Time flowed slowly.
Four years later.
Time seemed to stand still in this starry world.
Han Xuanji now sat on an ancient star in the star sea, with the trajectories of the stars above his head shifting, slowly moving according to ancient and profound paths.
Around him, dense Star Power spontaneously gathered, nourishing every inch of his muscles, bones, and flesh, and refining his Divine Soul.
The Laws of the stars' movement intertwined with his long, steady breathing, forming a profound tableau.
At this moment, nine Star Origin Crystals were placed before him.
Crack.
Just then, the nine Star Origin Crystals in front of Han Xuanji all cracked open, transforming into nine streams of starlight that surged into his body.
At the same time.
Han Xuanji's aura continuously rose, finally reaching a limit. He opened his eyes, a smile on his face:
"Finally, Perfection."
At this moment, Han Xuanji also felt the difficulty of Cultivation.
Although the Immortal Art he Cultivated was profound, advancing even one Realm required more resources than before.
With countless resources piled up and infused, even with his Aptitude, it still took him so many years. For ordinary Cultivators, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult.
"Thankfully, the Star Power in this place is virtually inexhaustible, and it contains profound Star Laws, enough for me to Cultivate for a very long time."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
In these four years.
Most of the items he signed in for were Star Origin Crystals, a special product of the Myriad Stars Hall. The quantity varied; sometimes it was only one, and sometimes he would even get more than ten.
Don't let the ease with which he obtained them through sign-ins deceive you; in reality, within this Legacy, Star Origin Crystals were also precious resources. Inheritors who entered would need to expend great effort to obtain even ten or so.
Besides these, the sign-in rewards also included several Divine Ability secret arts related to the Dao of stars, which were quite extraordinary.
"Big Dipper Seven Star Divine Fist" is a fist technique that controls the power of the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper governs death, and this fist technique even involves the obscure Law of Death. When Cultivated to a higher level, this punch targets your invisible death line, ignoring defenses and various body-protecting Divine Abilities.
There was also an extremely powerful Body Refining Cultivation Technique called "Myriad Stars Body Refining True Art," which involved opening star acupoints and condensing internal star cores, bestowing infinite power upon the Physical Body.
In terms of sword Dao, there was a sword Formation art called "Seven Star Sword Canon," whose power was unfathomable. It required seven Flying Swords crafted from star essence gold, and Han Xuanji happened to sign in for all seven. Individually, they were slightly weaker than Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, but when combined, their unleashed power could rival High Grade or even Mid Grade Immortal Artifacts.
In addition, there was a technique for deducing heavenly secrets called "Purple Star Astrology," which had miraculous effects when combined with his innate Divine Ability, Heavenly Vision Art.
Each Cultivation Technique and Divine Ability was a supreme profound method rarely found in the Lower Realm, and even in the Upper Realm, they should be extremely extraordinary.
"My accumulated Realm foundation over these past few years is sufficient. Breakthrough is not an issue for me. I can go out and undergo Tribulation now."
Han Xuanji's mind stirred, and he left the Immortal Abode.
As per usual, he first contacted Sect Master Xuan Weizi.
...
Shenxuan Sect, Sect Main Hall.
Xuan Weizi was handling Sect affairs, with the thriving scene of the Shenxuan Sect visible outside the window.
When Han Xuanji's familiar and calm voice sounded in his Sea of Consciousness, Xuan Weizi's hand, holding the brush, paused only slightly, his face showing no great surprise.
"Received."
Xuan Weizi immediately responded.
He arranged everything in an orderly manner, the entire process flowing smoothly.
He was happy about Han Xuanji's Breakthrough, but also felt a hint of loss.
Because he knew that the faster Han Xuanji broke through, the sooner he would leave the Shenxuan Sect.
"While the Demon-Slaying Sword Master is still here, I must Cultivate more strong individuals."
Xuan Weizi secretly thought.
In these years, the Shenxuan Sect had developed extremely rapidly.
Furthermore, due to the golden signboard of "Demon-Slaying Sword Master," many strong individuals from the Cultivation world were attracted to join, including those in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
However, most of these people came with the intention of seeking guidance, attaching themselves to a powerful figure, or leveraging his influence.
Facing these Cultivators whose cultivation was even higher than his own, Xuan Weizi initially felt pressure, but he quickly stabilized his mind.
He knew deeply that as long as Han Xuanji remained, these people would not dare to act presumptuously.
He only needed to be neither humble nor arrogant and skillfully utilize this power to strengthen the Sect.
Soon.
Han Xuanji arrived at a secluded area to undergo his Breakthrough.
As he released his restrictions, the Bottleneck of the eighth heaven instantly shattered. As his aura surged, it triggered the tribulation clouds.
Streaks of crimson Lightning Tribulation condensed, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
Upon witnessing this scene.
Many strong individuals who had become Guest Elders of the Shenxuan Sect revealed looks of shock.
"This… what Realm of Lightning Tribulation is this? How can its aura be so terrifying?!"
"This old man has never seen a Heavenly Tribulation of such might in a thousand years. Could it be… this senior is about to ascend to the Immortal Realm?!"
"Is this what the legendary Ascension Tribulation looks like? It's too terrifying!"
These strong individuals, who usually held their heads high and prided themselves on their extensive knowledge, now looked like naive youths who had just embarked on the path of immortality.
They simply could not imagine that a Breakthrough for someone in the "Tribulation Transcendence Realm" could trigger such a calamity.
In reality, the power of Han Xuanji's eighth Lightning Tribulation was already comparable to the power of a typical Ascension Realm's tribulation lightning.
However, he was always extremely well-prepared, and furthermore, he had the protection of many Immortal Artifacts. Even a Lightning Tribulation of this power could not pose a threat to him.
Seeing the strong individuals' expressions of shock and alarm, Xuan Weizi and the Elders of the Shenxuan Sect exchanged glances, and the corners of their mouths involuntarily curved upward slightly, carrying a hint of imperceptible… superiority.
They had already grown accustomed to it.
They even felt that the Tribulation Transcendence Realm should possess such power.
"Making a fuss over nothing."
A white-haired Elder stroked his beard and muttered in a low voice, not loud, but clearly audible to everyone.
"Exactly, acting like they've never seen the world."
Another Elder echoed, his tone carrying a hint of mockery,
"And they always claim to come from some overseas immortal island… Tsk tsk."
