Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 795: Extremely Noble, Ascending in a Single Step

The Hun Family.

Han Xuanji saw from afar that the Hun Family’s residence was brightly lit and bustling with people.

Hun Qianxue stood at the very front, with Hun Qianling, Hun Jiuge, Wang Ping, Li Tiantong, and a crowd of familiar faces behind him, along with many core disciples and Elders of the Hun Family. Everyone’s face carried anticipation and excitement.

As soon as Han Xuanji landed, Hun Qianxue strode up to greet him, his smile even brighter than it had been on the high platform at the Law Conference. He looked Han Xuanji up and down, and only after confirming he was unharmed did he set his mind at ease.

“Xuanji!”

Hun Qianxue patted his shoulder, his tone filled with eagerness:

“You’ve finally returned! We’ve all been waiting for you!”

Hun Qianling behind him also stepped forward quickly, her gaze falling on Han Xuanji’s face with a hint of concern and curiosity:

“How did it go? What did Elder Meng want with you?”

Once these words were spoken, the surrounding voices quieted down, and everyone’s gaze focused on Han Xuanji.

In a frontier place like Qianhun City, being able to be accepted as a disciple by a Sage of the Great Dao Association was an fated opportunity one wouldn’t even dare to imagine.

If it were true, then the Hun Family’s status in Qianhun City henceforth would likely be unshakable by anyone.

Han Xuanji swept his gaze over everyone’s expressions and smiled slightly.

When he first arrived at the Hun Family, some had been dissatisfied with him, but after his actions over the past few times, no one in the entire Hun Family had any objections anymore.

It could even be said that the prestige of Hun Qianxue, the Family Head, was not as high as his own now.

However, Han Xuanji pondered for a moment and still did not answer the question.

After all, his Master had accepted him as a disciple privately and likely intended to announce it after a month; it would not be good for him to spread the news now.

Seeing that Han Xuanji did not want to speak in public, Hun Qianxue quickly brought up other topics and did not dwell on the matter.

Since Han Xuanji had already made an appearance, the crowd did not bore themselves by crowding around him.

Following Hun Qianxue’s lead, he passed through the throng of people and walked into the main hall.

The hall doors slowly closed behind them, shutting out the clamor of the outside world.

Inside the main hall, only Hun Qianxue, Hun Qianling, and Han Xuanji remained.

Hun Qianxue turned around, his gaze filled with curiosity:

“Xuanji, there are no outsiders here now. Tell me the truth: what is going on with Elder Meng looking for you?”

Han Xuanji did not beat around the bush and spoke calmly:

“Elder Meng did indeed want to take me as his Disciple.”

Hun Qianxue’s eyes lit up, and just as he was about to offer congratulations, Han Xuanji’s next sentence stunned him.

“However, I did not agree.”

The smile on Hun Qianxue’s face froze, and Hun Qianling beside him also widened her eyes, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Hun Qianxue opened his mouth, thought for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence:

“You didn’t agree? That is a Sage of the Great Dao Association…”

Han Xuanji looked at his expression, smiled, and added:

“Because I have taken someone else as my Master.”

Hun Qianxue was slightly startled:

“Someone else? Who? Could there be someone even more formidable than Elder Meng?”

Han Xuanji unhurriedly spat out four words:

“Nine Profound Holy Lord.”

The main hall was silent for several breaths.

Hun Qianxue’s expression went from confusion to astonishment, and then to shock; the changes were so rapid it was dizzying.

He kept his mouth open, and it took a long time for him to recover, his voice raising a few octaves:

“Wait… who did you say? Nine Profound Holy Lord?”

Hun Qianling beside him also subconsciously repeated:

“Nine Profound Holy Lord?”

Han Xuanji confirmed it again:

“That’s right, it is the Nine Profound Holy Lord. He accepted me as his Disciple in person today, and Elder Meng was right there.”

He did not say anything more. Let them figure it out themselves.

Hun Qianxue and Hun Qianling exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguisable shock in each other’s eyes. Naturally, Han Xuanji could not be joking about such a matter.

If it were true, the weight of this would be completely different.

“Do you know what kind of figure the Nine Profound Holy Lord is?”

Hun Qianxue took a deep breath, his voice lowering with a tone never heard before:

“When my father was still around, he once mentioned it to me. The Nine Profound Holy Lord is a direct descendant of the previous Holy Emperor of the Holy Court and a Direct Disciple of the Four Great Holy Venerables. His background is so deep and his status so noble that he belongs to the very top tier of the entire Holy Court.”

Hearing this, Han Xuanji was also slightly stunned.

Although Mo Chenxiao had accepted him as a disciple, he had not elaborated on his own background. He had only thought Mo Chenxiao was a Holy Lord with a deep background, but he had not expected it to be to this extent.

“No wonder he produced three Green Origin Hongmeng Dao Fruits the moment he acted, and no wonder he said that when it came to the Way of Destiny, those in the entire Holy Court more proficient than him could be counted on one hand.”

Thoughts swirled in Han Xuanji’s mind; no wonder the other party could be so generous. With such status and family wealth, it was truly extraordinary.

Seeing his expression, Hun Qianxue knew that he had also just learned of this, and could not help but exclaim:

“It seems he really values you. Otherwise, with his status, he would never have run to a place like Qianhun City in person.”

Han Xuanji nodded without replying. He knew clearly in his heart that Mo Chenxiao accepting him as a disciple was very likely because the other party practiced the Way of Destiny and perhaps truly saw his extraordinary nature.

If it were truly as Hun Qianxue said, the number of Prodigies wanting to take him as a Master should be countless.

The likes of Ling Cang and Song Tiancheng were not even in the other party’s consideration.

Hun Qianxue patted Han Xuanji’s shoulder, his tone filled with a mix of emotion and anticipation:

“Since you have taken such a Master, your path from now on will be completely different. Cultivate well and do not waste this fated opportunity.”

He did not say anything else.

By entering the sect of a Holy Lord, from now on, Han Xuanji could be said to have ascended in a single step.

Even looking across the entire region, it was an extremely noble status, and the people he would come into contact with in the future would be vastly different.

Han Xuanji nodded slightly:

“I understand, and I will not forget the help from you, Brother Qianxue.”

He did not make any promises because it was unnecessary.

Hun Qianxue and Hun Qianling also nodded, knowing that Han Xuanji was not a heartless or ungrateful person. Furthermore, the help they had given Han Xuanji was just that—if Han Xuanji had revealed his talent earlier, any power in the entire Jiuxuan Prefecture would have gone crazy for him.

After exchanging words with the two, Han Xuanji also frankly informed them that he would leave Qianhun City in a month.

The two were not surprised, quickly accepted this fact, and congratulated Han Xuanji on being able to develop better.

Han Xuanji bade farewell to the two and returned to the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven.

The clamor of the outside world was completely cut off.

Han Xuanji sat cross-legged, reached into his bosom, took out the Green Origin Hongmeng Dao Fruit, and examined it closely.

The fruit peel was lush and dripping with green, emitting a faint fragrance. Just by smelling it, his spiritual platform felt a bit clearer.
