Dustless Palace is a place of Daoist practice.
Two sword lights crossed each other in the sky above the training ground, separating immediately upon contact.
Yun Wuji retreated dozens of feet from the sword light, taking several steps in mid-air to barely steady himself. On the other hand, Han Xuanji's clothes didn't even flutter.
He withdrew his finger, the wisp of Sword Intent lingering at his fingertip quietly dissipating. His gaze fell on Yun Wuji, his tone calm:
"Your sword is much faster than it was fifty years ago, and your application of the Spacetime Dao Principle is quite good."
Yun Wuji sheathed his sword, bowed respectfully, and looked somewhat thoughtful.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Han Xuanji:
"Master, I would like to ask you something."
"Explain."
"Back when Master was at the Eternal Dao Master Realm, he forged ten top-tier Dao Principles."
The disciple has now condensed the Dao Principle of Life and Death, the Sword Dao, and the Spacetime Dao Principle; the fourth Dao Principles is currently being deduced...
Yun Wuji paused, took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision.
"This disciple wishes to follow in Master's footsteps, and also refine ten top-tier Dao Principles to build an unparalleled Dao foundation."
Han Xuanji glanced at him.
This disciple was the most talented and also the most insightful of all his disciples.
Among all the disciples, Yun Wuji had the highest cultivation level, and even after entering the Dao Master, his progress remained far ahead.
The Dao Principle of Life and Death and the Spacetime Dao Principle are both supreme Dao Principles. It is already difficult for an ordinary Dao Master to master even one of them. The Dao of Sword Dao is also a top-level Dao Principles and is extremely special. His comprehension and perseverance are indeed something to be proud of.
"Of the three thousand paths, every one leads to the Other Shore."
Han Xuanji's voice was calm and measured; she did not directly deny it, but stated the facts:
"There's no need to follow my path. My path is mine, and yours is yours. Forcibly imitating someone else's path often leads to finding yourself in a dead end."
The reason why the Dao of Principle are difficult is because the path is hard to replicate.
Some paths left behind by great beings are not suitable for everyone.
Because although everyone's understanding of the Dao Principles may seem to be the Dao Principles, there are actually significant differences. The idea of reaching the same destination through different paths is a very distant prospect.
Yun Wuji's eyes dimmed slightly, but before he could speak, Han Xuanji continued:
"However, if you want to build a more perfect foundation for your Dao during the Dao Master stage, this is not a bad thing."
As his own disciple, Han Xuanji naturally wouldn't hold back, but simply told him about the difficulty level first.
He raised his hand, and with a light tap of his fingertip in the air, countless pale golden specks of light appeared in the air like swimming fish, eventually forming an exquisite pattern.
"To build a perfect foundation for the Dao, the first principle is balance. Every Dao has its place, and every Dao has another that matches it. What you want to imitate is not my construction of Dao Principles, but this construction of balance."
Han Xuanji flicked his fingers, and a complex and intricate network of Principle appeared.
Yun Wuji stared at the net, his gaze gradually brightening from initial confusion.
"The second key point is the order: build the foundation first, then add things on top."
Han Xuanji looked at Yun Wuji, his tone still unhurried.
Yun Wuji stood still, nodded slightly, seemingly understanding the meaning behind it:
"Thank you for your guidance, Master."
"Go."
Han Xuanji waved his hand:
"Come and find me if you have any questions."
Watching Yun Wuji leave, Han Xuanji nodded slightly and murmured:
"They all seem to be working quite hard."
More than five hundred years have passed since the group arrived on the Eternal Continent.
Five hundred years is but a fleeting moment on the Eternal Continent.
For those ancient beings who have lived for countless eons, five hundred years might only be enough for a nap, but for the Transcendent have just arrived here, these five hundred years are a period of complete transformation.
Whether it's Immortal Ancestor Chaos Ancestor, the Taishang, or Han Xuanji's disciples, their desire to cultivate and become stronger has never diminished.
The resources allocated by Han Xuanji were like an inexhaustible river, continuously flowing into the hands of everyone.
If these resources were placed outside, each one would be something that Rogue Cultivator would fight tooth and nail for.
Here, however, they are distributed to everyone in an almost luxurious manner.
