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

When Piaoxue saw Chen Xuan appear before her unharmed, her eyes instantly reddened slightly, her worry and joy intertwined.

She hurried forward, her eyes filled with concern, and carefully examined Chen Xuan's body. Fortunately, Chen Xuan's blood and energy were abundant, flowing like a rushing river, and he seemed to be alright.

Piaoxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that her junior brother must have escaped danger thanks to the treasure bestowed upon him by Master Qiandao.

"It's good that we escaped safely, Junior Brother. We really owe you a lot this time." Piaoxue's voice was soft and grateful, carrying a hint of relief at surviving a close call. She subconsciously assumed that Chen Xuan's safe arrival here must have involved some kind of miraculous escape technique. "If it weren't for your timely intervention, Junior Brother, I'm afraid I would have..."

The last time the two met was in the Hall of Discussions. Time flies, and almost three years have passed since they last saw each other.

However, my senior sister is still the same ethereal and unique woman I remember, especially her warm and charming smile, which is as familiar and endearing as ever.

"Senior sister, why didn't you take advantage of this time to completely restore your foundation?" Chen Xuan said, taking a step forward and naturally holding Piaoxue's hand, gently placing two fingers on her wrist to feel the pulse of her meridians.

In the past, Chen Xuan was inevitably somewhat reserved in front of Piao Xue due to the difference in his own strength and status, and dared not make such intimate gestures.

But now, he has entered the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and his strength is arguably the best among the second-generation disciples of Xuanqing Palace. There is no longer a difference in status between him and Piaoxue, and he no longer feels the pressure of the past when making such a move.

When her junior brother suddenly grabbed her hand, Piaoxue instinctively wanted to pull back, but when she saw the solemn and concerned look on Chen Xuan's face, she gave up struggling.

Her voice was soft and tinged with helplessness as she said, "This time, in order to save my life, I desperately used four forbidden techniques. I thought my path to immortality was severed, with no possibility of reversal, but I never expected..."

As Piaoxue gazed intently at Chen Xuan, the scene of her first encounter with him in the Hall of Proof of the Dao involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

At that time, Chen Xuan swept through a group of third-generation and second-generation disciples in the Hall of Proof of the Dao. His demeanor made Piaoxue both curious and feel close to him, but that was all.

However, as time went on, Chen Xuan's performance became increasingly extraordinary, and his strength continued to improve, even putting unprecedented pressure on Piao Xue herself.

So she personally stepped in to instruct Chen Xuan, but ultimately she was defeated by her junior brother's sword, which contained the supreme Dao. From then on, Chen Xuan's image left a deep imprint on her heart.

Later, upon learning that Grandmaster Qiandao had taken Chen Xuan as his disciple, and during the days when the top disciples of the second generation gathered in the Hall of Proving the Dao to exchange ideas and discuss the Dao, Piaoxue gradually discovered that this junior brother who had entered the sect earlier possessed a monstrous comprehension of the Dao.

She was completely impressed by Chen Xuan's strength, and her admiration for him grew day by day.

From a young age, Piaoxue harbored lofty ambitions to become an immortal. The reason she remained in the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm for a hundred years was not only to wait for the once-in-a-century opening of the Sword Realm Map, but also to continuously accumulate power and gather precious spiritual liquid, making full preparations for embarking on the ancient road to the Immortal Realm.

Thinking of this, Piaoxue shook her head with a wry smile, her tone tinged with regret: "Years of careful preparation and planning have been almost completely exhausted before we even stepped onto the ancient road to the Immortal Realm."

Chen Xuan carefully sensed his senior sister's meridians and found that her foundational injuries had basically recovered, leaving only some minor injuries. Only then did he feel relieved enough to release Piaoxue's wrist.
