Chapter 673: Fishing Under the Stars

At this moment, that unreliable sister was practicing battle formation combinations with tens of thousands of third-generation disciples under Grapes’ arrangement.

"Is the battle formation in our sect really this simple?"

"The large three-three system, the small three-three system, the collective three-three system—this is so boring," Li Lei Hu said, wielding a giant blade.

"The wide road is the simplest. Though the battle formation is simple, I feel its meaning has endless variations."

"Killing enemies, launching assaults, defending, retreating—it’s as comprehensive as it can be," Lin Mo Wan remarked.

"I think Senior Sister is right," Eryuan chimed in from the side.

"I feel that with my strength, facing a beast race of the same level is a breeze."

"Even if we encounter a higher-level one, with the three of us cooperating, we could easily take them down," Li Lei Hu declared, swinging his giant blade.

"What if we encounter an even higher level, a beast king?"

"That’s why it’s best to focus on learning this sword formation from Grapes," Lin Mo Wan said, glancing up at Li Lei Hu.

She knew that once the grand formation above the sect was completed, it would be time for them to venture into the demon race.

"Brother Lei Hu, I heard this time, those from the Outer Sect will also participate, led by your old rival."

"You need to show your best performance; don’t dampen the spirit of us third-generation disciples," Eryuan said.

Upon hearing Eryuan’s words, Li Lei Hu fell silent, sensing a wave of pressure.

Although both sides had always been subtly comparing themselves, Li Lei Hu felt that while he enjoyed the resources of the inner sect, his lifelong enemy was keeping pace with him.

This felt like a hidden pressure weighing down on him.

So, when his rival was mentioned, Li Lei Hu felt a mountain of stress.

"As the Chief Disciple of the third generation, I summon all third-generation disciples to the trial world to study battle formations," Li Lei Hu announced to the sky.

He held a position of authority among the third-generation disciples with certain privileges granted by Grapes.

"The summons have been issued," Grapes’ voice echoed.

"Grapes, when do you anticipate the Grand Elder’s formation will be completed?" Li Lei Hu asked.

"Expected completion is in three months."

"Alright, all third-generation disciples will concentrate on their studies for three months."

Lin Mo Wan and Eryuan both looked at Li Lei Hu with smiles on their faces.

They knew this little tiger’s fighting spirit had been ignited.

"Sister Mo Wan, have you noticed? When Brother Li Hu gets serious, he’s quite handsome," Eryuan whispered with a smile.

"He’s starting to show a bit of masculinity."

As the formation on Hidden Spirit Island gradually became complete, the entire sect fell into a calm state, as if nurturing their strengths and awaiting the time for battle.

Three months later, the grand formation was completed as scheduled.

At this moment, in the main hall of Hidden Spirit Sect, everyone was examining a map together.

"Grand Elder, I don’t think we need to look for trouble with other beast races,"

"The Purple Jade Flood Dragon is an ancient creature, but it has many affiliated races under its command."

"Let’s target those affiliated races," Spirit Cut said excitedly from the side. Since he reached Great Ascension Master, he hadn’t fought in a long time.

"Among those affiliated races, there aren’t many large clans, but they are still our targets."

"However, we should focus on the beast race with invincible respected elders among them; that way, we can truly hurt the beast race," Xu Fan said, looking at the relatively complete demon race map obtained from the Elder Council.

"This time, we’ll bring all our belongings and aren’t afraid of consumption; we will use war to sustain war," Xu Fan said.

"Our first target in the demon race will be the largest clan under the Purple Jade Flood Dragon, the Purple Flame Snake Tribe."

"According to the intelligence from the Elder Council, the Purple Flame Snake Tribe has seven beast kings and one Invincible Beast King."

"We need to strike hard at first, then gradually wear them down," Xu Fan pointed at a spot on the demon race map and said.

Amid the anticipation of all the disciples from the Hidden Spirit Sect, the entire Hidden Spirit Island teleported into the demon race and then became invisible in the Extreme Void Domain, flying towards the planned location.

"Why does the star sea in the Extreme Void Domain of the demon race look similar to ours?" On top of a peak on Hidden Spirit Island, Wang Xiangchi asked.

"These rivers of stars, according to our master, might be reflections and do not truly exist in this realm," Li Xing Chi explained beside him.

"A distant point of light represents a world like the Immortal Realm."

"That’s why the saying is true: one flower, one world; one star, one world," Li Xingci said, gazing at the sky.

"Recently, my father adopted a goddaughter; have you met her?" Wang Xiangchi casually mentioned.

"I have seen her. Master said your god-sister is an ancient creature; you can get to know her when you have time," Li Xingci replied with a smile.

"No need to get to know her; just having a father is enough," Wang Xiangchi said, glancing at Li Xingci and then breaking into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I’m laughing because the feelings from childhood haven’t changed."

"I was small back then, and you were just six. For some reason, whenever I held your hand, it felt so warm."

"Later, I realized that it is called a blood connection."

"At first, I thought it was impossible, but when I advanced to Nascent Soul Stage, I discovered you really are my brother."

"Isn’t this a twist of fate?" Wang Xiangchi said.

"All of this is in the past; it is all behind us," Li Xingci replied calmly.

"I know it’s in the past, but the fact that you are my brother will never change, so give me a call for brother now and let me hear," Wang Xiangchi teased.

Li Xing Chi just gave Wang Xiangchi a glance and transformed into a puff of black mist, disappearing.

"Calling for brother is fine too!" Wang Xiangchi shouted into the air.

The only response he got was the faraway glimmering star rivers.

"We can go back and report to father now," Wang Xiangchi said as he stood up and dusted off his hands.

At the edge of Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan was fishing with a big and small rod.

Xu Fan looked a bit nervous until he sensed that the fishing hook in Wang Xiangchi’s hand had entered an unknown space, and then he relaxed.

As for the small rod in Xing’s hands, it was only for decoration.

"Stargazing fishing, this is my first time; it’s quite interesting," Wang Yulun said with a smile.

"Is cultivating here faster than at the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake?" Xu Fan asked with a grin.

It’s good that his good brother’s cheat hasn’t disappeared.

"It’s a bit faster than before, but it’s also a bit more challenging," Wang Yulun replied.

"That’s obvious; the environment is different," Xu Fan laughed.

Just then, the fishing rod in Wang Yulun’s hand suddenly dipped, almost pulling him over.

Fortunately, Xu Fan reacted quickly and used spiritual energy to stabilize Wang Yulun.

"We’ve got a big catch this time!" Wang Yulun exclaimed excitedly.

"Dad, do you need help?" Xing asked nearby, holding her small fishing rod.

"No, I’m good alone," Wang Yulun replied, pulling hard on the rod with all his strength.

Xu Fan looked at the bend of the fishing rod, thinking to himself whether he should specially craft a celestial tool-level fishing rod for his good brother.
