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

In the path of immortality, it is common for the weak to gravitate towards the strong. Just as stars flock to the moon, people flock to it like moths to a flame.

In front of the Hall of Enlightenment, the open area was bustling with noise and crowds, but the shadowy area was like a deep, still river, full of unpredictable waves.

Among the disciples of Xuanqing Palace, Xuan Ye, Qingyi, Shusheng, Jiugui, Zixin, and other Yuan Shen Daoists are all qualified to accept disciples. At this moment, they are all hiding their figures and waiting quietly.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Qiandao, am I right?" Immortal Longxia and Immortal Qiandao were hiding in a corner of the void, only a few feet apart. Without using their divine sense, they could see the situation inside the Hall of Proof of the Dao.

With a broad smile, Immortal Longxia said to Immortal Qiandao, "Ever since that little brat Chen Xuan has repeatedly defeated many senior disciples, the geniuses among the second-generation disciples could no longer sit still and have come one after another."

Immortal Qiandao nodded slightly: "Back then, they went through the same thing. Piaoxue, Jianxin, Yunyi and others were taught a lesson by Zixin, the most outstanding second-generation disciple at the time, which dulled their sharpness and edge. Yesterday, my disciple Chen Xuan showed his skills and defeated a group of third-generation disciples. These reincarnated immortals immediately took over the role of Zixin back then, so they all stepped forward."

Immortal Longxia took a sip of immortal wine and said cheerfully, "Indeed, this is the ancestor's painstaking effort, a manifestation of the inheritance. I just wonder how many rounds this boy Chen Xuan can withstand among the second-generation disciples without being defeated."

Recalling the battle in Sword Stele Valley, where Chen Xuan displayed the power of the Second Dao Domain and the Water-Fire Lotus, the Thousand Dao Immortal pondered for a moment and then analyzed, "In my opinion, those three reincarnated immortal disciples probably won't easily step into the arena to compete today."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Longxia also expressed his agreement: "Disciples who have reached the third level of the Dao Realm are not ordinary in my Xuanqing Palace. This little brat Chen Xuan may at most be one of the second disciples of my Xuanqing Palace who has mastered the third level of the Dao Realm."

"Huh? That's strange. Judging from the time, little Chen Xuan and his group should have left Beiming Peak long ago. Why haven't they arrived yet?" Longxia Immortal wondered. He immediately released a powerful divine sense to search for them.

"This kid is quite composed. They actually went to the stone tablet with the traces of the Great Dao to gain some insights first."

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Immortals also gazed at the location of the Great Dao Sword Mark Stele in the void and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that after yesterday's battle, my disciple's state of mind has improved, so he went to the sword stele again today to gain some insight."

A full half hour passed, and Chen Xuan and the others were still nowhere to be seen. During this time, Fu Feng and the other third-generation disciples went to Beiming Peak again to invite them, but they found nothing.

Upon hearing this news, all the second-generation disciples frowned.

Everyone assumed that Junior Brother Chen Xuan was afraid and dared not accept the challenge to discuss and exchange ideas.

Of course, such remarks only circulated among the third-generation disciples. The more outstanding second-generation disciples, and even the three reincarnated immortal disciples, remained calm and unmoved.

Just as everyone's patience was about to run out, they heard a whooshing sound as the wind rapidly approached.

The three immortal disciples, Piaoxue, Yunyi, and Jianxin, who were either resting with their eyes closed or talking with their junior brothers and sisters, all turned their gazes toward the entrance of the Hall of Proof of the Dao.

"coming."

A streak of black light, like a black lightning bolt, rushed into the Hall of Proof and landed steadily on the jade platform for the debate.

Following closely behind, Tian Shuang, He Ming, Wang Kaixuan, and Wang Kaixuan, the new disciple who brought Bai Li, filed in one after another.

Tian Shuang naturally returned to the small group where Senior Sister Piao Xue was; He Ming followed his third uncle and stood on the periphery of Senior Brother Jian Xin; only the pitiful Wang Kai Xuan was all alone, landing forlornly in an empty space, being scanned by the gazes of the older disciples from all sides.

