Chapter 2225
However, this was exactly the effect Chen Xuan wanted.
After all, his return this time can be considered a triumphant homecoming, so naturally he had to inform all the feudal lords of this "good news"—he was going to relocate the entire Xuanxiao Star to the inner world of the sect's holy land.
Compared to the star field where Xuanxiao Star is located, which is lacking in true essence and resources, the inner world of the Holy Land is the most outstanding in terms of geographical location, the density of spiritual energy, and the abundance of resources.
As expected, Chen Xuan and the other seventeen people waited in the outer void for a full hour before the mighty army, which had formed countless battle formations, finally appeared.
If it weren't for the fact that the seventeen people's divine senses could easily cover the entire Xuanxiao Star and clearly know the other party's movements, they probably would have already been unable to hold back and descended directly.
"Wow, Brother Chen Xuan, although your hometown only has three or four Celestial Immortals, it has quite a few Void Reversal Realm cultivators!" Zixia activated her divine sense, scanning the battle formations below that were ready to die for their cause, her eyes filled with amazement.
"And they all exuded such a powerful and imposing aura!"
"It is truly rare for such a blessed and determined being to be born in such a barren void star field." Dao Yi nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of approval.
Just then, Lu Xueqi's divine sense seemed to pierce through layers of clouds and battle formations, catching sight of a familiar figure. Her eyes instantly reddened, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks. Her gaze was fixed on the faintly visible dragon battle formation below, and she choked out in a low voice:
“Master… after more than a thousand years, you have become so much younger…”
Chen Xuan gently took Lu Xueqi's small hand, smiled tenderly, and softly comforted her:
“Earth was once in the Dharma-ending Age, with an extreme lack of spiritual energy. After everyone was moved here, the Old Celestial Master and Daoist Zhishun were rejuvenated, their cultivation improved, and their appearances became much younger.”
As he spoke, Chen Xuan's brows furrowed slightly. He pushed his divine sense to its limit, covering the entire Xuanxiao Star and even the surrounding airspace, but he still couldn't detect the aura of his master, Immortal Qiandao.
"My master went out to train after I left. Could it be that... he has not returned yet?"
……
Just as Chen Xuan was pondering this, the sound of a mighty immortal war drum came from the distant horizon, accompanied by deafening battle shouts. The massive army of cultivators had already arrived tens of thousands of miles away.
At this distance, both figures were clearly visible.
"Wait, Big Brother!" Bei Shan Xiaolong was the first to activate his divine sense to scan the opposite side. His pupils suddenly widened in shock. He quickly transmitted his voice to Xuan Xiaomo and the others beside him, his tone filled with disbelief, "That white-haired youth who is leading the group... why do I feel like I'm familiar with him?"
Upon hearing this, Tianhu'er, Wuxin Laozu, and Xuanxiao Mo were moved and immediately focused their minds to extend their divine senses over to carefully examine the familiar figure opposite them.
In an instant, all four of them were stunned, their eyes filled with shock and ecstasy.
"Brother Chen Xuan! It really is him! It's Brother Chen Xuan!" Xuan Xiaomo trembled with excitement, his face flushed red, and he shouted in a trembling voice.
"Even though a thousand years have passed, his appearance remains unchanged." Tianhu'er gazed up at the tall figure in the void, her eyes filled with tenderness, and sighed softly.
"Go! Follow me!" Xuan Xiaomo roared with delight and flew towards Chen Xuan and the others first.
In the void behind them, the densely packed battle formations instantly halted their advance, the deafening war drums ceased abruptly, and the surging battle cries vanished without a trace, restoring tranquility to the world.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled warmly and waved to signal the people around him to fly into the airspace of Xuanxiao Star together.
"Brother Xuanmo, Senior Wuxin, Senior Beishan, Senior Tianhu. It has been a thousand years since we parted ways. It is wonderful to see you all again today!" Chen Xuan led the seventeen people and flew at a leisurely pace. He, as the leader, greeted the four people coming towards him with a smile and expressed his feelings.
"It really is you... Chen Xuan, you're finally back! Hahaha!" Xuan Xiaomo flew closer and looked at the familiar face before him. He was so excited that he was speechless. A thousand words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know where to begin.
As the two sides met up close, Wuxin Patriarch, Tianhu'er, and Beishan King were all extremely excited, staring intently at Chen Xuan with eyes full of joy and concern.
"Chen Xuan, you've finally come back!" The King of Beishan flew over impatiently, stretched out his large, fan-like hand, and gave Chen Xuan's shoulder a good punch, his tone carrying a hint of reproach and affection.
"If Miss Bai Li hadn't returned last time to let us know that you were all well, we would have all thought that you had forgotten about your old friends back home after you joined the immortal sect!"
Chen Xuan smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and briefly recounted his experiences over the years:
"It took a lot of time to hunt down Nalan Qingtian back then. Then we rushed to the sect's holy land, which took nearly two hundred years just to get there. This trip back was really not easy."
Upon hearing that Nalan Qingtian had been completely annihilated, Xuan Xiaomo and the others nodded solemnly. The nail that had been pressing on their hearts for a thousand years had finally been lifted, and they felt much more at ease.
At this moment, Xuan Xiaomo and the others also gathered around, carefully examining Chen Xuan.
Upon seeing them again, Chen Xuan felt a sense of temporal displacement—in his perception, only a few hundred years had passed since he left, but the changes in the people before him reminded him that more than a thousand years had already gone by.
It was Beishan Xiaolong that broke the brief silence first.
"By the way, Brother Chen Xuan, these accompanying fairies... are they all your wives?" Bei Shan Xiaolong's gaze swept over Xia Jiuyou, Chen Xi, Feng Yao, the Zi Qing sisters, and the Holy Maiden Huang Quan, as he clicked his tongue in admiration at their unparalleled beauty and asked casually.
"You're something else! You've only been gone a short time and you've already met so many stunning beauties?"
Upon hearing this, Chenxi, Fengyao, the Ziqing sisters, and even the usually aloof Xia Jiuyou and other female cultivators blushed instantly and glared at the outspoken Beishan Xiaolong.
If this happened in outer space, any stranger who dared to make such a presumptuous joke would likely have been killed on the spot.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly grabbed the King of Beishan and explained with a wry smile, "Don't talk nonsense! These are all my friends who have shared life and death with me, not what you think."
After all, this was Chen Xuan's home planet, Xingchen. When Dao Yi, Xia Jiuyou, and the others arrived, they had already concealed their oppressive aura.
Otherwise, with the eyesight of the Northern Mountain King at the Celestial Immortal level, having perceived their terrifying strength, he would never dare to joke like that.
"Hehehe, I was confused and misspoke!" King Beishan realized his teasing was a bit abrupt, scratched his head, and laughed heartily, "Sorry, everyone!"
At this moment, the army of cultivators led by the three thousand six hundred feudal lords who had arrived at this void a step later finally arrived at the front of the battle in a grand procession.
From within the crowd, an aged and trembling voice rang out, filled with boundless excitement and disbelief: "Xiao Xuan... Xiao Xuan... Is it really you?"
