Chapter 740: Unusual

Xu Fan suddenly stopped his cultivation and gazed thoughtfully at the sky.

He was confident that reaching the peak of the Great Ascension stage was indeed the limit of this world, and he worried that he might accidentally be forcibly sent to the Immortal Realm, just like the Golden Winged Roc and the Upper Zun.

He knew that even if he were sent to the Immortal Realm, he would still have to wait for the appointed time to break through the Great Ascension stage and become a Quasi-Immortal.

“It seems there’s another task; I need to have a good talk with this newly formed Heavenly Way’s Will,” Xu Fan said before closing his eyes and resuming his cultivation.

Unknowingly, three months passed, and during this time, nine out of the top twenty higher-ranked elders at the Elder Council headquarters had fallen.

The remaining ones were all injured.

Originally, the beast race could have broken through the Elder Council headquarters with a strong offensive.

But the Golden Winged Roc insisted on killing them one by one, treating the Elder Council headquarters as if it were already in his grasp.

Even the entire cultivation world would belong to him after the fall of the Elder Council.

The Celestial Turtle appeared once again, and the Golden Winged Roc lounged in the palace, leisurely gazing at the Elder Council headquarters.

This Elder Council headquarters was the result of generations of higher-ranked elders meticulously managing it for tens of thousands of years.

One could say this one headquarters alone was worth five or six great continents in the cultivation world.

Ming Kong emerged again with the pureblood Qilin and others to face off, but this time it was different; their eyes were filled with hope, as if they were ready to reap a bountiful harvest.

Seeing the expressions of Ming Kong and the others, the Golden Winged Roc became intrigued.

“Tell me what other tricks you have up your sleeve.”

“Don’t think about escaping with the Elder Council headquarters; I have already locked onto you. As long as you are in the beast race or the cultivation world, you cannot escape my grasp,” the Golden Winged Roc declared, sensing a slight unease in his heart.

Could that Star Spirit brat have any more tricks up his sleeve? Is he like the thousand-armed Guanyin?

Or is there an invincible respected elder in the cultivation world who could rival him?

“There are no tricks; if there is a battle, then let’s fight,” Ming Kong replied.

At that moment, a sect formed of condensed celestial energy appeared on Hidden Spirit Island.

Steps made of Immortal Jade led directly to Hidden Spirit Island.

Xu Fan looked up at the magnificent and mysterious sect in the sky, his expression dark.

All the people and beast race on Hidden Spirit Island stared blankly at the sect above.

Whether in the cultivation world or the demon race, as soon as a sect appeared, everyone had to enter; no one could resist that door.

“Master, how can you ascend? The sect cannot be without you!” Xu Gang exclaimed excitedly.

“Master, please don’t leave us! Ascend to the Immortal Realm with Hidden Spirit Island!” Xu Yuexian couldn’t help but say.

All the disciples looked at Xu Fan with reluctant expressions.

An invisible force locked onto Xu Fan, trying to pull him into the sect.

“Did I ruin your script?” Xu Fan said, looking at the sect in the sky.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

“Since I emerged from my seclusion, this world has hit its peak limit; you should show me the respect I deserve.”

“I’m really not happy about being thrown into the Immortal Realm so carelessly.”

Xu Fan’s eyes flickered with countless scriptures, and a massive Faceless Law Form Golden Body materialized in the sky.

It stood tens of thousands of feet tall, staring directly at the sect above.

Then, it extended a single finger toward the sect.

“You think you can control me in your world?” Xu Fan chuckled.

The Faceless Law Form Golden Body’s finger struck the sect, triggering a collision as if heaven and earth had clashed.

The sky, once perpetually overcast, cleared instantly, revealing a vast expanse of blue.

The Endless Sea erupted into chaos, and countless Great Ascension Stage Beasts beneath its surface were killed by the shockwaves.

Hidden Spirit Island activated its highest-level Protective Shield.

At that moment, a sharp crack echoed as the sect’s protective barrier shattered under the Faceless Law Form Golden Body’s finger.

A flood of scriptures poured from the fingertip, covering the entire sect and the Immortal Jade steps that had fallen onto Hidden Spirit Island.

The scriptures began dissolving the sect, breaking down its rules and power.

They then transformed into a massive web, pulling all the dissolved celestial energy back to Hidden Spirit Island.

Just as everyone thought the Grand Elder wouldn’t need to ascend, another sect appeared in the sky, with Immortal Jade steps extending down to Hidden Spirit Island once more.

Above the sect, a massive eye, thousands of feet wide and utterly indifferent to the mortal world, appeared, locking its gaze on Xu Fan.

“Why does everyone insist on showing off their giant eyes? Can’t you at least change your face? Let me see what you actually look like.”

Xu Fan stood outside Hidden Spirit Island’s grand formation, staring straight at the eye without a hint of fear.

He repeated the process, and once again, the celestial energy and Immortal Jade were swept into Hidden Spirit Island.

The Heavenly Eye in the sky widened further, still cold and unfeeling, fixated on Xu Fan.

It seemed determined not to relent until Xu Fan entered the sect.

“So stubborn.”

“By the rules, I don’t have to go to the Immortal Realm yet.”

As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, another sect appeared in the sky.

At that moment, a voice called out.

“Master, the Elder Council can’t hold out much longer.”

“I almost forgot about that—this door’s been distracting me.”

Xu Fan summoned a temporary avatar, using the sword formation puppet at the Elder Council headquarters as a medium to teleport over instantly.

“Hold them off for now. I’ll have some fun with this new Heavenly Way’s Will and see how much I can take from it.”

As Xu Fan spoke, the sect reappeared, and the Immortal Jade steps remained unchanged, landing in the same spot.

Xu Fan waved his hand, collecting everything.

The celestial energy and Immortal Jade were valuable; Xu Fan could take as much as he wanted.

At that moment, the Heavenly Eye shot a purple-gold beam at Xu Fan, trying to bind him and drag him into the sect.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Golden Winged Roc and the Elder Council reached a critical point.

Ming Kong’s true form had already been destroyed eight times.

Even the lower-ranked elders of the Elder Council were joining the fight.

“Boss, time’s up. You can’t keep fighting. Other people’s avatars still have a chance to ascend, but if you’re destroyed again, you’ll lose everything,” one of the higher-ranked elders said, his voice filled with concern.

“Just hold on a little longer. I just got word from Hidden Spirit Sect that the grandmaster has come out of seclusion, but he’s tied up with something troublesome and can’t move right away,” Ming Kong replied.

“What could be more important than the Elder Council headquarters being under attack?” another higher-ranked elder asked, his voice urgent.

At that moment, the pureblood Qilin let out a low roar.

Crimson spiritual flames erupted around it, and its form grew to twice its original size.

“You’re all ready to go all out, huh? Fine, it’s time to end this. You’ve been playing around long enough—I doubt you’ve got anything new,” the Golden Winged Roc said with a laugh.

With a sweep of his wings, a wind blade sliced through the air, obliterating a lower-ranked invincible respected elder.

Just as the Golden Winged Roc prepared to deliver a killing blow to the pureblood Qilin, he sensed an unusual presence.

Someone was breaking through his spatial blockade, teleporting in.
