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

Seeing the shocked and incredulous expressions on the faces of Wang Kaixuan, Senior Sister Qinglian, and the others, Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and he turned to look at Senior Sister Piaoxue.

Senior Sister Piaoxue, quick-witted and intelligent, instantly understood her junior brother's intentions. Although she didn't understand why he was concealing the truth from his fellow disciples, she knew he must have his reasons. She smiled and nodded, echoing, "I was able to escape death this time entirely thanks to your help. If it weren't for your timely appearance, I..."

As Senior Sister Piaoxue spoke, she gazed at Chen Xuan with deep affection, her eyes filled with tenderness. This scene was witnessed by Senior Sister Qinglian and the others beside her.

The group exchanged knowing glances, and Feng Yue secretly reached out and gently pinched Qing Lian's sleeve, laughing through telepathy, "Oh no, oh no! Senior Sister Piao Xue seems to have fallen for Junior Brother Bei Ming. What are we going to do? We're going to be under a lot of pressure from now on!"

"What time is it? You're still joking around! Be serious!" Qinglian glared at Fengyue, then composed herself and pretended to look at Chen Xuan and Senior Sister Piaoxue in the arena as if nothing had happened.

The Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace adheres to the strategy of cultivating elite disciples. Compared with those large sects that often have millions of disciples, the number of formal disciples in the sect is pitifully small, a world of difference.

This is why the camaraderie among the second and third generation disciples of Xuanqing Palace is extremely deep. Even if there are occasional conflicts, they are always confined to the sect. Once outside the sect and facing external enemies, the disciples of Xuanqing Palace are always united and share a common hatred for the enemy.

As the Xuanqing Palace disciples eagerly exchanged information on the deck of the warship, Chen Xuan and Piaoxue gradually gained a clear understanding of the current situation at the gathering point of the Immortal Realm Ancient Road.

Upon hearing that their master, the Heartless Ancestor, was personally overseeing the area, both were shocked, their faces showing expressions of astonishment.

"Let's go! We'll head over immediately to pay our respects to Grandmaster Jueqing!" Chen Xuan suggested with a determined look in his eyes.

The disciples of Xuanqing Palace nodded in unison.

In the blink of an eye, the majestic Earth-rank magic weapon warship, under Chen Xuan's control, rapidly shrank, transforming into a streak of light, and was stored in Chen Xuan's storage magic treasure. At the same time, Bai Li also flashed, transforming into a streak of black light, and instantly returned to Chen Xuan's wrist to lie dormant.

High in the sky, a group of sixteen people flew in a grand procession, like a flock of eagles soaring through the heavens, heading straight for the gathering point of Xuanqing Palace. Along the way, Chen Xuan nodded several times to the gathering points of the four major academies and the Heaven and Earth Taiqing Palace to show goodwill.

Of course, when passing the gathering points of the Lielong Clan and Tianxuan Clan, a cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes as he coldly glanced at them.

He naturally wouldn't forget the many unkind things those two tribes had done to him and Xuanqing Palace in the past. Incidentally, Chen Xuan also took note of the peerless talents sent by the four islands of the North Sea this time.

However, unless a cultivator actively releases their aura, it is extremely difficult to discern the depth of their cultivation level from their appearance alone. Chen Xuan only glanced at them briefly, leaving only a vague impression in his mind.

Chen Xuan scanned his surroundings but couldn't find any trace of the mysterious Nalan clan's gathering point. A sense of unease arose in his heart, and he quickly used telepathy to inquire of Senior Sister Qinglian and the others.

Qinglian and the others, having learned the relevant information, immediately told Chen Xuan all the details they knew without reservation.

Wang Kaixuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "I've heard that the Nalan clan is a super tribe. Its power is extremely vast. Not only does it possess the title of king in three Juancheng, but it also has at least one Celestial Immortal Ancestor presiding over it!"

Upon hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, everyone gasped in astonishment. Celestial Immortals were legendary figures in Qingtian County, high above and unattainable. None of the people present had ever had the privilege of witnessing the magnificence of the Celestial Immortal Ancestor.

Now that they heard that the Nalan clan actually had a Celestial Ancestor in charge and that the clan's power spanned three prefectures, everyone was shocked and secretly wondered just how powerful this super clan was.

"Don't look at me like that." Seeing his fellow disciples staring at him with surprise, Wang Kaixuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and explained with a wry smile, "This information comes from an accidental fall off a cliff where I stumbled upon a tomb of immortals."

"And in that tomb, there was an ancient book. I saw this record in the book. The immortal failed his tribulation and knew that his time was coming to an end. He had also completely lost the chance to be reincarnated. Before his death, he recorded his life experiences in detail. Among them, he mentioned his past when he left Qingtian County to make his way in the world when he was young. Among them was his difficult journey from the Myriad Manifestations Realm to the Void Realm."

As the group flew rapidly toward the sect's gathering point, they listened intently to Wang Kaixuan's story.

Chen Xuan knew perfectly well that, based on his understanding of his senior brother, his senior brother must have stumbled upon the tomb of some immortal by chance and found this ancient book containing secrets within the tomb.

"The deceased immortal recounted that when he was in the mid-stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he went to the Nalan Three Kings City. There, he went through countless hardships and dangers, and by chance, he became a personal guard within the Nalan clan. Later, in a great battle to help the Nalan clan seize resources, he fought bravely and made great contributions. To reward him, the Nalan clan bestowed upon him a top-grade Heavenly Treasure that could defy fate and break through the upper limit of the Purple Mansion."

"It is said that it is an extremely precious pill called the 'Heaven-Seizing Creation Pill,' a genuine sixth-grade immortal pill!" Wang Kaixuan lowered his voice and used telepathy to tell everyone this secret.

Sorry, let me clarify something. This novel started serialization last April. During that time, Bai Long created the plot himself and wrote it all by hand. He only used voice to type a few times when he had back pain and couldn't sit.

By the way, regarding the AI-written novel, whether it's Doubao or DfuC, I apologize for not knowing English, since I only have an elementary school education, but I can swear that I only used AI to polish the articles. When you read the first 400,000 to 500,000 words, there were still many obvious typos, grammatical errors, etc., but there were very few after that, which is because of this tool.

What Bai Long also wants to say is that the articles generated entirely by AI are really rubbish, stiff, and lack any spirit. I've tested them, and they're unbearable to look at.

Bai Long only used AI to correct typos and polish paragraphs; he never let it generate content autonomously, which is a certainty.

Specifically, you give him a 2000-word manuscript and ask him to correct typos, misspellings, grammatical errors, and polish the sentences. That's all.
