Chapter 2017
Qiu Zixian looked at Chen Xuan and whispered, "If we are too far apart after entering the Void, you don't need to rush to find me. Although I am not as good as Xia Jiuyou, I am not someone that anyone can easily defeat in the Void Reversal Realm."
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then took out a storage ring and handed it over: "Inside are some techniques that I personally crafted. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis, no matter who your opponent is, just use them."
Qiu Zixian took the ring and probed it with her magic power. Her pupils suddenly dilated as she looked at Chen Xuan in shock: "These talismans and formations... you crafted them all yourself?"
Chen Xuan smiled but did not answer, while Yu'er, who was standing to the side, laughed and said, "Of course! Our husband has already thoroughly understood the Great Dao of Array Formation and the Great Dao of Talismans."
"You...you are truly a monster!" Qiu Zixian gasped, she knew all too well what it meant to be proficient in both arrays and talismans. "With such a trump card, how come you didn't reveal it at all during the previous battle?"
Chen Xuan glanced at his fellow Daoists and said calmly, "The methods we haven't revealed are our true trump cards. In the previous battle, we were already able to sweep our opponents away with our current strength. If we had used the Dao of Formations and Talismans, we would have only been prematurely exposing our trump cards."
Upon hearing this, the Daoist companions all nodded solemnly: "We have learned a great deal."
Meanwhile, similar scenes were unfolding on the warships of the other seven holy lands—the Holy Lord was appointing the spots, and the disciples were either happy or worried. Those who were selected seized the time to adjust their breathing, while those who were not selected secretly rejoiced or felt regret.
Above the warship of the Yao Guang Holy Land, the Yao Guang Holy Lord looked at Lu Xueqi with a hint of surprise in his voice: "Although you are injured, if you take the pills I bestow upon you, you may still be able to enter the Ruins to seek opportunities. Why give up?"
Lu Xueqi smiled faintly: "Master, during the trip to the Devouring Demon Star Ruins, someone will naturally find opportunities for me. Why not give this spot to another junior brother or sister?"
The conversation between the master and disciple fell on the deck, causing an uproar among Lu Jinxiao, Mo Xingyan, and other holy sons and daughters—no one expected that Lu Xueqi would voluntarily give up this hard-won spot, knowing that the Yao Guang Holy Land only had three spots this time.
“In that case,” the Holy Lord of Yaoguang turned to the deck below and said loudly, “Mo Xingyan, Lu Jinxiao, and Su Qingci, the three of you will come with me to prepare. In three days, you will represent the Yaoguang Holy Land to enter the Ruins for training.”
The three were both surprised and delighted, and quickly bowed, saying, "Yes!"
The Holy Lord Yaoguang nodded slightly, and when he looked at Lu Xueqi again, his tone softened: "The Star Ruins entrance will open in three days. I will take you back to the sect first to help you rebuild your foundation of the Great Dao."
"Thank you, Master." Lu Xueqi bowed respectfully.
"Three days is still early, so you may act freely for now." The Holy Lord of Yaoguang earnestly instructed, "In the future, you will be the number one among the younger generation of Yaoguang, and you will eventually take over the Holy Land. Remember, maintaining the bonds between fellow disciples is of utmost importance—even a hero needs three helpers."
"Disciple will remember Master's teachings," Lu Xueqi replied with her head bowed, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
A hint of approval flashed in the eyes of the Holy Lord Yaoguang, and he nodded slightly.
Lu Xueqi understood, and with a slight wisp of pale silver spiritual energy around her, she descended like a feather onto the deck of the warship below.
None of the disciples who could enter the Holy Land for cultivation were foolish. Upon seeing Lu Xueqi, the sect leader's personal disciple, arrive, the holy sons and daughters, including Mo Xingyan, Lu Jinxiao, Su Qingci, and Ye Jinghong, immediately composed themselves, bowed in unison, and said respectfully, "We pay our respects to Senior Sister Xueqi!"
Lu Xueqi's expression was aloof, yet without a trace of arrogance. She nodded slightly to the crowd, exchanged a few brief pleasantries, and then walked straight toward Yun Xiao'er under the gazes of dozens of people, some with awe and others with curiosity.
Back in the sect, she was like a jade vase, detached from worldly affairs. But now, the aura emanating from her subtly overshadowed the former First Holy Son Xiao Xuanche's intimidation of his peers—it was a composure and sharpness that had been tempered and refined, far beyond what she had shown in the past.
"Senior Sister Xueqi!" Yun Xiao'er quickly stepped forward, looking her up and down with amazement in her eyes. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed that you said those powerful words just now!"
