206: Mu Xueer
Chen Yuan seemed oblivious to the gazes around him. Just as he was about to speak, the main gate of the tallest Ice Crystal Main Hall ahead suddenly burst open.
Led by the Palace Revered Master of Guanghan, Moon Wuxia, several Elders with powerful auras emerged with solemn expressions and hurried steps.
Their attitude was respectful. Under the shocked gazes of countless Disciples, Moon Wuxia led the Elders, stopped a few steps in front of Chen Yuan, and bowed in unison:
"Moon Wuxia of Guanghan Immortal Palace, leading the Sect Elders, respectfully welcomes the arrival of the Hall Master!"
"Hall Master?!"
These two words exploded like thunder in the ears of all the surrounding Disciples!
The gazes that had been filled with curiosity and scrutiny were instantly replaced by shock and terror!
Is he the legendary Lord of the Eastern Barrens?
Chen Yuan, the Supreme Sword God who subdued the Four Sects with a single sword and founded the Eastern Profound Hall?
He is actually so young?!
He actually came to the Guanghan Immortal Palace in person?!
In an instant, inside and outside the Mountain Gate, there was dead silence, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
All the Female Disciples subconsciously held their breath. Their original whispers vanished without a trace, leaving only boundless reverence.
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, his tone calm:
"Mistress Yue, there is no need for such ceremony. This Hall Master's trip is only to borrow and view your Sect's Cultivation Techniques."
"Hall Master, please follow me. The Technique Pavilion has been prepared." Moon Wuxia turned sideways to lead the way, maintaining an extremely humble posture.
Under countless gazes mixed with shock, curiosity, and awe, Chen Yuan followed Moon Wuxia and the others, stepping into this icy and snowy immortal realm never before trodden by a man, heading straight for the Guanghan Heavenly Scripture Pavilion.
After seeing Chen Yuan into the Heavenly Scripture Pavilion, Moon Wuxia and several Core Elders retreated to the Side Hall.
An Elder with a beautiful face but notably lively eyes lowered her voice and said:
"Palace Revered Master, the Hall Master... possesses Heaven-Reaching Cultivation at such a young age; his future is limitless. I saw that his expression was calm just now, so he is not someone difficult to approach."
She paused, then tentatively said: "The Hall Master is also a young person, and young people always find it easier to have common ground.
Why not let the young people interact more? Our Sect's Divine Maiden Mu Xueer is the cream of the crop in our Sect, whether in talent, appearance, or Heart-Nature. If this succeeds, the status of our Guanghan Immortal Palace will be unshakable in the future."
Moon Wuxia's gaze flickered. After pondering for a moment, she instructed the Disciple waiting below, "Go summon Xue'er."
Before long, a graceful figure arrived elegantly.
She was dressed in white robes that surpassed snow, her skin like jade, translucent and flawless, her features delicate, and her bright eyes clear like a cold spring.
Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, only partially held up by a simple Ice Jade Hairpin, the rest flowing smoothly behind her. Her body seemed shrouded in a hazy lunar glow, giving her an otherworldly air. This was precisely the contemporary Divine Maiden of Guanghan Immortal Palace, Mu Xueer.
"Xue'er greets Revered Master and all the Elders." Mu Xueer's voice was cool and ethereal.
Moon Wuxia looked at her, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, and spoke gently:
"Xue'er, you are no longer young. Do you have any thoughts regarding matters between men and women?"
Mu Xueer was slightly startled, and a hint of sadness flashed across her cool face.
Having grown up in the Sect since childhood, she knew well that as a Divine Maiden, her marriage was often not her own to decide and would likely become a link for Sect alliances.
She lightly pursed her red lips. Her voice was still calm, but carried a subtle hint of resistance:
"Replying to Revered Master, this Disciple is devoted to the Dao and currently has no such thoughts."
Moon Wuxia exchanged a look with that Elder and continued, "What if the object is Hall Master Chen Yuan?"
"The Hall Master?"
Mu Xueer suddenly looked up, surprise flashing in her clear eyes.
The fleeting glimpse of the figure in green robes she had just seen flashed through her mind.
