Chapter 148: Fusion of the Two Realms

At the boundary of Moliang State, Xu Gang and his sister paused their activities and looked towards Xiangzhou.

"Junior sister, let’s hold off for now and wait for more information before we go deeper into Xiangzhou," Xu Gang suggested, noticing that the Dragon Immortal Palace above the camp had disappeared.

Xu Yuexian checked her communication artifact for a signal, and finding none, agreed, "You’re right. Master always said it’s best not to get involved in such situations without clear information. Let’s stick to hunting demons on the outskirts for now."

Since they were young, Xu Fan had taught them that in major events, unless you have solid information, it’s wise to stay out of the chaos unless you’re a person with a destined fate.

Meanwhile, hearing the roar of a giant beast, Ye Xiaoyao headed towards the nearest ancient beast forbidden area.

"Kid, this could be your chance to turn things around," Old Sword said excitedly in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind.

"The blood of the ancient beast, the heavy star chains, and the demon blood flower—these are treasures even in the Immortal Realm."

"Find someone who knows their value, and you could get your Dao artifact," Old Sword added.

Ye Xiaoyao, pushing the Sword Boat to its maximum speed, replied, "I’ll follow your lead this time. Tell me what to do."

"It’s simple. The respected elders of your realm will surely go to seal the ancient beast. We just need to enter the ancient beast forbidden area after they’re done."

"Just follow my instructions then," Old Sword assured him confidently.

At that moment, the Dragon Immortal Palace appeared near the Moliang State camp, in an ancient beast forbidden area, suppressing a massive ancient wolf that was ten thousand meters long.

Several Great Respected Elders were also helping in the suppression, while the Universe Ship had transported fifteen respected elders to another ancient beast forbidden area.

………………………

Three months later, Xu Fan emerged from the time chamber to relax, feeling a bit restless. He realized he had little to do at his current stage.

"I’ve reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. It seems I can’t work on the Five Elements Technique of the Transformation Stage now; I’ll have to wait until I reach the Golden Core Stage."

"I’ll leave the puppet army as it is for now; there’s no rush to upgrade it."

"The protective mountain formation has reached its limit. To upgrade it further, I’ll need to wait until I reach the Golden Core."

Xu Fan walked by the waterfall of spiritual liquid, observing a pair of affectionate little deer by the lake. Although the male deer appeared young, it didn’t stop them from showing affection.

In the spiritual liquid lake, a golden turtle, as large as a grinding disc, was enjoying the spiritual liquid flowing over its shell.

This Tianji Turtle had been brought back by Little Flower Deer months ago. Before Xu Fan could insist it stay overnight, the turtle had settled itself in the spiritual liquid lake.

According to Little Flower Deer, it was like a poor boy entering the city, instantly captivated by everything.

Xu Fan fed the Tianji Turtle some high-grade spirit feeding pills, strengthening their bond.

Now, the Tianji Turtle was like a three-year-old child, unaware of where its parents were.

"It’s a shame; otherwise, I could invite your parents to stay here so you could all be together," Xu Fan said regretfully.

Meanwhile, more disciples began to gather around the spiritual liquid lake, coming to meditate by the water.

"Grand Elder!" the disciples greeted respectfully.

Xu Fan nodded several times before they settled down.

Suddenly, Xu Fan realized his sect lacked a place to help disciples comprehend their Dao. A cultivator can’t focus solely on enhancing fighting strength; other aspects must also develop.

So, Xu Fan sent a message to Pang Fu, asking him to search for a thousand-year-old phoenix tree.

After finishing his tasks, Xu Fan continued to wander around to relax. In a pavilion, he encountered Wang Xiangchi and Li Xingci, who were sparring with each other. Both held their magical spirit swords, engaging in a duel without using any spiritual energy.

Although they weren’t using spiritual energy, the immense power of their Golden Core Stage made the air around them vibrate with the sound of sword qi, flashing with sword light, and leaving numerous sword marks on the ground nearby.

When they saw Xu Fan approaching, both of them immediately stopped and turned to him.

"Keep going; pretend I’m not here."

"Actually, this kind of sparring is helpful for swordsmanship," Xu Fan added with a smile. He noticed traces of ancient martial sword techniques in Li Xingci’s moves.

"It’s just casual practice; it doesn’t deserve Master’s praise," Li Xingci humbly replied.

"You’re being humble again," Xu Fan said, then turned to Wang Xiangchi and asked, "Xiangchi, how have you been in the sect these past few months? Are you getting used to it?"

His third disciple used to be restless, and since leaving the sect, he hadn’t stayed anywhere for this long.

"I’ve had my fill of demon-hunting battles; now it’s nice to relax and spend time with Master and my parents," Wang Xiangchi replied.

"When there’s nothing to do, I can spar with the fourth junior brother, but it’s a pity the Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister are not around." Wang Xiangchi mentioned, as he had made significant progress in swordsmanship during his time in the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"That’s good; it seems you have truly found your own path," Xu Fan said with satisfaction. He hadn’t expected Li Xingci’s Cycle of Rebirth effect to be so profound. Maybe he should set up a Rebirth Hall for the disciples to experience.

