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

“Fellow Daoist, haven’t you gone a bit too far?” The woman in plain clothes stared coldly at Chen Xuan and said, “I, True Person Hongchen, have never been treated like this by my peers before.”

Chen Xuan gave a cold laugh, then closed his eyes and concentrated. In an instant, his divine sense, like a surging tide, spread out and enveloped all the cultivators exploring and searching for treasures on the first and second levels of the furnace with overwhelming force. Wherever his divine sense reached, it seemed to stir up an invisible storm, causing those cultivators to tremble involuntarily.

Chen Xuan's divine sense transmission was as loud as a bell, immediately exploding in the minds of all the cultivators in the Myriad Manifestations Realm: "If you don't come out to see me within three breaths, don't blame me, Chen Xuan, for unleashing a massacre."

Such a domineering telepathic message resounded directly in everyone's minds, causing all the Qilin City cultivators who had ventured deep into the furnace to search for treasure to change their expressions drastically. They abruptly turned their heads, looking towards the entrance, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

After transmitting his message with domineering divine sense, Chen Xuan turned to Gu Yingying and ordered, "If no one from Qilin City comes out of the furnace within three breaths, sweep them away without leaving any survivors."

Chen Xuan did not use telepathy to give this order. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by all the cultivators in Qilin City on the other side.

This immediately caused an uproar among the cultivators in Qilin City, who instantly unleashed their auras. Their auras surged like turbulent waves, colliding and intertwining, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

Most of them immediately unleashed their supernatural powers, with various colors of light flashing and the roar of spells ringing out incessantly. They intended to crush Chen Xuan directly to demonstrate the majesty of Qilin City.

"As you command, Master!"

This is Gu Yingying's first battle after becoming Chen Xuan's servant, how could she not take it seriously?

The value of a servant is demonstrated in helping their master solve problems time and again. Her eyes gleamed with excitement and loyalty, and the Gu poison surrounding her intensified, ready to obey Chen Xuan's commands and unleash a massacre at any moment.

"Whoohoo-"

However, before Gu Ying could reveal her true form from Gu Yingying's heart, a large number of cultivators from Qilin City rushed out of the furnace in a panic. They looked tense and hurried along, quickly joining up with their fellow disciples who were keeping watch outside, ready for battle.

As the cultivators who emerged relayed Chen Xuan's domineering telepathic message to everyone, the way everyone looked at Chen Xuan and his companions changed instantly. The contempt and disdain in their eyes vanished, replaced by deep apprehension.

Standing here, one can easily cover the entire furnace area with just one's divine sense and complete such a domineering transmission. This person's divine sense has probably already reached the primordial spirit level.

Of course, after Chen Xuan's intimidation, the cultivators of Qilin City were somewhat wary, but this method was not enough to make them back down.

Before long, a young man with rosy lips and white teeth and a stunningly beautiful young woman with light makeup and a slender, tall figure flew out in front of the group of cultivators from Qilin City.

The boy appeared to be only seventeen years old, yet he possessed striking good looks. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his gaze gleaming with a keen light, like the most brilliant stars in the night sky. His face naturally carried the emerging authority of a superior, and every gesture exuded an extraordinary air.

The girl, though only fifteen or sixteen years old, was like a celestial being reincarnated. A ribbon encircled her body, shimmering with a soft light, like a flowing stream protecting her. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin as white as snow, and her eyes clear and bright, yet at this moment, she looked at Chen Xuan and the other two with unusual indifference.

"Fellow Daoist," the young man said calmly to Chen Xuan, bowing with clasped hands, "my name is Lin Yuqiong, and this is my younger sister, Lin Yuyao."

Chen Xuan simply watched the two of them calmly, remaining silent, his eyes revealing a hint of scrutiny.

"I wonder if this fellow Daoist would be willing to hand over the furnace token to my Qilin City? My brother and I will naturally give you a satisfactory reward."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Alright, if you can produce twelve Great Dao artifact embryos, I will give this token to your Qilin City, how about that?"

Upon hearing that there were twelve Dao artifact embryos, Lin Yuqiong's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

At first glance, he saw that Chen Xuan and the other two were neither from the same sect nor from a super tribe, and they did not have a familiar aura.

Thinking he could offer enough source liquid to persuade them to give up the furnace token, he never expected that the other party was also a disciple with profound knowledge, who actually knew that the greatest opportunity here was the Great Dao artifact embryo.

"Hmph, you're asking for it! Brother, don't waste your breath on me. I'll bring you the token right now." Before Lin Yuqiong could even speak, the girl beside him, Lin Yuyao, immediately revealed her true nature, uttering such arrogant words. Her eyes were full of arrogance and disdain, as if she didn't take Chen Xuan and the other two seriously at all.

As the saying goes, spilled water cannot be gathered up again. After seeing the change in the expressions of Chen Xuan and the other two, Lin Yuqiong could only sigh helplessly and said to them, "Originally, I wanted to obtain this token through a peaceful exchange, but I did not expect that your request would be so excessive. In that case, I can only expend some more of my combat power."

After he finished speaking...

Lin Yuqiong nodded slightly to her younger sister.

After receiving her brother's nod of approval, the stunningly beautiful young woman, Lin Yuyao, immediately emitted a dazzling divine light between her brows.

Her aura surged instantly, and the powerful divine energy fluctuations caused the surrounding air to tremble. "Since brother wants to conserve his strength, then I will kill them all in one move. This way, it won't affect the subsequent competition for the Enlightenment Tree, and I can also conveniently obtain the great opportunity here."

"Oh?" Upon hearing such a secret, Chen Xuan smiled. Fortunately, the two sides hadn't immediately swept each other aside upon their first meeting, otherwise they really wouldn't have known this news.

"The Enlightenment Tree?" Upon hearing the Enlightenment Tree, Gu Yingying immediately transmitted her voice to Chen Xuandao, "Master, it seems that Qilin City must have a deep connection with a certain holy land in one of the major star regions, otherwise they wouldn't know the location of the Enlightenment Tree on the Ancient Road of the Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing Gu Yingying's words, Chen Xuan smiled and looked at the girl radiating divine light, saying, "So, we still can't kill them all?"

"It's best to keep them alive. As for extracting the secrets about the Enlightenment Tree, hand them over to your subordinates," Gu Yingying confidently transmitted her voice. "My Gu God Sect may not have many other skills, but we have plenty of ways to torture people."
