Chapter 904: The Tea of the Wide Road

The massive chains of the virtual image connected the little Immortal Realm to Hidden Spirit Island.

As Hidden Spirit Island activated, the little Immortal Realm trembled slightly, marking the official start of the return journey to the Feiyu Realm.

The speed of Hidden Spirit Island increased rapidly until it reached its peak. Avatar Number Two then left Hidden Spirit Island and began to work quickly on the little Immortal Realm.

Half a year later, Avatar Number Two boarded the giant spiritual ship and flew towards the Feiyu Realm.

He needed to arrive early in the Feiyu Realm to carve out the other half of the formation.

Xu Fan watched the scene of Avatar Number Two leaving and couldn’t help but say, “Avatar Number Two has truly worked hard during this time.”

“Setting up such a super-large formation is the most mentally exhausting. He’ll probably need to rest for half a year once he returns,” Avatar Number One commented.

“Then let him rest for half a year,” Xu Fan said indifferently.

Half a year later, the little Immortal Realm suddenly experienced a pulling force from the direction of the Feiyu Realm, and its speed multiplied several times.

Four years later, Hidden Spirit Island safely brought the little Immortal Realm to the Feiyu Realm.

At this moment, the Heavenly Way’s Will in the Feiyu Realm was eagerly awaiting, much like someone waiting for a technician in a health center for the first time.

Excitement and anxiety filled the air as thoughts of how to disguise oneself as a regular customer swirled in his mind.

“This little Immortal Realm, if you devour its Heavenly Way’s Will, leave me seven parts of the source,” Xu Fan communicated to the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Feiyu Realm.

He promptly received a reply that it was very agreeable and even kindly offered additional services, gathering all the unclaimed resources of spirit ore for celestial tools and Spiritual Treasures from the little Immortal Realm for Xu Fan.

“This works; just collect them and leave them in the little Immortal Realm,” Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction, noticing that the Heavenly Way’s Will was becoming increasingly cooperative.

Soon, the little Immortal Realm was close to the Feiyu Realm, and the Heavenly Way’s Will began to consume its share of the Heavenly Way’s Will source.

Xu Fan also took Hidden Spirit Island back to the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake.

Not long after, Grape informed him that Ming Kong had come to visit.

“This time, as soon as I returned to Hidden Spirit Island, I felt a sense of departure,” Elder Ming Kong said with a smile in the guest hall, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

“There are less than 100 years left before we can leave the Feiyu Realm,” Xu Fan replied.

“I really feel a bit reluctant to part from you all!”

“Why don’t you, Elder Ming Kong, abandon the path of merging realms? Then we could meet again in the Immortal Realm.”

“Then the three of us—Upper Zun, you, and I—could drink and enjoy ourselves together, wouldn’t that be delightful?” Xu Fan looked at Ming Kong and said.

“Since I’ve chosen my own path, I will continue to walk it.”

“I just hope the Grand Elder will achieve supreme existence in the future and still remember me,” Ming Kong stated.

“What you say matters. Not only will I remember, but I will also come back to visit you often.”

Xu Fan handed the prepared tea to Ming Kong at the table.

“I hope that I will still be able to drink the Grand Elder’s tea then.”

Ming Kong picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and revealed an expression of endless nostalgia.

“I must say, the Grand Elder’s tea ceremony has reached its peak. Any spirit tea in the Grand Elder’s hands can bring out the sweetest and smoothest flavor.”

“Haha.” Xu Fan chuckled; his understanding of the tea ceremony was limited to just brewing tea.

“Today, Elder Ming Kong is in luck. After you finish this cup, I’ll treat you to another cup of the tea of the wide road.”

A virtual image of the wide road appeared behind Xu Fan, and soon six cups of tea appeared on the table.

Yin and yang, time and space, and the five elements—all were the supreme and pure tea of the wide road.

This realization came to Xu Fan naturally after he reached the peak of his understanding of the tea ceremony.

“Is this the tea of the wide road?!” Ming Kong’s face showed shock.

He had only heard of such tea while chatting with Upper Zun, knowing that to condense the tea of the wide road, both parties must reach the peak of their understanding in their respective paths.

“One person, three cups of tea; this is my first time using the tea of the wide road to entertain a guest.”

Xu Fan picked up a cup of yin and yang tea and took a sip. Although he didn’t gain any insights, the pure taste of the tea left him reminiscing.

He regretted not studying the tea ceremony earlier. In the future, there would be no need to serve spirit tea to guests; he could just condense the tea of the wide road, showing off while saving tea.

As Ming Kong breathed in the aroma of the tea of the wide road, he suddenly found the cup of spirit tea in his hand tasteless.

He drank it down in one gulp, then picked up a cup of the tea of the five elements, and just a taste sent him into a state of enlightenment.

“I knew it!” Xu Fan said with a smile as he watched Ming Kong fall into the state of enlightenment.

Then he waved his hand, freezing the tea of the wide road on the table in time, placing it in absolute stillness.

Meanwhile, time accelerated in Ming Kong’s area, speeding up for three months until he awakened from his state of enlightenment.

“I’m sorry, Grand Elder. A cup of the tea of the five elements made me unable to help but enter a state of enlightenment,” Ming Kong said sheepishly.

“It’s fine; with time acceleration, to me, it’s just a blink of an eye,” Xu Fan replied while enjoying the yin and yang tea.

“That’s good!” Ming Kong raised his cup of yin and yang tea again.

He fell into a state of enlightenment once more, and Xu Fan waved his hand again, accelerating time.

The third cup of tea was still the same, but this time the time spent in enlightenment was slightly longer, totaling ten years of acceleration.

“Congratulations, Elder Ming Kong, on advancing your cultivation,” Xu Fan said, sensing the aura emanating from Ming Kong.

“Thank you, Grand Elder!” Ming Kong expressed his gratitude.

“Just enjoy this tea. There’s no need for thanks; drinking together is perfectly fine between us,” Xu Fan said casually.

“I came this time to inform the Grand Elder that I will enter seclusion to communicate with the Heavenly Way’s Will. This time, it may take a while, and I probably won’t be able to personally send you off from Hidden Spirit Island to the Feiyu Realm,” Ming Kong stated.

“Would you like me to have Grape help you?” Xu Fan asked with concern, worried that Ming Kong would struggle alone with the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Feiyu Realm.

“No need; I’ve already tested it before, and there’s no danger.”

“Well then, I wish you success in your path, friend.”

Xu Fan personally saw Ming Kong off.

“After he came here to speak, there really was a hint of parting in the air,” Xu Fan said as he looked in the direction where Ming Kong had disappeared.

“Actually, there isn’t much here worth reminiscing about.”

“Then Master, let’s leave the Feiyu Realm and ascend to the Immortal Realm sooner.”

Xu Yuexian’s figure appeared behind Xu Fan.

“With the help of the White Dragon, you can now hide from my perception,” Xu Fan turned and said with a smile.

“We’re still far from it. Master, if you lower your aura a little, Little Bai wouldn’t dare come close to you,” Xu Yuexian said while petting the White Dragon beside her.

“Call your brother and junior brother to the courtyard; I’ll treat you all to tea,” Xu Fan suggested, recalling the divine ability he had just realized.

Good things should be shared.

In Xu Fan’s courtyard, it became a small tea gathering.

He prepared different tea of the wide road according to each disciple’s major path.

As a result, just from tasting it, all the disciples fell into a state of enlightenment.
