Chapter 1466
"Yes, this kid is quite a troublemaker..." Then Tianhu'er recounted to His Majesty his personal visit to the Wanbaoshan Auction last night, how Chen Xuan confronted Nalan Qingtian, and the cause and details of their feud.
After the explanation, His Majesty didn't pay much attention to the rest, but there was one thing that really bothered him.
That is, when he learned that Qing Tian had smashed the dragon-fish demon into a bloody mist with a single palm strike, Chen Xuan, as the master, actually remained extremely calm.
After ten years of planning, they were just one step away from reuniting as master and disciple when this sudden change occurred. Yet, he did not go mad. His Daoist resolve was so admirable that even His Majesty was moved.
"Master, do you think the thief who stole the Divine Mine Continent might be Chen Xuan?" Tianhu asked when her master remained silent.
"No, rather than suspecting that Chen Xuan is a thief, it is more accurate to say that he is the mastermind behind the immortal-level array that can isolate us. Afterwards, in order to set up a smokescreen to deceive us, he deliberately scattered the trillions of divine mineral source stones he had looted in various places."
His Majesty's eyes sharpened as he continued, "Or perhaps, this Chen Xuan is the direct beneficiary of the theft from the Divine Mine Continent..."
This is an analysis based on absolute rationality.
Even His Majesty did not immediately suspect that Chen Xuan was the real murderer, because according to common sense, it was impossible.
He only broke through to become a Nascent Soul within ten years, and the theft of the divine mine happened five years ago. That is to say, at that time, Chen Xuan was either in seclusion breaking through or had just broken through.
Furthermore, the highest level a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator can refine is Heaven-Rank magic treasures. If it were a Void Reversal Realm cultivator, there would be serious reasons for doubt, because the Void Reversal Realm cultivators can refine Immortal-Rank magic treasures.
Some celestial-grade artifacts can indeed isolate the spirit of a celestial-grade array for a short period of time.
"But according to what you said, Chen Xuan and the Nalan clan were completely at odds last night at Wanbao Mountain. Then, combined with the incident on the Divine Mine Continent, the Nalan clan's army of 30,000 cultivators was completely wiped out..."
His Majesty frowned and pondered before summarizing, "The person behind it all is either an elder of Chen Xuan's tribe or someone with whom he has a very close relationship; it is very likely his master, Immortal Qiandao."
"Yes, why not go out to the outer regions for training instead of rushing to do it before the Divine Mine Continent is robbed and the Immortal Destiny Conference begins?" After His Majesty's analysis, Tianhu'er was also enlightened and surprised.
Wanbaoshan focuses on collecting information from the three thousand prefectures. With just a Daoist title, one can immediately obtain information about the thousand immortals.
"Then Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Tianhu'er hesitated. "Should we capture Chen Xuan and interrogate him directly? But if that happens, and the news gets out, the three thousand lords will think that Your Majesty is going to avenge the Nalan clan and punish Chen Xuan in a special way."
Tianhu'er shook her head and said, "But Master, any decision you make will cause the three thousand lords to speculate, which will make the Nalan clan even more arrogant."
Hearing this, Xuan Xiaomo shook his head and said, "The cause and effect have already been formed. Even if there is an interrogation, it will have to wait until the Immortal Destiny Conference ends. Moreover, Nine Dragons City has already reached a consensus that the Immortal Destiny Conference, which has been mixed in with my Xuanxiao World, will not be allowed to proceed..."
"The major resource losses are already due to the involvement of the two prodigies of Kowloon City, so there's no need to create trouble at this critical juncture." In the end, Xuan Xiaomo also gave up the idea of immediately capturing and interrogating Chen Xuan.
He only hoped that in the Xuanxiao Great World, a younger generation could defy fate and win first place in the Immortal Destiny Tournament, despite the suppression from Kowloon City.
If he were to reveal his family's wealth accumulated over tens of thousands of years at the Immortal Destiny Conference, and the two prodigies of Kowloon City were to take advantage of him, he would be devastated.
“Master is wise. My idea is also to leave Chen Xuan alone for now and wait until after the Immortal Fate Conference.” Seeing that her master’s face was a little pale, Tianhu’er gently massaged his shoulders. She could not control the suppression and intervention of Nine Dragons City, and she could only try her best to share her master’s worries.
Little did anyone know that it was precisely because of the choice made tonight—that Chen Xuan was not captured and interrogated—that Xuan Xiaomo, within a short span of a thousand years, completely achieved his lifelong pursuit, breaking free from the control and suppression of Kowloon City and becoming a sovereign Star Lord.
As the sun rises in the east, a ray of morning light shines on the mansions of the princes and nobles in the imperial capital.
Chen Xuan returned to the real world early and then went to the headquarters of various sects. As expected, he learned that his five Daoist partners were all in seclusion. Of course, Chen Xuan himself also easily met the representative immortals of the various sects.
After Chen Xuan took out the three terrifying Dao talismans, the immortals all changed color, because any one of the three Dao talismans posed a life-threatening danger to them.
"Young friend, what is this?" Zen Joy Immortal looked at the three Dao talismans in his hand and asked Chen Xuan in shock.
"I am about to go into seclusion to break through to the next level. These are life-saving talismans I prepared for Xin'er. I hope you will give them to her personally when she comes out of seclusion," Chen Xuan replied with a smile.
Upon hearing these words, Zen Joy Immortal and Heart Control Immortal exchanged a glance, both seeing a surge of turmoil in each other's eyes.
After a few brief words, Chen Xuan left.
After sending out the Dao talismans one by one, Chen Xuan returned directly to the Immortal Abode World and immediately began preparations for his seclusion.
Of course, since Chen Xuan did not know how long the Immortal Fate Assembly would last from beginning to end, he had not yet begun in-depth cultivation.
Instead, Bai Li was sent back to the real world to stay by the side of the second primordial spirit and wait for the competition and rules of the Immortal Destiny Tournament.
"Master, I'll head back now. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news," Bai Li said reluctantly, before Chen Xuan sent her out of the Immortal Abode World.
"Next time you come in, you'll be able to play with Linglong." Chen Xuan turned to look at the three-colored cocoon floating in the air. After a day and a night of nurturing, the disciple's strong and vibrant heartbeat could now be heard inside the cocoon.
The transformation and rebirth will only take two more days.
The next morning, before dawn.
At the temporary residences of the various princes and kings in the capital, people were already bustling about, lined up in an orderly fashion, preparing to enter the venue for the Immortal Destiny Conference.
Rows of bright red flags fluttered in the wind.
The first flag in the list is naturally the flag of Prince Xuanxiao, which features the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird totem, and the flag of the God-Slaying Guard branch. Next are the totem flags of the vassal kings and their tribes, followed by the flags of the sects and tribes under their jurisdiction that are participating in the Immortal Destiny Conference.
Among the three thousand feudal lords, Qingtian County ranked last in terms of both land area and resources.
The saying goes, "You can only eat as much as you can eat from a big pot." Resources are limited and cannot support the cultivation of many top sect geniuses.
Even so, with the addition of several hundred young geniuses from Qingtian County and the Qingtian Clan, along with one hundred Yuan Shen Realm Slaughtering Guards from the Qingtian County Slaughtering Guards, and disciples from third-tier sects such as the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace, the Heaven and Earth Supreme Purity Palace, the Dragon Hunting Clan, the Tianxuan Clan, and the Four Great Academies, a team of a thousand people was assembled.
