Chapter 1891
Two streaks of light pierced the twilight of the Eternal Cave of Sword Dao. The dark outline of the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion and the purple mist halo of the Nine Nether Immortal Mansion slowly descended and landed steadily on the plain surrounded by nine mountain ranges.
The moment the immortal abode landed, a slight tremor came from the ground beneath the plain, and pale blue spiritual energy surged in like a tide, swirling around the immortal abode as if it had merged with this world.
Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the two immortal mansions take root firmly.
Qiu Zixian, standing beside him, had slightly moist eyes. She gripped Chen Xuan's hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, and her voice was tinged with emotion:
“Before, when I was being hunted down by Xia Jiuyou, I could only hide in the abandoned mine shafts of the Immortal Ancient Divine Mine to build my nest. Every time I went out to find resources, I had to be prepared for a near-death experience. I never thought that one day I could have my own immortal abode and territory in the Holy Land.”
Chen Xuan took her hand in his, the warmth of his palm passing over her, and said gently, "The suffering of the past was all for the sake of the peace we have now. Don't think about the past anymore. With me and this grotto-heaven with you, our path will only become wider and wider."
Qiu Zixian looked up at him, her purple eyes reflecting the halo of the immortal palace, full of dependence: "If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would have died long ago if you had returned to me last time. Chen Xuan, thank you."
“Silly girl, we are Daoist partners, and we should protect each other.” Chen Xuan gently embraced her, resting his chin on the top of her head, feeling her slightly cool body temperature. “You must hurry up and cultivate the Soul Tower secret technique that I passed on to you last time. With this secret technique protecting your soul, it won’t be so easy for Xia Jiuyou to use her Primordial Secret Technique to take over your body again.”
Qiu Zixian lifted her head from his embrace, a hint of determination in her eyes: "I know, I'll go cultivate now." She tiptoed, gently kissed Chen Xuan's cheek, turned and transformed into a purple shadow, drifting into the Nine Nether Immortal Palace.
The gates of the immortal abode slowly closed, and amidst the swirling purple mist, the spiritual light of cultivation emanating from within could be faintly seen.
"By the way," Chen Xuan suddenly spoke, looking in the direction of the Nine Nether Immortal Mansion, "Shang Yu and Bai Lingfei invited me to Luoxia Valley to discuss the Dao. I want to explore some secrets of this sacred place. Do you want to come along?"
Qiu Zixian's gentle voice, tinged with amusement, came from behind the gate of the Immortal Abode: "You can go now. I want to use this time to solidify my divine soul technique. When you return, I'll tell you about the Holy Land."
"Alright." Chen Xuan replied, turning and walking into the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion. With a thought, a pale white halo flashed, and Bai Li's figure instantly appeared before him—the little girl was wearing a white dress and had her hair in two buns. Upon seeing Chen Xuan, her eyes lit up instantly: "Master! This is... You've successfully entered the Heartless Holy Land?"
"Hmm," Chen Xuan rubbed her head and nodded with a smile, "This is the Eternal Sword Dao Grotto, the residence of the direct disciples. I have selected two territories, each spanning tens of thousands of miles, one for me and one for Zixian. You will be responsible for managing the spiritual fields within these two territories."
Bai Li followed Chen Xuan out of the immortal mansion. As soon as they stepped onto the plain, they were shocked by the dense spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was so dense that it was like a tangible fog. When it touched the skin, one could clearly feel the spiritual power within the body stirring.
On the distant hillside, patches of spiritual herbs shimmered with a faint light, and even the soil was imbued with a subtle spiritual aura.
She took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim, "The spiritual energy here is ten times denser than the spiritual veins in the Northern Underworld Immortal Palace!"
“The sect has rules,” Chen Xuan said, pointing to the distant mountains, his tone admonishing, “the total area of the spirit fields, herb gardens, and orchards in each territory cannot exceed five thousand li, and the total area of the two territories cannot exceed ten thousand li. You must lead the descendants of the Five Immortals to cultivate the spirit fields, plant the spirit herb seeds we brought, and take care of the native spirit plants in the territories.”
Bai Li nodded vigorously, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes filled with excitement:
"Don't worry, Master! I've learned a lot about spiritual plant cultivation from you over the years, so I'm sure I can manage the spiritual fields well! Besides, I'm already at the late-stage Perfection of the Void Reversal Realm, so I'll take this opportunity to manage the territory while accumulating resources to break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm!"
