Chapter 1806
"I...I don't even know what to say..." Lin Yuqiong's face flushed red, and she was so excited that she almost lost her composure. "How about I kowtow to you while no one's around?"
"Hahaha!" Chen Xuan laughed loudly, and punched Lin Yuqiong. "Get out of here! I did this to cultivate a disciple who can become a genius, it's not purely to help you."
The two exchanged a smile, understanding each other's intentions without needing to say more—Chen Xuan was paving the way for Qilin City and also laying the groundwork for future allies for his personal disciple.
Snowflakes continued to fall softly, clinging to their robes before quickly melting into tiny water droplets. They stood side by side beneath the green bamboo in the courtyard, gazing up at the starry sky in the distance, their eyes lost in thought.
"Once you and Yao'er's true forms break through to the Void Reversal Realm, I will take them away from Qilin Star." Chen Xuan's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable certainty.
A pang of reluctance rose in Lin Yuqiong's heart—he had just ascended to the position of city lord, and his younger sister, with whom he had depended on each other since childhood, was about to go with Chen Xuan.
But he also knew that the path of cultivation was inherently filled with separations, so he suppressed his emotions and solemnly instructed, "Only by passing the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation can one attain immortality. You must be careful on your journey, as there are many perilous places in the outer nebulae, not to mention that you have offended forces like the Feathered Divine Dynasty."
Chen Xuan didn't pay much attention to Shen Yu, but sighed, "The sword path I cultivate is different from others. To reach the Void Reversal Realm, one must accumulate a sufficiently deep foundation before having any chance of passing the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation."
Lin Yuqiong nodded—Heaven's way is fair; the stronger one's aptitude, the more Great Dao one masters, and the heavier the karmic entanglements, the more terrifying the future tribulation will be.
He looked at Chen Xuan with eyes full of trust: "With your talent and foundation, you will surely succeed in overcoming the tribulation and achieve the position of a Celestial Immortal."
"Just stay true to your original aspirations and do your best," Chen Xuan replied with a smile.
Over the next few months, Chen Xuan accompanied Lin Yuqiong through the mountains and dangerous places of Qilin Star, embedding the ninety-nine divine stone boundary markers into the array base one by one.
When setting up the formation, he secretly left a backup plan—although Lin Yuqiong was the city lord, he only needed to refine a portion of the formation base, and the main control of the formation was originally in the hands of the core forces of Qilin City.
After the last boundary marker was properly placed, Chen Xuan took out a small purple stone tablet and handed it to Lin Yuqiong: "Refine this item, and you can instantly stop the operation of the great formation. Even if the Grand Elder and others betray you, you will have a trump card to counterattack."
Lin Yuqiong was completely dumbfounded: "A grand formation can be set up like this?"
"This is something I came up with by combining the idea of 'leaving backdoors' in the technology of my hometown in my previous life. I never thought it would actually work," Chen Xuan explained with a smile.
"If you focus on studying weapon crafting, formations, and talismans, your achievements may not be inferior to those in swordsmanship," Lin Yuqiong sincerely praised.
"The way of the sword is all about killing; the other three paths are merely auxiliary." Chen Xuan remained noncommittal.
Seeing the Great Array of Suppressing the Realm fully formed, Chen Xuan felt relieved—with these backup plans, even if Qilin City faced a crisis in the future, it could still maintain its foundation and heritage.
Just as the two were chatting, Lin Yuqiong's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes: "My true form... has broken through to the Void Reversal Realm!"
Chen Xuan looked down towards Lin Yuqiong's residence and smiled, "Congratulations. Now you can refine that core stone tablet and completely control the Realm-Suppressing Array."
"Come on! Brother Chen Xuan, let's go to my residence for a drink!" Lin Yuqiong pulled Chen Xuan, her steps becoming lighter.
Ten days later, news came from the Immortal Abode World—Lin Yuyao's true form had also successfully broken through the shackles and ascended to the Void Return Realm.
In the blink of an eye, the Awakening of Insects arrives, spring thunder rumbles faintly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth becomes active, and all things revive.
Deep within the tomb complex of the Qilin sons of past dynasties on the planet Qilin, Chen Xuan held Lin Yuyao's hand, with Lin Yuqiong following behind.
The three walked along the bluestone path, passing tombstones engraved with ancient runes, and finally stopped in front of the deepest mausoleum.
It was a huge stone tablet in the shape of a Qilin (a mythical creature), with the words "[Tomb of the 268th generation Qilin son]" engraved in divine and demonic script on its surface.
A thin layer of dust covered the stone tablet, yet it still exuded the majesty of the Holy Qilin bloodline, as if the stunning female city lord who had amazed an era had never gone far away.
