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

The first day of the Lunar New Year should have been the most lively and joyous day for the Zelin Hailongxia clan.

However, due to Chen Xuan's solemn instructions and explanations, the faces of all the high-ranking members in the clan hall were shrouded in gloom, their expressions extremely solemn, as if a towering mountain was weighing heavily on their hearts.

At this moment, this secret matter concerning the fate of the tribe is known only to the high-ranking members of the Longxia clan.

However, the members in charge of each department keenly sensed a tense atmosphere, as if a huge storm was brewing, during what should have been a joyous and peaceful beginning of the year.

Beyond Zelin Sea, thousands of meters above the vast sky.

After carefully storing away the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion, Chen Xuan flashed away like a black lightning bolt, speeding towards the ancient academy sect 1.3 million miles away.

The twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month is the day when the mysterious and alluring ancient road to the immortal realm will open and descend.

As Chen Xuanfei crossed the Qushan territory, even he couldn't help but slowly turn his head and gaze at the direction of Zelinhai in the distance. His eyes were full of bitterness and resentment, as if that familiar land carried too many worries and helplessness for him.

"Master." Bai Li seemed to be able to deeply feel the heaviness and depression in Chen Xuan's heart at this moment. She lightly climbed onto his shoulder and gently rubbed his cheek with her small snake head. She said softly with heartache, "Linglong and the others are blessed by the heavens. They will surely turn bad luck into good and be safe and sound this time."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then stopped looking back and resolutely flew towards the endless sky. His departing figure exuded a sense of determination and resolve.

After that, Chen Xuan traveled day and night, rushing on his journey.

During this time, his second primordial spirit skillfully alternated with his main body. On the one hand, this was to maintain his peak strength as much as possible to deal with the dangers that might occur along the way; on the other hand, it was to ensure that the speed of travel could be maximized so as not to miss the opening of the ancient road to the immortal realm.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

In just ten days, Chen Xuan and Bai Li swept across Qingtian City like a whirlwind.

Qingtian City was still 300,000 li away from the Ancient Academy. But for the powerful Chen Xuan, this distance was only a three-day journey. So, he simply slowed down his frantic travel speed and took a short rest.

"I wonder if Senior Brother Sanzang, Senior Sister Piaoxue, and other fellow disciples have set off for the Ancient Academy yet."

On a quiet and chilly night, atop a towering peak a thousand meters high, Chen Xuan stared blankly at the roaring campfire, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Bai Li stood obediently to the side, carefully turning the food over and over, the flames reflecting off her, making her look especially warm.

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Bai Li raised her head and smiled, saying, "They may have already set off, after all, Qingtian City is quite close to the Ancient Academy."

Chen Xuan nodded, and after a moment's thought, said, "Then we need to get there as soon as possible and meet up with our fellow disciples."

“Yes, it would be best if we could enter the Ancient Immortal Realm together, so that we can look out for each other and help one another.” Bai Li said happily when she heard that her master wanted to travel with his fellow disciples, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Soon, a sumptuous meal was presented to Chen Xuan. However, Chen Xuan was still worried about his disciple Jiang Linglong, and he had no appetite. No matter what he ate, it tasted like wax and he had no desire to eat.

The meal was eaten quickly. Afterwards, Chen Xuan found a place at random, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to recover the mental energy and spiritual energy of his Purple Mansion that he had consumed during the day's frantic journey.
