Chapter 1191: Nutrients

In an unfamiliar star region, space suddenly began to churn violently, and the Hidden Spirit Sect emerged from within.

“Master, we are currently within the star region of the Heavenly Bright Immortal Realm,” Grape’s voice chimed in.

“?”

Xu Fan looked puzzled; logically, his Future Self should have sent the Hidden Spirit Island to the Yuanshi Sect.

“Grape, is there anything special about the Heavenly Bright Immortal Realm?”

“Yes, your grandson Han Feiyu is training in the Heavenly Bright Immortal Realm,” Grape replied.

“So that kid is here~” Xu Fan nodded.

At that moment, Han Feiyu, who was in the Heavenly Bright Immortal Realm, suddenly received a signal on his sect’s communication artifact.

“Grape! Can you hear me?” Han Feiyu exclaimed excitedly.

“Yes, the sect is currently docked in the star region of the Heavenly Bright Immortal Realm, and you can access your sect benefits,” Grape responded.

“I don’t want the sect benefits; I just want to return to the sect,” Han Feiyu said, scrolling through the sect’s forum as he spoke.

So much had happened in the sect while he was away; he felt that if he didn’t return soon, he might be left behind.

“If Feiyu wants to come back, then let him return~”

“Previously, we couldn’t decipher his jade gourd; now we can,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Understood~”

At that moment, a woman stood behind Han Feiyu, gazing at him with reluctance.

“Are you sure you want to return to the sect?” Grape asked.

“Absolutely. I feel that if I don’t go back, I won’t be able to keep up with my fellow disciples,” Han Feiyu replied.

“By the way, the woman behind me is my cultivation partner. Can she come back to the sect with me?”

A beam of spiritual light scanned the woman behind Han Feiyu.

“Flower Spirit Clan, Golden Immortal; she can return to the sect and enjoy the benefits of being a partner of an inner sect disciple.”

As soon as Grape finished speaking, a teleportation formation, formed from the power of Holy Sun, appeared.

Han Feiyu stepped into the teleportation formation with the woman behind him.

Upon entering the Hidden Spirit Sect, Han Feiyu immediately sensed a unique aura.

After a moment of sensing, he hesitantly asked, “Is this Primordial Purple Qi?”

“Correct! After training outside for thousands of years, you’ve certainly gained some insight,” Wang Xiangchi, who was there to welcome his disciple, said with a smile.

“I used a bit when I advanced to Golden Immortal; it’s incredibly rare,” Han Feiyu remarked.

“Master, let me introduce you; this is my cultivation partner, Diehua.”

Wang Xiangchi glanced at the suddenly appeared disciple’s wife and, after rummaging through his space celestial tool, pulled out a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.

“It all happened so suddenly, and I wasn’t prepared, so please accept this Postnatal Spiritual Treasure as a token of my goodwill.”

Wang Xiangchi knew his disciple wasn’t short on resources, so he figured the gift didn’t need to be extravagant.

The woman looked at the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure, feeling a bit at a loss.

“Just take it; it’s not often that the master is this generous,” Han Feiyu said with a laugh.

“After you’ve caught up on the sect’s recent affairs, head to the treasure vault and pick up two heavenly spirit peaches,” Wang Xiangchi instructed.

“Thank you for the reminder, Master.”

“Master, during my years of cultivation, I received word from my junior brother Wujie.”

“He mentioned he’s in a secret realm within a star region, receiving the inheritance of a Great Saint named Jian Yun, and he won’t be able to leave for at least ten thousand years,” Han Feiyu explained.

Hearing about Jian Wujie, Wang Xiangchi nodded in relief.

“As long as he’s safe, that’s what matters.” Wang Xiangchi wasn’t particularly concerned about the Great Saint’s inheritance.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan sat in the courtyard, watching the River of Time flicker in the sky.

After years of seclusion, most of the disciples had advanced to the Golden Immortal level.

This meant the River of Time above Hidden Spirit Island never ceased flowing through the Three Thousand Realms.

“Big Brother Xu, has the sect changed this much in the thousands of years I’ve been away?” Wang Yulun asked, gazing at the endless Rivers of Time in the sky.

One after another, they stretched endlessly, sometimes with thousands of them swirling above the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“Not too much, just a slight acceleration in their progress to Golden Immortal,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

Just then, Zhang Weiyun arrived, carrying a food box.

She set down a Grand Dragon Feast on the table in front of them, along with a jar of aged dragon bone wine.

“You two haven’t seen each other in millennia; take this time to catch up.”

“I’ll go keep Qianer company,” Zhang Weiyun said before leaving.

“Congratulations, Big Brother Xu, on finally reuniting with Sister-in-law,” Wang Yulun said cheerfully.

“It wasn’t easy for us to come together; I’ll tell you about the struggles someday,” Xu Fan said with a grin.

“Grape, head to the Yuanshi Sect and enter the outer realms,” Xu Fan silently commanded, knowing he couldn’t yet handle the confidantes of his close friends.

Wang Yulun poured two cups of dragon bone wine and raised his in a toast; they drank together.

Then they began to enjoy the Grand Dragon Feast.

“This is excellent; it’s about eighty percent as good as the royal chef of the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty,” Wang Yulun remarked with a smile.

“Only eighty percent? Looks like there’s still work to do,” Xu Fan joked.

Suddenly, Wang Yulun seemed to sense something and glanced toward a distant point in the star region.

Countless divine senses began sealing off the space around the Hidden Spirit Sect.

But Grape was ready and instantly broke through the space, maneuvering the Hidden Spirit Sect away.

“Yulun, have you ever counted how many Great Saints are among your confidantes?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

Just that day, he had sensed sixteen Great Saints.

“I’m not sure, but there are plenty of saints, a few quasi-saints, and very few Great Luo,” Wang Yulun said, scratching his head.

“Big Brother Xu, what do we do now?” Wang Yulun asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

“If we can’t fight, we’ll run. When you’re strong enough, I’ll make sure you can stand proudly as their husband,” Xu Fan said with a chuckle.

“I’d hate to drag the entire sect into this. I’m sorry to trouble you, Big Brother Xu,” Wang Yulun said sheepishly.

“Don’t worry about it. If the sect had no enemies, it’d be too boring,” Xu Fan said, his gaze fixed on the Holy Sun’s light outside the Formation.

Since the sect had started using the power of Holy Sun to navigate the star region, they’d been surrounded by its light, as if floating in a sea of radiance.

“Big Brother Xu, two of my confidantes are said to be top-tier powerful beings in the Three Thousand Realms, and they’re currently in the outer realms.”

“If we go there, they’ll likely find us,” Wang Yulun said.

“If they find us, so be it. By then, you’ll have grown stronger,” Xu Fan said, smiling at Wang Yulun.

Finally, Xu Fan extracted the last shadow from Wang Yulun.

“I’ll help with the separation,” the shadow said, its expression complex as it looked at Xu Fan.

“It’s too late for that; things aren’t so simple anymore.”
