"I've done everything I can," Han Xuanji sighed.
Looking at the Demon Sealing Mountain Range, which was completely different from before, he speculated that in the future, it might attract some Cultivators to establish a Sect there.
After all, without the Devilish Qi contamination, this place could be considered a treasure land.
Finally, Han Xuanji also strengthened the Seal of the Demon Sealing Land.
Although he was only at the Body Integration Realm, the power of the demon suppression seal was not to be underestimated; unless it was a strong practitioner of the Ascension Realm, the Seal would be completely unshakable. There was no need to worry about just anyone being able to destroy the Seal, leading to the Demon Race invading the world again.
Suddenly.
A clap of thunder.
Han Xuanji looked over, only to see lightning seemingly tear through space, and a black crack appeared.
After a long while.
A figure stepped out from within. Under the illumination of the lightning, a man with an ordinary appearance but resolute eyes was revealed. He was currently carrying significant injuries, and his aura was unstable, clearly having paid a huge price to appear here.
Han Xuanji frowned and threw out a probe.
Zhou Li, ninth layer of the Soul Transformation Realm, is a person of great Luck from a Mortal Realm. His Aptitude is mediocre, and his personality is steady. In his youth, he accidentally obtained a Heaven Realm treasure. He spent five hundred years, cultivating step by step from a Mortal to the peak of the Mortal Realm. Guided by Heaven and Earth in the dark, and influenced by an Immortal Artifact, he Ascended to the Taixu Spirit Realm.
Han Xuanji was stunned.
A person of great Luck, a Mortal cultivating to become an Immortal?
Five hundred years to reach the ninth layer of Soul Transformation.
This speed, in fact, was not slow even in the Taixu Spirit Realm; in the Mortal Realm, this speed should have created history.
Zhou Li immediately set up a concealment Formation, then took out a Medicinal Pill for healing from his storage Magic Treasure.
"I didn't expect Ascension to be so dangerous."
Zhou Li couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. If he hadn't steadily raised his Cultivation to the ninth layer of Soul Transformation, an ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivator would absolutely not have been able to successfully survive to the Spirit Realm.
"Judging by the richness of the Spiritual Qi here, it far surpasses my previous world. Could this be the Immortal Realm?"
"Will there be Immortals in this world?"
Han Xuanji was not aware of what Zhou Li was thinking.
But he could roughly guess what the other party was thinking.
"A person of great Luck… Heaven Realm treasure."
Han Xuanji pondered, wondering whether or not to kill and seize the treasure.
However, after thinking carefully, he felt that it was better not to take the risk.
It took five hundred years to reach the ninth layer of Soul Transformation, and he was a person of great Luck. Presumably, the other party's Golden Finger was just so-so.
God knows if this person of great Luck is easy to kill. Anyway, he already has a System and even three Immortal Artifacts, so there's no need to be fixated on any Heaven Realm treasures.
After thinking for a moment, Han Xuanji ignored him and instead, along with Little White Tiger, fled towards the Shenxuan Sect.
"I didn't expect to encounter an Ascender."
Little White Tiger spoke at this moment.
Han Xuanji asked, "What, are Ascenders very rare?"
"Of course, they are very rare. It's hard to see one in ten thousand years. After all, it's harder for Mortal Cultivators to Ascend than for us to Ascend to the Immortal Realm."
Little White Tiger said.
"However, in my memories of the White Tiger clan, I can find that every Ascender, as long as they don't fall, can generally achieve brilliant accomplishments."
Han Xuanji nodded:
"To be able to Cultivate to this level in the Mortal Realm and come to the Spirit Realm, it's naturally like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, a hidden Dragon entering the sea, unstoppable."
However, Han Xuanji was not worried.
He was already at the Body Integration Realm; even in the entire Taixu Spirit Realm, he could be considered a strong practitioner. Regardless of how powerful the strongest practitioner on this continent was, at least within the Sect, he should be considered a top-tier combat force.
