Seeing that Chen Xuan was no longer taking treasures from the Treasure Distribution Cliff, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded in satisfaction.

He then waved his hand in front of him, and the next moment Chen Xuan reappeared in the Purple Cloud Palace.

"Every Innate Spiritual Treasure on the Treasure Distribution Cliff is enough to cause a bloody storm in the Great Desolate. But I feel that you seem to disdain them?"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "If possible, this disciple's grandson hopes that the entire Treasure Distribution Cliff belongs to this disciple's grandson.

But this disciple's grandson also knows his limits. Innate Spiritual Treasures belong to those with virtue. As for those that cannot resonate with me, this disciple's grandson wouldn't dare to take even one."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded again, "Could it be that on the vast Treasure Distribution Cliff, only the nine treasures you took can resonate with you?"

Chen Xuan shook his head, "There are a few more, maybe even more. But nine is the extreme number between heaven and earth, and this disciple's grandson understands the principle of a full cup overflowing."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun burst into laughter after hearing this. This was the first time Dao Ancestor Hongjun had laughed so heartily in countless eons.

He then spoke to Chen Xuan, "There are still a hundred years until the next lecture. You have nothing to do staying in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Many things have happened in the Great Desolate during this time. You can use these hundred years to go and see. When the time comes, I will personally bring you to the Purple Cloud Palace."

Without waiting for Chen Xuan's agreement, he directly waved his hand at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan's figure instantly disappeared from the Purple Cloud Palace. When he reappeared, it was a scene of beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Here, towering trees reached for the sky, and flowers bloomed in clusters. Spiritual flowers and exotic grasses competed for beauty. It was clearly a Dao Field of immortals.

What caught Chen Xuan's attention, however, was a spiritual energy in the mountains. Chen Xuan felt endless spiritual power in that spiritual energy.

He immediately transformed into a wisp of water vapor and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan appeared beneath that spiritual energy.

Looking up carefully, he found that the spiritual energy was emanating from a large tree.

Although this large tree was over ten feet tall, with lush branches and leaves and a pleasing growth, it only bore nine fruits.

Although there were only nine fruits, Chen Xuan felt endless spiritual energy from them.

This immediately stirred Chen Xuan's habit of picking flowers and digging up plants, preparing to take this large tree away.

Because Chen Xuan had transformed under the Heavenly Punishment, by chance, a special space formed by Nine Heavens Breath Soil appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Chen Xuan's Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Tree and the gourd vine obtained from Mount Buzhou were now growing within that independent space.

Coupled with Chen Xuan's flower picking and plant digging in the Great Desolate Land some time ago, the entire space was already full.

If his cultivation hadn't reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, perhaps even if Chen Xuan wanted to take this large tree away, he would have nowhere to plant it.

Now, the area of Chen Xuan's special space had more than doubled, making it feel a little empty again.

So Chen Xuan didn't hesitate to wave his hand at the large tree, preparing to put it into his special space.

Unfortunately, just as Chen Xuan made his move, he heard a cold snort from behind him.

"Where did this little thief come from, daring to steal my Yellow Center Plum Tree?" As she spoke, a fairy appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

Leaving aside the fact that Chen Xuan had seen her in the Purple Cloud Palace, just by her mentioning the Yellow Center Plum Tree, Chen Xuan already knew who this was.

He immediately bowed with a smile and said, "So it's Sister Western Queen Mother, this younger brother Chen Xuan greets you."

At this moment, the Western Queen Mother had also clearly seen Chen Xuan and knew that this was the first disciple of the Profound School's third generation, who had received special care from Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Immediately, the anger on her face instantly disappeared, and she calmly asked Chen Xuan, "Brother Chen Xuan, why aren't you staying on Kunlun Mountain? Why did you come to my West Kunlun?"

The Western Queen Mother was not being polite; she directly and naturally acknowledged Chen Xuan as her younger brother.

If Goddess Nvwa were to find out, she would surely fly into a rage again.

Chen Xuan scratched his head, "I don't know what's going on. It was my Grandmaster, that old man, who directly sent me here from the Purple Cloud Palace."

Chen Xuan's words couldn't help but make the Western Queen Mother pause, "Brother Chen Xuan, are you saying that for the past nearly thousand years, you've been in the Purple Cloud Palace?"

Chen Xuan looked at the Western Queen Mother with a puzzled expression and nodded, "Yes, Grandmaster, that old man, has been preaching to me. Is there something wrong with that?"

Chen Xuan tried hard to put on a harmless expression, but the expression on the Western Queen Mother's face was a bit hard to describe.

One had to say that Chen Xuan's act was quite impressive. To have Dao Ancestor Hongjun personally preach to him for nearly a thousand years was definitely something Chen Xuan could boast about for a lifetime.

And Chen Xuan also intentionally released this news because being a third-generation Daoist was definitely a good choice.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun knew what Chen Xuan was thinking, he would surely scold Chen Xuan for saying one thing and doing another.

At this moment, the Western Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed again, "You were sent directly to West Kunlun by the Dao Ancestor. Could it be that the Dao Ancestor has something he wants Brother Chen Xuan to tell me?

Ever since the Purple Cloud Palace, when the Dao Ancestor made me the head of the female immortals in the Great Desolate, I've been on pins and needles, always feeling like countless eyes are watching me."

At this time, the Western Queen Mother's face had turned into a mix of worry and sorrow, which couldn't help but make Chen Xuan pause as well.

"Sister Western Queen Mother, as the head of all female immortals, you should be happy. Why are you showing such an expression?" Chen Xuan still maintained a harmless expression.

The Western Queen Mother shook her head and sighed, "They say I'm the head of all female immortals, but how many female immortals are truly willing to obey me?

Over the past thousand years, although there are thousands of female immortals in my West Kunlun, most of them have mediocre cultivation. Where would there truly be a talented person willing to submit to me?

If possible, I would even be willing to resign from being the head of all female immortals to the Dao Ancestor, so I don't have to worry about being plotted against every day."

When Chen Xuan heard the Western Queen Mother's words, he couldn't help but secretly think, No wonder the Eastern Duke ultimately perished while the Western Queen Mother was able to protect herself.

Ultimately, it's because of the importance of self-positioning. If you can't find your place, the only outcome is destruction.

At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly remembered something and immediately opened his mouth to ask the Western Queen Mother with a smile.

"Sister Western Queen Mother, I wonder if my brother-in-law, the Eastern Duke, thinks the same way you do?"

The Western Queen Mother's face turned shy at Chen Xuan's question. She glared fiercely at Chen Xuan and said, "I am me, and the Eastern Duke is the Eastern Duke. Don't drag us together."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "I knew it. Sister Western Queen Mother is so beautiful, how could you be a Dao companion to that lecherous Eastern Duke?"

The Western Queen Mother giggled at Chen Xuan's words and nodded vigorously.

At the same time, the Eastern Duke on the East Sea Eastern Zhushan couldn't help but sneeze twice.
