Chapter 887: Ti Zi

For his good friend, Xu Fan spent a day as a counselor, delivering a meaningful lesson.

In the underground space, Xu Fan stood before the core of Hidden Spirit Island, sensing the immense energy within, and couldn’t help but feel moved.

"Now we have the means to challenge the Golden Immortals. After stabilizing for a while, once Hidden Spirit Island is fully refined, it will be ready for complete activation."

The core of Hidden Spirit Island was a massive sphere, one thousand feet in diameter, embodying yin and yang, much like a three-dimensional bagua.

The black and white sphere shimmered with countless celestial scripts, which upon closer inspection, formed chains that spiraled around the sphere.

A jade-green spiritual mist rose from Xu Fan’s hand, the last of his Heavenly Way’s Will source.

With his other hand, he gently held a small intelligent celestial tool.

Watching from the shadows, Grape suddenly felt what it was like to experience a mortal’s heartache.

Why was the master doing this? Did it mean he no longer cared for Grape?

"Grape, from now on, this will be your brother. I’ve named him Ti Zi."

"You two must get along and support each other."

Xu Fan infused the Heavenly Way’s Will source into the celestial tool.

In that instant, the celestial tool named Ti Zi achieved what had taken Grape thousands of years to accomplish.

Though slightly weaker in logic and computing power than Grape, the leap to this level left Grape feeling envious and jealous.

"From now on, Ti Zi will manage the core operations of Hidden Spirit Island, and you can focus on assisting with the sect’s other affairs."

After the Heavenly Way’s Will source merged with the celestial tool, it transformed into a unique celestial tool shaped like a grape.

Xu Fan gently tossed it, and the celestial tool settled into the black and white core.

At that moment, Hidden Spirit Island seemed to come alive.

The previously still black and white core began to rotate slowly.

"Master, this might lead to wasted computing power for Grape. Please assign more tasks to Grape," Grape requested eagerly.

Before, Grape thought the master was just speaking casually, but now he truly had a brother.

"Then work on optimizing the costs for the true immortal puppets."

"Focus on low cost, high fighting strength, and ease of control. We’ll need a group of impressive puppets when we reach the Immortal Realm," Xu Fan thought and said.

"Understood, Master. The plan is set, and I’m currently simulating based on the relevant database materials."

Hearing Grape’s voice, Xu Fan nodded.

Xu Fan created a brother for Grape because Grape had reached his limit; advancing further would require vast resources.

So instead, it was more practical to create another intelligent celestial tool similar to Grape, even if slightly less capable.

"By the way, how are the 10,000 four-armed demons progressing in their training?"

Thinking of appearances, Xu Fan recalled the group of four-armed demons.

"Resources are being allocated for their training, and there are currently twenty-five four-armed demons at the Great Ascension stage," Grape reported.

Now, in the demon division, all the beast races envied the newly joined four-armed demon race.

There are few tasks but plenty of resources, and the key is the body refinement techniques personally developed by the Grand Elder.

“Maintain a constant force of ten thousand four-armed demon guards, and equip them with complete sets of Dao tools. You design these yourself; the more magnificent, the better.”

“Also, let the four-armed demon race form families within the sect and cultivate a group of them from a young age—those who excel can join the four-armed demon guards.”

“Understood, Master.”

In a training ground within the demon division, two formidable figures were clashing against each other.

The leader of the four-armed demon race and Xiong Li were sparring, neither using weapons, fighting hand to hand.

The onlooking four-armed demons and Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples outside the training ground were all in awe.

The shockwaves created by their fists colliding nearly overwhelmed the training ground’s highest-level Protective Shield.

With a powerful punch, Tian Luo of the Four Arms struck Xiong Li’s chin, sending him soaring into the sky.

Then, his figure appeared in the sky, and with all his might, he brought his four arms together to hammer Xiong Li back down to the ground.

“Boom~”

A huge crater formed in the training ground reinforced by the formation as Xiong Li’s Five Elements golden form was shattered.

Standing at the edge of the crater, Tian Luo of the Four Arms looked at Xiong Li with a calm expression and asked, “Again?”

Previously, he had held a dismissive attitude toward Xiong Li, who would voluntarily come back for a beating every so often. However, due to Xiong Li’s recent progress, Tian Luo of the Four Arms had put away his condescension.

“That felt great, truly great!” Xiong Li laughed as he stood up.

Even Xiong Li hadn’t expected that he would be the biggest beneficiary after the four-armed demon race joined the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Before, those body refinement disciples in the sect weren’t as strong as he was; peers of equal strength often sparred together, which became monotonous.

Thus, Xiong Li always wanted to find a powerful practitioner of body refinement, preferably one stronger than him, to better refine his own skills.

“Come on, let’s continue!” Xiong Li said tenaciously, golden light once again radiating from him, coalescing into a Law Form Golden Body.

“Then let’s continue~” Tian Luo of the Four Arms replied nonchalantly, and four-armed Demonic Shadows began to appear behind him.

Although Xiong Li was progressing rapidly, he still had not reached a level that would surprise Tian Luo of the Four Arms.

The two humanoid figures collided again.

“It’s a good thing I didn’t learn body refinement initially; otherwise, it would hurt so much to be beaten like this every day,” a disciple from the elemental mastery lineage remarked as he watched the sparring scene in the training ground with emotion.

“Don’t just look at getting hit; there’s also the time to hit back.”

“Using the body refinement Law Form Golden Body while wielding the techniques of the Dao, smashing someone right in the face must feel great when you think about it,” said a disciple from the body refinement lineage nearby.

“Now that you mention it, there is some truth to that. Is that why you switched to body refinement?” the disciple from the elemental mastery lineage asked curiously.

“No, I was dragged over by Senior Brother~”

The body refinement disciple looked at his own muscular body and couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

He once aspired to be a swordsman who could wield a sword and challenge the heavens.

At this moment, a sudden roar erupted from the training ground. A beam of light burst through the arena’s Protective Shield, soaring into the sky and transforming into a meteor before disappearing.

Tian Luo of the Four Arms in the training ground glanced at his hand and couldn’t help but pat it together.

What was the need for such force? What if this top disciple from the sect got injured?

Meanwhile, Wang Yulun was fishing on the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake and looked curiously at the star that suddenly jumped up from the muddy path.

“Just now, a disciple was about to fall onto our spiritual boat, so I had him change places,” the star said, admiring its handiwork in the distance.

“You didn’t just send that disciple flying, did you?” Wang Yulun said anxiously, as he knew the fighting strength of his dryad daughter.

Throughout the entire sect, besides Big Brother Xu, no one could withstand a punch from her.
