Chapter 686: Three Stone Artifacts

At the top of Hidden Spirit Island, there was a grand formation designed by Xu Fan specifically for his good brother’s stargazing fishing spot.

While fishing, one could enjoy the vast river of stars.

Xu Fan, feeling lazy, directly teleported to the stargazing fishing platform.

At this moment, a big figure and a small figure were both focused intently on their fishing rods.

“Your godfather can catch good things this way, but what can you catch with your method?” Xu Fan said with a smile, looking at Star’s fishing rod.

“I can catch something too!”

Star flicked his fishing rod, causing the fishing line to instantly stretch and begin extending infinitely toward a direction in the Extreme Void Domain.

Before long, the fishing line on Star’s rod suddenly became tight, as if he had caught something.

“Uncle Xu, did you see? I’ve got something!” Star said with a grin.

“You must have hooked a Spirit Ore Star, right?” Xu Fan observed the taut fishing line and said.

“I’m not sure, but I feel it’s a living creature, and it’s pulling on me,” Star replied, effortlessly reeling in the line with one hand while holding his fishing rod with the other.

“A living creature?”

At that moment, Grape’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Master, Hidden Spirit Island is experiencing external interference, and its speed is starting to become unstable.”

As Grape finished speaking, the entire Hidden Spirit Island shook slightly, feeling as if it was being pulled suddenly.

“What have you hooked onto?” Xu Fan asked in shock.

“It seems like a turtle, and it’s quite big, but I think it probably doesn’t taste good,” Star said, glancing toward the direction of the giant snake with a single horn.

When Xu Fan left, he had taken it along as well.

Xu Fan followed the taut fishing line, looking deep into the Extreme Void Domain, suddenly wondering if he had indeed caught that old turtle.

He felt a bit anxious, but the Celestial Turtle on the other end of the line was even more panicked.

He had been foraging in the Extreme Void Domain when suddenly a small iron hook snagged his Turtle Shell.

At first, he tried to break free casually, but then he felt an irresistible force pulling him little by little in a certain direction.

The Celestial Turtle exerted all its strength just to maintain its position, but it couldn’t hold on for long and would soon be pulled by the hook.

“Where did you get that fishing rod?” Xu Fan said in surprise.

The fishing line seemed to be shaking all of Hidden Spirit Island.

“It was caught by my godfather and he gave it to me because he saw I liked it,” Star replied with a smile as he reeled in the line.

As the vibrations of Hidden Spirit Island intensified, Xu Fan said, “Star, maybe we should just let this turtle go. If you pull it over here, the beast race will discover this place, and it will become very troublesome.”

In the past, Xu Fan would have urged Star to eat that turtle.

But there were important matters ahead, and it was not the right time to expose themselves.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Uncle Xu,” Star agreed.

Little Star waved her small hand, and the taut fishing line instantly snapped back.

Hidden Spirit Island returned to its usual state.

The Celestial Turtle that had been hooked was freed and quickly swam away in the opposite direction, as if fleeing from a predator.

At that moment, Wang Yulun, who was sitting beside Little Star, slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at Little Star and Xu Fan and asked, “What happened while I was meditating?”

“Dad, I caught a little turtle, but then I listened to Uncle Xu and let it go,” Little Star said cheerfully, her joy evident as she sat next to Wang Yulun.

“Good girl, listening to Uncle Xu is always the right thing to do,” Wang Yulun said, gently patting Little Star’s head.

Xu Fan watched the heartwarming scene with a touch of envy.

After all, that little girl was an incredibly powerful ancient creature, capable of standing up to even the old turtle.

Meanwhile, Fierce White, perched on Xu Fan’s shoulder, grew tense upon seeing the little girl. It stretched its neck and took on a defensive stance.

It was only then that Little Star noticed Fierce White.

“Oh, there’s a Little Bai Bai here!” Little Star exclaimed with delight.

“What’s a Little Bai Bai?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

“A Little Bai Bai is just a Little Bai Bai! My parents were always searching for one but never found it,” Little Star explained, tilting her head to look at Fierce White on Xu Fan’s shoulder.

“Is this Little Bai Bai powerful?”

“What did your parents want it for?” Xu Fan asked, intrigued, hoping to finally uncover Fierce White’s true nature.

“I’m not sure, but I know this is a Little Bai Bai,” Little Star replied confidently.

“…”

Her explanation left Xu Fan feeling like he’d learned nothing new.

“Fierce White seems really scared of you,” Xu Fan remarked, observing Fierce White’s defensive posture.

Just then, Little Star suddenly clutched her head and shook it.

“My inheritance memories aren’t fully absorbed yet. This Little Bai Bai must be very important to our kind, but I can’t remember why,” Little Star said, frowning in frustration.

“Alright,” Xu Fan said, a bit disappointed.

At that moment, Wang Yulun pulled out a stone box about ten feet square from his spatial storage and handed it to Xu Fan.

“Big Brother Xu, I can’t figure out what’s inside this stone box. Can you take a look?” Wang Yulun asked.

Xu Fan waved his hand lightly, and the contents of the stone box flew out.

Inside were a stone knife, a stone tower, and a stone door.

“These three items are intriguing,” Xu Fan said with interest.

Anything that even he couldn’t fully understand had to be significant.

Xu Fan placed his hand gently on the stone tower, which was nearly ten feet tall, and began to examine it carefully.

After a while, he concluded that it was just an ordinary stone tower, and the other two items were similarly unremarkable.

“Star, do you recognize these things?” Xu Fan asked.

Little Star shook her head, showing no recognition or interest.

Xu Fan gripped the stone knife and slashed it toward the grand formation.

A blade of pure wind pressure shot out, traveling thousands of meters before dissipating.

Xu Fan then took out a Spiritual Sword and handed both the stone knife and the Spiritual Sword to Little Star.

“Do me a favor, Star. Clash the stone knife and the Spiritual Sword together with all your strength,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“But I want a bag of Hundred Spirit Fruit Candy made by you,” Little Star said, tilting her head thoughtfully.

“Too small-minded! It’s just Hundred Spirit Fruit Candy, right?

I’ll have the top Gourmet Disciple in the sect make it for you. I promise it’ll taste even better than mine,” Xu Fan said, his eyes narrowing with amusement.

The gourmet division was a unique part of the Hidden Spirit Sect, with only two disciples.

Their philosophy was to use food as a substitute for pills, allowing for fast cultivation without the toxicity of pills.

However, over the years, while their food had become increasingly delicious, its effectiveness in replacing cultivation pills remained minimal.

“Really? Thank you, Uncle Xu!”

Little Star took the stone knife and the Spiritual Sword from Xu Fan and prepared to smash them together with all her might.

“Wait a second!”

Xu Fan waved his hand, and a teleportation formation appeared beneath the three of them, instantly transporting them to one of the sect’s highest-security training grounds.
