Chapter 1914
When Chen Xuan returned from the residence of the Star-Gazing Immortal, he had a booklet with a dark gold cover. The cover was stamped with nine ancient seal characters that read "List of the Holy Sons and Daughters of the Ten Great Holy Lands". Inside, it recorded the names of the geniuses publicly recognized by the high-ranking officials of each holy land. Next to each name, there was also a corresponding Dao title and the Great Dao they were good at.
"The top three Holy Sons of the Yao Guang Holy Land: Xiao Xuanche, Mo Xingyan, and Lu Jinxiao..." Chen Xuan's fingertips traced across the paper, his gaze quickly shifting downwards to the list of Holy Maidens.
"The former nine Holy Maidens: Su Qingci, Ye Jinghong, Ling Shuangxue, Su Wanying, Mu Xinglan... Lu Xueqi."
When the name "Lu Xueqi" appeared prominently at the end of the list, Chen Xuan's aura suddenly turned cold.
He recalled the rumors he had heard that "most of the Holy Maidens of Yao Guang were used as furnaces," and he thought of the countless hardships Xue Qi had endured in the Yao Guang Holy Land. His eyes instantly flashed with a terrifying killing intent—that killing intent was so strong that it caused the golden book in his palm to tremble slightly, and tiny cracks appeared on the paper.
Of these nine holy maidens, how many were actually being cultivated as "golden vessels"? Does Xueqi's ranking at the end mean that her situation is more dangerous than the others?
Chen Xuan gripped the golden book tightly, engraving the names of the nine holy sons of the Yao Guang Holy Land in his heart. As for the geniuses of other holy lands, he only glanced at them briefly and did not linger.
When he put away the golden book, his knuckles had turned white from the force, and even his breath was a little cold.
When they stepped out of the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion, it was already late at night.
The night sky above the second cave of the Heartless Holy Land was exceptionally clear, with countless stars like shattered diamonds embedded in the inky sky. Only a crescent moon hung in the sky, casting a cold, clear light that fell on the spiritual herbs on the ground, giving them a faint silver glow.
Two months have passed since he returned to the Second Grotto Heaven after following the True Immortal Lanxing to complete his cultivation path.
In the past two months, Qiu Zixian has been taken into the Immortal Mansion by Lanxing to undergo the inheritance test, and there has been no news of her since, which makes Chen Xuan worry.
He strolled within his own territory and unknowingly wandered into Qiu Zixian's vast domain.
This territory is no longer as barren as it once was—the descendants of the Five Immortals have been cultivating it day and night, and eight thousand miles of spiritual fields have spread along the valley. Every ten steps along the field ridges, there is a spirit-gathering stele with flowing runes that continuously draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the fields.
The Enlightenment Grass in the Spirit Field has just sprouted tender shoots, emitting a faint blue spiritual light. It is clear that it will be ready for official use soon.
"Master, why are you here?"
A clear, crisp sound rang out, and Bai Li, dressed in a white dress stained with mud, flew in from the direction of the spirit field.
She was directing her descendants to set up an irrigation array when she sensed Chen Xuan's presence and immediately rushed over.
At this moment, Bai Li's skirt was still covered with damp mud, and a few strands of grass clung to the ends of her hair. Clearly, in order to speed up the progress, she had used the black dragon's main body to plow the earth again—when the dragon's body, which stretched for hundreds of miles, turned over the land, even the valleys would tremble three times.
Seeing her like this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but reach out and rub her head. His fingertips touched the soft hair, which was a little cool from the earth. "It's nothing. I was just thinking about some things in the manor and felt bored, so I came out for a walk."
Bai Li and Chen Xuan have a master-servant contract, and Bai Li understands his thoughts better than anyone else.
Sensing the heaviness in his voice, Bai Li reached out and hugged his arm, gently comforting him, "Master, we've overcome even the toughest obstacles before. We'll definitely be able to rescue Xiao Xueqi, so don't worry too much."
Chen Xuan felt a warmth in his heart and patted the back of her hand: "Leave the affairs of the spirit fields to the descendants. From now on, you should spend more time on cultivation. Strength is the foundation for survival."
"Yes! Bai Li understands!" Bai Li nodded vigorously. Seeing Chen Xuan's gaze occasionally drifting towards the void, she smiled and urged, "If Master has other matters to attend to, please go ahead and do so. I'll take care of things here!"
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded. As he turned around, his figure transformed into a blur and disappeared into the end of the valley.
