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

Chen Xuan shrugged and smiled. His divine sense had already penetrated through the layers of palaces and buildings, and he saw the sword dao stone tablet made of black iron on the back mountain, as well as the ancestral god statue carved from white jade in front of the sect leader's hall - the god statue's eyebrows and eyes were nine-tenths similar to his.

The protective array he set up back then is still in operation, and even Xia Jiuyou and others cannot perceive its core with their divine senses.

Sensing the probing gazes of the crowd, Chen Xuan nodded frankly: "That's right, I was the one who founded the Zhengyi Sect. It was just an unintentional act back then, but I never expected that it would develop to such a scale after a thousand years. It's quite an unexpected surprise."

"What?" Xia Jiuyou, Han Jiuling, Dao Yi and the others exclaimed in unison, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a fist.

Saintess Huang Quan asked incredulously, "A thousand years ago, you were probably just reaching the Void Reversal Realm, weren't you? How could you have single-handedly founded such a sect?"

Others also cast strange glances. Establishing a sect is already mentally taxing, and there are often no returns in the early stages. It is truly unbelievable that Chen Xuan could do such a thing when he was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

Chen Xuan touched his nose and added, "Strictly speaking, I was still at the peak of my primordial spirit when the sect was founded. I only went into seclusion to break through to the Void Realm after the sect was established."

"A prodigy! He's an absolute prodigy!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, their hearts filled with awe.

Xia Jiuyou stared at him intently: "Is your move to build up your own team? Are you planning to bring them all to the Heartless Holy Land in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Han Jiuling also tensed up. These disciples of the Righteous Path Sect were all extraordinary. If they were all sent to the Realm of Heartless Love, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss to the Nine Nether Holy Land.

Chen Xuan naturally understood their concerns and shook his head with a smile:

"The path of humanity is insignificant, and the path of immortality is boundless. I was able to enter the Sacred Land of Heartbreak through the teleportation array of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land back then, entirely by chance. What merit or ability do these disciples and grand-disciples have to replicate this path? The Nine Netherworlds and the Realm of Heartbreak are separated by hundreds of millions of miles. Even if one were to travel by air, it would be unknown whether one could reach it within a thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jiuyou and Han Jiuling's faces immediately lit up with joy.

"Therefore, I will not interfere with which holy city or holy land they wish to join in the future." Chen Xuan's tone was frank and without any selfish motives.

"Excellent! Very good!" Xia Jiuyou's eyes flashed, and he immediately said.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan, your words are enough! Our Nine Nether Holy Land is willing to accept the Righteous Dao Sect as an affiliated sect! Every hundred years, we will grant three disciple slots. As long as they can pass the selection based on their strength, they can directly become disciples of the Holy Land!"

She paused, then continued, "Once this matter is settled, a True Immortal from my sect will personally come and leave behind protective measures to ensure the Ancient Divine Star is safe and sound. Brother Chen Xuan, what do you think?"

“Brother Chen Xuan, my Purple Mansion Holy Land is also willing to offer the same terms!” Han Jiuling quickly replied, his eyes full of anticipation.

Both of them knew that regardless of whether the Ancient God Star was within the Nine Netherworld Domain, they would not dare to act rashly unless Chen Xuan gave his approval.

"Hey? That won't do!" Zixia immediately jumped out, raising her eyebrows. "The Zhengyi Sect isn't solely supported by the Nine Nether Holy Land. My Zifu Holy Land should also get a share of this good thing!"

She spoke frankly, and after she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Xuan with her big, watery eyes full of longing.

Qingxia smiled helplessly and stepped forward, saying, "I apologize for making you all laugh, but what I said is true. The Purple Mansion and the Nine Nether Holy Land are adjacent to each other, and the Purple Mansion Holy Land naturally does not want to miss out on such a promising disciple."

"You, you guys..." Han Jiuling's face stiffened slightly, not expecting that the Purple Mansion Holy Land would intercept them halfway.

“It’s alright, fair competition will do.” Xia Jiuyou, being proud by nature, immediately nodded in agreement.

The people from the four holy lands of Dao Yi, Jiu Qu, Yao Chi, and Tian Xuan exchanged smiles and shook their heads helplessly.

“If the sects weren’t so far away from here, how could such a good thing have fallen into the hands of your two families?” Xuan Yi sighed softly, his tone full of regret.

Everyone was taken aback by his words, then burst into laughter, and the atmosphere immediately lightened considerably.

Seeing that both holy lands attached such importance to the Zhengyi Sect, Chen Xuan nodded with a smile: "In that case, I will immediately summon the sect leader of the Zhengyi Sect to meet me."
