Han Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered something else.
He hadn't originally planned to say it, but seeing the Immeasurable Saint Emperor open his heart to him...
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak anyway:
" Saint Emperor Majesty, there is one more thing, concerning Wan Zhu... This junior suspects that he may be the reincarnation of the Eternal Deity 'Zhu'."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor's hand paused slightly.
He looked up, and for the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
However, the surprise lasted only a moment, and was quickly replaced by a thoughtful expression.
It wasn't that Wan Zhu was shocked that he had anything to do with "candle," but rather how Han Xuanji knew this information.
How did you find out about this?
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor meant to explain why Han Xuanji had doubts, but Han Xuanji misunderstood it as the Saint Emperor and the others already knowing and confirming that they had other plans.
Therefore, Han Xuanji spoke frankly and openly:
"This junior possesses a special talent that allows me to glimpse information invisible to others. Based on my observation, the other party likely fused a portion of their true spirit with that of a cultivator, thereby deceiving karma and escaping unscathed."
Han Xuanji didn't elaborate, but the meaning was clear enough.
The so-called leaving no trace and severing cause and effect... is not absolute. Everyone has cause and effect. Cultivators who have reached a certain level mostly have similar methods to conceal or obscure cause and effect. In fact, some peerless geniuses have infinite possibilities and are surrounded by great fortune and are shrouded by a huge Power of Fate. Even cultivators of the Dao of Fate Destiny at the Saint King Realm find it difficult to see through the cause and effect.
But everything is relative. If we're talking about beings above the Saint King level, with even higher-level methods, they would be perfectly aware of these things.
Han Xuanji had actually taken a considerable risk.
However, the Immeasurable Saint Emperor didn't find it too strange. If he said that Han Xuanji gotten to where he was today entirely on his own merits, with no secrets, no one would believe him.
This behavior, on the contrary, shows that he is extremely trusted.
This pleased even the Immeasurable Saint Emperor, and his goodwill towards Han Xuanji increased once again.
Anyone would be moved by such trust.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"In fact, I and several other Saint Venerable have long suspected that Wan Zhu's behavior at the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet was too abnormal, especially his interaction with Li Linglong. However, based on these alone, it is not enough to conclude that he is Zhu."
"The methods used by Primordial Eternal Deity to reincarnate are extremely secretive, and even cultivators of the Dao of Fate may not be able to see through them."
He looked at Han Xuanji, his gaze deep:
"And you just said that he was a partial reincarnation of his true spirit?"
"This junior has a fairly good guess."
Han Xuanji naturally couldn't speak too definitively, and some of her statements were indeed just speculation:
"A portion of the true spirit enters the cycle of reincarnation to experience cultivation, while the other part of the original body remains deep in the Desolate Domain to guard it."
This way, he can avoid the risk of losing his powers upon complete reincarnation, and also personally contact the people he wants to contact.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor pondered for a long while, then slowly nodded:
"That's certainly a possibility. Candle is one of the oldest beings among the Eternal Deity. If he truly reincarnated as a part of his true spirit, it would definitely have a significant impact on his power..."
He paused, his tone becoming more serious:
Have you said this to anyone else?
Han Xuanji quickly shook her head, indicating:
"This disciple has never spoken to anyone else, and this is merely this disciple's speculation, speculation."
"Um..."
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor clearly did not believe Han Xuanji's evasive words, and said in a deep voice:
"I will discuss this matter with others; you don't need to mention it to anyone else."
After a moment of silence, the Immeasurable Saint Emperor chuckled:
"If what you say is true, perhaps your wish can really come true."
"?"
Han Xuanji nodded subconsciously at first, then realized what the Immeasurable Saint Emperor meant by his wish.
Are we really going to go this far?
That's a bit scary.
However, the Immeasurable Saint Emperor didn't rule out the possibility of anything being wrong; perhaps it was just a joke?
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor did not detain Han Xuanji any longer.
He sat back down in the main seat, his tone returning to its usual casualness:
"If you need anything, just come to me. As for the candle, don't investigate it yourself; leave it to me."
Han Xuanji nodded in agreement.
He thought to himself that he originally intended to keep this matter to himself, since it involved a Primordial Eternal Deity, and the slightest carelessness could backfire.
But then I thought, I can't just let them get away with it.
If Zhu really has some kind of scheme, it might affect him in the future.
Rather than waiting to deal with it passively later, it's better to pass this hot potato to the Immeasurable Saint Emperor now.
As for how the Saint Emperor will use this information, that's beyond his control.
The Immeasurable Saint Emperor added another sentence:
"You are welcome to come to the Hunyuan Hall to cultivate at any time. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask. Treat yourself as your own home."
Han Xuanji thanked him, then turned and walked outside.
His steps were unhurried, his expression calm and composed, but as he was about to leave, he silently murmured to himself:
"System, check-in."
Three system notifications exploded in his mind almost simultaneously.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Twelve-Star Check-in Site " Immeasurable Space " and obtained the entry " Immeasurable Huntian Physique ".]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Twelve Star Check-in Site " Immeasurable Space " and have obtained the " Immeasurable Ruler ".]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Twelve-Star Check-in Site " Immeasurable Space " and have obtained the Cultivation Method " Hundred-Turn Immeasurable Instruction ".]
Han Xuanji paused for a moment, then resumed her normal pace.
He pushed open the door and walked out, stopping only on the white jade steps outside the hall, where he let out a deep breath.
Three hundred thousand Eternal Point Count emptied most of his savings. But it was worth it.
He looked at the entry first.
The Immeasurable Huntian Physique shares the same name as the physique cultivated by the Immeasurable Saint Emperor.
This is no coincidence; the rewards given by the system for daily check-ins are often closely related to the core essence of the check-in location.
The Hunyuan Hall is the main venue of the Immeasurable Saint Emperor, and the Immeasurable Space is where he resides year-round. The Dao essence accumulated there is naturally inseparable from the Immeasurable Saint Emperor.
[ Immeasurable Huntian Physique: Wuliang spirit and soul, primordial and unhindered, one with Celestial Person. In the realm of the spirit and soul, it is a supreme physique, the most perfect answer. With this physique, one can break free from constraints and attain one's true self.]
"Is this physique the ultimate answer for cultivators of the Divine Soul path?"
Han Xuanji seemed thoughtful, but didn't find anything wrong with the system's description.
Even without considering the future, the Immeasurable Saint Emperor's current achievements have already surpassed those of countless others.
With their talent, reaching the Absolute Peak Saint King is not a problem, and there is a possibility that they will take the next step in the future.
However, for Han Xuanji, this topic was a bit too far off.
Regardless, if Han Xuanji's talent continues to increase after incorporating this term, it will definitely be a significant boost to his abilities.
