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

Chen Xuan's pupils contracted sharply, and his voice trembled: "Could it be..."

“Exactly.” Jue Wuqing nodded. “Considering your unparalleled contributions to the sect, once you are strong enough and have my approval, you can personally return to your homeland and set up thirty-six Qiankun Towers on your native star. At that time, I will only need to use an abandoned star in the Jueqing Realm as a base to move your homeland star to the sect’s Great World, and from then on there will be no more boundary barriers.”

He paused, then added, "Now that you are making a name for yourself in the Flame Dragon Realm, you will inevitably have to compete with the top disciples of the first and second lines of defense in the future. Your hometown is a cultivator's greatest weakness, so this way you can have no worries about your homeland."

At this point, a trace of melancholy flashed in Jue Wuqing's eyes, and he sighed softly, "If your master were here, given his past connection with your hometown by descending upon it with his Star Dharma Body, you wouldn't need to go back to set up the tower yourself; he could simply use his supernatural powers to accomplish it."

"I am not skilled in the Great Dao of Stars, and can only rely on the Qiankun Tower to assist me. I'm sorry to have troubled you." Jue Wuqing's tone carried a hint of guilt.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with undisguised joy: "This reward is most fitting!"

He had been planning to find an opportunity to return to his homeland with Lu Xueqi and the others, and to bring back the second souls of Yu'er, Xin'er, Zi Mo and the others. This reward was exactly what he wanted.

"Thank you, Sect Master! If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Chen Xuan stood up and bowed.

"Go, cultivate diligently, and do not slack off." Jue Wuqing slowly closed his eyes, his figure gradually becoming ethereal, seemingly exuding the pressure of a Celestial King. "If your master can advance to the Celestial King level, he will be the next sect leader; if not... then I can only train you as the next sect leader."

Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, said no more, and quietly left the thatched hut.

Leaving the sect leader's residence, Chen Xuan carried a jar of immortal wine and walked through the air towards his lair in the Third Eternal World. Ripples spread across the void as he lightly touched the ground with his toes, piercing through layers of protective mountain formations and descending directly into the territory.

After a decade, this Third World territory is no longer what it used to be.

When he and Qiu Zixian chose this site years ago, it was just a plain surrounded by nine mountain ranges, with a lake dotting the center. Now, looking around, rare spiritual plants, thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and exotic fruit trees are scattered in an orderly manner, lush and verdant, filled with spiritual energy, a scene full of vitality.

Seeing the abundant fruit on the nearby spirit fruit tree, Chen Xuan wanted to pick one to taste, but the moment his fingertips touched the tree, he triggered a protective array. A small, dark figure darted out instantly, shouting shrilly, "You audacious madman! How dare you steal immortal fruit!"

It was a black rat about the size of a cat, with bright, piercing eyes. It held a miniature rake in its paws, standing on a branch, glaring angrily. Although small in size, it had a rather fierce aura.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. This little fellow didn't recognize him, which meant that he had rarely appeared in the ten years since he left, and the younger generation of the Five Immortals' descendants had never seen his true face. What surprised him even more was that this inconspicuous Purple Cloud Apricot Tree was actually protected by a separate magic array.

"Little guy, come here." Chen Xuan raised his hand and beckoned.

The black rat, which was about to call its companions, was suddenly trapped by the spatial confinement and involuntarily floated towards Chen Xuan's palm. It panicked and cried out shrilly, "Ancestor, save me! Your grandson is doomed!"

"What's your name?" Chen Xuan asked, holding the little guy in his palm with a smile on his lips.

"Hmph! Do with me as you please, but don't even think about getting a single piece of information about my master, Chen Xuan, out of me!" Although the black rat was trembling, its tone was exceptionally tough.

"Oh? So your master is called Chen Xuan?" After ten years of fighting, Chen Xuan rarely had such leisure time. He deliberately joked, "Coincidentally, I came here today to take his life."

"How dare you!" The black rat was both shocked and furious. Its small body began to swell, as if it were about to self-destruct.

"It does have a fierce temperament." Chen Xuan flicked his finger, and a stream of pure energy flowed into the black rat's forehead, instantly suppressing its self-destructive power.

Just then, dozens of strong gusts of wind swept in from the depths of the orchard. Three black rats, each the size of a fierce tiger, charged out first, their auras deep and powerful, indicating they were at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. More than ten black rats followed closely behind, all possessing the strength of the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Release Black Snow!" The leading giant rat had just shouted angrily when it saw Chen Xuan's face and its anger instantly turned into wild joy and fear. It cried out in a trembling voice, "Master! Master has returned!"

Upon hearing this, all the young black rats except for the three veteran giant rats stood frozen in place. They had only heard of their master's name in the legends of their tribe, and this was the first time they had seen his true face.

The black snow in Chen Xuan's palm trembled as it asked, "You...you are the master of the Five Immortals?"

Chen Xuan recognized the giant rat in the lead and nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work in farming and brewing wine all these years."

With a series of thuds, more than ten black rats, their bodies enveloped in swirling mist, transformed into human forms and knelt down in unison.

One of the men, who appeared somewhat old, stepped forward and respectfully said, "Master, it has been nearly three hundred years since we parted ways at Xuanqing Palace. Your subordinate, Chen Xiaohei, pays his respects!"

Chen Xuan focused intently to discern its aura. Back then, when he joined the God-Slaying Guard and returned from the Divine Mine World, the spiritual fields managed by the Five Immortals' descendants in the sect had their first bumper harvest. The Five Immortals' descendants brought offerings one after another. At that time, Chen Xiaohei was just a half-grown rat, following behind the old patriarch as they climbed the peak. He had some recollection of it. Cultivators have extraordinary memories, and some past events became as clear as yesterday.

"I am well," Chen Xuan said gently. "Time flies, and nearly three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye." He always cherished the memory of these loyal descendants of the Five Immortals, so he casually took out some pills and magical treasures to reward them, and then turned and walked towards the Nine-Story Tower in the core area.

The protective array outside the Nine-Story Tower had already sensed his presence. Inside, the seven women who were sitting around enjoying tea and discussing philosophy, upon noticing that familiar aura, couldn't hide their joy and immediately stood up.

"It's your husband!"

"My husband is back!"

Qing Tianyu'er, Senior Sister Piaoxue, Lin Yuyao, Zhanxin, Zimo, Tianxing, and Qiu Zixian, seven streams of light instantly rushed out of the immortal mansion.

They were all at the top of the Void Reversal Realm, and in an instant they arrived outside the Immortal Fruit Forest, where they saw the familiar figure in white robes and white hair.

Qiu Zixian remained relatively calm, after all, they had fought side by side during their training in Xingxu; Yu'er, Piaoxue, and the others, however, had not seen each other for ten years, and their longing for each other was already evident in their words.
