Arriving swiftly at a remote village, Han Xu found Li Xunji, ostracized and embittered. Han Xu spoke directly, "Li Xunji, join my Immortal Path Sect. I know your true identity—the reincarnated Assassin Emperor. Don't squander your second chance."
Li Xunji hesitated, defensive at first, but Han Xu's sincerity and mysterious knowledge left him shaken. Surrendering his pride, he agreed to join. Han Xu led both disciples to a cave—the sect's hidden headquarters for now.
Before they could question further, Han Xu used system points to conjure a Heavenly Realm, revealing an ethereal expanse within. Zhu Xaner was sent to heal, while Han Xu privately handed Li Xunji two rare treasures: the Shadowless Night technique and the Shadow Asura Body Constitution. Li Xunji asked, "How do you know about my past?" Han Xu joked cryptically, deepening the sense of destiny and camaraderie in this fledgling, extraordinary sect.
