Chapter 1365
"As expected of the disciple personally chosen by the Thousand Immortals."
The nine people exchanged whispers, their eyes filled with longing and envy, envying the imminent rise of the Chanyue lineage.
The nine individuals possessed only average or slightly above-average foundations and had no knowledge of the Great Dao of Time. They instinctively attributed the Dao Domain that had been restrained and affected earlier to the profound mysteries of the Dao of Space.
What they didn't know was that while space can influence space, it cannot affect the normal flow of time.
However, they couldn't see that someone inside the main hall of the Taiqing Palace had noticed something amiss.
"Xin'er, are you satisfied with this operation?" Chen Xuan asked, unable to hide his smile as he was being pulled along by Zhan Xin.
"Hmph, barely passable." Zhan Xin turned around and looked at Chen Xuan with a smile, his eyes filled with Chen Xuan's reflection. "I thought your strength was only slightly stronger than the Yuan Shen realm, but I didn't expect... hmph."
"Ah, no, Xin'er, I'm being attacked by the backlash, save me..." Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes darted around, and he immediately clutched his chest, his face pale, and he began to fall downwards.
"Ah? How are you?" Zhanxin rushed to catch Chen Xuan upon seeing this. She had just hugged Chen Xuan with a drastic change in expression when she felt a pain on the bridge of her nose. Someone had scratched her nose with a finger. Looking at Chen Xuan's face, the previous paleness and pain were nowhere to be seen.
Just as Zhan Xin was about to get angry, a kiss was left on the corner of his mouth. "I was just pretending. You're only at the Nascent Soul Realm, not qualified to make me activate a forbidden technique."
"You, you're insane? This is in front of the main hall of my sect's leadership, how could you... um..."
Chen Xuancai didn't care. He was still somewhat annoyed about meeting Zhanxin's so-called parents today, and he had to get his revenge on his Daoist partner.
Ignoring Zhanxin's terrified and stammering attempt to say something, he sealed her rosy lips with his own.
Chen Xuan possessed the legendary Crimson Bright Divine Body, so how could Zhan Xin break free when he was held in his arms?
Zhanxin's cheeks, ears, and neck felt like they were on fire. He knew he was in deep trouble; he was truly humiliated this time.
Little did Chen Xuan know that everything that was happening here was being broadcast live, watched with gaping mouths by numerous beautiful women, old women, and younger female disciples in the main hall of the sect.
"Cough-cough-"
"These young people nowadays... really... sigh, the world is going to the dogs."
A cough masked the awkwardness of Chen Xuan picking his toes in the main hall. Many naive female disciples blushed and turned their heads away, cursing Chen Xuan in their hearts.
However, the few Nascent Soul Daoists from the Zen Joy Immortal lineage found Chen Xuan's gaze pleasing to the eye no matter how one looked at them.
How can such indecent and immoral scenes continue to be broadcast?
With a wave of his hand, the Palace Master put away the octagonal suspended mirror.
After this battle, the Great Elder Yu Xin Xianren lost all fighting spirit, and seemed to have aged considerably since Chen Xuan swept away nine primordial spirits with a single sword strike.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister Chanyue." The Grand Elder looked at Junior Sister Chanyue and said in a rare, peaceful tone.
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Chanyue smiled and nodded at Senior Sister Yuxin.
Then a woman in white entered the main hall, bowed to the palace master, and said, "Reporting to the palace master, Senior Sister Zhanxin has come to pay her respects with Chen Xuan, a third-generation disciple of Taiqing Palace."
The palace master nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Let them in."
"Yes, Palace Master."
After the messenger left the main hall, Zhan Xin and Chen Xuan immediately walked hand in hand into the hall without any hesitation.
Unsurprisingly, Chen Xuan immediately became a rare and precious beast in the area, and was scrutinized from all angles by dozens of pairs of eyes.
Honestly, if Chen Xuan hadn't come from modern society and seen all sorts of big scenes, he would be a little nervous.
A group of elderly women, plus many middle-aged women, leading a group of older women, their combined gaze was somewhat intimidating.
Zhan Xin, on the other hand, seemed to be used to it. He returned to his sect and met his master, uncle, and palace master with ease, even with a slight smile on his lips.
"Disciple Zhanxin greets Palace Master!"
Only when they entered the center of the main hall, and were about to pay their respects to Zhan Xin, did he release Chen Xuan's hand.
"Chen Xuan, a third-generation disciple of Taiqing Palace, pays respects to the Palace Master." After all, he was an immortal of the same generation as his master, and might even know his master, so Chen Xuan naturally paid his respects with the courtesy due to a junior.
"Hmm." Seeing that Chen Xuan possessed such strength, status, and background, and had repeatedly defeated teams at the Nascent Soul Realm level within the sect, yet remained neither humble nor arrogant, calmly and composedly paying homage to Chen Xuan with the respect due to a junior, the Palace Master smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
"Three hundred years ago, when you and your master joined forces to compete for the treasures of the Fallen Immortal Land, your master was seriously injured. I wonder how he is now?"
These words should not have been mentioned to Chen Xuan, a disciple, but the Palace Master, the immortal in charge of the Taiqing Palace, did say them.
The meaning is clear: they saw Chen Xuan's potential and, by leveraging their relationship with Immortal Qiandao, made Chen Xuan value their disciple Zhanxin even more.
"Thank you for your concern, senior. My master emerged from seclusion six years ago." Chen Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Hmm, you are quite good. You have such talent at such a young age. It is no wonder that Qian Dao has nurtured you." After saying this, the Palace Master smiled and looked at Chen Xuan. "This is the Grand Elder of my Taiqing Palace, Immortal Yu Xin."
No matter how much internal strife there is, the Palace Master is very measured in matters of external affairs. Once Zhanxin of the Chanyue faction grows up, he will surely succeed to the position of Palace Master. If the Grand Elder's faction is ignored at this moment, it will surely sow the seeds of disaster for today's actions.
"Chen Xuan greets Senior Yu Xin." When it comes to the balance of power within tribes, sects, and even nations, Chen Xuan understands it far better than those in the world of cultivators. With Daoist partners inheriting the throne, the Dragon Xia clan members will likely continue to flock to the Taiqing Palace in the future. There is absolutely no need to fall out with the Grand Elder's faction.
"Good, good, good. As expected of a disciple of Immortal Qiandao, a dragon among men, a dragon among men." Elder Yu Xin smiled kindly as he saw that the Palace Master and Chen Xuan were giving him so much face.
"This is the master of Zhanxin, the Immortal Chanyue." The Palace Master was somewhat surprised that Chen Xuan was so quick-witted, understanding his intentions with just one sentence, and his smile became even brighter.
As the palace master introduced them, Chen Xuan turned his head and saw a beautiful woman with a kind face, dressed in a blue and white robe.
