Chapter 1678
The young man in the green robe and the young woman in the red robe quickly cupped their hands in thanks: "Thank you, fellow Daoist!" The two dared not delay any longer and hurriedly flew towards the pass.
Seeing that Chen Xuan did not stop him, the surrounding cultivators exchanged glances and cautiously offered him their toll.
With such a powerful figure here, at least for the time being, no one will dare to cause trouble easily.
Seeing that Chen Xuan was so easy to talk to, Guangyu, the young man in the blue robe, felt relieved and immediately wanted to take Hongye through the immortal array ahead and enter the Chaos Nest to seek opportunities.
Just as the two were passing by Chen Xuan, Hongye suddenly stopped in her tracks—her mother's parting words suddenly echoed in her mind.
She hesitated for a moment, then quietly sent a telepathic message to Chen Xuan: "Senior, do you know my mother?"
Chen Xuan was just raising his hand to collect the toll of tens of millions of catties of Yuan Liquid handed over by various parties when he heard this. He turned his head and glanced at her from under his bamboo hat, his tone devoid of emotion: "Are you talking about your mother, Qing Guang?"
“That’s right! My mother is Qingguang Tianshen, one of the founding ancestors of Yuguang Holy City!” When Hongye heard him call out her mother’s Daoist name, her cheeks flushed instantly, and her eyes were full of expectation. Although she couldn’t see the face behind the bamboo hat, she could vaguely sense that the other person was not very old.
Chen Xuan suddenly chuckled and replied telepathically, "Oh, your mother? I once suggested that she be my mistress."
Hongye was suddenly stunned, her mind went blank for a moment, as if she had been struck by lightning, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Just kidding." Chen Xuan's voice came again, with a hint of mockery. "But I did ask her if she had a daughter, and I wanted to take her as a Daoist partner, but unfortunately she didn't agree."
Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Unfortunately, forced fruit is never sweet, so I naturally won't force it. Alright, you've paid your toll, hurry up and seek your opportunities."
"Well... Senior, I'll take my leave now." Hongye finally found her voice, her cheeks flushed and burning, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
Guangyu didn't notice the two's telepathic communication. Seeing his junior sister's face turn red and white, he assumed she was still shaken by the danger she had just faced, so he didn't ask any further questions and pulled her towards the great formation.
Hongye was being pulled along, but her steps were a little unsteady. As they passed through the Immortal Rank Array, she couldn't help but look back frequently at the white-haired boy in the bamboo hat who was collecting Yuan Liquid in the void, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She never knew who her father was from birth, and her mother never mentioned it. Over time, she almost forgot about it.
But today, this person named Jiuxiao actually said that he once wanted to become Daoist partners with his mother.
Hongye couldn't help but mutter to herself, "My mother is a celestial being, how could she possibly be interested in a mere Void Reversal Realm cultivator? He must be bragging! Once I become stronger, I will definitely defeat him and restore my mother's honor!"
The girl was seething with anger, but her pace quickened involuntarily.
What followed went exceptionally smoothly.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators participating in the Chaos Nest training—whether they were successors of the Holy City, quasi-disciples of the Holy City, or independent cultivators—all contributed tens of millions of catties of Yuan Liquid or equivalent treasures, and no one dared to bargain.
After all, the scene of Chen Xuan defeating the Golden Tiger and Silver Dragon of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land was still fresh in everyone's mind, and no one wanted to provoke that bad luck.
Chen Xuan stood still, and with a wave of his hand, he took the continuously supplied Yuan Liquid into his storage space.
Hundreds of thousands of people, each with tens of millions of gold essence, this number had long exceeded his calculations, but he could clearly feel the energy in his storage space expanding wildly—this time, setting up a checkpoint to "charge" had yielded far more gains than he had imagined.
Before long, the last group of cultivators also rushed through the Chaos Pass and disappeared at the other end of the great formation.
Only Chen Xuan remained in the void. He stared at the empty entrance to the pass, his eyes flickering slightly beneath his bamboo hat.
Having collected so many "tolls," it's time to go and see what opportunities lie within the Chaos Nest that are worth so many people flocking there.
Inside the light curtain of the last immortal-level array at the Chaos Pass, Lin Yuqiong and her brother were holding their breath and watching the outside world.
When Lin Yuqiong saw Chen Xuan descend into the center of the crowd and calmly accept the jade bottles one by one in the face of the awe-inspiring gazes of hundreds of thousands of people, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Each jade bottle contains ten million catties of Yuan liquid... Not a single one of the hundreds of thousands of people dared to resist. Brother Chen Xuan has really struck it rich this time!"
He had seen a lot of the world, but he never imagined that "setting up checkpoints and charging fees" could go to this extent.
In the past, even if the Nine Nether Holy Land had the upper hand, they would only dare to ask for 100,000 or 1 million catties at most. As for tens of millions of catties, even the disciples of the Holy Land did not dare to ask for them. However, Chen Xuan made everyone obediently offer them up.
Lin Yuyao, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded: "This harvest... is probably more than what our Qilin City has accumulated over thousands of years, right?"
As they spoke, Chen Xuan had already collected the last "toll," and walked towards the great formation with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips, and an aura of composure with his steps.
As the immortal array slowly dissipated, Lin Yuqiong and her brother immediately flew forward to join him.
"This is your share." Chen Xuan waved his hand, and two storage rings landed in the hands of the two people.
The brother and sister instinctively caught it, and as soon as they probed with their divine senses, their eyes froze instantly—although there were only a hundred jade bottles in the ring, each jade bottle contained ten million catties of primordial liquid!
"One hundred bottles?!" Lin Yuyao couldn't help but cover her mouth, her voice trembling. Such wealth was enough to drive any heir of the Holy City mad with envy.
Chen Xuan casually remarked, as if handing over two ordinary pebbles, "This is just a drop in the ocean." To him, even a fraction of what he had gained this time was far more than this.
He then took out two jade talismans and handed them to the two men: "These are communication jade talismans. If you encounter danger, crush them and I can arrive immediately."
He paused, then said with an undeniable certainty, "But with me here, Silver Dragon and the others won't dare to touch you—in this Chaos Nest, my strength is enough to suppress everyone. In my eyes, they are no different from ants."
Such domineering words, spoken by him, did not sound exaggerated at all.
Lin Yuqiong and her brother exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Following Chen Xuan, we not only defeated powerful enemies along the way, but also gained such rich rewards. These two or three decades of travel have been worthwhile!
"Brother Chen Xuan's great kindness will never be forgotten by Qilin City!" Lin Yuqiong solemnly cupped her hands, "If there is any need for service, Qilin City will not hesitate to die for it."
Chen Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "No need for that. We should also enter the Chaos Divine Dynasty and seek our own opportunities."
"Take care, Brother Chen Xuan!" Lin Yuqiong and her brother accepted the jade talisman, bowed deeply, and then turned and flew towards the depths of the Chaos Nest.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Chen Xuan looked up at the swirling, chaotic mist in the distance, his eyes flickering slightly beneath his bamboo hat.
Besides accumulating resources, he had an even more important goal to achieve during this trip to the Chaos Divine Dynasty.
"Little Tower, you said that the Chaos Clan's treasure, the 'Chaos Tree,' is hidden in the Chaos here. Does that mean there really is the legendary Chaos Dao Fruit?" After everyone left, Chen Xuan immediately asked via telepathy.
"Hmph, the cultivators in this realm have weak foundations and don't understand the Chaos Clan at all. I can't believe that half an era has passed and no one has found the Chaos Tree? How laughable." The little tower sneered and immediately said, "Boy, follow my directions and go there quickly."
