Chapter 155: Kid, You’ve Hit the Jackpot
"We’re still short on points for the gift we’re preparing for our master. Given the current situation, it’s getting tougher for the two of us to keep scoring big points."
"With more and more great beings showing up at the Xiangzhou border, our chances are getting slimmer."
"I think we should prioritize redeeming the treasure containing the immortal text for our master. We can worry about the Tian Ji Spirit Pill later."
"I still have some wood essence; it’s useful for our master and anyone below the Void Refinement stage," Xu Yuexian said.
"Alright, I’ll go with your plan. It’s been a while since we left, and I really miss our master."
"Once we get the immortal text treasure, we should head back to the sect. I’m worried about our master being unprotected," Xu Gang said.
"Don’t you miss Ling Tai and your sister-in-law?" Xu Yuexian teased with a smile.
"Of course I do; I just don’t talk about it," Xu Gang replied lightly.
"Alright, let’s take down a few more groups of the beast race. Once we’ve got enough points, we’ll head home."
"Agreed."
At Qianling Sect, the two Core Formation Stage Elders looked displeased.
Since they got the Heart of the Puppet, not a single puppet has been damaged. Yet, disciples below the genius level have barely managed to challenge them, often ending in a draw.
Only one peerless disciple, using his incredible speed, managed to cut off a puppet’s arm before being thrown out of the arena.
The puppet then reattached its arm. Xu Fan had designed these puppets to detach at the point of impact under heavy attack.
After a battle, if the puppet wins, it retrieves its detached parts. If undamaged, it reattaches them; if not, it replaces them with new parts.
Now, the disciples of Qianling Sect are feeling the same frustration as those from the Hidden Spirit Sect.
"Today, I realized these youngsters are truly lacking. Should we have our geniuses challenge these puppets?" the blue-robed Core Formation stage cultivator pondered.
He was also reflecting on whether he could have defeated these puppets back in his Nascent Soul stage.
As he spoke, another Golden Core stage disciple was thrown out of the challenge area.
"Let’s implement a new sect rule: Disciples below the Void Refinement stage must challenge the puppets ten times a year."
"Challengers must record their attempts. If there’s no improvement in five years, they’ll be classified as mediocre."
"Also, let’s revise the criteria for becoming a sect genius. Only those who defeat six puppets of the same level can be promoted."
Seeing the true fighting strength of these puppets, he understood why Zhang Han’s abilities rivaled those of a genius.
Constant challenges from these puppets could turn even the mediocre into formidable fighters.
"Understood."
Nearby, a Transformation Stage steward wiped sweat from his brow, feeling overwhelmed just by the sight of the Nascent Soul stage puppets.
Then, the blue-robed Core Formation stage cultivator’s assistant said, "So, are we going ahead with these challenge puppets?"
"Yes, we must. Let’s also buy two more sets; that should cover our sect’s needs," the blue-robed Core Formation stage cultivator decided.
"Should we try to negotiate a lower price since we’re approaching a bulk purchase?" the assistant asked.
"Let’s stick to the original price. We might need to ask that kid for more favors later," the blue-robed Core Formation stage cultivator said after some thought.
Some things can’t be rushed. He was now certain that the Foundation Establishment stage practitioner, who looked like a gatekeeper, was indeed the Creation Spirit Master they were seeking.
“Alright.” The Core Formation stage sidekick nodded. This was his professional habit; those spirit stones were just a drop in the bucket compared to the monthly spirit stone purchases of the sect, especially since they were exchanged for spirit ore and exotic treasures.
…………………
At this moment, within the time chamber, Xu Fan, who was refining the Heart of the Puppet, received an order from Qianling Sect.
“Haha, I need to order two more sets. Not bad, it’s worth spending so long playing the fool,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“I will refine two more Hearts of the Puppet and three fifth-grade precious artifacts for the trial tower. As for the puppets, I can just refurbish the ones I made earlier.”
“Does this mean I can expand two more Nascent Soul stage puppet production lines?” Xu Fan pondered while stroking his chin.
“I suggest the master expand one line. This way, when the master advances to Golden Core stage later, these production lines won’t fall behind,” the electronic voice of Grape replied.
“Alright, then I’ll produce one. After all, it’s quite expensive, and prices have skyrocketed lately,” Xu Fan said.
Although he earned spirit stones, he did not become arrogant. In the future, the tools and Star Ships he needed to refine would be bottomless pits; these spirit stones were just a drop in the ocean.
………………….
Outside the Feiyu Realm, the giant chains were suddenly pulled tight.
The respected elder on the Ten Thousand Star Ship slowly opened his eyes.
“The two realms are connected; all that’s left is to slowly pull back.”
“I believe those beast emperors will find it unbelievable to see the Demon Spirit Realm being dragged towards the Human Realm.”
“But in the end, they will realize they are just a plate of food.”
As the giant chains reached maximum tension, the entire Feiyu Realm shook, and then the thousands of giant chains began to retract at a very slow speed.
“It’s finally about to begin. The moment the Feiyu Realm transcends will be the moment I become an immortal.”
On the top deck of the Ten Thousand Star Ship, the Starry-Eyed Boy looked at the giant chains that were slowly retracting.
Outside the Demon Spirit Realm, a giant Kunpeng with wings stretching a thousand miles laughed as it watched the chains connected to the Demon Spirit Realm.
“Isn’t living good? Why seek death?”
“In that case, let me help you out.”
The Kunpeng looked at the chains and said.
“My little treasure, come out.”
With that call, a hidden figure appeared.
A void giant python, thousands of miles long, materialized outside the Demon Spirit Realm.
Its golden snake eyes, comparable to the sun and moon, fixed on the Kunpeng, as if waiting for further orders.
“Put in some effort; I want to meet those little darlings who are seeking their own doom,” the Kunpeng said.
‘Whoosh~~’
The void giant python nodded and flew towards the chains connected to the root of the Demon Spirit Realm, beginning to pull forcefully towards the direction of the Feiyu Realm.
At that moment, the speed of the chain’s retraction increased slightly.
“Looks like they’ve started moving too. Let me guess, it should be that stinky bird.”
“That fellow always wants to use his little treasure to get one over on me. His thinking is quite right, but his brain isn’t very useful.”
Recalling the days when he had transformed into a beast emperor and called that silly bird a brother, a smile crept onto the lips of the Starry-Eyed Boy.
“I wonder how big your little treasure has grown. I hope it’s not still less than a thousand miles long by the time I take over.”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be interesting.”
After confirming that the connecting chains between the two realms were fine, the Ten Thousand Star Ship dove back into the Feiyu Realm.
At the border of Xiangzhou and Moliang State, Ye Xiaoyao, who had just wiped out a group of the beast race, was gathering the spoils with the disciples of the Sword King Sect.
“Old Sword, is another ancient demon coming out? I just felt the entire space tremble,” Ye Xiaoyao asked in his heart.
“It’s not an ancient demon; it’s the voice of merit,” Old Sword chuckled.
“I didn’t expect those big shots from the cultivation world to be so grand. Kid, you have arrived at a great time.”
