Chapter 2240
……
True Immortal Canglan Yue and more than ten Canglan Sword Sect disciples, including Zhou Ming, transformed into a streak of scarlet light and sped away from Tian Shu Star. Their speed was as fast as lightning, and they disappeared into the depths of the void in an instant.
Upon seeing this, the scattered cultivators who had already gathered in various parts of Tian Shu Star instantly erupted in chaos!
"A true immortal has intervened! This is an incredible opportunity! Even if I don't get to eat the meat, a sip of soup will be enough for me to break through my bottleneck!"
"The patriarch of a Nebula-level sect is personally taking action; there must be a treasure on Xuanxiao Star. Quickly, follow them!"
"Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate! Perhaps I can find a few magical treasures by chance, which would increase my chances of transcending tribulation and becoming an immortal by 20%!"
The news spread like wildfire, and the rogue cultivators who had been lying low in inns and secluded corners began to gather.
Some piloted glittering warships, while others activated strangely shaped magical artifacts. Countless figures, like a black tide, frantically chased after Cang Lanyue in the direction she had left, causing the void to tremble violently from the sheer volume of people.
……
In the western part of Xuanxiao Star, in the core area of a certain desert.
The yellow sand rolled like a yellow dragon, blotting out the sky and the sun. The howling wind whipped up the sand and gravel, powerful enough to tear apart the flesh of ordinary cultivators. Mortals had no way to set foot there.
In the heart of the desert, there lies a strange, windless place—shrouded in misty spiritual energy, where the essence of heaven and earth converges, forming a peaceful little world.
Chen Xuan and Xia Jiuyou stood side by side, building a Qiankun Tower.
After nearly twenty days of living and working together, the two had developed a perfect working relationship.
Chen Xuan's fingertips flew, and the Dao patterns of Qiankun merged into the base of the tower as if they were alive, shimmering with light; Xia Jiuyou stood to one side, the pale blue water Dao flowing around his fingertips, guiding energy along the Dao patterns, his movements fluid and graceful.
At first, Xia Jiuyou resisted eating and living with Chen Xuan, but now, apart from being stubborn and a little arrogant on weekdays, she is no different from Chen Xuan's Daoist partners - she will unconsciously snuggle into his arms at night, and silently hand him spiritual tea in the morning, but still shout "Stay away from me" on her lips.
The formation of ninety-nine Qiankun Towers is nearing completion. Chen Xuan roughly estimates that seven more towers are needed to complete the task.
At that time, he only needs to wait until the end of the month to crush the talisman left by Jue Wuqing and instantly activate the planetary-level Qiankun Shifting Array to move Xuanxiao Star into the Jueqing Great World.
However, just as the two were working hard to finish their work, an immense pressure suddenly swept down from the outer void!
This oppressive force, like dark clouds overhead, pierced through the atmosphere and pressed down on the surface of Xuanxiao Star. It carried with it an overwhelming divine sense capable of sweeping away everything, arrogant and utterly undisguised. The air instantly froze, even disrupting the Daoist rhythms in the heart of the desert.
Chen Xuan and Xia Jiuyou simultaneously looked up, their eyes gleaming with divine light, piercing through the void in an instant to see the scene beyond the realm.
A magical warship tens of thousands of feet long floated in the void, its hull covered with ferocious sword patterns, exuding a chilling killing intent.
On the warship stood a young man dressed in red with a cold expression. His True Immortal aura was as scorching as the sun. Behind him were more than ten powerful Void Returning Realm cultivators, each with a solemn and imposing presence.
"A mere third-tier True Immortal dares to run wild on Xuanxiao Star?" Xia Jiuyou's eyes narrowed, and the Dao of Water surged around him as he prepared to rush out, "I'm going to annihilate them!"
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled faintly and raised his hand to press her shoulder: "Oh? This Canglan Sword Sect does have some foundation. It's quite rare for a small nebula-level sect to produce a third-class True Immortal."
"Hmph, just a third-rate True Immortal, not even enough for me to kill with one sword." Xia Jiuyou curled his lips, his tone full of disdain.
As the two were conversing in hushed tones, a sudden, thunderous shout erupted from beyond the realm, sweeping across every inch of Xuanxiao Star and penetrating the ears of all living beings:
"Han Jiuling! You have insulted my sect and my master! I, Canglan Yue, have arrived! Come out and face your death!"
The sound shook mountains and rivers, rippled through the void, and even the yellow sand in the desert paused for a moment.
