Chapter 511
by fanqienovelChapter 511: The Sad Xu Fan
Xu Fan poured the five elemental origins from the jade bottle.
The five elemental origins transformed into five colorful dragons in the air, flying into the solidifying small world.
In an instant, the opening connecting the passage began to shrink further.
However, the combat backlash coming from the two realms’ passage grew stronger, even threatening the small world.
“No wonder he is the Invincible Respected Elder; this combat backlash is truly astonishing,” Spirit Cut remarked beside him.
“Are you sure we shouldn’t be worried about what will happen if the two realms’ passage isn’t closed in time?”
“The Avatar Jade Talisman of the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect can only hold for an hour,” Xu Fan replied, feeling some tension despite usually being calm.
If the Grand Elder’s Avatar couldn’t stop that Invincible Beast King, all the effort Xu Fan had put in over the years would be for nothing.
At that moment, a voice reached Xu Fan’s ears.
“Grand Elder, that Invincible Beast King is here for a treasure.”
Hearing this from the Grand Elder, Xu Fan realized that the Invincible Beast King was indeed after the Xuanhuang Stone.
“There’s one more thing, Grand Elder; I can’t hold on much longer and can only last for half a breath. You’d better make plans quickly.”
The Grand Elder’s Avatar sounded helpless, having thought he could turn the situation around but ran into an equal match. If the true form came, it might be manageable, but as things stood, he was struggling.
“Thank you for your trouble, Grand Elder,” Xu Fan responded.
“Master, is it that we can’t hold on over there?” Li Xingci said, watching Xu Fan’s expression.
At this moment, everyone looked toward Xu Fan.
As they arrived, they were ready with a retreat plan, fully prepared for the worst.
“It’s nothing; I’m just feeling sorry for some things,” Xu Fan said softly, with a hint of sorrow in his tone.
Ye Xiaoyao had caused such a mess, not only turning his best friend’s luck into bad luck but, more importantly, if he wasn’t careful, the mortals he protected would likely be slaughtered by the beast race.
A Merit and Fortune Aura appeared behind Xu Fan.
The Merit and Fortune Aura now shimmered in multicolors, and once it solidified a bit more, it could become an unmatched treasure that suppresses a sect or fairy nation.
Seeing the Merit and Fortune Aura behind Xu Fan, everyone understood what he intended to do.
“This is indeed heartbreaking,” Spirit Cut remarked, knowing how difficult it was to gather something like this.
“Whatever must come must come; whatever must go must go.”
Xu Fan muttered as he formed hand seals.
In an instant, everyone felt a sense of joy and peace, an indescribable feeling rising from their hearts.
The Merit and Fortune Aura flew above the small world and exploded.
It transformed into blossoms of spiritual energy, scattering across the small world.
The small world began to solidify at an astonishing speed, while the two realms’ passage shrank rapidly.
In less than half a breath, it completely disappeared.
Everyone sighed in relief and then looked up at the Merit and Fortune Aura, which had become an ethereal shadow, nearly vanished, feeling a bit melancholic.
“Grand Elder, thank you for your help for the cultivators of Lin Sen Fairy City and those civilians,” Ning Dao comforted, knowing Xu Fan was certainly heartbroken at this moment.
“Thank you, Brother Ning, for your comfort. I just want to be alone for a while,” Xu Fan sighed, feeling another trump card slipping away from his hands.
“You all go back; I’ll stand here for a bit,” Xu Fan said quietly, gazing at the small world ahead.
“Grand Elder, old things must go for new ones to come. You just need to let it go.”
“Master, I will surely work hard to accumulate merit for you and help you condense that Merit and Fortune Aura again,” Xu Gang said, saddened to see his master in distress.
“Master, I will go out and help you find that treasure of merit, so we can condense the Merit and Fortune Aura once more,” Xu Yuexian added.
At that moment, Li Xingci took out a plain stone sword and said to Xu Fan, “Master, this is the fortune treasure of my future father-in-law’s sect, I hope it is useful to you.”
“Just absorb it for yourself.”
At this point, Wang Xiangchi felt a bit awkward. His senior brothers had used their strengths to comfort the master, while it seemed he had nothing to offer.
“Master, should I play you some soothing music? I hope it can lighten your mood a bit,” Wang Xiangchi said hesitantly.
“Master, why don’t you release a Grand Feast at the Celestial Palace on me again? It might make you happy,” Zhou Kailing suggested.
“Haha, I’m not a kid anymore; I don’t need all this comforting,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.
Xu Fan felt much better after his disciples’ comforting words.
“Little Wu, you just promised to speak sincerely. I wonder if you can handle this Grand Feast at the Celestial Palace I’m about to unleash,” Xu Fan joked.
He sensed that among the disciples, little Wu was the toughest on him.
Zhou Kailing’s expression changed, and she said fearfully, “Master, I was just trying to comfort you earlier.”
“In that case, I’ll remember this,” Xu Fan said with a grin.
At this moment, the essence of the grape and the Source Realm had already been fixed there.
“Grape, this will be the second branch of the Hidden Spirit Sect. Please build it up,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Yes, master,” Grape replied.
After Xu Fan finished speaking, he led everyone back to Hidden Spirit Island.
Hidden Spirit Island flew toward the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake.
In the main hall of Qianling Sect, the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect paused while condensing his Avatar Jade Talisman.
“What’s wrong, big brother?” the Third Grand Elder of Qianling Sect asked, noticing something was off.
“My Avatar Jade Talisman was used by the Grand Elder,” the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect said.
“And then? Are you going to send another one?” the Third Grand Elder asked.
“This Avatar Jade Talisman has barely condensed halfway. I remember a thousand years ago, I gave you an Avatar Jade Talisman; if it’s not in use, just bring it out,” the Grand Elder replied lightly.
“Big brother, what kind of logic is there in retrieving something you’ve given away?” the Third Grand Elder said angrily.
“Don’t say too much; you’re always by my side. How much danger could there possibly be?”
“Anyway, I can give you another one later,” the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect replied nonchalantly.
“Don’t forget, as we ascend to the Thousand Worlds, we need to help each other out,” the Grand Elder said, glancing at the Third Grand Elder.
“It’s not a big deal; it’s just an Avatar Jade Talisman,” the Third Grand Elder laughed, taking out the Avatar Jade Talisman.
“I’ll first refine it a bit to increase this Avatar Jade Talisman’s power.”
“Who would have thought that the Grand Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect could stir up trouble on such a level, attracting a presence as formidable as the Invincible Beast King? Luckily, nothing happened; otherwise, a future artifact great master would be lost.”
As he spoke, the Grand Elder continued refining the Avatar Jade Talisman.
“Third Brother, what’s the matter?” Master Qianling rushed in eagerly.
