Chapter 1894
The Jade Hand Seal at the tip of the Star-Gazing Immortal's fingertip twitched slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes, but he did not speak, only gesturing for the man in green to continue.
The battle within the light screen was incredibly fast; in just three breaths, Qiu Zixian swept aside the three with her Illusory Sound Demonic Path.
Jue Wuqing's expression gradually darkened. He tapped the armrest of the cloud bed lightly with his fingers, and his tone was somewhat solemn: "Cultivating the three paths of demons, she truly lives up to her reputation. This 'Demon Immortal' Xia Jiuyou has great ambitions—if she is allowed to transcend tribulations and become an immortal through the paths of immortals and demons, she may eventually reach the Dao Lord level or even achieve eternal unity with the Dao, and become a powerful figure in her own right."
"Master," the man in green robes quickly added when he saw that Jue Wuqing's expression was not good, "This time, in addition to Qiu Zixian, there is another even more amazing genius among the disciples!"
"Even more amazing?" Jue Wuqing raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of disdain—in his view, there were very few young cultivators in the entire realm who could rival Xia Jiuyou, so how amazing could a new disciple be?
The Star-Gazing Immortal slightly raised his eyes and looked at the man in green, a hint of barely perceptible expectation flashing in his eyes.
The man in the green robe blushed and hurriedly threw out another water ball: "Sect Master, take a look! This is Chen Xuan's combat record!"
The light screen lit up again—Chen Xuan, dressed in black with white hair, stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his tone indifferent: "Senior Qing Shanzi, I do not wish to be a personal disciple; I wish to become the Holy Son of the Heartless Holy Land. May I directly challenge the Holy Son?"
"This junior is quite arrogant!" Jue Wuqing smiled upon hearing this, lightly patting the armrest of the cloud bed. Purple-gold spiritual light overflowed from his palm, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker. "A newly recruited disciple dares to presume to challenge the Holy Son? It's one thing for Xia Jiuyou to come here, but this junior dares to disregard my personal disciple, Jue Qing?"
He was vaguely angry, and the pressure from his fingertips unconsciously made the man in the green robe shiver.
Just then, the Star-Gazing Immortal chuckled softly, his tone tinged with a hint of satisfaction: "Good lad, after more than a hundred years, you have actually managed to traverse the endless star fields and reach the Realm of Heartbreak."
His voice wasn't loud, but it made Jue Wuqing pause in his rage and look at him with suspicion.
The battle within the light screen continued—the three Void Inquiry Masters unleashed their killing moves: Void Prison, One Sword with Ten Thousand Shadows, and God-Slaying Finger descended simultaneously with astonishing force.
However, Chen Xuan did not use his divine body phenomenon or summon his immortal weapon. He simply made a sword finger with his right hand, and his figure moved like a ghost between the killing moves. His Qiankun Shifting steps were so fast that they left afterimages.
He raised his hand and flicked it lightly, shattering the God-Slaying Finger; he dodged to the side, avoiding the void rift; with one last step, he stepped close to the three of them, and a pale golden sword light flashed like a meteor, instantly piercing through their waists and abdomens, their robes stained with blood.
"What?!" Jue Wuqing abruptly stood up, his black robes billowing without wind, his eyes filled with shock and rage. "Three against one! They were easily approached, and then all three were pierced through with a single sword strike! Are these three idiots three pigs?!"
He paced back and forth in the hall, his voice filled with barely concealed frustration: "We could say that Xia Jiuyou's defeat in the last match was due to his long-established reputation and superior talent; but this Chen Xuan... an unknown nobody, used the simplest move and the most cunning timing to defeat three people in one move! They didn't even have a basic formation, standing on the same line, were they waiting to be wiped out in one fell swoop?!"
Looking at the furious Jue Wuqing, the Star-Gazing Immortal shook his head helplessly: "Sect Master, please calm down. In recent years, the sect's ranking has declined, and the overall strength of the Void Realm disciples is not as good as other holy lands. It is fortunate for the sect to encounter a genius like Chen Xuan this time."
The man in the green robe lowered his head, not daring to breathe, until Jue Wuqing's anger subsided slightly before he cautiously spoke: "Sect Master... this disciple has something else to report, perhaps... perhaps it will surprise you even more."
Ruthless rubbed his temples, waved his hand, and said wearily, "Speak, I want to see what other bad news you have."
"Yes." The man in the green robe took a deep breath, his voice tinged with trepidation. "This time, the Void Reversal Realm has accepted fourteen core disciples and four personal disciples. Among them, the personal disciple Qiu Zixian, and the core disciples Qing Tianyu'er, Piaoxue, Lin Yuyao, Zhanxin, Zimo, Tianxing... are all Chen Xuan's Daoist partners."
“Hmm, fourteen core members and four direct disciples, that’s not bad…” Jue Wuqing was about to say “Not bad” when he suddenly stopped, turned sharply to look at the man in the green robe, his eyes wide open, “What did you say?!”
The Jade Incantation at the fingertips of the Star-Gazing Immortal also stopped. The indifference in his eyes finally crumbled, and his eyebrows rose slightly. Although he knew Chen Xuan's background, he did not expect that he would bring seven Daoist partners to become his disciples, and that all of them would pass the test.
"This disciple dares not deceive the sect master." The man in the green robe hurriedly took out a jade slip with a faint blue halo from his storage ring and handed it over. "This is information that this disciple bought from the Void Heaven Pavilion. It clearly records that, apart from Qiu Zixian, the other six are all Chen Xuan's Daoist partners, and they have accompanied him across the star field all the way. Their combat strength is quite good."
Jue Wuqing took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression changed from shock to disbelief.
He then handed the jade slip to the Star-Gazing Immortal. The two exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes—a cultivator at the Void Reversal Realm who not only possessed extraordinary talent but also brought seven Daoist companions to join the Holy Land, with all of them becoming core members or personal disciples. Such a thing had never happened before in the thousand-year history of the Heartless Holy Land!
Silence fell over the hall, with only the occasional crackling of the candlelight reflecting the different expressions on the three men's faces—Jue Wuqing's face was filled with shock, Lanxing Zhenxian's eyes held a hint of relief, while Qing Shanzi remained standing with his hands at his sides, awaiting the decision of the higher-ups.
