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

After bidding farewell to his master, Chen Xuan's feet surged with spiritual energy, transforming into a stream of light, and he quickly returned to Beiming Peak.

Since Chen Xuan left to pay respects to Grandmaster Qiandao, Wang Kaixuan had remained on Beiming Peak, anxiously awaiting news. When they learned that Chen Xuan had received Grandmaster Qiandao's approval and was permitted to descend the mountain for training, Wang Kaixuan and Bai Li's faces instantly lit up with immense joy and excitement.

Two years have passed since they joined the sect. Now their strength has greatly increased, and many of their former magical treasures no longer seem to suit them.

The two were eagerly anticipating descending the mountain as soon as possible, reorganizing their equipment, and then heading to the Azure Dragon Mountains to join the Godslayer Guard and earn Source Liquid.

Seeing Wang Kaixuan and Bai Li so happy, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile as well. He then turned to Bai Li and instructed her, "Go and make proper arrangements for the Baili Spirit Field. After that, take all our resources and prepare to set off."

Last time, in order to expand the Purple Mansion Lake for the second time, Chen Xuan spent a huge amount of money, using up 11,000 catties of source liquid.

Currently, he only has a little over 900 jin of Origin Liquid left. Chen Xuan has no idea whether this amount is enough to purchase the 729 Human-Rank flying sword magic weapons needed to set up the Lesser Thousand Swords Formation.

"Yes, Master, please wait a moment, Bai Li will be back soon." Bai Li responded crisply, nodded, and instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing down Beiming Peak like lightning. In just seven or eight breaths, Bai Li returned once again.

As for Wang Kaixuan, he had been alone since he joined the sect and had nothing to pack.

"Hehe, we can finally go down the mountain!" Wang Kaixuan rubbed his hands together excitedly.

“Yes, two years have passed in the blink of an eye. In another year, we’ll be considered veteran disciples in the eyes of the new disciples,” Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

Just as Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan flew away from Beiming Peak and arrived at the edge of the sect's protective array in the outer mountains, in two caves deep within the sect, Ancestor Longxi and Ancestor Qiandao opened their eyes as if they were of one mind, their gazes piercing through layers of clouds and mist, looking towards the direction where Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan were.

As a master, how could I not worry when my disciple is about to leave the mountain?

But they knew in their hearts that only by going through trials and tribulations and enduring setbacks could their disciples truly grow into powerful cultivators.

Clearly, even among the many prodigy disciples of the Xuanqing Palace, which has a deep foundation, many have unfortunately perished while venturing out to gain experience throughout the ages.

As several first-generation Nascent Soul Daoists stepped forward to verify the identities of the two, the towering, dazzling protective array of the sect slowly cracked open.

Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan bowed respectfully to the several Nascent Soul Daoists, then rode their flying swords straight through the light barrier and arrived in the territory of Qingtian City.

After leaving the sect's territory, the two looked back and saw that the endless mountain range was completely shrouded in a thick layer of clouds and mist. Even with their current divine sense, they could not penetrate this mysterious fog.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but turn back, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes. Clearly, over the past two years, he and his master, Longxi, had developed a deep master-disciple relationship.

Fortunately, both of them were cultivators with unwavering Dao hearts, and they quickly suppressed their reluctance to part. Wang Kaixuan smiled and looked at Chen Xuan, asking, "Junior brother, shall we go directly to the God-Slaying Guard in the Azure Dragon Mountains to register, or should we wander around Azure Sky City first?"

Although Wang Kaixuan was a native of this world, his understanding of Qingtian City was far inferior to Chen Xuan's. After all, when Chen Xuan first arrived in Qingtian City, he had the opportunity to explore it thoroughly under the guidance of Qingtian Xiaolou.

Chen Xuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Before I went down the mountain, I had already inquired with Senior Sister Qinglian. The God-Slaying Guards have two opportunities to participate in the assessment each year, in June and December respectively." As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and continued, "Judging by the time, we still have three days to prepare."
