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

"Brother Chen Xuan, please show mercy! In this battle, Qingtian Yulou concedes defeat!"

Shila-

If those words of surrender had reached Chen Xuan's ears a moment later, Chong Xiangyu would probably have already perished.

At this moment, the tip of the Jade Dragon Sword, which could pierce through anything, was hovering precariously just inches away from Chongxiangyu's brow.

Chen Xuan looked closely at the girl, Chong Xiangyu, whose eyes and nostrils were oozing blood. He silently withdrew the Jade Dragon Slash and then looked up at the Azure Jade Pavilion on the second floor.

Upon hearing the address "Brother Chen Xuan," a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Under Chen Xuan's questioning gaze, Qing Tian Yu Lou completely disregarded the shocked cultivators from all realms present and gave Chen Xuan a slightly awkward and unnatural smile, saying, "That sword strike, if I'm not mistaken, should have the power of the Gale Path Domain, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Besides Xuanming, a second-generation disciple of Xuanqing Palace, and the old man who was a master bodyguard of Qingtian Yulou, the only other people who remained extremely calm were Chen Xuan's spirit beast Bai Li and the disciples of the Cangyun Ridge lineage who had actually fought against Chen Xuan.

"Brother Chen Xuan, you're really not being fair. If I had known you had comprehended the Dao Domain Realm at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, why would I have sent my retainers to the duel?" These words were pointed, and one could clearly feel Qingtian Yulou's goodwill towards Chen Xuan.

"The Dao, the Realm of the Dao?" Upon hearing its master admit defeat, the eight-winged poisonous insect that Chong Xiangyu had desperately controlled instantly disintegrated, turning into a pile of flesh and blood that fell to the ground.

She stared in shock at the handsome white-haired young man before her, her eyes filled with envy and longing. She murmured, "If I could comprehend the Dao Domain at the Foundation Establishment Realm, the sect's higher-ups probably wouldn't be willing to offer me to the master, would they?"

Unfortunately, different people have different fates. Under normal circumstances, it is already considered excellent for someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm to comprehend the true meaning of the Dao. However, a prodigy who can comprehend the Dao Domain Realm in the Foundation Establishment Realm will be carefully nurtured like a treasure in any sect.

"What? Young Master Chen Xuan has already mastered the Dao Domain?"

"That sword strike that killed the eight-winged poisonous insect... it really was a Dao Domain Realm technique! This is a powerful technique that only my master and senior uncle have mastered! He was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"A prodigy! This is a true prodigy. Now I finally understand why Chen Xuan has been able to maintain such a calm state of mind."

"Hehe, a cultivator who has mastered the Dao Domain, even if he is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, is strong enough to fight against those of higher levels. How could Young Master Chen Xuan possibly take other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators seriously?"

"I never expected that participating in the treasure-hunting event by chance would lead to meeting such a monstrous genius. Just wait, after this battle, Young Master Chen Xuan will surely attract the attention of all the major sects and factions."

"It's a pity we can't find a suitable opportunity to truly get to know him!"

……

Compared to Chen Xuan's extraordinary strength and unattainable Dao Domain, the spiritual liquid lost in the bet seemed insignificant.

"Yes, Young Master Chen Xuan, you're really unfair! If I had known you had such strength, I wouldn't have lost the spirit liquid in the last round."

"Haha, it's just some spirit liquid as a prize. Being able to witness Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan's strength and style today has already made this trip worthwhile!"

"Brother Chen Xuan, I am Yun Mo from the Qingtian Sword Sect. If you wish to become a disciple of the Qingtian Sword Sect, I can immediately have my senior uncle come here. With your strength, you wouldn't even need to undergo any entrance examination; you could be directly accepted as a personal disciple by the sect's higher-ups!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan, I am the daughter of the Sect Master of the Thousand Rivers Sect, and my Daoist name is Green Jade. If you join my sect, my father will personally accept you as his disciple, and the Thousand Rivers Sect will be entrusted to you in the future. I am also willing to become your Daoist partner and cultivate the Great Dao of Freedom together!"

"Brother Chen Xuan, if you join my tribe, my tribe is willing to provide a thousand catties of spiritual liquid, and all the tribe's supernatural powers and secret techniques will be open to you!"
