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

The three people present were all experts in their respective fields: weapon crafting and alchemy.

Naturally, he knew that Chen Xuan was not exaggerating; there was actual evidence to support his claims.

All three of them saw shock in their old buddy's eyes.

Chen Xuan was not in a hurry, but gave the three of them enough time to process the information.

After all, the consequences of this matter are far too far-reaching.

About five or six seconds later, the old master, who was the leader of the three, looked at Chen Xuan and asked, "I didn't expect the situation to have become so serious."

"The impending collapse of the world is irreversible; the only recourse is to take preventative measures and plan ahead."

"But where should we begin?"

Chen Xuan was relieved to see that the three of them were already worrying about this matter.

In fact, this was also part of Chen Xuan's plan; he had to drag three people down with him.

The collapse of the world has a huge impact; we can't let him shoulder everything alone, can we?

He, Chen Xuan, is not a savior. Even if he doesn't get involved in this matter, as long as he protects his disciples, he can simply remain in charge of any calamity or catastrophe.

But he felt pity and cared for the millions of people in Longxia. He didn't want to see such a prosperous and glorious era come to an end, so he chose to tell the three of them this secret.

As for how to deal with these three people, he will only offer suggestions and will not contribute any more effort.

"Only one of you can take over the Underworld and ensure its operation, while the others will find a way to deal with the unknown calamities."

Chen Xuan looked at the three of them and said, "My sect is small and insignificant. I only have one direct disciple, and I am only at the Qi Refining stage. Even if I wanted to help, I would be powerless to do so."

Indeed, the aura emanating from Chen Xuan was that of someone in the Qi Refining stage, so what Chen Xuan said was true.

"Yes, you have done a very good job in this matter." The old master nodded at Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with appreciation. "Although your cultivation level is a bit low, your understanding of the Dao has probably surpassed that of the three of us."

"Young friend, you've already taken care of this matter. Let the three of us old men handle the rest."

"This matter concerns the peace and security of the nation and the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. We must step forward."

Clearly, Chen Xuan had misjudged the intentions of the three men; to his surprise, they agreed without even a second thought.

“For now, my Yin spirit will take charge of the Underworld,” Zhang Zhiwei said. “I will immediately report this matter to the higher-ups of the Longxia government to further loosen the control over Xuanmen magic and allow the general public to prepare in advance as much as possible.”

Zhong Yunlong nodded solemnly, "After that, all the core disciples of the three religions devoted themselves to the front line of the national government, working with the government to capture and clear away scattered ghosts and help relieve some of the pressure on the underworld officials."

Chen Xuan nodded and immediately explained the difficulties currently facing the Underworld, especially the lack of manpower and high-level combat power.

"That's easy to handle. We can have the underworld officials contact the disciples who have come down the mountain. The disciples only need to suppress the more powerful and energetic ghosts."

"As for what comes next..." Master Zhishun said with a worried look in his eyes, "We are getting old, and our cultivation has been unable to break through for a long time. I have at most one or two years left to live."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded in agreement, and then all four of them looked at the Soul-Hooking Pen and the Book of Life and Death on the Yama's Platform.

In the end, Zhang Zhiwei gave up. He knew it was all fate. Not to mention whether he could refine and modify the Book of Life and Death with the Soul-Hooking Brush, doing so would inevitably involve a great deal of karma.

Others shared this view, believing that altering one's destiny would bring karmic burdens. Their wish was to cultivate the Great Dao and achieve immortality, which was already a path against the will of Heaven, so why should they suffer even more karmic burdens for it?

"Speaking of which, take a look at this..."

Chen Xuan took out a jade slip from the system space and unfolded it.

With a whoosh.

Golden hieroglyphs flew out of the jade slip and hovered in front of the four people.

"If you completely abandon your Qi cultivation methods and switch to this, will it allow you to break through?"

The three squinted and watched carefully, then tried to circulate their spiritual energy according to the methods in "Six Volumes of Earthly Immortals". However, after only one attempt, they all had to give up.

Daoist Zhishun looked at Chen Xuan and said, “Judging from the content, this method is more profound than the one passed down by our master. However, we have been practicing our own method for decades. If we were to change it now, it would take at least 20 years of effort.”

"That's right. This method is unfathomably profound even at the beginner level. If one truly cultivates it to the late Nascent Soul stage, it will take a very long time before one can break through to the next level."

"pity……"

All three shook their heads and sighed, clearly indicating that cultivation is a matter of great importance in terms of compatibility.

Not all methods are universal, nor is it like in fantasy novels where the protagonist can simply obtain any method and begin practicing it.

Although the three people in front of them were already top combatants of the Dragon Summer Profound Sect, they were ultimately just mortals, not the various holy bodies in fantasy novels.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan also put away the jade slip.

"Then we have to go to the other side of the ocean."

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked at the three of them, "Tell me later where the overseas texts were lost, and I will go there personally to retrieve the lost heritage."

"About a month later?"

Upon hearing that Chen Xuan was actually going to personally travel to the other side of the ocean for their breakthrough, everyone was surprised and then tried to stop him.

"Young friend, you mustn't. Your cultivation is insufficient. If you rush there rashly, you may be in danger of perishing."

"The overseas Vatican and its various families also have a long history. After plundering the heritage of my Dragon Xia a hundred years ago, their strength is even greater than before. On the surface, we have always kept to ourselves."

"Last time, the three of us, as spirits, went together and were met with a fierce attack."

Chen Xuan had heard the old Celestial Master mention this matter before, but he hadn't asked for more detailed information.

"Don't worry, Chen Xuan won't act rashly. I'll wait until I'm strong enough before I go and retrieve it."

The three of them were stunned when they heard this. Even if your cultivation level can improve in a month, how much can it improve? Foundation Establishment stage?

The three of us Nascent Soul stage monsters returned in a sorry state.

"Alright, I'll inform you via text message when we get back about the location of the basic inheritance. However, Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan, you must not act rashly in this matter."

“Yes, these are turbulent times. Your talent in Taoist arts far surpasses that of the three of us. You may be the future successor of the Longxia Xuanmen. You cannot afford to have anything happen to you.”

"That's right. Given time, your future achievements will be limitless."

Seeing that the three of them were all expressing their deep concern for him, Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.

Actually, a month is really enough time.

It should be noted that Chen Xuan has only been in this world for about a week, yet he has already accumulated 400 years of cultivation.

Thunder magic, Yin spirit, Yang spirit—all have reached the perfect level.

Therefore, Chen Xuan's statement that he would go to the other side of the ocean a month later was already considered giving face to those so-called Vatican members.

During the conversation, two towering monsters had already rushed to the entrance of the main hall.

Turning around, they saw none other than Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

When Ox-Head and Horse-Face saw Chen Xuan appear in the Yama King's Palace, they were dumbfounded.

"Immortal, what are you doing here?"
