Chapter 1058: Immortal Hidden Ship

In the underground space, avatar number two, who was crafting the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Spaceship, suddenly received a notification from Grape.

“I’m being sent to another Immortal Realm. My main body isn’t worried about me running off and not coming back~” Avatar number two felt a sudden rush of excitement, as if he’d been hit with a pleasant surprise.

“Go ahead, and once you leave, don’t bother coming back,” avatar number one said, his tone tinged with envy as he looked at number two.

“You’re joking, right? The sect is my home. How could I not return after going out?” Avatar number two replied cheerfully, treating this as a kind of all-expenses-paid trip.

“Grape, how much funding did my main body approve?”

“Five million Immortal Jade. This covers the travel and tax expenses for crossing the Immortal Realms,” Grape’s calm voice echoed.

Meanwhile, in another Artifact Hall, Xu Fan was discussing tax avoidance strategies with Li Xuandao.

“When you crossed so many Immortal Realms to save your mother, how did you handle the tax fees along the way?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“Master, within the Immortal Realm, there are often unknown external exits or Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formations. When I traveled, I prioritized using those formations, as the tax fees are lower.”

“Additionally, by taking advantage of price differences between Immortal Realms, I would purchase rare Immortal Ore resources in the Immortal Realm I was in, which helped reduce the tax rate,” Li Xuandao explained.

“Is there a way to avoid paying taxes altogether?” Xu Fan pondered for a moment.

“There is, but it requires quasi-saint strength.”

“However, with greater power, there are discounts for crossing between Immortal Realms: Golden Immortals get a thirty percent discount, and Great Luo Saints get a seventy percent discount,” Li Xuandao answered honestly.

“If this guy brings back the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure, I might as well be stripped of half my wealth,” Xu Fan said, rubbing his temples in frustration.

“Master, there’s another method: take a Star Ship directly from the Wood Origin Immortal Realm to the Wuwang Immortal Realm and return the same way.”

“The downside is that it takes a long time—estimated to be around a thousand years,” Li Xuandao added after a moment of thought.

At that moment, Xu Fan felt a sense of absurdity. He never imagined he’d be worrying about tax rates in the cultivation world.

The Heavenly Way’s Will of the Immortal Realm directly monitors tax payments—who could have imagined such a thing?

“It’s said that to evade taxes, one needs an innate supreme treasure.”

“Grape, accelerate the time in the Artifact Hall by one hundred years until the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Spaceship is complete, then stop,” Xu Fan commanded.

“Master, accelerating the refinement time for the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure requires consuming half a crystal of Xuanhuang aura,” Grape’s voice replied.

“Do it. For the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure, I can spare the cost,” Xu Fan said decisively.

Just then, avatar number two, who was about to leave the underground space to prepare for his trip to the Wuwang Immortal Realm, felt a pang of frustration upon hearing the news.

“I still have to do all the work~” Avatar number two sighed deeply and returned to the Artifact Hall.

Three days later, a magnificent treasure light shot up into the sky.

Soon after, calamity clouds began to gather over Hidden Spirit Island.

“Four-colored Spiritual Treasure calamity clouds—not bad,” Xu Fan remarked as he observed the sky.

When a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure takes shape, it attracts treasure-colored calamity clouds.

Calamity clouds with fewer than nine colors indicate Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, while those with nine or more colors signify Primal Spiritual Treasures.

The disciples and elders on Artifact Crafting Peak gazed in awe at the four-colored Spiritual Treasure calamity clouds in the sky.

This was their ultimate goal.

Sha Diao, Guangxu, Zhang Daqi, Ertie, and the others all stared wide-eyed at the treasure-colored calamity clouds in the sky.

“Can forging really create a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure?” Ertie pondered deeply at that moment.

Guangxu and Zhang Daqi were filled with excitement, imagining the day they would successfully craft Postnatal Spiritual Treasures under their master’s guidance.

In the Immortal Realm, a Divine Craftsman who can create a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure holds a higher status than even a Great Luo Saint.

“A Divine Craftsman…” Sha Diao sighed heavily, feeling like he still had a long way to go.

The energy from the four thunder calamities was mostly absorbed by Grape, with only a small portion easily handled by the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Spaceship.

In the plain behind the main peak, a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Spaceship, three thousand feet long, was docked.

Though smaller than a typical Star Ship, this spaceship was far more advanced.

Inside, it was carved with a celestial formation, making every room and storage area equivalent to a small world, with a capacity thousands of times greater than an ordinary Star Ship.

“What should we name this spaceship?” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

“Master, since it’s meant to travel above the Nine Heavens, why not call it the Jiutian Ship?” Xu Gang suggested.

“I think Immortal Hidden Ship sounds better,” Xu Yuexian chimed in.

Before others could offer their ideas, Xu Fan decided, “Yuexian’s name is perfect. Let’s call it the Immortal Hidden Ship.”

“Grape, send an avatar to attach to the Immortal Hidden Ship. Take Xuandao, avatar number two, and two Golden Immortal puppets to the Wuwang Immortal Realm,” Xu Fan ordered.

Having spent half a crystal of Xuanhuang Aura to speed up the refinement of the Immortal Hidden Ship, it would be a waste not to retrieve the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure.

“Understood, Master.”

A purple light sphere slowly merged into the Immortal Hidden Ship.

Li Xuandao stared in awe at the newly crafted Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Spaceship, swallowing hard.

“Master, I didn’t know you were already a Divine Craftsman!” Li Xuandao exclaimed in amazement.

“Not quite a Divine Craftsman yet. I just found a clever way to refine this Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Spaceship,” Xu Fan replied modestly.

“For the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure, you’ll be the first to ride the Immortal Hidden Ship,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Master, I’ll definitely bring back the complete Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure,” Li Xuandao declared with determination.

“Go ahead,” Xu Fan said, patting Li Xuandao’s shoulder.

The Immortal Hidden Ship slowly rose and flew toward Star Moon City.

“What does the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure have to do with me, that I’d feel such inspiration?”

After the Immortal Hidden Ship departed, Xu Fan returned to the underground space to continue refining pills.

………….

At the border between the Southern Dipper Immortal Realm and the Realm of Chaos, a thick barrier stood.

This natural barrier was formed by the unique laws of the Realm of Chaos merging with the outside world.

The barrier, unmoved for millions of years, began to shift.

A rotting whale burst through the barrier and entered the Southern Dipper Immortal Realm.

In agony, the rotting whale opened its massive mouth and expelled its inner world, then quickly retreated back into the barrier.

The small world, now exposed in the star region, began to shatter. A spiritual boat emerged from the broken world.

Inside the boat, Han Feiyu gazed at the rippling barriers and sighed deeply.

“This is too much…”

Aside from the items in his jade gourd, everything else had been drained by the rotting whale’s inner world.

“I’ll get my revenge on that rotting whale someday,” Jian Wujie said through clenched teeth.

Only after the rotting whale expelled its inner world did Jian Wujie realize he had been left penniless.
