Chapter 1008: Great Immortal Emperor’s Secret Treasure

“Grapes, where is Cang Lei Saint from the Wood Origin tribe now?” Xu Fan asked.

This time, Xu Fan had two goals: to seek revenge and to reclaim the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure, Five Colors Peak, that was in Cang Lei Saint’s possession.

As a top-tier Postnatal Spiritual Treasure, once Xu Fan got it back, he couldn’t just leave it lying around.

“Wood Origin tribe territory, Green Forest Immortal Realm, Cang Lei Tree City,” Grapes replied.

“The cultivation path of the Wood Origin tribe is different from that of the human race. After reaching the Golden Immortal level, each member gains a companion spirit tree to help them bear the heavenly tribulation of cause and effect,” Grapes added.

“Inside the Wood Origin tribe’s territory, huh? Looks like Number Three will have to make a trip,” Xu Fan said.

“Grapes, how much logical computing power do you need to fully unleash the combat strength of the three Golden Immortal puppets?” Xu Fan asked.

“To fight at full capacity, the three Golden Immortal puppets require a total of 1,300 units of logical computing power,” Grapes answered.

“Got it.”

Xu Fan then headed to the underground space and retrieved the Wood Origin giant tree stored in the treasury. He began refining a specialized celestial tool to disguise himself as a member of the Wood Origin tribe.

“Master, there’s a bounty on the human race front: slay Cang Lei Saint for 1 billion Immortal Jade, capture and bring him back for 1.5 billion Immortal Jade, or destroy his companion spirit tree and bring proof for 500 million Immortal Jade.”

Hearing this, Xu Fan’s eyes lit up. He wasn’t confident about killing Cang Lei Saint, but he could at least threaten him into handing over the Five Colors Peak.

Based on the information Grapes provided, it seemed feasible to cut down his companion spirit tree.

“Good job, Grapes. That’s some valuable intel,” Xu Fan nodded in approval.

“Grapes, use the known celestial mines and Spiritual Treasure-level celestial mines from the database to calculate how to create a Golden Immortal puppet that meets Postnatal Spiritual Treasure standards,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master.”

“It’s so hard to find celestial mines for refining Golden Immortal puppets. If it weren’t for that, our sect would already have at least ten Golden Immortal puppets by now.”

“By then, the grass on Cang Lei Saint’s grave would already be five feet tall,” Xu Fan quipped while refining the celestial tool.

“Li Xuandao wants to see you; it’s about the rise of the sect,” Grapes announced.

“Let him come straight to the underground space. About the rise of the sect?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

Soon, a teleportation formation appeared, and Li Xuandao stepped out.

“Greetings, Master,” Li Xuandao said, bowing.

“Rise. Now, tell me what’s so important about the rise of the sect,” Xu Fan said.

“Disciple stumbled upon a Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure while passing through the Wuwang Immortal Realm.”

“But to open the secret treasure, you need specific secret techniques and a soul key. Plus, at the time, I was being chased with my mother, so I didn’t investigate further,” Li Xuandao explained.

“A Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure? That sounds like a big deal!” Xu Fan mused. Would forcibly breaking into it lead to cause and effect issues?

“Master, usually, a Great Immortal Emperor who sets up such a secret treasure has either fallen or been killed by enemies.”

“These secret treasures are often set up as a backup for their resurrection or rebirth, and they’re scattered all over.”

“Some powerful Great Immortal Emperors might even set up hundreds or thousands of them across the Three Thousand Great Worlds before their downfall.”

“Generally, Great Immortal Emperors who lay such traps are unlikely to return to their former peak, and they often have Great Immortal Emperor-level enemies waiting for them. So, taking such treasures usually doesn’t cause problems,” Li Xuandao explained.

“Are you sure about that?” Xu Fan asked, still feeling a bit skeptical.

"As long as you don’t accept the inheritance within the Secret Treasure, there’s no problem. My disciple has heard many such stories from his past lives."

"There’s even a tradition in the Immortal Realm where one takes the treasures without accepting the inheritance. This results in little karma, unless the Great Immortal Emperor who set up the Secret Treasure returns to his peak, but that possibility is very small," Li Xuandao said.

He had once discovered a Secret Treasure, which was merely a backup left by the Great Luo for himself. After taking it, nothing happened to him.

Moreover, he had consulted others, and the karma that had once bound him disappeared completely.

"If that’s the case, there’s still hope."

"This isn’t urgent. Just remember the location, and when I have time, I’ll take you to the Wuwang Immortal Realm," Xu Fan said while crafting the celestial tool.

"Yes, Master~" Li Xuandao replied before leaving the underground space.

"The Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure, how interesting."

Xu Fan thought back to that good senior brother from the past. He wondered if his accompanying old man had ever been a Great Immortal Emperor.

Three months later, Xu Fan disguised three Golden Immortal puppets as the Wood Origin tribe using the celestial tools he had crafted, sending them into the space celestial tool.

Expressionless, Avatar Number Three appeared before Xu Fan.

"Good thing I separated you back then, or else sending Number One and Number Two would have meant more negotiations," Xu Fan thought as he looked at Avatar Number Three with increasing fondness.

He suddenly regretted not erasing their intelligence when Number One and Number Two first developed it.

At that moment, Number One and Number Two, who were in Star Moon City supporting the lonely celestial spirit dancers, suddenly shivered.

"What’s happening? A sudden thought—does the main body want to erase our intelligence?" Number Two said, losing interest in the celestial spirit dance immediately.

"How could that be? We’ve been performing so well, and it’s such a big task—only one year’s vacation and ten million Immortal Jade."

"A tool like us, the main body would never erase our intelligence," Number One reassured Number Two with a comforting glance.

However, after the celestial spirit dance ended, the two exchanged glances.

"We share the same fortune and disgrace as the main body. Now that his need for Time Treasures is so urgent, shouldn’t we return early?" Number Two said after a moment of silence.

"Speaking of which, we have enjoyed half a year already, so we have had enough fun. Returning now is fine," Number One also said quietly.

"Let’s go~"

The two quickly agreed and teleported back to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

At this time, Avatar Number Three had set off carrying Xu Fan’s consciousness, unaware of Number One and Number Two’s return.

"Grapes, please note that we ended our vacation six months early to return for the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure level spaceship project," Number One said.

"Understood, it has been recorded accurately," Grapes replied.

Then, Number One and Number Two began discussing which celestial mines and how to refine them for creating a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure level spaceship.

In the Western Spirit Immortal Domain, Xu Fan and Xu Gang were strolling through a city.

This was the closest Giant City that Grapes could teleport to the front lines.

"Master, I can faintly sense the presence of Five Colors Peak, but the imprint regarding me there is slowly being worn away. I estimate it will vanish completely in about 300 years," Xu Gang said beside him.

"It’s been over a thousand years, and your imprint has not been removed. It seems that the Cang Lei Saint has bestowed your Five Colors Peak to his descendants."

"If that’s the case, it makes things a lot easier," Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.
