Chapter 402: The Method of Acquiring Extreme Lightning Stone
Three days later, five hundred miles outside Ice Abyss Fairy City in the extreme north, a figure suddenly appeared.
“The sect’s teleportation formation is truly impressive; it’s so well thought out,” Han Feiyu remarked with admiration.
Half an hour earlier, just as Han Feiyu was about to activate the mysterious teleportation formation, multiple options had appeared in his mind.
One option was to teleport directly into the fairy city’s teleportation formation, while the other was to randomly teleport several miles outside the city.
Although he had read about the teleportation formation in the sect manual, experiencing it firsthand made him appreciate its meticulous design even more.
“I hope Iron Tower and Iron Orchid can find what I left behind,” Han Feiyu murmured, glancing in the direction of Warm Jade Fairy City.
Before leaving, Han Feiyu had left a message. Following his instructions would lead them to the teleportation formation he had prepared. Inside, there was just enough Immortal Jade for one teleportation, along with a large stash of top-grade spirit stones, enough to sustain the two of them for some time.
Han Feiyu always acted with a mindset of repaying kindness and settling grudges.
He entered Ice Abyss Fairy City, intending to gather information about the situation in the extreme north and check if any beasts had been spotted.
Meanwhile, deep beneath the ice layers of the extreme north, a massive race was beginning to stir.
In the underground space of Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan and his two clones were deep in discussion with two master craftsmen, brainstorming the design of a top-tier artifact.
Li Xingci had received intelligence about the beast race’s treachery. The beast kings planned to spend heavily to hire other beast kings for support, which would bring at least three beast kings to aid the four clans.
Additionally, the humans with spirit roots who had been captured by the beast race were being gathered. In a few days, they would be used as leverage to demand the exchange of beast clan master craftsmen.
“As per the Grand Elder’s suggestion, we’re short on spirit ore, especially top-quality Extreme Lightning Stone,” said the Iron Mischief Monkey master craftsman, his tone filled with awe at Xu Fan’s creativity.
The Iron Mischief Monkey was the only beast clan master craftsman not brainwashed by Xu Fan. He had only signed a master-servant Heavenly Dao contract, leaving him the potential to advance to artifact great master in the future.
To the Iron Mischief Monkey master craftsman, humans were no different from other beast races. His own clan had already been shattered, so he felt no sense of pride or loyalty to the beast race.
“The Extreme Lightning Stone is irreplaceable. Only it can fully unleash the power of your lightning celestial script,” Xu Fan explained to the Iron Mischief Monkey.
The artifact Xu Fan was designing was inspired by the Iron Mischief Monkey’s possession of a powerful lightning celestial script, which perfectly aligned with his vision.
The artifact in question was an enhanced version of the Demon Suppressing Star, capable of posing a threat to the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign.
In the Endless Sea, while the main cannon could kill deep-sea beasts at the Great Ascension stage, dealing with a prepared Great Ascension Beast Sovereign would require indiscriminate area bombardment—far beyond a few shots from the main cannon.
By then, Xu Fan might go bankrupt before even defeating the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign.
To address this crisis, Xu Fan decided to deploy a long-dormant big weapon: the railgun, rumored to be capable of piercing a continent with a single shot.
Although he had only briefly glanced at the basic principles of the railgun in his previous life, that didn’t stop him from reconstructing its complete design.
“I’ll handle the Extreme Lightning Stone. You all focus on completing the other components, and we’ll assemble it afterward,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Understood,” the master craftsmen replied in unison.
At that moment, the first clone glanced at Xu Fan, silently questioning whether it was wise to send Spirit Cut to the Extreme Void Domain at this time.
Xu Fan responded with a confident look, as if to say, “I’ve got this under control.”
Meanwhile, inside his space ring, Xu Fan had already prepared a big gift for his good brother.
In a dojo within the Hidden Spirit Sect, Wang Xiangchi was sparring with his father, practicing divine abilities.
The two swordsmen transformed into beams of sword qi, darting across the dojo and occasionally striking at each other with real or illusory sword light.
“Shatter the Sky!”
Wang Xiangchi held the Spiritual Sword and pointed it directly at the side of Wang Yulun’s Spiritual Sword. The sudden vibration of the Spiritual Sword disrupted Wang Yulun’s rhythm, and a flash of sword light sliced a strand of hair from his face.
The two figures reappeared in the dojo.
“Is the gap still this big?” Wang Yulun said, sounding a bit disheartened.
“Dad, don’t be upset. You’ve made a lot of progress,” Wang Xiangchi reassured him.
“Xiangchi, do you think I’m just not cut out for fighting?” Wang Yulun asked. He had once been a celebrated disciple of the Que Tian Gate’s Battle Hall, unmatched in fighting strength. Aside from feeling slightly inferior to Xu Fan, he had never accepted defeat from anyone else at his level.
“Dad, your fighting strength is already among the best in the cultivation world for your stage.”
“You just happened to run into someone with a master like me,” Wang Xiangchi said, speaking honestly. As long as his father didn’t go challenging the top talents of the sect, he’d easily be considered a formidable expert.
“Sigh, I used to be on par with your master, and now I can’t even keep up with my own son,” Wang Yulun said with a bitter laugh. After nearly two years of hard work, it seemed like he hadn’t made any progress at all.
“???” Wang Xiangchi looked at his father, puzzled.
“What are you confused about? I joined the sect on the same day as your master,” Wang Yulun said, giving his son a sharp look.
“That’s right. Back then, I hadn’t even started cultivating, but your dad was already a master at the Qi Training Stage,” Xu Fan’s voice chimed in as he appeared in the dojo.
Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Wang Xiangchi couldn’t help but laugh.
“Xiangchi, why don’t you go teach a few classes at the Hidden Spirit Academy’s swordsman branch?” Xu Fan suggested casually, effectively sending Wang Xiangchi on his way.
Once Wang Xiangchi had left, Wang Yulun turned to Xu Fan and asked, “What did Big Brother Xu need me for?”
“I’ve noticed you’ve been working hard on your cultivation but haven’t seen much improvement, so I went ahead and crafted a special Spiritual Sword just for you,” Xu Fan said with a smile, presenting a custom-made Spiritual Sword designed specifically for Wang Yulun.
To create this Spiritual Sword, Xu Fan had even incorporated a small part of a grape clone into it.
A dazzling Spiritual Sword floated in mid-air, circling around Wang Yulun.
“Can I really use this artifact right now?” Wang Yulun asked, knowing that most artifacts could only unleash their full power at the Void Refinement stage.
“It’s designed to self-regulate. It won’t drain your spiritual energy,” Xu Fan assured him.
“Let’s bond it to you, and then we can spar,” Xu Fan suggested.
“Let’s hold off on the sparring for now. I feel a connection with this artifact, so I’ll just take it without hesitation,” Wang Yulun said, using his spiritual energy to control the Spiritual Sword and gripping it firmly. He then imprinted his consciousness onto it.
The moment the Spiritual Sword recognized its owner, a flood of information surged into Wang Yulun’s mind.
It took a while, but Wang Yulun finally processed all the information.
“Big Brother Xu, let’s have a sparring match,” Wang Yulun said, a confident smile spreading across his face.
The Spiritual Sword Xu Fan had given him contained a combat assistance system personally designed by Xu Fan, which could even take control of his body during battle if necessary.
With the sword in hand, Wang Yulun charged toward Xu Fan, sword light trailing behind him.
From Wang Yulun’s perspective, streams of data were rapidly analyzing Xu Fan’s fighting strength.
