Chapter 1660
"So the Ten Holy Lands established the position of Holy Maiden in order to cultivate top-notch vessels for their Holy Sons, so that they could use them at crucial moments to break through the shackles of the Great Dao... Hmph, just as I thought. Even in this great universe of cultivation, there is still oppression of female disciples."
Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, Lin Yuyao retorted, "That's not entirely true. Although the Ten Holy Lands have been corrupted for half an era and have gradually beautified and embellished their Holy Maidens, there is one Holy Land that has never established the position of Holy Maiden from beginning to end."
"Oh? Rising from the mud unsullied, that's interesting." Chen Xuan became interested. "Tell me, which holy land is it?"
Lin Yuqiong nodded and said, "It is the Heartless Holy Land, which we met once on the Ancient Road of the Immortal Realm. They have always been arrogant, and therefore they have been suppressed by the other nine holy lands. In the outer realm, the disciples and holy sons of the Heartless Holy Land are generally not as strong as the holy sons and holy daughters of other holy lands."
Lin Yuqiong continued to shake her head, "But I actually admire them very much. It is said that too many talented girls without a background eventually perish in the fate of becoming 'furnaces'. Their life and death, however, have created countless invincible holy sons of their generation. In fact, some holy sons in previous generations have even broken through the shackles and become powerful beings at the level of Immortal King and God King."
He paused, then added, "However, throughout the endless years, there have been saintesses who were unwilling to accept their fate and wanted to break free from their shackles. The 'witch' Xia Jiuyou was one of them."
"Xia Jiuyou?" Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat as he recalled the name Bai Qianhuan had mentioned. He couldn't help but be curious about this extraordinary woman, whom Bai Qianhuan had described as "a combination of demon and immortal," and wanted to see for himself.
Chen Xuan then inquired about some of the unspoken rules of the Ten Great Holy Lands, and after listening, he gained a clearer understanding of these "high and mighty" holy lands.
On the surface, it is a sacred place for cultivators, but in the shadows, it harbors a lot of filth.
"So, Lu Xueqi, who was guided to the Yao Guang Holy Land and became the Ninth Holy Maiden, is both pitiful and lamentable," Lin Yuqiong suddenly sighed.
"Lu Xueqi... Lu, Lu Xueqi?!!"
"You mean, her name is Lu Xueqi?!"
Chen Xuan's previously relaxed expression instantly turned ashen, and the killing intent in his eyes was palpable.
He slammed his hand on the long table in front of him, and with a loud "bang," the table instantly turned to dust, scattering wine and spiritual fruits everywhere. Three streams of immortal energy suddenly appeared around him, bursting forth with killing intent, and his aura surged wildly.
"Say it again, what is the name of this newly promoted ninth Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land?" he shouted, his voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air.
The unexpected situation came out of nowhere. Lin Yuqiong, Lin Yuyao, and Gu Ying were all stunned by Chen Xuan's reaction. They didn't know what had happened and could only stare blankly at his almost out-of-control appearance.
"Three...three strands of transcendent immortal energy? How is that possible?" Lin Yuyao's almond-shaped lips parted slightly as she stared wide-eyed at the three strands of immortal energy—green, red, and gold—surrounding Chen Xuan, her expression filled with disbelief.
Lin Yuqiong was also secretly shocked—Chen Xuan was actually able to cultivate three strands of transcendent immortal energy in just thirty or forty years? This talent was truly astonishing.
The killing intent emanating from Chen Xuan was like Mount Tai pressing down, and Lin Yuqiong instantly felt the threat of death. Her voice trembled as she said, "If the information is correct, she should have joined the Yao Guang Holy Land within the last thirty years. Her name is indeed Lu Xueqi, and her Daoist name recently spread is Bei Mingxue."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's fingers flew across the screen, forming a divination incantation. He then staggered and collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with a murderous intent that almost materialized: "It's her... It really is her!"
"Holy Maiden! The newly appointed Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land! A furnace cauldron with no background! Yaoguang Holy Land—!" He sat on the ground, each word almost squeezed out between his teeth, filled with boundless rage.
Lin Yuqiong and the others rushed forward to help him up, and asked solemnly, "Who exactly is this Lu Xueqi?"
Chen Xuan suddenly looked up at Lin Yuqiong and roared, "My wife! That's my wife!"
Lin Yuqiong and Lin Yuyao didn't realize it at first—in this world, the terms for husband and wife are mostly "Niangzi" and "Fujun," and there is no such thing as "Xifu" (wife).
