all directions, as if he were being held by an invisible hand, pulled down suddenly and then lifted up. Then everything in his field of vision was stretched into blurry lines.
When he regained his footing, the sensation under his feet had changed.
Tianxuan Myriad Realms City.
He had visited this colossal city when he first arrived on the Eternal Continent, and everything from that time was still vivid in his mind.
Stepping onto this land again now, my State of Mind is completely different.
He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the towering buildings in the distance, no longer as restrained as before.
Leng Qianshuang didn't linger; she intercepted a flying boat and headed towards the port.
Before long, they arrived at a port.
Airships of various sizes came and went, and fleets also set sail, which was quite a spectacular sight.
Leng Qianshuang raised her hand and waved it. A soft light flashed, and a sky-blue flying boat, several tens of feet long, with smooth lines and a beautiful appearance, appeared. It was also a Saint-level flying boat.
"Come on up."
Han Xuanji also boarded the flying boat and sat down opposite her.
The flying boat slowly rose, passed through the defensive light barrier of Tianxuan Myriad Realms City, and flew towards the Primordial Sea.
As the outline of the city gradually shrinks, the surrounding scenery also gradually becomes more open and spacious.
Han Xuanji sat in the cabin, gazing at the vast sea in front of him.
His senses became clearer; he could feel that faint connection, though it was blurry, the general direction was correct.
He pointed Leng Qianshuang in a direction, and the flying boat adjusted its course, heading steadily towards that area.
Leng Qianshuang remained silent, her gaze calmly fixed ahead.
She is actually a cold person, not fond of talking or laughing, and rarely communicates with others.
Han Xuanji waited a while, feeling this was a rare opportunity to be alone, and then broke the silence:
"Senior sister, what is the relationship between the Heavenly South Desolate Domain and the Nine Mysteries Prefecture?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Qianshuang turned her head to look at him, seemingly surprised that he would ask this, but she did not refuse to answer.
She paused for a moment, as if gathering her thoughts, before speaking:
" The Heavenly South Desolate Domain is a very dangerous area. The environment there is treacherous, and ferocious beasts roam freely. Only some exiled cultivators and outlaws go there to make a living. Why are you asking this?"
"What I mean is, it's said that every now and then, riots break out in the Heavenly South Desolate Domain, and beast tides attack the cities surrounding Nine Mysteries Prefecture."
Han Xuanji responded softly, her eyes filled with worry.
Leng Qianshuang paused, then continued calmly:
"The border between Nine Mysteries Prefecture and Heavenly South Desolate Domain has always been fortified with layers of defenses. Normally, the two sides keep to themselves, but every now and then, there are indeed large-scale beast uprisings in the Desolate Domain. According to the pattern, the next uprising is indeed coming soon."
Are you trying to fool me like a child?
Han Xuanji remained silent for a moment:
"Then... what about Master? Doesn't he care?"
Leng Qianshuang gazed at the gray sea ahead, her tone still calm, but the content of her words made Han Xuanji's heart tighten slightly:
"Master has his own affairs. Although the riots in the Desolate Domain follow certain patterns, they rarely pose a real threat to Nine Mysteries City."
Unless it threatens Nine Mysteries City, the master generally won't take action personally.
He has more important things to do.
in spite of?
Is it something they can't control?
Han Xuanji could tell that the other person definitely knew something, but seemed unwilling to tell him.
They probably felt that his spiritual cultivation was too low, and that he didn't need to know these things.
Because knowing it wouldn't make any difference.
After a moment's thought, Han Xuanji cut to the chase and asked:
Is it related to the elk?
Han Xuanji's question was direct and straightforward, without any beating around the bush.
Upon hearing this, Leng Qianshuang narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Han Xuanji, somewhat surprised that he would ask such a direct question.
I've also done some research.
Han Xuanji did not avoid her gaze:
" Thousand Souls City is close to the Desolate Domain. When I was still there, I heard some rumors about the beast tide."
Leng Qianshuang didn't reply immediately. After a moment, she withdrew her gaze, her tone softening slightly:
"You're much more attentive than I expected."
Leng Qianshuang gazed at the hazy horizon ahead, not speaking immediately.
This journey was nothing out of the ordinary for her.
The azure-colored flying boat traced a smooth path across the dark, Primordial Sea, sailing leisurely towards a more distant horizon.
