Chapter 1236: The Gift of the Sage

A radiant light enveloped the entire Hidden Spirit Sect, guiding it as it flew toward the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

The feeling was akin to a son returning home after years of wandering, welcomed warmly by his family.

"I didn’t expect the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Immortal Realm to pull this off," Xu Fan chuckled.

"According to the database, if there are many Sages or Great Sages in an Immortal Realm, it can also nourish the Immortal Realm, making it stronger," Grape explained.

"You know, the Wood Origin Immortal Realm isn’t doing well compared to the other Immortal Realms I’ve seen," Xu Yuexian remarked.

The Hidden Spirit Sect allowed itself to be drawn by the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, landing in a splendid place filled with celestial spirits.

At that moment, all living beings in the Immortal Realm heard a divine melody.

Endless radiant light covered the entire human territory, showering down blossoms of merit one after another.

The Great Luo Sages of the human race in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm looked up at the flowers of merit falling from the sky.

"The sign of becoming a Saint—who has achieved Sainthood?" the human Great Luo exclaimed in surprise.

Outside the Hidden Spirit Sect, two quasi-saints respectfully saluted the sect.

"Greetings, Sage!"

"We’re old friends; there’s no need for such formality," Xu Fan’s voice echoed in their ears.

At the same time, an irresistible force lifted the two quasi-saints.

Now, other quasi-saints from several races also appeared outside the Hidden Spirit Sect, bowing in the highest tribute to the sect.

Meanwhile, those foreign races still occupying the human territory received orders to withdraw at the fastest speed.

"I am the Sage of the human race. In the future, we will occupy half of this Immortal Realm. Do any of you have objections?"

A powerful thought lingered over the foreign powerful beings.

Under Xu Fan’s immense thoughts, the foreign quasi-saints felt like ants before a giant beast.

"Step back; the human race will occupy fifty percent of the Immortal Realm, and a millennium later, I will no longer interfere in its affairs," Xu Fan’s voice resonated.

"Understood, Sage," the foreign quasi-saints cautiously retreated.

In the guest hall, Xu Fan met the two human quasi-saints.

"Sage, from now on, the human race in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm will honor the Hidden Spirit Sect and hold the Sage in high regard," said a red-haired quasi-saint.

"No need for that; I have already drawn the boundaries for half of the Immortal Realm."

"My Hidden Spirit Sect will not interfere in the affairs of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm nor occupy its resources."

"For the next millennium, the human race can develop in peace," Xu Fan stated.

Now, the trifles of the Three Thousand Realms no longer held any allure for Xu Fan.

"Obeying your command, Sage."

The two quasi-saints bowed and withdrew.

"Grape, inform the disciples that they have worked hard during this period. For some time to come, there are no important matters in the sect, so they should rest and focus on their training," Xu Fan instructed.

"Understood, Master."

After the Hidden Spirit Sect settled down, the entire Immortal Realm fell into a calm state.

With the human territory at its center, all foreign races began to withdraw, conceding half of the Immortal Realm.

The major forces of the human race in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm welcomed an opportunity for growth.

With half of the Immortal Realm granted to the human race, vast territories became available for exploration and development.

Within the original territory of the human race, all forces began to recruit frantically, offering incredibly generous conditions.

All sects welcomed anyone with spirit roots as disciples, who would then be assigned to new sect locations.

The common folk of the human race in the Immortal Realm felt a noticeable improvement in their lives since the day the blossoms of merit fell.

Everything happening with the human race in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm did not disrupt the Hidden Spirit Sect.

At that moment, Senior Huangshan arrived at the Hidden Spirit Sect, carrying twelve newborn human babies.

"Yuan Lord thought it would be a hassle and added a few more. I wonder if Grand Elder Xu will accept them," Senior Huangshan asked with a smile.

"Senior Huangshan is too polite; there’s no reason not to accept them."

Xu Fan looked at the twelve extraordinary tiny babies and suddenly wondered if he should find them some nursemaids.

"Then I’ll trouble Grand Elder Xu with this."

After Senior Huangshan spoke, he left, leaving the floating babies behind.

"Grape, arrange for these babies to be fostered by families with good character from the mortal realm," Xu Fan instructed.

Within the Hidden Spirit Sect, there had always been a world where the families of disciples lived.

These people had gradually evolved from a city into a world that existed within the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"Understood, Master."

A gentle holy light surrounded the babies, and then they vanished.

"These children have exceptional talents, and it’s not a problem for them to smoothly reach the saint realm.

As for the Great Saint Realm, that’s even better," Xu Fan said with a smile.

He felt that the transaction he made with the Yuanshi Sect was almost like a gift.

"The sect is without important matters, so it’s time for me to take a break," Xu Fan stated as he stood up.

"I’ve been busy all these years and haven’t taken a proper rest."

In the courtyard, Xu Fan lay back in a reclining chair, leisurely gazing at the sky of the Immortal Realm.

Zhang Weiyun accompanied him, presenting a picture of domestic relaxation.

"Grape, Weiyun and I are going out for a bit; don’t bother me with anything except matters concerning the existence of the sect," Xu Fan instructed.

"Understood, Master."

A small spiritual boat carried Xu Fan and Zhang Weiyun toward the human territory.

At that moment, in the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation Hall of the human territory, a handsome and elegant young man emerged, followed by six men radiating a Great Luo aura.

"I’ve finally returned," Ye Xiaoyao said, sensing the atmosphere of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

"Don’t talk too much; hurry and find a place to establish the Celestial Sword Sect," a voice inside Ye Xiaoyao said.

"Old Sword, don’t be so anxious; it’s just that your old rival has discovered us."

"With my current strength, I may not be able to confront him, but escaping is definitely not a problem," Ye Xiaoyao declared with vigor.

"Be careful. Last time, you only faced his clone, which, though a Sage’s fighting strength, is nowhere near his full power."

"What you need to do now is to bring a few more allies from the Immortal Realm to ensure your chances of survival when confronting him later," Old Sword advised.

"Don’t worry; we’ve weathered many storms over the years, and victory is now within reach. I will definitely be cautious," Ye Xiaoyao reassured Old Sword.

Just as Ye Xiaoyao wanted to find someone to inquire about the recent situation in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, he suddenly sensed the strands of merit power contained within the celestial energy.

"Wait, someone from the Wood Origin Immortal Realm has recently advanced to become a Sage."

"Xiaoyao, go find out more; see if you can form a connection," Old Sword urged.

"Understood."

Not long later, Ye Xiaoyao emerged from an organization that specializes in selling information, his face radiant with excitement.

"This is a great opportunity; that Sage said he would not interfere in the matters of the Immortal Realm, so he definitely won’t."

"You can use your quasi-saint strength to take advantage and develop the Celestial Sword Sect."
