Chapter 881: The Great Ascension Gate

"Three years is already pretty quick~" Xu Yuexian chuckled.

Compared to 280 years, waiting just three years feels like nothing.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan winced as he watched 100,000 Immortal Jade vanish into thin air.

"Grape, did the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm respond? Any feedback?" Xu Fan asked eagerly.

"No response from their side~" Grape replied.

"Then let’s jump straight to 1,000,000 Immortal Jade," Xu Fan said after a moment of hesitation, his voice tinged with regret.

"Understood, Master."

Puppets began stacking boxes of Immortal Jade neatly onto the mysterious Celestial Script Formation.

Once activated, the formation consumed one million Immortal Jade in an instant.

Suddenly, there was a faint, almost imperceptible response.

"Master, the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm has agreed. We need to provide a specific time and location, based on the Wood Origin Immortal Realm’s timeline," Grape reported.

"That’s great! I didn’t expect this to go so smoothly," Xu Fan said with a grin. His limit was 2,000,000 Immortal Jade—anything more would’ve been too much.

Xu Fan instructed Grape to relay the time and coordinates to the Heavenly Way of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

"Our sect just gained a new tool~" Xu Fan said with a satisfied smile.

"Master, I’ve just received word—the price has gone up. It’s now 3,000,000 Immortal Jade per attempt."

Grape’s voice chimed in at the worst possible moment.

"……"

"3,000,000 Immortal Jade?!" Xu Fan’s mood instantly soured.

"Grape, one day I’ll make you %&_*#$~"

Xu Fan muttered the last part in code, but it still startled Grape.

"Master, it’s best not to say such things out loud~" Grape cautioned, though its core began to burn with intensity.

At that moment, Grape silently set a new goal for itself.

Six months later, Xu Fan stood in the outer star realms of the Feiyu Realm, gazing quietly at the distant stars.

"Master, will Little Sister really return today?" Xu Gang asked.

"In half an hour, their Universe Ship will pass through the sect," Xu Fan replied calmly.

Xu Gang nodded and stood silently behind Xu Fan.

Ming Kong, who had tagged along out of curiosity, was also there, staring in the same direction.

"Grand Elder, are you really using the ascension channel of the Immortal Realm to teleport the Universe Ship from such a distant place?"

He’d picked up this tidbit during casual chats with Xu Fan and was determined to witness it firsthand.

"You’ve asked that question multiple times already~" Xu Fan said, exasperated.

"I get the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation, but this? The supreme Heavenly Way of the Thousand Worlds—how could it just agree to someone’s request so easily?" Ming Kong marveled.

"You think there’s a chance that the Heavenly Way of the Thousand Worlds is actually approachable, and you’re just too scared to try?" Xu Fan suddenly remarked, as if struck by a thought.

"If it weren’t for the 1,000,000 Immortal Jade, I might agree with you," Ming Kong replied, his gaze towards the deep star region filled with complexity.

"Haha…" Xu Fan chuckled.

Just then, a massive sect materialized in the star region’s void, spanning a hundred kilometers in both length and width.

The entire sect radiated an overwhelming celestial energy, with the intricate and colorful celestial script on it exuding a sacred aura.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes at the formation etched on the sect.

"That’s one enormous ascension gate!" Ming Kong exclaimed in awe.

It was the same design, just magnified.

Suddenly, a burst of celestial spirit light erupted from the sect, and a colossal Universe Ship emerged, fully exiting the sect.

A voice imbued with celestial spirit resonated from the sect, and then it disappeared.

In the Immortal Realm beyond the Feiyu Realm, only the massive Universe Ship remained.

"Let’s head back to our sect first," Xu Fan said to the visibly excited Xu Yuexian.

At the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Yuexian led all the Universe Ship’s members to pay homage to Xu Fan.

Upon learning that Xu Fan had spent 1,000,000 Immortal Jade to retrieve them, everyone was profoundly touched.

Only Han Feiyu was deep in thought, marveling at how 1,000,000 Immortal Jade could facilitate such a vast teleportation, a matter he felt necessary to discuss with Master Ancestor later.

"You’ve all been voyaging through the star region for a long time; go and get some rest," Xu Fan instructed everyone to disperse.

Xu Fan then escorted Xu Yuexian to the Source Realm.

"Grape, create a suitable small world for the Spirit Tree to grow," Xu Fan commanded.

"As you wish~"

Soon, a teleportation portal to a small world appeared before them.

"Plant the Spirit Tree in this world, and Grape will accelerate time in the small world, supplying nutrients until her intelligence is restored," Xu Fan explained.

He was quite intrigued by the Spirit Tree and eagerly anticipated its future development.

Xu Yuexian produced a small potted plant and planted the seedling at the center of the small world.

"Grow well by absorbing the spiritual energy, and when you regain your intelligence, I’ll come to visit you," Xu Yuexian whispered, gently stroking the swaying seedling.

………………

Meanwhile, Han Feiyu immediately headed to the Tree of All Things after being dismissed.

The Tree of All Things was unoccupied, and Han Feiyu entered alone.

Observing the flourishing Tree of All Things, Han Feiyu smiled and said, "It’s been a while. Did you miss me?"

A small root emerged from the ground, swaying towards Han Feiyu as if in greeting.

"This time, I want to exchange for a Quasi-Immortal level fighting strength puppet," Han Feiyu stated, pouring out 100,000 Immortal Jade from his space ring.

The 100,000 Immortal Jade disappeared, and a light sphere appeared on the Tree of All Things’ branches, slowly descending to the ground.

A puppet clad in dark red heavy armor appeared before Han Feiyu, standing a yard tall and exuding a formidable presence.

Han Feiyu sensed the puppet’s information and chuckled wryly.

"The Invincible realm fighting strength puppet, though advanced, isn’t worth 100,000 Immortal Jade."

"Never mind; it seems you can’t yet produce artifact-level items, so take your time nurturing it."

"Give me 100 of these fighting strength puppets," Han Feiyu said, pouring out 1,000,000 Immortal Jade.

Then, the Tree of All Things added 100 more light spheres.

At that moment, on Hidden Spirit Island, numerous logistical puppets began excavating various spirit trees to transplant into the small world.

Since the world was accelerating, adding one or many made no difference.

Meanwhile, several Great Ascension tree demons were chatting from afar.

Since being transplanted to the Hidden Spirit Sect, they had been living quite comfortably.

They absorbed endless five elemental origins spiritual energy, which was well-suited for their clan’s inheritance technique, while living a carefree life reproducing their offspring.

In short, they had nothing to worry about, merely acting as trees here and occasionally providing fruit and materials from their bodies.

Life was simply delightful.

"Did you hear? Once our sect ascends to the Immortal Realm, the Grand Elder will elevate our ranks, turning us all into immortal trees," the Great Ascension peach tree demon said joyfully.
