The light of the Bodhi Dao Fruit had not yet faded, but the radiant glows on many cultivators were already rising and falling, one after another.

The entire venue was enveloped in an atmosphere of inexplicable strangeness.

"Heh, there are actually those who can break through..." Reincarnation Palace Master raised an eyebrow, looking towards a seat far in the back.

A young man, who had accompanied his family's ancestor to the event and unexpectedly gained a Dao Fruit, was erupting with azure light. His aura was rapidly increasing, his cultivation breaking straight through the mid-stage Golden Immortal bottleneck and entering the late-stage Golden Immortal realm.

Before the commotion subsided, another cry rang out, and seven or eight people broke through in succession.

Reincarnation Palace Master casually glanced around, noticing that they were mostly cultivators below the Grand Yi realm. After all, the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it was to break through.

However, the excited expressions on the faces of those Grand Yi realm cultivators indicated that they had also received considerable benefits. Although they didn't break through, they would certainly have fewer hidden dangers on their future cultivation paths.

Although the Dao Fruits consumed by Grand Luo realm cultivators were generally of a higher grade, they were limited by their already high cultivation. Any bottlenecks they faced were major hurdles on their cultivation path, making it difficult to achieve immediate results.

Nevertheless, there were naturally benefits. However, they were usually calm and collected, rarely showing any emotion, even if they had gained a lot.

This continued for a long time, and the commotion in the venue gradually subsided.

"At this banquet, to witness fellow Daoists encounter opportunities and witness such a grand scene, it has not been in vain for the Celestial Court's good intentions," Gu Huo Jin said with a smile, his eyes sweeping over the crowd.

"All thanks to His Excellency the Supreme, who generously bestowed immortal opportunities and the Bodhi Dao Fruit. We are grateful and bow in thanks," a young man in a moon-white robe, who had just broken through a realm and whose aura had not yet fully stabilized, stood up with undisguised excitement and bowed to the Time Dao Ancestor.

The other Grand Yi cultivators and many Grand Luo cultivators who had gained immortal opportunities also rose and thanked the Celestial Court.

Reincarnation Palace Master watched this scene, a smile appearing in his eyes as he muttered to himself:

"The Celestial Court's methods are indeed extraordinary. A mere Bodhi Dao Fruit can attract so many followers. It's truly enviable..."

His voice was not loud and he did not deliberately use his magical power to amplify it, but everyone present was of such high cultivation, and many were constantly focusing a wisp of their divine sense on him. Therefore, as soon as he said this, all eyes turned to him.

Apart from a few who showed disapproval, most people looked displeased, frowning or angry.

"Humph! Reincarnation Palace has always opposed the Celestial Court, defied the heavenly Dao, and disrupted the proper order, making the entire True Immortal Realm a chaotic mess. His Excellency the Supreme is gracious to allow you to share this grand banquet, yet you dare to speak so presumptuously..." An old man with white hair and a beard, filled with righteous indignation, couldn't help but stand up and curse.

Seeing this, others also spoke out, criticizing Reincarnation Palace for its improper actions.

For a moment, the entire venue was like a magpie's nest, chattering non-stop, creating a rather chaotic scene.

Hearing this, Gu Huo Jin did not show any anger, still smiling.

He raised his hand and pressed down in front of him, signaling everyone to be calm. The surroundings quickly returned to silence.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to be like this. The old grudges between the Celestial Court and Reincarnation Palace have entangled us for endless years. It is difficult to investigate the origins and determine who is right and wrong. Inviting the Reincarnation Palace Master to this Bodhi banquet is not to condemn him, but to jointly seek a path to end the conflict," Gu Huo Jin said.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in praise, secretly commending the Time Dao Ancestor for his understanding of righteousness, worthy of being the common leader of the Immortal Realm and a giant of the righteous path.

"A good path to seek peace and end conflict. In this world, I'm afraid there isn't a second person who can say such high-sounding words without blushing," Reincarnation Palace Master laughed loudly.

"Does the Palace Master doubt my sincerity? The fact that I allowed the Palace Master to enter this Jade Pool venue safely, without sending troops to suppress the Reincarnation Palace rebels outside the Heavenly Gate, does not already show my sincerity? As long as the Palace Master is willing to cease the conflict and stop the fighting... we can become friends and bury the hatchet, which would be a good story for the Immortal Realm to pass down for millions of years," Gu Huo Jin said slowly, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Hearing this, the expressions of the many cultivators present changed, and a hint of anger flashed in the eyes of many.

"Does His Excellency want to become friends with such a rogue? To erase the hatred with Reincarnation Palace? Then how should my hatred be counted? How should the hatred of those loyal and righteous people who were harmed by Reincarnation Palace for the sake of the Celestial Court be counted?" Cangwu Zhenjun stood up indignantly, questioning in a loud voice.

"Fellow Daoist Cangwu, hatred begets hatred, when will this end? Over the years, many people have died in the Celestial Court, and how many fewer have died in Reincarnation Palace? If this hatred and karma are not erased, how many more loyal and righteous people will die for it in the future? How can this hatred be repaid?" Gu Huo Jin looked at him deeply and advised him earnestly.

