System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

During the gathering, Chen Xuan's sharp gaze carefully examined Jiang Ning's cultivation level and foundation, offering insightful and precise guidance from time to time. Jiang Ning listened attentively, feeling as if enlightened, gaining a great deal of knowledge, and held Chen Xuan in high esteem.

Time flies like an arrow, and the third day arrived as scheduled.

Amidst the eager anticipation and longing gazes of the crowd, Chen Xuan proudly appeared on the plaza of the ancestral hall.

After three days of news spreading, the Yinglong Guards and powerful demons scattered throughout Qushan rushed back upon hearing the news.

This grand forum on Daoist teachings is an opportunity that will be seized once in a lifetime for the cultivators at the bottom of Qushan Mountain.

Anyone with lofty ambitions to cultivate immortality knows the precious value of this discourse and no one wants to miss this rare opportunity to learn and exchange ideas.

This discussion and sermon lasted for three days. During this time, Chen Xuan spoke eloquently, sharing his insights and experiences in cultivation without reservation.

Everyone listened with rapt attention and benefited greatly. After the discussion, Chen Xuan bid a reluctant farewell to Elder Long and the others, then returned to the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion to prepare for secluded cultivation, hoping to reach a higher level on the path of immortality. He would not reappear before everyone until New Year's Eve.

While Chen Xuan's main body and second primordial spirit were immersed in cultivation, oblivious to the outside world, a turbulent and unpredictable scene unfolded within Qingtian City. A constant stream of explosive news emerged like a surging tide.

First, the news that the Immortal Realm Ancient Road Secret Realm was about to open was like a thunderclap in the cultivation world, attracting the attention of many forces.

Among those who arrived alone, aboard celestial-grade magical artifact warships, were top-tier tribes and super sects from other royal cities. Each of those warships was imposing and numbered no less than ten.

What is even more remarkable is that various forces from distant feudal lord lands, including branches of the Xuanxiao royal family, mostly used the teleportation arrays in the Immortal Slaying Hall, Dragon Slaying Guard, and God Slaying Guard in various cities to arrive at the Azure Dragon Mountain Range of Qingtian City in an instant, like ghosts.

Upon arrival, they immediately headed to Qingtian City, gathering information from all directions and busily beginning simple preparations.

During this period, the cultivators in Qingtian City had their eyes opened wide as many renowned and exceptionally powerful seedlings from super sects appeared.

Among them are three exceptionally talented and brilliant individuals whose strength is unparalleled among their peers. Like dazzling stars, their brilliance is enough to suppress their contemporaries and inspire awe.

As time slowly passes, the end of the year is drawing ever closer.

Legend has it that the two invincible figures of their generation in Qingtian City—Lielong Quge and the Jade Maiden Prodigy of the Tianxuan Clan—have also returned to Qingtian City from their respective training grounds.

Upon returning to her tribe, Qu Ge learned the devastating news that her younger brother had been killed by Chen Xuan. She was instantly enraged and her eyes burned with fury.

He openly declared that he would personally kill Chen Xuan to appease his brother's spirit in heaven.

Subsequently, Qu Ge, the Dragon Hunter, led a formidable group of people to Qingtian City along with the prodigies of the Tianxuan Clan.

He was full of confidence and looked down on everyone. He wanted to meet the geniuses and prodigies from various counties and cities to demonstrate his strength and prestige.

For a time, geniuses from all sides gathered here, their faces tense and each unwilling to yield to the other.

Among them, Qu Ge, a local dragon hunter from Qingtian City, is highly popular, and everyone has high hopes for him.

However, to everyone's surprise, in the subsequent clashes with the super tribe seeds from the four islands of the North Sea and even the immortal mountains beyond the realm, the Dragon Hunter Song was completely powerless to resist. After several exchanges, he secretly suffered losses and fell into a disadvantageous position.

This astonishing news spread like wildfire among the cultivators of various sects in Qingtian City, leaving everyone in shock.
