System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Chapter 1360

These disgruntled voices were all from the junior female disciples who had recently joined the Heaven and Earth Taiqing Palace.

Like the younger generation who didn't know Chen Xuan before, they were like newborn calves unafraid of tigers.

Zhan Xin was surprised that Chen Xuan was so genuine. With a smile on his lips, he looked at the junior sisters at the table below and the cultivators from all sides and said indifferently, "Chen Xuan is my Daoist partner."

"Chen Xuan!?"

"It's him!"

The news shocked everyone inside and outside Wanbaoshan. Leaving aside Chen Xuan's past achievements, what shocked these young people was the rumors that had been circulating in Qingtian City a few years ago.

[Regarding the disgraceful act of Chen Xuan taking advantage of someone's vulnerability in the wilderness and forcing the Heart-Slaying Fairy to become his dual cultivation partner.]

Regarding Chen Xuan's ambush in the wilderness and his defilement of the Heart-Slaying Fairy...

In short, with the help of the Lielong Clan and Tianxuan Clan's efforts to hunt down Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan had already been vilified as a demon, a despicable villain, and someone everyone wanted to kill.

It was precisely for this reason that Daoist Zixin personally went to the Hunting Dragon Clan and Tianxuan Clan to intimidate them, carrying a letter from Immortal Qiandao.

However, seeing Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin so intimately at this moment, the rumors were immediately debunked, and everyone cursed the Lie Long clan and others who spread rumors.

Of course, some pure-hearted cultivators did not believe it, thinking that Chen Xuan forced Zhanxin to sign the servant contract and that Zhanxin Fairy was forced to say it when she announced that she was a Daoist partner.

All I can say is that the imaginations of devout believers are terrifying.

Then, disregarding all sides, Zhanxin directly activated the unique magic array of the VIP room, isolating it from the outside world.

Without external influences, Zhan Xin blushed for once and pulled Chen Xuan to sit down in a seat, saying softly, "I have already informed my master about our matter, and because His Majesty the Emperor is going to hold the Immortal Affinity Gathering, I have also been told to break through to become a Nascent Soul and participate."

Chen Xuan sipped his tea and nodded slightly. "What does your master mean?"

"My master took me in and raised me in the sect since I was a child, treating me like her own son. She always wanted to see you in person, and also... see if you were qualified to marry the next Palace Master of Taiqing Palace." Zhan Xin was a little worried when she said this. After all, with Chen Xuan's strength, it could be said that apart from those monstrous first-class Earth Immortals and loose immortals with more than two or three hundred thousand years of experience in Qingtian City, he was hard to beat.

She was truly afraid that Chen Xuan, like other cultivators whose strength and status had skyrocketed, would fight back against the elders of the sect after they returned to their own sect.

Both sides are flesh and blood, and Zhanxin really didn't want to see that scene happen.

"How about I go and beg Master again..." Zhanxin looked at Chen Xuan with concern.

Zhan Xin's transformation from her arrogant and decisive personality when we first met to her current status as the next Palace Master of the Heaven and Earth Taiqing Palace has all occurred within just a few short years.

There were quite a few competitors for Zhan Xin back then, but with the end of this secret realm, Zhan Xin has gained the approval of the Palace Master and the Ten Elders in terms of both strength and character. Therefore, the sect took this matter seriously and asked Chen Xuan to go to Taiqing Palace to test him personally.

After all, the Palace Master is the most important person in the Taiqing Palace. If Chen Xuan is just a person with a hollow reputation, then what prestige will the Taiqing Palace have in the future?

"Xin'er, I know what you're worried about." Chen Xuan embraced Zhan Xin and said softly, "Since the seniors want to see me, for your sake and for those sects and factions that oppose you, I should go."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xin felt relieved. "You will definitely be tested by the higher-ups during this trip, and there's even a possibility..."

"I know what I'm doing and won't go on a killing spree," Chen Xuan said, patting Zhanxin on the back.

