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

Although the words were reproachful, the smiles on the faces of the three elders were impossible to hide.

Their hearts were clearly filled with longing for Chen Xuan; this reproach was nothing more than the most sincere concern of elders for their juniors.

Elder Long seemed to sense something, patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder again, and smiled, gesturing, "Go, go see your old friends. If it weren't for their strong support over the years, my Longxia tribe wouldn't have risen so quickly."

The old celestial master and Zhong Yunlong also turned to look behind them—at this moment, the densely packed battle formations of the feudal lords had all arrived, the great formations shimmering with light and shadow, filled with celestial energy, and countless eyes were focused on this side, yet no one dared to make a sound.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly. He naturally knew that the old friends that Elder Long and the others were talking about were the leaders of the various sects and branches stationed in Longxia County.

He looked up and his divine sense penetrated through the layers of battle formations and shadows, and sure enough, he saw many familiar faces.

Among them were four immortal ancestors from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Palace—Dragon Breath Immortal, Heartless Immortal, and Wonderful Law Immortal, as well as his father-in-law, Qing Tianchen.

Chen Xuan slowly flew towards the battle formation. The faint Daoist aura surrounding him, seemingly ordinary, made Qing Tianchen and the sect elders who accompanied him feel a chill in their hearts and subconsciously gasp.

This is not the aura a cultivator at the Void Reversal Realm should have.

That restrained pressure was even more terrifying than when he was alone with His Majesty, as if he were facing an unfathomable ancient deity.

Flying to the four grandmasters and his father-in-law, Chen Xuan knelt on one knee again and paid his respects with the most solemn junior etiquette: "Unfilial disciple Chen Xuan pays respects to the grandmasters and father-in-law."

Ancestor Longxi personally witnessed Chen Xuan's transformation from a clueless youth at the Foundation Establishment Realm to a prodigy who overwhelmed all others at the first Immortal Destiny Gathering, becoming a peerless genius who shocked the entire star field.

Now that Chen Xuan has been away training for a thousand years, his strength must far exceed that of the Yuan Shen realm back then, and he is already a giant who can stand alone.

But he never expected that when Chen Xuan saw them again, he would perform such a solemn kneeling ceremony.

The four members of the Dragon Breath Ancestor quickly stepped forward and helped Chen Xuan up.

Ancestor Longxi laughed heartily, his voice booming like a bell: "Hahaha, Chen Xuan, you are now a Void-Reversing Earth Immortal, on the same level as us old immortals. You can no longer perform this kneeling ceremony when you meet!"

The Immortal of Wonderful Laws smiled and nodded, his eyes full of approval: "From the moment you broke through to the Void Realm and achieved the position of Earth Immortal, you have been one of the ancestors of my Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace. When we are of the same generation, there is no need to be so formal, let alone perform such a grand ceremony."

The Heartless Ancestor and Qing Tianchen also chimed in, their words filled with affection.

The atmosphere was warm and harmonious, fully demonstrating the love and recognition that the elders of the sect have for their juniors.

However, what seemed perfectly normal to everyone on Xuanxiao Star was utterly astonishing to Han Jiuling, Xuan Yi, Dao Yi, Xia Jiuyou, and other holy sons and daughters from beyond the realm, leaving them speechless with their mouths agape.

Seriously? What's going on?

The madman who challenged the successors of the five holy lands in front of the eight holy masters during the ranking battle of the holy lands; Chen Xuan who could kill a true immortal with a flick of his hand and was decisive in killing; when he returned to his homeland and saw his relatives, he was so obedient and well-behaved.

The group of holy sons and daughters looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Qiu Zixian.

Qiu Zixian also looked bewildered, scratched her head, and used her divine sense to transmit her thoughts to everyone:

"Don't look at me like that. I've been his Daoist partner for so long, and this is the first time I've seen him like this. It turns out that someone as steadfast in his Daoist heart and powerful as him also has such a tender and gentle side."

"It's simply unbelievable..." Feng Yao sighed inwardly, her divine sense sweeping over Chen Xuan, who stood respectfully before his elders. She was filled with emotion. "Chen Xuan, who could kill a True Immortal with a flick of his hand, would actually kneel and bow so solemnly before a group of low-level Void Realm and Loose Immortal cultivators?"

She paused, a hint of melancholy in her voice:

“When I returned to my former sect and saw my former master and grandmaster again, they knelt down before me in fear and trepidation because I had become the Holy Maiden of Yaochi… That sense of alienation and estrangement still stings my heart to this day.”

Hearing Feng Yao's words, the other holy sons and daughters also felt the same way.

Weren't they the same? Even if they were unwilling, even if their hearts ached when they saw their former masters kneeling before them, as the holy sons and daughters of the holy land, with the Dharma protectors and sect ceremonial guards following behind them, they simply couldn't step forward to stop them in order to maintain the dignity of the holy land.

Chen Xuan's actions today, which were so spontaneous and disregarded the difference in status to bow deeply to elders of power and position, stood in stark contrast to their experiences. How could they not be deeply shocked?
