Chapter 904
Zi Mo gently put down the flying message in her hand, took light steps, and walked out of her secluded cultivation cave. She raised her eyes and looked towards the direction of Qingtian City. Her red lips parted slightly, and she murmured softly, "Chen Xuan, three years later, when we meet again, I wonder if I will still be able to keep up with your pace. When the ancient road to the Immortal Realm opens, will I, Zi Mo, still be able to lend you a helping hand?"
Deep within the mountains of the ancient academy, where core disciples cultivate exclusively, in a secluded and luxuriously decorated mansion, Tianxing also received this momentous news.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder he is the man who can shake my Heavenly Star Dao Heart. He is so talented and brilliant that he can even break the myth of the invincible early stage of the reincarnated immortal's cultivation."
Tianxing, with her graceful figure, repeatedly flipped through the letter in her hand. The scene of Chen Xuan removing the poison for her back in the Qingtian Marquis's mansion involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and a surge of heat welled up in her heart.
She turned to look at the portrait of Chen Xuan hanging on the wall of her boudoir, her cheeks flushing, and thought to herself, "Oh no, the more I look at it, the more I like it."
After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and murmured to herself, "Fortunately, the ancient road to the Immortal Realm will descend in three years. No, I must intensify my cultivation and strive to obtain a spot. Maybe then I can walk alongside Chen Xuan?"
……
At this moment, every sect with even a little bit of foundation received the news from Qingtian City immediately, but Chen Xuan, the person involved, was completely unaware of it.
After dinner, Chen Xuan strolled to the Hundred Mile Spirit Field, slowly walking around it, pondering the Dao discussion at the Hall of Proof of the Dao the next day.
"Master, what's wrong? Why do you look so troubled?" As Chen Xuan's personal spirit beast, Bai Li could vaguely sense her master's emotional changes through their master-servant contract. She reached out and took Chen Xuan's hand, gently shaking it, her eyes full of concern.
Looking at Bai Li's charming and adorable appearance, Chen Xuan smiled, reached out and rubbed her head, and said gently, "Naturally, I'm thinking about tomorrow's discussion and exchange of ideas."
Bai Li blinked her big eyes, tilted her head, and asked, "What, does Master not have confidence in that fairy?"
“The other party is a reincarnated immortal, whose strength is even above that of Senior Brother Jianxin. She can even manifest and unleash the Great Dao. This time, I really don’t have much confidence.” Chen Xuan truthfully expressed his inner struggle.
"Of course, even though Senior Sister Piaoxue is renowned and can manifest the Great Dao, Master still has a good chance of winning. However, if Master does that, his strength will be completely exposed to everyone."
“In this way, when I go out to train in the future, my enemies will know my trump card, which will be somewhat disadvantageous to me.” Chen Xuan frowned slightly and continued, “Moreover, even if I reveal my last trump card, I am not sure if I can defeat Senior Sister Piaoxue.”
This is Chen Xuan's current dilemma: should he continue to keep a low profile and bide his time, or should he reveal his brilliance and become famous tomorrow during the Daoist debate?
While lying low and patiently waiting can preserve key trump cards and increase the chances of winning in future battles, if one shows off one's strength, even if one cannot defeat Piaoxue, one can still make a name for oneself and make it easier to spread one's reputation and find the scattered Longxia people.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li replied without hesitation, "Of course we'll go all out and make a name for ourselves! After all, once our master's reputation spreads, we can find Linglong, Wang Ye, and Shi Hao much faster."
"As for the leakage of your strength and trump cards, what does it matter? Anyway, after this Dao Proving Hall debate, Master will definitely be able to become a disciple of a powerful master. Master is already so powerful without a master's guidance. Once you become a disciple, you will not only be able to learn the sect's top techniques, but also cultivate various body-refining divine abilities. At that time, Master's strength will definitely increase dramatically in a short period of time."
