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

After saying that, Chen Yingying immediately transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky.

"Elder!!"

A series of mournful cries erupted from various parts of the array's foundation. They did not want to leave this sect, nor did they want to become homeless wandering cultivators again.

"Yingying, it's Master! Master has returned!"

Just as Chen Yingying was about to activate multiple forbidden techniques, she suddenly heard her husband Gu Ying's joyful voice in her ear.

"Master?" Chen Yingying was the primordial spirit that Chen Xuan resurrected with his great supernatural powers. After she emerged from her cocoon, she had only met Chen Xuan a few times, so she was really unfamiliar with the title of "master" for her husband.

"It's the Ancestor, Ancestor Chen Xuan!!"

"What?" Chen Yingying trembled, her endless confusion instantly turning into endless joy. "It's Brother Chen Xuan?"

“Uh…” Gu Ying thought about it and agreed. “Come quickly and join me to pay your respects to the Ancestor.”

Chen Yingying's original name was Gu Yingying. Later, because Chen Xuan gave her a second life and a physical body, and because the Gu God Sect was destroyed at that time, Gu Yingying changed her name to Chen Yingying, taking Chen Xuan's surname.

"Okay, my husband, wait for me." Chen Yingying was overjoyed and immediately transmitted her voice to the elder below who was domineeringly and tyrannically recruiting disciples, "Stop everything, don't panic, it's our Daoist ancestor returning, don't be alarmed!"

Some disciples, who were being carried into their personal immortal abodes by the elders like chicks, were stunned when they heard this.

"Ancestor... Ancestor Bai Li?"

In the void, Chen Xuan and seventeen others stood with their hands behind their backs, smiling as they watched the disciples gathering in a square formation in the distance.

There was no urging, no rush to speak, just silent waiting.

wow——

A girl in purple descended in an instant, and she recognized Chen Xuan, who had given her a second life, at a glance.

As Chen Yingying arrived.

Gu Ying pulled Gu Yingying and immediately knelt down on one knee in the air.

"Disciples, Gu Ying and Chen Yingying... respectfully welcome the Ancestor's return!"

Then nearly a thousand disciples followed suit, their voices surging out like a tidal wave.

"Disciples respectfully welcome the return of Patriarch Chen Xuan!!"

Chen Xuan didn't find anything wrong with this scene, but Lu Xueqi, Qiu Zixian, Dao Yi and the others looked at each other in disbelief.

"After a thousand years of absence, I never imagined that the Daoist sect, which was so weak when I left, would have been nurtured into such a powerful force by you." Chen Xuan nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, all the disciples who were kneeling on one knee were helped up.

"Very good, you have not let me down." Chen Xuan said, and then slowly flew closer with the sixteen people.

Upon seeing the legendary Longxia Immortal Ancestor up close, the descendants of Longxia who had left their hometowns and traversed the void to become disciples of the Daoist sect couldn't help but get excited.

“Master Chen Xuan, I am…I am…I am your former fan. My name is Zhang Wei. It’s been a thousand years. You are still as young as you were back then.” A middle-aged man said with tears streaming down his face after seeing Chen Xuan.

“Ancestor Chen Xuan, I grew up listening to your stories. I never imagined... I never imagined I would actually meet you in this lifetime, Ancestor Chen Xuan…”

"This is...this is...is Senior Sister Lu Xueqi who appeared in the live stream back then?"

……

Over a thousand years, with the guidance of Bai Li's second primordial spirit, the star map route was determined. During this period, many young people from their hometown stars went out to experience and explore, and some of them joined the Zhengyi Sect.

Now, Chen Xuan is recognized by both his contemporaries and the younger generation, which is quite surprising to him.

When fellow villagers meet, Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, shaking hands with the first group of people from his previous life. "Is everything alright in our hometown?"

“Very good, very good. My Longxia clan has been prosperous ever since we were granted the title of king and land, and we still are today.”

