Chapter 1021: The Saint

“Send a message to Wang Xiangchi. We need to find a way to get his father-in-law to cooperate with us,” Xu Fan said after some thought, feeling that this matter shouldn’t be handled alone and required an extra layer of security.

“Understood, Master. I’ll come up with a detailed plan based on the situation,” Grape’s voice responded.

“Don’t let Wang Xiangchi return just yet. I’ll go and deal with that little rascal.”

“He still doesn’t have enough guts; he couldn’t even manage to get a single Postnatal Spiritual Treasure,” Xu Fan remarked.

He then transferred his consciousness to Avatar Number Three and used the teleportation formation to head toward the front lines.

At the front lines, Wang Xiangchi and Mu Dai met Xu Fan.

“Greetings, Master.”

“Greetings, benefactor,” Wang Xiangchi and Mu Dai bowed.

“Don’t call me benefactor. You’re my disciple’s wife; this is only natural,” Xu Fan said with a smile, waving his hand.

“I’m taking three Golden Immortal puppets to the Saint Moon Tribe. Wait for my message here, and if necessary, you can lend a hand.”

“Understood, Master. Grape has already briefed me on the general plan.”

“I’ll coordinate with Dai’er when the time comes, Master,” Wang Xiangchi nodded.

“Good.”

Xu Fan then took the three puppets and vanished before them.

“What is your master doing in the Saint Moon Tribe? It’ll be very dangerous if he’s discovered,” Mu Dai said with concern.

“The Golden Immortal puppets suffered heavy losses in battle. I think Master wants to find a way to recover those losses from the Saint Moon Tribe.”

“We’ll need to make sure we cooperate with Master properly,” Wang Xiangchi said, gazing in the direction where Xu Fan had disappeared, his eyes filled with a mix of emotions.

He knew their sect had taken a huge hit this time. During the battle, when he saw the puppets unleash those brilliant sword lights, he felt incredible, and it even deepened his understanding of swordsmanship.

But later, he realized that each of those dazzling sword lights represented tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of Immortal Jade.

Wang Xiangchi explained the losses of the Golden Immortal puppets to Mu Dai, leaving her stunned.

“You’re saying you spent 2 billion Immortal Jade to help my dad in that battle with the Golden Immortal puppets?!” Mu Dai said in disbelief.

“Yeah~”

Mu Dai suddenly felt it might have been better to let herself die and be revived from the River of Time.

“Your master went through so much for me,” Mu Dai said, feeling a bit guilty.

“It’s not all bad. At least your dad can now see me in a better light, and when he’s in a good mood, he even calls me son-in-law,” Wang Xiangchi said.

“Does your master’s plan require my dad’s help? I’ll go talk to him right now.”

“With such a big loss, he has to help us,” Mu Dai insisted.

“You’re really something, wife~”

“Of course~”

At that moment, Xu Fan had already flown out of the human territory with the three Golden Immortal puppets.

“Grape, send one puppet ahead to scout the situation. Once we’ve located the territory of the Saint Moon Tribe, we’ll plan our next move,” Xu Fan instructed.

"Understood."

Xu Fan commanded a Golden Immortal puppet, skilled in the essence of the space wide road, to break through space and teleport directly to the territory of the Saint Moon Tribe.

"Once I enter the Saint Moon Tribe’s territory, they won’t escape my grasp."

"They attacked our human territory and caused significant losses. They must offer all the Immortal Jade and Spiritual Treasures from their treasury," Xu Fan muttered to himself.

Before Xu Fan decided to refine a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Spaceship, he thought the hundreds of billions of Immortal Jade stored in the sect were more than sufficient, even feeling a bit wealthy.

However, after deciding to refine the spaceship and going through the battle to save his apprentice’s father-in-law, his once ample Immortal Jade turned into a state of debt.

At that moment, hundreds of Giant Ships, each thousands of feet long, appeared in the distance, carrying a large number of Saint Moon Tribe troops toward the borders of the human territory.

"Master, should we intervene?" Grape asked.

"No, let’s not alert them. This is just a small scouting force from the Saint Moon Tribe. The main forces are likely behind," Xu Fan replied.

"But since we’ve seen them, we can’t just ignore them."

"Meeting is fate; let’s send them a small gift," Xu Fan said, flicking his fingers and sending a small light sphere filled with calamity power toward the distant Giant Ship of the Saint Moon Tribe.

The light sphere quickly entered the Giant Ship, finding a nearby true immortal of the Saint Moon Tribe and merging with their soul.

A tiny flower bloomed within this true immortal’s spirit.

Xu Fan didn’t pay much attention to this and continued flying toward the Saint Moon Tribe.

Three days later, a Giant Ship resembling a full moon passed by Xu Fan.

"There are four Golden Immortals on that ship. It’s best not to provoke them for now."

"Their tribe’s treasury is more important."

After three more months of travel, Xu Fan and the three Golden Immortal puppets finally arrived at the Saint Moon Tribe’s territory.

Xu Fan transformed into a member of the Saint Moon Tribe and used their teleportation formation to head toward the holy city.

"I must say, the Saint Moon Tribe truly deserves its reputation as a great clan from ancient times; they have indeed experienced a period of glory."

"Looking at their teleportation formation and Cultivation Techniques, it seems they have preserved a complete inheritance from that time," Xu Fan remarked while observing the teleportation hall of the Saint Moon Tribe.

As Xu Fan stepped into the teleportation hall, he pulled out a space celestial tool he had obtained from a true immortal of the Saint Moon Tribe and paid the teleportation fee with several tens of thousands of Immortal Jade.

Xu Fan didn’t linger too long in the Giant City of the Saint Moon Tribe and soon arrived at their holy city.

At this moment, Xu Fan felt like someone returning home after a long absence; he began to experience the local customs and traditions.

He even made a good friend, with whom he went to pay homage at the Saint Moon Hall.

A pure force of faith erupted from the top of Xu Fan’s head, condensing toward the bright moon in the Saint Moon Hall.

"I didn’t expect my friend to have become a saint. I am in awe," his newly made friend from the Saint Moon Tribe exclaimed in surprise.

In the Saint Moon Tribe, once one becomes a saint, they have the chance to receive the supreme insights of the Saint Moon Great Luo, allowing a direct leap from true immortal to Golden Immortal Realm.

"It’s nothing much, really. I just firmly believe that the Saint Moon is our only reliance."

"As long as we believe in it, our tribe will one day revive its former glory," Xu Fan, disguised as a member of the Saint Moon Tribe, fervently stated.

He then shared many unique understandings of the faith in the Saint Moon, quickly attracting the attention of numerous true immortals worshipping in the temple.

They all surrounded Xu Fan, listening intently to his insights on the faith.

As Xu Fan explained, their previously impure force of faith gradually became pure, and their expressions turned more and more sacred.

Eventually, even the Golden Immortal guarding the Saint Moon Hall was drawn over.

Upon seeing the Golden Immortal approaching, Xu Fan knew that his plan had succeeded halfway.