It must be said that bystanders see things more clearly; Bai Li didn't have many concerns and immediately pointed out the key point.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was struck dumb, as if by lightning, and instantly enlightened. Overjoyed, he picked up Bai Li, gently kissed her cheek, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, those words are truly a wake-up call! Yes, yes, that's right. It seems that thinking too far ahead is not necessarily a good thing."
With his inner knot untied, Chen Xuan's thoughts became increasingly open.
He remembered that there were still 800 years of cultivation left on the system panel that could be infused. With this help, he would definitely be able to make further progress in his understanding of the Dao, and it would no longer be a pipe dream to directly master the complete ordinary Dao.
In this way, even if the enemy sets up a trap based on the strength displayed in the Hall of Proof of the Dao, they can still be caught off guard when one's full strength is unleashed.
"Master, Bai Li wants another kiss." Bai Li's face instantly turned bright red, after all, this was an intimate gesture from her master while he was awake, which was extremely precious.
"Uh, definitely next time," Chen Xuan replied with a smile, taking Bai Li's hand and heading straight for the summit.
The two left hand in hand, like a divine couple. Only then did the descendants of the Five Immortals around the Hundred Mile Spirit Field dare to peek out.
"Hehe, see? I told you, the ancestor and the master are a perfect match."
“That’s right, that’s our ancestor.”
"Mother, Father, I also love the Ancestor. When I grow up, Ya Ya wants to marry the Master and become his wife, okay?" a little fox said in a childish voice.
"Shh, child, you mustn't say such things in front of the leader and the ancestor."
The two snow-white foxes quickly covered their cubs' mouths and whispered instructions in sign language. This little fox had lived in the spiritually rich land of Beiming Peak since it was a cub. From the moment it opened its eyes, it had been eating spiritual grains produced by top-grade spiritual fields, and had awakened its spiritual soul early on, developing human-like thinking.
"Hehe, Ya Ya remembers, Mother and Father."
……
On the second floor of the main hall of Beiming Peak, in his residence, Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on a jade bed, circulating his embryonic breathing and spirit-refining technique to fully recover the mental energy he had depleted during the day.
Bai Li was used to cultivating during the day, which allowed her to take care of many miscellaneous matters on Beiming Peak and make it convenient to travel with Chen Xuan at any time. At night, she usually slept soundly, simply because sleeping next to her master made her feel especially at ease.
As the stars shifted and the constellations changed, night turned to day. In the blink of an eye, the morning sun shone on the Northern Darkness Peak the next morning.
After a period of embryonic breathing and spirit cultivation, Chen Xuan felt refreshed and his energy and spirit had been fully restored.
He strolled downstairs and saw Bai Li wearing a floral apron, carrying a vessel that resembled a cauldron, filled with sweet and thick spirit grain porridge.
As expected of a close and devoted spirit beast, Bai Li knew Chen Xuan's daily routine perfectly.
"Good morning, Master. Come and try this spirit grain porridge. It's made with the freshest spirit grain we just harvested, so it's very fresh," Bai Li said with a smile.
Chen Xuan took the spirit grain porridge and chatted with Bai Li about the reclamation of Burial Mountain yesterday while drinking it. After breakfast, Chen Xuan had just finished washing up when he heard Wang Kaixuan's shouts.
"Junior Brother Chen Xuan, come out quickly."
Chen Xuan led Bai Li out of the main hall and looked up to see three figures floating in the sky.
Wang Kaixuan goes without saying, but the stunningly beautiful woman in a flowing blue dress beside him, and the alluring woman in a red dress, made Chen Xuan pause for a moment. He then took Bai Li and flew over to greet them.
Senior Sister Qinglian
"I was unaware that Senior Sister Qinglian and Senior Sister Fengyue were coming; I have been negligent in my duties."
Cultivators possess extraordinary memory and hearing abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Chen Xuan overheard the discussions among the senior disciples yesterday and naturally recognized that the alluring woman in red was none other than Senior Sister Fengyue, who had a very close relationship with Senior Sister Qinglian.
