Although Han Xuanji had lived in seclusion for many years, he would often sneak into the River of Destiny to observe and comprehend.
Coupled with frequent reports from Li Taiqing and others about various events in the outside world, Han Xuanji was well aware of what was happening.
Currently, the clashes between the Demon Court and the Human Race were intensifying, with many powerhouses engaging in battles and Prodigies from various races emerging, including those from previously hidden forces and Prodigies.
For example, the nine Holy Envoys of the Human Emperor Palace of the Human Race began to emerge from seclusion to search for the nine Great Hidden Dragons.
Zhu Rong from Jingjue Palace, whom Han Xuanji met in the River of Destiny, also emerged, slaying several arrogant Demon Court Prodigies, gaining widespread fame, and even Breaking Through to Taiyi Golden Immortal during an encirclement by over a dozen Golden Immortal Yao Race members, achieving a counter-kill. Ultimately, the Yao Race had to deploy several Taiyi Golden Immortals.
Meanwhile, Han Xuanji's cultivation finally reached Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection, and his comprehension of the Laws of some Great Daos deepened significantly.
However, to Break Through to Grand Unity, simply cultivating in seclusion would not suffice.
He still needed to forge his own Dao and walk his own path.
As the saying goes, 'those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die.'
Han Xuanji naturally understood this principle and did not rush for success, but rather slowly advanced his comprehension of various Great Daos simultaneously.
Inside the Myriad Phenomena Garden.
After a series of transformations by Han Xuanji, it could be said that there was no other place like it in the entire Lingxu Heavenly Palace.
Although Lu Fan and the others intended to strive on their own, they were not foolish.
They would often come to this treasure land for cultivation.
Over time, they naturally became acquainted with Su Ming and Li Changsheng.
Upon learning that they were friends of Han Xuanji from the Lower Realm, neither of them looked down on the others because of their cultivation. Instead, they often gathered, exchanged insights, and forged a friendship.
Han Xuanji was happy to see this.
Anyway, with Luck-bestowed Children appearing in droves, he no longer cared how many people came.
On this day.
Han Xuanji gathered everyone to preach the Dao to them.
After so many years, although their paths were different, they had all managed to establish themselves in the Lingxu Heavenly Palace through their own efforts, becoming the cream of the crop among the new generation of Disciples.
Han Xuanji suddenly noticed that Lin Potian's Luck had greatly increased, seemingly due to some fortuitous encounter.
[Lin Potian: Earth Immortal Seventh Layer, a person of great Luck, inherited the Legacy of the Witch Race, his Physique transformed into the Primordial Divine Body, possessing extremely high potential.]
"Witch Race?"
Han Xuanji frowned.
The Witch Race was once a powerful race in ancient times, but after its decline, it disappeared without a trace.
He hadn't expected Lin Potian to be connected to the Witch Race.
Legend has it that the Witch Race possessed naturally powerful Physiques and excelled in Body Refining, so it was good that Lin Potian obtained their Legacy.
Moreover, the Witch Race was opposed to the Yao Race, so for now, there seemed to be no problem.
Thinking of this, Han Xuanji did not explicitly state it but instead answered everyone's questions during the preaching.
Suddenly.
The Spiritual Qi in the garden suddenly became unusually active, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, converging towards a peculiar place.
In a small pond, a Dragon egg was currently emitting an unprecedented brilliant light.
The eggshell pulsed continuously like a Bloodline, exuding a heart-palpitating Dragon's might.
"Is it about to hatch?"
Han Xuanji, who was preaching the Dao, was the first to notice the anomaly. His figure moved, and he appeared before the Dragon egg, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
This True Dragon egg, obtained from a sign-in in the Underworld Sea, had been nurtured by him for many years, and today was finally the time for it to break its shell.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of others in the garden. Knowing that the Dragon egg was about to hatch, everyone gathered around, holding their breath and gazing at the increasingly bright Dragon egg.
"What a powerful life fluctuation, this Dragon seems extraordinary, doesn't it?"
