Chapter 594: Advertisement from the Upper Realm

For Xu Fan, it didn’t matter which item to craft first or second.

After all, they were all on the same side; he couldn’t miss a single one.

Spirit Cut left, touched that he would be the first in the Hidden Spirit Sect to use the Grand Elder’s crafted celestial tool.

In the underground space, Xu Fan saw Second Clone, who was busy crafting a Great Ascension stage puppet.

“Are you still going out? You look like you’re having a great time outside,” First Clone asked while working on the Great Ascension stage puppet.

“Let’s stay at the sect for a while; we can talk about going out again once you finish crafting the puppet,” Xu Fan replied.

He decided his recent goal was to explore the entire vast area of the sect, but he must first ensure his strength was dominant.

“Once I become a true artifact great master, crafting this Great Ascension stage puppet will be easier than I imagined.”

“With the assistance of the Phoenix Divine Fire, it will only take five years,” First Clone said lightly.

“Sounds good! Once it’s finished, how about a long vacation?” Xu Fan laughed.

“Then let Pang Fu take me to Upper Zun Fairy City; I want to see how my big brother is doing and if he has upgraded to an artifact great master,” First Clone said.

“That’s fine; after all, the Master of the Artifact Hall is one of your few friends,” Xu Fan nodded in agreement.

After First Clone returned, even though Xu Fan did not share his memories, he could guess the general experience pretty accurately.

First Clone looked at Xu Fan seriously, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

“As your true self, you’ve qualified.”

Xu Fan frowned and looked at First Clone, asking, “Was I not qualified before?”

“You were just a conscientious capitalist before,” First Clone laughed.

“Don’t disturb me; I need to focus on crafting the Great Ascension stage puppet.”

First Clone didn’t give Xu Fan a chance to speak and hurried him away instead.

Xu Fan left the underground space and went to check on Second Clone.

At that moment, Second Clone was rapidly crafting the main dragon bone of the Star Ship.

“Your speed isn’t slow either!” Xu Fan exclaimed, watching the nearly completed main dragon bone.

“After all, it’s artifact-level materials; as an artifact great master, I should be a bit faster,” Second Clone replied.

A huge Phoenix Divine Fire furnace saw the refined Xuanfeng Thunder Iron flying toward it like a dragon!

The iron was melted down and poured out from the other end, filling the dragon bone under Second Clone’s control.

“How long until it’s completed?” Xu Fan asked.

“If you assign those beast clan master craftsmen for splitting the giant beasts to me, it’ll take at most three years,” Second Clone assured.

“Forget about those master craftsmen; the giant beast has already been half disassembled. They are in their prime at the moment.”

“Have Pang Fu borrow a few beast race master craftsmen from Qianling Sect; they have plenty over there,” Xu Fan suggested.

“That works; just in time for when we finish this Star Ship, we can start crafting the Giant Beast Ship,” Second Clone said, having already completed the entire dragon bone of the Star Ship.

“Wow, why are you so proactive this time?” Xu Fan laughed.

“Originally, I was planning to give you a long break after we finished crafting this Star Ship.”

“No need for a break; while working on this Star Ship, I came up with some ideas that could be applied to the Giant Beast Ship.”

“Besides, even if I don’t mention it, this is my responsibility. Whether I do it now or later, it’s all the same.”

The Second Clone walked over to Xu Fan and spoke.

“Why does it feel like you and First Clone are becoming more and more enlightened?” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Well, I’ve advanced to the level of an artifact great master. I’ve gained new insights into artifact crafting,” the Second Clone replied, handing a jade slip to Xu Fan.

“Here’s the design drawing for this Star Ship. Take a look and see if there’s anything you’d like to add.”

Xu Fan took the jade slip and focused his consciousness into it.

Instantly, a Star Ship shaped like an interstellar aircraft carrier appeared before his eyes.

“This Star Ship will serve as our main fighting strength.”

“The smaller Giant Beast Ship we craft later will act as our escort vessel.”

“With these, we’ll be unstoppable in both close and ranged combat,” the Second Clone explained.

“You’ve really thought this through, planning so far ahead,” Xu Fan praised.

“Heh, it’s no big deal,” the Second Clone chuckled.

“True self, there’s something I need to tell you,” the Second Clone suddenly said.

“What is it?”

“After advancing to artifact great master, I’ve been feeling a faint summons from the Thousand Worlds. Have you felt it too?” the Second Clone asked.

“You’ve felt it too?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

The Second Clone nodded.

“That’s strange. Logically, it should be me and First Clone who feel it first,” Xu Fan mused.

“After I reached the Void Refinement stage, I did sense a faint calling, but it disappeared soon after.”

“Every time I start artifact crafting, that feeling grows stronger, as if a voice is trying to tell me something.”

“Once I complete crafting a celestial tool, I’ll be able to ascend to the Upper World,” the Second Clone explained.

Xu Fan placed a hand on the Second Clone’s shoulder, and everything began to synchronize, except for memories.

Insights into artifact crafting, insights into the wide road of heaven and earth.

After a long moment, Xu Fan slowly withdrew his hand.

“Why is this happening?” Xu Fan murmured.

Among the two clones, the Second Clone had always stayed by his side, even when Xu Fan wasn’t at the sect.

Logically, this shouldn’t have happened to him.

“Could it be because you first inherited my formations discipline and then synchronized with the artifact crafting discipline? That might be why you’re sensing the call from the Upper World,” Xu Fan speculated, stroking his chin.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly looked up at the sky.

A piece of Immortal Jade tore through the void and landed in the Second Clone’s hand.

The Second Clone stared at the Immortal Jade, deep in thought.

“This is from the Thousand Worlds. A major force called Youxian Palace sent this Immortal Jade,” the Second Clone said, glancing at Xu Fan.

“Is this some kind of offer from the cultivation world?” Xu Fan asked, pointing at the Immortal Jade in the Second Clone’s hand.

Instantly, the two were pulled into a vast Mystical World.

The first thing they saw was a celestial gate crafted from celestial spirit jade.

Descending to the nine underworlds, rising to the celestial dome.

Just the sight of this celestial gate made Xu Fan and the Second Clone feel as if all things in the world were contained within it.

Then, a voice as clear as a silver bell rang out.

“Youxian Palace is one of the ten major forces in the Bi Hai region of the Tian Luo Immortal Realm.”

“We are guarded by three Golden Immortal ancestors!”

As the melodious voice continued, their perspective shifted, and they found themselves inside the celestial gate.

“In Youxian Palace, we command three…”

As the voice continued its explanation, Xu Fan realized—this wasn’t an offer. It was a precisely targeted advertisement.
