Chapter 389: World Acquisition
As the main cannon of the Star Ship fired, Xu Fan’s expression shifted from excitement to boredom.
“Brother Sha’s notes mentioned that the Elder Council and the Heavenly Refining Sect had killed this thing before.”
“I overestimated my strength,” Xu Fan murmured.
Watching the giant beast enjoying the blast massage in the distance, Xu Fan sighed, “Let’s use a guided projectile on it. We’ll see if we get another chance.”
“Understood.”
After firing a guided projectile, the Star Ship moved back towards Lin Sen Fairy City.
At Hidden Spirit Island, there was a designated area behind the main peak for Star Ships to dock.
The Star Ship slowly descended, and Xu Fan stepped off with a grim expression.
“Grand Elder, next time let me bring that giant beast race warship puppet. We might be able to kill that giant beast,” Respected Elder Spirit Cut said, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
“The best attack the giant beast race warship puppet can deliver is only slightly stronger than the main cannon’s attack. It wouldn’t break through the giant beast’s defenses,” Xu Fan suddenly recalled.
“What if we equip the giant beast race warship puppet with a top-tier Taoist artifact weapon? It should be able to break through the giant beast’s defenses,” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.
“Really?” Spirit Cut exclaimed with joy.
“But now there’s a problem—the spirit ore for crafting top-tier Taoist artifacts is hard to find. It’s usually in much more dangerous areas of the Extreme Void Domain,” Xu Fan continued, deep in thought.
“Next time, let Grape assist me,” Spirit Cut suggested, aware of the benefits the giant beast offered, which Xu Fan would likely utilize when crafting his own artifact.
“This Star Ship is only a basic model; it’s best to hold off.”
“Let’s wait until we build a more advanced Star Ship,” Xu Fan replied. The guided projectile had already landed on the giant beast, and unless it managed to escape this realm, it wouldn’t slip from his grasp.
“That’s the only way,” Spirit Cut said, realizing that his high-level Taoist artifact was still a far-off dream.
Just then, the sky above Hidden Spirit Island darkened with thunderclouds, and a ring-shaped artifact appeared in mid-air.
Thunder rumbled, and a massive bolt struck the ring-shaped artifact.
“Boom~”
“I’ve successfully crafted it,” Xu Fan lightly said, watching the thunderclouds. This artifact was the hardest one he crafted, second only to Grape.
“The thunder calamity for the artifact? Looks like the Grand Elder’s crafting skills are impressive,” Spirit Cut chuckled.
Generally, if an artifact attracted a thunder calamity, that meant it had reached a level of quality.
As they spoke, a giant bolt of lightning fell again.
The artifact quivered slightly, its energy noticeably weakened.
“Grape, activate the energy absorption Formation,” Xu Fan said, sensing that the artifact was on the verge of breaking.
“Understood.”
At that moment, a protective shield appeared beneath the thunderclouds.
“Leave the last strike to secure the world acquisition,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Got it.”
Meanwhile, in a Giant City on Hidden Spirit Island, a middle-aged butcher was staring blankly at the thunderous skies, just moments away from home.
There was a familiar feeling in the air.
“Why do those dark clouds in the sky remind me of my brother?” the middle-aged butcher wondered aloud.
He gently pointed at the thunderclouds, and a spark of lightning appeared at his fingertip, as if the clouds were greeting him.
“I’m not your big brother,” the middle-aged butcher said, shaking his head as he walked into his home.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the ring-shaped artifact was enduring the final thunder calamity, absorbing the power within the lightning.
“One day, Hidden Spirit Island will have its own small world,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
This artifact was crafted by Xu Fan to contain the small world, and once it held Feng Chang Ning’s small world, it would become an accessory of Hidden Spirit Island.
In the underground space, a ring was spinning around Xu Fan.
“Take your time and find a target; don’t rush,” Xu Fan said to the spinning ring beside him.
“Master, I suggest you look for a larger small world.”
“The level of the small world you want to acquire is a bit low; using World Acquisition for it would be a waste,” the Second Clone remarked.
“I know there’s a small world in Lin Sen Fairy City. It has already merged with the fairy city formation, making it the most suitable option right now.”
“We can combine it with a more suitable small world later,” Xu Fan replied.
“As long as you’re happy,” the Second Clone said.
“There’s nothing pressing; you should rest for now,” Xu Fan said. He felt that he owed his two clones the most.
“I wonder how the First Clone is doing,” Xu Fan pondered.
“He’s probably trying to find a way to reach you,” the Second Clone said.
“Is he foolish? He should take advantage of this great opportunity to break free from my control, not come looking for me,” Xu Fan shook his head, recalling the desire for freedom he had seen in the First Clone’s eyes.
“Breaking away from your control is very risky; it’s better to relax beside you. Besides, isn’t he getting through tough times now?” the Second Clone said calmly.
Since Xu Fan had obtained a large number of artifact masters from the Moon Fox Clan, he had restored the Second Clone’s intelligence.
“You make a valid point,” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.
“Let’s leave it at that for now; I want to acquire that small world,” Xu Fan declared.
Hundreds of thousands of miles away from Hidden Spirit Island, over a vast lake stretch.
The World Acquisition danced joyfully near Xu Fan, having sensed the small world’s presence.
Xu Fan looked at the calm sea and snapped his fingers.
A giant formation appeared, and the runes on it began to flow softly, revealing a passage to a small world before Xu Fan.
He stepped into the passage of the small world.
As soon as he entered the small world, Xu Fan felt the suppressive force of the realm, causing his cultivation to drop from Nascent Soul stage to Golden Core Stage.
“This small world is indeed small,” Xu Fan noted, feeling the essence of the realm.
“The size of this small world is roughly equivalent to the total area of Earth in my previous life. Even counting the undeveloped areas, it could easily support over a hundred billion people,” Xu Fan remarked.
“World Acquisition, get to work.”
The ring surrounding Xu Fan sprang into action, darting towards the skies of the small world like a pack of unleashed wild dogs.
Xu Fan stepped forward and appeared in the main city of the dynasty established by Feng Chang Ning.
“This counts as a low-martial world, but this pure ancient dynasty is quite nice,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
Dressed in a jade green robe, Xu Fan walked along the street, stopping to taste delicious food he saw along the way.
As he passed a long street filled with fragrant warm jade, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of brightly dressed women.
“Sir, would you like to join me for a drink?”
“Sir, is this your first time in the capital? Would you like me to share some interesting stories about it?”
“Sir, don’t pay attention to those impure Little Foxes; I can keep you company for fifty taels and talk all night.”
