After this battle, the Heavenly Demon Sect was completely finished.
After all, two Tribulation Transcendence Realm and many Body Integration and Void Tempering Realm mighty figures had perished, plus the deaths of some elite Disciples, it could be said to be a devastating blow.
Even if it wasn't annihilated, it was half-dead.
In North Underworld State, the Demonic Path was prevalent.
Once you weakened, you were truly finished.
Even if the Heavenly Demon Sect might still have some hidden reserves, it wouldn't be able to stir up any more waves in a short period.
The Sect crisis was completely overcome.
Han Xuanji also planned to get down to business.
He had originally intended to Breakthrough when he came out of seclusion this time.
Upon learning that Han Xuanji was Undergoing Tribulation, everyone urged Han Xuanji to undergo his Tribulation in the Shenxuan Sect, without needing to go anywhere else, and they would prepare a place for him.
Han Xuanji thought about it and didn't refuse.
…
On the other side.
"Alas, it seems we are destined to be without fate."
Baili Jue also felt a bit of pity; he had originally thought about whether it was possible to abduct two Sword Dao Genius, but he hadn't expected one of the "Genius" to be a bit too much.
Northern Dipper Sword Revered was muttering to himself, clearly having gained some insight.
"The Nine Provinces truly hide Dragons and crouching tigers; that sword strike changes in myriad ways, and his Sword Dao attainment is simply Reaching Heaven…"
Nangong Wenjian remained silent, closing his eyes, and after a long while, he said:
"I am willing to join Cangming Sword Palace."
His tone was resolute, clearly having made up his mind.
If he continued like this, he might never be able to surpass him, or even see his back.
Upon hearing this.
Baili Jue nodded with satisfaction:
"It's good that you've come to your senses. In time, you might not be without a chance to catch up to him…"
…
Shenxuan Sect.
At this time, many Sect high-level Cultivator were still discussing Han Xuanji.
"Since Demon-Slaying Sword Master is so strong, could he be the descendant of a big figure from the Upper Realm?"
"Perhaps he's a mighty figure who came to the mortal world for experience?"
There were many different opinions.
Xuan Weizi slowly said:
"Demon-Slaying Sword Master appears to be a great Cultivator who doesn't seek fame or fortune, and he surely dislikes being disturbed. However, the deeds he has accomplished must be widely publicized by us, and we must try our best to meet any of his needs to strengthen his sense of belonging to the Sect.
Otherwise, after a long time, he might leave the Sect, because the Sect's constant reliance on his protection will make him feel that the Sect is a burden to him."
Many Peak Masters, Elder, and even some returning Grand Elder all nodded.
After Xuan Weizi dropped these words, he hurried away, after all, Han Xuanji had just said he was going to Undergo Tribulation.
He had to fulfill it immediately.
…
Soon.
Shenxuan Sect, a desolate valley located at the edge of the Sect, rarely visited on weekdays.
Rumble.
The sky suddenly darkened, thunderclouds rolled, exuding an aura of destruction.
Sect Master Xuan Weizi, the Peak Masters of each peak, and the Grand Elder all came to observe.
Below the tribulation clouds, a figure sat cross-legged.
It was Han Xuanji, who had directly begun his Tribulation.
The heaven and earth pressure, enough to crush mountains, fell upon him, as if a gentle breeze swept over a mountain ridge, not even lifting a corner of his clothes.
Lightning gathered and roared wildly within the clouds, and destructive thunder was about to pour down.
Below, Han Xuanji remained seated as still as a mountain.
Several hours later.
Han Xuanji successfully Transcended Tribulation, successfully stepping into the second layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
This time, no one disturbed him.
Undergoing Tribulation was not too difficult for him.
After all, he cultivated Immortal Formula, possessed an Immortal Body, and had Immortal Artifact protecting him. Even if his Spiritual Qi was exhausted, he had many Spirit Pill and wondrous medicines, so there was no need to worry about failure.
After breaking through one Realm.
Han Xuanji could feel his strength surging again. Having cultivated to this point, each Realm normally required a long period of accumulation.
Therefore, each Breakthrough to a new Realm brought a significant increase in strength.

"Invincible!"
Han Xuanji felt that in the entire Spirit Realm, those with higher cultivation than him definitely didn't have better equipment than him.
After successfully Transcending Tribulation, Han Xuanji spent some time stabilizing his Realm.
Then he returned to his Immortal Cave.
Seeing Little White Tiger's aura stabilizing, he transmitted a Divine Thought to awaken it.
"Master… what's up?"
Little White Tiger opened its eyes groggily, as if it had just woken up.
"Moving house."
Han Xuanji replied.
"Oh."
The cat-sized Little White Tiger jumped onto Han Xuanji's shoulder, then boasted:
"Master, I'm terrifyingly strong now."
Han Xuanji glanced at it; this fellow had broken through to the eighth layer of Void Tempering Realm.
