Han Xuanji pondered for a moment, then said to Little White Tiger:
"Do you know who the most powerful Cultivator in East Cangzhou is?"
"I don't know."
Little White Tiger shook his head and asked curiously:
"Who is it?"
"I don't know either."
Han Xuanji said indifferently:
"So, if you run into such a master, will you be able to recognize him?"
"What if this Yao King is the opponent's Yao Beast? Even if you win, what will be the final outcome?"
"It's fine if you really want to go out, but if you cause trouble, just don't use my name."
Upon hearing this, Little White Tiger immediately thought of the fate of those from Yu Yao Sect and quickly abandoned the idea of going out to roam.
"I was wrong, Master."
"Hmm."
"Cultivate with peace of mind. When you become the strongest Yao King in Taixu Spirit Realm, I won't stop you from venturing out."
Han Xuanji promptly drew a grand vision.
However, the emergence of this Yao King, and its connection to Nangong Wenjian, this Genius Sword Cultivator, indeed sparked widespread discussion.
After all, a Returning to Void Realm Yao King was quite terrifying.
Han Xuanji, however, felt nothing about it. The Yao Race forces in this world were not weak; they once stood as equals with the Human Race. It was only later that Human Race Prodigies emerged one after another, gradually gaining dominance over the continent, while a large number of Yao Race members were driven to Ten Thousand Demons State.
However, in various parts of the continent, some powerful Yao Kings still appeared.
These Yao Kings generally dared not launch large-scale attacks; they could only occupy a certain area and claim it as their territory. If they truly dared to massacre the Human Race on a large scale, the Human Race would naturally have Advanced Cultivators intervene.
Life within the Sect, though occasionally monotonous, the feeling of constantly growing stronger was incredibly fulfilling.
It was much more interesting than going out and engaging in battles.
....
Time flies in the mountains, and years pass unnoticed.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
On this day.
Han Xuanji slowly opened his eyes:
"Finally, I have reached Returning to Void Realm Perfection."
A smile appeared on his Face.
"As expected, cultivation slows down in the later stages. I didn't expect it would take me more than ten years to reach Perfection in the Returning to Void Realm."
Han Xuanji sighed softly, feeling a little emotional.
At this moment, Han Xuanji's Spiritual Qi within his body was like a vast river, and his Qi and blood had reached a Peak.
Cultivators who reached this Realm were already extraordinary, capable of destroying a large city with a mere lift of their hand.
"Since I've reached Perfection, I can consider a Breakthrough."
"Where should I undergo Tribulation this time?"
Han Xuanji pondered.
The Body Integration Tribulation was even more powerful and could not be taken lightly.
He still planned to use the Heavenly Vision Art to find a good place, and first recuperate for a period, adjusting his state to the best before proceeding.
He only hoped that this time there wouldn't be so many complications.
He just wanted to Breakthrough safely.
Just then, Little White Tiger excitedly ran over and said:
"Master, I found something good."
"What is it?"
"This token, it feels like a treasure."
Saying that, Little White Tiger pulled out a token from somewhere he knew not where.
Han Xuanji looked closely and felt it was very familiar.
"Isn't this an azure dragon manor token?"
He then remembered that he also had one, but this token had never reacted, and he had gradually almost forgotten about it.
It was said that only when all fated individuals obtained the tokens would the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode open.
At that time, many individuals with great Luck would gather at the Immortal Abode to contend for the Legacy.
"Keep it for now; this item will be very useful later."
Han Xuanji didn't say much more.
Little White Tiger nodded and then began to chatter about some gossip he had heard.
"It's said that the Yao King in Yong Province is connected to the Heavenly Demon Sect and is preparing to target the cities protected by Shenxuan Sect."
"Where did you hear this news from?"
Han Xuanji frowned and asked.
"Uh, Master, don't you have a good friend named Lu Fan?"
"It seems the news came from him. Many people in the Sect are discussing this matter now."
"But I heard that the Yao King said if Shenxuan Sect is willing to hand over two Disciples, he will stop."
"Which two?"
Han Xuanji asked, puzzled.
"One of them is Lu Fan, and the other is named Lin Potian."
Little White Tiger said without thinking.
"Ah?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred.
He hadn't expected these two to be connected.
However, he didn't think much of it and instead asked:
"The Sect couldn't possibly agree, could it?"
"Of course not. If they agreed, where would Shenxuan Sect put its Face?"
Little White Tiger had been in the human world for more than ten years and had also picked up some Human Race ways of thinking.
"A Returning Void Yao King shouldn't have the guts to provoke Shenxuan Sect. It seems this fellow has some backing."
Han Xuanji said calmly.
"Is the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty just going to sit by and do nothing?"
"Master, you don't know, but the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty is currently preoccupied and has no time to interfere with matters of the Cultivation world."
Little White Tiger said mysteriously:
"This generation's Ming Emperor is exceptionally talented and ambitious, and he is currently at his Peak. Since his ascension, he has issued numerous policies and established a Brocade-Clad Guard to supervise officials across the land. In just a hundred years, the national strength has already caught up to Great Xia. Now, the entire Imperial Dynasty is united as one, like an iron barrel, and naturally plans to expand. The first target is the southern region of Great Xia."
Han Xuanji was thoughtful.
On the Kyushu Continent, various nations stood side by side, and East Cangzhou was no different. Among them, Great Xia was the most powerful, occupying the area with the most abundant Spiritual Qi, while the Great Ming Imperial Dynasty was to the south of Great Xia, bordering the sea.
Han Xuanji had also heard that the reason for Great Ming's rapid rise was inseparable from the Hao Yue Divine Sect.
"It truly is a time of trouble."
Han Xuanji sighed softly, but his eyes had already returned to their calm state.
External conflicts and Dynastic changes, to him, were merely fleeting clouds passing by on the path to immortality.
What was most important now was to enter the Body Integration Realm.
His mind settled slightly, and he began to deduce the most suitable location for a Breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm.
Countless invisible lines of Karma, leyline spiritual pivots, and heaven and earth Qi rapidly passed through his consciousness, eliminating areas plagued by ominous forces, unstable Qi, or those that might attract powerful enemies.
A moment later, the light from his vertical eye solidified, pointing towards the southwest.
"Yong Province, Demon Sealing Mountain Range?"
Han Xuanji thought silently.
Legend has it that a peerless Devil Head was suppressed here, and its Devilish Qi had permeated the leylines for years. Some Yao Beasts in this area had been tainted by demonic influence, becoming extremely ferocious and often forming beast tides that endangered Human Race cities.
Ordinary Cultivators avoided it like the plague, though Disciples from some Righteous Path Sects would occasionally enter to slay Yao Beasts and eliminate Devils.
Ever since a Yao King took up residence there, this place had become a Forbidden Land in the eyes of many.
However, since he had reached Returning Void Perfection, he naturally wouldn't care about such a minor threat.
Heavenly Vision Art was his innate Divine Ability; it naturally wouldn't harm him.
"Little White."
Han Xuanji looked at Little White Tiger.
"Master?"
Little White Tiger immediately perked up his ears.
"Get ready, we're going to the Demon Sealing Mountain Range."
"Demon Sealing Mountain Range?!"
Little White Tiger's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:
"Are we going to exterminate that Yao King and then claim the mountain as our own?"
Perhaps it was an instinct of his Bloodline, but this little fellow was extremely enthusiastic about claiming mountains as territory.
"I'm going to undergo Tribulation. You can be my Protector. If there are any unobservant fellows, then you can take action."
Han Xuanji's tone was calm.
Upon hearing this, Little White Tiger didn't think much of it and quickly said:
"Yes, Master! Leave it to me!"
