Of course, such epiphanies were rare and elusive. Every time Han Xuanji entered this state, it was purely by chance.
That said.
Han Xuanji could clearly feel that every time he gained a new trait, he seemed more prone to entering this state.
If his assumptions were correct, his Aptitude increased each time he obtained a trait.
Whether it was his comprehension of the Dao laws or the speed at which he practiced his Cultivation Technique, he was always a cut above his previous self.
When he first arrived at the Eternal Continent, his talent was decent, but it was far from top-tier.
Yet now, he had unknowingly surged ahead of countless others.
"When I first entered the Eternal Continent, without the System, I would have been just another ordinary Genius among the supreme powers, a dime a dozen. But now, even without the System, I should be considered quite good among those supreme powers, right?"
This thought flashed through his mind, but Han Xuanji did not dwell on it for long.
He did not have a very clear perception of his own talent.
Judging from the simulations, Xiao Yan, as a peerless Prodigy of a Holy Dynasty, should have had an Aptitude similar to his own. Placed within a supreme power, he would be considered at a respectable level, though likely not top-tier.
However, the one thing he knew for certain was that the System was his greatest advantage.
Why not use a cheat if you have one?
Why wouldn't he?
He shook his head, suppressed his wandering thoughts, and closed his eyes again.
"Comprehending the Destruction Dao Law was just an accident; next, I should comprehend the Creation Dao Law."
With a thought, Han Xuanji first claimed the Creation Evolution Dao Scripture.
In an instant, a vast amount of information regarding the Cultivation Technique flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.
Unlike the "Life and Death Canon" or the "Five Elements Great Dao Secret Canon", the threshold for the "Creation Evolution Dao Scripture" was extremely high.
It not only required the practitioner to have an extremely high Comprehension Ability, but it also demanded a certain level of purity in their Eternal spiritual energy, as well as requirements for the Physical Body, Divine Soul, and even one's mental will.
Fortunately, his Foundation was solid, so this threshold was not high for him.
After Han Xuanji claimed the reward, the System transmitted the Cultivation Technique to him, allowing him to quickly grasp its mysteries. Therefore, even without anyone to guide him, he would not take any wrong turns.
This saved him an immeasurable amount of time.
...
Time passed, and a year went by.
"It is not difficult, actually."
Unknowingly, Han Xuanji had mastered the first level of the "Creation Evolution Dao Scripture", and his progress in the Creation Dao Law had risen to a level similar to that of the Destruction Dao Law.
The cultivation process had consumed quite a few Heaven And Earth Treasure, otherwise, it would not have been so fast.
However, since they were all obtained through Sign In, he did not feel the slightest heartache.
The "Creation Evolution Dao Scripture" used the power of creation as a guide to reorganize the Eternal spiritual energy within his body.
The previously surging Eternal spiritual energy, under the guidance of the power of creation, slowly contracted, like a lump of dough being kneaded—the more it was kneaded, the tighter and denser it became.
Within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the total amount of spiritual energy in his Dantian had decreased by nearly thirty percent.
However, his aura was much more solid than before.
Han Xuanji withdrew his thoughts and slowly opened his eyes.
He raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and a pale golden light emerged from his palm. He could feel that his Eternal spiritual energy had not only achieved a qualitative leap in purity, but it also possessed a brand-new characteristic.
This characteristic made his perception of all things more acute and his affinity for the breath of life stronger. Everything in the world took on a different kind of spirituality in his eyes—it was a form of malleability, allowing him to see the potential in all things.
It was somewhat similar to the System's scanning function, though not as detailed; it felt more like an intuition.
"And this is only the first level."
Han Xuanji mused inwardly, "If I Cultivate the entire technique to Major Achievement, I fear even more powerful characteristics will emerge."
He valued this Cultivation Technique more than any other.
After all, this was only the first volume, and it was already at the Saint Realm level.
The complete version would at least be a Saint Lord-level Cultivation Technique.
Even among the supreme powers, such a technique was not something an ordinary Prodigy could access.
It was not only precious but also extremely difficult to Cultivate; for ordinary people, choosing to practice it would be a waste of time.
"The increase in spiritual energy purity has also nourished my Physical Body. Now, if I Cultivate the Undying Creation Body again, it should be twice the result with half the effort."
Han Xuanji calculated inwardly.
The Undying Creation Body was a Saint-level Body Refining technique he had obtained by signing in at the Creation Platform. It used the power of creation to temper the body, making him basically immune to any injuries, and it possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities, far exceeding ordinary Body Refining techniques.
Corresponding to its strength was the extremely high requirement for the Foundation of the Physical Body, so he had originally planned to wait until his cultivation was higher before beginning to practice it.
Now that his Physical Body had become much stronger, comparable to an Eternal True Lord, it had already reached the minimum requirement for this Body Refining technique.
"As for the Divine Soul, I haven't fallen behind either."
Han Xuanji pondered secretly.
He had never ceased practicing the "Great Thousand Soul Canon", moving forward steadily without ever lagging behind.
"Besides, I still have it..."
Han Xuanji sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness.
There, the Chaos Green Lotus sat in the center, surrounded by a faint golden light.
He had used a drop of Creation Jade Dew to accelerate the growth of the Chaos Green Lotus. After the feedback, combined with the improvement in his physical Aptitude and Comprehension Ability, his Divine Soul had unknowingly become much stronger, far surpassing those of the same rank, and even exceeding his physical strength, sufficient to compare to a Middle Stage Eternal True Lord Cultivator.
As for his mental will, that went without saying. He had raised his mental will to the Eternal True God level at the Qianmeng Pavilion. Even those Prodigy Cultivators at the Eternal True Lord level who specialized in the Dao of the mind might not necessarily reach this height in his Realm.
If his Divine Soul were to advance further, reaching the Eternal True God level.
Combined with his Eternal True God-level mental will and supplemented by secret techniques, it would be enough to step into the Reincarnation rules of this world.
It was similar to what he had experienced in the Chaos.
Ordinary people died and that was the end of it; their next life would basically have no connection to their previous one.
"But strong practitioners at the Eternal True God level, even if they fall, as long as a trace of consciousness remains, they can use secret techniques to protect a wisp of their true spirit for Reincarnation and re-cultivation."
Han Xuanji had high-level access within the Hun Family and had studied many ancient texts, so he was very clear about this.
"As long as one has enough life-saving secret techniques, even enemies far above them in strength cannot completely annihilate an Eternal True God."
After all, even those strong practitioners of the Path of the Physical Body, even after entering the Saint Realm, were not adept at such things.
And those strong practitioners who cultivated the Samsara Dao Law and the Dao of the Divine Soul were much more sensitive.
But even such strong practitioners could not guarantee they would discover all of an opponent's life-saving secret techniques.
After all, some supreme Legacies had deeply researched life-saving methods, sufficient even to sever Karma.
Therefore, even some top-tier powerhouses would not make enemies everywhere, and Saint Realm experts would maintain respect for Eternal True Gods.
"I remember Hun Qianling telling me that on the Eternal Continent, there are always those breathtakingly brilliant Prodigies who seem born to be extraordinary."
Han Xuanji thought to himself, his gaze becoming profound.
"It is very likely that they are the Reincarnations of some ancient fossils, just playing on a'smurf account' and cultivating all over again."
