Chapter 313: The Feelings You Have for Your Brother Will Eventually Be Misplaced
In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan looked at the message from Xu Gang and breathed a sigh of relief.
“If a respected elder can suppress the natural passage, then we’re in a better position.”
Xu Fan had been worried that a group of beast kings might come through the passage. After destroying Lin Sen Fairy City, their next target would undoubtedly be the Hidden Spirit Sect.
If that happened, all his previous efforts would have been wasted.
A light curtain appeared in front of Xu Fan, showing the first clone crafting tool puppet parts for the Hidden Spirit Island.
“Main body, what’s going on?” The first clone’s voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
“We need to speed up. The fusion of the two realms has already caused a natural passage to appear, and it’s getting dangerous,” Xu Fan said.
“I’ll accelerate the crafting of the Hidden Spirit Island tool puppet parts,” the first clone replied, its eyes softening as it looked at Xu Fan.
“Good,” Xu Fan nodded.
“How dangerous are we talking?” the first clone asked, narrowing its eyes.
“I’ll need to craft artifact components too,” Xu Fan said, his expression serious.
“So it’s really that bad.”
“Understood. I’ll speed up the crafting of the Hidden Spirit Island tool puppet parts,” the first clone said, nodding.
“Thanks,” Xu Fan added.
The first clone gave Xu Fan a light glance before returning to its No Self state.
After the call ended, Xu Fan couldn’t help but think that his clone had grown and developed its own thoughts.
In the underground space, after placing orders with Pang Fu, Xu Fan summoned the second clone.
“Well, there’s no avoiding it. Main body, let’s begin,” the second clone said.
“I’ll restore your consciousness once the sect is fully stable,” Xu Fan said, a flicker of pain in his eyes.
Xu Fan reached out and gently tapped, splitting a fragment of his soul—imbued with all his knowledge of artifact crafting—and merging it into the second clone.
“Sss~” Xu Fan hissed in pain; splitting his soul was no ordinary agony.
Once the second clone absorbed Xu Fan’s soul, its gaze turned emotionless and rational.
“Wait here. Spirit ore will arrive soon,” Xu Fan instructed.
Meanwhile, by the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, Jian Wujie spotted Han Feiyu.
“Feiyu.”
“Wujie.”
The two exchanged smiles. Back at Celestial Sword Academy, they had been top-tier students under Wang Xiangchi, both friends and rivals. Their bond had only grown stronger after becoming Wang Xiangchi’s disciples.
On the spiritual boat, Han Feiyu glanced at Jian Wujie’s Hidden Spirit Sect robe and asked, “Wujie, how big is our master’s sect?”
“I’ve only heard you talk about how strong the senior brothers are, but I don’t know much about the sect itself.”
Jian Wujie thought for a moment and said, “Our master’s sect is massive, several times larger than Celestial Sword Academy. The senior brothers are all incredibly kind—they treat each other like family.”
“You’ll see when you get there. If you want to learn alchemy, there’s a master alchemist-level senior brother in charge of alchemy. You’ll be able to learn directly from him.”
“As long as you want to learn, there will be someone to teach you,” Jian Wujie said happily.
Jian Wujie was thrilled to see Han Feiyu so excited, mainly because he now had an ally for future battle royale games.
The spiritual boat flew through a gap created by the sect’s grand formation.
“Is that the Heavenly River?” Han Feiyu asked.
“That’s a waterfall, and the liquid flowing down is all spiritual liquid. But it’s currently closed because the sect’s spirit beasts are pregnant. It used to be a massive spiritual liquid lake. Pretty amazing, right?” Jian Wujie explained.
“Impressive,” Han Feiyu said, though he wasn’t overly surprised. He had a spring eye stone in his space ring, which he had upgraded to a spring, allowing him to produce high-concentration spiritual liquid wherever he placed it.
“Let’s head to Master’s mountain first and wait there. Later, you can register and set up your own cave dwelling,” Jian Wujie suggested.
“What’s Master doing?” Han Feiyu asked curiously.
“He’s feeding monkeys. He should be back soon.”
Meanwhile, on a plain in Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan was modifying the giant beast race warships.
“Han Feiyu has arrived,” Grape reported.
“Let him come. I used to avoid everything out of fear of getting tangled in deep karma, but now I know I can’t escape it, so I’ll face it head-on,” Xu Fan said while crafting parts for the giant beast race warships.
“Let the protagonists come; I’ll make sure they feel at home,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
In Xu Fan’s view, as long as the protagonists were treated well in the sect and the sect showed them genuine care, it would cut down on half the trouble.
And if a protagonist caused a major problem and someone came after the sect, it was crucial to stand firm and back the protagonist.
Once all this was done, as long as the sect survived, the benefits of having the protagonists around would be worth it once they grew stronger.
“Grape, give Han Feiyu the same level of attention as Jian Wujie,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Understood.”
Xu Fan continued working on the giant beast race warships.
Time flew by, and a year passed, with spring turning to autumn.
The natural passage in Lin Sen Fairy City showed no unusual activity, and the Hidden Spirits carried on as usual.
But Xu Fan grew more and more excited as time went on.
At this point, Wang Yulun, who had reached the Golden Core Stage, looked at Xu Fan, who was barely containing his excitement, and wondered what could be making him so happy.
“Big Brother Xu, do you have a solution?” Wang Yulun asked, feeling the strange energy stirring inside him.
“Don’t speak,” Xu Fan said, placing a hand on Wang Yulun’s crown.
Xu Fan found himself in the enchanting Peach Blossom Spring, where a woman in the secret realm was teaching two young children.
The woman glanced up at Xu Fan.
“It seems you really care about your brother, coming here every day to check on him,” she said softly.
At that moment, the sky above Peach Blossom Spring was filled with cracks, threatening to collapse at any second.
“Have you made up your mind? Are you really willing to trade your lifespan for your brother’s chance to survive?”
“I forgot to mention that keeping this secret realm intact requires your brother’s lifespan, but you can also use your own,” the woman communicated through thought.
Hearing this, Xu Fan felt a surge of excitement, realizing that such an opportunity could keep coming.
With great effort, he stayed calm and put on a brave face, saying, “Don’t talk about a thousand years of lifespan; even if it’s ten thousand, I’ll stand in front of my brother.”
Xu Fan’s words left the woman momentarily speechless.
After a pause, she seemed to recall something important and looked at Xu Fan with a strange expression. “I’ve also gone through this lifetime’s husband’s memories, and honestly, the bond between you two doesn’t go that far.”
“Now you’re willing to die for your brother; aside from some unusual affection, I can’t think of any other reason a man would be willing to die for another man.”
“What a shame, your feelings for your brother will end up being wasted,” the woman said, shaking her head.
