Chapter 1135: A True Immortal Elder is Still an Elder

Just as Xu Fan was about to take the Scorpion Four Thieves back to the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, Grape suddenly informed him that the Scorpion Four Thieves had offended a major extraterrestrial force that was next in line for teleportation to the Immortal Realm.

If they entered recklessly, that major force would definitely detect them.

"How powerful can they be?" Xu Fan said casually.

"Two quasi-saints are stationed there."

"Alright, let’s plan a new route," Xu Fan stated bluntly; having a formations master made it worth the effort.

"If we take a detour, the journey will take an additional two years," Grape said.

"Two years is fine," Xu Fan nodded.

He had used up all his Xuanhuang aura in the previous battle, so he temporarily lacked the strength to confront a quasi-saint.

"Okay, I will start planning a new route for the master," Grape said.

Then, Xu Fan took the Scorpion Four Thieves through various Immortal Realms.

On a Star Ship, Xu Fan leisurely sipped tea brewed by the second brother of the Scorpion Four Thieves.

He watched as the boss calculated the formation that could Reverse Fate and allow them to ascend to a Great Luo Sage, shaking his head as he did.

"Good thing you met me. Otherwise, if you had succeeded in setting up that formation, you would all become slaves to the Heavenly Way."

As Xu Fan spoke, he critiqued the formation developed by the boss.

"If you want to Reverse Fate and become a Great Luo Sage, you need to lower your expectations. Otherwise, your formation will have too many flaws," Xu Fan said.

"Master, based on my calculations, this formation has a 40% success rate, which is already quite high," the boss replied.

"A 40% chance is too high for this kind of thinking."

"Our formations discipline values precision, harmonizing with heaven and earth and the Heavenly Way’s Will. The most important thing about the formations we set up is that we can control them ourselves."

As Xu Fan spoke, he began to modify the divine formation that could Reverse Fate to ascend to Great Luo.

"The requirements need to be lowered, and you also need to block any potential exits. You must account for the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Three Thousand Realms."

"Those who steal the secrets of heaven will inevitably face severe consequences; you must understand this."

"You’re a formations master; how can you not sense the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Three Thousand Realms?" Xu Fan furrowed his brows, as if puzzled over how this person could become a formations master.

The boss of the Scorpion Four Thieves listened to Xu Fan’s guidance, his expression growing increasingly respectful.

"This formation for ascending to Great Luo is the result of your hard work over a million years. I will optimize it for the best state; this will help you in your future work with formations," Xu Fan said, returning the optimized formation jade butterfly to the boss.

The boss, feeling overwhelmed, caught it with both hands and then, along with the second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, deeply knelt before Xu Fan.

"Master, in the past, our four brothers were blind to the greatness around us. Today, it is our honor to follow you."

They performed the three kneels and nine prostrations, the greatest courtesy of the human race.

"Get up. Meeting is a form of destiny; just return to the sect and work hard in the future."

At that moment, the Star Ship arrived at another cross-boundary teleportation grand formation.

As time passed, seven years had gone by.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Qianling True Immortal had just finished his seclusion when he noticed a disciple undergoing Overcoming Tribulations in the River of Time. By now, such scenes were commonplace to him, and his mindset had become quite calm.

“A true immortal elder is still an elder,” Qianling True Immortal reassured himself before heading out with Spirit Cut to battle beasts in the deep sea.

“So, how was the Golden Immortal level Grand Dragon Feast? Did you digest it well?” Spirit Cut asked with a chuckle.

“Completely digested. I’m bursting with energy now. Let’s dive into the deep sea for some intense training,” Qianling True Immortal said eagerly.

To uphold his status as an elder, Qianling knew he had to train hard and advance to Golden Immortal quickly, a sentiment shared by Spirit Cut.

As the number of Golden Immortals in the Hidden Spirit Sect grew, the first batch of Golden Immortal disciples had already been deployed by Grape. Some were engaged in battles between the human race and foreign races in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, while others were sent to investigate rumors in other Immortal Realms. Certain Golden Immortal disciples, due to their unique abilities, were kept within the sect for infrastructure projects.

The two flew past a towering giant tower, heading towards the deep sea.

“Elders, if you encounter danger, don’t hesitate to call for help. I’ve just finished the Destruction Tower and it’s ready for a test run. If needed, I can give you a blast,” a Golden Immortal disciple called out from the top of the tower to Qianling and Spirit Cut.

The elders waved back and accelerated towards the deep sea.

“There was a time I avoided going out, just to dodge greetings from these Golden Immortal disciples,” Spirit Cut sighed.

“Stay calm. A true immortal elder is still an elder,” Qianling True Immortal comforted him.

…………

In a treacherous part of the deep sea in the Immortal Realm, Qianling and Spirit Cut were in a frantic escape towards the Hidden Spirit Sect. A massive sea beast, thousands of feet long, was hot on their trail, with heavy water forming tentacles that lashed out at them.

“We need to call for sect support! We can’t outrun this Golden Immortal sea beast; it’s just playing with us,” Spirit Cut urged.

“I think we can hold out a bit longer,” Qianling True Immortal said, glancing back at the pursuing tentacles.

“It’s too late; I’ve already called for backup,” Spirit Cut replied.

“We’re here for life-and-death training, not to die. A true immortal fighting a Golden Immortal? Only the Grand Elder could pull that off,” Spirit Cut remarked.

Suddenly, a teleportation formation enveloped them, whisking them away to a spot thousands of miles high in the sky. A massive teleportation portal appeared above the Golden Immortal sea beast, from which a colossal black light column shot out, striking the beast’s head.

The area where the sea beast had been turned into a void, followed by the emergence of spatial turbulence.

From their vantage point in the sky, the two watched in awe.

“The power needs fine-tuning; this large-scale Destruction Tower isn’t ideal for recovering spoils,” the Golden Immortal disciple who had earlier bid them farewell observed, peeking out from the teleportation portal.

He then looked towards Qianling and Spirit Cut in the sky.

“Thanks for the opportunity to test the Destruction Tower, elders. Let me treat you to dragon bone wine when you return.”

The two exchanged a look of disbelief at the scene. Just then, Grape’s voice echoed.

“Master has returned~”

Their faces lit up with joy.

“Activate the teleportation formation to return to the sect,” Spirit Cut commanded.

A teleportation formation appeared, and they stepped into it.

Back in the courtyard, Xu Fan’s disciples and several elders gathered once more, listening to Xu Fan recount his adventures since leaving the Wood Origin Immortal Realm. He tactfully omitted the encounter with the saint’s avatar, mentioning only that he had faced a formidable enemy in the star region.
