"There are still a hundred simulations remaining; I'll accumulate them for now."
Han Xuanji's mind stirred slightly. Based on past experiences simulating Lin Feng and others, the more simulation attempts consumed, the more generous the rewards tended to be, and the higher the likelihood of touching upon high-level rewards.
For someone like him who had already reached the Limitless Primordial Realm, the cumulative rewards from a mere hundred simulations offered limited benefits; it was better to save them for a critical moment or accumulate a more substantial number to seek a qualitative change.
"Furthermore, now that I've stepped into the Limitless Primordial Realm, I don't need to worry too much anymore..."
Han Xuanji's eyes were deep as he thought about his previous actions.
In the past, he had intentionally reduced the frequent use of the sign-in System's functions because many legacy sites in Secret Realms containing top-tier dao-rhythm often had broad implications; they were either the dojos of certain ancient beings or were linked to significant Karma and Luck. Touching them recklessly could easily lead to unnecessary disturbances. Of course, the main reason was that, in comparison, the simulation function offered maximum safety and could provide a wealth of information about the future.
"Now that my strength and status are public, although I've lost that composure of being hidden behind the scenes, I no longer need to walk on thin ice. Many places I previously had to cautiously avoid, I can now visit openly."
"However, when I made my move earlier, there were a few gazes that caught my attention..."
Han Xuanji silently recalled that moment; many great experts of the Immortal Realm had witnessed his move. And among them, there was one gaze that he found particularly noteworthy. If he wasn't mistaken, the owner of that gaze was most likely the legendary Heavenly Emperor who had vanished at the end of the ancient era and whose whereabouts had been unknown since the collapse of the Heavenly Court.
It seemed this ancient Immortal Realm Supreme might have quietly returned long ago, hiding somewhere in the Immortal Realm, coldly watching the changing winds and waiting for an Opportunity.
In the simulations, the Heavenly Emperor appeared exactly when the Immortal Realm fell into crisis, winning over the people's hearts with extreme speed. In the end, it seemed like they perished together, but in reality, he was most likely liberated from his shackles.
However, this Heavenly Emperor was probably quite bewildered at the moment.
Because Han Xuanji's appearance had undoubtedly completely disrupted the plans of many great experts; who could have imagined that Han Xuanji had already quietly reached the Limitless Primordial Realm?
"For the next step, I should only need to wait quietly."
Han Xuanji silently deduced the future; even if the heavenly secrets were obscured, in the eyes of a Limitless Primordial Realm Powerful Expert, many things were much clearer than before. He stopped thinking and silently comprehended the Dao, the chaos green lotus beneath him blooming with green light.
Since Han Xuanji's promotion to Limitless Primordial Realm, the chaos green lotus had also gained immense benefits; it not only assisted in Dao comprehension, but its offensive and defensive power was now comparable to a Primordial Chaos supreme treasure, enough to be called an Innate Chaos Supreme Treasure...
Immortal Realm, Nine Heavens, Ancient Heavenly Court.
Lingxiao Palace.
The towering palace was shrouded in eternal radiance and swirling Heavenly Dao purple Qi, showing no signs of ruin.
Legend said the Ancient Heavenly Court had collapsed, but in reality, over the long years, the ruins had long been reshaped by endless time and great power; it only lacked the past grandeur of ten thousand immortals paying homage, replaced by a sense of ancient silence and majesty.
Outside the hall, over a dozen figures gathered at this time. These figures' auras were as deep as the abyss and the sea; they were all ancient immortals and gods who had stepped into the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm, the true foundation supporting the continued existence of the concept of the "Heavenly Court." It was precisely because of their existence that the Heavenly Court had never been forgotten by sentient beings.
Each of them was a figure who had shaken the heavens during the ancient period, and now they had returned. Among them, some did not have auras at their Peak state, while others had powerful auras.
The figure of the Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God was also among them; in the ancient war, his injuries were the lightest, so he recovered extremely quickly.
