"So, the problem troubling Master is the lack of coordinates for middle thousand worlds?"
Li Xingci pinpointed the crux of the issue.
"Exactly. We need resources equivalent to the normal trading volume of spirit ore from over ten middle thousand worlds," Xu Fan explained.
"Master, if you need coordinates for middle thousand worlds, I can find a way," Li Xingci offered.
Xu Fan was taken aback by his disciple’s words.
"Have you considered exploring the Path of Reincarnation? You might meet many taoist friends who specialize in the Path of Reincarnation there."
"Perhaps you could obtain the coordinates for middle thousand worlds from them," Li Xingci suggested, a sly smile in his eyes.
"You little rascal! Ordinary people can’t just reveal their coordinates; that would incur deep karma," Xu Fan teased.
Li Xingci’s words reminded Xu Fan that the two Quasi-Immortals he controlled might have the coordinates.
With this thought, Xu Fan closed his eyes gently.
In a distant star region, a Universe Ship was swiftly navigating through space.
Song Ming, who was meditating in the resting area, suddenly received a message from Xu Fan.
"The Grand Elder can send a message from such a vast distance; his abilities are truly extraordinary," Song Ming marveled.
"Purchase coordinates from the Spring Blossom Merchant Association; they are prioritized by the rulers of other races."
Song Ming pondered over this message.
After sending a message through his avatar, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, showing signs of fatigue. Projecting his consciousness over such a distance to issue commands was quite taxing.
"Let’s visit the Path of Reincarnation together when we have some free time," Xu Fan suggested after a moment.
Li Xingci nodded, ready to accompany his master at any time.
After spending some time fishing in the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, Xu Fan went to the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation to study the stone teleportation compass.
Half a year flew by, and the first day of the cultivation world tournament arrived.
With all sects eagerly anticipating and the entire cultivation world watching, the competition began.
Six months prior, the entire cultivation world had been informed about this tournament among the top sects.
All cultivators were excited to witness the splendor of the top sects’ sacred lands.
Under the control of the grape, every area with teleportation formations, except for the extremely remote continents without them, could receive signals.
In the most expansive areas of each fairy city, a massive light curtain projected, allowing spectators to watch the competition.
With additional entries from other sects, a total of 108 teams participated, matching the number of the heavenly and earthly spirits.
The competition used a drawing lots system, with the Chief Senior Brothers from each sect deciding the order.
108 different Chief Senior Brothers from the sacred lands stood together in front of the teleportation formation in the Mystical World to draw lots.
At this moment, Xiong Li had a button before him that needed to be pressed by all the sects’ senior brothers before the drawing could commence, determining the competition order.
"I must draw the Elder Council; today we will avenge our past humiliations," Xiong Li said, his fist clenched and one hand hovering above the button.
Only waiting for the countdown to reach zero to press the button.
“Grape, help me calculate how fast they can press the button,” Xu Fan suddenly expressed his interest and instructed.
"At your command, Master."
In Lin Sen Fairy City, a square measuring hundreds of feet in length and width was already filled with spectators watching the battle.
At this moment, the light curtain divided into 108 small screens, each corresponding to a sect’s senior brother drawing lots.
“No wonder they are top-tier sects; even a random selection from here would be a contemporary leader, an existence that has attained immortality and cemented their name in history."
"I recognize the one from the Hidden Spirit Sect; his name is Xiong Li, a powerful being in body refinement. I’ve seen him fight; back then, he was still in the Core Formation stage, battling the beast king against a horde of monsters."
"You don’t have to mention that; everyone in Lin Sen Fairy City knows about those outstanding disciples from the Hidden Spirit Sect."
"That’s right! The Hidden Spirit Sect is our Lin Sen Fairy City’s great benefactor."
As the countdown ended, all 108 chiefs pressed the buttons simultaneously.
Names of all participating sects appeared on the light curtain, which then began to scroll.
Finally, it stopped, and the competition times and rounds for each sect appeared on a list.
The first match: Joyful Union Sacred Land vs. Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect, with 100,000 disciples fully prepared, became excited upon seeing they would make their debut in the first match.
The sect leader of the Demon Sect looked at the 100,000 disciples in the dojo.
"We, the Demon Sect, have always lacked presence in the cultivation world. Today, let’s take this opportunity to show the entire cultivation world the might of our Demon Sect."
"We will not disappoint the sect leader’s expectations!!" the 100,000 disciples of the Demon Sect shouted in unison, creating a sound wave that pierced the sky.
"Enter the teleportation formation of the Mystical World; we must make this first match impressive," the sect leader said, gazing at his disciples.
At this moment, he no longer harbored the same ambitious aspirations as before.
He had once imagined ascending as an Upper Zun, hoping to replace that position.
In his thoughts, with some effort, he should be able to match Ming Kong.
However, unexpectedly, a supreme being appeared out of nowhere, akin to an Upper Zun.
His burning heart was like ice, crushed under the weight of reality.
Now, he had little interest in managing the sect; he only wished to find a gifted disciple to hand the sect over to, hoping to explore the Immortal Realm for opportunities.
Having been suppressed all his life, he wanted to find another place to be constrained; at least the Immortal Realm had a broader scope.
"Joyful Union Sacred Land, a mere minor matter," the Demon Sect leader remarked as he watched teams of disciples pouring into the teleportation formation for the Mystical World.
Meanwhile, in the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan was watching the 100,000 female disciples of the Joyful Union Sacred Land with a unique perspective.
Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one gets a chance to adjust their appearance.
As they progress to the Nascent Soul stage, they take on stunning forms, making all those above the Nascent Soul stage enchanting everyone.
Just imagine, having 90,000 enchanting beauties standing before you—what a feeling that would be!
Cold elegance, nobility, charm, purity, innocence, holiness…
The perfect partners Xu Fan had once imagined in his mind could all be found among these 90,000 female disciples of the Joyful Union Sacred Land.
"It doesn’t seem apparent usually, but when gathered together, they give a different kind of feeling," Xu Fan said while observing the disciples on the light curtain.
In a Mystical World with a diameter of 100,000 miles, two sects gathered 200,000 people.
Just as Xu Fan intended to enjoy watching these beauties fight, he suddenly received a report from Grape that Red Lotus Respected Elder was coming through the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation.
"Taoist friend, there’s been a change; please come with me to the South Mountain Realm!" Red Lotus Respected Elder said with a serious expression, speaking rapidly.
Xu Fan glanced at the light curtain and then at the direction of the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation.
Finally, he sighed and followed Red Lotus Respected Elder into the teleportation formation, heading to the South Mountain Realm.
"What’s going on?" Xu Fan asked.
"Shan Hai, the Supreme Holy Soul has been suppressed by the four supreme beings on the other side!"
