"I can sense the incomparably sharp sword aura emanating from you. Among millions of cultivators who follow the sword path, one who comprehends the Great Dao of the Sword can be called a Sword Immortal."

As he said this, a hint of pride appeared on the old man's white face, and his eyes revealed his confidence in his divination skills. "Among millions of people, not even one person can enter the path of divination. So, do you think that someone at the Myriad Manifestations Realm or the Primordial Spirit Realm can get a Divination Earth Immortal to help them with just a few tens of thousands of so-called merit points?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan felt a surge of intense impulse. If his reason hadn't told him that doing so would have had enormous consequences, he would have been tempted to offer up a precious innate spiritual liquid as a reward.

Unfortunately, absolute rationality told him that such rash action would have consequences he could neither foresee nor bear.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming sighed and shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Seeing Chen Xuan so dejected and unwilling, the old man Bai Rong laughed heartily, his laughter carrying a hint of mockery: "Little fellow, you still need to cultivate your Dao heart. I can feel the fluctuations in your heart. Let me tell you a principle: a cultivator cannot be too obsessed with anything, otherwise it will become your weakness."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. It is the rule that I cannot force you. So, I will take my leave." Although Chen Xuan was unwilling, he understood the strictness of the rules.

His Dao heart trembled slightly; how could he not know the turmoil within his heart? But he couldn't let go of the safety of Linglong, Shihao, Xueqi, and the Old Celestial Master, nor could he possibly let go of it.

Upon realizing there was no hope, Chen Xuan bowed and turned to leave.

However, Bai Rong said, "But if you can do something for me, I might make an exception and help you once."

Chen Xuan had been on the verge of despair and was about to give up when he was surprised to find that there was still a chance for things to turn around. However, a sense of vigilance arose in his heart, and a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes: "Please enlighten me, senior. If I can do it, I will do my utmost, even at the cost of my life."

"It's not that serious." Seeing that Chen Xuan had indeed calmed down, Bai Rong nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation in her eyes. "At the end of the year, there will be the seed selection competition for the various God-Slaying Guard branches, which takes place once every fifty years. You were able to complete those four tasks in a row, so your strength should be quite good at the Myriad Manifestations Realm."

Zhou Ming was taken aback when he heard about the seed selection competition. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Senior, are you talking about the Star Lord selection competition of the Imperial Capital God Slaughtering Guard Headquarters?"

The old man, Bai Rong, nodded, a serious look on his face: "That's right. The seed that my Qingtian County selected last time was sent to the capital to participate in the ranking of the Star Lords at headquarters. It actually ranked at the very bottom of the list, 2,998. Because of this, every time my second primordial spirit meets with my old friends, they tease me. It's become a routine. It makes me so angry."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming felt secretly ashamed, lowered his head, and showed a hint of self-reproach on his face.

"I will personally intervene in the ranking of the Star Lords of the Qingtian County God-Slaying Guards." Bai Rong's eyes revealed a firm determination.

After saying that, Bai Rong looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Based on your ability to complete those four tasks in a row, I will directly reserve a spot for you to go to the capital to participate in the Star Lord Ranking Competition. You won't even need to participate in the selection at the branch locations. How about it?"

"If you agree, I will immediately help you deduce what you desire in your heart, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan hesitated.

The capital city is the center of the entire Xuanxiao Dynasty. Although he has considered going there to take a look, he really has no plans to set off in the near future, and he knows absolutely nothing about the capital city.

At the very least, I need to consult my master or my friend Qingtian Xiaolou about this before I can make a decision.

"However, as the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once. If we hesitate this time, we don't know how long we'll have to wait to find out the whereabouts of our clansmen and disciples." Bai Rong's voice carried a hint of seduction, as if whispering softly in Chen Xuan's ear.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Xuan said, "If you can help me deduce the whereabouts of my clansmen, then this trip to the capital will naturally be a piece of cake. But if... wouldn't that mean I'm at a huge loss? Not only will my wish not be fulfilled, but I'll also have to contribute my share of the labor and effort?"

"He's quite the cunning little fellow." Bai Rong was rather impressed. Chen Xuan's ability to remain calm in the face of danger and analyze the loopholes in her words was a rare quality among the younger generation.

"Alright, it's your decision. If I can't deduce the result, then this matter is off, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was overjoyed and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "If Senior's prediction is correct, Chen Xuan will certainly do his utmost to compete for the ranking of the Star Lord of Qingtian County."

“Good, that’s how it should be.” The old man Bai Rong chuckled, a satisfied smile on his face. “Tell me your clan’s surname, origin, the place where you went missing, and even the most important names.”

The question is asking about surnames.

Helpless, Chen Xuan could only rattle off all the surnames from his previous life, and even directly revealed the secrets of the Blue Star World, as well as the names of Jiang Linglong, Shi Hao, Lu Xueqi, and Wang Ye.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming and Bai Rong were both stunned, their eyes filled with doubt as they looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief.

Bai Rong almost laughed in anger, saying, "What a joke! A tribe can have hundreds of different surnames, wouldn't they all fight each other to the death?"
