Chapter 358: The Calamity Affects the Fish Pond
After Xu Fan observed the celestial phenomena, he began to chat with Wang Yulun.
"Yulun, do you think your wife has ever suspected that Xingci is your son?" Xu Fan asked curiously.
"I think Qianer must have her suspicions," Wang Yulun sighed.
"I feel like your wife probably knows. Why not try being honest with her?" Xu Fan suggested with a smile.
"Um, I think I’ll pass on that. Let it happen naturally," Wang Yulun said, gazing at the starry sky.
Xu Fan waved his hand, and a small table appeared between them, set with three dishes of snacks and two pots of spirit wine.
"Seeing you so down, let’s have a drink," Xu Fan said as he picked up a pot of wine.
"Alright."
While the two were drinking, the base formation of Hidden Spirit Island quietly lit up with spiritual light, moving the sect a thousand miles northwest toward the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake.
Many disciples who had practiced all night only realized that the entire sect had changed locations when they stepped outside.
Moreover, today the sect had canceled all tasks and set up a protective barrier to prevent anyone from leaving.
Xu Fan stood atop the main peak, looking towards the direction of the Extreme Void Domain.
"Grand Elder, what did you foresee?" Ning Dao appeared beside Xu Fan.
"Last night, I observed the celestial phenomena and discovered that the area where Hidden Spirit Island is located has become a place of great disaster, so I decided to move the sect to a safer location," Xu Fan explained.
At that moment, a Star Ship carrying flames descended from the sky, directly crashing down at the original location of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Seeing this, Xu Fan narrowed his eyes; the War between Realms must have begun.
Ning Dao glanced at the communication artifact, his expression grave as he said, "At the two realms passage, the beast race suddenly launched a surprise attack, destroying more than ten Star Ships from the Elder Council."
"Of course, the beast race also faced heavy losses on their side," Ning Dao added as he prepared to fly toward the direction of the fallen Star Ship.
"Brother Ning, please wait. I’ve already sent a puppet there. It might still be dangerous," Xu Fan urgently stopped him.
As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, a giant beast race warship plummeted from the sky, carrying the remains of a giant beast warship, crashing down where the Star Ship had fallen.
"Spirit Cut Senior, are you ready?" Xu Fan asked.
At that moment, as the giant beast race warship appeared, Zhang Yue had already notified Spirit Cut to take control of the modified giant beast warship.
"Don’t worry, I’ve been keeping an eye on it," Spirit Cut chuckled, eager to pilot the warship.
The giant beast race warship smashed the Star Ship submerged in the giant lake into pieces, then turned its gaze toward the direction of Hidden Spirit Island.
The giant beast race warship flew towards Hidden Spirit Island, as if it were a dessert after a meal.
"Haha, this is perfect," Spirit Cut laughed heartily.
To make it easier for Spirit Cut to pilot, Xu Fan had modified the warship’s operating system to the design they used in the Void Realm.
"Hehe, I didn’t expect to find a small sect here. I’ll destroy you, and then I’ll go massacre that fairy city."
A ghostly voice echoed into Hidden Spirit Island, and soon a massive figure appeared before the island.
All the disciples calmly watched the giant beast race warship, wondering where the sect would teleport next.
A colossal hand from the giant beast race warship loomed over the sect’s grand formation, slamming down fiercely.
"Now is the time!"
Spirit Cut immediately shed the grape projection disguise, stood up, and delivered a punch that went straight through the head of the giant beast race, pulling the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign out from the cockpit of the giant beast race warship.
"Smack~~"
The Great Ascension Beast Sovereign, who looked like a monkey, was instantly crushed into a pulp by the warship controlled by Spirit Cut.
A wisp of true spirit flew out from the giant beast warship’s grasp, darting rapidly into the sky.
"Haha, no true spirit can escape from me," Spirit Cut declared, leaping out of the cockpit and chasing after the fleeing true spirit.
"Magic Body, Blood Slash!"
A blood-colored blade sliced through the air, heading straight for the escaping true spirit.
"Ah~~"
A scream of agony echoed as the true spirit consciousness of the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign was completely obliterated.
"Spirit Cut Elder, can we place that empty spirit body into the Spirit Gathering Formation?" Xu Fan transmitted.
"Got it."
Spirit Cut promptly tossed the spirit body left behind by the true spirit into the core formation of the Spirit Gathering Formation.
"All disciples, focus on your cultivation; your opportunity has arrived," Xu Fan’s voice resonated throughout the Hidden Spirit Sect.
"Yes, Master."
The disciples’ responses came from all around.
At that moment, a clap of thunder sounded, and pure azure spirit rain began to pour over the entire Hidden Spirit Sect.
"Such a pity; I won’t be able to partake in this good fortune," Ning Dao said as he bid farewell to Xu Fan. He had many tasks awaiting him in Lin Sen Fairy City.
"Master, can we bring Chufan out to receive this spirit rain?" Li Xingci appeared beside Xu Fan.
"Wait a moment," Xu Fan paused to think before replying.
Soon, a guardian puppet appeared before Xu Fan, carrying several precious spiritual treasures and spirit ores at the artifact-level.
A burst of divine fire rose from Xu Fan’s hand, and intricate formations began to merge with the spirit ores within the divine fire.
"Xingci, fetch a drop of Chufan’s blood," Xu Fan instructed as he controlled the divine fire.
Before Li Xingci could respond, Su Rantian had already provided a drop of the child’s blood.
As the blood merged, a blood-colored, jade-like Ultraman appeared in Xu Fan’s hand.
"Keep this near Chufan; it will allow him to absorb the spirit rain. It might not enhance his potential, but it will strengthen his soul—a valuable opportunity," Xu Fan explained.
"Never mind, just hand me the child. You all should go and cultivate," he added.
"Staying in the Void Realm for a few years has affected you in some way; use this spirit rain to cleanse yourselves."
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, Grand Elder."
With that, a small, pink baby appeared in Xu Fan’s arms.
A special protective shield was generated by the blood jade Ultraman, slowly absorbing the energy from the spirit rain.
Eventually, the energy was purified and gradually entered the baby’s body, nourishing the child’s soul.
Xu Fan looked at the baby in his arms and smiled, saying, "He looks like your dad, but even more like your grandfather."
The baby’s expression increasingly reminded Xu Fan of Wang Yulun.
"Haha, it seems your grandfather will have a tough time ahead."
"But it’s alright; as long as the Master is here to protect you," Xu Fan said, gazing into the baby’s pure, jade-like eyes and suddenly gaining a sense of clarity.
"Master, the puppet rescued 46 Transformation God cultivators, 21 Void Refiners, and 5 Core Formation stage cultivators from that Star Ship. All of their consciousness is in a state of confusion."
"How many are dead?" Xu Fan asked.
"We found 1459 corpses."
"Properly preserve those cultivators’ remains and send them back to the Elder Council later."
"Understood."
"As for those whose consciousness is in confusion, bring them back to Hidden Spirit Sect to receive the spirit rain; they should recover in half a day’s time."