"Well, I believe you."

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin walked hand in hand up to the VIP trading area on the third floor.

The fox fairy had already prepared everything she needed and was eagerly awaiting Chen Xuan's arrival.

During Chen Xuan's journey along the ancient road of the Immortal Realm, he likely killed over a thousand cultivators from various star regions. Among them, disciples from holy lands, holy cities, and other top-tier sects and tribes accounted for half. The personal magical artifacts, storage artifacts, and resources carried by these individuals were terrifying when accumulated.

Considering his own needs and the tribe's needs for the next hundred years, Chen Xuan sold all the magical treasures, rare items, books, talismans, spirit wines, spirit fruits, and the produce from the hundred miles of spirit fields on Beiming Peak that he no longer needed to Wanbaoshan.

The amount of this transaction was so large that even the Fox Fairy felt breathless. Looking at Chen Xuan's eyes, they were truly filled with longing. Before, it was just an outward facade to build a relationship, but now the Fox Fairy had genuinely fallen for Chen Xuan. It was terrifying.

Soon, the fox fairy returned hastily, handing Chen Xuan a delicate storage magic item and smiling, "Young master, all the resources you need are inside, please check."

The fox fairy spoke with reverence, for she was her provider.

Chen Xuan took the storage magic treasure and scanned it with his divine sense. He smiled and said, "I'll take my leave now, since that's the case, Fox Fairy."

Soon, Chen Xuan swaggered out of Wanbao Mountain, holding Zhan Xin's hand, and headed straight for the entrance to a small spatial barrier within Qingtian City.

At the entrance of Taiqing Palace, a Yuan Shen Daoist is stationed year-round, and several Wanxiang disciples patrol the area.

If a sect's strategic location is controlled by an enemy, all the cultivators inside will be trapped like turtles in a jar, so it is extremely important.

The disciples on their routine patrol of the realm saw Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin approaching hand in hand.

Immediately, all the disciples stared wide-eyed at them.

"Fellow Daoist, halt!" A group of Taiqing Palace disciples directly blocked Chen Xuan's path.

"I am here on my master's orders to bring Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan into the sect to meet the Palace Master," Zhan Xin said coldly, standing in front of Chen Xuan.

"I'm sorry, senior sister, my garrison has not received orders from higher-ups, so we cannot let them pass."

This group of disciples was clearly not the same as the previous group. They were even very tough when faced with Zhan Xin's words, which meant they had already been told that it was a deliberate obstruction. Chen Xuan could tell the mystery behind it at a glance.

“In that case, Chen Xuan has no choice but to offend you.” Chen Xuan pulled Zhan Xin back behind him, then formed a sword finger with his right hand.

"break!"

A ripple emanating from Chen Xuan's divine sense swept over the group of Myriad Manifestations Realm disciples like a surging ocean wave.

"what!"

"A divine technique—how is that possible?"

"Chen Xuan, how dare you force your way into my sect..."

A group of nine disciples, their eyes rolled back in despair, collapsed to the ground, and could only watch helplessly as Chen Xuan pulled Zhan Xin over their bodies and walked straight into the entrance of the sect's barrier.

"Oh, it's a double barrier?"

After Chen Xuan stepped into the first layer of the barrier, he immediately saw that the entrance in front of the corridor, which was still formed by the gathering of gray mist, was the Strange Path.

“Young friend, if you leave now, I will not hold you accountable for your crimes.”

Whoosh—

As Chen Xuan entered the first barrier entrance, a sharp-looking middle-aged woman in white blocked his way. This woman had a very strong aura, comparable to that of Daoist Zi Xin when they first met.

Unfortunately, Chen Xuan was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm back then, and he was indeed shocked when he saw his Martial Aunt Zi Xin. But things are different now. The strength that Chen Xuan can unleash at will has long surpassed that of his Martial Aunt Zi Xin.
