Chapter 879: Threat

Xu Yuexian slowly walked towards the giant spirit tree, as if a mysterious force was drawing her in.

Under the spirit tree, various colors of Little Flower Deer grew, exceptionally gentle and beautiful.

A fragrant spiritual aroma filled the air, penetrating her heart and mind.

The confusion Xu Yuexian faced in her past training unraveled with the spiritual aroma, and in an instant, she felt completely clear and exuded a refreshing aura.

The colorful Little Flower Deer on the ground parted to create a small path for Xu Yuexian.

Dozens of cute little beasts appeared on either side of the path, all curiously gazing at Xu Yuexian.

As she looked at the path leading to the main trunk of the giant spirit tree, Xu Yuexian softly stepped forward.

She walked right up to the trunk of the giant spirit tree.

“Do you want to tell me something?” Xu Yuexian gently placed her hand on the trunk of the tree.

In that moment, complex emotions and information flowed into her.

Xu Yuexian experienced these complex feelings, and a single tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

“You must have been lonely all these ten thousand years!”

It turned out that this giant spirit tree had existed since the birth of the middle thousand world and was the first being to develop intelligence in this realm.

“You want me to stay and keep you company!”

The entire giant spirit tree swayed gently, making a rustling sound, as if to respond to Xu Yuexian.

“No, I have a master and brothers and sisters waiting for me in another world. I cannot stay here with you.”

“But if possible, I can take you away and place you in an interesting place, so you won’t be lonely anymore,” Xu Yuexian looked at the giant spirit tree with hopeful eyes.

Just as she finished speaking, the previously clear sky was suddenly covered by thunderclouds.

Thunder roared, and the entire world seemed to become furious.

At the same time, Xu Yuexian felt a sense of impending danger stir within her.

If she dared to take the giant spirit tree and leave this world, she would fall into a place of irrevocable doom.

“Stay still~”

The voice of Xu Fan’s avatar rang out, and the thunderclouds in the sky instantly dispersed.

“Is this your opportunity?” Xu Yuexian heard Xu Fan’s voice in her mind, as he communicated with her through Grape.

“Yes, this giant spirit tree can actually nurture all beings, and I can sense that she wants to come with me,” Xu Yuexian replied.

“This giant spirit tree has gathered nearly half of this world’s essence. If you take it root and all, this world might regress by several million years,” Xu Fan responded.

“What should I do, Master?”

“I feel that this giant spirit tree is very much in tune with me, and it aligns perfectly with the wide road I’m currently cultivating,” Xu Yuexian said reluctantly.

“It’s not like there’s no way. The Heavenly Way’s Will in this middle thousand world is still childlike; to make it obedient, a little discipline will do the trick,” Xu Fan’s avatar said with a smile.

A void gate appeared beside Xu Yuexian, and Xu Fan’s avatar stepped out from within.

Xu Fan entered the middle thousand world, and it was like pouring cold water into a pot of boiling oil.

The entire middle thousand world began to churn, and the endless celestial might pressed down on Xu Fan’s avatar.

“Back to my old ways, I see~”

Xu Fan raised a hand, the tip of his index finger glowing with an eerie spiritual light.

In that instant, the Heavenly Way’s Will of the little middle thousand world fell silent.

It could sense that with just a single touch from Xu Fan’s avatar, the world it had painstakingly nurtured for so long would be destroyed.

Near the trunk of the giant spirit tree, the woman from earlier reappeared.

She stared at the strange spiritual light on Xu Fan’s avatar’s finger, her eyes filled with terror.

She couldn’t fathom that such a malevolent power existed in this world; to her, Xu Fan’s avatar had become a demon capable of annihilating everything.

“Let’s make a deal: my disciple takes half of the giant spirit tree’s essence and intelligence.”

“In return, I’ll give you the secret techniques for cultivating the world. How does that sound?” Xu Fan’s avatar said with a smile.

He had dealt with many Heavenly Ways before, and Grape had even absorbed one or two, so his database was filled with secret techniques for nurturing worlds, making them stronger.

Upon hearing Xu Fan’s avatar’s words, a large white silkworm appeared before him.

“Why can’t you just turn into a person? Why is it always these odd creatures~” Xu Fan’s avatar muttered to himself.

With his other hand, he conjured a ball of spiritual light and infused it into the silkworm.

“Feel it carefully. If you agree, just nod,” Xu Fan said.

The big white silkworm squinted its eyes, and after a moment, it began to tremble with excitement.

It nodded vigorously at Xu Fan’s avatar.

“The matter’s settled; I’ll leave the rest to you~” With that, Xu Fan teleported back to the Universe Ship.

The big white silkworm vanished in a flash of excitement.

“Can you come with me now?” Xu Yuexian asked gently, addressing the woman made of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy woman nodded, and the giant spirit tree began to slowly split apart.

Xu Yuexian now held a small potted sapling in her hands.

The little sapling swayed happily in the pot, occasionally emitting soft, melodic sounds.

Meanwhile, Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie discovered a valley formed by nine towering sword peaks.

These sword peaks had developed their own intelligence.

Suddenly, nine top-tier Spiritual Swords appeared behind Jian Wujie, resonating with the nine sword peaks.

Above the peaks, nine ethereal images of Spiritual Swords materialized.

An overwhelming sword intent began to gather in the sky, and the nine top-tier Spiritual Swords behind Jian Wujie seemed to be called forth, soaring into the heavens.

“Is this my destiny?” Jian Wujie stared at the sky, awestruck by the immense sword intent.

“It seems so, unless something goes wrong~” Han Feiyu replied calmly.

He felt that aside from his jade gourd, the greatest opportunity lay in the Tree of All Things within the sect—a bond so deep it felt inseparable.

At that moment, the nine Spiritual Swords in the sky formed a gate of sword intent, as if beckoning Jian Wujie to enter.

“Go ahead,” Han Feiyu said, giving Jian Wujie a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

“Senior brother, wait for me~” Jian Wujie flew toward the gate of sword intent.

Xiong Li and Li Lei Hu each found their share of treasures in this world.

Ten days later, the Universe Ship set course for the Feiyu Realm.

“Master, is there a way to get back to the sect faster?” Xu Yuexian asked, gazing into the vast expanse of the star region while holding the potted sapling.

“There is a way, but it’s risky,” Xu Fan’s avatar replied.

“Risky?”

“Is taking a shortcut dangerous?” Xu Yuexian asked, puzzled.

“Random teleportation involves shattering the space of this star region with spatial talismans and initiating teleportation on the Universe Ship.”

“If we’re lucky, we might jump to a spot close to the Feiyu Realm.”

“If not, we could lose our way entirely. Are you willing to take that gamble~?”
