Chapter 328: The Misfortunate Small World
Upon hearing the words of the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple, Feng Chang Ning was overjoyed. If they could establish a teleportation formation, her Nine Phoenix Island could develop much faster.
“Thank you, senior sect disciple,” Feng Chang Ning expressed her gratitude.
“The pavilion master is too kind,” the disciple replied.
Under Little Spirit’s guidance, the three disciples skilled in formations began to set up the teleportation formation.
At that moment, one of the disciples took out a space ring and handed it to Feng Chang Ning.
“Pavilion master, the Grand Elder asked me to give you this spirit pearl. You can place this Spirit Gathering Formation disk wherever you need it.”
“Please convey my thanks to the Grand Elder,” Feng Chang Ning said as she accepted the space ring.
Soon after, a medium-sized teleportation formation was completed.
“It’s best if the pavilion master speaks directly with the Grand Elder,” the lead disciple said with a smile.
Feng Chang Ning nodded and stepped into the teleportation formation.
The teleportation formation of Hidden Spirit Island was located on a beach.
With a flash of spiritual light, Feng Chang Ning stepped out of the teleportation formation.
“Pavilion Master Feng, please come up to talk,” Xu Fan’s voice called out.
Following the sound, Feng Chang Ning saw Xu Fan enjoying the sea view from a distant pavilion.
“The Grand Elder is in high spirits,” Feng Chang Ning remarked as she appeared in the pavilion.
Xu Fan glanced back at Feng Chang Ning and said with a smile, “It seems the pavilion master has obtained an inheritance more powerful than I expected.”
In Xu Fan’s eyes, there was a faint aura of merit and fortune gathering above Feng Chang Ning; although it was weak and could be easily disrupted, it signified she had made significant progress and gained the recognition of the heavenly path.
With a merit and fortune aura, unless someone held an irrevocable grudge against her, it would be unlikely for them to harbor any killing intent towards her. This also represented the special protection granted by the heavenly path to this lineage.
“I’m still far from matching the Grand Elder,” Feng Chang Ning replied modestly.
“Haha, Pavilion Master Ning, don’t compare yourself to me,” Xu Fan laughed.
“This time I came with the sect mainly to provide all-around support for your Nine Phoenix Pavilion, or rather, the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.”
“Of course, rest assured, I have no intention of taking over your power; it’s just that your share of my merit and fortune is incredibly useful, so I came to help speed things up.”
“Thank you for the Grand Elder’s support for Nine Phoenix Pavilion.”
“Mutual benefit, huh? By the way, has Shi Zhan not returned yet?” Xu Fan asked, noting he hadn’t been able to reach Shi Zhan since their arrival at Hidden Spirit Island.
Speaking of Shi Zhan, a trace of worry appeared on Feng Chang Ning’s face.
“Shi Zhan mentioned he discovered a complete small world in the Endless Sea some time ago, but he hasn’t returned since he went out.”
“Could the Grand Elder help search for him?” Feng Chang Ning asked.
“About where?” Xu Fan’s eyes gleamed with excitement. For a sect, a complete small world could be invaluable with proper nurturing.
“Approximately 40,000 miles in the northwest direction.”
“40,000 miles? Isn’t that asking for death?” Xu Fan frowned; while it was only entering the deep-sea region, for someone at the Nascent Soul stage, it was still considered a perilous place where survival was extremely unlikely.
“He did it for me too,” Feng Chang Ning said softly, looking down.
“Understood. I will send someone to search,” Xu Fan replied.
To Xu Fan, a complete small world was like the one where Han Tianzun resided, with a strong Heavenly Way’s Will. Therefore, every cultivator who could ascend there belonged to the genius level in the middle thousand world.
Many major sects would cultivate the complete small worlds into places for nurturing talented disciples.
“Alright, let’s get to business. From now on, the Hidden Spirit Sect will spare no effort to help you develop Nine Phoenix Pavilion. How far we can go depends on your fortune,” Xu Fan stated, revealing the only purpose for summoning Feng Chang Ning.