Resources cannot make a strong person, but they can pave the way to becoming a strong person.
At least at the Eternal Dao Master stage, there's no need to consider too much.
After all, which of these people hadn't grown up through countless battles?
Therefore, everyone's progress can be described as "leaps and bounds". Yun Wuji successfully stepped into the Eternal Dao Master Realm. The first Dao Principles he condensed was the Dao Principle of Life and Death, Dao Principles second was the Spacetime Dao Principle, which shows how high his comprehension was.
Lu Fan, Lin Feng, and the other disciples also broke through to the Eternal Dao Master Realm in the following hundreds of years.
Although their progress was not as good as Yun Wuji's, their foundations were extremely solid, and the first Eternal Dao Principle they condensed as Eternal Dao Master were all top-level Dao Principles.
Han Xuanji was quite satisfied with this. In the path of cultivation, speed is not the key; stability is.
He has no shortage of resources or patience, so naturally he wouldn't let his disciples take shortcuts that are quick to gain quick success.
Among the others, the Immortal Ancestor had the highest cultivation level.
The Immortal Ancestor's accumulation was too profound. After entering the Eternal Dao Master, he encountered almost no bottlenecks and made great strides. In the three hundredth year, he successfully completed nine physical transformations, forged the body of the Eternal True Lord, and entered the Eternal True Lord Realm.
Among those who follow the Dao of Principle, the one making the fastest progress is none other than the Supreme Dao Venerable.
This Dao Venerable, renowned for his comprehension in the Chaos, continued his consistent style after stepping into the Eternal Dao Master: slow, yet extremely steady.
Over five hundred years, his cultivation advanced to the Eternal Dao Master Fifth Level, mastering three top-level Dao Principles and two superior Dao Principles.
The others were a bit behind, but they were also making steady progress and had all mastered two top-level Dao Principles to varying degrees.
Both Dragon Ancestor and Little Gold are Dragon Race, and they follow the Dao of the Bloodline.
With the resources provided by Han Xuanji, the Dragon Ancestor had already completed his bloodline sublimation, and his cultivation level was at the peak of the Eternal Dao Master Perfection, just one step away from becoming True Master.
Little Gold's talent surpasses even that of the Dragon Ancestor, and with the rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that Han Xuanji specially sought out for it, its cultivation has already reached the level of Eternal True Lord.
Even Little White is now Eternal Dao Master.
After Han Xuanji gave the other party several priceless bloodline artifacts, their bloodline underwent a fundamental transformation.
The heavenly materials and earthly treasures forcibly cleansed the impurities from its bloodline, saving it countless years of arduous cultivation. Moreover, it has also cultivated several Sage- level bloodline Secret Method. If it can persist in its cultivation, it is not impossible for it to step into the realm of Eternal Sage.
However, Han Xuanji didn't expect Little White to keep going indefinitely.
This dog has realized how powerful its owner is, and it sneaks out to play every now and then.
The young masters of the Aristocratic Clan in the city knew that it was Han Xuanji's spirit pet, so they naturally fawned over it every day, taking good care of it and not having to spend a penny on food when they went out.
Han Xuanji himself never stopped. His cultivation efficiency far exceeded that of his peers, and he had no bottlenecks in improving his realm in the early and middle stages of the Eternal True Lord. He could steadily advance by following the steps.
Over the course of five hundred years, his cultivation steadily progressed from the initial stage of the Eternal True Lord to the Eternal True Lord Seventh Level.
Each breakthrough did not encounter any major bottlenecks.
After fusing with the Saint Soul Physique, his aptitude improved once again. His perception of the Principle of heaven and earth and his efficient conversion of Spiritual Qi —these intangible advantages accumulated over time and transformed into tangible advancements in his realm.
Five hundred years, breaking through six minor realms in a row—this speed would be astonishing for anyone, but Han Xuanji himself was not satisfied.
He knew better than anyone that although the cultivation before the Eternal True Lord stage was smooth, the gap between realms would become greater as one progressed.
The next three minor stages require several times more accumulation than the previous ones.
The Eternal True God —that's an even bigger watershed moment.
Even the Dao of the Physical Body, which is generally considered the easiest, is one that only a very few people can cross.
