Han Xuanji ignored the System's notification sound, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to Commander He Guanshan:
"Many thanks, Legion Commander. I, Han, will keep this in mind."
Commander He Guanshan waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned:
"Alright, cut the formalities. Go on in. This place is protected by a Restriction; it is very safe, and no one will disturb your cultivation."
"You can stay as long as you like. Just let me know when you've had enough."
After saying this, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation. Han Xuanji watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, his estimation of this Legion Commander rising a notch in his heart.
This man was unconstrained by minor details and acted with a free spirit. He neither deliberately made things difficult because Han Xuanji was from the Hun Family, nor did he overly curry favor because of Han Xuanji's Genius status. He helped when he should and let go when he should; his sense of propriety was just right.
"He is similar to True God Heiyan. Could it be that everyone who practices the Path of the Physical Body is like this?"
Han Xuanji pondered, feeling that his Luck was quite good; the people he met were all quite decent.
Or perhaps, appropriately revealing his Genius status would improve how others perceived him, making it easier for him to develop. If he hid his abilities too much, that wouldn't be good either.
Han Xuanji felt his current performance was just right. Perhaps he was a rare Genius in Qianhun City, but looking across a large region, he didn't seem quite so dazzling.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Han Xuanji turned and walked toward the high platform.
The moment he stepped onto the first step, a vast dao-rhythm submerged him like a tidal wave.
Unlike the mysterious aura of alternating Life and Death in the Life and Death Ravine, the dao-rhythm here was grander and more inclusive. It seemed to represent the Origin of everything, representing the majestic power that created all things.
Han Xuanji closed his eyes, sensing this dao-rhythm, and a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
"According to the Legion Commander, there should also be the Dao Principle of Destruction, but why don't I feel it?"
He walked up the steps, one by one.
On every step, different dao-patterns were engraved; some were profound and obscure, others simple and easy to understand.
Han Xuanji did not rush to comprehend them. When he reached the top of the high platform, he stopped.
This was a platform several zhang wide. In the center of the platform was a prayer mat, and in front of the mat sat a stone table covered in dust, clearly untouched for a long time.
Han Xuanji sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, closed his eyes, and silently chanted in his heart:
"System, Sign In."
As he moved his thought, the System's notification sounds gushed out like a spring, crisp and dense.
[ Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Creation Platform", obtaining the entry "Life and Death in the Palm"! ]
[ Life and Death in the Palm: The palm contains Creation; with one thought, all things are born, evolving all things and creating living beings. With a turn of the hand, one thought extinguishes all living beings, destroying everything. Creation and Destruction exist within a single mind. ]
Han Xuanji was shocked.
This entry seemed rather extraordinary; it felt even more powerful than the "Five Elements Source Stream" he obtained at the Five Elements Altar or the "Mind Without Obstruction" he obtained at Qianmeng Pavilion.
"The palm contains Creation; with one thought, all things are born..."
Han Xuanji muttered this sentence repeatedly, an indescribable excitement surging in his heart. If he claimed this entry, it seemed his last two Dao Principles would be resolved; its effect on him would far exceed his imagination.
He did not rush to claim it, but continued to check the subsequent Sign In rewards.
[ Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Creation Platform", obtaining the Cultivation Technique "Creation Dao Evolution Scripture (Part 1)"! ]
[ Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Creation Platform", obtaining the Cultivation Technique "Destruction Origin Scripture (Part 1)"! ]
[ Creation Dao Evolution Scripture (Part 1): One of the core Cultivation Techniques of the Creation Divine Mountain. This is the first volume, containing the cultivation methods from Eternal Dao Lord to Eternal Saint. ]
[ Destruction Origin Scripture (Part 1): One of the core Legacies of the End Hall. This is the first volume, containing the cultivation methods from Eternal Dao Lord to Eternal Saint. ]
"Just the first volume has cultivation methods up to the Saint level?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred; it seemed the complete versions of these two Cultivation Techniques were of an extremely high grade.
He had also heard of the two major factions, Creation Divine Mountain and End Hall. They seemed to be second-tier factions on the Eternal Continent, both possessing the Legacies of Eternal Saint Lords. Every so often, someone would attain the Dao and become a Saint, but currently, neither had a Saint Lord presiding over them.
He hadn't expected the big shot who left this Legacy to be related to both of these Sects. It seemed the other party's background was even more formidable than he had imagined.
After all, these two major factions were hostile to each other. He wondered what on earth this person had done to obtain the core Legacies of both?
Stole them?
Or was it that their status was so high that both factions couldn't afford to offend them, and they simply handed over the two Legacies?
Han Xuanji did not dwell on it and continued looking at the Sign In rewards.
[ Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Creation Platform", obtaining the ninth-tier eternal dao artifact "Creation Cauldron"! ]
[ Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Creation Platform", obtaining the ninth-tier eternal dao artifact "Blessing Divine Jade"! ]
[ Congratulations to the Host for successfully Signing In at the ten-star Sign In location "Creation Platform", obtaining the third-tier Eternal Sacred Artifact "Creation Grinding Mill"! ]
Two ninth-tier eternal dao artifacts in a row, plus one third-tier Eternal Sacred Artifact.
Han Xuanji roughly sensed them; the grade of these Dao Artifacts was far higher than the ten ninth-tier Dao Artifacts he had obtained from the Hun Family treasury. Clearly, because they came from the hands of an expert, the refining techniques were more exquisite, and the contained dao-rhythm was more dense.
The Creation Cauldron seemed to be used for Alchemy; this expert who left the Legacy was also an Alchemy expert.
The Blessing Divine Jade was an auxiliary eternal dao artifact, possessing the ability to gather Luck and avoid misfortune. At the same time, it could protect its master during Life and Death critical moments, capable of withstanding the attacks of an Eternal Saint. It was a rare and precious treasure.
For the current Han Xuanji, it might be even more practical than an Eternal Sacred Artifact.
[ Creation Grinding Mill: A third-tier Eternal Sacred Artifact crafted by Saint Qiankun. Using the world as the mill and all living beings as grain, it grinds down the ages. It has the ability to crush all Laws and refine the Origin. ]
After reading the introduction to the Creation Grinding Mill, Han Xuanji felt his previous words had been a bit hasty.
As expected of an Eternal Sacred Artifact, this item could toss enemies, Magic Treasures, or even a whole world into the mill, grinding them down to refine "Origin Essence."
Even an enemy's attack, if it fell within the range of the mill, would be ground down and decomposed into the most primitive Spiritual Qi, to be used for oneself.
"However, I still cannot use this item well right now..."
Han Xuanji sighed in his heart; it was a case of having a treasure mountain but nowhere to use it.
This item was definitely a top-tier Sacred Artifact at the Saint level. Even though he was an Eternal True God, if he could unleash one percent of its power, he feared he would be hard to find a match for at the Eternal True God stage.
And Han Xuanji also knew who the person who left this Legacy was.
Saint Qiankun.
The name was certainly resounding. With this Sacred Artifact in hand, it was truly enough to turn the world upside down.