“As long as Hidden Spirit Island is here, we will assist you.”
“Thank you, Grand Elder.”
After discussing a few other matters, Feng Chang Ning bowed and took her leave.
“If Feng Chang Ning really manages to thrive amidst the chaos, it will be a great gain,” Xu Fan said, watching Feng Chang Ning leave.
“Grape, what spirit ores are there on the seabed in this area?” Xu Fan asked, as it was also his greatest concern.
“Currently detected are heavy iron ore veins, scale copper spirit ore veins, an ultra-large black spirit pearl oyster field, and mysterious crystal stone veins…”
As he listened to Grape’s report, Xu Fan squinted and smiled.
“Not bad. Although they are just regular ore veins, they are much better than spirit iron ore veins.”
“Mine them vigorously. Once I design a few magical treasures, let’s get the treasure production line started.”
“By the way, get more of these ore veins and send them to Brother Sha,” Xu Fan added.
“Understood.”
After arranging everything, Xu Fan strolled in front of the main peak of Hidden Spirit Island.
“Old turtle, are you satisfied now?” Xu Fan asked, looking at the Tianji Turtle enjoying the cleansing of Celestial Blue Spiritual Liquid.
“Woo~~”
“Do you feel like you can enjoy your retirement here?”
“How old are you?” Xu Fan said to the Tianji Turtle, which hadn’t even reached the juvenile stage in the spirit turtle realm.
“Woo~~”
“Your kind has been searching for a place to stay until death since you were born.”
“True, it fits the characteristics of your race quite well,” Xu Fan remarked before heading towards Satellite Island.
At that moment, a group of Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys was screaming together, trying to resist the whip of the pangolin.
“Master, you’re here!” The pangolin exclaimed, quickly putting away the whip and running to Xu Fan’s side.
“What happened to them?” Xu Fan asked, surprised at the pangolin’s harshness with the monkeys.
“When those beast races first appeared, that group of Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys cheered, feeling as though they were saved.”
“If it weren’t for their usefulness to the master, I could have used the whip to beat them to death,” the pangolin said angrily.
“After all, they’ve only just arrived; things will improve,” Xu Fan said, patting the pangolin on the shoulder.
“I need the Core Formation Stage Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey for something. Please don’t injure it,” Xu Fan stated, planning to use that monkey to find the small world where Shi Zhan disappeared.
“Understood,” the pangolin promised.
Three days later, the Core Formation Stage Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey transformed into Xu Fan’s form and flew in the direction pointed out by Feng Chang Ning.
At the bottom of the Endless Sea, Xu Fan controlled the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey to turn into a sword fish and swam toward several suspicious locations.
“Truly a Core Formation stage! The spiritual energy, the explosive power, and the flow of spiritual energy feel incredibly smooth,” Xu Fan thought; it felt like switching from a used compact car to an Audi—pure bliss.
At this moment, Xu Fan spotted a hybrid dragon hidden at the seabed’s deepest point, its pure black body making it almost invisible to him.
At that moment, the sword fish transformed into a drop of seawater, swimming toward the hybrid dragon’s direction.
“Oh my, this small world is too unfortunate. Even the passage to the middle thousand world is guarded by a Core Formation stage hybrid dragon.”
“True, one flies up, and it just crunches them down,” Xu Fan remarked helplessly.
Just then, the hybrid dragon coiled in the center of the passage. With a flash of spiritual light, a body refinement cultivator at the Transformation Stage appeared in the passage.
“Upper realm, I am coming!” the body refinement cultivator shouted excitedly.
At that moment, the hybrid dragon slightly raised its head, opening its huge mouth, and directly swallowed the Transformation Stage body refinement cultivator whole.
“Crunch~~”
Before Xu Fan could act, the man vanished.
After a while, the hybrid dragon spat out a pile of clothes and a few magical treasures.
Xu Fan approached and saw that a deep pit was filled with the abandoned magical treasures of cultivators who had flown up from below.
“Truly unfortunate, with no chance at all.”
