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

The morning light of the fairy mountain world pierced through the clouds and shone on the winding mountain road.

More than ten streams of light swooped down from the summit of the immortal mountain; they were Dao Yi, Xuan Yi, Tian Mang, and other holy sons and daughters, who were on their way back to find Xia Jiuyou.

Before everyone arrived at the White Jade Immortal Abode, an invisible and intangible breeze had already quietly swept out, passing over mountains and forests, and finally landed beside the second primordial spirit in the Immortal Mountain Square.

As the breeze dissipated, Chen Xuan's true aura seamlessly merged with his second primordial spirit, and the two exchanged positions. From beginning to end, there was not the slightest energy fluctuation leaking out. Even Qiu Zixian, who was right next to him, only felt a slight breeze around Chen Xuan and did not notice anything unusual.

Chen Xuan lowered his eyes and straightened his robes. A faint, elegant fragrance lingered on his fingertips, belonging to Xia Jiuyou. Involuntarily, he recalled the woman's initiative and charm after she shed her aloofness during their ten days together. This contrasted sharply with the cold and aloof demeanor he was about to meet. This subtle tension stirred a strange excitement within him, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Before long, the gates of the White Jade Immortal Abode slowly opened. A figure in a white immortal feather robe floated out, the flowing light on the robe swaying gently with each step. Her face was veiled by a thin gauze, revealing only a pair of clear, cold phoenix eyes, as deep as an icy pool. She exuded an aura of cold arrogance that kept people at a distance. It was Xia Jiuyou.

She seemed to have completely shed the tenderness of the past ten days, and transformed back into the aloof saintess of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land.

"Senior Sister Jiuyou, you left your seat alone just now. Are you feeling unwell?" Qingxia stepped forward first, her tone concerned.

Xia Jiuyou shook his head slightly, his voice clear and cold like jade striking each other: "It's alright. The discussion is over, and we should set off now."

Seeing this, Qiu Zixian frowned slightly, snorted softly, and her eyes still held the detachment that followed their previous confrontation; Lu Xueqi also had a cold face, crossed her arms, and remained silent.

Chen Xuan looked Xia Jiuyou up and down with clear eyes. He found it hard to connect the otherworldly demeanor before him with the woman who had stirred his Dao heart over the past ten days. He just smiled and did not point it out.

Led by Qingxia and Zixia, the group flew out of the Immortal Mountain Small World and arrived at the core area of ​​the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

As is customary, before leaving, they had to pay their respects to the Purple Mansion God Lord, Purple Star God King. The group walked side by side on a jade road that shimmered with light, with celestial music playing on both sides and spiritual energy so rich that it was almost tangible.

Just then, a hurried voice transmission from the little tower suddenly rang in Chen Xuan's mind, carrying a rare hint of solemnity:

“Chen Xuan, something’s not right! Our souls are now connected, and I just sensed that a powerful being is deducing your whereabouts. The method is extremely subtle and is definitely not an ordinary divination technique!”

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat. His first thought was either Jue Wuqing or his master, the Star-Gazing Immortal. But then he dismissed the idea. If Jue Wuqing wanted to find him, he would simply crush the jade talisman. He would never use divination methods. His master was in seclusion, trying to break through to the Immortal King realm. He would have no time to deal with this matter.

The remaining possibility instantly reminded him of the rumors mentioned by Bai Qianhuan and others—those second-rate Immortal Kings, in order to seize the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold, did not hesitate to ambush juniors regardless of their status.

Could it be that they came for the seven-colored immortal gold on his body?

Chen Xuan's expression darkened slightly. Although he had reached the edge of the tribulation stage, his Dao heart was firm, and he had the broken half-step Emperor weapon, the Little Tower, he still dared not underestimate a powerful being at the Immortal King level. He was caught in a dilemma.

He glanced around and saw that Dao Yi, Xuan Yi, Han Jiuling, Fusheng, Huang Quan, and others were all top talents from the eight holy lands of the Yanlong Realm, each with a holy land master or holy lord backing them up.

A thought suddenly arose in his mind: Why not drag these people down with him? In this way, even if the Immortal King who came was powerful, he would have to be wary of the majesty of the Eight Great Holy Lands and hesitate to act rashly!

While they were pondering, the group arrived at the main hall of the Purple Mansion Sect. Incense smoke curled inside, and an avatar of the Purple Star God King sat in the main seat, his aura unfathomable.

After a brief exchange of words and pleasantries, everyone left the main hall, preparing to say their goodbyes and depart.

"Brother Chen Xuan, I have benefited greatly from this discussion. May I ask where you intend to go for your next training? If you don't mind, could you take me with you?" Dao Yi spoke first, his eyes filled with longing. He knew Chen Xuan's strength and opportunities well, and that traveling with him would surely bring him many benefits.

Upon hearing this, the other holy sons and daughters also turned their heads, their eyes revealing surprise. Xuan Yi, Tian Mang, and the others also stepped forward to echo, all wanting to seize this rare opportunity to follow Chen Xuan on his adventures.

Chen Xuan was overjoyed; it was like a pillow being delivered to someone just as he was dozing off. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoists, you are too kind. I originally planned to return to my hometown first. If you are truly willing to travel with me, there is something I would like to trouble you with."

“Brother Chen Xuan, please speak freely!” Dao Yi and the others replied in unison.

"My home planet, Xingchen, is very far from here. I'm returning this time to set up thirty-six Qiankun Tower Formations on Xingchen," Chen Xuan said slowly.

"With this formation, the sect leader can use the 'Star Shifting and Constellation Changing' divine power to move my home star to the jurisdiction of the Heartless Great World. However, this is a huge undertaking, and it will take too long for me to set it up by myself. If you all help, I believe we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved. Setting up the Qiankun Tower Formation was not a dangerous matter; on the contrary, it provided an opportunity to travel and relax, and it also allowed them to do Chen Xuan a favor. Why not?

"This is easy, Brother Chen Xuan, rest assured, we will do our utmost to help!" Huang Quan and Zi Xia responded first, and Qing Xia also nodded with a smile.

Xuan Yi, Fu Sheng, and the others nodded in agreement, and even Han Jiuling, who had been silent all along, nodded slightly in agreement.

Xia Jiuyou's cold eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at Chen Xuan, but ultimately did not object.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan felt a great weight lifted from his heart, and a genuine smile appeared on his face: "In that case, I'll have to trouble you all! The large teleportation array of the Purple Mansion Holy Land can directly reach the domain near my hometown. Shall we set off immediately?"

"Alright!" Everyone said in unison, crowding around Chen Xuan as they headed towards the teleportation array of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

Sunlight shone on them, outlining their spirited faces. Unbeknownst to anyone, a dangerous plot to kill Chen Xuan was brewing in the shadows.
