Leng Qianshuang had long since vaguely realized that, given Han Xuanji's growth rate, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed her.
But when that moment actually arrived, she realized she wasn't nearly as happy as she had imagined.
It's not jealousy.
It feels like you're working hard to learn and improve yourself, and you've clearly put in a lot of effort, but the person behind you catches up with you in the blink of an eye.
However, she was genuinely happy to see Han Xuanji successfully break through.
She exhaled softly, suppressing her complex emotions, and smiled slightly.
As for Mo Chenxiao, he no longer needs to pretend.
He stood beside Han Xuanji with his hands behind his back, a smile never fading from his face.
"How do you know I have a disciple who just won the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet, and then immediately became a saint right there at the banquet, breaking through three realms in one go?"
Such a spectacle was unprecedented in the entire history of the Sacred Court.
Mo Chenxiao was already thinking about which of his friends had missed the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor glanced in the direction of Han Xuanji from afar, nodded slightly, and then turned and left.
His expression, however, was unreadable.
Several hall masters watched the Saint Emperor's departing figure from afar, and secretly speculated in their hearts.
Does Saint Emperor Majesty dislike Han Xuanji's flamboyant manner?
But judging from the Saint Emperor's expression when he clapped just now, it didn't seem like it.
They guessed and guessed, but couldn't figure it out.
The young talents in the arena, however, could no longer sit still.
Seeing the extraordinary phenomenon of Han Xuanji's breakthrough, Di Shengtian gritted his teeth and secretly resolved to immediately go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the Sage Realm Stage after returning home.
The other prodigies exchanged glances, all harboring the same thought.
Han Xuanji become a saint on the spot during a banquet. Although they couldn't do something as exaggerated as that, they couldn't fall too far behind.
In a short time, more and more people left, and the dojo was mostly deserted.
The Saint King Xiaoyao glanced at Li Linglong beside him, and seeing a hint of interest in her eyes, he smiled, closed his folding fan, and said:
"Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back."
He had originally intended to stay and probe Wan Zhu's background, but Wan Zhu had already quietly left under the escort of the Myriad Gods Sect elders, and his whereabouts were unknown.
The Saint King Xiaoyao secretly kept this person in mind, planning to send someone to investigate him later.
When Han Xuanji opened his eyes, only his master, senior sister, and Little White remained by his side.
Little White was lying on his knees, its two round eyes staring at him intently, looking extremely well-behaved.
Han Xuanji rubbed its head, then immediately focused his mind on his own Saint Manifestation.
Generally speaking, the Saint Manifestation condensed by cultivators of the Dao of Principle is closely related to the Great Dao they cultivate.
Cultivators who practice the path of thunder often possess Saint Manifestation imbued with characteristics of justice, power, and punishment, presenting a solemn and majestic appearance entwined with lightning.
Those who cultivate the Dao of the Five Elements often possess Saint Manifestation that embodies the flow and endless generation of the Five Elements.
However, Han Xuanji's main cultivation path was the Dao of Mystic Heaven, a path he had forged himself, unprecedented in history.
His Saint Manifestation thus took on an unprecedented appearance.
It was a humanoid phantom sitting in the center of the sea of consciousness, its entire body silver-gold, and its face exactly the same as Han Xuanji's.
But upon closer inspection, the phantom was not still. Ten different colored lights flowed around it, representing the ten laws of reincarnation, destiny, time and space, Sword Dao, stars, the five elements, yin and yang, life and death, destruction, and creation. These ten Principle intertwined around the Saint Manifestation like ten threads, forming a perfect closed loop.
At the deepest part of the Saint Manifestation, a silver-white light point floated silently.
That is the Power of Mystic Heaven, the source and destination of all of Han Xuanji's Dao Principles.
It is neither born Imperishable, neither increases nor decreases, encompassing all ten Principle and endowing them with a completely new order.
Han Xuanji studied it for a moment, and gradually understood.
The biggest difference between his Saint Manifestation and others lies in the word "return to oneness".
The Saint Manifestation of others is the ultimate manifestation of a certain Principle, while his Saint Manifestation is the destination of all laws.
Others' Saint Manifestation are like towering trees, but his Saint Manifestation are like a forest, with each tree representing him, coexisting and complementing each other.
Feeling the surging power within him, Han Xuanji took a deep breath and slowly calmed his turbulent emotions.
The third level of the Eternal Sage – this was a speed he had never dared to imagine before.
He originally thought that it would take at least several hundred years of refinement to break through to the Sage, but he never expected that a Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet would push him to this position.
Of course, he himself was also aware that he would need time to process and digest the information.
As he was thinking, he noticed a series of system notifications suddenly popping up.
[Host Han Xuanji has been detected to have reached the Eternal Sage. System functions are now unlocked.]
[Your daily Eternal Point Count will be multiplied by ten.]
[The daily check-in feature has been upgraded. You can now check in at Daoist Lands of eleven stars or higher, and you can choose to spend more points to receive rewards that are more suitable for you.]
[The exploration function has been upgraded. You can now obtain more information from powerful cultivators through this function, and you can also obtain additional information by consuming points.]
[The concealment function has been upgraded; if you wish, even cultivators stronger than you will not be able to fully perceive your situation.]
[Simulation function upgraded! You can now simulate more powerful cultivators, with reduced point costs and increased simulation rewards.]
[You have received a system upgrade notification: Go to the Eternal Divine Tree Origin Space and complete a daily check-in.]
Upon seeing this information, Han Xuanji's heart stirred.
The daily Eternal Point Count are multiplied by ten, and this boost is extremely crucial.
Before this, he could only get one Eternal Point Count per day, and signing in would cost hundreds or thousands of points. Although he could barely make ends meet by using them sparingly, he was often short of funds.
Now, at 10 AM every day, the accumulation speed is ten times faster, and the efficiency of future sign-in can be further improved.
Signing in at Dao-rich lands with eleven stars or higher was something he had been eagerly anticipating for a long time.
He remembered that the Immeasurable Saint Emperor had just told him to go find the other party.
You can sign in then.
More information can be obtained from powerful cultivators.
This reminded him of when he used the system to investigate Hui Feng, Wan Zhu, and others. Although the information provided by the system was detailed, there were always some key points that were ambiguous.
Now that the system has been upgraded, we may be able to learn more about these strange entities in the future.
