In the deepest part of the Dustless Palace.
Han Xuanji held a seed no bigger than a thumb in his hand. The seed was translucent, with a seven-colored halo flowing on its surface. Inside, there seemed to be thousands of fine, thread-like rays of light slowly moving, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, as if it were alive.
Simply by placing it in his palm, Han Xuanji felt as if something had gently stirred the blood in his body, and an indescribable vitality surged into his body through his palm.
" The Seed of Primordial Beginning ".
He murmured the name, a smile playing on his lips.
" The Gu Household has really gone all out this time."
This seed is the Gu Household's apology. Don't underestimate this small seed; it's a priceless treasure.
It is said that it was born in the depths of the endless Primordial Sea touched by the Eternal Divine Tree, and that it shares the same origin as the Azure Origin Hongmeng Dao Fruit, both being among the most fundamental life crystals of this world.
The Nine Mysteries Holy Lord told him that if he consumed this, his physical strength would be greatly enhanced, and the primordial power within would further nourish his cultivation, making his cultivation speed several times faster. For cultivators who focus on the physical body, this thing is a priceless treasure.
Moreover, this seed is called the Seed of Primordial Beginning because it contains a wisp of primordial power, which can allow a cultivator's true essence to undergo a premature transformation and acquire certain characteristics.
Logically speaking, Gu Household would never be willing to take out such a precious item.
However, this " Seed of Primordial Beginning " is actually flawed, lacking in primordial power. Originally, it was of great benefit to Holy Lord level experts, but now it is of little help even to Eternal Sage. However, it is still a priceless treasure for cultivators below the Eternal Sage.
Han Xuanji understood its value better than anyone else, knowing that he possessed the [ Saint Soul Physique ] attribute, meaning his physical body and divine soul were already interconnected.
When the physical body becomes stronger, the spirit and soul will rise accordingly. When the spirit and soul become stronger, comprehension will change. With higher comprehension, one can comprehend the Principle nature more quickly. The faster one comprehends the Principle, the faster one's cultivation will be.
While others who consume this substance will only gain a stronger physique, he who consumes it will simultaneously enhance his physical body, soul, and comprehension.
This "stepping on his own feet" approach would be impossible for most people, but it worked perfectly for him.
"Master still has a way."
Han Xuanji toyed with the seed, a slight smile playing on her lips.
To be honest, if Han Xuanji were to ask for compensation, he wouldn't even know such a thing existed.
This is the foundation of an unparalleled power, and also the benefit of joining one.
Many treasures are only passed down among the top echelons of internal organizations, and even the most outstanding talents from top-tier forces cannot enjoy treasures of this level.
That's why, even if a supreme power stumbles, it's not something other powers can easily take advantage of.
Han Xuanji also benefited from being under a powerful patron, and once again thanked Lao Gu and Lao Chi.
He didn't delay any longer and took the Seed of Primordial Beginning into his body.
The moment the seed entered his stomach, an indescribable surge of vitality exploded within him, like all things growing wildly after a spring thunderclap.
That vitality is neither spiritual power nor Principle, but a more primal force, closer to "existence itself".
Wherever it flows, flesh, bones, meridians, and soul are reshaped and nourished.
Han Xuanji felt as if every inch of her body was cheering, as if parched land that had been thirsty for thousands of years had suddenly received a refreshing rain.
His aura also rose steadily, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him gathered frantically towards him. If it weren't for the restrictions Dustless Palace, it would probably have already caused strange celestial phenomena.
What captivated Han Xuanji even more was the primordial power contained within the seed.
Even though this wisp of power is extremely weak and somewhat deficient, its essence is a height that even the Holy Lord cannot reach.
It contains a wisp of the characteristics of the Eternal Divine Tree, the Power of Primordial Beginning.
Han Xuanji was immersed in it, and could sense that the Power of Primordial Beginning enveloped many fundamental forces of the Great Dao, perfectly merging together.
That fusion was not a simple superposition, but rather like countless colors being blended into a pure white light.
Every wisp of power carries the most primordial Daoist essence from the beginning of time, making it more complete and fundamental than the Principle he had cultivated in the past.
"So this is the beginning."
Han Xuanji murmured, his eyes reflecting the ever-shifting light, his heart filled with nothing but shock.
He used to think that he had already achieved great skill by unifying the ten top-level Dao paths.
But now, seeing the dozen or so elements within this seed perfectly integrated, he realized how insignificant he still was.
This is true advanced power, and he only has a superficial understanding of it.
"Perfect. If I can comprehend this Power of Primordial Beginning, my understanding of the essence of power will likely reach a new level."
Without the slightest hesitation, Han Xuanji eagerly immersed himself in comprehending the power, using the extraordinary comprehension brought by his Saint Soul Physique and Shengxin Dao Body to begin analyzing the essence of this Power of Primordial Beginning.
This meditative state lasted for a hundred years.
Three hundred years later, a very faint sound suddenly came from the Dustless Palace.
Han Xuanji awoke from her meditation, and the seven-colored light deep within her eyes slowly faded.
Over the course of hundreds of years, although he devoted most of his energy to studying this power, his cultivation level continued to rise, and he also absorbed the power of the Seed of Primordial Beginning.
He looked down at his hands and then slowly clenched them.
Without circulating his true energy or activating any Divine Ability, a chilling force emanated from his palm with just a thought.
He tried to take a small step, and when his toes touched the ground, the entire quiet room shook violently.
The protective array on the ground, powerful enough to withstand a full-force attack from Eternal Sage, developed spiderweb-like cracks under this single stomp.
Han Xuanji was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He had been in seclusion for too long, and his control over his own power was far from adequate.
Or rather, he hasn't yet figured out his own strength.
On the system panel, his realm had reached the Eternal True God Sixth Layer, only one step away from the seventh level, which is the gatekeeper of the Late-stage Eternal True God.
This progress is nothing special for him.
With the most outstanding talent, the most outstanding resources, and the most outstanding Cultivation Method, it would be strange if one's cultivation were slow.