"All thanks to Master’s excellent teaching," Wang Xiangchi replied with a straight face.

"………….."

His expressionless praise felt out of place; it seemed Xu Fan needed to have a talk with his father about his education.

At that moment, the sun rose in the east, and Xu Fan looked through the protective mountain formation at the newly risen sun.

"I wonder what the sun in the middle thousand world looks like. Just the area of the cultivation world probably isn’t illuminated by just one sun from my past life," Xu Fan mused.

In the cultivation world, just the border regions of several small countries in Xiangzhou equaled the area of the Blue Planet from his previous life, let alone the entire Xiangzhou.

The cultivation world had over a thousand continents, not to mention the Endless Sea, which had never been explored by any cultivator.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly fixed his gaze on a spot in the sky.

"The ominous feeling is growing stronger," Xu Fan murmured.

The last time he had such a strong premonition, he was forced to escape from the Que Tian Gate to the central continent.

Meanwhile, outside the Feiyu Realm, a formation large enough to cover an entire continent appeared on the outer wall of the Feiyu Realm, with a Universe Ship guarding it.

"If it weren’t for the fusion of the two realms, even expanding this formation ten times wouldn’t suffice," the Starry-Eyed Boy observed from the Universe Ship, looking at the massive rune formation.

"Let’s begin the fusion of the two realms, starting with the central continent."

"As the saying goes, ‘One must break before they can establish.’ The central continent enjoys the best resources in the entire realm, and it must shoulder the banner against the beast race."

At that moment, over a hundred Great Ascension Stage cultivators appeared within the formation, with the Starry-Eyed Boy standing at its center.

"Thousand Chains Merging the Realms, rise!"

The enormous formation shone with brilliant spiritual light, and a thousand gigantic chains emerged from the formation, extending into the depths of the void.

The entire Feiyu Realm resonated with the sounds of the chains clattering.

The massive chains that rushed out of the formation made the Ten Thousand Star Ship look like an ordinary wooden boat.

"In at most 20 years, the two realms will start to merge. Go back and inform all the sects to prepare for battle," said the Starry-Eyed Boy calmly.

"In no more than two thousand years, this cultivation world will undergo a transformation. By then, the number of ascenders from this world alone will be enough to establish the Feiyu Immortal Gate firmly in the Small Thousand Worlds."

"But first, we must eradicate all the beast races."

A flicker of killing intent passed through the Starry-Eyed Boy’s eyes as he recalled his deep-seated grudges with several demon emperors in the Demon Spirit Realm.

……………………

When Xu Fan heard the clinking of chains, he closed his eyes and began using divination techniques to foresee the future.

Predicting major events was usually challenging, but before Xu Fan even employed his secret divination technique, visions of the future appeared in his mind.

"Has this information already been leaked? Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to deduce it so easily."

"The fusion of the two realms will begin at the central continent, sparking a monumental battle between the two races."

Xu Fan immediately felt uneasy and muttered, "Damn it, can’t we ever catch a break?"

Feeling the weight of the impending future, Xu Fan was visibly stressed.

His two devoted disciples, standing beside him, asked with concern, "Master, what’s wrong? What was that sound of chains?"

Hearing their voices, Xu Fan sighed. Being in the same era as the protagonist meant that major events were always just around the corner.

"Focus on your cultivation. In no more than 20 years, the Human Realm and the Demon Realm will begin to merge, starting from the central continent."

"Previously, I didn’t set any strict requirements for your cultivation, but now you must reach the Nascent Soul Stage within 20 years."

"Of course, your combat skills must also be top-notch; this is crucial for your survival."

"After your Uncle Sha arrives, I will enter seclusion," Xu Fan instructed them.

"Understood, Master!" they both responded earnestly, fully aware of the importance of the fusion of the two realms.

Over the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, Xu Fan intended to return to seclusion after checking on his turtle, but upon seeing it, he was in for a surprise.

"You’ve all evolved?" Xu Fan exclaimed, observing the turtles with their varied appearances.

Each turtle’s shell displayed a unique color, covering the spectrum from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, to purple.

"Let me check your bloodlines: Crystal Dragon Turtle, Red Flame Spirit Turtle, Celestial Turtle, Purple Sky Turtle, Three-Headed Turtle, Giant Void Turtle, Heavenly Water Spirit Turtle, Ten Thousand Wood Spirit Turtle…"

Just then, Lei Wenxi approached Xu Fan.

"Wenxi, what have you been feeding them? Why are their bloodlines so diverse?" Xu Fan asked, surprised. The spirit pills capable of purifying beast bloodlines were typically only refined by master-level alchemists.

"I wanted to inform the Grand Elder, but I was afraid of disturbing his seclusion, so I decided to wait until he emerged."

"I only fed them my homemade spirit feeding pills; nothing else."

"Later, I noticed they had different preferences. Some liked spirit feeding pills made from water attribute beast bones and flesh, while others preferred those made from fire attribute ingredients."

"So, I tailored the spirit feeding pills to their tastes."

"But I didn’t expect them to turn out like this after feeding," Lei Wenxi explained nervously, looking at Xu Fan.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly considered making Lei Wenxi the head chef in the cafeteria.
