Chapter 1147: The Threefold Test

“Master, the sect from the lower realm has ascended as a whole.”

Xu Fan, who was studying the Great Luo Immortal Technique, suddenly froze.

“Did they ascend together with the Hidden Spirit Island that we left behind?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“Yes, I just received the news,” Grape replied.

“You just received the news?” Xu Fan questioned, slightly puzzled.

“My origin clone left in the Feiyu Realm was sealed by the sect leader, Wang Xuanxin. It has just been released,” Grape explained.

“So since the moment you were sealed until now, you have been unaware of what has happened with the Hidden Spirit Sect in the lower realm,” Xu Fan chuckled.

“I am currently receiving information. After sealing me, Wang Xuanxin refined a new spirit to manage the entire sect,” Grape said.

“Then how does the spirit Wang Xuanxin refined compare to you when you ascended?” Xu Fan suddenly became interested.

“In terms of computing power, that spirit is 1.6 times what I had when I ascended.”

“Wang Xuanxin quickly became a supreme being in the lower realm and then led the Hidden Spirit Sect to battle across various middle thousand worlds.”

“To refine that spirit, she almost gathered the essence of over a hundred middle thousand worlds, consuming the source of heavenly dao from several dozen worlds alone.”

Xu Fan sensed a hint of regret in Grape’s words.

“Not bad! As expected of the disciple I have high hopes for,” Xu Fan laughed, starting to look forward to meeting this disciple.

At that moment, a ray of spiritual light passed through the Hidden Spirit Sect and finally landed in the courtyard where Xu Fan was.

“Husband, I’m back!” Zhang Weiyun smiled as she ran over to sit beside Xu Fan.

“How is your master’s injury? Do we need to send some healing pills?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.

“No, my master was only slightly injured mentally while being chased by demons. A period of rest will allow for recovery,” she replied.

“That’s good to hear,” Xu Fan nodded.

At this time, in the star region of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, a Star Ship of postnatal Spiritual Treasure level was racing through the star region, carrying the second Hidden Spirit Island.

Wang Xuanxin was receiving the latest news about the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Immortal Realm.

“The founding Grand Elder actually suppressed the Great Luo true dragon with Golden Immortal power! Truly impressive!”

“Just how long has it been since the last sect ascended? The founding Grand Elder has achieved such glorious accomplishments; she is indeed my role model,” Wang Xuanxin said in admiration.

“Master, I have received more information about the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Immortal Realm; you may want to take a look,” a mechanical voice chimed in.

At that moment, Wang Xuanxin suddenly thought of something.

“Little Spirit, have you been in contact with Grape? How do you think you compare?”

“At that point, just as the founding Grand Elder suggested, I could have you replace Grape as the spirit of the Hidden Spirit Sect,” Wang Xuanxin said assertively.

“Lord Grape is like the Holy Sun, while I am but an ant in the earth, struggling to surpass him. I can’t even calculate how long it might take,” the spirit’s voice replied.

“Well then,” Wang Xuanxin said with a reassuring tone.

“Don’t worry. Once my cultivation grows stronger, I’ll prepare some good things for you to help you grow faster. One day, you will surpass Grape,” Wang Xuanxin’s confident voice came through.

“Okay, Master.”

Grape stood nearby, smiling but saying nothing.

At this moment, the outline of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm appeared before Hidden Spirit Island.

All the disciples on the island were staring in awe at the vast Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

“Hidden Spirit Island is expected to enter the Immortal Realm in two months. Please prepare yourselves, disciples,” the voice of the spirit echoed across the second Hidden Spirit Island.

Suddenly, the spirit paused for a moment.

Then, all the communication artifacts of the Second Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples began to change.

In the end, they all connected to the network of the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Immortal Realm.

At this point, the Second Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples opened their communication artifacts and found everything to be different.

“Our communication artifacts have actually connected to the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Immortal Realm! This is incredible!” The disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Immortal Realm were thrilled.

They all began eagerly studying their communication artifacts.

A light curtain appeared in front of Wang Xuanxin, displaying the major events occurring across the Three Thousand Realms.

“The news from the communication covers the entire Three Thousand Realms. It seems you have some catching up to do, Little Spirit,” Wang Xuanxin remarked.

“Master, it’s just a small gap. Little Spirit is confident I can catch up,” the spirit replied, its tone encouraging.

Three months later, an island resembling Hidden Spirit Island landed next to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Wang Xuanxin finally met the founding Grand Elder, whom she had long wished to see.

“Greetings, founding Grand Elder!” Wang Xuanxin knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed.

“I know about what you did in the Feiyu Realm. Well done, you are a capable sect leader,” Xu Fan praised.

“Disciple only acted for the sect’s development. I don’t deserve such praise from the founding Grand Elder,” Wang Xuanxin quickly replied.

Before meeting Xu Fan, Wang Xuanxin had a fleeting thought that the Grand Elder might not be as powerful as she had imagined.

But that thought vanished the moment she laid eyes on Xu Fan.

In her eyes, the founding Grand Elder was like a Great Luo compass that encompassed the three thousand paths, guiding the operation of all things as the compass turned.

With just one look, Wang Xuanxin felt as if her entire being had been seen through.

“I wish to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?” Xu Fan asked, looking at Wang Xuanxin with admiration in his eyes.

Seeing Wang Xuanxin’s talent, Xu Fan couldn’t help but feel impressed.

Wang Xuanxin was the most talented person he had ever encountered, aside from himself, of course.

“I am willing! I would be honored!” Wang Xuanxin responded, her face lighting up with joy.

Before arriving, she had thought it was possible the founding Grand Elder might take her as a disciple, but it was just a passing thought.

Wang Xuanxin had planned to perform well after arriving at the Hidden Spirit Sect, hoping to attract the founding Grand Elder’s attention so she would be considered for discipleship.

“However, before you become my disciple, you must undergo three tests. Grape will tell you what they are later.”

“Now, the sect’s disciples you brought will be recognized as the sixth generation disciples of our sect. They will receive all the rewards and benefits.”

“Tonight, the sect will hold a welcome banquet to celebrate your joining the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Immortal Realm,” Xu Fan added.

“Understood, Master,” Wang Xuanxin replied.

At this time, the disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect learned that the sect leader from the lower realm had ascended with the entire sect.

This immediately sparked the curiosity of the sect’s disciples.

Many of them rushed over to the new Hidden Spirit Island to start exploring.

Just then, a River of Time appeared above the Hidden Spirit Sect.

It immediately captured the attention of all the disciples who had ascended from the lower realm.

“What is this? Why does it contain such immense temporal power?” Wang Xuanxin exclaimed, looking up suddenly.

“This is the River of Time; it typically appears when a true immortal advances to Golden Immortal,” Grape’s calm voice responded.
