Chapter 650: The Small World of Spiritual Liquid

Xu Fan strolled through Hidden Spirit Island, feeling exceptionally joyful.

It was as if all his worries had vanished upon waking up.

The Tianji Turtle followed Xu Fan, matching his leisurely pace.

“It’s been a thousand years, yet you’re still so big,” Xu Fan remarked to the Tianji Turtle, feeling as if his years of care had been for nothing.

The Tianji Turtle rolled its eyes at Xu Fan and continued its own little walk.

“Master, Feiyu set out on his travels a hundred years ago; I don’t know when he’ll return,” Wang Xiangchi said.

“True, a person with a destined fate like him can’t possibly stay in one place forever,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

“I’ve noticed your progress in the Sword of the Heart over the years.

“However, there’s still a lingering worry in your heart, one that was there back when you were in the Golden Core Stage.”

“I thought, with the passage of time, you would let it go.

“But it seems you haven’t,” Xu Fan said, gazing at Wang Xiangchi.

Having awakened as a Core Formation stage cultivator, Xu Fan’s perspective had naturally reached a new level.

To him, among his disciples, Wang Xiangchi was the only one with a flaw in his cultivation.

“Wasn’t the life your junior brother arranged for you back then quite fulfilling?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

“That life was beautiful, but the longer I live, the more I sense the presence of the wife who was meant to be with me for life,” Wang Xiangchi replied after a long silence.

“It’s all your junior brother’s fault. He took a perfectly good dream reincarnation technique and added Other Shore Flowers to enhance its effect for you.

“I’ve divined your marriage fate before; I didn’t mention it back then, fearing you’d overthink it.

“Now it seems, even if I hadn’t said anything, you’d still feel this way.”

Xu Fan’s words left Wang Xiangchi stunned, and he excitedly asked, “Master, will I meet my wife from the dream again?”

“I can’t predict that, but I think what you should focus on now is to practice hard and strive to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

“Your wife is likely in that upper realm,” Xu Fan said.

“In the Immortal Realm?” Wang Xiangchi’s tone carried the feeling of being deeply in love but unable to meet.

“Yes, so you need to cultivate diligently. Otherwise, when you reach the upper realm, your wife might be stronger than you. Then, one-third of my disciples would be living off their wives, and I can’t afford to lose face,” Xu Fan said as he walked ahead, ignoring Wang Xiangchi.

Over a thousand years, Hidden Spirit Island had changed significantly; for one, the waterfall in the sky that resembled the Milky Way had disappeared.

“Grape, how did such a large spiritual liquid waterfall just vanish?” Xu Fan asked while gesturing by the spiritual liquid lake.

“The foundation of Hidden Spirit Island carries a vast space, and all the spiritual liquid gathered by the sect’s Spirit Gathering Formation flows there,” Grape explained.

“Distribute a little of that spiritual liquid and bring back the waterfall; otherwise, the entire spiritual liquid lake looks too calm,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master.”

A waterfall of spiritual liquid fell from the sky, creating gentle ripples across the spiritual liquid lake.

Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction, just as a streak of light rushed towards him.

“Grand Elder, you’ve finally woken up!” Master Qianling exclaimed excitedly.

“Respected Elder, it’s been a thousand years since we last met. Your strength has improved greatly,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“It’s been a thousand years, after all. Even without much effort, there should be some progress,” Master Qianling replied, smiling and looking at Xu Fan with excitement.

“Over the past thousand years, I, along with our leader, have searched the entire cultivation world but couldn’t find a way to break the nightmare illusion. I feel truly ashamed.”

“The power of nightmares doesn’t belong to this realm, so naturally, no solution can be found here.”

“Thank you, Grand Elder and Respected Elder, for all your hard work over these years,” Xu Fan quickly added.

During his time in a coma, Qianling Sect had put in a lot of effort.

Even the Grand Elder of Heavenly Spirit Sect had made several trips for Xu Fan’s sake. After all, he was one of the few top invincible respected elders in this realm.

“It was the least we could do. If it weren’t for the Grand Elder refining this celestial tool, our leader and sister-in-law wouldn’t have come together,” Master Qianling said with a smile.

“What happened?” Xu Fan hadn’t yet shared the memories of the past thousand years with Number One and Number Two.

“Back then, Grand Elder Number One refined a celestial tool for both our leader and sister-in-law, and I suggested something at the start.”

“I thought it would be best to combine the two celestial tools to create even greater power.”

As he spoke, a proud smile spread across Master Qianling’s face.

From his expression, Xu Fan could tell that Master Qianling had gained quite a bit from this.

“Then, because of that great battle, our leader and sister-in-law were forced to fight side by side.”

“When they worked together, they discovered that the two celestial tools could combine into a yin and yang battle formation, which was incredibly effective against the giant beast.”

“After the battle, with the Elder Council’s help, they held their cultivation partner ceremony,” Master Qianling said with a smile.

“What did you get out of it?” Xu Fan couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“Our leader doesn’t dare to boss me around anymore!”

“……” That’s a pretty low bar.

“Grape, pick a celestial tool from the treasury as a gift for Xu Gang to deliver to the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect and sister-in-law,” Xu Fan said.

“Grand Elder, that’s already been taken care of. You don’t need to go to such trouble,” Master Qianling quickly replied.

“That was from the Hidden Spirit Sect. This is from me personally,” Xu Fan said.

The Avatar Jade Talisman from Master Youming had saved the Hidden Spirit Sect, and Xu Fan felt he had to repay that kindness.

A black-and-white jade bottle appeared before Xu Fan, radiating a harmonious yin and yang energy.

“The Great Yin-Yang Bottle can transform an area into a yin and yang realm, trapping enemies and sealing spaces. It works best when controlled by two people to maximize its power.”

“This was refined by Number One 500 years ago and took six years to complete,” Grape explained.

“This one will do. It’s perfect for the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect and sister-in-law to use,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Master Qianling looked on with envy, sensing the extraordinary power emanating from the celestial tool.

“Respected Elder, don’t you already have enough celestial tools for your journey to the upper realm?”

“Magical treasures are only useful if they suit you. Otherwise, no matter how many you have, they won’t do much,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

“I know, but no one ever thinks they have too many celestial tools,” Master Qianling said, eyeing the Great Yin-Yang Bottle in Xu Fan’s hands.

Xu Fan gave Master Qianling a look.

“Grand Elder, I came here to ask for your help,” Master Qianling said.

“What could possibly be beyond the Grand Elder’s capabilities?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.
