In the Fuliu Star Field of the Northern Wilderness,
The battle between Chen Qingyuan and Wu Junyan had no follow - up, leaving countless people confused.
After some investigations during this period, it was discovered that Wu Junyan had long left the Fuliu Star Field. With no concerns, the prodigies from various forces began to come and provoke.
"Chen Qingyuan, are you afraid to fight?"
"The Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness, is that all?"
"How can a coward like you be qualified to be among the Ten Outstanding?"
Many people started to discuss loudly, and all kinds of unpleasant remarks reached the ears of the high - level members of Xuanqing Sect.
Some disciples of Xuanqing Sect were very angry and wanted to step forward to solve the matter.
However, this behavior was suppressed by the elders: "They are all top - tier figures of the younger generation. You are no match for them."
Although the disciples were furious, it was the truth, and they hated themselves for being so weak.
"Practice hard! One day, you will surpass those guys and stand at a higher position."
With the help of external pressure, the elders inspired the disciples within the sect, making them deeply aware of the importance of strength.
Of course, there were still a few outstanding disciples in Xuanqing Sect, and they were not arranged to go out and fight.
Because it was unnecessary. Those people came for Chen Qingyuan. If the young disciples of Xuanqing Sect couldn't suppress all of them, winning one or two battles would be useless, and going out would only result in shame.
"Chen Qingyuan is not in Xuanqing Sect. Everyone, please leave!"
An elder came out and said.
As for whether the prodigies of various forces would believe it, it was up to them.
"Wu Junyan left suddenly. Maybe Chen Qingyuan has really left. But we were surrounding Xuanqing Sect. When did Chen Qingyuan escape?"
In secret, Yan Qianling pondered this matter. Based on his understanding of Wu Junyan, it was impossible for him to disappear without a word. Something must have changed.
After figuring it out, Yan Qianling left the Fuliu Star Field, preparing to go to a suitable place to cultivate in seclusion and improve his strength.
"Chen Qingyuan, can you hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"
Before leaving, Yan Qianling stared deeply in the direction of Xuanqing Sect and murmured, "One day we will meet, and then I will see what capabilities the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness have."
At the same time, in the Tianyu Sect,
Since the battle between Qin Yutang and Chen Qingyuan, Qin Yutang's Golden Elixir foundation had been destroyed. He was in a daze, completely losing his former high - spiritedness.
"How is it?"
The sect leader Qin Yang asked in a deep voice, looking at the dozen or so doctors in front of him.
"Young Sect Leader's Golden Elixir is shattered, and there are inner demons. We are helpless."
A doctor sighed and stepped forward to say.
"Is there no chance at all?"
Qin Yang had cultivated Qin Yutang for many years. He couldn't accept that Qin Yutang had failed to grow up and was ruined.
"If the Ghost Doctor takes action, there must be a chance for recovery."
All the doctors agreed with this view.
Qin Yang was silent. It was said that the Ghost Doctor had a good relationship with Xuanqing Sect and had even come forward to help Chen Qingyuan last time. If they wanted the Ghost Doctor to help, the hope was slim.
"Damn it!"
Qin Yang dismissed the group of doctors and looked at Qin Yutang, who was lying on the bed in a daze, with anger on his face and cursed in a low voice.
When Qin Yutang went to trouble Chen Qingyuan, Qin Yang didn't stop him because he thought that with Qin Yutang's strength, nothing would go wrong. Who knew the result would be like this?
On the other side, in the Dongyi Palace,
The high - level members of the sect were discussing important matters when suddenly they heard a bell ringing. Everyone stood up and looked in the same direction, with shock in their eyes.
"The bell of Yanxue City."
"Finally, someone from our Dongyi Palace has passed the test of Yanxue City. Is it that girl Xixue?"
"The ringing of the ancient bell means being recognized by the will of the ancestors."
Bai Xixue had been in Yanxue City for a long time. If her soul lamp hadn't been still on, the people in the sect would have thought she was dead long ago.
"Let's go and see!"
The sect leader Du Ruosheng, wearing a long blue dress, traveled a hundred miles in one step, heading straight for the secret realm of Yanxue City.
In Yanxue City, at the end, there stood a black ancient bell.
