Chapter 1936
"Really, my husband?" Zi Mo and Tian Xing's eyes lit up instantly. The sight of nearly a hundred holy sons and daughters from the ten holy lands competing on the same stage was something they had long yearned for.
"It's just a few spots, nothing serious." Chen Xuan said casually, but he had already planned to go see the sect leader alone later to finalize the matter.
After dinner, Chen Xuan left the Second Cave Heaven alone. Less than an hour later, he returned.
Zi Mo and Tian Xing were already waiting outside the hall. When they saw him return, they immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Husband, did the sect leader agree?"
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile: "Yes, the sect leader has agreed."
The two cheered immediately, turned around and rushed out of the immortal mansion, eager to tell their other sisters the good news.
Only Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian remained in the courtyard. Qiu Zixian brought over a cup of warm spiritual tea and handed it to Chen Xuan, her gaze filled with inquiry: "Going to see the sect leader alone, it can't be just for such a small matter as a spot to watch the battle, can it?"
Chen Xuan took the teacup, feeling the warmth on his fingertips. He looked up at Qiu Zixian's worried eyes and gently shook his head: "It's nothing serious, it's just that the high-ranking member leading the team this time is not the sect leader."
"So what?" Qiu Zixian became increasingly puzzled—the three elders were all True Immortals, enough to lead the team.
Chen Xuan simply smiled faintly and offered no further explanation.
"Still keeping me in suspense?" Qiu Zixian pouted slightly, pretending to be angry as she turned her head away, but the tips of her ears were secretly turning red.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan got up and walked to her side, pulling her into his arms. The fragrance of her hair lingered in his nostrils, and his palm rested on her soft back. He closed his eyes slightly and said, "You will know what it is tomorrow."
Qiu Zixian could sense the sadness in his tone, so she stopped asking and simply leaned gently on his shoulder, saying softly, "It's not too late to tell me when you're ready."
The next day, before dawn, with night still shrouding the earth, dozens of streaks of light suddenly shot out from the horizon of the Second Grotto-Heaven's Eternal World, piercing the tranquil morning mist—Chen Xuan, along with his seven Daoist companions, was ready to set off.
Along the way, they encountered many senior disciples who stopped and respectfully greeted Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian as they approached hand in hand: "Greetings, Holy Son Senior Brother!"
Chen Xuan merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then waved his hand, summoning a pure white flying boat. The boat was shaped like a phoenix, its wings adorned with faint runes and radiating a soft spiritual light. He and his seven Daoist companions boarded the flying boat and took the lead, heading towards the First Grotto-Heaven.
In the plaza in front of the main hall of the First Grotto Heaven Sect, a considerable number of disciples had already gathered. Most of them were personal disciples dressed in fine robes, handsome men and beautiful women standing side by side, chatting and laughing; there were also a few core disciples standing in a corner, their eyes full of anticipation.
Chen Xuan, Qiu Zixian, Bai Qianhuan, Bai Qianjue, Xuan Hao, Liu Li, and Cang Xuanyue, as the core combat force qualified to participate in the battle, did not linger in the square and flew straight towards the sect leader's hall.
Since the establishment of the Ten Holy Lands, the Holy Land Ranking Battle has been held countless times. If it weren't for the Holy Land's prestige and subsequent disciple recruitment, there would be no need for a True Immortal to preside over it; on the contrary, the opening of the Devouring Demon Star Ruins each time would stir up tensions from all sides.
In the past, the Devouring Demon Star Ruins were only opened on a small scale, but this time is different—coinciding with a millennium milestone, the scope of the opening and the opportunities it contains far surpass those of the past. It is precisely for this reason that those holy sons who were in seclusion for training are rushing back so eagerly.
After all, the legendary Devouring Demon Star Ruins is said to have buried thirty or forty half-step Great Emperor level powerhouses! After their fall, their divine bodies disintegrated, and countless rare divine substances from the Immortal Ancient Era permeated the Star Ruins; what's even more insane is that if you're lucky enough, you might be able to obtain the inheritance of a certain Immortal Ancient Quasi-Emperor, which would be equivalent to ascending to the heavens in one step!
If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Lords of the Ten Holy Lands were mindful of their status and position, they would probably have personally led their teams to compete for the rankings and opportunities within the Star Ruins.
