Chapter 855: Trouble for the Bride in the Dream

After Xu Fan sent the young Blood Demon away, he smiled towards the direction of the Blood Demon world.

"Now, upgrading all the spirit ores on Hidden Spirit Island is sorted out."

"From now on, I can just relax and take it easy."

On the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake of the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan and his good brother Wang Yulun were fishing.

"Big Brother Xu, some time ago I caught a mysterious spirit pearl. Just as I was about to keep it, the spirit pearl suddenly broke free and flew into the sky, disappearing," Wang Yulun said.

Xu Fan was surprised and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Four months ago," Wang Yulun replied after thinking for a moment.

Hearing this, Xu Fan realized that this was a reward from his good brother.

It directly gave us two middle thousand worlds, which is truly impressive.

"That spirit pearl didn’t cause any trouble for our Hidden Spirit Sect, did it?" Seeing Xu Fan’s expression, Wang Yulun asked with concern.

"Don’t worry; it just revealed a new middle thousand world coordinate for our Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation, solving the sect’s biggest problem," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"As long as it helps the sect," Wang Yulun nodded.

At that moment, Wang Yulun’s fishing rod suddenly sank, as if he had caught something big.

"Big Brother Xu, guess what treasure I might catch this time!" Wang Yulun said excitedly.

"I think it might be a crab."

As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, a giant crab was pulled up by Wang Yulun.

Seeing this enormous crab, Wang Yulun immediately got excited.

"Big Brother Xu, how about I treat you to this big crab for lunch!" Wang Yulun exclaimed, thrilled that he hadn’t caught live creatures in a long time.

"I’m afraid this one can’t be eaten," Xu Fan replied.

"Can’t be eaten?"

"This is an ancient beast called a Mountain Crab. It’s considered an auspicious beast. Eating it directly could harm our virtue," Xu Fan pointed at the celestial script of the character ‘mountain’ on the crab’s back.

"What should we do with this Mountain Crab? Should we release it or keep it in the sect?" Wang Yulun asked.

"Let’s keep it in the sect. After all, it’s an auspicious beast; it can keep company with that old tortoise," Xu Fan suggested after some thought.

"Alright, let’s do as Big Brother Xu says."

At that moment, the dazed Mountain Crab was carried by a few puppets to the spirit beast garden on Hidden Spirit Island.

"All in all, it counts as something that fell into the sea," Wang Yulun said with a smile.

A flash of sword light shot up from Hidden Spirit Island, racing towards Xu Fan’s direction.

"Your son has come to see you," Xu Fan said with a smile.

A figure landed on the spiritual boat where the two were.

Wang Xiangchi, looking anxious, saluted Xu Fan and said, "Master, while cultivating, I entered a dream and again dreamt of that woman I lived my life with."

"I’m certain that the wife in my dream is real. She left me a message saying she is trapped at the boundary between the Path of Reincarnation and the Inner Realm."

Wang Xiangchi spoke quickly, his expression very agitated.

It was like a 30-year-old virgin finally finding a kind, gentle, and beautiful girlfriend who didn’t demand a house or a dowry.

When Wang Yulun heard the mention of his wife from the dream, he stopped fishing and eagerly turned to his good friend.

Xu Fan stayed silent, carefully observing Wang Yulun and thinking, "This shouldn’t be happening; the timing isn’t right."

Finally, Xu Fan’s gaze settled on the heart-shaped pendant that Wang Xiangchi was wearing.

"Did that woman give you the coordinates for the Path of Reincarnation?" Xu Fan asked patiently.

The boundary between the Path of Reincarnation and the Inner Realm was vast.

"She said it’s near the third gate of the Inner Realm," Wang Xiangchi replied quickly.

Hearing this, Xu Fan glanced at Wang Yulun.

He couldn’t deny the strength of the genes at play here.

Being close to that location surely meant the person was no ordinary figure.

"Don’t rush. I’ll go check it out soon, but before that, let me see the affinity stone you’re wearing on your chest," Xu Fan said, pointing to the heart-shaped pendant around Wang Yulun’s neck.

Without hesitation, Wang Xiangchi took off the pendant and handed it to Xu Fan.

"This is a top-tier affinity stone. Just this small piece could be traded for an immortal ship from the Spring Blossom Merchant Association," Xu Fan remarked, examining the small affinity stone in his hand.

"I caught this the other day. I thought it was just an ordinary affinity stone, but I didn’t expect it to be so valuable," Wang Yulun said happily, his mind now preoccupied with solving his son’s lifelong matter.

"The affinity is good; it’s just that the timing is a bit early."

Xu Fan handed the affinity stone back to Wang Xiangchi.

"Don’t rush. Wait here for me," Xu Fan said before instantly teleporting to the teleportation formation for the Path of Reincarnation.

"If a Golden Immortal were to step into the third step of the Inner Realm, that would be troublesome. If it’s just stepping into the third step of the Path of Reincarnation, that would be a bit easier," Xu Fan muttered as he teleported into the Path of Reincarnation.

Once again, he found himself in chaos. Xu Fan quickly summoned a giant bird and flew at great speed toward the third gate of the boundary between the Inner Realm and the outside world.

Xu Fan pushed his speed to the maximum, encountering countless beings from the Dream World and those who specialize in the Path of Reincarnation along the way.

They looked at Xu Fan with admiration as he dared to fly toward the Inner Realm with just his cultivation at the Great Ascension stage.

As long as one could enter the Path of Reincarnation, any being could step into the Inner Realm.

It only took nine steps to enter the Inner Realm and then nine steps to exit to achieve the Great Luo.

In countless epochs, only one Quasi-Immortal had successfully stepped into the Inner Realm and emerged after nine steps, achieving the Great Luo.

Though successful, there was a gap of several epochs between them.

From that point on, each year, a group of fools below the Golden Immortal stage stepped into the Inner Realm, seeking a sliver of hope.

"Friend, life is precious; do not abandon it!"

"Before you go in, let me keep your worldly possessions safe," a voice from a human cultivator rang in Xu Fan’s ears.

He then heard many similar voices, but Xu Fan paid them no mind, continuing to fly toward the third gate.

The Cycle of Rebirth was enormous; even with Xu Fan’s speed, after various long-distance teleports, it took him a month to reach the boundary area, and that was just the first gate’s location.

Xu Fan gazed at the towering first gate of the entire Cycle of Rebirth, feeling a sense of curiosity.

He wondered if he could accomplish the feat of going in at the Great Ascension stage and coming out as a Great Luo.

"I’ll try again when the opportunity arises," Xu Fan said as he stepped into the first gate.

At the boundary, as long as one hadn’t stepped into the third gate, there was still a chance to exit.

But once stepping into the third gate, the only way out was to achieve the Great Luo.

Along with Xu Fan, there were more than a dozen true immortals or quasi-immortals, all bearing determined expressions.

Xu Fan shook his head at them; considering their understanding of the Path of Reincarnation, they would find it difficult to leave even after entering the first gate.
