Chapter 1724
Since Chen Xuan had made his decision, Piaoxue and the others stopped trying to persuade him.
To them, Chen Xuan was their backbone, their pillar of support. They would follow him unconditionally, no matter what path lay ahead.
"Sister Yao'er." Chen Xuan suppressed his smile and looked at Lin Yuyao, who was standing beside his Daoist partners, and asked, "How many of those old guys from the Holy City level will come to the battle of Qilin City ten years from now?"
Lin Yuyao naturally understood that the "old guys" he was referring to were the gods and immortals who were stationed in the Holy City. She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before replying, "According to the rules, they should all send their true selves here, while their primordial spirit avatars would remain in the Holy City to guard against any unforeseen circumstances."
Although she believed that Chen Xuan's strength was unfathomable, she still couldn't help but remind him: "Every holy city is an old lair that has been passed down for countless years. Compared to those old guys who are stationed there, the terrifying killing formations that have been reinforced by the city over the years are much more troublesome."
This statement is not unfounded. Just look at Qilin City itself. Even though it is gradually weakening, the major holy cities only dare to use soft tactics to slowly dismantle it, and dare not forcibly break through and destroy it.
After all, they are both ancient holy cities with profound cultural heritage, and no one can say for sure how many deadly moves the other has been hiding for countless years.
“In that case, let’s catch them all in one fell swoop.” Chen Xuan smiled, no longer dwelling on the topic, and turned to look at his five Daoist partners, a sly glint in his eyes, “During this trip to the Chaos God’s Nest, my husband acquired some fun gadgets, which you will surely enjoy.”
Compared to the provocative antics of those ants, the words "fun stuff" immediately piqued the curiosity of Yu'er and the others.
After returning to his room, Chen Xuan immediately drew up blueprints and, using rare divine materials such as Chaos Crystal as a base, refined a high-grade immortal magic weapon—the Octagonal Ten-Layer Pagoda—in just one afternoon.
The first floor of this tower was densely packed with the corpses of ancient immortals at the Nascent Soul stage;
The second level consists of the Primordial Spirit Realm mixed with a few Anti-Void Realm cultivators;
The third layer suddenly increased in intensity, with ten corpses of Heavenly Immortals mixed in among the seventy percent of the Void Realm cultivators.
Every three levels above represents a leap in realm, until the tenth level, where nine Immortal King-level corpses are suppressed, each level progressively higher, with hidden killing intent.
"Really?" Yu'er was the most excited. In her opinion, anything that Chen Xuan said was "fun" must be an extremely wonderful magical treasure or rare item.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the five women, Chen Xuan waved his hand to open the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion, taking them all inside.
With a flash of light and shadow, the five women disappeared from their original spot, leaving only Lin Yuyao staring expectantly, and Bai Li with a "watching the show" expression.
"Wh...what's so fun that you're in such a hurry?" Lin Yuyao clutched the hem of her clothes, pouting and not daring to look Chen Xuan in the eye. She knew she couldn't compare to Yu'er and the others—they were family, while she was ultimately an outsider.
Chen Xuan saw through her little mood and just smiled: "Your brother is looking for you, go back quickly."
"You big bad guy, you're keeping me in suspense again!" Lin Yuyao snorted, though she was indignant, she still nodded and turned to walk towards the "Millennium Drunkenness" tavern, her back view carrying a hint of childish annoyance.
After Lin Yuyao left, Bai Li raised her head and looked at Chen Xuan, saying, "Master, why didn't you just kill those bastards? How dare they insult the mistresses!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan tapped her head with his finger and chuckled, "Still acting like a child. I've already made a decision on this matter. Compared to these trivial things..." He changed the subject, his gaze becoming serious, "Bai Li, I have an important task for you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li immediately composed herself, instantly transforming into a white-clad girl and landing beside Chen Xuan. She solemnly said, "Master, please give your orders!"
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Nalan Qingtian is dead. The last thorn in the side threatening the tribe is gone. My second primordial spirit no longer needs to be stationed in Longxia County at all times."
He flipped his hand and took out several storage rings, one by one, and handed them to Bai Li. "These rings are for my primordial spirit, Elder Long, Linglong, Wang Ye, Lingyu, and Brother Xuanmo. You must personally hand them over to them."
Bai Li accepted them one by one, nodding emphatically.
"Also, this is for you." Chen Xuan handed over a storage bracelet, a gentle smile in his eyes. "Inside are several immortal-grade magic treasures and armor that I crafted for you, as well as some Dao talismans. Once you send the message back, with these resources, your second primordial spirit's strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds."
Bai Li took the bracelet and scanned it with her divine sense. Her eyes widened immediately – inside were nine immortal-grade magic treasures neatly arranged: flying swords, armor, hairpins, jade pendants… Each piece was custom-made, small and exquisite, and brimming with spiritual energy.
"Master... Waaah, you're so good to me!" With no one else around, Bai Li couldn't hold back any longer and excitedly threw herself into Chen Xuan's arms, giving him several kisses on the cheek.
This scene was witnessed by several passing cultivators, who all showed disdain. In the eyes of cultivators in this realm, the relationship between spirit beasts and their masters was merely that of tools. What cultivator would develop genuine feelings for a tool?
Chen Xuan patted her back and took out a talisman from his pocket: "After you deliver the message, you can use this talisman to teleport back."
Bai Li gasped upon recognizing the aura of the talisman: "A... a Great Teleportation Talisman? Master, isn't this a bit too wasteful?"
"It's just a Dao talisman." Chen Xuan said dismissively, "Within fifty years, I will be able to fully comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. At that time, the Great Shift Dao talisman, which is regarded as a treasure by the outside world, will be nothing but an insignificant thing to me."
"Wow! Really, Master?" Bai Li's eyes sparkled. "You're already skilled in the art of talismans. If you were to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, wouldn't you be able to refine the Great Teleportation Talisman yourself?"
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile: "Not only that, at that time, with a thought, one can perform the teleportation technique, the power of which is comparable to the Great Teleportation Talisman."
Bai Li readily agreed, though she didn't fully understand what it meant, she knew it must be an extremely powerful realm. Chen Xuan escorted her into the large teleportation array, watching her transform into a streak of light and disappear into the array's halo before turning and walking back.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuyao rushed back to the "Millennium Drunkenness" inn and met her brother who was waiting in the room.
She recounted the entire conflict that had just occurred in the market, her voice still tinged with lingering anger.
Upon learning that the major holy cities dared to provoke Chen Xuan, the god of death, Lin Yuqiong sneered and shook her head: "They are courting death and have no one to blame but themselves."
After expressing his feelings, he took out a jade box and a bright white jade bottle and handed them to his younger sister: "Take a look at this."
Lin Yuyao exclaimed in surprise when she saw what was inside, her eyes filled with disbelief – it was the nine Chaos Crystals and a bottle of True Dragon Elixir!
"Brother, where... where did such a treasure come from?" She accepted it with delight, her fingertips trembling slightly with excitement. The humiliation and repression she had suffered vanished the moment she saw these two treasures—she seemed to see the hope of taking revenge herself.
Seeing her younger sister so happy, Lin Yuqiong had no choice but to pour cold water on her and reveal the whole deal she had made with Chen Xuan.
Upon learning that Chen Xuan desired six portions of her Sacred Qilin's essence blood, Lin Yuyao was not surprised. She was no longer Chen Xuan's Daoist partner; why should she receive such assistance for nothing? An equal exchange suited her perfectly.
"Alright, I agree." She gripped the jade box tightly, a resolute glint in her eyes. "What is this price as long as we can protect Qilin City?"
