Chapter 663: The Fall of the Golden Bird Fairy, the Choice

"Brother, you are not mistaken, I have really advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Chen Xuan smiled brilliantly.

As he spoke, Chen Xuan bowed respectfully to Master Zimang.

"Thank you, senior brother, for your care over the years. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage so quickly." Chen Xuan said.

Master Zimang quickly turned aside, not daring to accept Chen Xuan's gift.

"Junior brother, why are you saying this? Besides, as a cultivator of my Yuling Sect, it is our sect's obligation to help you improve your cultivation."

"However, your successful advancement to the Nascent Soul stage this time is a great thing for our Yuling Sect."

Master Zimang looked at Chen Xuan carefully.

Seeing that the spiritual power in Chen Xuan's body was very powerful.

It was not like when he had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and he was extremely surprised.

"Junior brother, if I didn't know that you were still in the Jindan stage not long ago, I'm afraid even I wouldn't believe that you have advanced to the Yuanying stage so quickly and your strength is so strong."

“If we only look at the strength of your spiritual power, no one would believe that you advanced to the Nascent Soul stage a hundred years ago!”

Chen Xuan knew that Master Zimang's words were not compliments.

The art of controlling spirits that he practiced made the spiritual power in his dantian far more powerful than that of other immortal cultivators at the same level.

Now that Chen Xuan has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, his spiritual power is naturally stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level.

No wonder Master Zimang said this when he saw Chen Xuan.

"Brother, you are too kind. I really just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago!"

Chen Xuan explained with a chuckle.

He glanced around and saw that among the Jindan stage experts he was familiar with, several of them were not here.

This made Chen Xuan frown slightly.

When Master Zimang saw this, he instantly understood Chen Xuan’s thoughts.

"Junior brother, you also personally participated in the last battle of the Seven Kingdoms City. In the last battle, our Yuling Sect also lost a lot of Jindan stage strongmen."

"Junior Brothers Lan Die and Qing Mantis also died in the last battle of the Seven Kingdoms City. In addition..."

Having said this, Master Zimang's expression became very solemn.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he felt a sense of emotion.

True Man Qing Mantis and Fairy Blue Butterfly both have close relationships with him.

Unexpectedly, they all died in the last battle.

In addition to these people, there were also many powerful Jindan stage masters from the Yuling Sect who were not very familiar to Chen Xuan, and they also died in the battle in Qiguo City.

This has caused great damage to the current Yuling Sect.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

Otherwise, the reputation of Yuling Sect among the seven major sects of immortal cultivators in Linhe Prefecture would be somewhat empty.

"I never thought that these old friends would also pass away. I was not able to see them for the last time, which was really a pity."

"Wait a minute, I will go to the Hall of Merit to pay tribute to them."

Chen Xuan nodded with a gloomy expression.

Soon, he looked at Master Zimang and said, "Brother, what else did you want to say?"

“Junior brother, I want to tell you that Fairy Goldfinch also died in the last battle.” said Master Zimang.

Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly.

Goldfinch Fairy!

This is Zhu Long’s biological mother, and also Liu Lan’s dual cultivation partner.

Before Liu Lan passed away, he asked Chen Xuan to take care of Zhu Long and the Golden Bird Fairy.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Xuan returned this time, he had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

But the Golden Bird Fairy really fell.

"This... is really unpredictable!"

Chen Xuan sighed for a while.

But he also knew that as a Jindan-stage warrior of the Yuling Sect, it was inevitable that Fairy Jinque would participate in the last battle of Seven Kingdoms City.

Although Chen Xuan found her death a little hard to bear, it was also within his expectations.

"Golden Sparrow Fairy's cultivation is not high, and her combat experience is not very rich. It is inevitable that she will fall."

"If we cultivators want to stay on the path of cultivation for a longer time, we can't just focus on improving our cultivation. Combat power is the key to saving our lives."

After Chen Xuan secretly sighed for a while, he said: "Brother, I will go to the Merit Hall first to pay tribute to my deceased fellow disciples, and then I will talk to you in detail."

"As it should be!"

Master Zimang nodded.

The crowd surrounded Chen Xuan and then walked into the Yuling Sect.

After Chen Xuan paid tribute to his fallen fellow disciples, everyone and Chen Xuan gathered in the meeting hall of the Yuling Sect.

At this moment, almost all the powerful Jindan stage masters of the Yuling Sect have arrived.

"Haha, fellow apprentices, our Yuling Sect has gained another powerful Yuanying stage expert this time. This is really cause for celebration!"

"So, we have to make Junior Brother Chen's Nascent Soul Celebration a little more lively."

"I'll leave the specific matters to you, Junior Brother Jindie."

Master Zimang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Jindie quickly stood up and said, "Yes, Uncle Purple Python! I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Next, everyone bowed to Chen Xuan before saying goodbye and leaving.

Soon, only Master Zimang and Chen Xuan were left in the entire meeting hall.

"Junior brother, your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage this time is of great significance to our Yuling Sect."

"So, your Nascent Soul Celebration Ceremony must be more grand. If so, I'm afraid you, Junior Brother, will have to work harder."

Master Zimang looked at Chen Xuan with a smile that was meaningful.

Chen Xuan thought about it carefully for a while, but was still confused.

