"Is he even human?"
The Blue-Clothed Cultivator was dumbfounded, exclaiming in horror,
"He's not actually going to walk all the way, is he?"
Everyone had assumed Han Xuanji was just trying a few steps, testing his limits, but unexpectedly, once he started walking, he seemed to have no intention of stopping.
Ten steps, a hundred steps… That slender figure on the dark, heavy lake surface maintained a terrifyingly steady pace, as if what lay beneath his feet was not the Weak Water that could dissolve all things, but a broad, smooth road.
At this moment, Han Xuanji had already covered half the distance.
This scene looked unremarkable, yet only the Cultivators by the lake, who had long studied the Weak Water Lake and understood its horrors, could comprehend the significance behind this "unremarkable" walk.
"What is his background?"
"I don't know…"
"Is there really such a talented Water Dao Cultivator in the world? Unheard of!"
The several Cultivators present all shook their heads, their faces filled with bewilderment and disbelief.
They had previously held a sense of arrogance, not wanting to proactively engage with Han Xuanji, but now they were left with only immense curiosity and a huge sense of disparity.
"If he can maintain this speed… I'm afraid the Opportunity will fall into his hands."
The Blue-Clothed Cultivator's voice was hoarse, stating the truth that everyone present was most unwilling to admit yet unable to deny.
The eyes of the few people present were filled with apprehension and tension.
Originally, everyone here was competing, but suddenly, an existence beyond their scope appeared. The gap was too immense to change.
How were these "ordinary people" supposed to play?
However, the Immortal Abode was precisely that cruel; it didn't mean that just because you arrived early or stayed long, the Opportunity belonged to you.
…
And Han Xuanji indeed felt some pressure during the last thirty steps.
The unique Law power of the Weak Water, heavy and stagnant, was terrifying to the extreme.
Fortunately, Han Xuanji's Myriad Laws Immortal Body spontaneously operated, like the most precise analytical instrument, or a greedy Taotie, absorbing this profound Weak Water power, accelerating Han Xuanji's comprehension of the Weak Water Law.
One step, then another.
Han Xuanji walked as if strolling leisurely on the Weak Water that devoured all things.
Soon, his figure receded further and further, eventually reaching the center of the Weak Water Lake, leaving only the Cultivators by the lake, standing petrified and utterly silent.
"I've arrived?"
Han Xuanji surveyed the pavilion guarded by nine giant pillars, his gaze falling upon the exquisite jade table on the central platform.
On the table, a simple black box lay quietly.
"I want to see what kind of Opportunity this is."
Han Xuanji did not hesitate and directly opened the box.
Instantly, a column of ethereal blue light shot up from the pavilion.
The light column pierced through the misty Qi above the Immortal Abode, its brilliance almost illuminating half of the Immortal Abode.
Countless Cultivators, who were exploring and competing for Opportunities elsewhere, were startled by this sudden brilliant blue light. They all stopped their actions, looking up in astonishment towards the Weak Water Lake, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
The next moment.
A grand and majestic voice clearly resounded in every corner of the Immortal Abode, like a Heavenly Dao decree:
"The Immortal Rank Opportunity of the Weak Water Lake has been taken. May other Cultivators continue to strive and not lose their Opportunities!"
As soon as the announcement was made, the entire Immortal Abode instantly erupted in an uproar.
"An Immortal Rank Opportunity was taken? How long has it been open?"
"Weak Water Lake? Isn't that widely recognized as one of the most difficult places to conquer for an Opportunity?"
"That's too fast…"
Innumerable Cultivators' hearts churned, filled with shock, and even a sense of defeat.
An Opportunity that could be crowned "Immortal Rank" was definitely among the top tier in the Immortal Abode.
How could it not be shocking that such a treasure was taken so soon after the opening?
At the same time.
Far away in a mountain range in the extreme west of the Immortal Abode, Xiaobai looked at the light pillar in the sky, seemingly recalling something.
"That direction, is it where Master is?"
