The Ten Great Immortal Sects, the Taixu Palace....

This place is highly likely to be the Immortal Sect's stronghold in the Capital, and the person in charge inside clearly doesn't want to be too involved with him, which is why they avoid him repeatedly.

After staring for a moment, Chen Yuan shook his head, preparing to turn back to the mansion, when suddenly, an elderly Taoist in a green robe with white hair and beard came out, smiling warmly at him.

"Marquis of Wu'an, why not come inside the temple to rest for a bit?"

Chen Yuan stared at the old Taoist, sensing a faint, ethereal aura emanating from him, subtly aligning with the heavens and earth but distinctly separate.

Yang God True Monarch!

Chen Yuan quickly gauged this person's approximate cultivation level.

"In that case, I shall disturb you."

Regarding the fact that the other could see through his disguise, Chen Yuan wasn't surprised. If it's really a Yang God True Monarch, then merely relying on his disguise and aura concealment techniques might indeed be insufficient.

"Please."

Since the last time the copper-threaded exotic treasure of the Tianxu Taoist broke, he had been unable to pry into all things about Chen Yuan, and a hint of curiosity inevitably arose in his heart.

How did he manage it?

This is, after all, a secret technique of Taixu Palace. Even a Yang God True Monarch would find it hard to completely shield their own heavenly fate, yet he managed to do so; it's truly astonishing.

However, though curious, he wouldn't actively seek an audience.

But since the other party had coincidentally come to Qingyun Temple for the third time, it indicated some connection with Taixu Palace. Continually avoiding was no longer possible, so meeting was inevitable.

The Tianxu old Taoist guided Chen Yuan to the main hall, offered him a cup of unremarkable tea, then sat down and looked at him with a warm smile.

As if there were something on his face.

In reality, he was observing the qi, wanting to see what was different about him.

But when his eyes glimmered gently, trying to delve deeper, a sudden change appeared in his vision; as if the world faded, and next, an illusory world appeared, shrouded by the pervasive purple energy.

It was completely unclear.

And when he was prepared to take another closer look, suddenly, an immense power enveloped him, as though witnessing something truly terrifying,

he couldn't help but blush, suffering a backlash.

"What's wrong, senior?"

Chen Yuan squinted his eyes, curious.

As the other was observing him, he was also observing the other, but unfortunately, his Heavenly Eye did not react, so when noticing the other's blushed face, he couldn't help but inquire.

"It's nothing, nothing..."

The Tianxu old Taoist waved his hand, though inwardly, he was startled.

The previous observations didn't result in such changes; what had happened with Chen Yuan in Liangzhou?

Why was there a Purple Energy Canopy?

This abnormal phenomenon, even normal emperors wouldn't have.

Truly mystifying.

His heavenly favor... had become even more terrifying.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. A person's fate is decided by heaven, but this lad seemed entirely different, as though he could defy fate, resulting in such changes to himself.

"The previous few times Chen visited Qingyun, it was all missed by coincidence. Why is senior willing to meet today?"

Chen Yuan did not beat around the bush, but got straight to the point.

"You and I are fated, meeting once or twice can happen, but not thrice. I shall not deliberately conceal myself anymore,"

The Tianxu old Taoist replied with a smile, shaking his head.

Chen Yuan glanced around, flashing his gaze:

"This Qingyun Temple is not simple, is it?"

The Tianxu old Taoist let out a bitter smile, realizing that his roots had been seen through, he stopped hiding, nodding in acknowledgment:

"My Taoist name is Tianxu, from the Taixu Palace, and this place is where I practice cultivation."

Chen Yuan nodded, secretly confirming what he'd thought.

Moluo senior indeed had good judgment.

This place was indeed one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, Taixu Palace.

"I have long admired the name of the Taixu Palace, truly had not expected that such a grand sect of the Ten Great Immortal Sects would have such a sanctuary here in the Divine Capital City."

"You're too kind, Lord Chen. I enjoy bustling places, not secluded cultivation, hence why I practice here."

The real Taixu Palace has indeed declined somewhat in recent years, but it is still one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, not so destitute. My being here is but a journey through the human world.

Just that the journey has lasted a bit longer.

After some idle chatter, the Tianxu old Taoist unintentionally glanced at Chen Yuan again, but this time, he didn't brush over it, instead frowning sharply.

Faintly, as if thinking of something, his pupils shrunk.

"What is senior looking at?"

Chen Yuan frowned again, feeling that the old man's gaze had something wrong.

The Tianxu old Taoist did not answer but instead took out the exotic treasure tortoise shell from his sleeve and gave it a gentle shake, a few Universal Treasure Coins scattered to the ground.

Observing the patterns below, the Tianxu Taoist chuckled, then casually waved to put them away, looked at Chen Yuan's curious expression, and mused:

"No wonder, so that's how it is."

"Senior might as well speak plainly, such ethereal words should be spared."

"I just didn't expect that the current Marquis of Wu'an, famous throughout the world as Demon Sword Chen Yuan, would have... some connection with the former dynasty."

The statement was shocking, Chen Yuan was instantly surprised, yet outwardly he remained unchanged:

"I don't understand what senior means by this."

The Tianxu old Taoist chuckled lightly:

"Rest assured, Lord Chen, I am tight-lipped and won't say anything unnecessary."

"I don't understand what you are saying, senior. So even if it were spoken out, what harm would there be?"

Seeing Chen Yuan's resolute denial, the Tianxu Taoist said seriously:

"If my assumption is not mistaken, the Lord holds a blood-red bead in your possession, right...? It should have been acquired in Liangzhou not too long ago."