Bai Xixue, dressed in a white dress, stood there. There was no joy on her face, and her eyes were very complicated, showing shame, regret, pain, and a hint of longing.
During the test, Bai Xixue had actually been in danger several times and found it hard to break free.
With her talent, she was at most excellent, not even reaching the level of an ordinary prodigy.
After cultivating for hundreds of years, Bai Xixue couldn't break through to the Golden Elixir Realm by herself and still needed to rely on pills.
When facing death, a mysterious light emerged from Bai Xixue's body, protecting the foundation of her Dao body and saving her from disaster.
She smelled a familiar scent, which was Chen Qingyuan's Daoist aura.
At that moment, the memories she had forcibly sealed flooded into her mind.
"I left a Dharma Seal in your body, which fits with your body. It will slowly change your physique and also protect you once."
A hundred years ago, Chen Qingyuan said this matter in a calm tone, but it actually cost him a great price.
Another scene appeared in front of Bai Xixue's eyes, which was her conversation with Chen Qingyuan.
"Brother Qingyuan, why won't you help me improve my cultivation?"
"Your talent isn't at an excellent level, and you need to spend more time stabilizing your foundation. Blindly pursuing the speed of breakthrough is not good for the future."
"Brother Qingyuan, you are a top - tier prodigy in the world, and I am an ordinary disciple. Are you really willing to become a Taoist companion with me?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Fate."
At first, Chen Qingyuan only regarded Bai Xixue as a stranger who resembled an old acquaintance.
Later, Bai Xixue fell in love with Chen Qingyuan and followed him closely.
The two gradually became familiar and fell in love.
Not long after, Bai Xixue was accepted as a direct disciple by an inner - sect elder named Yao Susu.
With Bai Xixue's talent, she was not qualified at all.
Yao Susu was willing to accept her as a disciple entirely because of Chen Qingyuan.
"Xixue, I may be going to a dangerous place, and I don't know if I can come back alive."
"Do you have to go?"
"Yes, I must go."
"I'll wait for you to come back."
"If I die accidentally, you must live well."
"Don't talk nonsense. No matter what happens, I will wait for you. A thousand years, ten thousand years, until old age and death."
A hundred years ago, when Chen Qingyuan was about to go to the Abyss, he met Bai Xixue.
"When I come back, we will officially get married. If I don't come back, you can find a good match and live well."
Chen Qingyuan was drawn by an inexplicable force and had to go to the Abyss.
Since they weren't Taoist companions, they naturally didn't share a room.
When Chen Qingyuan was with Bai Xixue, he often used spiritual herbs to lay the foundation for her, forcibly raising her talent by several levels.
"If you die, I will guard your tomb and never leave."
At that time, Bai Xixue said with red eyes.
However, when truly facing the test, Bai Xixue broke her promise.
After Chen Qingyuan returned, he didn't blame her. It was understandable, but unforgivable.
This relationship was doomed to be ill - fated.
"Everything I have is given by him."
Looking back at the dangerous test, Bai Xixue's eyes were teary, and her heart ached.
That year, when the news of Chen Qingyuan's death came, she was heartbroken.
Her teacher Yao Susu couldn't bear to see her in such pain, so she forcibly sealed part of her past memories, and then she gradually recovered.
Only with a solid foundation can one be qualified to strive for higher realms and see more beautiful scenery.
It was only now that Bai Xixue understood the meaning of this sentence.
If it weren't for Chen Qingyuan's help, Bai Xixue's foundation would definitely have many flaws, and she couldn't have passed this test.
"Xixue, you really succeeded!"
At this time, the high - level members of Dongyi Palace arrived.
Looking at Bai Xixue with tear - filled eyes, everyone was puzzled, but their faces still showed uncontrollable joy. Especially her master, Yao Susu.
"According to the ancestral system, the person who passes the test of Yanxue City is the saintess of our Dongyi Palace!"
Yao Susu was very excited. When Bai Xixue became a saintess, as her master, she would also have face, and her status would surely rise.
"Sect leader, master, I don't deserve to be this saintess."
Looking at the high - level members, Bai Xixue recognized her own ability and smiled self - mockingly.
"What?"