"Haha... a good hatred begets hatred, when will this end. Since the Celestial Court is unwilling, after leaving Jade Pool, I, Cangwu, will do it myself," Cangwu Zhenjun said with a sad expression, laughing loudly to the sky.

"The Celestial Court is not entirely filled with useless yes-men, there are still some with backbone," Reincarnation Palace Master said, his eyes showing a hint of appreciation.

"Palace Master, the Celestial Court's sincerity is already on display. Are you really unwilling to accept reconciliation?" Gu Huo Jin asked, frowning.

"Reconciliation? Haha... I have a suggestion. Please, Fellow Daoist Gu, take a look at my true face, and then decide whether or not to reconcile, how about that?" Reincarnation Palace Master laughed madly, and then raised his hand and took off the hat he wore on his face all day long.

Unlike the immortal demeanor or fierce ugliness that everyone present had guessed, it was a rather ordinary young man's face.

The Time Dao Ancestor's body trembled slightly, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

The other Dao Ancestors also changed color, especially Li Yuanjiu, the master of the Nine Yuan Temple.

"Han Li?" Li Yuanjiu leaned forward slightly and couldn't help but call out this name.

Most of the people present were no longer unfamiliar with this name.

This name was initially mentioned sporadically, sometimes involving people from the Celestial Court, sometimes involving the demon and monster races, and sometimes it seemed that they had received some rumors about this person from the Surveillance Immortal Envoy.

Of course, the event that truly attracted the attention of the entire Celestial Court was when Han Li single-handedly attacked the Golden Origin Immortal Palace, completely ignoring the authority of the Celestial Court. After that, they heard this name more and more frequently.

Not long ago, the newly promoted Celestial Court wanted criminal who defeated Dao Ancestor Feng Qingshui was also named "Han Li."

As for his later act of killing Xuanyuan Jie, one of the Seven Monarchs, because it was during the Bodhi Banquet, not so many people knew about it. Even if they heard some rumors, they might not believe it.

Even if this person's experience was so bizarre, it was simply unbelievable that a Grand Luo realm cultivator had killed Xuanyuan Jie, one of the Seven Monarchs.

"How is it possible? The Reincarnation Palace Master is actually that Han Li?"

"He is that Han Li? He looks very ordinary..."

"This... that's not right, the time doesn't seem to match up..." A Grand Luo cultivator who had fought with Reincarnation Palace for many years also muttered.

"Han Li, isn't he cultivating the law of time? What's going on?"

"Could it be that the assassination of His Excellency Xuanyuan Jie is true? Is it the work of Reincarnation Palace?"

…

For a time, the entire Jade Pool venue was in chaos. There were all kinds of speculations about the Reincarnation Palace Master and "Han Li." The discussions were even more lively than before.

Combining the various bizarre rumors of the past with the influence of Reincarnation Palace, now so many top cultivators in the entire venue were confused by the name "Han Li." In their conversations, the name mentioned the most was also "Han Li."

Yu Meng Han, who was sitting behind Meng Po, was even more shocked. The moment she saw his face clearly, she almost couldn't help but stand up, but fortunately her master discovered it and suppressed her in time.

"Girl, don't move rashly," Meng Po transmitted a message using a secret technique.

She didn't know why Yu Meng Han would suddenly lose her composure, but she vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the *Five Thunder Righteous Method True Scripture*.

However, Yu Meng Han quickly calmed down. She carefully looked at the Reincarnation Palace Master for a moment and muttered:

"No, it's not him..."

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum, and no one noticed it.

"No wonder Old Ancestor Chen Tuan's many divinations were all obscured by clouds and fog, and he never found the method. It turns out that the cycle of cause and effect has already been disrupted. No wonder, no wonder..." Gu Huo Jin said slowly, letting out a breath as if the doubts that had lingered in his heart for many years had finally been resolved.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Gu has already sorted out these various reasons?" Reincarnation Palace Master raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Perhaps I wasn't very clear before, but now that I have comprehended the mysteries of the past heavenly hexagrams, combined with what I have seen and heard, I have gained a superficial understanding. So, you are Han Li, Han Li... is also you?" Gu Huo Jin nodded and said something that few people could understand.

"Back then, you said 'The great path is a solitary journey, how can it allow covetousness?' and you hunted me down to the point of no return, killing my Dao companion and forcing me into a desperate situation. Only then did I fight to the death on the verge of death, and as a result, I crossed through time and space by chance and became the current Reincarnation Palace Master. Do you think such hatred can be buried with a smile?" Reincarnation Palace Master did not answer Gu Huo Jin, but changed the subject.

The Law of Time? Crossing through time and space? The more the people present listened, the more confused they became, and the more shocked they felt.

Only Li Yuanjiu frowned at first, then his body twitched, as if he had guessed something.

Of course, he knew that one person could not practice two Supreme Laws at the same time. This Palace Master, who was proficient in the Law of Reincarnation, and that Han Li, who practiced the power of the Law of Time, were one person and not one person.

Then, who was the one who passed on the gong to him back then?
