Chapter 779: Sharing

Everything in the world returned to calm.

“How could the Great Luo have its eyes on the boss?” Xu Fan looked at the realm pearl in his hand.

Numerous karmic threads flashed in Xu Fan’s eyes.

He focused on Xu Gang, who was enduring the thunder calamity tens of thousands of miles away, but couldn’t find a single karmic thread within him.

Following the karmic thread, he connected to Xu Yuexian, who was enjoying herself in the South Mountain Realm.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Xu Fan withdrew.

He had a rough idea of the reason.

Far away from where Xu Fan was, Xu Gang was struggling to withstand the third thunder calamity, with six more to go before the trial ended.

The onlookers witnessing the thunder calamity began to feel anxious.

They were worried about Xu Fan’s situation and whether Xu Gang would survive this intensified thunder calamity.

Xu Fan’s figure appeared behind the crowd.

“Don’t worry, Xu Gang can handle it.”

As soon as Xu Fan spoke, a thunder calamity with a diameter of about ten feet struck down from the sky.

It pierced through all of Xu Gang’s protective powers and struck his body directly.

The crowd turned back in surprise.

“Master, are you okay?” Li Xingci quickly asked.

“Master, if you hadn’t pulled me away just now, I would have almost used my life-or-death divine technique,” Zhou Kailing said from the side.

“Why did that giant hand want to grab Xu Gang?” Spirit Cut asked curiously.

Everyone’s attention focused entirely on Xu Fan.

“Don’t rush, I’ll explain everything when we return. Let’s first see Xu Gang get through the thunder.”

Only then did they turn back, noticing Xu Gang had already collapsed on the ground.

“That little rascal usually relies on his boundless powers and scorns defensive treasures, even too lazy to refine them. Now he’s learning the hard way that pure offense without defense will one day lead to trouble,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Xu Fan pointed out, bringing forth all of the unrefined defensive artifacts on Xu Gang.

“There’s a moment left before the next thunder calamity. Focus on refining these defensive artifacts; I’ll speed things up for you.”

Hearing Xu Fan’s voice, the collapsed Xu Gang instantly sat up cross-legged.

He began refining the floating defensive artifacts at lightning speed.

As the quarter-hour passed, a thick and powerful thunder calamity struck down from the calamity clouds right on schedule.

It seemed intent on completely piercing through Xu Gang.

A giant umbrella unfolded, shielding Xu Gang from above.

“Boom~”

The giant umbrella was forced back into Xu Gang’s body, and while the power of the thunder calamity slightly diminished, it still struck Xu Gang’s protective power directly.

After the fourth thunder calamity, an artifact was destroyed, and Xu Gang’s protective power was split into four layers.

“If the first calamity cloud hadn’t been shattered, Senior Brother could have gotten through just with his protective power,” Zhou Kailing said.

“This shows one thing: we must consider every detail; unexpected events can occur at any time,” Xu Fan stated.

The crowd nodded, feeling as if they had gained valuable wisdom.

While they listened intently, the information became ineffective under human inertia.

With Xu Fan’s assistance, Xu Gang successfully endured the remaining thunder calamities one by one.

Once the thunder calamities had ended, Xu Gang approached the group.

“Master, I have finished crossing the thunder calamity,” Xu Gang said with a bow.

“Not bad. Come here; it’s time for your Junior Brother to face the thunder calamity,” Xu Fan replied.

At that moment, a powerful aura soared from Li Xingci.

The calamity cloud in the sky condensed once more.

Another Ten Thousand Miles of Calamity Clouds formed, perfectly standard.

Unlike Xu Gang, Li Xingci was thoroughly practical.

Defensive artifacts came out one after another, and the whole process was incredibly smooth.

“In the future, learn more from your Junior Brother. Don’t rely solely on your powers; in the end, it’s yourself who will suffer,” Xu Fan advised.

“Disciple understands,” Xu Gang said, feeling ashamed.

“Understand what? Once we return, you will undergo special training. Learning through hardship is the best way,” Xu Fan reprimanded.

Xu Gang’s expression changed instantly; he acknowledged his Master’s special training was effective, but the process felt worse than death.

As the calamity clouds in the sky dissipated, the clear sky returned.

A Void Teleportation Formation quickly formed, conveniently appearing before the group.

On Hidden Spirit Island, in the underground space,

avatar number one held a defective item and sighed.

Seeing Xu Fan appear, he said, “Just now, I thought you were about to achieve transcendence to the Great Luo.”

“At that moment, I wondered, if you became a Great Luo, why would I still be refining this broken celestial tool?”

“However, your choice took me by surprise. Tell me what happened at that time,” avatar number one asked curiously.

He had expected Xu Fan to transcend with his main body, not knowing he had overthought it.

“The rapid increase in realm requires the Taishang Forgetting Emotions; to become an emotionless Great Luo Golden Immortal,” Xu Fan explained.

“I see, that aligns with your choices, but it’s a bit of a pity,” avatar number one said, feeling some regret.

“However, it’s not without benefits; at least now I know the limits of this golden finger.”

“Sigh, if it weren’t for this golden finger limitation, I wouldn’t be so exhausted,” avatar number one lamented.

“You’re thinking too much. Without those limitations, I might have charged straight through; what would I need an avatar for?” Xu Fan chuckled.

"You can’t put it that way; at least we need the avatars to handle some chores,"

"Do you think his avatar has any rights?"

"Like I have any now," avatar number one shot back.

At that moment, Xu Fan looked at the ruined celestial tool accessories made by avatar number one.

"No need to salvage them; let’s just craft new ones," Xu Fan said.

"We should do a reverse recovery; one of the spirit ores in these accessories is quite rare."

Xu Fan examined the ruined celestial tool accessories.

"Why bother with all that trouble?"

The celestial tool accessories slowly rose, as if time was reversing, breaking down into the purest form of spirit ore for celestial tools.

"Amazing! Share your insights on the wide road with me; this technique is really useful," avatar number one said excitedly.

"Of course."

A beam of spiritual light was flicked by Xu Fan into avatar number one’s body.

"Take your time to understand; consider this a break," Xu Fan said as he prepared to leave.

While deep in thought, avatar number one suddenly opened his eyes.

"You can’t take over my break time!" avatar number one declared.

"Dream on~"

Xu Fan disappeared into the underground space.

At the Elder Council headquarters, in the small world where the Ten Thousand Star Ship was docked,

As Xu Fan entered the small world, he saw avatar number two wearing a helmet and playing a game.

Sensing Xu Fan’s arrival, he removed the helmet.

"I knew you’d come looking for me; tell me what happened," avatar number two said, intrigued.

"Great Luo, choice, heartless," Xu Fan lazily uttered six words.

"I see," avatar number two nodded.

Though it was just six words, avatar number two surprisingly grasped the whole situation.

A beam of spiritual light was flicked by Xu Fan, entering avatar number two’s forehead.

"Hurry up and repair the Ten Thousand Star Ship; we have important things to discuss when we get back."
