Chapter 714: Half of the Contribution Points

“Is Elder Ming Kong worried about the arrival of the Golden Winged Roc clone?” Xu Fan asked.

Ming Kong nodded.

“If the Upper Zun doesn’t return, as soon as the Golden Winged Roc clone arrives, no known powerful being from the human race will be able to stop him.”

“This includes the person with a destined fate chosen by the Heavenly Way’s Will in the Human Realm—they haven’t grown strong enough yet,” Ming Kong added.

“If the Ten Thousand Star Ship is repaired, once we locate the area of the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation, we can directly teleport the Ten Thousand Star Ship there. The Golden Devourer Tiger and Purple Jade Flood Dragon won’t stand a chance against it.”

“But since the Ten Thousand Star Ship can’t be repaired anytime soon, it’s certain that one of the two beasts will be guarding the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation, making it nearly impossible to destroy.”

“Even if we pour all our strength into destroying that formation, the human race will still end up at a severe disadvantage.”

Ming Kong carefully explained the importance of the Ten Thousand Star Ship to Xu Fan.

“Actually, there’s another way. If we can locate the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation early and set up a disruption formation, we can redirect the Golden Winged Roc clone’s teleportation to another area,” Xu Fan suggested after a moment of thought.

“Can the grandmaster really set up such a formation?” A glimmer of hope lit up Ming Kong’s eyes.

“It’s possible, but I’ll need to sense the aura of the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation first to set up the right disruption formation,” Xu Fan replied. Though, in his mind, he was thinking about something else entirely.

*My two clones sacrificed themselves to protect the Ten Thousand Star Ship. Shouldn’t you compensate me and settle the remaining payment?*

There was another method, of course—using Time Treasures to push himself to the Overcoming Tribulations stage. Once he survived the Three Tribulations and reached the Great Ascension Master level, a bit of training would be enough to handle the Golden Winged Roc clone.

But he kept that thought to himself, not wanting Ming Kong to think he was boasting.

“Then I’ll leave this matter to the grandmaster. I’ll speed up the search for the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation’s location,” Ming Kong said.

Just then, a young boy appeared beside Ming Kong.

“Shaoyu, take the grandmaster to the Ten Thousand Treasures Realm and see what he needs.”

“On top of the original amount, transfer half of my Contribution Points to the grandmaster,” Ming Kong added after a moment’s thought.

The boy’s eyes widened in shock, and he opened his mouth to protest, but Ming Kong stopped him with a gesture.

“Grandmaster, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll leave you in Shaoyu’s hands,” Ming Kong said.

“Elder Ming Kong, go ahead,” Xu Fan nodded, feeling a small thrill of excitement.

*This is what it means to be at the top of the human race in the cultivation world—straightforward and generous.*

Xu Fan didn’t have a clear idea of how much half of Ming Kong’s Contribution Points amounted to, but he knew it had to be a lot.

Ming Kong nodded, then his form turned transparent and vanished into thin air.

“Grandmaster, please follow me. I’ll take you to the Ten Thousand Treasures Realm to exchange items,” the boy said.

The boy seemed to be communicating with someone.

Soon, a special teleportation formation appeared ahead.

“Let’s go, grandmaster. This is the teleportation formation to enter the Ten Thousand Treasures Realm,” the boy said with a smile.

Xu Fan nodded and followed the boy into the formation.

*I wonder if this Ten Thousand Treasures Realm is anything like the Treasure Vault Small World of our Hidden Spirit Sect?*

With a flash of spiritual light, Xu Fan and the boy appeared in the Ten Thousand Treasures Realm.

“This is a complete small thousand world!” Xu Fan exclaimed in astonishment.

It’s important to note that a complete small thousand world is vastly different from an ordinary small world. A complete small thousand world can be as large as an entire state in the cultivation world, with such a vast expanse that even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator might spend their entire life unable to travel from one end to the other. What truly shocked Xu Fan was that the Elder Council’s treasure vault required such a massive small thousand world.

“It’s not as exaggerated as the grandmaster might think. Some treasures require a special environment for storage, so needing a small thousand world is actually quite normal,” the boy explained, having seen this reaction before.

“Still, it’s a bit over the top,” Xu Fan nodded in agreement.

The boy led Xu Fan into a grand palace bustling with members of the Elder Council exchanging items. In an inner hall, Xu Fan met the security personnel in charge of the vault.

“Grandmaster, just tell him what you’d like to exchange. Your Contribution Points are already registered under your name,” the boy said.

Xu Fan nodded to show he understood.

“Exchange all my points for Time Treasures that embody the wide road of time,” Xu Fan declared, his mind focused on whether this step could help him ascend to the rank of Great Ascension Master.

When the staff member saw Xu Fan’s Contribution Points, his expression shifted dramatically.

“Exchange all of them for Time Treasures containing the wide road of time?” the Ten Thousand Treasures Realm staff member confirmed again.

“All of them,” Xu Fan nodded firmly.

The staff member hesitated, looking conflicted.

“Is there a problem?” Xu Fan asked.

“Senior, your points are enough to exchange for all the Time Treasures in the Ten Thousand Treasures Realm that contain the wide road of time. If you take them all, it could cause difficulties for future exchanges,” the staff member explained.

“In that case, keep the essentials and exchange the rest for me,” Xu Fan said with a smile. He wasn’t picky—any treasure containing the wide road of time would do.

“Thank you, Senior. Since you’re exchanging for so many Time Treasures, we’ll need some time to gather and organize them. Please return in three days to collect them,” the staff member said after some calculations.

Xu Fan nodded, barely containing his excitement, and agreed to return in three days.

As they left the Ten Thousand Treasures Realm, Xu Fan asked the boy about Elder Ming Kong’s Contribution Points.

“Master’s points can exchange for ten percent of the treasures in the Ten Thousand Treasures Realm,” the boy replied.

“I didn’t expect Master to give half of his points to the grandmaster,” the boy added, clearly surprised.

“Elder Ming Kong entrusted me with these points, and it’s my responsibility to ensure they’re put to good use,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

With enough Time Treasures containing the wide road of time, Xu Fan believed he could advance to the rank of Great Ascension Master. Once that happened, dealing with the beast race would be a trivial matter. If Xu Fan could suppress the Invincible Beast King, who ranked among the top ten in the demon race’s fighting strength, the human race would be virtually unbeatable.

Three days later, Xu Fan returned to Hidden Spirit Island. He eagerly entered the small world created by Grape for time acceleration. With a wave of his hand, he arranged various boxes—wooden, stone, jade, ice, and even those sealed with special crystals—into a neat pile resembling a small mountain. The diverse packaging of these Time Treasures expanded Xu Fan’s knowledge of how to preserve such valuable items.

“Grape, hurry up and calculate how much time acceleration these can provide!” Xu Fan said excitedly.
