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

At the summit of the thousand-foot-tall White Bone Mountain, Lin Yuqiong, Hongchen Zhenren, Lin Yuyao, and even the disciples of Qilin City halfway up the mountain, all stared intently at the figure that streaked through the void like lightning and gradually disappeared into the distance.

"How dare you ignore this princess! Just you wait, you big bad guy! Next time I see you, I'll give you a good beating!" Lin Yuyao stared intently in the direction Chen Xuan had left, muttering under her breath, her face full of resentment.

"Nonsense!" However, as soon as she said this, she was sternly rebuked by her elder brother, Lin Yuqiong.

“Brother—” Lin Yuyao saw her older brother frowning at her and felt extremely wronged. When did her older brother, who had always doted on her, become so biased towards an outsider?

Seeing this, Master Hongchen reached out and gently rubbed Lin Yuyao's head, saying with a smile, "Junior sister, you really went too far this time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuyao looked at her beloved senior sister in shock, her eyes reddening: "Senior sister, even you are on his side? Waaah..."

Seeing that Lin Yuqiong was about to get angry and scold him again, Master Hongchen quickly waved his hand, indicating that he would handle it. Only then did Lin Yuqiong restrain herself from continuing to scold her younger sister.

"Junior Sister, are you aware of the current situation in Qilin City?" Master Hongchen asked with a serious expression.

Lin Yuyao looked at Senior Sister Hongchen with a puzzled expression, clearly unaware of the matter.

"Alas, our Qilin City, as one of the ten holy cities, seems to be infinitely glorious, but in reality, we are in an extremely awkward situation." True Man Hongchen shook his head helplessly. "Although our Qilin City has eight Celestial Immortal Ancestors, five of them have gone to other realms to train and explore, and three of them have clearly perished. The remaining three ancestors have also crossed the outer realms and have not returned for tens of thousands of years."

At this point, True Person Hongchen looked solemn, as if the heavy situation was making it hard for her to breathe.

"Our Qilin City actually has eight Celestial Immortal Ancestors?" Lin Yuyao's eyes widened, staring at her senior sister in utter shock. In her understanding, Qilin City's foundation was so profound, yet now...

“Eight? But now, only two of them can show up when Qilin City is in danger. The other one is currently in seclusion trying to break through to the True Immortal realm.” True Man Hongchen shook his head with a wry smile. “As one of the Ten Holy Cities, Qilin City only has two Heavenly Immortals in charge on the surface. Once it encounters a major crisis, its prestige will definitely be greatly reduced.”

"Senior sister, elder brother..." Lin Yuyao seemed to vaguely understand something, and looked timidly at Lin Yuqiong.

"So, junior sister, now you should understand why Yuqiong and I have been so eager to win over Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan, right?" True Master Hongchen looked at his junior sister with gentle eyes and said slowly.

"A big bad guy?" Lin Yuyao still found it hard to believe.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan knows nothing about immortal energy, which clearly indicates his innocent background. He was able to defeat Bai Qianhuan, the next Holy Son of the Heartless Saint, in a head-on confrontation at the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. As long as he is given enough resources and time to mature, he has a great chance of transcending tribulation and becoming a Celestial Immortal in the future."

As Master Hongchen spoke, he couldn't help but look in the direction Chen Xuan had left, and sighed, "Do you know how much help an additional Celestial Immortal would be to the current situation in Qilin City?"

"I...I..." Lin Yuyao never expected that Qilin City, which usually seemed majestic and powerful, was actually already in turmoil.

“Little sister, based on the sword path, the Taiyin and Taiyang path that Chen Xuan displayed today, as well as the lotus spell that combines ordinary gale and lightning, he already has the strength to become a disciple of the Ten Great Holy Lands.”

Lin Yuqiong looked at her younger sister and said earnestly, "Such an outstanding person, even if we cannot win him over to Qilin City, we must never antagonize him. If possible, it would be a blessing for you to marry him."

At this point, Lin Yuqiong's originally sharp eyes dimmed slightly. "Ten thousand years from now, it will be the crucial moment for the five quasi-sacred cities to challenge the ten sacred cities. Little sister, are you confident that you can cultivate immortal energy, overcome the heavenly tribulation, become a newly promoted celestial immortal, and stabilize Qilin City's status as a sacred city in the Flame Dragon Realm within ten thousand years?"
