Chapter 1024: Offering Up

Nine days later, all the members of the Saint Moon Tribe required for the offering formation had fully assembled.

Countless members of the Saint Moon Tribe stood solemnly around the offering formation.

They were aware that their tribe’s Sage was about to offer the sacred artifact to harness the power of the Immortal Realm for their clan’s benefit.

Xu Fan, the mastermind behind this event, stood beside the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo.

“Let the sacred artifact be presented~”

At that instant, it seemed as though the bright moon in the sky began to descend.

A crescent moon emerged at the center of the formation.

The entire area plunged into darkness, with the only illumination coming from the crescent moon at the heart of the grand formation.

The formation gradually came to life.

The surrounding members of the Saint Moon Tribe gazed at the crescent moon in the center with mixed emotions.

Had the sacred artifact, which they had depended on for ten thousand years, truly been a hindrance to their progress?

What would become of their tribe if they were to lose the sacred artifact?

At that moment, many members of the Saint Moon Tribe were lost in thought over this question.

Suddenly, a wisp of the force of faith floated above the head of one member of the Saint Moon Tribe.

Gradually, more and more members saw the force of faith rising above their heads.

Like dandelions caught in a breeze, they swayed and drifted towards the crescent moon at the formation’s center.

“It’s hard to let go~” Xu Fan murmured with a sigh beside the Saint Moon Great Luo.

“I understand how you feel~”

“But for the Saint Moon Tribe to rise, this step is necessary.”

“There’s a mysterious force at work; perhaps your presence is a sign from the Heavenly Way’s Will, guiding our tribe forward,” the Saint Moon Great Luo said softly, his eyes fixed on the crescent moon in the formation.

As the force of faith grew, a faint figure appeared above the Saint Moon.

It was the spirit of the innate artifact from Saint Moon Bay. She first looked down at the formation, then at the surrounding Saint Moon Tribe.

A realization dawned on her,

“With countless saints, I could help your tribe produce a quasi-saint; why must you cast me aside?” her voice, faint and cold, resonated above the formation.

The Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo gave the innate spirit a calm glance before sealing her back within Saint Moon Bay.

Xu Fan observed the spirit with a contemplative look.

As the grand formation accelerated, the force of faith gathered in Saint Moon Bay began to flow from the center into the entire formation.

Finally, this immense force of faith condensed into a towering beam of light that shot up into the sky.

The beam of light soared upwards, piercing through the nine heavens.

At that moment, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared above the formation, indifferent to all life, as if all things revolved around them.

“Eye of the Heavenly Way~” the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo remarked.

At that moment, the Great Luo suddenly received news that two Great Luo Sages had appeared in the Immortal Realm of the human race, which they were responsible for.

It seemed their intention was to launch a full-scale attack to eliminate another Great Luo Sage from their tribe.

The Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo’s expression changed slightly, but even in his urgency, he had to wait until the ritual was over before he could provide support.

At this time, a vortex appeared in the sky, slowly drawing the Primal Spiritual Treasure Saint Moon Bay into it.

Meanwhile, in the center of the grand formation, a blood-red area formed.

This was the final step of the formation, and it required a member of the Saint Moon Tribe to offer themselves as a sacrifice along with the sacred artifact to the Heavenly Way.

“Great One, I feel my mission is complete. Let me become this final sacrificial offering.”

“Offering myself with the sacred artifact to the Heavenly Way would not be in vain after my ten thousand years of hard work,” Xu Fan sincerely said to the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo. This was his final step.

“I have already prepared the sacrificial member; there is no need for such haste, Sage,” the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo said gently.

“Great One, my determination for the rise of the Saint Moon Tribe is unwavering. Let me go so that I may guide our tribe forward in the unseen realm,” Xu Fan said, rushing towards the blood-red area of the formation.

Then, he transformed into nothingness, merging with the sacred artifact as they both entered the vortex in the sky.

“Sage, may you have a good journey~”

During this time, Xu Fan’s actions in the Saint Moon Tribe had already spread.

Nearly half of the Saint Moon Tribe supported Xu Fan’s theory, referring to him as the Sage of the Saint Moon Tribe.

It meant a guiding force for the progress of their race.

With the sacred artifact gone, Xu Fan had also disappeared.

The sky revealed its original colors once again, and the Immortal Realm’s sky had approached deep night.

A holy moon hung high, resembling their tribe’s sacred artifact.

All members of the Saint Moon Tribe looked up at the moon, with streams of the force of faith reaching toward the holy moon in the sky.

“All tribesmen, honor the holy moon.”

The voice of the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo echoed.

All members of the Saint Moon Tribe deeply bowed to the holy moon in the sky.

Instantly, they felt an unusual aura within their souls; the final rain of faith that cleansed their souls and beliefs began to fall.

All members of the Saint Moon Tribe welcomed this unique rain, as a spark of intention ignited within their souls.

At that moment, every member of the Saint Moon Tribe felt that they should not remain a small clan hidden away in a corner of the Immortal Realm.

They wanted to strive, to cultivate, and to take the Saint Moon Tribe to the peak of the Immortal Realm.

That spark of intention slowly transformed into a fire of belief, igniting instantly within the hearts of all members of the Saint Moon Tribe.

At that moment, two powerful auras soared into the sky.

It turned out that two members of the clan, who had been at the peak of true immortal cultivation for tens of thousands of years, experienced a breakthrough, ascending from true immortals to Golden Immortals.

The Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo sensed the presence of the two newly emerged Golden Immortals and felt that the momentum of the Immortal Realm had deepened for the Saint Moon Tribe.

“How many years has it been? Our Saint Moon Tribe has finally produced two self-broken Golden Immortals.”

“Sage, you were right; our tribe has been restricted.”

“When our Saint Moon Tribe replaces the human race, it will be the time I resurrect you through the Reverse the River of Time.”

“I want you to witness the brilliance of our Saint Moon Tribe firsthand.”

“Then I will personally crown you, making you officially our tribe’s Sage,” the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo said, looking toward the direction Xu Fan had last vanished.

In truth, at the very beginning, to verify the authenticity of this grand formation and what Xu Fan had said, she had already decided that the final sacrificial person had to be Xu Fan.

She had thought of countless scenarios, yet she never expected Xu Fan to be so calm and so proactive in offering himself.

“There have been changes on the battlefield at the front of the human race. I will leave all matters, big and small, within the tribe to the ten Golden Immortal elders.”

After issuing her orders, the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo vanished, heading towards the front lines of the human race.

At this moment, in the treasure vault of the Saint Moon Tribe, Xu Fan broke through space and teleported in.

“It truly wasn’t easy. To fool the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo, I almost ruined the CPU of the grape.”

“But it was all worth it,” Xu Fan said, looking at the enormous treasure vault.

“Master, the grape was incapable and ultimately could not intercept the Primal Spiritual Treasure Saint Moon Bay, leaving only a small fragment behind,” the grape said, feeling a bit ashamed.

“It’s fine; getting this far is already very good.”

“Not sacrificing the majority of the Saint Moon Bay to the Heavenly Way wouldn’t hide it from that Great Luo,” Xu Fan said.

“Alright, now that the Saint Moon Tribe Great Luo has left, it’s time for us to collect our spoils,” Xu Fan said excitedly as he looked at the treasure vault.
