Chapter 306: To Save Your Brother, Trade for a Thousand Years of Life
In the main peak’s dojo on Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan once again examined Wang Yulun’s body.
“That strange energy has grown stronger,” Xu Fan said, his expression grim. His good brother’s injuries were worse than he had anticipated.
“Big Brother Xu, don’t stress yourself too much over me. Let fate take its course,” Wang Yulun replied with a smile, showing a calm acceptance of life and death.
“Fate brought you to me, so you’re not going to die.”
Xu Fan placed his hand on Wang Yulun’s shoulder once more, a mysterious aura radiating from him as countless scriptures enveloped the two.
Guided by the scriptures, Xu Fan’s consciousness probed the strange force within Wang Yulun’s soul, determined to uncover its source.
The scriptures surrounding them expanded, covering the entire main peak and forcing everyone inside to leave.
Xu Fan’s consciousness carefully approached the strange energy.
Suddenly, Xu Fan’s mind was pulled into a mystical space, a paradise-like realm.
A beautiful woman in her twenties was washing clothes by a door, while a boy and a girl played happily in the distance.
“You shouldn’t be here,” the woman said lightly, not looking up from her task.
“My husband was supposed to join me soon, but a mere Golden Core like you has managed to extend the time.”
As Xu Fan observed the woman, countless possibilities raced through his mind based on her words.
“The past is behind us. In this life, Wang Yulun is my brother, and I won’t let him die.”
“I hope you can let go of your obsession and spare my brother,” Xu Fan urged.
“You’re right, but I’m not one to take advice,” the woman said, rising to shoo Xu Fan away.
Just then, a man who looked strikingly like Wang Yulun approached, carrying two buckets of water, his face glowing with joy.
“Dear, I’m back! Look what I brought for you,” the man said, holding up a pastry while balancing the water.
The woman ignored Xu Fan and went to the man, gently helping him set down the buckets.
“Don’t buy pastries from Widow Wang anymore. She looks at you in a way I don’t like,” she whispered, her tone soft and affectionate.
“She’s a single mother; life isn’t easy for her. Besides, no one compares to you,” the man replied with a chuckle.
Then, he noticed Xu Fan standing nearby.
“Who are you?” the man asked, feeling an inexplicable familiarity with Xu Fan.
“Just a traveler passing through, hoping for a drink,” Xu Fan said with a smile, beginning to understand why this man bore such a resemblance to his good brother.
“Xiao Yun, invite our guest in for some tea,” the man said kindly.
“Alright, you watch Xiao Fei and Xiao Hu,” the woman replied before leading Xu Fan inside.
As Xu Fan sipped his tea, the man returned with the two children, who smiled at Xu Fan as they joined him.
When it was time for Xu Fan to leave, the woman sent him a message.
“If you want to save your brother, it’s possible. This secret realm was created using nearly a thousand years of my husband’s life—your brother’s life. It can only last for a limited time.”
“To save him, return when the secret realm is on the verge of collapse and trade a thousand years of your life. I’ll need to accelerate time and draw energy from you to sustain the realm.”
“If you don’t come, your brother will return to me.”
Xu Fan barely had time to react before a repulsive force ejected him from the secret realm.
As soon as he stepped out, his consciousness snapped back into his body.
Wang Yulun, seeing Xu Fan grinning like a fool, was utterly confused.
He waved his hand in front of Xu Fan’s face.
“Big Brother Xu, snap out of it! What’s going on with you?”
Xu Fan suddenly came to his senses and grabbed Wang Yulun’s shoulders excitedly.
“You truly are my brother.”
“Yulun, as long as I’m alive, even if it costs me a thousand deaths, I’ll make sure you’re safe,” Xu Fan declared with unwavering determination.
Sacrificing a thousand years of his lifespan to save his brother—such a rare and precious act. Where else in the world could he find a brother who offered a hundredfold return?
“Big Brother Xu, my broken body isn’t worth this sacrifice,” Wang Yulun said, deeply moved.
“Brother, trust me.”
With that, Xu Fan retracted the surrounding scriptures and vanished from Wang Yulun’s sight.
“Big Brother Xu…” Wang Yulun stood there, speechless, unable to process what had just happened.
In the underground space, Xu Fan’s face lit up with wild excitement.
“Has it become a thousandfold return now?” he exclaimed, overjoyed. He hadn’t expected his brother’s return to bring such an incredible surprise.
Could it be that the longer the cycle, the greater the return?
At that moment, Xu Fan felt a profound clarity, as if his entire being had been rejuvenated by this stroke of good fortune.
“What stance should I take to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?”
Xu Fan began to ponder this question deeply.
“Grape, deploy two Demon Suppressing Stars to keep watch over Wang Yulun’s mountain. Make sure nothing goes wrong,” Xu Fan ordered.
“Understood.”
“Also, station ten Void Refinement Stage Puppets around my brother for protection.”
“Understood.”
“And raise the security level of the Precious Artifact Satellite in orbit to maximum.”
“Understood.”
In that instant, Wang Yulun became the most treasured asset of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
At the peak of an unnamed mountain within the sect, Xu Fan sat cross-legged, beginning to refine and modify the Five Elements Technique he planned to cultivate after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
This was a plan he had intended to execute centuries later, but now it had to be accelerated.
The entire sect could feel the Grand Elder’s joy radiating through the air.
The once-rare clarification conferences were now being held almost every few days, leading to a surge in cultivation levels and fighting strength among the sect’s disciples. Many Second-Generation Disciples had already broken through to the Golden Core Stage.
The Transformation God-level giant turtle in the spiritual liquid lake basked in Xu Fan’s lavish attention.
Even the auspicious beasts within the sect were treated to their own special afternoon tea of Spiritual Fruits.
On Satellite Island, the pangolins, following Xu Fan’s instructions, showed an unusual gentleness, reducing their daily beatings from three to two.
Members of the Outer Sect noticed a significant increase in welfare tasks being assigned.
Meanwhile, in the main peak’s dojo, Xu Fan met with his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
“Xu Lingtai pays his respects to Master Ancestor.”
“Junior Ji Yunxi greets the elder,” Xu Lingtai and Ji Yunxi said in unison, bowing respectfully.
“Rise,” Xu Fan said with a warm smile.
“I’m aware of your situation.”
“From now on, the Hidden Spirit Sect is your home. Whatever happened in the past, we’ll handle it,” Xu Fan declared with confidence, his tone fitting for someone on the brink of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
“Thank you, elder,” Ji Yunxi said gratefully.
“We’re family now—no need for thanks,” Xu Fan replied kindly.
To an outsider, it might seem as though Xu Lingtai was Xu Fan’s own grandson.
“Since you’ve returned to the sect, the fifth day of next month is an auspicious date. It’s the perfect time for you to hold your wedding,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Thank you, Master Ancestor, for your blessing.”
