Chapter 815: Essence

"Senior, this good connection seems a bit too grand," Xu Fan turned to look at his good disciple.

He couldn’t help but look; he feared that if he stared at Mengxin again, he would completely fall for her.

"Believe in yourself; you deserve this," Mengxin’s voice was pleasant, like a gentle neighborly sister.

There was none of that lofty feeling of high dimensionality.

"I accept this goodwill from the senior," Xu Fan said seriously.

Although he could protect Li Xingci, his low cultivation made certain tasks very troublesome.

Unlike this senior, who could accomplish everything with just one word.

"Then we shall meet again if fate allows~" Mengxin said, transforming into colorful spiritual light and disappearing.

The sea of flowers that had evolved in the Dream World also wilted away, creating a sense of melancholy.

"Once a person leaves, you can remove all these flowers."

"This is even faster than a cooling cup of tea."

Looking at the now barren grassland, Xu Fan couldn’t help but complain.

"Mengxin, I wonder what level this senior is at—Great Luo, or even above Great Luo?" Xu Fan said, glancing at his disciple who was undergoing tribulations in the distance.

While he was confident he could reach that level, he estimated it would take epochs of time.

As the last thunder calamity struck down, the calamity clouds in the sky slowly dispersed.

The entire Dream World began to fade.

The two returned to a realm of chaotic reincarnation.

"Thank you for your secret assistance, Master!"

While Li Xingci faced the last few thunder calamities, he felt strained, but for some reason, a strand of spiritual light merged with him, and the power of these calamities inexplicably weakened.

"It wasn’t your Master who helped."

"Then who was that senior?"

"That great being took a liking to your Master, which is why you received this bit of benefit." Xu Fan said with a smile.

"If a senior took a liking to Master, she must be a very powerful female elder," Li Xingci casually remarked.

"Indeed powerful; at least at the Great Luo level," Xu Fan said as he brought Li Xingci back to their respective bodies on the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Star Ship found another small world, vast in size, spanning billions of miles, inhabited by a group of humans, the strongest among them being an invincible respected elder.

Xu Fan learned about what had happened after entering the Cycle of Rebirth.

After observing the small world, he found the spiritual energy more abundant and the wide road laws more complete than in the small world of that Quasi-Immortal.

He couldn’t help but ask curiously, "In such a large small world, can those few invincible respected elders defend it?"

At that moment, a higher-ranked elder was training against the invincible respected elder guarding the small world outside.

"I know this small world has a coalition; our human race is one of the three major forces in the Chaotic Star Region."

"According to Master, there is a corresponding order even in chaotic areas," Zhou Kailing said.

The battle outside had ended, with the higher-ranked elder of the Elder Council gaining a slight upper hand.

The Ten Thousand Star Ship then secured the right to dock in this small world.

"Everyone can disembark and rest; the Ten Thousand Star Ship will remain here for 10 days," Ming Kong’s voice echoed throughout the ship.

Xu Fan led the elders and disciples off the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

Taking a deep breath of the spiritual energy of this realm, Xu Fan couldn’t help but praise, "This truly is a treasure location. The spiritual energy filtered from the star region is incredibly pure. Cultivating here long-term would solidify one’s foundation by at least ten percent."

"This is a unique feature of the small worlds in the Chaotic Star Region; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many beings thriving here," Ming Kong said as he walked beside Xu Fan.

Xu Fan nodded.

"This small world belongs to the Human Alliance in the Chaotic Star Region. Human universe ships can safely dock here as long as they don’t stir up trouble," Ming Kong explained.

"Do we engage in trade here?"

"To some extent, but not extensively. It used to be a dangerous place, and the Upper Zun can’t accompany me every time," Ming Kong clarified.

Not far from where the Ten Thousand Star Ship docked stood a fairy city of the human race.

Xu Fan allowed the disciples to disperse and explore freely.

Feeling the spiritual energy, Xu Fan suddenly felt inspired to enjoy the scenery of this small world.

"Master, why did Senior Xingci suddenly enter seclusion?" Zhou Kailing asked as she walked beside Xu Fan.

"He underwent a tribulation in his dreams and advanced to the Great Ascension stage; now he’s stabilizing his realm," Xu Fan casually replied.

"Senior brother has become a Great Ascension Master!" Zhou Kailing exclaimed with envy.

"Your talents are not lacking either; with a bit more practice, you should have no trouble advancing to the Great Ascension stage," Xu Fan encouraged as he and Zhou Kailing strolled along a main road lined with endless fields of spirit rice, a truly breathtaking sight.

Noticing Zhou Kailing lost in thought, Xu Fan curiously asked, "What are you thinking about? You look so serious."

"Master, when will I be able to fully unleash the spell I created?" Zhou Kailing expressed with a hint of melancholy.

It seemed that the spell she had initially created hadn’t been well utilized by others, nor had she managed to fully employ it herself.

"It’s not the right time yet. Trust me, your spell will prove to be very useful," Xu Fan assured her.

At that moment, lights streaked across the fairy city in the distance; they belonged to farmers cultivating spirit fields.

Nearby, a burly man descended, riding his magical tool.

First, he respectfully bowed to Xu Fan and Zhou Kailing, and then he began spellcasting to irrigate the spirit fields he managed.

"A Golden Core Stage cultivator managing 10,000 acres of spirit fields relies solely on the daily recovery of spiritual energy; that’s quite a challenge," Xu Fan remarked as he watched the cultivator cast spells to irrigate the fields.

At this moment, Zhou Kailing’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master, the first spell I created should have no problem irrigating the spirit fields, right?" Zhou Kailing said excitedly.

"Not much difference; your spell is essentially spirit rain, just different in taste and touch, but the essence remains unchanged," Xu Fan replied, knowing what she meant.

"Essence…" Zhou Kailing fell into deep thought.

"Master, how can one change the essence?"

After a long moment of contemplation, Zhou Kailing asked.

"This will test your understanding of the wide roads; for example…"

As Xu Fan spoke, he drew a stone from a distance, which gradually transformed into wood under the shifting of the wide road laws, eventually becoming a complete wooden block.

"This is changing its essence," Xu Fan said, placing the wooden block into Zhou Kailing’s hands.

"For the spells you create, you don’t need to worry about the essence; having a form, color, and flavor is enough."

"No one will care if the essence is genuine," Xu Fan reassured her.

"Master, your words today have awakened me. Even if it looks similar, different essences mean everything is just an illusion."

"Please teach me, Master!"

Zhou Kailing’s gaze was sincere, her tone resolute.

"Well…"

"If you truly want to transform those essences you’re after, we can discuss it after you reach the Great Ascension stage," Xu Fan pondered before responding.

"Alright, Master," Zhou Kailing said, somewhat disappointed, but now she had a clear goal ahead.

Just then, a crack several hundred miles long appeared in the sky.

A group of alien respected elders rushed in.
