Chapter 1086: Battle Report

Inside the fur tent, Han Feiyu pulled out the meals prepared by the maids from the jade gourd space and ate them half-heartedly.

“I really miss the cozy atmosphere of the sect and the lively cafeteria.”

“When Master Ancestor told me about this, I thought I was prepared, but I didn’t expect it to be this harsh,” Han Feiyu said, sipping hot tea during this rare break in the perilous expanse of wind and snow.

“Instead of wasting time talking, you should focus on resting.”

“If you don’t pick up the pace for the journey ahead, you might not make it out of this deadly place alive,” the Mechanical Puppet Little A warned.

“I know, but the icy poison is unbearable without bear blood; every step feels like I’m destroying my own legs.”

“Little A, do you think I’ll really advance to Golden Immortal once I escape this place?” Han Feiyu asked again.

“Absolutely. Now that you’ve broken free from the illusion, coming into contact with the 3,000 laws of the world will likely push you to Golden Immortal.”

“Every moment here is training your spirit and body, building your foundation.”

“So, don’t die in this place,” the Mechanical Puppet Little A said firmly.

“How could I die? I haven’t even become a Golden Immortal or a Great Luo yet.”

“For me, everything in this world is just beginning; I can’t die here,” Han Feiyu said with determination.

He hadn’t even had his fill of freely spending Immortal Jade; dying here would be such a waste.

After finishing his meal, Han Feiyu tidied up briefly and crawled back into his sleeping bag, soon falling into a deep sleep.

Outside the fur tent, Mechanical Puppet Xiao Wei stood guard, holding a giant cannon.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, within the Source Realm illusion trial space,

Xiao Luofan was relentlessly attacking a hundred-feet-tall chaotic golden form.

She pushed the devouring path to its limits, but the damage she dealt to the massive chaotic golden form was minimal.

Instead, one wrong move gave the chaotic golden form the chance to strike back.

The two fought for three days and nights, and in the end, the chaotic golden form seized the opportunity and shattered Xiao Luofan’s physical body with a single punch.

As her consciousness returned to her body, Xiao Luofan sighed, “I still have a long way to go. No wonder he’s the Chief Senior Brother of the sect.”

After reaching the Great Ascension stage, Xiao Luofan stabilized her realm and began her daily tasks, challenging the trial space whenever she had the chance.

She soon realized that even though her fighting strength was top-tier among the Great Ascension stage, there were still a few in the sect she couldn’t defeat.

The best she could manage was a tie.

Like when she challenged the sect’s Chief Senior Brother Xiong Li at the Great Ascension stage; her best result was mutual destruction.

And her contemporary, Zhang Xueling, left her feeling hopeless; after a hundred challenges, she only managed a draw once.

“I guess I’ll have to wait until I reach the supreme level of the Great Ascension realm before I can challenge them again,” Xiao Luofan sighed.

At that moment, it was the annual Dragon Soul Rain day in the Hidden Spirit Sect.

A light drizzle fell from the sky, and Xiao Luofan, fresh from a challenge in the Source Realm, suddenly felt like exploring the sect.

“Senior Sister Shufen, are you in the sect?”

Xiao Luofan messaged the friend she had met during her first visit to the sect.

Before long, a beam of light landed beside her.

“Luofan Junior Sister, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, and you look even more radiant,” a woman in green said, stopping Xiao Luofan by placing her hand on her shoulder and looking her up and down.

“Today is Dragon Soul Rain. I found the scenery in the sect to be breathtaking, so I wanted my Senior Sister to accompany me for a stroll,” Xiao Luofan said softly.

“Since joining the sect, I’ve been so focused on cultivation that I haven’t had the chance to truly appreciate the beauty around me.”

“Perfect timing! I just finished handling some academy matters and have some free time, so let’s take a walk,” Xiao Shufen said casually.

With that, she took Xiao Luofan’s hand and led her to the Medicinal Herb Road in the sect.

“These fields used to be medicinal herb plots, cultivated by the sect back when it was in the lower realm. After gaining the Source Realm, we left them behind and entrusted them to the Spirit Rabbits.”

“They were originally just ordinary spirit herbs, but with the sect’s abundant spiritual energy and resources, they gradually developed intelligence.”

“Those spirit herbs often transform into little animals, scurrying around the fields. The disciples in the sect find them adorable, so we’ve kept this area as a sanctuary for those herb spirits,” Xiao Shufen explained.

Xiao Luofan watched the cute little creatures transformed from spirit herbs in the fields and couldn’t help but smile.

At that moment, a few tri-colored little birds landed on their shoulders.

The little birds nestled their tiny bodies against their faces, looking quite affectionate.

“These are tri-colored celestial ginsengs. Their roots can ease the frustration and gloom that come with cultivation bottlenecks.”

Xiao Shufen said, grabbing one of the tri-colored little birds with her large hand as seen by the birds.

She plucked a feather from each wing, putting one in her mouth and handing one to Xiao Luofan.

“Try it; it has a sweet taste,” Xiao Shufen said, releasing the little bird.

The freed little bird fluttered around them, chirping curiously as if asking why its feathers were taken.

The feather in Xiao Luofan’s hand had transformed into a delicate root of tri-colored celestial ginseng.

She placed it in her mouth; at first, it was slightly bitter, but soon the taste turned completely sweet.

At that moment, a group of little deer bounded past them, disappearing into the medicinal herb fields.

“Come on, I’ll take you to see the underwater passage of the Immortal Liquid Lake. It’s filled with transparent ice crystals thousands of years old, and the scenery at the lakebed is stunning,” Xiao Shufen said as she pulled Xiao Luofan toward the Immortal Liquid Lake.

Within the underwater passage of the Immortal Liquid Lake, Xiao Luofan saw a different side of the sect.

“The construction of the entire sect is managed by Grape, which is why every corner offers a unique view.”

“So, while cultivating, it’s nice to take a stroll through the sect to relax your mind.”

Just as they admired the scenery at the lakebed of the Immortal Liquid Lake, a battle report appeared on the sect’s forum.

In the North Desolate Immortal Realm, the branch sect had withstood another large-scale attack from the beast race, suffering losses of tens of thousands of true immortal puppets and over 300 disciples.

Seeing this battle report, Xiao Shufen immediately said, “If it weren’t for the incomplete infrastructure in the North Desolate Immortal Realm, the beast race wouldn’t have been able to inflict such heavy losses on us.”

“The brothers in the sect…” Xiao Luofan said with a heavy tone.

“Don’t worry. Those sent to fight usually have resurrection opportunities.”

“At this stage, the sect doesn’t allow disciples without resurrection opportunities to enter battle.”

“Even if they are sent to the frontlines, Grape ensures they’re heavily protected,” Xiao Shufen stated.

“Senior Sister, do you think I’m ready to go to the North Desolate Immortal Realm with my current cultivation?” Xiao Luofan asked.
