Chapter 660: A Wonderful Idea

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, the beast race always referred to Grape as Lord Grape.

In their understanding, spiritual cultivators were also a type of beast race, just existing in a different form.

After discussing with a few beast kings who steered the Star Ship fleet, Xu Fan left.

As Xu Fan was about to return to his courtyard to cultivate, Qiu Ziyuan requested an audience.

“What’s the matter?” Xu Fan asked, noticing the anxious look on Qiu Ziyuan’s face.

“Grand Elder, there’s an issue in Xiangzhou.”

“The Invincible Beast Kings are searching for a teleportation formation, and they’ve already activated it to teleport away.”

“According to our spies within the beast race, this teleportation formation seems to lead to some outer realms. I regret that I failed to disrupt their plan earlier,” Qiu Ziyuan reported.

“A teleportation formation leading to the outer realms? Are you planning to ambush them and block their return path?” Xu Fan asked with a grin.

Qiu Ziyuan scratched his head.

“The Grand Elder once taught us that if the enemy suffers, we benefit. So, I believe it’s necessary to eliminate the beasts and take their treasures.”

“In the past, we might have let it slide, but now our sect has the strength to act,” Qiu Ziyuan said proudly.

As the sect leader of the Hidden Spirit Sect, he was well aware of the sect’s capabilities.

“Do you know when they’ll return?” Xu Fan inquired.

“Probably in a year or two.”

“We still have time.”

Xu Fan smiled, feeling a sudden surge of interest.

“It’s time to get moving.”

In Xu Fan’s courtyard, the four top disciples gathered.

Xu Yuexian had prepared a feast.

“I’m heading to Xiangzhou today. Who’s coming with me?” Xu Fan asked.

All four disciples eagerly volunteered.

“Only three can go; one needs to stay and oversee the sect,” Xu Fan said.

“I’ll stay. I have some unfinished business,” Li Xingci offered.

“Xingci staying is perfect,” Xu Fan nodded.

“Master, should we summon the other disciples?” Grape asked.

“No need, just bring more puppets,” Xu Fan replied after a moment’s thought.

Times had changed. In the past, the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples generally had low cultivation levels, and his presence or absence didn’t make much difference.

After a thousand years, their cultivation had advanced, and nearly every disciple played a crucial role in the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Pulling them away suddenly might leave some areas understaffed.

“As you wish.”

The Star Ship crafted from the materials of the giant beast had become the vessel for Xu Fan and his companions.

The Giant Ship accelerated to full speed and soon entered the Extreme Void Domain.

“Master, how many years do you think it will take for me to become an invincible respected elder?” Xu Gang asked a rather mundane question.

“Wait until you reach the Great Ascension stage, then cultivate for a few hundred years,” Xu Fan replied after a moment of thought.

“When I become an invincible respected elder, will I be as powerful as the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect?” Xu Gang asked again.

“Why do you ask that?” Xu Fan responded, slightly puzzled.

Xu Yuexian and Wang Yulun also turned their attention to Xu Fan.

“Yuexian, don’t think about becoming an invincible respected elder,” Xu Fan said, first addressing Xu Yuexian.

“I knew it~” Xu Yuexian replied with a blank expression, her mind echoing that previous statement.

Why did she ever take that Transformation God Pill? It truly ruined her life.

“Humans have limits. Xu Gang, your limit is roughly at the level of the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect.”

“Once you reach that level, you should be ready to ascend.”

“As for Wang Xiangchi, you have some inner conflicts; just focus on your training, and don’t overthink things,” Xu Fan comforted him.

“Though there may not be any way to improve your realm, did you forget what kind of master I am?”

“We can spend some money, and by then you’ll be equipped with celestial tools, able to contend with several invincible respected elders,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

When one’s realm isn’t enough, spending money can make up for it; this is a constant truth in the cultivation world.

Otherwise, why would artifact great masters be so respected?

“Master, can you help me get a set of treasures like my father’s?” Wang Xiangchi asked eagerly.

“An Artifacts Set won’t help you until you reach the Great Ascension stage. Don’t expect a celestial tool-level set; that’s a privilege only your father can enjoy,” Xu Fan said, rolling his eyes at Wang Xiangchi.

How dare he think he could get something for nothing?

“You’re really nice to my dad~” Wang Xiangchi said somewhat shyly.

Ever since his father got that Artifacts Set, he often came to bully him, claiming it was to improve his fighting strength.

He had just reached the Core Formation stage and was about to surpass his father.

But as soon as that momentum built up, he noticed his father began replacing his equipment with celestial tool-grade parts.

“You don’t know your father’s legendary traits; just accept your fate. Even if you ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, you’ll still be bullied by your father as usual,” Xu Fan laughed.

Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian laughed too, creating a very warm atmosphere.

“Our sect isn’t wealthy enough for that yet; we’ll talk about it when we have the means,” Xu Fan said, looking out at the Extreme Void Domain, treating these disciples like his own children.

He had never let them suffer any grievances.

“Yuexian, when you went treasure hunting and traveling, did you encounter any karmic ties from the upper realms?” Xu Fan suddenly thought of this.

“Yes, but it was very slight. When I was at the sect, I always had a feeling that I needed to go to a certain place, but I held back,” Xu Yuexian replied.

“Do you still feel it now?” Xu Fan asked with interest.

“Yes.”

Then Xu Yuexian pointed in a direction.

Five copper coins appeared in Xu Fan’s hand, and he casually tossed them onto the table in front of him.

Xu Fan glanced at the hexagram on the coins and said, “The Dragon Trap, not much meaning; let’s go directly. It seems the wool of the Immortal Realm isn’t so easy to shear.”

“I understand, Master,” Xu Yuexian said.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly thought of something amusing.

If Xu Yuexian brought Han Feiyu into the Immortal Realm to set up a blind box scheme, that would be interesting.

Xu Fan had reason to suspect that upon entering, they would start questioning life.

As soon as this thought emerged, it became irresistible.

“Should I give it a try?”

This thought kept tempting Xu Fan, but he remembered that laughter from years ago and suppressed it.

Just then, a spark of inspiration suddenly flashed through Xu Fan’s mind.

Damn it, Han Feiyu had a future Han Feiyu watching over him.

Didn’t he have a future self protecting him too?

Xu Fan’s thoughts suddenly opened up; as long as he stayed alive, his future would surely be the highest existence.

By that time, who would fear whom?

Thinking of this, Xu Fan wanted to set plans in motion to realize this wonderful idea, but a voice interrupted him.

“Master, I had a dream some time ago that should be related to the upper realms’ karmic ties.”

“In the past, they wanted to borrow my body to let a certain important figure be reborn, but now it seems their plan has changed.”

“They want me to take care of this reborn important figure,” Xu Yuexian said.
