Chapter 2282
To avoid a tragedy, this was the only option left.
Sure enough, upon hearing that it concerned Chen Xuan's success or failure in his tribulation, the four women, though reluctant, dared not insist and could only silently nod in agreement.
"Xueqi, now that you have transcended your tribulation and become an immortal, a more important mission awaits you." The Holy Lord of Yaoguang looked at Lu Xueqi, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.
"Under the rule of the Yao Guang Domain, the Holy City, Quasi-Holy City, and countless Nebula-level sects have mobilized a million Void Realm cultivators and 108,000 Celestial Immortals to form a war preparedness legion. You need to lead the other holy sons and daughters of the sect to spearhead the drills for a super joint formation to deal with the civilization war."
He paused and continued:
"As a first-class celestial immortal and the core leader of the Yao Guang Domain's war preparation legion, you must, within the next three hundred years, familiarize yourself with and master the super formation composed of 108,000 celestial immortals, enabling it to unleash combat power surpassing that of true immortals and comparable to that of a first-class god-king!"
"What? A super battle formation composed of 108,000 celestial beings?" Lu Xueqi looked at her master in shock, her voice trembling slightly. "What virtue or ability do I possess to shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"
"It is precisely because the responsibility is so great that you need to give it your all." The Holy Lord of Yaoguang's gaze was firm.
"For the next three hundred years, you will need to work day and night with the celestial beings who have been transferred here to practice and refine the super formation to its fullest potential."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Chen Xuan, who was being held in Jue Wuqing's hand, his tone complex:
"If he can successfully overcome the tribulation, with his strength, he can naturally protect you on the frontier battlefield; if he... after you disciples of this generation arrive at the Imperial Pass frontier, you can only fight on your own and survive by your own means."
"The imperial border is invaded by civilizations..." Lu Xueqi's expression instantly turned solemn, and she nodded heavily, "Disciple understands, and will certainly live up to Master's expectations."
“Master, I would like to say goodbye to my husband one last time, and then return to the Yao Guang Holy Land with you,” Lu Xueqi pleaded.
"Alas, foolish child." The Holy Lord of Yaoguang sighed softly, but in the end he couldn't bear to refuse. "Go, and return quickly."
Watching his disciple rapidly fly towards Chen Xuan, the Holy Master of Yao Guang murmured to himself:
"At this very moment, all the holy sons and daughters of the ten holy lands in the Flame Dragon Realm who are qualified to serve as commanders of the army are probably practicing battle formations with all their might. Three hundred years from now, it will be the time for your generation to go to the Imperial Pass and protect the destiny of civilization."
Chen Xuan and Lu Xueqi briefly reunited in the void and mist, and learned about the previous conversation between everyone.
He secretly rejoiced—in fact, he had hoped that no Daoist companions would be watching him during his tribulation, so as not to distract him and cause them worry. Jue Wuqing and Yao Guang Saint Lord's "lie" was exactly what he wanted.
The two embraced tightly, whispering secrets in each other's ears, their words filled with reluctance and longing.
After a short while, Chen Xuan watched Lu Xueqi's figure transform into a streak of light and disappear beyond the Xuanxiao Starfield.
"Xueqi, take care. We will meet again once I successfully overcome my tribulation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan no longer hesitated. He flashed and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the bottom of the Northern Sea.
From then on, Chen Xuan's whereabouts became a secret, known only to Jue Wuqing.
Within the Immortal Abode world, the small tower operated at full capacity, maintaining a time flow rate a thousand times faster.
Chen Xuan sat cross-legged, calming his chaotic state of mind, reviewing all the insights and opportunities he had gained along the way, and thoroughly integrating the essence of Taoist magic, supernatural powers, and divine body.
Time flew by under the pagoda's blessing; a day inside the pagoda was equivalent to a hundred years outside.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan had been meditating in the tower for six thousand years, while in the outside world, exactly sixty years had passed.
Over the past sixty years, the Yanlong Realm has witnessed dramatic changes, and the atmosphere of preparation for war has grown increasingly intense.
Within the Realm of Heartless Love, ten stars are scattered across the sky, each stationed with a reserve legion composed of 108,000 cultivators at the Void Reversal Realm.
At the center of these ten stars, on an even larger star, stood a core fighting force composed of 108,000 celestial beings.
The five individuals, Qing Tianyu'er, Piaoxue, Qiu Zixian, Bai Qianhuan, and Bai Qianjue, had already traveled to the core star sixty years ago to lead the rehearsal of a super battle formation to deal with the invasion of civilizations.
Sword light crisscrossed, Daoist principles intertwined, and the battle formation's aura enveloped the stars like a celestial canopy, with each practice resonating with the heavens and earth.
Meanwhile, Liuli, Xuanhao, Cangxuanyue, and the other four were stationed on the remaining ten stars, leading the Void Reversal Realm cultivators in repeated practice of auxiliary formations—the Domain Suppressing Flame Dragon Formation, the Nine Purple Fire Dragon Formation, and the Qufeng Yaotian Star Formation…
Each great formation contains the power to restrain and entangle the opponent's fully-developed combat strength, providing support and protection for the core battle formation.
Not only in the Realm of Heartless Love, but throughout the entire Flame Dragon Realm, including the ten holy lands such as the Immortal Ancient Holy Land and the Supreme Holy Land, all the core disciples of the younger generation, whether they have already transcended tribulation and become immortals or have not yet transcended tribulation, are frantically honing their strength and practicing their weapons of war.
The covenant at the Imperial Pass three hundred years later has become a warning bell hanging over the heads of all young cultivators, and also a driving force for them to forge ahead.
At the bottom of the Northern Sea, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting the rising and falling of stars and the flow of Daoist energy.
Six thousand years of quiet contemplation and enlightenment have solidified his cultivation at the peak of the Void Reversal Realm. His Dao Heart is perfect and flawless. He is just waiting for the exact day of his tribulation to arrive so that he can challenge for the position of First-Class Celestial Immortal.
"The sixty-year period has come to an end; it is time to emerge from seclusion."
