Chapter 783: Alliance

A spirit talisman appeared in Xu Fan’s hand.

"Keep this with you," Xu Fan said.

This talisman was formed by extracting a trace of Great Luo power from the realm pearl, ensuring it had no causal connections.

If it’s from the same level, they definitely won’t be able to detect where the wearer of the talisman is.

"Master, what is this talisman for?" Xu Yuexian asked curiously.

"It blocks causal connections, making it so that you won’t be disturbed by anything from the upper realm while in the South Mountain Realm," Xu Fan explained.

"Thank you, Master." Xu Yuexian said before leaving.

Just as Xu Fan was about to continue playing with the panda, his artifact crafting disciple, Zhang Daqi, requested to see him again.

"What is it?" Xu Fan asked as he looked at his valuable disciple.

"Master, I just received a letter from my family, and they want me to return for a while," Zhang Daqi replied.

As the reputation of the Hidden Spirit Sect grew in the cultivation world, this small master craftsman had been uncovered, and the news reached his family.

"Go ahead. Wealth and honor do not return home, like walking through the night in fine clothes. Just don’t embarrass the reputation of the sect when you go back," Xu Fan said while scratching the panda’s chin.

"Thank you, Master."

After Zhang Daqi left, Xu Fan looked up at the sky and smiled.

"Wealth and honor do not return home, like walking through the night in fine clothes."

In his previous life, he had fantasized about achieving great success so that his family and all his relatives would see him in a different light.

But that was merely one of his imagined beautiful dreams from his past life.

Just as Xu Fan was reflecting, the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation in the underground space lit up with spiritual light.

"Bring the person to the guest hall, Grape," Xu Fan instructed.

"At once, Master."

Xu Fan, still holding the panda, appeared directly in the guest hall.

Before long, a stunning woman dressed in a bright red long dress walked out from the void.

"No wonder you are the Supreme Elder of the South Mountain Realm; you broke through the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation I sealed," Xu Fan said, looking at Red Lotus Respected Elder.

"The Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation is two-way; if you can come, I can too," Red Lotus Respected Elder replied with a smile.

"I wonder what brings you here today, my friend?" Xu Fan asked.

Red Lotus Respected Elder’s fighting strength matched his, but the premise was not to disrupt the entire cultivation world.

"I just wanted to see what kind of cultivation world can nurture such a powerful being," Red Lotus Respected Elder answered with a smile, looking around the guest hall with great interest.

"This is innate; there’s nothing that can be done about it."

A Great Ascension stage puppet came in, carrying the prepared tea.

"I mainly came to understand the world you are in, and secondly, I have a matter to discuss with you," Red Lotus Respected Elder said.

"What does my friend wish to discuss with me?" Xu Fan replied lightly, showing little interest.

"You should know, my friend, that besides the South Mountain Realm, there are two other realms: the North Sea Realm and the Spirit Element Realm."

"Although the human race in the South Mountain Realm is the strongest, each of the other two realms has a top-tier Great Ascension stage powerful being."

"The three realms have been in a struggle for tens of thousands of years, with ups and downs. So, I want to unify the three realms and have the South Mountain Realm absorb the other two."

"We need your help," said Red Lotus Respected Elder.

"What’s in it for me?" Xu Fan got straight to the point.

"Whatever you desire, as long as it’s within our means in the South Mountain Realm, we will provide it," Red Lotus Respected Elder assured.

This made Xu Fan think. After some consideration, he realized he didn’t lack much himself, but his disciples did!

"This is a big decision; let me think it over," Xu Fan decided to play it safe and figure out what he wanted first.

"Of course, absorbing the two realms isn’t something that can be done overnight; we can wait," Red Lotus Respected Elder said with a smile.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly thought of something interesting.

"Did you already have plans to merge the two realms before?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

"Ever since we had three supreme respected elders in the South Mountain Realm, Little Bai has been pushing us to attack the other two realms."

"But the other two realms have teamed up to counter the human race. While we can gain some advantages, they don’t have many ways to counter the larger trends," Red Lotus Respected Elder sighed.

"If the South Mountain Realm absorbs the other two realms, can it accommodate true immortals?" Xu Fan asked, knowing that middle thousand worlds could level up by devouring each other.

In fact, some could advance from the middle thousand world to the Great Thousand World.

"Not exactly, but if we absorb a few more intermediate worlds, according to Little Bai, we could create a little Immortal Realm, which can accommodate true immortal level beings. However, even then, the number would be limited," Red Lotus Respected Elder explained.

Her words immediately sparked a new idea in Xu Fan.

"However, the little Immortal Realm has a drawback: it cannot exist within the radiation range of the Great Thousand World," Red Lotus Respected Elder added.

"What does that mean?" Xu Fan asked, somewhat confused.

"It means that as long as there’s a pathway in the middle thousand worlds to ascend to the Great Thousand World, it falls within the radiation range."

Well, there went his budding idea, snuffed out.

"What if there isn’t?" Xu Fan asked again.

"Then we sneak across! For the bold, get a Star Ship and head straight to the star region to try your luck."

"For those with more resources, get a Universe Ship to search for the Immortal Realm," Red Lotus Respected Elder said.

The South Mountain Realm was familiar with these situations due to its world-level trade activities.

"Thank you for the information, my friend." Xu Fan felt he had gained a bit of insight today.

"Alright, we’ve discussed business. Now, if you allow me, I’d like to visit the cultivation world where you reside," Red Lotus Respected Elder said.

"Go ahead. You seem like someone with a good heart. Otherwise, someone like you roaming the cultivation world would make ordinary folks uneasy," Xu Fan said with a smile.

Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Red Lotus Respected Elder clearly rolled her eyes.

"I once thought the same about you, but look at what you’ve done! Our Little Bai is still recovering."

Xu Fan ignored Red Lotus Respected Elder’s eye roll and poured tea to see her off.

As soon as Red Lotus Respected Elder left Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan suddenly received a message from the Heavenly Way’s Will.

It hoped he would keep an eye on Red Lotus Respected Elder and prevent her from doing anything excessive.

"Don’t worry; she won’t dare," Xu Fan said, looking at the sky.

"I’ve assured you, so what’s in it for me?"

Since he had no ties to the Heavenly Way’s Will, he naturally wanted compensation for his services.

A multi-colored glow fell upon the Hidden Spirit Sect’s protective grand formation.

Xu Fan vaguely sensed that the fortune of the Hidden Spirit Sect had increased slightly.

"Not bad; better than nothing," Xu Fan said.

In the extreme north, beneath a vast ice field spanning tens of millions of kilometers, a sword light emerged from beneath the ice.

A man dressed in a Hidden Spirit Sect robe appeared.

Looking at the boundless, desolate plain, the man let out a long howl.

"Finally, success! With these treasures, after ascending to the Immortal Realm, I can quickly become a true immortal and then reincarnate for my final life."
