An uninhabited mountain range on the outskirts of the Shenxuan Sect.
Amidst the earth-shattering roar and the suffocating Heaven and Earth pressure.
When the last crimson Thunder Dragon, imbued with the aura of Thunder-Fire Law, descended and was completely shredded by the Star Sword Light circulating around Han Xuanji's body.
Finally, the terrifying vortex in the Void Realm began to slowly dissipate.
The tribulation clouds receded, and the light of day reappeared.
Han Xuanji hovered in the air, his body surrounded by Immortal light. He closed his eyes and concentrated, quickly stabilizing the Realm he had just broken through.
Tribulation Transcendence Realm Eighth Layer!
He could feel a powerful sense of strength filling his entire body. With every movement, he could stir the stars and shake mountains and rivers.
Han Xuanji slowly opened his eyes, pondering to himself:
"With my current strength, I wonder how far I am from the Ascension Realm?"
The Ascension Realm is a transition from Human to Immortal. A Cultivator who has just entered the Ascension Realm might not be too far off from a Cultivator at Tribulation Transcendence Realm Perfection.
But the Spirit Realm is vast. Who dares to say that there aren't old monsters who have long since broken through to Ascension and live in seclusion?
Therefore, even though Han Xuanji had achieved a Breakthrough, he did not relax in the slightest.
Shenxuan Sect.
When Han Xuanji's figure appeared before the hall gate, all the Elders waiting there, as well as Sect Master Xuan Weizi, felt an invisible pressure wash over them.
Even though in their eyes, Han Xuanji seemed to have no cultivation at all.
They uniformly congratulated Han Xuanji on his successful Breakthrough.
"Congratulations, Sir, on your successful Breakthrough and advancing another step in your cultivation!"
Han Xuanji had a faint smile on his face.
"You are all too kind."
The sunlight outside the hall reflected the genuine joy on everyone's faces.
Since the demise of the five Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators and the Xia Emperor's personal visit to express gratitude, the Shenxuan Sect's prestige had soared, already ranking among the top forces in the world.
Moreover, as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in Kyushu became increasingly dense, various Opportunities and blessed lands emerged like bamboo shoots after rain. Both the Disciples and the Elders as a whole saw a leap in their overall strength.
All of this was naturally inextricably linked to Han Xuanji.
However, Xuan Weizi and others were well aware of the proper boundaries and did not disturb Han Xuanji's cultivation.
But the Sect would also send some extremely rare and uncommon Heaven And Earth Treasure or spiritual items that benefited high-level Cultivators into Han Xuanji's "Demon Subduing Hall."
Han Xuanji naturally knew of this thoughtful gesture.
"A few days ago, to enhance its prestige, the Sect recruited several Guest Elder at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm."
Xuan Weizi spoke at the appropriate moment, his tone carrying a hint of ease,
"Initially, some of them were a bit arrogant, but after witnessing the power of Sword Venerable's Breakthrough today..."
"The prosperity of the Sect is a good thing."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, expressing his approval.
He knew that in the current environment, it was normal for strong individuals to band together for mutual support.
Recruiting these Tribulation Transcendence Realm Guest Elder could indeed add a lot of high-end combat power to the Sect, making it easier to compete for Opportunities and handle external affairs in the future.
He couldn't possibly handle everything himself, could he?
But then, Han Xuanji's tone shifted, carrying a hint of warning:
"However, a tall tree catches the wind, and a prominent tree in the forest will be targeted. Do not be overly eager for quick success and make enemies everywhere."
He would eventually leave. If the Sect became arrogant and made too many enemies under his protection, it might face utter destruction after he left.
Xuan Weizi quickly nodded and explained:
"Naturally so. Although our Sect has you overseeing it, we haven't used that to bully other forces. And regarding the matters you previously instructed, I have already gathered some intelligence."
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Weizi also took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Han Xuanji.
"Oh?"
A hint of interest flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes as he took the Jade Slip.
His Divine Sense entered it, and the information recorded within the Jade Slip flowed into his mind like a gentle stream.
This contained descriptions and rumors of ancient ruins, Secret Realm, and dangerous places, as well as intelligence on major forces with deep foundations that were suspected of being connected to the Upper Realm.
This was exactly what he had previously instructed Xuan Weizi to gather.
"Not bad, the information is quite detailed."
Han Xuanji nodded with satisfaction and put away the Jade Slip.
The Azure Dragon Immortal Abode would eventually close, and he had almost finished signing in at the Dao-infused places within the Sect. He needed to prepare his targets in advance.
Forces with such Immortal Legacy must surely have a high Dao essence.
Han Xuanji even planned to visit those extraordinary major forces with origins in the Upper Realm.
However, the most urgent task was to Breakthrough to the Ascension Realm; only then would he have more confidence.
Han Xuanji noticed Xuan Weizi's strange expression, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated. He directly said to him:
"Just say it."
At these words, everyone looked at Xuan Weizi.
Xuan Weizi hesitated:
"Not long ago, a Disciple who went to Central Province reported that the Heavenly Evil Sect in Central Province seems to be inquiring about your news, but they haven't made many moves."
"Heavenly Evil Sect?"
Han Xuanji raised an eyebrow slightly, a little surprised.
He had an impression of that name; it was one of the Demonic Path Holy Land in Central Province, with considerable strength.
"Does the Sect have a grudge with them?"
"Yes, there is, but..."
Xuan Weizi frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head:
"There have indeed been minor skirmishes, but those were a hundred years ago or even longer."
"However, Central Province has not been peaceful recently. Rumor has it that the Six Paths of the Devil Sect seems to be planning to open up a Demon Domain. When that happens, many True Demons will likely descend. For this reason, the major Immortal Sects in Central Province have begun to continuously hunt down Demon Cultivators and call upon all Cultivators in the world to jointly attack the Demonic Path."
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji also frowned.
A Demon Domain refers to a world occupied by Demon Cultivators.
And True Demons refer to Demon Cultivators or Demon Race above the Ascension Realm. The goal of Demon Cultivators is to become True Demons, just as Immortal Cultivators aim for Immortal Ascension.
It is said that the place where Demon Cultivators Ascend is another world, not the "Immortal Realm."
If the Six Paths of the Devil Sect truly opened up a Demon Domain and True Demons descended, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Kyushu Continent and even the entire Taixu Spirit Realm.
However, Han Xuanji wasn't too worried.
"This should be a concern for the Immortal Sects of Central Province. Don't worry."
Han Xuanji said indifferently.
"By the way, are there any other movements from the Yao Race?"
"The Ten Thousand Demons Country... there doesn't seem to be any major movement, but that place is the ancestral court of the Ten Thousand Demons, with countless great Demons. It has always been a Forbidden Land for the Human Race."
Xuan Weizi replied.
"Is that so..."
Han Xuanji mused:
"But still, pay a little attention."
After everyone began discussing Sect affairs, Han Xuanji did not linger. His figure flashed, and he left the main hall, returning to the Demon Subduing Hall.
The hall doors closed silently, shutting out the outside commotion.
With a thought, he re-entered the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode.
Returning to Myriad Stars Hall, the vast sea of stars was incredibly tranquil, quickly calming his mind.
"Myriad Stars Hall should be enough for me to sign in for many years. I hope to Breakthrough to Tribulation Transcendence Realm Perfection within ten years."
"Next, my main focus will still be on Breakthrough to the Realm, achieving a Breakthrough as quickly as possible to be more secure."
Han Xuanji quickly set his goal.
He had already fully mastered the eighth layer of the Grand Beginning Immortal Formula. He only needed his cultivation to increase, and his Realm would naturally Breakthrough.
