"Mastering this inheritance will greatly enhance my power."
Han Xuanji actually has a problem now: the system rewards are too many, and the potential is limitless, but she lacks the time to explore them.
The Immortal Saint Emperor's inheritance is essentially a method for maximizing one's potential. It can completely unleash a cultivator's physical and mental potential in a very short time, allowing their reaction, speed, and strength to break through their limits and even exceed the constraints of their realm. This has reached a level that even he finds difficult to comprehend.
It's unknown how the Immortal Saint Emperor came to this understanding.
However, Han Xuanji had already learned it. Although he could only enter this state for a short time and it consumed a great deal of energy from his physical body and soul, it was enough for him to turn the tide in life-or-death situations.
Moreover, the true upper limit of this inheritance depends on the cultivator's control over their mind and body. The more steadfast and flawless the mind, and the stronger the body, the longer this state can be maintained.
If Han Xuanji could reach the Sage Realm Stage, he should be able to unleash the power of this inheritance to a greater extent.
He guessed that the Immortal Saint Emperor could probably control his power at will, and even maintain this battle mode on ordinary days.
Another twenty years have passed.
Han Xuanji has entered the void countless times.
On this day, he faced the deity in the painting once more. The deity's fist was still as heavy as a mountain, but his mind was as clear as a mirror, calmer than ever before.
The moment he threw the punch, he clearly caught that almost imperceptible change in rhythm, and his body reacted involuntarily, returning the punch in the same way.
The two fists collided in mid-air, silently, yet the entire space shattered simultaneously.
Han Xuanji felt a tremendous force pass through his body, but this time he was not thrown back; instead, he stood firmly in place.
The illusory figure opposite him slowly withdrew its fist, its blurry eyes seeming to nod at him, before its entire form turned into a shower of light and dust, dissipating into the void.
Han Xuanji opened his eyes, and the scroll of Divine Might Like a Prison Painting in front of him trembled slightly. The figure in the scroll still sat upright on the cloud, but his eyes seemed to have become a little gentler than before.
The moment Han Xuanji withdrew from the void, a clarity he had never felt before arose in his heart.
As he withdrew, the deity within the painting sent Dao's Extremity message at the last moment, indicating that Han Xuanji no longer needed to enter the world within the painting, as he could no longer teach Han Xuanji anything more.
The name of this lineage was also revealed to Han Xuanji.
" Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique "
Han Xuanji took a deep breath, opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright, and slowly uttered the name.
He felt a full and steady power within him, and was quite satisfied.
Although the Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique cannot be maintained for long and consumes a lot of energy, it is more than enough as a trump card.
More importantly, this Cultivation Method made his mental will more solid than before. The Shengxin Dao Body and the Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique complemented each other, making his reaction speed in daily combat much faster and his combat ability a significant step up from before.
Just as Han Xuanji was about to get up, the token on his wrist suddenly trembled slightly.
Leng Qianshuang's message arrived, its tone concise: [ The Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet is about to begin; proceed to the Nine Mysteries Hall immediately.]
Han Xuanji glanced at the time on the token, his heart stirred slightly, and he immediately got up and left the seclusion.
Nine Mysteries Hall, Mo Chenxiao and Leng Qianshuang were already waiting.
When the two saw Han Xuanji enter, their eyes fell on him simultaneously, scrutinizing him closely.
A hundred years is but a blink of an eye for cultivators, and normally the two of them wouldn't care. But Han Xuanji is different; he seems to improve considerably every time he goes into seclusion.
The two of them were also curious to see if he had changed at all.
Mo Chenxiao narrowed his eyes, looked at it several times, and suddenly said:
" Xuanji, you've broken through to a higher realm?"
Han Xuanji nodded:
"My cultivation has reached perfection, and my strength... has improved slightly."
Mo Chenxiao's lips twitched; he had learned not to easily believe his disciple's claims of "slight improvement."
Every time Han Xuanji said there was a slight improvement, the results were always significant.
This will probably bring him quite a surprise.
However, he was too lazy to ask further and simply waved his hand, saying:
"Okay, as long as you understand."
To be honest, although Han Xuanji was a reassuring disciple, I didn't feel a great sense of accomplishment.
After all, he didn't need to be taught; he could figure it out on his own and even become number one.
Han Xuanji remained noncommittal, knowing his master's temperament—not the type to insist on getting to the bottom of things, and not possessive—which made his life quite easy.
At this moment, Leng Qianshuang handed over a Jade Slip and said:
" The Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet will begin one month later at the Supreme Qian Dao Arena."
This is the list of representatives from all parties and the intelligence gathered. Please take a look.
Han Xuanji took the Jade Slip, probed it with his divine sense, and quickly went through its contents.
At this Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet, apart from the Sacred Court, the Dao Master, each of the nine supreme powers sent three people, while the other first-rate powers each sent one person.
The nine supreme powers are: Eternal Sword Pavilion, Eternal Divine Hall, Sacred Court, Eternal Chamber of Commerce, Eternal Empire, Great Brahma Ancestral Pavilion, Hongmeng Dao Palace, Myriad Ages Divine Palace, and Myriad Spirits Heavenly Domain...
As an emerging force, Hongmeng Dao Palace has the smallest territory, but its strength is not weak. The new generation of geniuses is the strongest, but in terms of its foundation, the most powerful are Eternal Sword Pavilion, Eternal Divine Hall and Sacred Court, all of which originated from the original supreme force, Eternal Sacred Domain.
It was only after the Eternal Sacred Domain split that the current situation of nine supreme powers standing side by side came about.
Han Xuanji focused her attention on several names.
Chen Xin, the Sword Scion of the Eternal Sword Pavilion, is said to be the purest sword cultivator in this generation of the Sword Pavilion. When he first entered the True God Realm, he broke through the defense of Sage with a single sword. His combat power is extremely terrifying, and some people call him the number one attacker of the contemporary era.
Feng Chenxin, the Holy Maiden of the Eternal Divine Hall, is the leader of the younger generation of the temple. She is extremely talented and is said to be cultivating the temple's oldest tradition. She has a deep connection with the first Holy Maiden.
But what Han Xuanji cared about most was the number one person in the Hongmeng Dao Palace. This person had emerged as a dark horse in the Hongmeng Dao Palace selection battle, defeating the original Dao Child Qingwei. And her identity was none other than the personal disciple of the Saint King Xiaoyao.
" Li Linglong..."
Han Xuanji's gaze lingered on those three words for a long while.
Disciple of Li Xiaoyao, the Saint King Xiaoyao.
It should be noted that the greatest regret of the Ten Directions Holy Lord was that he could not defeat Li Xiaoyao.
Now, Li Xiaoyao is the vice sect leader of the Hongmeng Dao Palace, an unparalleled expert at the Saint King realm, while the Ten Directions Holy Lord has long since perished.
A sense of destiny began to grow in Han Xuanji's heart.
Perhaps he will win the duel that spanned countless years for the Ten Directions Holy Lord at the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet.
Let's go.
Mo Chenxiao, seeing Han Xuanji deep in thought, spoke up to remind him.
"Good."
Han Xuanji nodded, showing no fear of the challenge.
Having mastered Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique, he is now very confident.
