Chapter 1089
by fanqienovelChapter 1089: The Jade World Boat
The trio spent an entire day exploring the puppet production base.
Upon their return, Qian Bing was filled with a mix of excitement and melancholy.
He was thrilled to have received detailed cultivation materials from Lord Grape that would enable his puppet son to advance to the Golden Immortal Realm. However, his joy was tempered by the staggering cost of six hundred billion Immortal Jade.
“What’s the big deal? It’s just six hundred billion Immortal Jade,” he muttered.
“With your academy’s profit-sharing, you’ll have enough in less than thirty thousand years,” Xiong Li reassured him with a grin.
“Thirty thousand years!” Qian Bing exclaimed.
“By then, all my brothers and sisters will have advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, and I’ll be stuck here without even a Golden Immortal battle-ready puppet. How embarrassing!” He glanced at his puppet son with a sigh.
“I’ve got a plan,” Xiong Li said. “You can take out a loan from the sect to buy 10,000 of the latest true immortal fighting strength puppets.”
“Once you have them, I can control these 10,000 true immortal puppets to form a grand formation and crush the beast race on the front lines.”
“If you guard this area for one hundred years’ time, you’ll be able to pay off the sect’s loan. Whatever resources are left after that will be pure profit. You can exchange them for Immortal Jade at the headquarters.”
“Then you can use that to buy all the resources you need to advance to the Golden Immortal Realm.”
“You’ve got this!” the puppet chimed in, its voice brimming with encouragement.
“You make it sound so simple,” Qian Bing retorted, shooting the puppet a skeptical look. “What if the Golden Immortal great beasts target us?”
“The latest version of the true immortal puppets is 1.6 times stronger and more durable than the basic version,” the puppet explained. “Even if Golden Immortal great beasts show up, we can form a defensive battle formation to withstand their first wave of attacks.”
“By then, the sect’s Golden Immortal puppets will have plenty of time to reach the battlefield.”
Hearing this, Xiong Li added, “I’ll make sure a Golden Immortal puppet is stationed in the area you’re guarding.”
“Senior Brother, you’re being so kind to me—I can hardly believe it!” Qian Bing said, his eyes welling up with tears as he looked at Xiong Li.
“Maybe I should have this puppet call you ‘godfather,’” he joked.
“No need for that,” Xiong Li replied with a chuckle. “Just focus on figuring out how to gather the funds to raise your puppet son to the Golden Immortal Realm.” With that, he walked away, still smiling.
The area Qian Bing was tasked with guarding was one of the most critical defense points on the front lines.
If the beast race managed to break through this area, the entire front line would be considered half-lost.
So, stationing Golden Immortal puppets there was not just reasonable—it was essential.
…………
In a mysterious region at the edge of the Three Thousand Realms,
Wang Yulun and Murong Qianer were exploring a newly-born world.
The Three Thousand Paths began to evolve with remarkable clarity.
Gradually, they formed the core of the world, which started to pulse like a beating heart.
With each pulse, the membrane surrounding the core expanded outward.
“So this is how a world is born,” Wang Yulun marveled.
At that moment, Wang Yulun had already reached the Golden Immortal Realm.
After following his sister-in-law into this mysterious region, he felt as though a veil had been lifted from his mind, and his cultivation continued to break through new barriers.
In just under ten years, his cultivation unexpectedly broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm, and Murong Qianer beside him experienced the same.
"It’s incredible! Here, even a fool could become immortal by comprehending the Dao," Murong Qianer marveled.
"If only Big Brother Xu were here; with his talent, he might directly break through to the Great Luo Stage."
Having been away from the Hidden Spirit Sect for many years, he missed his Big Brother Xu Fan.
"I think with Big Brother Xu’s talent, he might not even need these things."
As soon as Murong Qianer finished speaking, a woman in a blue dress broke through the membrane of the newly-born world and appeared beside them.
"Sister-in-law, someone challenged my sister to a duel; she might not be back for a while," the woman said, her expression clearly annoyed.
"But didn’t you say your sister is already at the peak of the Three Thousand Realms? Who would dare challenge her?" Wang Yulun asked, intrigued by the prospect of meeting his past-life wife.
"She’s not the only one at the peak of the Three Thousand Realms," the woman sighed slightly.
"Since she can’t come back, could you take Qianer and me back to the Hidden Spirit Sect?" Wang Yulun asked eagerly.
"It’s just that my sister’s true self can’t return, but her spirit can still meet you, brother-in-law."
"Besides, my sister will return to the Three Thousand Realm’s gate in one month, and her spirit can come back then," the woman said cheerfully.
"Alright then," Wang Yulun replied, slightly disappointed.
A month later, Wang Yulun finally met his past-life wife, a woman standing at the peak of the Three Thousand Realms.
A woman stood there quietly, and at first glance, one felt as if gazing at the source of the path laws.
She exuded an ethereal aura that made Wang Yulun feel as if he were facing an abyss.
The two simply gazed at each other in silence.
"I forgot; after your reincarnation, you might not be accustomed to my current state."
As the woman spoke, the ethereal aura dissipated, revealing her form and face, which became gradually clearer.
A woman who seemed to embody the qualities of a good wife and mother appeared before Wang Yulun.
Her breathtaking beauty and gentle demeanor sparked an impulse in Wang Yulun to hold the woman before him tightly.
"I’ve seen the wife you have in this life; she’s very good to you, so treat her well."
"Now, it’s time for your True Self to appear," the woman gently said while reaching out a hand to caress Wang Yulun’s cheek.
In an instant, Wang Yulun lost consciousness.
When he regained control of his body, he found himself on a Giant Ship, a Primal Spiritual Treasure.
"Sister-in-law, my sister said that after some time, your True Self will gradually return, and then you’ll truly become my brother-in-law."
"This fleet of spiritual boats and the guards is your prestigious vehicle that you hadn’t used before; now it’s returned to you."
"Now you are free to travel anywhere you desire on this fleet of spiritual boats."
"Once your True Self returns, we will meet again."
Wang Yulun searched the information in his mind, feeling both strange and puzzled.
It seemed that his past-life wife had summoned the part of himself hidden deep within his soul; he had no idea what they had talked about.
At that moment, the door to the room gently opened, and Murong Qianer walked in.
"You two have been talking for a whole year, and now you’ve left us feeling so mystified," Murong Qianer said, looking at Wang Yulun.
"I don’t really know what happened; it seems my past life was summoned to talk with her, and I was left in the dark," Wang Yulun said, slowly sitting up from the bed and beginning to feel the Giant Ship he was on.
"Master, I am the spirit of the Jade World Boat, and my name is Xiao Yu."
"I have finally awaited your return!" The spirit, Xiao Yu, spoke with excitement.
"Xiao Yu, that name sounds so familiar,"
Wang Yulun felt a tingle deep within his soul.