The immortals and gods remained silent, but their Divine Thoughts intertwined, quickly exchanging information.
"The Demon Race suffered a setback this time; the Great Heavenly Demon's Incarnation was slain, and the Demon Ancestor's thought was forced back. For us, this has indeed reduced a lot of pressure."
"However, such a variable has suddenly entered the field; the direction of the future Great Tribulation is becoming increasingly difficult to calculate."
"Whether he is friend or foe still needs to be clarified."
One figure raised a concern, clearly having done a lot of research:
"From what I've seen, this person has been planning for a long time. Not only is he cultivating in the Land of Tribulation and recruiting Persons of Tribulation, but he is also actively nurturing Persons of Tribulation with the intent to control the Human Race and other forces. He is by no means simply playing in the Mortal World."
"Things have reached this point and have surpassed our control; we must ask His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor to make a decision."
Before long, everyone made up their minds. If a Celestial Golden Immortal Realm Powerful Expert was disrupting the situation, they could still control it, but this was a Limitless Primordial Realm existence, which had far exceeded their expectations. More importantly, everything about Han Xuanji was too mysterious; they could not deduce any information, nor did they dare to deduce information about such an existence. Not long after, the Ninth Heaven Demon-Suppressing Jade True God and three other God Emperor-level deities activated the trump card left by the Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, everyone waited quietly, as if waiting for a certain existence to appear. Before long. Above the Heavenly Emperor's throne in the Lingxiao Palace, which had been empty for untold eons and seemed to have merged with the Heavenly Emperor himself, a hazy clear light rippled without warning.
Within the clear light, a figure whose majesty was beyond words slowly condensed.
He was not a physical entity but more like the manifestation of a phantom will, his face blurred, with only a pair of eyes being particularly noteworthy: the left eye seemed to contain infinite wisdom capable of seeing through the thoughts of the Nine Heavens' immortals and gods, while the right eye reflected the myriad phenomena of the Mortal World, watching over the living beings of the myriad realms.
As soon as he appeared, the vast dao-rhythm permeating the Lingxiao Palace became solemn, and all the ancient immortals and gods bowed their heads slightly to show their respect.
The gaze of the Heavenly Emperor's will swept over everyone but did not speak.
At this time, a figure shrouded in starlight spoke slowly, his voice gentle:
"Your Majesty, do you know this person's origin? I observe that his Dao is inclusive and eclectic, with a faint trend of merging all laws to become the source of all methods. He is definitely not any known ancient Dao Venerable."
The Heavenly Emperor's will did not reply immediately but looked beyond the heavens.
After a long time, a peaceful yet unquestionable Dao-voice containing heavenly majesty echoed within the Lingxiao Palace:
"This person possesses a Supreme treasure, and all heavenly secrets regarding him are undetectable. He is a newly ascended Limitless Primordial Dao Venerable. His Dao is named 'Xuantian,' and he can be called 'Xuantian Dao Venerable'."
"Xuantian Dao Venerable..."
Everyone silently repeated the name, etching it into their hearts, while also feeling curious about what kind of Dao the Xuantian Great Dao was and why they had never heard of it before.
"Xuantian Dao Venerable has some Karma with the two Dao Venerables of our Immortal Dao and has a grudge of obstructing the Dao with the Demon Ancestor. Therefore, his move this time is not surprising; you all need not worry too much."
The words of the Heavenly Emperor's will were like a final verdict, dispelling the many doubts churning in the hearts of everyone in the hall.
Although the Heavenly Emperor did not say much, everyone already knew the standpoint of this Xuantian Dao Venerable.
"So that's how it is... he is actually a newly ascended Dao Venerable."
The figure shrouded in starlight had a flash of realization and amazement in his eyes.
"To be able to prove the Limitless Primordial Dao in this age and take that ultimate step, his talent, Comprehension Ability, and Opportunity are likely rare throughout the ages."
"The Dao title of 'Xuantian'... indeed has the spirit of encompassing everything and becoming its own source!"