"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Haha, since you said so, I will speak frankly. This time, you have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and I intend to take this opportunity to publicize it. After all, Senior Brother Scorpio was seriously injured not long ago. The high-end combat power of our Yuling Sect has been severely damaged. Now, if you show off your skills, others will think that our Yuling Sect is easy to bully." Master Zimang explained.

After listening to this, Chen Xuan suddenly understood.

But he still didn't agree immediately.

"Brother, you mean that I need to accept challenges from others during my Nascent Soul Celebration? If it is a challenge from a cultivator of the same realm, I will not be afraid. But if it is a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage..."

Chen Xuan looked embarrassed.

He is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul now.

Without being able to use your most powerful tricks, it would be very disadvantageous to fight against a cultivator of a higher level.

Chen Xuan was not sure that he could defeat all the cultivators who challenged him at the Nascent Soul Celebration.

"Haha, Junior Brother, don't worry. At the Nascent Soul Celebration, all cultivators at the same level will compete with each other. Junior Brother, when the time comes, you only need to win a little bit over the others."

"By then, other sects will not dare to underestimate our Yuling Sect."

Master Zimang explained with a smile.

Chen Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“If it’s just a challenge from a cultivator of the same level, I can definitely handle it.” Chen Xuan said.

"Haha, Junior Brother, I knew you would not let our Yuling Sect down."

……

Yuling Sect, Tongyou Valley!

As soon as Chen Xuan appeared at the entrance of Tongyou Valley, he saw all the cultivators in Tongyou Valley gathered at the entrance to greet him.

The leader was Zhu Long, who had recently advanced to the Jindan stage.

Standing next to him was Chen Xuan's other registered disciple, Fairy Miaoyu.

After them came Zhang Qingyue, Hao Zhengmei and other cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Last time, before Chen Xuan left, he also asked Hao Zhengmei and Zhang Qingyue to go into seclusion to reach the Jindan stage.

Unfortunately, these two people have not yet become Jindan stage cultivators.

Next, given their talents and lifespans, it would be extremely difficult for them to successfully advance to the Jindan stage again.

"Welcome back, ancestor!"

"Welcome back, ancestor!"

"Welcome back, ancestor!"

A uniform voice rang out from the Tongyou Valley.

Chen Xuan's divine sense slowly swept over everyone.

When he saw a lot of new faces in Tongyou Valley, he frowned slightly for some reason.

"Okay. Let's get back to work."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Soon, everyone saluted Chen Xuan and then went about their own business.

Only Chen Xuan's confidant was left alone.

"Greetings, Master. Congratulations on advancing to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Zhu Long and Fairy Miaoyu spoke in unison.

Seeing these two people looking at him and being happier than himself for his advancement, Chen Xuan also smiled.

"Advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is indeed worthy of congratulations. However, you must not fall behind in your cultivation."

"We cultivators cannot indulge in pleasure just because our cultivation has improved. Immortality is our lifelong pursuit."

After Chen Xuan encouraged the two, he said, "Come back to the cave with me first. I have something to say."

"Yes!"

After everyone agreed respectfully, they followed Chen Xuan back to his cave residence.

hum!

Chen Xuan waved his hand, and the protective formation in the cave was fully activated.

After entering the cave, Chen Xuan found a place to sit down casually.

Zhu Long, Fairy Miaoyu, Zhang Qingyue, and Hao Zhengmei stood in front of Chen Xuan with respectful expressions.

"There are fewer and fewer old friends. When I came back this time, I heard that my nephew Huique had also passed away. It was really heartbreaking."

"However, this is how the world of immortal cultivators works. Joys and sorrows, separations and reunions are the most normal things for us immortal cultivators. You shouldn't be too sad."

After Chen Xuan comforted everyone, his eyes turned to Zhang Qingyue and Hao Zhengmei.

"The cultivation of both of you has not improved over the years. Have you encountered a bottleneck?" Chen Xuan said.

"Reporting to the ancestor, we have been practicing hard over the years, but we have never been able to succeed in reaching the Jindan stage. I am sorry to disappoint the ancestor." Hao Zhengmei said.

Chen Xuan's eyes were calm.

However, his divine consciousness quickly swept through Hao Zhengmei's body.

It seems that there is very little vitality left in Hao Zhengmei's body.

When he realized that his life span was only a dozen years at most, he frowned slightly.

"You have followed me for many years, but your life span is almost over. If you want to advance to the Jindan stage in a short period of time, you must be extremely lucky."

"However, I would like to ask you two, if I let you take the risk of impacting the Jindan stage, how confident are you?"

Chen Xuan looked indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Hao Zhengmei and Zhang Qingyue looked at each other quickly before speaking respectfully.

"Reporting to the ancestor, if I were to strive for the Jindan stage now, the success rate would only be 50%. However, I have already let it go. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God! In this life, I am able to follow my predecessors, and it is not a wasted life." Hao Zhengmei said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingyue quickly nodded.

Chen Xuan pondered seriously for a moment, flipped his hand, took out two storage bags and handed them to the two men.

"Here are some cultivation resources I gave you. This is probably your last chance to reach the Jindan stage."

"As for whether you choose to sit and die, or take the risk and try to reach the Jindan stage, it's up to you to decide."
