Chapter 534: Heart of the Powerful Being

Xu Fan chuckled at the Golden Devourer Tiger’s words.

"Go ahead, call your father’s avatar and wipe out the humans in this area."

"Let me see if the heart of the powerful being you’ve cultivated during your travels in the human cultivation world is really this despicable."

"Summon your father’s avatar, destroy us, and you’ll never grow beyond this level."

"Do you know why the Golden Winged Roc Emperor rules over your beast race?"

"Because he is a true powerful being, with a heart of strength. Every word he speaks and every action he takes commands respect among your beast race. The myriad tribes of the demon realm dare not defy him!"

The Core Formation Stage Puppet unleashed a verbal onslaught at the Golden Devourer Tiger.

Meanwhile, back at the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan quietly pulled out the Avatar Jade Talisman left by the Source Flame Respected Elder, planning to start with the low-end version and switch to the high-end version if necessary.

The Golden Devourer Tiger stared at the puppet, deep in thought, before murmuring, "The heart of the powerful being?"

He had always measured his future against the Golden Winged Roc Emperor, the figure he had idolized since childhood.

Xu Fan’s words brought back memories of when he had seen the Golden Winged Roc as a child. Back then, three of the most revered Invincible Beast Kings in his clan had bowed their heads in humility before the Golden Winged Roc.

"You’re lucky. Those words just now woke me up. Who are you, the one controlling the puppet?"

The Golden Devourer Tiger’s killing intent faded, replaced by his usual commanding presence.

"Sword King Sect, Ye Xiaoyao," Xu Fan’s voice rang out.

"Ye Xiaoyao, huh? I’ll remember that."

With that, the Golden Devourer Tiger left behind a celestial tool and two top-tier artifacts, then transformed into a streak of golden light and flew away.

Xu Fan was left speechless.

"That was… abrupt. I hadn’t even started my verbal barrage yet," Xu Fan said, a little disappointed.

"But giving away a celestial tool just like that? He must be quite the character."

The Celestial Spirit Dao Plate floated into the puppet’s hand.

"Master, you can integrate this Celestial Spirit Dao Plate into the Hidden Spirit Island’s Spirit Gathering Formation," Grape’s voice chimed in.

"What will it do once it’s integrated?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"The Celestial Spirit Dao Plate can gather celestial energy, but without a special environment, the celestial energy will break down into five elemental origins."

"Once integrated into the sect’s Spirit Gathering Formation, it can elevate Hidden Spirit Island to the level of the Source Realm, but only for one month each year," Grape explained.

"One month of five elemental origins for over ten thousand people? That’s already quite generous," Xu Fan nodded.

Just then, Spirit Cut and the others arrived at Xu Fan’s side.

"Grand Elder, today was quite the spectacle," Spirit Cut said in awe.

After witnessing the battle, he finally understood just how powerful his support was.

He began to wonder if he should work harder to avoid being left behind by such a strong ally.

"Master, is this the ultimate form of the Five Elements Divine Technique?" Xu Gang asked excitedly.

During the battle, the power unleashed by the swirling black and white light sphere was, in his eyes, the most beautiful sight in the world.

"This is just the beginning; after this technique, there are infinite paths for you to explore—I’ve already paved the way ahead for you," Xu Fan said with a smile.

The two top-tier artifacts left behind transformed into beams of light and entered Wang Xiangchi and Li Xingci’s bodies.

"Perfect, I’m giving you these two good items, so you won’t have to bother me for making any in the future," Xu Fan remarked.

Even with Xu Fan’s discerning eye, the two top-tier artifacts left by the Golden Devourer Tiger were rare treasures.

"Master, I already have four Spiritual Swords; this one really isn’t necessary, so I’ll give it to my senior sister," Wang Xiangchi said as he tried to pass the top-tier Spiritual Sword to Xu Yuexian.

Xu Fan directly overruled him.

"Take it; no need for so much chatter. This Spiritual Sword aligns with your techniques and methods. Make do with it until you reach the Great Ascension stage, then I will directly give you a celestial tool."

"You can’t give it to your senior sister; she has more than enough of these," Xu Fan continued.

"Then I will accept this Spiritual Sword for now."

Wang Xiangchi reluctantly took it, actually preferring the Spiritual Swords crafted by Xu Fan, as they were tailored just for him and felt incredibly smooth to use.

Now with this Spiritual Sword, he wondered when he would next receive one forged by his master or his master’s avatar.

In contrast, Li Xingci remained calm, showing no hesitation, only gratitude in his eyes.

"Grand Elder, do you still take on disciples? The kind that can restart their spirits," Spirit Cut asked enviously.

After all, those were top-tier artifacts, and even the treasures he used at his peak couldn’t compare.

"Spirit Cut Elder, you’re joking. I only take disciples under the age of twelve," Xu Fan laughed as he declined.

"Well, that’s too bad," Spirit Cut said, somewhat disappointed.

At that moment, Xu Fan noticed something unusual about Xu Yuexian.

"Yuexian, what’s wrong?" Xu Fan asked.

"Master, look over there!" Xu Yuexian said, pointing at the sky behind Xu Fan.

Everyone followed Xu Yuexian’s gesture.

"I don’t see anything unusual?" Xu Gang remarked.

At that moment, Xu Fan’s expression changed, as though he had uncovered something within the hearts of men.

"Yuexian’s spiritual awareness is getting sharper; I didn’t even notice there’s a spatial ruin here," Xu Fan praised.

"Why didn’t I notice it?" Spirit Cut asked in surprise.

A small amount of spiritual energy began to gather in the puppet’s hand, soon transforming into a pair of glasses.

"Spirit Cut Elder, put these on and you will see the spiritual energy image," the puppet said.

"Well, you’re right! With the master’s unique spiritual eye technique, I can indeed see something unusual there," Xu Gang said.

Spirit Cut put on the spirit-image glasses Xu Fan handed him.

"Indeed extraordinary; that tiny bit of spiritual energy is replacing itself in such a regular pattern," Spirit Cut said, looking at the direction Xu Yuexian pointed to.

"Yuexian, go take a look at what’s inside," Xu Fan instructed.

"Master, as you wish; this is my specialty!" Xu Yuexian smiled, then sent out an avatar that soared into the air.

As everyone watched Xu Yuexian’s avatar use various probing techniques to break through the formation’s techniques, she employed the Five Elements of Spiritual Energy detection technique, spiritual light detection technique, upper deity detection technique, and sound wave exploration technique…

"What a skilled method! I also spent a bit of time treasure hunting when I was young, but I only knew how to do the Five Elements of Spiritual Energy detection and spiritual light detection techniques," Spirit Cut said.

"Then your time as a treasure hunter must not have been long," Xu Fan asked with a smile.

"I only did it for about fifty years. It wasn’t interesting, so I returned to the Demon Sect; I found fighting to be more engaging," Spirit Cut said, stroking his beard and laughing.

At this moment, Xu Yuexian’s avatar realized that various probing techniques could not find an entrance, so she began taking out various specialized treasures and conducting a series of operations, creating an impressive and slightly mysterious aura.
