In the world of cultivators, age is never the standard for measuring status; strength is the ironclad rule that distinguishes superiors from inferiors.
As intelligent as Zhan Xin was, upon seeing the two women appear in the Immortal Abode and become familiar with Chen Xuan's second primordial spirit, he immediately guessed their importance in Chen Xuan's heart.
If it were the proud and aloof Zhan Xin of the past, she probably wouldn't have given Zi Mo a second glance. But now, under Chen Xuan's influence, she has long since shed her obsession, and her state of mind has undergone a tremendous transformation.
Furthermore, since he had met Chen Xuan later than the two women, he naturally couldn't be impolite given his politeness.
Zhan Xin rarely showed a gentle smile. She stepped forward and gently took Zi Mo's hand, helping her up: "Now that we meet again, let's not be so formal." As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously swept over Zi Mo.
Although Zi Mo did not possess the sharp, murderous aura of a sword cultivator, he was surrounded by an elegant and refined demeanor imbued with the fragrance of books. Even Zhan Xin secretly admired this quality.
"If you won't abandon me, how about we treat each other as sisters from now on?" Zhanxin said sincerely, her eyes full of expectation.
Zi Mo was both surprised and delighted, and quickly said softly, "Zi Mo greets Sister Zhan Xin."
"Me too, me too!" Bai Li, who had transformed into a girl in white at some point, hopped over and skipped over, looking mischievous and playful.
At this moment, only Chen Xuan, the second primordial spirit, stood frozen in place, watching this harmonious scene before him. His mind involuntarily drifted to the palace intrigue drama "The True Cycle" he had watched in his previous life. He muttered to himself, "This isn't like the legends. Logically, shouldn't they be beheading each other now that they've met?"
The slightly awkward atmosphere caused by Tianxing's "blunder" gradually eased as everyone talked.
Tianxing stopped being coy and came out to greet Zhanxin openly.
Subsequently, at Chen Xuan's suggestion, Zi Mo and Tian Xing each found a room to seclude themselves and focus on absorbing and refining the medicinal effects of the Demon Blood Divine Fruit.
Bai Li then transformed back into a small black snake, affectionately coiling around the wrist of Chen Xuan, the second primordial spirit.
Gu Ying was somewhat averse to his master's "gossip" and dared not listen to it too much, so he turned around and went back to his room to continue his secluded cultivation.
After everyone dispersed, Zhan Xin gently pinched the soft flesh on Chen Xuan's waist and scolded in a low voice, "Well, what are you planning to do? A harem gathering, huh?"
Chen Xuan quickly raised his hands in surrender and argued, "What does this have to do with me? It's all my doing, my wife."
Upon hearing the affectionate term "wife" unique to Chen Xuan's tribe, Zhan Xin's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she said coquettishly, "Do you think I'm a mortal? My master cultivated a second primordial spirit thousands of years ago. Don't think I don't know that the second primordial spirit and the original body are connected. You still want to make excuses?"
Seeing that no one was around, Chen Xuan pulled Zhan Xin into his arms and gently patted her buttocks. Zhan Xin's delicate body trembled violently, and she almost collapsed in Chen Xuan's arms. She looked around in panic and said angrily, "Are you trying to kill me? All the other sisters are here."
"Hehe." Chen Xuan chuckled and briefly explained his current actions and future plans.
"The Enlightenment Tree? There really is such a precious tree in the world, whose power rivals creation itself?" Zhan Xin's eyes gleamed with intense curiosity.
“Yes, we were born in this corner of Qingtian County. Compared with the disciples of Qilin City, our vision and knowledge are still too limited.” Chen Xuan’s eyes were deep as he planned for a broader future. “Once I find the scattered clansmen and once the backbone of the new generation emerges, I plan to leave the Xuanxiao Great World and go see the Three Thousand Realms.”
Looking into Chen Xuan's determined eyes, Zhan Xin nodded gently: "If my strength allows, I will go with you."
Chen Xuan looked down at Zhan Xin, a blush creeping onto his usually cold face, his eyes, like autumn water, filled with tenderness. He couldn't help but reply, "Alright, let's grow stronger together and see this vast world."
"Master, Bai Li wants to go too!" The little black snake suddenly poked its head out, its dark eyes full of longing.
"Haha, okay, bring Bai Li along too." Chen Xuan was already used to Bai Li's company and agreed with a smile.
"Hehe, Master is the best." Bai Li wiggled her body happily.
Meanwhile, on the continent of gods and demons, Chen Xuan had already left the campsite and was flying at an extremely fast speed towards the location of his fellow disciples. His figure was like lightning, traversing the vast land, occasionally using his still-unskilled Qiankun Shift technique to overcome numerous obstacles.
On the second day of their journey, Chen Xuan successfully located Senior Sister Piaoxue, Senior Brother Tianshuang, Senior Brother Shanhe, and others using the Mother-Child Token.
On the fourth day, he found his senior brother Wang Kaixuan, who was plundering the immortal's tomb, and other scattered disciples of Tianqing Academy.
On the fifth day, at the edge of the God and Demon White Bone Continent, he rescued Ziyu, who was caught in a fierce battle, as well as his friends Yue Ming and Ling Chen from the Ancient Academy.
However, the locations of the other signal symbols are either millions of miles away or isolated by a mysterious array.
However, on his way back, Chen Xuan suddenly sensed the location of Senior Sister Qinglian's talisman.
Through calculation, he was surprised to find that Senior Sister Qinglian was in a place where immortals had perished, and that she seemed to have used a spatial teleportation technique to instantly traverse four million miles.
Chen Xuan had a vague premonition: the Enlightenment Tree would probably be born in the next few days.
"It seems that after we parted ways in the core mountain range, Senior Sister Qinglian has also found her own opportunity." Chen Xuan thought to himself. He always remembered the kindness of Senior Sister Qinglian in giving him more than twenty Demon Blood Divine Fruits, and naturally he would bring his senior sister along with such a great opportunity as the Enlightenment Treasure Tree.
However, when Chen Xuan arrived at the location of Senior Sister Qinglian's aura, he couldn't help but frown. This place of opportunity had obviously been targeted by someone, and once someone entered the inheritance cave, it would be temporarily closed to keep others out.
"We've endured so much hardship, losing so many fellow disciples, and we're almost at the entrance to the Immortal Abode, only to have someone beat us to it?!"
"That's right, it's a woman in green!!"
"Damn it, could the opportunities here be connected to trials in other places? Otherwise, why could she ignore the multiple layers of formations here?"
A group of cultivators dressed in various outfits were making a fuss. They were clearly not from the Xuanxiao Great World, but had entered the secret realm from other star field entrances for training.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xuan directly transmitted his thoughts, saying, "Since the opportunity here has already been acquired, everyone, let's leave quickly."
This sudden telepathic transmission caused the twenty-odd Myriad Manifestations Realm cultivators below to glare angrily. When they saw Chen Xuan alone, attempting to drive everyone away and monopolize the opportunity, they were instantly enraged.
Chen Xuan looked at these people who didn't know their own strength and easily defused their hostility. He said in a deep voice, "I don't want to slaughter you. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly, and I can pretend you were never here."
"presumptuous!"
"One person is so arrogant, trying to threaten us?"
"If we join forces to kill him, then we must have some protective treasures to survive in this place!"
Faced with the clamor of the crowd, Chen Xuan frowned.
He really didn't want to use the Soul Banner to start a massacre unless absolutely necessary.
But he is no longer the ignorant cultivator he once was. Having experienced the inheritance of the small tower and learned the secrets of the ancient immortal war that destroyed the world, his mindset and methods are now completely different.
"Since you're all asking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless."
