Chapter 1665
But Lin Yuqiong has never been an indecisive person.
Back on Gu Shen Star, he had already made up his mind to follow Chen Xuan to the bitter end.
The saying goes, "The Way cannot be born without the mind." Only when a person is trapped in a desperate situation can he unleash the powerful potential within him.
“Brother Chen Xuan, you are overthinking this.” Lin Yuqiong’s gaze was deep, but her tone was resolute. “After this trip, Qilin City will be your most loyal ally and supporter. At worst, it’s just death.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan gave the usually gentle young man a deep look. These words were all too familiar—they sounded exactly like the resolute words spoken to him by the Fairy Biluo before her death, when she had exhausted herself performing the Great Shift Technique.
"Good! Very good!" Chen Xuan laughed, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "You truly deserve to be my friend. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. As they drew ever closer to the Chaos Nest, ripples began to appear frequently in the surrounding void. The twisted ripples of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the silvery trajectory of the Great Dao of Stars intertwined and flickered, clearly indicating that various forces were rushing over using teleportation techniques. An increasingly tense atmosphere permeated the air.
The black unicorn chariot they rode in, though bearing the name of a celestial rank, was actually of low rank.
The black Qilin pulling the carriage had dull fur and incomplete scales on its limbs, clearly indicating that it was a subspecies with mixed bloodlines. In this star field, it wouldn't even be considered an ordinary immortal-grade carriage, let alone a rare one.
As they passed several strongholds, three teams led by celestial beings cast their gazes at them.
The celestial beings were surrounded by celestial light, and their divine senses swept over the carriage like searchlights. When they saw that there were only three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators inside, their eyes dimmed, and they did not even bother to ask any further questions.
After all, the forces and rogue cultivators surging towards the Chaos Nest were already countless, and the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were like ants, not arousing any interest whatsoever.
Without a word, the black Qilin chariot finally arrived at the edge of the starry sky where the Chaos God's Nest had been born, following the original route.
Looking around, the entire void seemed to have become an exhibition of magical treasures.
The warship, towering like a floating mountain range, hovered in the sea of stars, its surface engraved with runes that emitted bursts of lightning.
The jagged fortress gleamed with a cold metallic light, and armored soldiers could be vaguely seen patrolling the ramparts; there were countless chariots and flying boats of all kinds, some shaped like giant whales spouting water as they moved, and others resembling roc spreading its wings as if about to take flight. The spiritual energy emanating from them was layered upon layered, almost freezing the air in this star field.
Even more eye-catching were the prows of the ships—many figures stood with their hands behind their backs, their auras as deep and vast as the ocean. The pressure of the gods caused the void to tremble slightly, and the immortal charm of the celestial beings made the surrounding stars dim. Clearly, these were powerful figures sent by various forces to provide support.
In comparison, the black Qilin chariot that Chen Xuan and the other two rode in was like a piece of coarse hemp mixed in with a pile of brocade, completely inconspicuous.
If someone were to glance at them, they would most likely just think that these are three ignorant and arrogant juniors in the Nascent Soul Realm who are just there to make up the numbers and be used as cannon fodder.
Chen Xuan simply smiled faintly at this. He established the "Destroying Holy Sect," emphasizing "arrogance," but he never intended to flaunt his power outside his own territory.
This madness will only explode like thunder when the Chaos Nest opens and when those juniors below the Celestial Immortal level step inside to truly discuss the Dao and compete for supremacy.
As a newcomer, Chen Xuan was completely unfamiliar with the power structure before him.
Fortunately, Lin Yuqiong and her brother were locals who lived in this starry sky, and they quickly pointed to the group of magical warships in the distance and introduced them to him one by one.
“Look, Brother Chen Xuan.” Lin Yuqiong pointed to a warship with a blood-red banner hanging in the distance to the left. The two characters “Yu Guang” on the banner were chilling. “That is the Azure Light God of Yu Guang Holy City.” He paused and then pointed to the side of the God. “The red-haired girl and the purple-haired youth, one is his personal disciple, and the other… is his only daughter.”
Chen Xuan looked in the direction he pointed, his gaze falling on the beautiful young woman in green—or more accurately, on the red-haired girl beside her.
The girl's eyes held a hint of stubbornness and naivety, vaguely resembling a figure from his memory. A knowing smile played on his lips as he muttered, "Oh, so she's her daughter. No wonder she was so adamant back then; that's the reason."
After saying that, his gaze toward the red-haired girl held a deeper, more intriguing meaning.
"Look over there." Lin Yuqiong's voice deepened as she pointed to a flying boat wrapped in a hurricane in the right front. A young man in a blue robe stood on the deck of the flying boat, with wind patterns flowing around him. "That is the young master of Gale Holy City, and also our Qilin City's mortal enemy. We have clashed several times in secret."
A cold glint flashed in Lin Yuqiong's eyes: "This person is proficient in the Great Dao of the North Wind and has extremely strong talent. He is already a genuine late-stage Void Reversal Realm cultivator. Relying on the favor of the Lord of the Holy City, he obtained a set of mid-grade Immortal-level magic treasures. Combined with his Great Dao divine abilities, his combat power is probably enough to rival even a third- or second-grade Celestial Immortal."
"And that warship..." Lin Yuqiong continued, her fingertips tracing a distant, god-class behemoth shrouded in black mist.
As he spoke, Chen Xuan's gaze swept across the various forces, finally settling on the warship of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land. The ship was entirely black, with divine patterns that seemed to devour light. In the center of the deck stood a squinting old man in black robes, his hands behind his back. He seemed unremarkable, yet he made Chen Xuan feel a chill run down his spine.
Although both are celestial beings, this old man's aura is a hundred times stronger than that of the Azure Light Celestial God; the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
"Could it be a first-class celestial god? Or even someone who has reached the celestial immortal realm?" Chen Xuan was secretly shocked and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "As expected of the Nine Nether Holy Land that controls this realm, its foundation is indeed unfathomable."
He turned to Lin Yuqiong and asked, "Can you check if the legendary Saintess Xia Jiuyou, who is both a demon and an immortal, has arrived?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuqiong's expression changed drastically, and she stared at him with a complicated look: "I advise you not to make a move on Xia Jiuyou. That woman is eccentric and unpredictable, both righteous and evil—it's true that she has slaughtered hundreds of millions of lives, but it's also true that she has shed blood to protect all living beings in the Cataclysmic Starfield. This kind of person is completely unpredictable, so it's best to stay away from her."
"How many more Daoist partners do you want to find?" Lin Yuyao suddenly bristled, pouting angrily, her voice full of sourness. "Let me count... including me... you've got five already, haven't you?"
"You big bad guy, you womanizing bastard!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan and Lin Yuqiong were both stunned, staring at her in disbelief.
"Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Yuqiong was the first to react, frowning and scolding her.
"I... I was just saying it offhand!" Lin Yuyao's cheeks flushed instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She hurriedly waved her hands, "I'm going out to drive the carriage. You guys chat, you guys chat! I can't care about you, hmph!"
After saying that, she blushed and hurriedly ran out of the carriage, her steps even a little unsteady.
Chen Xuan and Lin Yuqiong exchanged a glance, both amused and exasperated. They shook their heads and continued to discuss in hushed tones the various forces involved in this trip to the Chaos Nest, as well as the formidable opponents they had to be wary of.