The progress was indeed quite fast.
Of course, compared to him, it was a bit slow.
He didn't have the heart to discourage it.
He simply put away the things he had set up earlier.
Afterward, Han Xuanji arrived at the place allocated by the Sect.
The Sect's main peak, Grand Elder Hall.
This was where the successive Grand Elder of the Shenxuan Sect cultivated in seclusion, and he had also been allocated a massive palace within it.
The Spiritual Qi here was naturally extremely abundant, and after becoming a Grand Elder, the Sect could regularly offer a large amount of Spirit Stone. As for the items in the Sect's treasury, while not freely available for picking, they would generally be delivered to him upon request.
Han Xuanji was quite satisfied with this.
Although he had lived well before, it was clearly better in this place.
However, the Formation here might still need to be rearranged by him.
Little White Tiger looked left and right, realizing that Han Xuanji seemed to be different from before.
"Master, did you take over the Sect?"
"What do you mean 'take over'… I've become a Grand Elder of the Sect."
Han Xuanji said in a bad mood.
Little White Tiger was surprised to hear that:
"Then what am I?"
"A… Sect Guardian Divine Beast?"
Han Xuanji thought for a moment and finally gave this answer.
"Sounds alright."
Little White Tiger nodded.
At this moment.
Heaven Jade Perfected Person arrived.
Han Xuanji got up to greet him.
Heaven Jade Perfected Person directly said:
"The people from the Heavenly Demon Sect have confessed all the intelligence. I didn't expect there to be some traitors within the Sect. Truly despicable!"
"It's good that it can be investigated."
Han Xuanji felt it was quite normal.
Cultivator are not Saint; they all have emotions and desires. Previously, when the Heavenly Demon Sect was powerful, there were always people who would adapt to circumstances.
Now, they had lost their gamble, and naturally, they had to pay the price.
Heaven Jade Perfected Person suddenly saw Little White Tiger and said in surprise:
"I didn't expect you to also raise a Spirit Beast. This little fellow seems to have great potential."
Little White Tiger looked up and snorted:
"This venerable one is of the White Tiger Bloodline, naturally extraordinary."
Heaven Jade Perfected Person smiled slightly, ignoring it, and continued:
"The crisis with the Heavenly Demon Sect has been temporarily resolved, but it's quite difficult to completely eliminate the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"Why?"
Han Xuanji asked curiously.
"As far as I know, the Heavenly Demon Sect's main altar is already empty, and some old monsters of the Heavenly Demon Sect are probably still alive. It's not that easy to completely eradicate them."
Heaven Jade Perfected Person sighed with emotion.
In reality, even if the Shenxuan Sect was no match for the Heavenly Demon Sect, it wouldn't be easily destroyed.
As long as people remained, the Sect wouldn't perish so quickly; at most, its name would be changed then.
Han Xuanji was indifferent to this; he hadn't intended to destroy the Heavenly Demon Sect in the first place.
If the other party stayed honestly in North Underworld State, he wouldn't have the time to seek them out.
Firstly, there was potential danger, and secondly, it was a waste of time.
Han Xuanji suddenly thought of the Yao Race matter, and then revealed the intelligence he had previously obtained.
Upon hearing this.
Heaven Jade Perfected Person couldn't help but frown, feeling a bit tricky.
After all, if the Yao Race were truly to invade, the danger would be much greater than what the Heavenly Demon Sect posed.
As the leader of East Cang State, the Shenxuan Sect could not stand idly by.
"I understand this matter. I will notify the other Sect and also seek assistance from the Righteous Path Sect in Central State."
Heaven Jade Perfected Person sighed.
He also had no good solution.
If his own strength was insufficient, he could only ask for help from others.
Han Xuanji nodded, not thinking much further.
Suddenly, Heaven Jade Perfected Person asked:
"Since you have cultivated to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in the Sect, you shouldn't be leaving anytime soon, right?"
"No, if I were truly to leave, I would naturally inform the Sect."
Han Xuanji replied calmly.
Anyway, by staying put and signing in, he would have everything he needed, so there was no need to seek Opportunity and Breakthrough in the so-called overseas lands.
Heaven Jade Perfected Person slowly nodded, sighing:
"Although there are many Opportunity overseas, the dangers are also considerable. Many Body Integration and even Tribulation Transcendence Cultivator of the Sect have perished. It is said that the Spiritual Qi of the Nine Provinces Continent is recovering, perhaps we shouldn't have left in the first place."
The two exchanged a few words, and then Heaven Jade Perfected Person left.
Han Xuanji discovered that he had never been to this place before; it was an overlooked place of Dao charm.
He silently asked in his mind:
"System, what is the Dao charm Rank of this place?"
[This place is a three-star sign-in location.]
"Three stars… not bad."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
However, he didn't plan to sign in here. Instead, he took out the Myriad Demons Illustrated Book and looked at Little White Tiger.