Li Taiqing asked in surprise, feeling the pressure.
"Could it be a Dragon from the True Dragon lineage?"
Han Xuanji smiled and said,
"I'm not sure, perhaps."
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.
Dragons of the True Dragon lineage possessed incredibly noble Bloodlines and boundless growth potential; they could reach Golden Immortal without even cultivating.
Han Xuanji had quietly acquired a True Dragon egg?
If the news got out, the Dragon Clan might send people to take it away, or even hold him accountable.
"Is it really alright?"
"It should be fine, Master should have a way."
"Yes, Senior Brother Han is not a reckless person."
..."Woof..."
Little White Tiger suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. He instinctively rubbed against Han Xuanji's leg again, his tiger eyes looking pitifully at Han Xuanji.
It seemed to be saying: 'You wouldn't forget your little tiger just because you have a Dragon, would you?'
Han Xuanji noticed Little White Tiger's emotions and smiled slightly, reaching out to gently stroke its head:
"Don't worry, I can still afford to raise you."
Upon receiving his Master's promise, Little White Tiger relaxed a little, but his gaze remained fixed on the Dragon egg, his tail gently swaying.
"Crack."
With a crisp cracking sound.
A tiny crack appeared at the top of the Dragon egg, and then the crack quickly spread across the entire eggshell.
"Roar!"
A tender Dragon roar emanated from within the egg.
The eggshell completely shattered, and dazzling golden light shot up into the sky, dyeing the entire Myriad Phenomena Garden golden.
Within the golden light, a small Dragon, about a foot long, appeared. Its entire body was covered in pale golden scales, with two small, exquisite jade horns on its head, and four claws with five toes clearly visible on its belly.
"It's a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!"
Su Ming exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock.
The Dragon Clan was widely known in the Upper Realm, and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was an extremely powerful lineage within the Dragon Clan, having served as Clan Chief of the Dragon Clan many times.
Lu Fan, Lin Potian, and the others were also filled with excitement; witnessing the birth of a True Dragon with their own eyes was undoubtedly a rare event.
The little Golden Dragon's eyes were like the purest golden gems. With each blink, a Dragon's might flowed out. Although it was still small, the demeanor of a Divine Beast was already beginning to show.
[Five-Clawed Golden Dragon: Earth Immortal First Layer, a True Dragon born from a Grand Unity-level Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and an Yinglong. It is a pure-blooded True Dragon, with powerful talent and extraordinary Luck. Due to your influence, its heavenly secrets are obscured, and the Dragon Clan is unaware of its birth.]
"Woof."
The little Golden Dragon curiously looked around, its gaze finally landing on Han Xuanji, who was closest to it and whose aura it felt most closeness to, letting out a gentle purr.
It wobbled towards Han Xuanji, rubbing its small Dragon head against Han Xuanji's finger.
And Little White Tiger, seeing the little Golden Dragon being intimate with its Master, felt its recently relaxed heart tighten again, and it grumbled sourly:
"Master doesn't like this shiny golden appearance, it's too flashy."
The little Golden Dragon seemed to understand Little White Tiger's meaning. It turned its head, its golden eyes curiously examining the equally extraordinary Little White Tiger, and then... it spat out a small mouthful of golden Dragon Breath towards Little White Tiger, in a childish voice, as if greeting it, or perhaps a declaration of some instinct.
Little White Tiger's tiger body trembled instantly, and it bared its fangs, but out of deference to its Master's presence, it didn't act out. It merely turned its head and presented its backside to the little Golden Dragon, expressing its 'displeasure.'
Han Xuanji saw this scene and couldn't help but chuckle.
He gently patted the little Golden Dragon's head and stroked Little White Tiger's head, saying warmly, "You two must get along well in the future."
"Oh right, you'll be called Little Gold."
Upon hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed in the little Golden Dragon's eyes.
Li Taiqing clapped his hands and said,
"What a great name!"
Brother Han is as casual as ever... Su Ming and the others grumbled inwardly, but didn't say another word.
