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

After hearing about the world-ending war of invasion from the Immortal Ancient Realm from the small tower, Chen Xuan was constantly plagued by a strong sense of crisis. In the depths of his being, he sensed that the catastrophe that nearly wiped out the cultivator civilization might not have truly passed.

If he doesn't plan ahead, he really can't guarantee that he will have enough power to protect his people and his beloved friends when disaster strikes.

"Since you're all courting death, then let's all gather inside my Human Emperor Banner!" Chen Xuan's eyes turned cold, and his aura suddenly became chilling and terrifying.

"Blood Cloud Formation!" With a low shout, the Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Banner soared into the sky. In an instant, the world changed color. The once clear sky was swallowed by churning blood clouds, and crimson light enveloped the surrounding area. The air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.

Countless soul-capturing chains emerged from the blood-red clouds, like bloodthirsty giant pythons, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at the cultivators below.

These cultivators were far weaker than the second-generation disciples of Evil Dragon Mountain, and faced with the terrifying power of the Myriad Soul Banner, they were utterly powerless to resist. In just two or three breaths, their bodies were pierced by chains, their life force rapidly drained away, turning them into desiccated corpses that scattered in the wind and eventually turned into dust.

Chen Xuan raised his hand to recall the shrunken Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Banner, staring intently at the malevolent magic weapon, and murmured to himself, "When Biluo forged this banner for me, she said that as long as the Blood Cloud is not broken, I will be immortal. Although your growth is too bloody and cruel, in order to protect my tribe and the people I care about, I can only make the enemies I kill have some value."

Recalling what had just happened, when these cultivators launched their attack, Chen Xuan had kindly advised them and given them a chance to retreat. But ants in a swarm dared to challenge an elephant, always thinking that numbers could make up for the difference in strength.

Little did they know that even the lion pride, the overlords of the grasslands, would be wary of a healthy elephant, let alone this group of overconfident cultivators.

More than twenty streams of malevolent energy and resentment swirled around Chen Xuan, before being absorbed by the nine miniature stars floating above the Purple Mansion Sea. Having resolved the trouble, Chen Xuan landed on the cliff face, sat cross-legged, and quietly waited for Senior Sister Qinglian.

At this moment, Chen Xuan's gathered friends and fellow disciples were all in the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion. His second primordial spirit was not revealed before the new members. However, through the accounts of Tianxing and Zhanxin, the strength Chen Xuan displayed astonished the disciples of various academies and the second-generation disciple of the Xuanqing Palace.

Before Piaoxue entered the Immortal Abode, Zhanxin was the strongest being there. With Piaoxue's arrival, the two top young powerhouses finally met. Back when the sects were ranked, Fairy Zhanxin suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the newly emerging reincarnated immortal, Piaoxue.

At this moment, they reunited in the Immortal Abode. On the surface, everyone was chatting amicably, but in reality, undercurrents were surging. The sharp confrontation between Zhanxin and Piaoxue was something that others could sense, even though they tried to be discreet.

"It's been a century since we last met, and Senior Sister Piaoxue has become even more stunningly talented." Zhanxin looked at Piaoxue, who was dressed in a black dress and had a petite and aloof demeanor, and his words seemed to contain a hidden meaning.

“Junior Sister Zhanxin is no less impressive. She has appeared in Junior Brother’s immortal abode in just a hundred years. My Junior Brother Beiming is young and impetuous. If he offends Junior Sister in any way, please don’t go on a killing spree.” Piaoxue was as clever as she was and immediately retorted tactfully.

Zhan Xin, known for his ruthless and decisive nature, turned pale instantly when his past was brought up. He snorted coldly and fell silent.

"Hahaha—" Seeing the tense atmosphere, Wang Kaixuan quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Senior sisters, your junior brother will be out soon. Being in your junior brother's immortal abode in front of so many junior brothers and sisters, you mustn't let people laugh at you."

"Yes."

"My Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace and the Heaven and Earth Supreme Purity Palace have been on good terms for generations. Let's not let this little unpleasantness damage our harmony."

Everyone offered words of comfort. After Chen Xuan was brought up, Zhan Xin and Piao Xue finally calmed down a bit. Seeing this, the female cultivators of Xuanqing Palace intentionally or unintentionally separated the two. At this time, although Zhan Xin had no fellow disciples surrounding her, her relationship with Chen Xuan was certain, and Gu Ying, Bai Li, Zi Mo, and Tian Xing all stood behind her, offering their support.
