Su Ming and Li Changsheng, these two individuals of great Luck, have returned from the Lower Realm after eradicating demons. Having endured bloody battles, their temperaments have become even more steady and sharp, and their combat prowess is astonishing. They jointly slew a True Immortal Rank Demon Race member in the Lower Realm, and their names have begun to spread in the Immortal Dao of the Upper Realm.
"Junior Brother Su, I trust you have been well."
Han Xuanji smiled slightly, inviting him to sit down.
"Thanks to Senior Brother's blessings, although this demon eradication in the Lower Realm was a near-death experience, I have gained quite a lot!"
Su Ming spoke with excitement, then began to enthusiastically recount his experiences from a hundred years of training.
He spoke of joining forces with Li Changsheng, the series of bloody battles they endured in that Small World corrupted by the Demon Race, and the peril they faced when encountering a True Immortal Rank Devil Head. Fortunately, he had the movement Divine Ability that Han Xuanji had taught him previously.
He also spoke of the insights and Breakthroughs he gained while teetering on the brink of life and death. Finally, he encountered a series of Opportunities in that Small World and obtained a Golden Immortal Legacy, his words impassioned and vivid.
"As expected of someone with great Luck."
Han Xuanji listened quietly, pondering inwardly.
A Heavenly Immortal dared to provoke a True Immortal Demon Race, escaped multiple times, and ultimately counter-killed.
"Speaking of which, the reason I was able to turn danger into safety repeatedly this time was largely due to Senior Brother's guidance back then; otherwise, I fear I would have perished long ago."
Su Ming said with emotion, his tone sincere.
After Su Ming had roughly finished recounting his hundred years of experiences, a mysterious look appeared on his face, and he carefully took an item from his storage Magic Treasure.
It was an inconspicuous object, about the size of a fist, irregularly shaped, entirely red, with a smooth surface. It emitted no dazzling light or powerful energy fluctuations, much like an ordinary stone picked up casually.
"Senior Brother, this is something I obtained deep within a Legacy."
Su Ming handed the object to Han Xuanji, his expression a mix of confusion and solemnity.
"I felt it was extraordinary, so I kept it, but no matter what method I used to investigate, or even asking Junior Brother Li to sense it with his mind's eye, I couldn't find anything special about it.
However, for it to exist in such a place, it is certainly no ordinary item.
After much thought, perhaps only Senior Brother you can uncover its mystery. I offer this object to Senior Brother; perhaps it will be useful to you."
Han Xuanji's gaze fell on the reddish stone. At first glance, using his Profound Immortal Divine Sense, it was, as Su Ming said, completely normal.
But his mind stirred slightly, and he activated the power of his double pupils to observe it again.
This time, he caught a glimpse of a clue.
Deep within the stone's core, it was not a material structure, but an extremely faint, yet ancient imprint containing an indescribable Dao rhyme.
This was a Legacy imprint.
Activating it would not be easy.
Han Xuanji thought for a moment, then infused his Immortal Qi into it. His Immortal Qi was special, much stronger than Su Ming's. If even he couldn't meet the requirements, he wouldn't know what to do.
"Boom!"
The moment the Immortal Qi touched the imprint, the reddish stone, which had been dormant for eons, seemed to awaken suddenly.
A vast and ethereal insight, pointing directly to the Origin of the Great Dao, surged into Han Xuanji's Sea of Consciousness.
In an instant, Han Xuanji felt as if his Divine Soul had wandered through the Great Void, transcending the material world. He saw a blurry figure of an ancient Saint sitting in Chaos, reciting true words, expounding the supreme profound method of wandering through the Great Void and comprehending the Origin of all Daos!
Innumerable profound methods on how to more deeply align with the Heavenly Dao, how to capture the trajectory of Laws, and how to improve the efficiency of comprehending the Dao, were deeply imprinted in his Divine Soul like a brand.
Han Xuanji slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of surprise and understanding in his gaze.