She lowered her eyelids slightly, her long lashes trembling. Her voice was a few degrees lower than before, but the previous resistance was gone, replaced by a hint of maidenly shyness:
"The Hall Master is a Dragon among Men and an Unparalleled Hero. If... if it is the Hall Master, this Disciple... will abide by Revered Master's arrangements."
Although the words were reserved, the quietly changing attitude already explained everything.
Which woman in the world does not love a hero?
Meanwhile, inside the Guanghan Heavenly Scripture Pavilion.
Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, his Divine Sense having long since enveloped all the Legacy light clusters.
These were all Saint-Tier Cultivation Techniques.
The Great Transformation True Scripture, the Guanghan Immortal Art, the Ice Soul Divine Art... Dao Rhythms flowed around Chen Yuan, and the Extreme Cold Qi was easily controlled by him.
In just a few hours, he had fully comprehended all the core Legacies of the Guanghan Immortal Palace.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of brilliance quickly disappeared within them.
"Not bad." He nodded in satisfaction. Immediately, with a thought, using Divine Thought as a pen and Spiritual Power as ink, he transcribed all the Cultivation Techniques, such as the Great Transformation True Scripture and the Guanghan Immortal Art, into Jade Slips.
When he reappeared, he was outside the Heavenly Scripture Pavilion. Moon Wuxia and the others seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
"Thank you, Mistress Yue. Your Sect's Legacy is indeed profound. This Hall Master has benefited greatly." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"The Hall Master is too kind. It is the fortune of Guanghan Immortal Palace to be of assistance to the Hall Master."
Moon Wuxia quickly responded, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the graceful figure standing quietly nearby, whose white dress surpassed snow.
Chen Yuan naturally also noticed the woman with an ethereal aura and peerless Beauty.
Seeing Chen Yuan's gaze land on Mu Xueer, Moon Wuxia knew the time was right. She smiled, and with a tone of concern, she asked:
"Hall Master, with your Heaven-Defying Talent, you shake the Eastern Barrens. May I ask if you have a Dao Companion by your side?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuan's eyebrow twitched slightly. He instantly understood the intention of Moon Wuxia and the Guanghan Immortal Palace.
Seeing that he was young, accomplished, and held a respected status, they wanted to use a Marriage Alliance to tie the Guanghan Immortal Palace closer to himself, and by extension, to the Xuantian Sect and the Eastern Profound Hall.
His expression remained unchanged, and he calmly stated, "Thank you for your concern, Mistress Yue. This Hall Master currently has six Dao Companions."
Hearing this number, Moon Wuxia and the surrounding Elders not only did not show disappointment but felt it was perfectly natural.
For a Human Race Supreme like Chen Yuan, who had reached the pinnacle at such a young age, having multiple Confidantes was normal. Seven or eight Dao Companions was not surprising to the high-ranking figures of the Eastern Barrens; it was even reasonable.
The Elder who had previously made the suggestion immediately seized the opportunity, her tone becoming a bit more enthusiastic:
"The Hall Master is busy with affairs; it is truly fortunate to have several Beauties accompanying you. The Hall Master's presence at our Guanghan Immortal Palace today is the Supreme glory of our Sect.
It's just that we are tied up with Sect mundane affairs and fear we cannot personally accompany the Hall Master to fully appreciate the snow scenery of our Sect. This is truly a slight."
She changed the subject, looking kindly at Mu Xueer, who stood with her head lowered, and smiled:
"It just so happens that Xue'er is free these days, and she is most familiar with the inside and outside of the Sect. Why don't we let her accompany the Hall Master to walk around and look at our Sect at leisure, thus fulfilling our Duty as Hosts.
If the Hall Master needs to go elsewhere next, having Xue'er guide you will also be more convenient."
These words were both subtle and eloquent.
Moon Wuxia also nodded slightly in agreement.
After the Elders finished speaking, they exchanged glances, and without waiting for Chen Yuan's explicit reply, they bowed in unison:
"We shall take our leave first to attend to Sect affairs. Hall Master, if you have any needs, just instruct Xue'er at any time."
As soon as they finished speaking, the group actually used Movement Techniques, transforming into several streaks of light, quickly disappearing outside the Side Hall, making a swift escape.
Their speed was so fast, as if they were afraid Chen Yuan might refuse.
