Chapter 752: My Wife Has Left Again

Feng Chang Ning departed with her trusted aides.

Xu Fan sat in the guest hall, deep in thought.

“The human race and the beast race are locked in conflict, while those chosen by fate, arranged by the heavens, are biding their time, waiting to rise amidst the chaos.”

“It seems I’ve disrupted the original plan. I wonder how the heavens will rewrite the next act.” As Xu Fan pondered, the sect and Immortal Jade steps reappeared above the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Xu Fan glanced briefly and seized the opportunity to reap some benefits.

He expected the sect to reappear, but after a long wait, Zhang Yue only received a vague message.

“Am I being forced to leave this realm within a thousand years?” Xu Fan muttered, looking up at the sky in confusion.

He knew this was the heavens’ final ultimatum.

“Are you planning to clear me out so you can continue your script?”

“When the thousand years are up, if I refuse to leave, what can you do to me?”

He had no desire to start over in the Immortal Realm.

Just then, Xu Fan received another vague message.

The gist of it was that his superior had been informed, and it was the superior who granted him the thousand years. Whether he left or stayed was no longer their concern.

“…”

Who taught you to tattle to the higher-ups?

Xu Fan sighed, resigned to the fact that he would likely have to leave when the time came.

“A thousand years should be enough,” Xu Fan mused.

After the Dragon-Tiger Banquet, Xu Fan finally settled into a leisurely life.

He spent his days with his wife, basking in the sun, fishing, daydreaming, and occasionally refining his techniques.

He also held regular teachings at the Hidden Spirit Sect.

This was the life Xu Fan realized he truly desired.

The celestial tools he had commissioned were finally completed by Number One and Number Two.

Xu Fan examined the broadsword crafted from red crystal stones and nodded in approval.

Having advanced to the rank of Great Ascension Master, the artifact crafting skills of his two avatars had improved significantly.

“Let’s give it a name. It’s at least a medium-grade celestial tool,” Xu Fan said.

Crafting it into a medium-grade celestial tool was the limit of the spirit ore used, not a reflection of Number One and Number Two’s true capabilities.

“Let’s call it Dragon Slayer. I hope one day to use this blade to slay the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon on the cover of your little notebook,” Number One suggested.

“This blade still needs some work,” Xu Fan remarked, stroking his chin as he studied Dragon Slayer.

“No worries. If it falls short later, we can upgrade it gradually, and the name can be passed down,” Number Two said with a smile.

“Alright then. From now on, this blade shall be called Dragon Slayer,” Xu Fan agreed with a nod.

“Number Two, after taking a break, head to the Elder Council headquarters and fix the Ten Thousand Star Ship,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Alright, I’ll rest for a month and then go,” Avatar Number Two replied before vanishing.

“What about me? What’s my task?” Avatar Number One asked, looking at Xu Fan.

“Keep working on improving Hidden Spirit Island. We’ll have to leave in a thousand years,” Xu Fan explained, sharing the message he’d received from the heavenly path.

“Why not threaten them again? Our potential is limitless, after all,” Avatar Number One suggested, clearly enjoying stirring the pot.

“You know it’s about the long game. A wise man doesn’t take unnecessary risks. If it’s time to go, we go,” Xu Fan replied.

“Fine, do as you please. We’ve got a thousand years to perfect Hidden Spirit Island, but it might need your direct involvement. Otherwise, it’ll still be half-finished by then,” Avatar Number One said, knowing Xu Fan hadn’t had much time to relax.

“Leave it to me. I’ll make a few trips to the core of the Extreme Void Domain,” Xu Fan said with a nod.

As the most powerful being in this realm, Xu Fan could travel almost anywhere instantly using formations, as long as it wasn’t too far. Even the journey from Hidden Spirit Island to the core of the Extreme Void Domain wouldn’t take long.

In the courtyard, Xu Fan held his wife’s hand, reluctant to let go.

The Mysterious Azure Elder stood nearby, watching with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

“Weiyun, I’ll be waiting for you on Hidden Spirit Island,” Xu Fan said softly.

After spending so much time together, Xu Fan had come to appreciate the loneliness he’d felt before.

“Don’t worry, husband. As soon as I find what my master needs, I’ll come back to you,” Zhang Weiyun said, her voice tinged with sadness.

“The places you’re going are mostly secret realms I can’t detect, so take these with you,” Xu Fan said, producing two Avatar Jade Talismans. He’d been working tirelessly to create them, and they could unleash 70% of his fighting strength.

“Husband, we won’t need them. My master and I both have spirit bodies of great fortune. Danger turns into opportunity for us, so these talismans are unnecessary,” Zhang Weiyun said, pushing them back. The Mysterious Azure Elder rolled her eyes at the exchange.

“Just take them. If you don’t, your master might glare you to death,” Xu Fan joked, placing the talismans directly into Zhang Weiyun’s space ring.

“I’ll treasure these talismans, husband,” Zhang Weiyun said, touched by his gesture.

“Use them if you need to. If they run out, I’ll make more. Just stay safe,” Xu Fan said.

Just after seeing his wife off, Xu Fan received a frantic message from his disciple, Zhou Kailing.

“Master, help!!!”

Without a second thought, Xu Fan summoned a teleportation portal and stepped through.

Meanwhile, Zhou Kailing was running for her life, using every Taoist tool at her disposal. Behind her, a horde of rock giants pursued her relentlessly, as if she’d personally wronged them.

Massive boulders, each the size of a house, hurtled toward her, breaking the sound barrier. Zhou Kailing dodged them with the speed techniques she’d honed over the years.

All the Great Ascension stage puppets guarding her had been crushed by the furious stone giants. The fastest of them was a towering rock giant over thirty feet tall, radiating immense power and deadly intent.

Its once-friendly face was now twisted with rage as it hurled boulders at Zhou Kailing.

“Can’t you let me go? I admit I was wrong!” Zhou Kailing shouted.

“You must die! No one who dares to use such a technique on us will live to tell the tale,” the lead rock giant roared.

The stone spirits had always lived peacefully, even staying neutral during the War between Realms. They simply wanted to live quietly in their corner of the world, but someone had targeted them with a large-scale, destructive technique.

“What did we ever do to deserve this?” the rock giant growled.

“My master is incredibly powerful. If you keep this up, I’ll call him!” Zhou Kailing threatened, activating a talisman to boost her speed.

But the rock giant countered with a gravity technique, slowing her down once more.