And the Heavenly Demon Sect only had three Body Integration Realm strong practitioners on the surface: the Sect Leader, the Vice Sect Leader, and the Grand Elder. These three Body Integration strong practitioners dominated the North Underworld State. Although the Heavenly Demon Sect's hidden strength was unclear, at least with Han Xuanji's combat power, he should be comparable to the top-tier combat power on the surface.
At least Han Xuanji felt that he should no longer fear the Heavenly Devil Sect Leader. Even if he Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, he would still have the power to fight, unlike before when there was no hope of victory at all.
The rising sun streaked across the night sky.
In less than half a day, he had already returned to the Shenxuan Sect.
After reaching the Body Integration Realm, his speed was also much faster than before. He didn't need to travel at full speed; in a single day, he could traverse the entire Great Xia Imperial Dynasty, or even cross an entire State.
This time, looking at the Sect with the perspective of a Body Integration Realm practitioner, Han Xuanji discovered…
The Shenxuan Sect had indeed declined.
Because the entire Sect only had two Body Integration Realm auras, and one of them was very old, it was unknown how much combat power he could still exert. It was very likely that after a few moves, he would fall.
The other person had just Breakthrough, and his Realm was even lower than his.
"Sigh."
Han Xuanji sighed.
He hadn't expected that without realizing it, he might have become the strongest practitioner in the Sect.
Of course, it was also possible that the Sect still had strong practitioners hidden, whom he hadn't discovered, or that there were strong practitioners traveling outside.
If it truly came to a life-or-death situation, some Old Ancestors might return.
Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Sect also didn't dare to directly erupt in a great battle, presumably wanting to slowly figure out the Shenxuan Sect's strength.
Arriving at Lingyun Palace, Han Xuanji silently recited:
"System, what Rank of Dao Imbued Land is this place?"
Three-star Dao Imbued Land. Currently, most of the Dao Imbuement has been exhausted. Please find the next check-in location as soon as possible.
"Hmm."
Han Xuanji was not surprised.
"System, check in."
Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in at Lingyun Palace and receiving a box of "Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
"It's not bad."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
By now, ordinary Spirit Stones were of no help to his Cultivation, but Top-Grade Spirit Stones were undoubtedly very useful Cultivation resources; the more, the better.
Even at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, they would be useful.
.....
One year later.
Shenxuan Sect, Han Xuanji's Immortal Cave.
The Immortal Cave remained as quiet as ever, with only the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi flowing slowly, and Han Xuanji's even and long breaths.
He sat cross-legged on a futon, his body enveloped in a faint dark golden halo.
The Cultivation of the Demon Suppression Golden Body was nearing Major Achievement. His Qi and blood were like a Dragon, surging and roaring like a river and sea. Each circulation made his Physical Body stronger, and the indestructible luster on his body became more solid.
"Not bad. If I Breakthrough to Major Achievement, with just my Physical Body, I should be comparable to a strong practitioner of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm."
Han Xuanji thought silently.
This was not surprising; his current Physique was already extremely powerful, and he had consumed an unknown number of Heaven And Earth Treasures.
It was just that during past battles, almost no one could injure him, so the strength of his Physical Body was not fully demonstrated.
At the same time.
Shenxuan Sect, Demon Suppression Abyss.
This place was one of the Sect's highest secrets, with layers of Restrictions laid down by successive experts above the Returning to Void Realm, and even the Sect's Luck suppressing it.
Deep within the abyss was a void space that had been forcibly Sealed.
At this moment, it was emitting a suffocatingly terrifying aura.
A phantom was entwined by countless profound golden rune chains, tightly restrained.
"Finally, is it coming?"
This phantom was a wisp of the Heavenly Demon's core remnant soul, which the Shenxuan Sect had Sealed at a great cost.
Although this Demon only had a remnant soul left, its Rank was extremely high, and the Devilish Qi it contained was enough to corrupt a Returning Void Cultivator. Once it broke free, the consequences would be unimaginable.
