Chapter 1868
The vastness of the universe is boundless. Pale purple nebulae, like crumpled silk, flow slowly against the dark background, with silver-blue stars embedded within them, blinking with faint but constant light.
The Realm of Heartless Love was not significantly different from the Purple Mansion and the Nine Nether Realm, yet to Chen Xuan, this unfamiliar void felt strangely familiar.
This was the place he had longed to become an apprentice to, and at this moment even his breathing seemed a little lighter.
When the two were teleported out of the immortal mansion by the purple light, their gazes were simultaneously cast into the distance;
Countless points of light flickered in the void, each point of light being a visible nebula, with fine dust particles swirling around its edges, like scattered diamonds on a black cloth.
Seeing Chen Xuan staring blankly at the nebula, Zi Mang quickly stepped forward, holding a leaf with a faint blue spiritual light between her fingers, and offered it to him:
"According to the rule that the Ten Holy Lands publicly accept disciples every hundred years, only two and a half years have passed now. If Brother Chen Xuan is lucky, he may still be able to catch up with this grand ceremony."
The edges of the green leaves still carried a faint, refreshing scent of grass and trees, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary things;
"This leaf records the trajectory of the Heartless Holy Land wandering in the void. If you had come three years ago, you wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble. You could have gone directly to the Heartless Core Star to participate in the preliminary selection. After being selected by the higher-ups, you could have gone directly to the Holy Land for assessment."
He paused, his tone now tinged with a hint of reverence:
"Although the Heartless Holy Land does not have an imperial weapon to suppress its fortune, every member of its high-ranking members is a prodigy of this era. My master said that within a thousand years, the Heartless Holy Land will definitely give birth to another Immortal King."
Qiu Zixian nodded in agreement, her fingertips lightly tracing the air as if in reminiscence:
"That's right. Besides the Lord of Heartlessness being a Celestial King himself, I've heard that the Star-Gazing True Immortal is also close to reaching the Celestial King level."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard how solemn the two were speaking:
"Many years ago, it was the True Immortal Lanxing who personally guided me. If there hadn't been so many things to deal with back home at the time, I would have come here with him back then."
He had only mentioned this to Zi Mang before, and when he said it now, it surprised Qiu Zixian.
"What? The Celestial Immortal Lanxing personally came to guide you, and you actually refused?" Zi Mang's eyes widened instantly, and the green leaf in his hand almost fell into the void.
"Do you know how many cultivators are willing to give up all their tribal karma for a single True Immortal's guidance? And you actually chose to cross the void yourself to become a disciple?"
Chen Xuan naturally took Qiu Zixian's hand. Her fingertips were slightly cool and trembled slightly when he grasped hers, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
Chen Xuan said, "If I had nodded back then, wouldn't I have never met Zi Xian?" He looked at Qiu Zi Xian with a smile in his eyes.
Qiu Zixian lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "It seems that what you said is true, that we are destined to meet. If it were anyone else, they would probably have followed the True Immortal long ago, instead of going through such a long and winding journey like you."
"Ahem, you two, that's enough. There's still a living person here!" Zi Mang shook his head with a wry smile, deliberately putting on a stern face. "If you keep showing off your affection, I might go back on my word and not give you the Green Leaf token."
"Hahaha!" Chen Xuan patted Zi Mang on the shoulder, his tone full of sincerity.
"In any case, I must thank Brother Zimang this time. If it weren't for you, it would have taken me at least a hundred years to get here step by step using the teleportation arrays of Tian Shu Star."
He didn't tell lies.
Before the Immortal Who Gathers Stars departed, he not only left behind a star map pointing directly to the Realm of Heartbreak, but also said, "If you can arrive within three hundred years, I will take you as my personal disciple."
Lanxing probably didn't expect that after Chen Xuan left his hometown, he would first travel to the Nine Netherworld to destroy the Heavenly Dao Gu God Sect and establish his own power, the Righteous Dao Sect.
He then ventured into the Chaos God's Nest, obtained Chaos Crystals and thirty-two Chaos Dao Fruits, and also conveniently eliminated Nalan Qingtian, a thorn in his side.
Then, he accompanied Lin Yuqiong to the Purple Mansion Realm to resolve the calamity of Qilin City. Finally, thanks to Zi Mang's help, they saved a hundred years of travel time and directly arrived here using the teleportation array of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
