Chapter 1042: Xiao Luofan

“My brother is missing, he has exceptional talent, and his name even includes the character ‘Fan’,” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin. Could this be another main character?

Then, a virtual image of the destiny compass appeared in Xu Fan’s eyes. He gazed across vast distances, focusing on the Hidden Moon Sect.

At that moment, a young girl dressed in white was practicing in her cave abode.

With fair skin and exquisite beauty, she looked stunning, especially with the spirited and heroic aura between her brows, reminiscent of a peerless woman from Xu Fan’s past life novels.

“Master, Grape has investigated, and it seems there’s a hint of the Dragon Immortal Palace behind her brother’s disappearance,” Grape said beside him.

“The Dragon Race~ Continue investigating. Inform her in detail once we find out who exactly kidnapped her brother,” Xu Fan considered.

Xu Fan had discovered that this senior sister of the Hidden Moon Sect was a person blessed by the fortunes of the Three Thousand Realms.

While not the legendary savior-type protagonist, she was certainly a crucial part.

Just like in novels, protagonists usually don’t fight alone.

“Master, should we take Xiao Luofan as a disciple?” Grape asked.

“No, even though she passed the Inner Sect Assessment, the road ahead is too long and distant. Binding her too closely to the sect would only hinder her.”

“What we need to do is quietly support her from behind.”

Xu Fan’s eyes, imbued with the destiny compass, seemed to see into the future.

In his perception, this young girl’s fate was fraught with difficulties, especially if she had not joined the Hidden Moon Sect.

Based on the information Grape had disclosed, it was certain that she would encounter the Dragon Race in the future.

At that moment, within a cave abode of the Hidden Moon Sect, Xiao Luofan slowly opened her eyes after finishing her practice. A hint of helplessness flashed in her starry eyes.

She had joined the Hidden Moon Sect through the academy, and after her first exposure to cultivation techniques, she realized her extraordinary nature.

The abundant spiritual energy and superior techniques within the sect made her feel as if she had entered an ocean, like a fish in water.

After encountering the Five Elements Technique, she established her foundation within one year and reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage in just ten years. Had she not suppressed herself intentionally, she would have already reached the Golden Core Stage by then.

At this time, her exceptional aptitude was recognized within the sect, and she had stood out at the Sect Competition, becoming the senior sister of the Hidden Moon Sect.

She realized her talent in cultivation was certainly exceptional, and her determination to find her brother only strengthened.

She had achieved first place in the Sect Competition and gained the opportunity to enter the Sutra Pavilion of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

In the Sutra Pavilion, she asked Brother Zhang, the guardian of the Pavilion, a question.

“What is the strongest technique in the sect?”

Brother Zhang initially took out thirty jade plates but then reconsidered, putting them back and finally producing the technique she was currently practicing, called the three hundred paths.

The initial practice went smoothly, but as she progressed, it became increasingly difficult.

Now, she strangely felt a sense of limitation in her cultivation due to her own qualifications.

While she was feeling lost, she suddenly received a message from the Sect Leader, Zhao Fei’er.

“The Grand Elder will begin teaching the disciples practicing the three hundred paths tomorrow.”

“This is the address of the Inner Sect Dao Field. The lecture starts at the hour of Chen tomorrow. Luofan, don’t miss it.”

Hearing Zhao Fei’er’s gentle voice, Xiao Luofan couldn’t help but smile.

The Grand Elder, who founded the Hidden Moon Sect, was a legend within the sect.

Xiao Luofan saw the Grand Elder as her lifelong goal and the direction she wanted to follow.

The next morning, Xiao Luofan boarded the teleportation formation in the sect, arriving at the inner sect of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Although it was her second visit, she was still deeply impressed by the scene before her.

At that moment, a small spiritual boat quietly landed beside her.

“Hidden Moon Sect disciple, Xiao Luofan, please board the spiritual boat and follow me to the dojo where the master will impart his teachings,” Grape’s voice called out.

Xiao Luofan snapped back to reality and stepped onto the spiritual boat with some regret.

“I’m sorry, I was too lost in thought just now,” Xiao Luofan apologized.

Before her first visit to the Hidden Spirit Sect, she had been told to always respect Grape, the spirit beside the Grand Elder.

“There’s still some time before the master starts teaching, so we have a bit of time to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery,” Grape’s voice echoed lightly.

Just then, a beam of light brushed past the spiritual boat, pausing for a moment.

A fourth-generation female disciple looked in surprise at Xiao Luofan in the boat. Few people in the sect could make Grape speak in such a tone.

“Hidden Moon Sect Xiao Luofan, greeting senior sister,” Xiao Luofan bowed respectfully.

“Haha, no need to be so polite. I am fourth-generation disciple Xiao Shufen. I have something to do now, but I’ll catch up with you later.”

After exchanging contact information, Xiao Shufen transformed into a beam of light and left.

At this moment, the spiritual boat Xiao Luofan was on began to move, flying toward a small dojo on the main peak.

The small dojo was located at the top of the main peak, where one could overlook the entire Hidden Spirit Island from the entrance.

“This is truly a place where immortals should dwell,” Xiao Luofan couldn’t help but exclaim.

“What is your definition of an immortal?” A voice appeared behind Xiao Luofan.

Zhang Xueling walked up beside her.

“Greetings, Brother Zhang.”

“To be immortal is to exist eternally alongside heaven and earth.”

“That is my definition of an immortal,” Xiao Luofan replied respectfully.

“To exist alongside heaven and earth, only a Great Luo Saint can achieve that.”

“It seems your definition of an immortal is quite grand, not bad,” Zhang Xueling spoke in an elder-like tone.

“What about your definition of an immortal, brother?” Xiao Luofan asked curiously.

“To walk through the past, present, and future is to be immortal, or rather, the most formidable immortal,” Zhang Xueling said with a smile.

“To walk through the past, present, and future.”

For some reason, when Xiao Luofan heard this, a unique light sparkled in her eyes.

“Enough chatting, come over and listen to the lesson.” Xu Fan’s voice rang out from behind them.

The two exchanged glances and entered the small dojo.

“The three hundred paths are part of the Three Thousand Paths, not entirely suitable for every disciple,” Xu Fan said, taking out three jade plates and handing them to Xiao Luofan.

“The version of the three hundred paths you were practicing is the most general version and might not be suitable for you.”

“In the future, you will cultivate this version of the three hundred paths; it should go smoother for you,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Xiao Luofan looked at the three jade plates with excitement, momentarily at a loss for words.

The legendary Grand Elder of the sect had actually derived a part of the three hundred paths just for her.

This kindness, she wondered when she would be able to repay.

Xu Fan, unaware of Xiao Luofan’s emotional state, began explaining the fundamentals of the three hundred paths to the two of them.

This was what Xiao Luofan lacked.
