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

Guardian formations typically possess warning functions. The moment the formation was broken, Qing Tian Yu'er, radiating crimson divine power, charged out wielding a top-grade human-rank flying sword. Upon seeing Chen Xuan stroll out of the formation with a smile, she sheathed her weapon and rushed over with delight. Qing Tian Yu'er first circled Chen Xuan, scrutinizing him closely for a long time, then asked with some nervousness, "You big bad guy, you...you're really at the fourth level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram?"

Facing the young princess who had helped him so much, Chen Xuan's attitude was much better than before: "I guess so, I don't know, I don't know."

Seeing Chen Xuan acting all innocent after getting such an advantage, Qing Tian Yu'er immediately puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "The legendary fourth-level phenomenon was achieved by you so easily. It's truly infuriating to compare yourself to others." At this moment, Qing Tian Yu'er seemed to be sulking and also unconvinced, puffing up her cheeks in a huff.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and grabbed the girl's soft little hand: "My dear wife, your husband is starving right now. If you don't bring me food soon, I might consider eating you."

"Ah! Chen Xuan, you big bad guy!" Qing Tian Yu'er's eyes turned red with hunger when she saw this. She kept swallowing her saliva, and her stomach was growling. She hurriedly rushed into the kitchen to prepare food.

In the backyard, Chen Xuan, the true form of Chen Xuan in black, and Qing Tian Yu'er, dressed in a light blue dress, sat facing each other at a stone table. On the table was a large pot of spirit rice, a small dish of pickled vegetables, and a dish of stir-fried greens.

The pickled vegetables were made by Chen Xuan in his previous life. But when Chen Xuan saw this dish of stir-fried vegetables that had turned black, his eyes twitched. This was no ordinary vegetable; it was the tender shoots of the spiritual herbs in the Hundred Mile Spirit Field.

Seeing Chen Xuanguang eating spirit rice and a little bit of pickled vegetables, Qing Tianyu'er was dissatisfied and directly picked up a piece of burnt tender green vegetables with her chopsticks and put it into Chen Xuanguang's bowl.

"You big bad guy, try it! I feel like my cooking skills have improved a lot lately." Qing Tian Yu'er's big eyes curved into crescents as she looked on expectantly for Chen Xuan to taste it.

Seeing the vegetables, Chen Xuan couldn't help but recall his adorable, obedient, and sensible disciple, Jiang Linglong. Truly, there's no harm without comparison.

"Okay." Chen Xuan gave the girl face and didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so he picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Qing Tian Yu'er asked, rubbing her hands together.

Chen Xuan's expression was very pleasant before the food entered his mouth, but as soon as the food entered his mouth, his face turned as black as soot from the bottom of a pot.

"Hmm, as expected of the little princess, your cooking is superb. You probably used every seasoning that's allowed and not allowed in the kitchen, right?"

Faced with Chen Xuan's questioning, Qing Tian Yu'er blushed and stammered, "What, it doesn't taste good?"

"Okay, it's delicious. Um, next time let's not cook any dishes. You can just cook the rice. I'm used to a simple life, and my stomach can't handle such delicacies."

Upon hearing this, Qing Tian Yu'er was immediately displeased, thinking, "Are you kidding me? Your Crimson Bright Divine Body has now laid its foundation. Not to mention that your skin is as tough as steel, your internal organs are not something that ordinary poisons can corrode. You're telling me your stomach can't handle it?"

"Hmph, I'm already being kind by cooking for you, and you still dare to complain?" Qing Tian Yu'er slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Are you implying that my cooking is bad?!"

Chen Xuan shrank back, thinking that he had no right to comment if he hadn't put in the effort. "Who said that? It's delicious, really delicious! Keep cooking it. If you don't cook this dish next time, I'll be furious with you."

Upon hearing this, Qing Tian Yu'er gave her a look that said, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

"Forget it, even though it tastes bad, at least I don't have to do it myself. What more could I ask for?"

Outside, in the Dead Sea of ​​Heavy Water, the eastern sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn. On the battlefield's deck, a dilapidated little flying boat lay quietly. Inside, Bai Li sat cross-legged, eyes closed, beside a small, ancient black palace—a miniature version of the Northern Underworld Immortal Palace.

wow——

An aura burst forth from the immortal abode, and Chen Xuan, dressed in black, reappeared inside the dilapidated boat.

"Master, are you done with your work?" Chen Xuan's presence appeared beside her, and Bai Li immediately woke up, looking at Chen Xuan.

"Hmm." Seeing that Bai Li was still obediently guarding the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion, Chen Xuan reached out and patted her head.

"Master, you were in there for so long before you came out. Did that little brat tell on me?" Bai Li held Chen Xuan's hand, looking at his expression with some concern.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head: "I owe her a favor this time."

"That young princess?" Bai Li asked in surprise, puzzled, "She can make you, Master, owe her a favor?"

Seeing Bai Li's puzzled expression, Chen Xuan smiled and asked, "Bai Li, look what this is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan quietly activated the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, and immediately layers of pale golden divine light appeared on Chen Xuan's body.

"This is...this is divine power, a power unique to cultivators who refine their bodies through divine and demonic cultivation?" Bai Li was first surprised, then overjoyed. "Master, you've embarked on the path of divine and demonic body refinement?"

"That's right, and it's the undisputed number one divine and demonic body-refining method in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Four Domains and Eight Desolations, 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram'."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Bai Li was utterly shocked. "The undisputed number one body-refining method?"

“That’s right, Bai Li. I will teach you the upper part of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram in a moment, along with my memories of worshipping the sun and moon. Try it and see if you can also step into this path.”

Bai Li was overjoyed to hear this, as she knew that many of the world's extraordinary abilities required divine power to cultivate.

"Yes, Master." Bai Li was overjoyed and unconsciously began to acknowledge the little princess to some extent.

"By the way, Master, according to the sailing schedule, we should be able to reach the other side of the Dead Sea before noon," Bai Li analyzed. "After reaching the other side, we will continue to travel for about a month and a half, and then we will reach our destination."

Chen Xuan looked out at the sky outside the ship, his heart filled with boundless ambition, and murmured: "The geniuses and prodigies of Qingtian County, the freaks of the ancient tribes, the holy sons and daughters of the great religions and holy lands... I, Chen Xuan, have arrived."
