Therefore, Han Xuanji was not arrogant. Although the Eternal True God seemed quite good, holding mid-to-high-level positions in many cities, he was also amazed when he first met the True God Black Rock after transcending the Celestial Person.
But now that he has joined the supreme power, he suddenly realized that although the Eternal True God cannot be called an ant, he is indeed nothing.
To attain a certain status, one must at least be Eternal Sage.
People like Senior Sister Leng Qianshuang and Gu Changfeng are all Eternal Sage, which is why they can truly stand alone.
Of course, cultivation level is one thing, and strength is another.
If anyone truly regards Han Xuanji as an ordinary Eternal True God, then they are sorely mistaken.
Although Han Xuanji was unsure of his current combat strength, the fact that his stomp had caused the array in the quiet room to tremble was a testament to his power.
This is an array capable of defending against even Eternal Sage; in other words...
"If he unleashes his full power, he might be able to fight a weaker Sage."
Han Xuanji muttered to himself, his eyes showing both surprise and a hint of disbelief.
This was only a century of seclusion, yet the changes it brought him were already so great that even he himself could hardly control them.
His current power has far exceeded the scope of what Eternal True God should possess.
He had previously thought that he could contend with Sage as True God, but now it seems that the word "possibly" can be discarded.
After a brief test, Han Xuanji had a clearer understanding of the changes within herself.
This century-long seclusion brought benefits to the Seed of Primordial Beginning seed that went far beyond the physical body.
He closed his eyes and looked inward, discovering that his soul, which was already much stronger than others of the same level, had now condensed into Dao's Extremity blurry golden dharma image.
The Dharma image sat upright in the center of the sea of consciousness, its entire body composed of divine soul power. Although it had not yet solidified, it already exuded an aura that silenced heaven and earth.
This is Saint Manifestation, something that should only exist when one's divine soul truly ascends to the level of Eternal Sage. He has now condensed the prototype of the Saint Manifestation.
With this Saint Manifestation, his divine soul was no longer merely powerful in terms of strength, but was fundamentally separated from the Eternal True God by an insurmountable chasm.
A Saint Manifestation not only possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities, but ordinary Eternal True God, when facing Eternal Sage, regardless of the difference in spiritual power quality and physical body, will be suppressed as if by a natural enemy. This is why it is said that a single step can create an insurmountable chasm.
What surprised him even more was the change on the main road.
The balance that once existed in ten parallel systems has been broken, but it has been replaced by a more harmonious order.
More than ten major paths, like more than ten rivers of varying sizes, converged again into a single whole.
Although the Daoist rhythms varied in strength, they meshed perfectly together, as if they were meant to be that way.
Han Xuanji feel that his true essence and Dao foundation were not mixed up because of the "abundance" of them, but instead became more pure and profound.
It's like pig iron being repeatedly forged, removing all impurities and becoming refined steel; now, new materials are added, and it's melted into an "alloy."
He took a deep breath, letting the change settle in his mind, and made plans in his heart.
If he were to confront a fully-fledged Eternal Sage head-on now, he would still be lacking in skill if he relied solely on conventional methods.
After all, Saint Realm experts have transcended the True God Realm and reached another level. Their physical bodies and souls have become extraordinary and saintly, and their Dao foundation is perfected. They have extremely high resistance to attacks on the mind, soul, and body.
Moreover, cultivators at this level usually possess some assets, including numerous divine weapons and magical Law Treasure. With his current strength, Han Xuanji estimated that it would be very difficult for him to kill a fully intact Sage head-on.
However, if one were to use the Shengxin Tribulation to catch the opponent off guard, victory might not be impossible.
After all, even though the mind and will of Sage far surpass those of True God, they are not monolithic.
In addition, with the holy weapons he obtained through daily check-ins, the outcome of a battle would only be known after the fight itself.
However, there's no need to fight an Eternal Sage right now.
For him, the most important thing is to push his cultivation to the True God Perfection. Only then, combined with the Shengxin Tribulation and various killing moves, will he truly have the trump card to contend with Sage.
More importantly, the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet was the stage where he could truly showcase his abilities.
If I can sign in a few more times at the banquet, I might even find an opportunity to break through to the level of Sage.
In spiritual practice, if you take one step fast, you'll take every step fast.
As Han Xuanji was pondering this, he suddenly noticed that a large number of people had gathered outside the quiet room.
His own disciples, as well as Li Taiqing, the Immortal Ancestor, the Supreme Lord, the Yuanshi Taishang, Tongtian, and others, all seemed somewhat worried. Some were anxious, while others looked towards the tightly closed palace gates, but none dared to step forward.
Han Xuanji understood; they must have been frightened by the commotion earlier.
He doesn't really know his limits when he tests his strength.
Now I'm almost able to control the power.
Han Xuanji smiled, then got up, pushed open the door, and went out.
The moment he stepped out of the Dustless Palace, a suppressed gasp rang out from outside.
Han Xuanji did not deliberately release his aura, but his body had just awakened from a century of seclusion, and a faint afterglow still lingered around him. Every move he made exuded a captivating aura.
His disciples all bowed down, and even the venerable elders like the Immortal Ancestor and the Taishang bowed slightly to him as a sign of respect.
"Master!"
Li Taiqing was the first to step forward, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
He felt both happy and amazed.
My master is truly becoming more and more revered.
Things were alright back in the Chaos, when everyone was at the same level, even though some of us were exceptionally talented.
Now that they've arrived on the Eternal Continent, Han Xuanji has left them far behind, so far that they can't even see his back.
As the eldest disciple, he's under a lot of pressure.
It wasn't due to Han Xuanji, but rather because there were too many other highly talented junior disciples and a bunch of experienced seniors around him, all of whom were cultivating with utmost seriousness. As the senior disciple, the pressure on him was unimaginable.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the stronger Han Xuanji was, the more secure they felt.
To be able to cultivate alongside such a person is a blessing that many people would rather die than attain.
Han Xuanji's gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on Li Taiqing, his smile gentle:
" Taiqing, you've had a hard time these past few days."
Over the years, Li Taiqing and others have successively entered the Eternal True Lord Realm, their talents beginning to show. Combined with the advanced Cultivation Method and secret arts they have mastered, their combat power is in no way inferior to the native geniuses of the Eternal Continent among those of the same level.
As Han Xuanji's eldest disciple, Li Taiqing also began to help manage the businesses he owned.
That's right. As a disciple personally taught by the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord, his master, the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord, had always bestowed gifts upon him to show his favor.
Moreover, it wasn't just the usual rewards; for example, when he cleared the Ten Directions Sacred Domain, the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord also bestowed upon him many things.
It has cultivation resources, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and some industries of Nine Mysteries City. The former are disposable items, while the latter are long-term income.
However, Han Xuanji naturally didn't have time to manage it herself, so she entrusted it to a trustworthy person.
"These are all my duties as a disciple, and I dare not complain of hardship."
Li Taiqing quickly said:
"But Master's commotion... was truly frightening. Everyone thought an enemy had attacked, and they almost unleashed their Law Treasure."
Just now, everyone was discussing and wanted to call the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord, but Li Taiqing still insisted that they should not rush, for fear of disturbing Han Xuanji.
As it turned out, his decision was correct, and Han Xuanji did not make any mistakes.
