Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji's heart stirred slightly.
He naturally knew about the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm.
That was the sacred land of the Nine Mysteries Prefecture, not a secret realm opened up by Mo Chenxiao, the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord Nine Mysteries Prefecture throughout the ages, and it contained many of the works left by the previous Lords of the Nine Mysteries Prefecture.
Over countless years, the fortuitous opportunity and inheritances accumulated in the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm have become as numerous as the stars, but some inheritance sites are only opened once every hundreds of thousands of years.
He had considered it before, but he had been busy in seclusion to improve his cultivation and digest the benefits brought by the Azure Origin Hongmeng Dao Fruit, so he did not take the initiative to pursue it.
Now that Mo Chenxiao has brought it up himself, he naturally won't miss this opportunity.
What excites him even more is that this Nine Mysteries Saint Realm is clearly a place with extremely high Dao essence, and there are probably many places where he can sign in.
The Nine Mysteries Hall is indeed an eleven-star sign-in location with impressive rewards, but the cost of 2,000 points per sign-in is quite high. The Nine Mysteries Saint Realm, as a sacred place in the Nine Mysteries Prefecture, is at least a ten-star sign-in location, and its cost-effectiveness may be higher than that of the Nine Mysteries Hall.
However, he didn't know much about the specifics of the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm.
All that is known is that the qualification to enter that place is extremely rare, and it is uniformly allocated by Nine Mysteries City, with various forces vying for it at all costs.
Most of the cultivators who entered it received considerable fortuitous opportunity.
He can go; he plans to find some information and study it carefully after he gets back.
"This disciple is willing to go."
Han Xuanji cupped his hands in response, his tone calm and without the slightest hesitation.
Mo Chenxiao's eyes flashed with satisfaction when he saw how readily he agreed.
He put down his teacup, his tone unusually serious:
" The Nine Mysteries Saint Realm is a trial ground jointly created by the powerful figures of the Nine Mysteries Prefecture Continent throughout the ages. As far as I know, the inheritance ground that has been opened this time is a complete lineage left behind by a Holy Lord. That Holy Lord was once a powerful figure in the Sacred Radiance Domain. After his fall, he sealed all his knowledge in the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm, waiting only for the destined person."
This lineage has strict restrictions on the cultivation level of those who enter; Eternal True God and above can enter.
In other words, the strongest among those who can enter to compete is none other than the Eternal True Lord Perfection.
With your current strength, you won't be at a disadvantage against them.
Of course, cultivation level is one aspect, and fortuitous opportunity is another.
Whether you can inherit the legacy depends on your own abilities.
Upon hearing of the Holy Lord's fall, Han Xuanji asked with some curiosity:
" The Eternal Holy Lord possessed immense power and an endless lifespan, so how did he perish?"
"Was it done by the Eternal Deity? Or by other forces?"
In Han Xuanji's eyes, it was hard to imagine why someone could inflict such great damage on such a powerful figure, someone who couldn't even reincarnate.
Mo Chenxiao glanced at Han Xuanji.
If it were someone else, upon hearing about the Holy Lord's legacy, their first reaction would either be to excitedly inquire about the specific details of the legacy, or to calculate how likely they were to obtain it.
Han Xuanji, on the other hand, asked first how that Holy Lord died.
That's a bit too much curiosity.
Mo Chenxiao did not answer immediately, his gaze lingering on Han Xuanji's face for a few moments, as if he were considering something.
He pondered whether or not to reveal the secret.
In fact, Han Xuanji had only asked casually and hadn't thought too much about it, but she suddenly felt the atmosphere become a bit heavy.
"Okay, then I'll tell you. You'd find out sooner or later anyway."
Mo Chenxiao suddenly spoke.
The secrets of this level were not something Han Xuanji, at the True Lord Realm, should have come into contact with; knowing too much about them might not be a good thing.
But he felt that this disciple was not the kind of person who could be brushed off with a few words.
If I don't tell him today, he might look it up himself later. Rather than letting him stumble around on his own, it's better to tell him myself, at least I can keep things in check.
"Um."
Han Xuanji nodded. Actually, he really wanted to say that if it was inconvenient to say, he didn't have to tell him.
It felt like he'd uncovered some secret... It gave him a strange chill down his spine.
"The world we inhabit is called the Eternal True Tree Realm..."
Mo Chenxiao spoke, his voice lower than before, his face devoid of its previous gentleness, replaced by a solemnity Han Xuanji had never seen on his face before:
" The Eternal Divine Tree is the origin of all worlds. All living beings, all spirituality, and all Principle are born from the Eternal Divine Tree."
Those Eternal Deity you have seen, who claim to be born of nature, are in fact nothing more than fragments of spiritual energy emanating from the divine tree.
Every so often, it will be born somewhere in this world.
Even we cultivators, in the end, are still cultivating the spirituality and Principle of the Eternal Divine Tree.
Without the divine tree, there would be no world, and no you or me.
Han Xuanji was slightly startled upon hearing this.
He certainly knew of the existence of the Eternal Divine Tree. The tree was omnipresent; its phantom could be seen anywhere in the Primordial Sea and the Eternal Continent, but its essence could not be discerned, nor did he know its exact location.
Mo Chenxiao glanced at him, seemingly to confirm whether he was shocked by the news. Seeing that Han Xuanji's expression was slightly serious but his eyes were still clear, he continued speaking.
Beyond the Divine Tree, at the edge of space and time that we can perceive, lies another universe.
The cultivators there follow a completely different path of cultivation. Their power is strange; they do not follow the Dao Principles or cultivate Principle, but instead cultivate supernatural abilities, which is entirely different from our system.
These cultivators from another universe discovered the existence of the Eternal Divine Tree a very, very long time ago.
His tone became slightly more somber.
"You should know very well what the Eternal Divine Tree means to cultivators. It is the source of all laws and the ultimate destination of all Dao Principles and spirituality."
Whoever masters it will have the same power over the entire Eternal True Tree Realm.
The cultivators from other universes naturally knew this as well.
They have sent powerful individuals across the border more than once in an attempt to seize the Eternal Divine Tree.
Mo Chenxiao paused, looked at Han Xuanji, and said, word by word:
"As for why the Holy Lord you just asked about fell, it was because during the last invasion of another universe, he fought against a powerful being from another universe deep in the Primordial Sea and was severely injured by the opponent's strange methods."
His sacred body, divine soul, Dao fruit, and even true spirit were all eroded by an irreversible force. That force came from the primordial power of another universe and was incompatible with the Principle of our Eternal True Tree Realm. Once it invaded his body, it would disintegrate the cultivator's existence.
That senior fought with all his might to kill his opponent, but he was also seriously injured and could not recover, not even be able to reincarnate.
Before his demise, he sealed his entire lineage within the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm, leaving it to future generations.
