Chapter 1029: Compensation

"Oh, you have brothers too? Call them over! Let’s have some fun together," said the third brother, who always fancied himself a teacher.

Great Luo Sage of Sword Heaven looked at these three reckless troublemakers and realized that being timid wasn’t going to help.

So, he gritted his teeth and pulled out three hundred billion Immortal Jade.

"I think you’re still looking down on our uncle master~"

"You won’t even spare a single crystal of Xuanhuang aura," said the usually quiet eldest brother.

"My mistake; the three hundred billion Immortal Jade was just a gesture. This crystal of Xuanhuang aura is my real compensation for the three taoist friends and uncle masters," Great Luo Sage of Sword Heaven quickly put the Immortal Jade away and handed over a crystal of Xuanhuang aura.

This finally satisfied the three brothers who had come from afar.

"Make sure to tell your wayward disciple to be more careful in his next life," the third brother said before the three of them vanished, leaving Great Luo Sage of Sword Heaven on the verge of tears.

"Master, why weren’t you more careful back then? If you had been, I wouldn’t be suffering like this," Great Luo Sage of Sword Heaven said, looking up at the sky, holding back tears.

Just then, he received a distress signal from that rebellious disciple.

"Master, your grand-disciple is about to have his spirit taken! Please hurry!"

Great Luo Sage of Sword Heaven was furious when he read the message.

"Rebellious disciple, you brought this on yourself by messing with the wrong people~" After sending the angry reply, Great Luo Sage of Sword Heaven transformed into a sword light and disappeared into the world.

Meanwhile, the Sword Immortal, trapped in the center by the dragons, suddenly looked uneasy.

Under Xu Fan’s teasing gaze, even the air seemed to grow awkward.

"So, is your master not coming?" Xu Fan asked with a grin.

"There might have been some… misunderstandings before. Let’s bury the hatchet, shall we?" the Sword Immortal stammered.

"Not a chance~"

"The mood’s already set; today, only one of our disciples will walk away alive. You choose," Xu Fan said, holding up a scroll.

This feud had gone too far; letting anyone go wasn’t Xu Fan’s style.

"All the faults in the past were my disciple’s. Getting to this point is his own doing, and as his master, I share some responsibility."

"This is everything I own; please help clear up the misunderstanding between us," the Sword Immortal said, presenting a space celestial tool.

"Better to resolve conflicts than to deepen them. Taoist friend, come back to the sect with me for a while, and we’ll settle our differences," Xu Fan said, summoning a spatial gate with a wave of his hand.

Beyond that gate lay the world of the Peach Blossom Spring Map.

"Taoist friend, you’re planning to wipe us out completely~" the Sword Immortal felt a sting of humiliation.

"Taoist friend, you’re still too naive. After all the harsh words we’ve exchanged, it’d be strange to let you go back safely."

"Step into the trap; if you won’t keep your dignity, I’ll make sure you do," Xu Fan said, narrowing his eyes at the Sword Immortal.

The Sword Immortal glanced at his disciple, trapped in the grand formation, and then at the spatial gate Xu Fan had summoned.

With a heavy heart, he stepped into the spatial gate, swallowing his pride.

"I owe Big Brother a thanks; without him, these two puppets wouldn’t have made it today," Xu Fan remarked.

At that moment, the Golden Immortal who had just lost consciousness woke up and looked at his disassembling self with some fear.

Avatar Number Three gently turned back the Golden Immortal puppet, making the Human Golden Immortal faint again.

“Master, does this mean I can be promoted to Golden Immortal now?” Xu Yuexian, standing at the center of the grand formation, asked as she watched the light from the disassembled Human Golden Immortal merge into her.

“Of course not. This just removed the 100,000-year minimum limit; to become a Golden Immortal, you still need to cultivate yourself.”

“If you merge with such a low-quality Golden Immortal today, you’ll only ever be a Golden Immortal,” Xu Fan said, curling his lips.

“Alright~” Xu Yuexian replied.

“The fun from before has disappeared. Otherwise, just from that Golden Immortal of swordsmanship saying classic villain lines, I would have to play with him,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Master, actually, there are many beings like that Golden Immortal; if you go out more, eventually you’ll definitely meet one or two,” Xu Yuexian said playfully at the center of the grand formation.

“Doing something just to show off like that is enough to experience once; doing it often will lower your own status,” Xu Fan shook his head and said.

“I have to say, you were caught at just the right time; if it had been a few thousand years earlier, this would have been quite troublesome.”

“Master, that Golden Immortal of swordsmanship’s Master Ancestor wouldn’t really be a quasi-saint, would he?” Xu Yuexian asked in surprise.

“He’s definitely a quasi-saint, but one who has already fallen,” Xu Fan suddenly laughed at this thought.

He recalled the expression of that Golden Immortal of swordsmanship when he mentioned his Master Ancestor, it was almost out of this world.

“If that’s the case, how would you save me, Master?” Xu Yuexian asked curiously, as she could never imagine that her Master would abandon her.

“That would have to be Uncle Wang stepping in; he’s our sect’s ultimate trump card and won’t act unless absolutely necessary,” Xu Fan thought for a moment and said.

“I feel like Uncle Wang is even more mysterious than you, Master,” Xu Yuexian nodded.

At that moment, the last batch of points of light merged into Xu Yuexian’s body, and the Human Golden Immortal officially faded away into the world.

“I feel like nothing has changed?” After the formation dissipated, Xu Yuexian sensed her body and said.

“That’s right; there’s no change. That part of the change was something I specifically gave up.”

“The Golden Immortal trying to hide from your body used improper means to advance to Golden Immortal and failed to self-regulate, which caused the mutation.”

“You need to absorb his cultivation; you could easily be stuck in the true immortal realm for hundreds of thousands of years,” Xu Fan replied.

“Thank you for your trouble, Master.”

“It’s a small matter; you’ll likely be promoted to Golden Immortal soon, and then I can find something for you in the Immortal Realm.”

“At your command, Master.”

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan suddenly received a gift from the Great Luo Sage of Sword Heaven.

“Did Big Brother just drop these things off and leave without saying anything else?” Xu Fan asked.

“Yes, Master, but according to Grape’s understanding, Big Brother should have taken those few disciples to the beast race territory,” Grape answered.

“It seems Big Brother is really going to carry out those plans. I hope he comes back fully loaded,” Xu Fan wished Big Brother well.

He then entered the treasury.

“It feels great to have the treasury full, and with this Immortal Jade and Xuanhuang aura secured, it truly puts my mind at ease.”

Xu Fan arrived in the most secretive section of the treasury, designated for storing resources from the Immortal Realm and Xuanhuang aura.

“Master, Grape studied the Xuanhuang aura and found it can greatly enhance Grape’s logical computing power.”

“It only takes a little consumption to quickly complete the simulation of a large project.”
