Chapter 1226: Fifty Years

"Do all living beings, including those at the Great Saint-level, also fall under this?" Li Xingci looked at the shattered worlds, a light sadness in his eyes.

"Not exactly, but those Great Saints are likely sleeping in some world fragments," Xu Fan replied.

"Who knows how many epochs it will take for them to awaken? If they’re lucky enough to be found, their true spirits will probably be reincarnated by the Yuan Lord as members of the human race."

Xu Fan felt that compared to those Spiritual Treasures, the Yuan Lord valued this much more.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Xu Fan received a message from the Yuan Lord.

"There is a Great Saint sleeping at this location. Securing this will be worth more than an innate supreme treasure." The Yuan Lord provided Xu Fan with a coordinate point.

"Master, once we find that sleeping Great Saint, may I have a look?" Li Xingci asked earnestly.

Hearing this, Xu Fan looked at his good disciple, Li Xingci.

"Occupying someone else’s home or turning them into Rebirth Servants, neither will do."

"If the Yuan Lord finds out, there will be consequences later."

"I just want to extract the Great Saint’s inheritance and enhance my Rebirth Servants," Li Xingci quickly explained.

"Now that makes sense; it’s acceptable. But after enhancement, don’t expect your Rebirth Servants to become Great Saints."

"Breaking through to become a Saint would already be considered lucky."

As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, a teleportation formation appeared before them.

A sealed small world floated out from the teleportation formation.

Inside the sealed small world lay a humanoid man resembling an elf, tall and handsome, exuding an air of noble grace as if he were born into aristocracy.

"A Great Saint of the Spirit Race; this aura suggests he has only recently become a Great Saint."

"Poor child," Xu Fan remarked, sensing the aura of the Spirit Race Great Saint.

Then, Xu Fan gently raised his hand, separating half of the source from the Spirit Race Great Saint’s body.

"This is half of the source; along with the inheritance you extract, becoming a Saint in the Three Thousand Realms should be no problem," Xu Fan said, tossing that half of the source to his good disciple.

"Thank you, Master!"

"This is the only one; extracting more sources would be too disrespectful to the Yuan Lord." Xu Fan waved his hand, signaling Li Xingci to go about his business.

Xu Fan watched as the surrounding world fragments were gradually cleared out, while the Yuan Lord informed him of several more locations.

Most contained Primal Spiritual Treasures, with a few innate supreme treasures occasionally found.

As for the sleeping Great Saints, so far, Xu Fan had only received one location for them.

During the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple’s tireless collection, the first ten years passed.

In a mysterious world fragment, Human Warriors gathered together, all wearing expressions of joy.

"In these ten years, we have found four Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, eleven innate supreme treasures, and over 2,000 Primal Spiritual Treasures."

"As it stands, we’ve made a modest profit."

As the Yuan Lord spoke, he felt a twinge of regret, wishing the Lord of the Demon Domain were present to save him some effort.

"In the time ahead, we need to pick up the pace."

"After another fifty years, the other major races from the Three Thousand Realms will arrive."

"When that time comes, if we want to find good treasures, we’ll have to fight for them!" The Yuan Lord laughed.

Fifty years is enough for them to take most of the good things from this shattered large world, leaving the other major races with only scraps.

"Yuan Lord, I want to know how we will distribute the sleeping Great Saint Powerful Beings once we find them," said a Great Saint from a top-tier sect.

This was also a concern for the other major forces.

"We didn’t say there would be no distribution; everything will be scattered within our human race in the Immortal Realm. Whoever’s force can claim it, it belongs to them," the Yuan Lord replied calmly.

"Can we at least have a guaranteed minimum?" the same top-tier sect Great Saint asked.

The other Great Saints from the major forces looked eagerly at the Yuan Lord.

Such reincarnated individuals who could at least become Saints were plentiful in the Yuanshi Sect, but the other sects were envious; it might take millions of years to gather a talent like this.

"First, we will look at the quantity. If there are many, each sect will get one, and the rest will be reincarnated to the human race in the Immortal Realm.

If there are few, it’s entirely up to your luck." The Yuan Lord made his decision.

"Alright, there are still fifty years left, so hurry along," the Yuan Lord said, distributing a jade plate to each Great Saint.

"This is to speed things up; I’ve marked out the areas for you where the good treasures are likely to be found."

With that, the meeting was adjourned, and Xu Fan returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"Master, the sect’s treasury needs to be expanded; I request permission for access," Grape reported as soon as Xu Fan returned.

"Weren’t we told two years ago that it could last for a while longer?" Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

"The disciples are collecting resources faster and have even developed corresponding celestial techniques for scavenging."

"This has led to an increasing amount of resources being teleported to the treasury," Grape reported.

"Then let’s expand it. It will be convenient to directly absorb from the fragmented worlds to reinforce the treasury. Let Number Two assist you then," Xu Fan instructed.

"Understood, Master."

In the courtyard, Xu Fan lay comfortably in a reclining chair.

Zhang Weiyun smiled as she prepared tea for Xu Fan.

"Currently, we are the only couple in the entire sect enjoying some leisure," Xu Fan said, gently rocking the chair.

"Husband sings while the wife follows; with you in such a relaxed and elegant mood, I naturally must stay by your side," Zhang Weiyun said, bringing the cup of tea to Xu Fan’s lips.

"This life is exactly what I dreamed of in the past," Xu Fan reminisced.

According to his initial thoughts when he first began cultivating, he should have reached a realm of invincibility and lived without worries by now.

But who would have known that each realm comes with its own responsibilities.

Xu Fan felt that although he appeared relaxed, there were still many things left undone, not quite achieving true carefree bliss.

"Then husband has achieved what he once desired. Once we return to the Three Thousand Realms, you can live this way for as long as you wish," Zhang Weiyun said.

"Some matters do need to be addressed, like your master; the debt for taking you away from me has yet to be settled."

"Then husband, on my behalf, could you go easy on your strikes when you spar with my master?"

Zhang Weiyun peeled a Dragon Essence Fruit and placed it in Xu Fan’s mouth.

"After all, it’s your master, so she will surely hold back."

"From the time we were apart until our reunion, let’s calculate in tens of years how many years you can let your master spend in seclusion healing."

Speaking of Zhang Weiyun’s master, Xu Fan recalled that Golden Immortal true dragon he had captured from the Divine Dragon Realm who had robbed him back in the lower world.

"Grape, since I’m in a good mood today, let’s give that inattentive Golden Dragon a hundred lashes with the Mixed Thunder Whip," Xu Fan said.

After capturing the Golden Immortal true dragon who stole his belongings, Xu Fan had specially crafted dozens of whips with different sensations.

Each whip felt different when striking the dragon’s body.

Whenever Xu Fan thought of that Golden Immortal true dragon, he would choose a whip and strike it a hundred times.
