Chapter 719: Long-Distance Teleportation

In the guest hall, Spirit Cut, Xu Gang, Li Xingci, and Qiu Ziyuan were hosting Elder Wanling.

"I didn’t expect that after so many years away from the cultivation world, such a powerful sect would emerge," Elder Wanling remarked with a touch of nostalgia.

"Senior, you mentioned that your plan was disrupted. Would you like me to send the Spirit Rabbit Clan back?" Li Xingci inquired.

"No need. Since you’ve already wiped out that clan, there’s little point in bringing them back," Elder Wanling replied.

"I’ll find another opportunity and aim to take out a few key Invincible Beast Kings of the beast race before I ascend," he added with a grin.

He had been undercover in the beast race, waiting for the right moment to strike at those isolated Invincible Beast Kings who were crucial to the beast race.

This time, his target was the Purple Jade Flood Dragon.

Unfortunately, instead of the Purple Jade Flood Dragon, Hidden Spirit Island showed up.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, Senior."

"No worries; I’ll just have to find another chance," Elder Wanling said, waving off their concerns.

"I’ll be leaving soon to go back undercover in the beast race."

"But before I go, I need you to relay a few messages to the Elder Council. Just have Grapes deliver the message to Shaoyu."

"Why don’t you send it yourself, Senior?" Xu Gang asked.

"I’ve sealed away everything connected to the Elder Council in the demon realm to minimize any causal ties," Elder Wanling explained, handing them a jade slip.

"It’s a shame I didn’t get to meet your Grand Elder, but seeing such a formidable sect rise among the human race is satisfying enough," Elder Wanling said with a smile, as he waved goodbye and let Grapes break the spatial seal to teleport him away.

The seven spatial magic cubes not only could dismantle the spatial seal but also strengthen the space.

"I can’t believe the most enigmatic Elder Wanling, with the serial number nine, was in the demon realm," Xu Gang marveled.

"That’s not unusual; such tactics are common in both the beast race and human race, and some even hold high positions," Spirit Cut noted.

"Perhaps one of the top elders in the Elder Council is a sleeper agent planted by the demon realm years ago."

"Or maybe a newly rising top powerful family in the demon realm was actually cultivated by the human race, ready to strike the beast race when the full-scale war breaks out," Spirit Cut added matter-of-factly.

"Wow, that’s quite the strategy," Li Xingci nodded in agreement.

Spirit Cut glanced at Li Xingci’s expression, slightly exasperated.

The whole sect knew he was in charge of intelligence; who knows how many beast race informants he had recruited?

"Among those beast races you’ve turned, what’s the highest cultivation level? Any at the Core Formation stage?" Spirit Cut asked out of curiosity.

He was aware that Li Xingci’s techniques and methods were ideal for recruiting informants.

"Since Elder Spirit Cut is curious, I’ll fill you in," Li Xingci said with a smile, as everyone in the guest hall was privy to this level of information.

"The highest cultivation level among the beast race informants we’ve deployed is the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign," Li Xingci revealed.

Although beast kings aren’t a big deal to the Hidden Spirit Sect anymore, in the demon realm, they’re still a dominant force, barring any unforeseen events.

"Great Ascension Beast Sovereign!" Everyone was taken aback.

"Is it really that surprising to develop a few informants at the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign level over a thousand years?" Li Xingci chuckled.

"Several?" Everyone gasped, nearly causing the air on Hidden Spirit Island to warm up.

"Impressive!" Spirit Cut remarked.

"Honestly, it wasn’t that hard. With a couple of Great Ascension stage puppets, we nearly killed that beast king and planted the Reincarnation Seal."

"The whole thing went smoothly, no real challenges."

"Wouldn’t it be a waste if I had to deal with a Great Respected Elder myself or raise informants from scratch?" Li Xingci said casually, observing everyone’s reactions.

"Grapes, does the sect have anything else to arrange now?" Qiu Ziyuan asked after the discussion.

"Let’s assign another Spirit Rabbit to take over Elder Wanling’s duties," Grapes replied with a smile.

"Grapes, what if that Spirit Rabbit was actually the Invincible Beast King in disguise?"

"Do we have a contingency plan?" Spirit Cut asked curiously.

"We’d use spatial repulsion; the entire Hidden Spirit Island would then teleport to a backup location."

"Hidden Spirit Island has emergency protocols for every conceivable scenario. We’re prepared for anything," Grapes said proudly.

"What if the entire cultivation world is destroyed?" Li Xingci asked, recalling what he had seen during his reincarnation in the Thousand Worlds.

"We’d enter spatial turbulence, escape the destruction zone, and reach an area outside the cultivation world. There’s a seventy percent chance of success," Grapes explained.

The group, intrigued, asked Grapes about various bizarre invasion scenarios, and Grapes answered each one.

After Elder Wanling left, Hidden Spirit Island returned to its usual routine.

Everyone focused on their cultivation or tasks, and Hidden Spirit Island spent three peaceful years in the Extreme Void Domain.

Then one day, the sealed acceleration small world opened, and Xu Fan emerged, looking somewhat tired.

"Grapes, prepare for teleportation to the designated location; I need to undergo the Tribulation of the Physical Body," Xu Fan announced, looking up.

"Understood, Master. Preparing for long-distance spatial transfer; the core of Hidden Spirit Island is charging and warming up," Grapes responded.

Simultaneously, all humans and beasts on Hidden Spirit Island were notified to gather in the core world as the island prepared for a long-distance teleportation.

In the core world, everyone saw Xu Fan, who had been in seclusion for three years.

"Master, how long were you in the time acceleration secret realm?" Li Xingci asked, sensing Xu Fan’s aura.

"Just over a thousand years," Xu Fan replied with a smile.

He had previously explained to his disciples why he used time acceleration.

He was cultivating the myriad paths, which required extensive time to comprehend.

Without time acceleration, he might have spent ten thousand years in this realm without advancing to a Great Respected Elder.

His somewhat ambiguous explanation left his disciples both puzzled and impressed.

"With Master’s talent, focusing on one path could have made him an invincible respected elder long ago," Xu Gang commented.

"True, after all these years with Master, I’ve never seen him use the same technique twice in battle," Wang Xiangchi added.

"Master, are you advancing to the Overcoming Tribulations stage this time?" Xu Yuexian asked, as the long-distance teleportation suggested something significant.

Xu Fan nodded.

Hearing this, everyone was thrilled.

"Master is finally advancing to the Great Respected Elder level!" Xu Gang and the others exclaimed in delight.

At that moment, the core small world shook slightly, signaling the end of Hidden Spirit Island’s long-distance teleportation.

West Sky State, the westernmost large state in the cultivation world, is bordered on three sides by the Endless Sea.

It is the state least influenced by the beast race.
