Chapter 1136: The Grand Elder’s Happy Times

Everyone looked happily at Xu Fan as he returned, as if they had found their pillar of strength.

"Alright, everyone, go about your business. I was only gone for less than 10 years; no need to miss me so much," Xu Fan said with a chuckle.

At that moment, he noticed Elder Qianling returning.

"You’ve been through a lot all these years, Elder Qianling. From now on, you are an official elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect," Xu Fan said joyfully, filled with the happiness of a long-awaited reunion.

"Thank you, Grand Elder."

That night, Xu Fan and Elder Qianling sat together in the courtyard, chatting.

Elder Qianling shared his experiences in the Immortal Realm during this time.

"I don’t know where the first brother and third brother are now; I can’t reach them with the communication artifact," Elder Qianling said.

"They went to the Chongshan Immortal Realm and established Qianling Sect there."

"Don’t worry, the Grand Elder of Qianling Sect and the Third Grand Elder are safe," Xu Fan revealed the news he received from Grape.

"That explains why I couldn’t contact them," Elder Qianling said.

"I’ve already sent a batch of supplies to Qianling Sect to help them get settled in that Immortal Realm," Xu Fan said.

"Thank you, Grand Elder!" Elder Qianling expressed his gratitude.

"When we were in the Lower Realm, Qianling Sect helped the Hidden Spirit Sect a lot; this is a debt to be repaid," Xu Fan said, gazing at the starry sky.

The two continued reminiscing about old times, causing Xu Fan to reflect deeply.

After Elder Qianling left, Xu Fan initially planned to check on his first clone in the underground space. Just then, he suddenly sensed a familiar yet strange aura within the sect.

He saw a woman in a flowing blue dress, looking curiously around a certain place on Hidden Spirit Island. A group of little deer surrounded her.

"Is this my husband’s sect?" the woman said uncertainly.

The little deer nodded and then looked up at the sky.

Xu Fan appeared not far from the woman.

"Weiyun~" Xu Fan gently called out.

Upon hearing her name, the woman turned in surprise, and in an instant, she rushed into Xu Fan’s embrace like a little deer.

"Husband, I finally see you!" she said with tears in her eyes.

"You have finally returned; all these years…" Xu Fan’s eyes also became misty.

"It was the little deer that brought me back here, but once my master returns to the island and sees I’m not there, he will probably come looking for me. So, I may not stay long with you," Zhang Weiyun said reluctantly.

"It’s okay; this time, I won’t let anyone take you away from me," Xu Fan said firmly.

Zhang Weiyun simply nodded, quietly watching Xu Fan without saying much.

The next day, Xu Fan’s disciples looked at Zhang Weiyun, who was beside Xu Fan, with astonishment.

"Master, you’re back!" the disciples exclaimed joyfully.

Xu Yuexian happily approached Zhang Weiyun, wrapping her arm around her and refusing to let go.

"You’re back! After so many years apart, your cultivation has grown so much; the change is truly remarkable," Zhang Weiyun said with emotion, finally taking out a few Postnatal Spiritual Treasures and giving one to each person.

Xu Fan looked at the few Postnatal Spiritual Treasures that Zhang Weiyun handed out—each one was a fine item.

The several disciples held the Postnatal Spiritual Treasures and turned to Xu Fan.

"Accept what your master’s wife gives you," Xu Fan waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Master Aunt."

After introducing Zhang Weiyun to a few of his disciples, the two enjoyed their time together.

"How have you been on Wanquing Island all these years?" they walked along a pebbled path in the garden as Xu Fan asked.

Zhang Weiyun looped her arm through Xu Fan’s and replied, "Not bad, except for not being able to see my husband."

"On the island, you can have anything you want—the best techniques, the finest source immortal spells, Primal Spiritual Treasures, and various spirit objects. It’s fair to say you can get anything you desire."

"As long as you need something, the master’s guards can provide it, but the only requirement is that you can’t leave the island easily."

"My master has been busy in the outer realms these years, returning to the island every few decades to check on us and guide our cultivation," Zhang Weiyun added.

"As long as you’ve been well during these years, it’s fine. Now that you’re here with me, I won’t let you suffer," Xu Fan said softly.

At that moment, a group of little deer approached Zhang Weiyun.

The leading little deer looked up at Xu Fan, as if saying, "See? I’ve done well."

It had a feeling of seeking praise.

Xu Fan immediately laughed and then produced several exceptionally precious celestial medicines from the Immortal Realm, tossing them into the distance, prompting the little deer to chase after them.

"Husband, even though I really want to stay by your side, my master will come looking for me when she finds me," Zhang Weiyun said.

"I can feel how strong you are, but my master is even stronger."

"She is one of the few powerful beings in the Three Thousand Realms and serves as a shield for the Three Thousand Realms."

"Gathering us nine Spirit Bodies of Great Fortune on one island is an important part of resisting external enemies," Zhang Weiyun explained.

"You, a mere Spirit Body of Great Fortune, don’t need to bear such an important responsibility."

"Wanquing Island will run just fine without you. Don’t worry; everything is under your husband’s control," Xu Fan reassured Zhang Weiyun.

Xu Fan then notified the Extraterrestrial Demon within the spirit to have it inform avatar number two to return to the sect at any cost.

"Okay, I believe in you, husband," Zhang Weiyun said, resting her head on Xu Fan’s shoulder.

Since Zhang Weiyun arrived at the Hidden Spirit Sect, the entire sect felt the Grand Elder’s relaxed and joyful spirit.

Xu Fan spent time with Zhang Weiyun, taking her around the Immortal Realm, shopping, and buying clothes, as if he wanted to make up for the years lost.

In Xu Fan’s courtyard, Zhang Weiyun changed into a light blue Long Dress to show Xu Fan.

"Husband, do you think this dress is pretty?" Zhang Weiyun twirled like a butterfly in front of Xu Fan.

"Very nice! My wife looks beautiful in anything," Xu Fan replied with a smile.

At that moment, Xu Fan received a notification from Grape that avatar number two had returned with supplies, all of which had been placed in the treasury.

"Then let me change into something else for you to see," Zhang Weiyun said and ran back to their little nest.

Xu Fan also sent a clone to the treasury.

In the treasury, Xu Fan looked at the list of the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasures that were brought back and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Grape, change all the items in this batch of secret treasures into crystals of Xuanhuang aura; I need them," Xu Fan’s clone ordered.

"As you wish, master."

Xu Fan didn’t only have to deal with the Ancestral Dragon now.

With Zhang Weiyun’s master appearing, everything he wanted to resolve was intertwined with the system.

Xu Fan first absorbed the ten thousand crystals of Xuanhuang aura into his body, then quickly entered the Great Luo state to start cracking the system and deducing methods to counter Zhang Weiyun’s master.

One day, while Xu Fan was playing chess with Zhang Weiyun, the entire Hidden Spirit Sect was suddenly transported into a peculiar space.

Xu Fan looked up at the woman in battle armor in the sky and smiled, greeting her, "Long time no see~"
