The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

Qingyang Mountain was deathly silent.

Only the illusory image of the great formation stood in the air, flickering constantly, emanating a chilling aura, and no one dared to approach it even slightly.

"Sir... what brings you here?"

Still bewildered, Wang Baole scratched the back of his head and asked in a naive tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Don't you know why we came here?

Chen Xuan also rubbed his forehead, "You little brat, the good fortune you got into almost cost you your life. If I hadn't come, you would have been refined into a human treasure by the people of the Luoxia Sect."

Wang Baole, usually oblivious to everything, seemed to only then realize what was happening, and angrily exclaimed, "Snake Princess and I were in love! The people of the Falling Cloud Sect are despicable! Not only did they kill her, but they also kidnapped me!"

"Stop trying to get away with this. It's good that nothing happened."

"I'm back. If I don't get eight hours of sleep tonight, I'll have to sleep in tomorrow."

Chen Xuan glanced at him, made sure he was alright, then took the demon core and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Ye Li quickly caught up and bowed, asking, "Sir, what should we do with this great formation?"

Chen Xuan waved his hand without turning his head, "The great formation is naturally formed by the mountains and rivers, so there's no need to move it or pay attention to it. It will protect this place on its own."

"Yes, I understand."

Ye Li paused slightly, her expression filled with shock. As a true disciple of the Jade Purity Sword Ruins, she naturally had some understanding of formations.

But she had never seen such a large formation before.

Without spending a single spirit stone or using a single magic artifact, such a terrifying array could be set up simply by utilizing the earth's veins and mountains... It's unheard of!

What level has Chen Xuan reached in his array formation cultivation?

After Chen Xuan left, everyone surrounded Wang Baole, and then let out a gasp of jealousy that seemed to tear the very fabric of their being apart.

"You...you...you beast!"

"Wang Baole, how did you get to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?!"

"You beast! You're absolutely beastly! How can you play like this?!"

.......

The group of Lingxiao personnel pointed at Wang Baole, their bodies trembling and their faces contorted with envy.

You should know that in Qingzhou City right now, there are no more than ten people who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

This guy has only been with Lingxiao for two months at most, so how did he go from being completely clueless to a mortal, and then inexplicably reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?!

"A hen!"

Wang Baole shrugged helplessly, "You've been cultivating for so many years, you should really look for the reasons in yourselves. Have your cultivation levels increased over all these years? Have you been cultivating seriously?"

Everyone: ......

If they weren't already outmatched by this guy, they would definitely swarm him and punch him a few times first.

How can you be so sarcastic!

Ye Li was also speechless. Since she started cultivating, she had been working tirelessly day and night, yet this guy had caught up with her in such a short time. She was really frustrated.

This fat man always manages to escape danger and always manages to make a fortune. He is blessed with good luck and great fortune.

Could it be... that despite his seemingly foolish and simple-minded appearance, he is actually wise beyond his years, and that he performed great deeds in his past life, thus gaining the favor of heaven and earth?

"Ye Li, what's the current situation in Qingyang City?"

An Changmin's communication was constantly connected and ringing.

Ye Li looked at the destroyed Luo Xia Sect and said softly, "Prefect, you and I are fortunate to have witnessed the destruction of an immortal sect, leaving not a single one alive."

"hiss--"

A collective gasp followed.

This is a celestial sect, a sect for cultivating immortality, and it's just gone like that?

According to the assessment, the Luoxia Sect could be ranked among the top sects. Yet, it was easily destroyed by Chen Xuan.

This is absolutely terrifying!

"Ye Li, I just received some amazing news."

At this moment, An Changmin spoke with great enthusiasm.

"What news?"

Ye Li was slightly surprised. What news could possibly be better than the destruction of the Luo Xia Sect?

"Southern Frontier, Demon Race, annihilated!"

"The Empress, Wu Minghuang, has completely suppressed the Southern Frontier, eliminating the demonic threat once more!"

An Changmin's voice was filled with excitement.

This was because he happened to be on his way to the capital to report on the affairs of Qingzhou, and that's how he found out so quickly!

Ye Li's expression froze for a moment, then an unparalleled brilliance appeared in her eyes.

What is most exciting and what is most glorious for an ambitious person?

Of course, it's to expand the territory of China!

This is an imprint etched into the blood of the Chinese people; everyone has it, and it has never disappeared.

Furthermore, if you continue to think about it, a higher level of meaning emerges.

Ye Li exclaimed excitedly, "Does that mean we now have the confidence to negotiate with those immortal sects?"

"That's right!"

An Changmin nodded emphatically.

"With Empress Wu Minghuang making her move from the Southern Frontier, we don't need to be so cautious. With her combat power comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, she is capable of negotiating with those ancient sects."

"This is wonderful!"

"Truly worthy of being called the Empress, she suppressed the Southern Frontier so quickly."

Even the usually aloof Ye Li couldn't help but quicken her pace, her heart pounding with excitement.

To be honest, Lingxiao placed the most hope on his master when it came to negotiating with the ancient sects. As long as his master came out of seclusion, he would have leverage to cooperate with those people.

It's a pity that Master hasn't come out of seclusion yet, which is why this matter has been delayed again and again.

Fortunately, Empress Wu Minghuang was the first to complete the battle, which was an unexpected bonus.

........

It was already midnight when we returned to the Taoist temple.

They discovered that Lu Yao hadn't fallen asleep; a pile of sorted old things lay on the floor, and she was staring at them in a daze.

"Why aren't you asleep so late? What's going on?"

Chen Xuan walked in from outside the door and said jokingly.

"Senior brother, have you finished your business?"

Lu Yao snapped out of her daze and immediately smiled.

Chen Xuan nodded: "Yes, it's nothing."

Lu Yao smiled happily, "I thought you weren't coming back tonight and were going to stay out."

As Chen Xuan washed up, he said, "I'm not used to living outside. I have to come back to sleep no matter what."

Lu Yao smiled even more broadly, her bright eyes crinkling.

"What's wrong? Feeling something?"

Chen Xuan said meaningfully.

Lu Yao said in a low voice, "Yes, I'm afraid that you, like Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, will never come back after you leave."

Chen Xuan's gaze paused for a moment, then fell on the miscellaneous items.

Lu Yao: "These are the belongings of my eldest brother and second sister. They've disappeared without a trace, and I don't know what to do with them."

Chen Xuan asked, "It's lost."

Lu Yao: "Huh? It's just gone like that?"

Chen Xuan said seriously, "Yes, it's lost."

At the most difficult time for the Taoist temple, when Lu Yao and the others were at a loss, and when the two of them were still able to divide up the property and leave without a care, they should no longer be worth remembering.

"Okay, I'll throw it away right now."

Lu Yao nodded and no longer hesitated.

To this day, she still remembers the moment her senior brother left, taking most of the temple's valuables without a trace of regret.

He doesn't even miss us.

Why should we still be attached to him?
