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

After waiting for so long, this day has finally arrived.

Chen Xuan walked out of the immortal mansion and put away the shrunken immortal mansion.

He looked into the distant void, and the space around him distorted. The next second, Chen Xuan appeared hundreds of miles away.

After several shifts in the universe, Chen Xuan arrived at a place a thousand miles away from the Enlightenment Tree.

At this moment, the myriad divine radiance of the hundred enlightenment futons floating in the void all receded inward, and the emerald green futons that originally contained the aura of myriad paths withered away, as if the creation within them had been completely burned out.

However, in stark contrast are the hundred cultivators who are deeply comprehending the Great Dao.

Take, for example, the Dao power surrounding Chen Xuan's most familiar senior brothers Zhan Xin, Zi Mo, Gu Ying, Tian Xing, and Kai Xuan. They are all one or two levels stronger than they were two years ago.

Among them, the one whose aura improved the most was Senior Sister Piaoxue. The aura that belonged to her Dao was so unique that it had even faintly touched the level of the Dao Domain Realm.

Of course, Zi Mo and Tian Xing were also surrounded by the aura of the complete Dao.

Zi Mo and Tian Xing have already reaped such enormous rewards, not to mention the second and third generation disciples of Xuanqing Palace who are already exceptionally talented.

After a careful examination, Chen Xuan smiled slightly: "This time, the overall strength of my friends and fellow disciples who accompanied me has improved by one or two levels."

"Boy, the divine radiance of the futon is about to be exhausted, what are you waiting for?" Little Tower urged.

Sure enough, right after the little tower's voice fell, the twenty-nine-zhang-tall Enlightenment Tree, which had been floating motionless in the void, seemed to awaken once more. Then, before it could struggle, nine chains formed by converging Dao patterns pulled it directly towards the ground.

Although the precious tree possessed a spirit, it was tightly suppressed by the chains and could not even utter a single angry roar of resentment.

As the Enlightenment Tree was forcibly pulled back into the ground by the chains, three leaves from the tree trembled, detached from the branches, and drifted in the wind. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they flew towards Bai Qianhuan, Fairy Biyue, and Zhanxin, who had just awakened.

When the divine radiance of all the myriad paths was exhausted, the sense of closeness that had allowed one to merge with all the paths disappeared, and the hundred cultivators awoke one after another.

"What? These are... leaves from the Enlightenment Tree!"

"I heard last time that a prodigy from a holy city also received a gift from the Enlightenment Tree!"

"This time, I actually managed to separate three leaves at once. It's a pity that such an opportunity didn't come to me. Legend has it that if you wear the leaves of the Enlightenment Tree all year round, you can get closer to the Dao."

"Unfortunately, we can't afford to offend any of these three. Otherwise, once the ban is lifted, we would definitely fight over them."

At this moment, among the nearly one hundred awakened cultivators, especially those who knew the value of the leaves of the Enlightenment Tree, they all looked at the three with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

Of these three, two were leaders of the Holy Land teams. Bai Qianhuan was the next Holy Son of the Jueqing Holy Land, possessing terrifying combat power; he was capable of fighting Xuan Yi for a long time without being defeated. As for Fairy Biyue, the second-generation disciples of the Nine Nether Holy Land were always waiting nearby.

When these cultivators saw who possessed the last leaf of the Enlightenment Tree, they shook their heads and sighed deeply. That demon, that assassin's partner—who would dare covet her treasure?

At this moment, Bai Qianhuan and Fairy Biyue both reached out and caught the Enlightenment Tree leaves that were floating over. Then they took a deep look at the Enlightenment Tree that was being pulled into the earth by chains.

Zhan Xin hadn't expected to obtain a single leaf. The Enlightenment Leaf was emerald green, like a bright moon, yet warm to the touch. Upon closer inspection, the veins on the back of the leaf seemed to perfectly align with the path of his own enlightenment. Zhan Xin had a feeling that, with its blessing, his enlightenment would progress rapidly in the near future.

Because Zhanxin had already seen Chen Xuan standing with his hands behind his back in the void a thousand miles away, he was not afraid of the menacing eyes all around him.

wow——

As the Enlightenment Tree completely disappeared into the earth, the one hundred Enlightenment Futons, like leaves burned to ashes, vanished with the wind.

"Hahaha, I've entered the Great Dao! With this enlightenment, my strength has advanced further. I'll be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm upon returning to the sect!"

"After six hundred years of accumulation and with the help of the Enlightenment Tree, I have comprehended a complete Dao of Earth and Fire in one fell swoop. With my current strength, I can immediately become an elder of the sect upon returning!"

Many cultivators were reflecting on the gains from this enlightenment, and many had flushed faces, clearly indicating that they had reaped enormous benefits.

When Zhan Xin and Chen Xuan's friends saw that Zhan Xin had obtained a great opportunity, they immediately gathered around her and then quickly left that area.

As Chen Xuan stepped forward to greet them, the fellow disciples, their lovers, and their Daoist partners naturally bowed in gratitude. Among them, the second-generation disciples of various sects were especially attentive. Such a tremendous opportunity would have been impossible for them under normal circumstances, but this time, they were only able to obtain a seat thanks to the subtle relationship between their sect's senior sister and Chen Xuan.

"Brother-in-law, I've comprehended the fourth level of the Dao Realm!" Ziyu greeted Chen Xuan naturally, showing off her achievement.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly in response to everyone's gratitude, then transmitted his voice to his few close friends who were in the lead, saying, "If any of my disciples wish to continue seeking opportunities, they may do so at will. I need to stay here for a few more days."

Zi Mo, Tian Xing, Ling Chen, Zhan Xin, Piao Xue, and others were all representatives of their respective sects. They immediately sent messages to the disciples in their sects, inquiring whether they were free to act if they wished.

The Immortal Realm Ancient Road Secret Realm only opens once every thousand years; missing it this time would be a once-in-a-lifetime loss. Chen Xuan and a few others with strong foundations were fine, but the second-generation disciples with weaker foundations quickly formed teams. After a brief farewell, they swiftly flew off in different directions.

The group of nearly thirty people dispersed to choose their own opportunities, leaving only a few people familiar to Chen Xuan in this place.

"In that case, you all go to the Immortal Abode for a chat. I still have some things to take care of. Once I come out, my trip to the secret realm will be over in a few days," Chen Xuan said to his friends.

"Junior brother, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Be careful in your actions." Senior Sister Piaoxue said to Chen Xuan, "The Nalan Clan has been rooted in the Xuanxiao World for countless years. Their foundation is unfathomable. Even if you want to seek revenge, you need to devise a foolproof plan."

“Yes, this matter requires careful consideration. We must not act rashly. You are the hope of your tribe.” Zhanxin stepped forward and grasped Chen Xuan’s hand. She was not good at comforting or guiding people, but this time, facing the behemoth that was the Nalan clan, she couldn’t help but feel extremely worried.

"You should proceed with caution." Zi Mo and Tian Xing looked at Chen Xuan with firmness and trust in their eyes.

"Brother-in-law, you are the strongest, but in the future, don't let your sister be heartbroken and live an empty house." Ziyu looked at Chen Xuan with rare quietness and seriousness.

"Junior brother, who cares about this damn Nalan clan? If needed, just let me know, and I'll raze their lair to the ground!" Senior Brother Triumph chimed in.

Chen Xuan looked at the concerned and worried eyes of his friends, nodded heavily, and then waved his hand, causing the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion to land on a mountain peak below.

"You wait here, I'll be right back."