"I must also work hard…"
His gains this year were not small, but they were completely incomparable to Han Xuanji's.
…
"xuanming weak water pearl?"
Han Xuanji examined the azure treasure pearl in his hand, about the size of a baby's fist and crystal clear.
It emitted a profound fluctuation that seemed capable of pulling life force and annihilating everything.
"So it's just a Low Grade Immortal Artifact?"
Han Xuanji shook his head with a slight disappointment.
After all, he already possessed a Flying Sword of High Grade Immortal Artifact level.
However, on second thought, an Immortal Artifact was still good. After all, he only had three on him, and this pearl, being capable of both offense and defense, was quite practical.
Infusing Spiritual Qi into it could unleash terrifying Weak Water attacks powerful enough to make even Ascension Realm experts wary and retreat.
At the same time, for defense, it could condense a Weak Water Domain around the body, greatly weakening or even annihilating enemy Spell attacks. It was truly a powerful Immortal Artifact for protecting the Dao, especially suitable for Cultivators whose Realm was still low.
"Since I'm here, I should be able to sign in at this place, right?"
Han Xuanji's thoughts stirred, and he communicated with the System.
[Detected special Dao Imbued Land 'Lake Heart Pavilion', a Four-Star Sign-in Location.]
"Four-star?"
Han Xuanji was immediately startled, as this should be the first time he had encountered such an Advanced place.
It seemed that the Dao Imbued qualities of some places within the Immortal Abode were even beyond his imagination.
"System, sign in."
Han Xuanji didn't hesitate and silently chanted in his mind.
[Congratulations to Host for successfully signing in at Azure Dragon Immortal Abode · Lake Heart Pavilion, obtaining a portion of Water Dao Origin.]
[Dao Imbued energy exhausted, cannot continue to sign in. Please Host find the next Dao Imbued Land.]
"Water Dao Origin, only one sign-in?"
Han Xuanji's mind sank into the System space, and he immediately understood the profoundness of this Origin.
This was even rarer than what he had signed in for at the Weak Water Lake previously.
Every Great Dao was immeasurably profound, from which countless Laws could be derived. And this portion of Water Dao Origin contained insights into countless Weak Water Laws.
"As expected of the System, it's truly powerful."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
Normally, it was not easy for Cultivators below the Immortal Realm to comprehend the power of Laws; those who could even get started were as rare as Phoenix feathers and Dragon scales. It sounded good to say one comprehended the Great Dao, but in reality, they only grasped some true meanings of Heaven and Earth, not even reaching the threshold of Laws.
Didn't one see these Prodigies from the outside world, who, upon reaching the Weak Water Lake, found it difficult to even get started with comprehending the Weak Water Law after a year?
If he absorbed this portion of Origin, his comprehension of the Weak Water Law would likely skyrocket like a rocket, even allowing him to understand a trace of the profoundness of the Water Dao.
The value of this "Water Dao Origin" was undoubtedly, on a certain level, far superior to the xuanming weak water pearl he had just acquired.
"This is also a good place for secluded Cultivation."
Han Xuanji simply sat down cross-legged in the pavilion and began to absorb this portion of Water Dao Origin.
Here, no one could disturb him.
…
On the other side.
Lu Fan and Lin Potian also had clear goals. They didn't compete for the major Opportunities but instead searched for Heaven And Earth Treasures.
The Spiritual Qi environment within the Immortal Abode was excellent, naturally giving birth to some Heaven And Earth Treasures.
These items were tangible. Whether refined directly after being gathered or taken out for use, they were valuable treasures.
Some high-Realm Prodigies didn't care for these things, but for the two Golden Core Realm Cultivators, they were quite appealing.
Even as True Disciples, they wouldn't mind having more resources!
Especially Lin Potian, the resources required for his daily Cultivation far exceeded those of ordinary Cultivators.
And Lu Fan could also search for some Heaven And Earth Treasures to heal his Divine Soul injuries here…
