Upon hearing Chen Xuan's question, a sly smile appeared on the man's lips, and he continued in detail: "Those forces in Qingtian County are extremely envious of the immortal-grade magic treasure of the ancient Yao Guang Saintess."

"Later, they even attempted to use the same method to salvage ancient artifacts from the Dead Sea. Unfortunately, this crazy act only lasted for a hundred years before it burst like a dream."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, as if immersed in past memories, and slowly said, "Later, the internal details were revealed by someone."

"It is said that when more than a dozen forces joined forces to search for treasures in the Dead Sea, the process was full of twists and turns, and countless experts were lost. Due to the heavy losses, several originally prestigious forces disappeared completely into the long river of history like stars falling."

"Later, as time quietly passed, Dead Sea City was once again controlled by powerful Nascent Soul Daoists from various cities. It was because of this that we, the rogue cultivators from all over the country, had the opportunity to board this sunken ship again. Otherwise, we would have missed the major sects' disciple recruitment ceremony on the eighteenth day of the first month next year."

Chen Xuan had indeed never heard of such a secret matter before.

After pulling Yun Yao out of the Dead Sea, Chen Xuan did have some thoughts about the corpses lying in the Dead Sea.

Consider the immortal-grade magical treasures on the body of that Void Returning Immortal. Just the storage magical treasures worn by the tens of thousands of Myriad Manifestations Realm and Nascent Soul Realm corpses alone are countless. If one could collect all these treasures, it would undoubtedly be a massive resource that could significantly influence one's future cultivation progress.

However, upon hearing this secret news, the burning flame in Chen Xuan's heart was extinguished as if doused with cold water, and he had no choice but to abandon the idea.

"Take it." Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the man recounting the secret. With a gentle wave of his hand, a jar of Drunken Dragon Saliva flew over like a shooting star.

Upon seeing this, the man instinctively reached out and caught the Drunken Dragon Saliva, his eyes instantly gleaming with a mixture of surprise and delight, like the brightest stars in the night sky. He hugged the wine jar tightly, bowed respectfully, and said in a voice full of barely suppressed excitement and gratitude, "Thank you for your generous gift, senior."

Among the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm, this person may not be the strongest, but his ability to read people and situations is unmatched.

All around him, the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm were staring longingly at the immortal wine in his arms, their eyes filled with desire and envy.

Seeing this, the man smiled slightly and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, we have gone through life and death together this time, and can be said to be sworn brothers. This wine is a gift from our senior, and today I will use it to share with you all. Come, everyone who sees it gets a share."

Upon hearing this, the male and female cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm smiled sweetly at Chen Xuan, flattering him while expressing their gratitude for sharing the precious immortal wine.

However, just as everyone was enthusiastically sharing the Drunken Dragon Saliva, Chen Xuan frowned slightly, breaking the joyful atmosphere.

"During this trip, I had no choice but to slaughter a group of cultivators at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. Among them, the young masters and ladies of the major tribes were fine, but no fewer than twenty disciples of the sects died at my hands."

Chen Xuan stopped speaking abruptly, simply gazing at everyone with a deep and calm look in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback. After a moment, it was the man who had been serving the wine who was the first to come to his senses.

He immediately and carefully put down the immortal wine in his hand, his expression instantly becoming extremely serious. He swept his sharp gaze across the crowd and shouted loudly, "If it weren't for your help, senior, we would have already become corpses in the Dead Sea. In order to ensure that you have no worries about this journey, we must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao in front of you to guarantee that we will not reveal the details of this massacre."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

It should be understood that although the oath of Heaven will not be punished by Heaven as long as it is not violated, it is still like a sword hanging over one's head, inspiring awe.

Generally speaking, unless absolutely necessary, cultivators rarely bind each other with oaths of heaven.

However, at this moment, they knew that if they refused to swear an oath to Heaven, Chen Xuan would definitely kill them without hesitation.

"Yes, our senior has given us a second life!" "That's right, we must swear an oath to keep this a secret!"...

"Senior Chen Xuan, I have now drafted the oath. Please review it. If there are any inappropriate points, please feel free to add to it," the man said respectfully, bowing slightly.

Chen Xuan looked at the rather sensible man, nodded slightly, and showed a hint of approval in his eyes.

Although this person was not very strong, he was eager to curry favor with Chen Xuan. Because of this, the oath he drafted was very well thought out, taking into account all the potential risks of information leakage.

"Senior, do you think the content of this oath is appropriate?" The man carefully presented the drafted oath to Chen Xuan with both hands, his eyes full of expectation and trepidation.

Chen Xuan carefully examined the contents of the oath the man handed over, a satisfied expression appearing on his face. He said slowly, "Very good, then you may make your oath."

Immediately, dozens of rogue cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm all made solemn vows to the Heavenly Dao in their own way.

During this time, Chen Xuan naturally spread his divine sense quietly, gently enveloping everyone like a breeze.

It is important to understand that when making an oath to the Heavenly Dao, one must have no intention of resistance in one's heart; it must be a heartfelt willingness in order to trigger a fluctuation in the Heavenly Dao and thus gain its recognition. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao will not send down any fluctuations.

As dozens of vast and solemn waves descended, wrapping around each person like gentle ribbons, Chen Xuan finally withdrew his divine sense with satisfaction.

"Thank you very much," Chen Xuan said softly, his voice tinged with a hint of relief.

After speaking, Chen Xuan turned and slowly walked towards the bow of the ship. At this moment, as the witch's corpse was pulled ashore, the other corpses around the ship receded like the tide, disappearing without a trace.

The sunken ship from the Dead Sea, like a colossal beast awakening from its slumber, slowly rose to the surface. Before long, the ship, which had been anchored for so long, began to leisurely sail towards the other shore once more.

Seeing this, the huge weight that had been hanging over Chen Xuan's heart finally eased. He breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the magical boat, flashed, and re-entered it, disappearing from sight.

"This ordeal, no matter what, has finally been safely overcome," Chen Xuan murmured to himself. Then he slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate his spirit through embryonic breathing, entering that ethereal state of cultivation.

Meanwhile, within the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion, the Tangwu Mountains were bustling with activity.

With the reappearance of Bai Li, the ancestor of the Five Immortals, a group of descendants of the Five Immortals, led by Huang Zhong, gathered around and complained, pointing the finger at Qing Tian Yu'er.