Chen Xuan smiled and surveyed the crowd, then shouted,

"Among you, there are those of my generation and many of the younger generation. As a pioneer of the tribe, I want to tell you a piece of advice: no matter how powerful the tribe is or how profound its foundation is, in these ten realms of the endless void, you can only rely on your own strength!"

"This disciple will humbly follow the teachings of our Grandmaster!"

After a reprimand, the nine first-generation disciples at the Nascent Soul Realm led many second-generation disciples back.

Only then did Chen Xuan look seriously at Gu Ying and his wife.

Seeing that Gu Ying wanted to call him master again, Chen Xuan raised his hand to interrupt, "The relationship between you and me is no longer that of master and servant. You are now the sect leader of the Daoist sect."

"Yes, young master." After a brief moment of calm, Gu Ying had no choice but to address Chen Xuan as young master again.

"Brother Chen Xuan." Compared to Gu Ying, Chen Yingying seemed very natural and unreserved.

Chen Xuan looked at Gu Yingying and nodded slightly, "After all, it is a reconstructed foundation of immortality. With your understanding of the Great Dao, you will probably be able to reach the edge of tribulation in another two or three hundred years."

Chen Yingying nodded, "It's all thanks to your kindness in saving me, big brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stay with my husband for a thousand years and gradually achieve perfect Dao."

Chen Xuan smiled and then introduced the two to more than ten people not far away.

Upon learning that the first-class individuals actually came from various holy lands, the couple blushed. The holy sons of the holy lands were legendary figures to them, and they never expected to meet the successors of eight holy lands at once.

Chen Xuan explained the future development path of the Zhengyi Sect, which made Gu Ying and the other two even more excited. In the Zhengyi Sect, disciples could only cultivate to the point of crossing the tribulation, and there was no inheritance of the Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, or even Immortal King level.

The Holy Land, in terms of both its heritage and its profound foundation, is unparalleled.

At this moment, Xia Jiuyou, Zixia, Daoyi and others also kindly communicated with Gu Ying and his wife via telepathy.

Chen Xuan and his group did not stay long on their trip. Just one day later, they used the Qiankun Shift technique to leave the Ancient God Star.

Because of the Zhengyi Sect, Chen Xuan's relationship with the younger generation of other holy lands has become closer without him even realizing it. After all, Chen Xuan's prestige within the Zhengyi Sect is undeniable.

"Brother Chen Xuan, are you going to head straight back to your hometown?" Feng Yao asked with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan waved his hand, and a star map unfolded. He pointed at a quasi-saint city on the star map and said, "I just happened to be passing by and have some small matters to take care of."

In the Nine Netherworld Realm, as the successor of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, Xia Jiuyou was extremely familiar with the distribution of holy cities and quasi-holy cities on the star map under his jurisdiction. Upon seeing the place Chen Xuan pointed to, he murmured, "Quasi-holy city, Phoenix City?"

Han Jiuling also whispered, "If the report is correct, the strongest fighting force in Phoenix City should be four Celestial Immortals. I wonder why, Brother Chen Xuan?"

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have three personal disciples: Jiang Linglong, Wang Ye, and Zhang Lingyu."

"A personal disciple?" Everyone was stunned. He wasn't even a celestial being, so what kind of disciple could he possibly teach?

Of course, no one said anything.

"The three juniors joined the Daoist sect at a young age. Now that they have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, they feel that the sect's development has reached its limit. Therefore, they want to rebuild the sect and have set their sights on Phoenix City, where they had a past grudge, intending to conquer and occupy it."

"what?"

"Three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators want to conquer a Quasi-Saint City with four Celestial Immortals in charge?" Xuan Ye glanced at Feng Yao, feeling his brain couldn't process it.

"Isn't this a gift delivered to our doorstep?" Han Jiuling was also very puzzled. "Although three of the four Celestial Immortals from Phoenix City are second-rate, the strongest of them is still at the level of a second-class Celestial Immortal. Moreover, they have been developing in Phoenix City for many years and have established a strong presence. Three of them are at the Nascent Soul Realm... tsk tsk."