Fortunately, these gazes lingered on him for only a moment. Compared to him, Chen Xuan, standing on the jade platform with flowing white robes and jet-black hair, was undoubtedly more eye-catching.

"Phew, thanks to Junior Brother Chen Xuan for being here, otherwise I would have been treated like a rare beast and surrounded by everyone again." Wang Kaixuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took the opportunity to carefully examine the three groups in the center of the Hall of Proof of the Dao.

"My God, who is that senior sister in the black dress with her long flowing hair? How could she be like this... Is this the legendary fairy?"

Bai Li also looked over upon hearing the sound, and when she saw Piaoxue surrounded by the crowd in the center, she couldn't help but gasp: "As expected of Xuanqing Palace, even such a beautiful fairy is here."

Compared to the astonishment of Wang Kaixuan and his companion, the three small groups were also secretly exchanging messages.

"Senior Brother Yunyi, look, this white-haired man in black is Junior Brother Chen Xuan, who swept through a group of third-generation disciples yesterday."

“Senior Brother Jianxin, look, it’s him. Yesterday afternoon, he first defeated Junior Brother Haoyue, then Senior Sister Tianshuang, and finally, even Senior Brother Tianshui was defeated by him.”

"Senior Sister Piaoxue, this must be Junior Brother Chen Xuan." Tian Shuang looked at Senior Sister Piaoxue with a respectful attitude.

Piaoxue stood quietly, like a blooming dark orchid, with a serene expression and gentle eyes.

In terms of looks, she was more outstanding than Qinglian and Qingtian Yu'er, and only on par with Lu Xueqi; in terms of temperament, Lu Xueqi, Qingtian Yu'er, Hu Mei'er, Qinglian and others could not compare with her.

For an individual, temperament is like the light of the soul, extremely important.

"Just by looking into his eyes, one can tell that this young man has a very firm Daoist heart."

Although she had seen Chen Xuan yesterday through the Water Mirror Technique, Piaoxue was still slightly taken aback by Chen Xuan's invincible, arrogant, and confident gaze when she saw him in person today.

Thinking back to when I first entered the sect, there were very few people who could remain calm and composed in front of so many fellow disciples.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was being watched intently by hundreds of eyes.

Far from showing any nervousness, he stood proudly on the jade platform, bowing to the senior brothers and sisters in the spectator stands, and then said loudly, "Junior brother Chen Xuan has come to discuss the Dao as invited. I wonder, among the senior brothers and sisters, who would like to step down and offer their guidance?"

His eyes were clear, bright, and firm, and his voice was like the warm sun piercing through the cold winter, resounding throughout the entire Hall of Enlightenment.

"Hmph, how dare you be so arrogant in front of so many senior brothers and sisters from various sects? Just wait and see how you lose this competition," Haoyue thought to herself.

There was a time when he had been challenged to a similar contest.

However, when he first entered the Dao Proving Hall to receive instruction from the senior disciples, only a dozen or so third-generation disciples came to watch. Even the top-ranked disciples such as Tianshui, Tianshuang, and Chixiao did not come.

In contrast, now, in the Hall of Proving the Dao, the immortal's personal disciples, the reincarnated immortals, and even those second-generation prodigies who he wouldn't even dare to speak to normally, have all come in person for the sake of Chen Xuan.

With such a stark contrast, how could Haoyue be content?

Chen Xuan's hearty challenge still echoed within the Hall of Proof of the Dao.

Seeing that none of the senior disciples intended to participate in the competition, Feng Yue gently nudged Qinglian, who was quietly observing beside him. Caught off guard, Qinglian took a step forward, immediately drawing the attention of all the senior brothers and sisters around her.

"What are you doing?" Senior Sister Qinglian blushed and turned around to glare at Fengyue reproachfully.

“Senior sister, whether you agree with what we discussed yesterday or not, I think… why don’t you test junior brother’s abilities first before making any plans?” Feng Yue genuinely felt that junior brother Chen Xuan far surpassed the mediocre Hao Yue in every aspect, so she took the initiative to help her close friend.

"Senior sister, would you like to spar with me and receive my guidance?" Chen Xuan asked calmly, his gaze fixed on Senior Sister Qinglian.
