Chapter 1075: The Earthly Ancestral Dragon

After the Grand Dragon Feast, Xu Fan continued to refine the Xuanhuang Great Nourishing Holy Elixir for his Big Brother.

While refining the elixir, he eagerly awaited Pang Fu and avatar number two to return with the Time Treasures.

Grape speculated based on various legends about the Dragon Race in the major Immortal Realms.

The original world of the Dragon Race is located far from the human race in the Immortal Realm, and even a quasi-saint Ancestral Dragon would take a long time to reach the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

“Grape, how is the contingency plan I asked you to prepare coming along?” Xu Fan asked while refining the elixir.

“Master, we have begun constructing the super-long distance teleportation passage to Hidden Spirit Island.”

“It will only require three teleportations to leave the Wood Origin Immortal Realm and arrive in the unknown star region.”

“The Causal Confusion Grand Formation is already under construction and is expected to be completed in one year,” Grape reported.

These formations had begun to be laid out as soon as they offended the Dragon Race.

“Very well, send disciples from the Business World to the Wuwang Immortal Realm. One purpose is to investigate, and the other is to inform avatar number two to use the Immortal Realm teleportation formation to bring back the Time Treasures.”

“According to Immortal Realm tax laws, there should be enough to pay the taxes on that batch of Time Treasures,” Xu Fan thought for a moment and said.

“Understood, Master.”

The Divine Dragon Realm is home to the largest gathering of the Dragon Race aside from the original world of the human race.

At this moment, every true dragon in the entire Divine Dragon Realm suddenly felt as if a great mountain pressed down upon them.

A sound of a mourning dragon bell echoed through the heavens and earth, signaling the fall of a true dragon or higher level, and that the true dragon’s corpse had been insulted.

“Wood Origin Immortal Realm, Hidden Spirit Sect!”

“Insulting my Dragon Race will lead to a death battle!”

The voice of the Ancestral Dragon resonated throughout the Divine Dragon Realm. Over the years, although the Dragon Race has begun to shrink within the Three Thousand Realms, their strength has not diminished.

The ten orthodox Ancestral Dragons in the Dragon Race remained. Aside from the top major forces in the Three Thousand Realms, no other foreign races dared to make jokes about the dragon corpses.

Upon hearing the furious voice of the Ancestral Dragon, many true dragons in the Divine Dragon Realm also began to feel anger rise within them.

The Dragon Race has its own rules; they do not engage in battles between realms.

If the Dragon Race’s headquarters intervenes, it can only mean one thing: the fallen dragon’s corpse has been insulted, whether it’s turned into a magical treasure or a dish.

“Earthly Ancestral Dragon, you need to go to the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.”

“Exterminate all the human inhabitants of Hidden Spirit Sect, burn their bones, capture their spirits, and bring them back to be torched by dragon fire for ten thousand years!”

The grand voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

“Earthly Ancestral Dragon obeys!”

A full-bodied Ancestral Dragon, shimmering like jade, looked up towards the sky and said.

While Xu Fan was refining the holy elixir in the Hidden Spirit Sect, he suddenly felt a tremble in his soul; the hand controlling the holy fire quivered violently, nearly causing an imbalance in the flames.

Seeing the shaking pill furnace, Xu Fan quickly formed seals, using various secret techniques to stabilize the furnace and prevent it from exploding.

“It seems the Dragon Race has made a move,” Xu Fan said with narrowed eyes.

"It seems I need to hurry up a bit!"

After Xu Fan said this, he went back to refining his elixir.

At the Hidden Moon Sect, Xiao Luofan had been staring at a piece of dragon jerky for quite some time.

"One more piece, just one more piece, and I can break through to the Overcoming Tribulations stage."

At this moment, a massive amount of spiritual energy was uncontrollably spilling out from Xiao Luofan.

Her true spirit had been refined to its peak through her devouring path, and she was on the verge of advancing to the Overcoming Tribulations stage at any moment.

