The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

These cultivators who came to Xuanshang Palace never expected that they would one day break through the suppression.

When Rong Xiu told everyone, some cultivators didn't quite believe it. After all, even Feng Xun himself hadn't broken through, so how could they have this ability?

However, most of them are young and ambitious, determined to succeed. If they are timid and hesitant, they will definitely not achieve great things.

Moreover, Rong Xiu mentioned Song Ke, his junior sister who achieved great success late in life. Her cultivation has improved rapidly, and she is probably unmatched except by Feng Xun.

His position as the senior disciple was also in jeopardy.

Of course, his good mindset doesn't mean Rong Ling's mindset is good. The lazy person in the past has now started to practice diligently behind closed doors, and even dragged Zhu Yi to teach him some cultivation methods.

It was rare for someone to ask him for something like this, so Zhu Yi generously broke off a piece of deer antler for Rong Ling. Who knew that after Rong Ling used it, his mind became restless, and he almost went into a state of demonic possession while meditating.

Feng Xun didn't force anyone to do anything. Each sect left people at the Suspended Palace. When they heard that Xun had a way to break through the suppression and raise one's cultivation level, some of the older elders in the sects and families began to have their own ideas.

It's as if they weren't the ones who opposed sending their younger family members to the temple in the first place.

Song Ke listened to the complaints of some cultivators and remained speechless.

"How can there be such shamelessness?"

The cultivator probably didn't expect Song Ke to be so direct in her criticism, and he seemed a little embarrassed and awkward.

“It’s understandable that my uncle’s cultivation level has stagnated for many years. He’s anxious now.”

After saying that, she changed her tone again, her expression becoming indignant: "However, they strongly opposed it at the time, and were afraid that Xuanshang Palace would ruin my exceptionally talented cousin, otherwise the spot to come to Xuanshang Palace would not have fallen to me."

Another cultivator said, "Who says otherwise? Our family's situation is similar. They always think that the Alliance Leader must have been injured after the great battle. After all, even the Southern Shu Sea was wiped out, which shows how strong the enemy was. How could the Alliance Leader still have the energy to guide us?"

Another cultivator said, "The elders in our sect are so hesitant, and they even want to hold some kind of selection competition to determine the candidates. They are usually so competitive, but now they are all humbly calling themselves mediocre and incompetent. It's really laughable."

Song Ke blinked and smiled: "I didn't expect these seniors to be so fun. I thought everyone was focused on cultivation, but it turns out they've been using their wits to scheme."

"Therefore, the biggest taboo in cultivation is lacking a broad perspective, being short-sighted, and caring too much, which prevents one from following one's heart. How can one's realm possibly improve?"

"Alright, since everyone trusts the Alliance Leader, rest assured, he will help you improve your cultivation level. He will then wish us good luck on this journey."

Feng Xun used the divine bone as the array's core to set up a spirit-gathering array, and then used spirit-binding silk to build a barrier to prevent evil spirits from disturbing it.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. The spiritual energy was so dense, it seemed almost tangible. Even before they got very close, they felt uncomfortable being squeezed by the spiritual energy.

Some cultivators couldn't even withstand the sudden surge of spiritual energy, their faces turning red and contorted.

Fortunately, after Rong Xiu's guidance during this period, everyone quickly came to their senses. They formed hand seals and circulated their spiritual energy, quickly clearing their spiritual meridians and allowing their spiritual energy to circulate freely.

After Feng Xun finished making the arrangements, he looked at everyone and said, "What are you waiting for? Enter the formation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Ling was the first to enter the formation. His hard work in recent days had yielded remarkable results, and he was now on the verge of breaking through to the next level.

When the other cultivators saw Rong Ling enter, they all followed with nonchalant expressions, each one as light and carefree as a swallow. Coupled with the flowing spiritual energy, it created a beautiful picture.

The surrounding area was also shocked by the soaring spiritual energy, and many cultivators came to visit, but they stopped when they approached the palace, as if they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

This spectacle was even more spectacular than when Song Ke broke through three realms in succession. They took the opportunity to meditate again, hoping to absorb more of the spiritual energy that had been missed.

Rong Xiu followed behind. After everyone had gone inside, Feng Xun looked at Song Ke, who nodded in understanding. He then said to Zhu Yi, who was still outside, "Zhu Yi, you are in charge of guarding Xuanshang Palace until we return."

Zhu Yi listened with a bitter face. He looked at Feng Xun and then at Song Ke, his tone revealing grievance.

"Master, you're leaving me here again. When will you be back?"

Upon hearing Zhu Huan's words, Feng Xun belatedly felt a pang of guilt towards him. Last time, just because he had unintentionally saved him once, Zhu Huan had remained motionless on that snowy mountain for hundreds of years.

He really wasn't sure when he would return to the Divine Realm this time.

Zhu Yi continued, "Master, let me go with you. I can help too, and I won't hold you back."

Feng Xun sighed helplessly, and Song Ke seemed to understand Feng Xun's thoughts.

“Zhu Yi, your master didn’t mean that. Why would he be afraid that you’ll hold him back?”

"He was just worried about the people in this space. He created this place with his own hands and took the trouble to bring them here to settle down. Naturally, he didn't want them to be persecuted again."

“This space contains a trace of his divinity. If we cannot return unscathed this time, you should take this space and hide until he awakens again.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yi felt inexplicably sad. He looked at Feng Xun, and finally his gaze fell on Song Ke. He asked with some concern, "And you? If Master can wake up again, where will you be?"

Song Ke hadn't expected Zhu Yi to care about her so much.

"I guarded you on the mountain for hundreds of years. I finally waited for you to wake up. Will you still be at the bottom of that lake then?"

Song Ke understood that Zhu Yi had once considered it his mission to watch over her until she woke up. He had finally achieved his wish, but it was gone in the blink of an eye, and no one could easily accept it.

Song Ke smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, your master won't let me die."

As soon as she finished speaking, a slight tremor ran through the space. In the blink of an eye, Song Chen and Zhou Youzhen appeared behind Zhu Chen. Song Chen looked at Song Ke, her eyes slightly red. She had long known that her younger sister was no ordinary person.

I heard that when she was born, there were many strange phenomena in the sky, which was quite spectacular. After she broke through three realms in a row, I heard her mother say that she was not actually pregnant at that time. It was just that a passing immortal master entrusted her with a spiritual seed to preserve. Who knew that this spiritual seed would grow into the Song Ke we know today.

"Keke, don't worry, we'll protect this place and wait for you to come back."

Zhou Youqi also assured Feng Xun, "Your journey will be fraught with danger, but you will definitely return alive."

Feng Xun nodded, and then, under the gaze of the three, he walked into the spirit-gathering array with Song Ke. The array flickered instantly and turned into a vortex in the blink of an eye, swirling up sand and stones and tearing down all the flowers, grass and trees within a radius of several miles.

Once the vortex finally disappeared and vanished into the void, Song Chen asked with a mixture of reluctance and worry, "Can they really come back?"

Zhou Youzhen comforted him, saying, "It will definitely happen. You must trust the leader."