This method was called the "Great Void Dao Comprehension Scroll," created by a powerful being. This stone should not have been left by this powerful being, but rather, a creature that heard the lecture recorded this memory.
As expected of a treasure obtained by someone with great Luck through life and death. The other party could not use it at this stage; it should be that the mystery of this object can only be unveiled after Su Ming grows stronger.
Han Xuanji looked at Su Ming and said solemnly:
"Junior Brother Su, this item is indeed extraordinary. It contains an extremely ancient Saint method for comprehending the Dao, which is no small Opportunity."
Su Ming was first stunned, then overjoyed:
"Senior Brother can truly uncover its mysteries?
Haha, that's great!
This item was gathering dust in my hands; it can now shine brightly with Senior Brother."
He was genuinely happy for Han Xuanji.
Han Xuanji nodded: "I will teach you this method of comprehending the Dao."
With that, he pointed his fingers like a sword, condensing the profound essence of the "Great Void Dao Comprehension Scroll" at his fingertip, and gently tapped Su Ming's glabella.
Su Ming's body trembled. He felt a vast yet gentle intent surge into his Sea of Consciousness. It wasn't a forceful indoctrination, but rather like unfolding a supreme Dao scroll, presenting all the key points and insights of the "Great Void Dao Comprehension Scroll" with unparalleled clarity in his mind.
This method directly points to the Origin and is of great benefit to cultivating any Great Dao.
A moment later, Han Xuanji withdrew his finger.
Su Ming closed his eyes and focused, carefully digesting the incredibly precious Legacy in his mind. A look of immense surprise and shock gradually appeared on his face.
He hadn't expected Han Xuanji to so easily share such a supreme Legacy with him.
After all, this item was originally given to Han Xuanji by him.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and bowed deeply to Han Xuanji, his voice excited and sincere:
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for the grace of imparting the Dao!"
Afterward, Su Ming chatted for a while, then left contentedly. He also needed to make final preparations for the upcoming Seven Peaks Tournament.
From Su Ming's words, Han Xuanji also learned many external rumors.
It is said that a belief is gradually gaining traction within the Immortal Dao.
The Ancient Heavenly Emperor is to return in this epoch, rebuild the Heavenly Court, and eradicate the Demon Race.
Many Reincarnations of ancient powerhouses have already appeared. These individuals were once powerhouses of the Heavenly Court and seem to be gathering together with a plan, intending to rebuild the Heavenly Court.
However, currently, each major immortal domain has its own master, and without absolute strength, it is impossible to simply raise an arm and immediately restore the glory of the ancient era.
The major forces also seem unwilling to welcome the return of the Heavenly Emperor, and the Demon Race also appears to be planning to find the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor in advance.
Just as Han Xuanji was deep in thought, another voice came.
"Daoist Friend Han, I have gained some insights in the Dao of the Sword; please enlighten me."
A sharp streak of light arrived in an instant, hovering outside the garden.
The sword light dissipated, revealing Li Changkong's tall and straight figure, like a pine tree.
"Why is it that as soon as I emerge from seclusion, so many people come looking for me."
Han Xuanji sighed.
However, the other party's attitude had improved significantly.
Han Xuanji sensed slightly and found that the other party had made a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Rank, and thus was very confident, wanting to test his strength again.
The Puppet servant in the garden welcomed Li Changkong inside.
Li Changkong's figure quickly appeared before Han Xuanji.
He cupped his hands in a salute:
"Daoist Friend Han, I have cultivated diligently for a hundred years, not daring to slacken for a moment, all for this battle.
Coming again today, I only ask that Daoist Friend... draw your sword!"
Li Changkong still held Han Xuanji's strength in high regard, no longer daring to call him Junior Brother, but he still wanted to challenge Han Xuanji.
After all, back then, not only did Han Xuanji not draw his sword, but he himself didn't even have the courage to draw his sword.
He wanted to defeat his past self.