But she wasn’t satisfied; she felt she hadn’t reached her limit yet and could push herself further by eating one more piece of dragon jerky to refine her body and spirit.

While the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect had attended the Grand Dragon Feast, their cultivation was still below the Great Ascension stage, so they could only handle half a piece of dragon meat at most. Anyone who dared to eat more risked exploding from the overwhelming energy.

To keep things fair, Lord Grape had given each disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect one piece of dragon jerky, promising that if they could digest it within a year, they’d receive a second piece.

The piece of dragon jerky in front of Xiao Luofan was that second piece.

Xiao Luofan slowly reached out with a trembling hand to grab the dragon jerky, but just as she was about to touch it, she pulled back.

She couldn’t forget the agony she’d felt after eating the first piece—how she’d nearly died from the overwhelming energy while trying to refine her body and true spirit.

It had been a torment worse than death, as if her entire body had been shattered piece by piece and then pieced back together.

Her true spirit had crumbled and then reformed, over and over.

"The Grand Elder has endured so much pressure for me; I have to grow stronger quickly."

"If I can’t even handle this little pain, how can I ever hope to avenge my brother?" Xiao Luofan clenched her teeth, grabbed the dragon jerky, and shoved it into her mouth.

Her body and true spirit began to collapse and repair repeatedly, a cycle that lasted for an entire month.

Ten thousand miles away from the Hidden Spirit Sect, there was a small island specifically for disciples to undergo their Overcoming Tribulations.

One day, ninety-nine thousand calamity clouds gathered above the island.

Xiao Luofan didn’t activate any formations to weaken the heavenly tribulation; she simply stood in the sky, letting the lightning dragons rain down on her.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, who was busy refining elixirs, glanced lightly at the sky.

"Ninety-nine thousand calamity clouds—that should be the limit," Xu Fan remarked casually, excluding himself from the situation.

"Grape, send a Holy Spirit Pill to Xiao Luofan. If she doesn’t take it, her foundation might be damaged after this tribulation," Xu Fan instructed.

"Understood, Master."

A Golden Immortal puppet, carrying a jade box, braved the storm of lightning dragons and approached Xiao Luofan.

"Here is the Holy Spirit Pill. It will repair your mind and true spirit, stabilizing your foundation for becoming immortal," the Golden Immortal puppet announced.

"Thank you, Grand Elder," Xiao Luofan said, her voice trembling as she endured the relentless sea of thunder.

She had underestimated herself; she hadn’t expected her foundation to attract ninety-nine thousand calamity clouds, far more than the eighty thousand she’d initially anticipated.

As the puppet vanished, Xiao Luofan swallowed the Holy Spirit Pill.

Instantly, a surge of life energy erupted from within her.

A dark void, like a black hole, appeared behind Xiao Luofan, absorbing the energy from the surrounding sea of thunder.

Two days later, Xiao Luofan overcame her first tribulation. After less than a day of rest, the second tribulation arrived, followed closely by the third.

A month later, Xiao Luofan became the first disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect to reach the Great Ascension stage.

"Lord Grape, I’d like to see the Grand Elder," Xiao Luofan said.

"The Master is currently in seclusion refining elixirs. He cannot be disturbed unless it’s absolutely necessary."

"However, since you’ve reached the Great Ascension stage, the sect has prepared a gift for you. Please accept it."

As Grape spoke, a cloud of auspiciousness appeared in the sky above the Hidden Moon Sect and drifted down to the mountain where Xiao Luofan stood.

The cloud dispersed in front of her, revealing a Treasure Vase, a giant celestial tool shield, and a Star Ship.

"This is your reward for becoming the first disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect to reach the Great Ascension stage. Ordinary disciples only receive one celestial tool," Grape explained.

"Thank you, Grand Elder. I could never repay the sect’s kindness, even if I died a thousand times," Xiao Luofan said.

"The Master has said that once you become a disciple of our sect, you are free to follow your heart in all matters."

Hearing Grape’s words, Xiao Luofan nodded.
