Chapter 798: Battle

Looking at the half-damaged true immortal puppet in his disciple’s hands, Xu Fan sighed.

From a normal perspective, a half-damaged puppet with a complete core was reasonably priced, if he hadn’t bought it.

Xu Fan waved his hand and stored the puppet in his space ring.

“Kailing, you’ve done well,” Xu Fan nodded.

“Thank you, Master. This is what a disciple should do,” Zhou Kailing said with a smile. The happiest thing in her life was receiving praise from her master.

“Grape, install an anti-fraud assistant on Kailing in the future,” Xu Fan instructed silently.

“Understood, Master. A trace of the source avatar will be attached to Kailing,” Grape responded.

“Your disciple is a bit naive; you need to look out for her more,” Xu Fan said.

“Elder Ming Kong, let’s set off for the Ancient Cang Realm now. For the few disciples who didn’t come, we can pick them up on the way,” Xu Fan said to Ming Kong, who was watching nearby.

The trap was laid, but the disciple’s heartfelt gesture couldn’t be rejected.

“Okay, Grand Elder, let’s depart for the Ancient Cang Realm now,” Ming Kong nodded.

The Ten Thousand Star Ship set off from the protective barrier of the Celestial Boat, flying towards the Ancient Cang Realm.

Seeing her master’s silent expression, Zhou Kailing couldn’t help but worry and asked, “Master, you look troubled. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“It’s nothing major. I was tricked by a merchant in the Building Merchant Association and lost nine hundred Immortal Jade. I’m just thinking about how to get it back,” Xu Fan replied with a smile, looking at the worried Zhou Kailing.

“It’s just nine hundred Immortal Jade. I can sell some divine abilities to make it up. I hope you don’t feel sad about this, Master,” Zhou Kailing said.

“You are a good child,” Xu Fan said to Zhou Kailing.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly spotted a long object in the sky, moving like a giant dragon.

Based on the position of the stars, this dragon-like star beast was about the same size as the Golden Stone Spirit encountered upon entering the star region.

“The star beast Azure Dragon is said to pass by the Ancient Cang Realm once every ten thousand years. According to records, as long as it doesn’t attack first, there is no danger,” Ming Kong’s voice echoed in the Tian Region.

“Lucky for us; we get to see such a spectacle on our first trip to the star region,” Xu Fan said with a smile, watching the Azure Dragon in the distance.

He wondered if this creature counted as part of the Dragon Race and thought about whether to settle the score with it when they gained strength in the future.

“Does this star beast Azure Dragon count as part of the Dragon Race?” Xu Fan curiously asked.

“It should, according to legend, this star beast Azure Dragon was hatched from the Heavenly Way’s Will of a middle thousand world owned by the Dragon Race.”

“After hatching, it carried the Heavenly Way’s Will and fled from that world,” Ming Kong explained.

“I suppose that counts,” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin while looking at the distant Azure Dragon.

He thought to himself that if their sect ever wanted to establish its own realm, attaching it to this star beast Azure Dragon would be quite advantageous.

As the Ten Thousand Star Ship approached the Ancient Cang Realm, the figure of the Azure Dragon grew larger.

In the star region, a dragon-like star beast, countless miles long, slowly drifted through space.

Upon getting closer, Xu Fan noticed thousands of points of light on the Azure Dragon’s body.

Using his spiritual eye, Xu Fan discovered that each point of light represented a giant city.

Those points of light were the protective shield’s spiritual light above the giant cities.

“Look, there are even Giant Cities up there. This is the star region; it’s truly unique,” Xu Fan said, gazing at the giant city beneath the protective shield’s spiritual light.

At that moment, Xu Fan received a message containing all the information about the starry sky of the Cang Realm.

“Star Beast Nomads, interesting.”

“The strong trade, the weak plunder.”

“Each Giant City is guarded by at least one invincible respected elder, and the strongest ones can have true immortals,” Xu Fan remarked, pointing at the brightest points of light on the Azure Dragon’s body.

“What a coincidence, the Azure Dragon that appears once every ten thousand years meets the randomly arriving merchants from the Immortal Realm.”

“Is there a connection between these two?”

One person in the Tian Region and the other in the control room engaged in a remote conversation.

“Who knows? Maybe the Spring Blossom Merchant Association wants to trade while the Azure Dragon passes through the Ancient Cang Realm,” Xu Fan speculated.

“Grand Elder, do you think that merchant association wants to capture the Azure Dragon?” Ming Kong asked.

“Anything is possible. Since you often come to the star region, don’t ask this newbie too many questions,” Xu Fan laughed.

At that moment, a slightly smaller immortal ship flew toward the Azure Dragon.

“From the looks of this immortal ship, it seems aggressive; they must be looking for trouble,” Xu Fan said with a smile, eager to watch the unfolding drama.

Just then, the Azure Dragon erupted with sparkling light, signifying the fluctuations of battle.

Xu Fan waved his hand, and a giant light curtain appeared mid-air.

On the light curtain, two forces clashed.

One side wore uniforms of the Spring Blossom Merchant Association, while the other side was unified in black robes.

This battle involved at least a thousand respected elders, over a hundred Quasi-Immortals, and more than ten true immortals on each side.

As the battle fluctuations intensified, Ming Kong maneuvered the Ten Thousand Star Ship to a standstill, activated the protective spiritual array, and focused on the spectacle.

Xu Fan and a group of disciples watched the battle on the light curtain and took out Spiritual Fruits and candy, sharing them with the watching disciples.

“Currently, the Spring Blossom Merchant Association has deployed 1,320 respected elders, including 120 invincible respected elders.”

“There are 124 Quasi-Immortals and 13 true immortals.”

“On the Azure Dragon’s side, there are 1,956 respected elders, with 92 invincible respected elders, 150 Quasi-Immortals, and 15 true immortals.”

“However, the numbers on the Azure Dragon’s side are increasing, but they are clearly unable to keep up with the rate of losses.”

Looking at the giant light curtain, Xu Fan began to explain to his disciples.

“From a quality standpoint, it’s clear that the Spring Blossom Merchant Association has the advantage.”

“All their cultivators have been systematically trained, and their techniques, methods, formations, and treasures are all suitable for large-scale battles.”

“In contrast, the many star beasts of the Azure Dragon are of uneven strength, and their formations are sparse, resembling scattered soldiers.”

“However, their only advantage is that some individual cultivators are exceptionally strong.”

As Xu Fan spoke, he projected several smaller light curtains.

The small screens focused on cultivators with exceptional fighting strength, including invincible respected elders and Quasi-Immortals.

As Xu Fan explained, all the disciples stared in awe at the battle.

“So this is what a large-scale battle looks like,” Qian Bing pondered as he watched the fighting on the light curtain.

“After returning, I must practice my formation skills. In battles of this scale, formations are truly vital.”

“Is this what a true immortal looks like? Their power is astonishing.”

Some disciples exclaimed in amazement, while others contemplated deeply, and still others gazed blankly at those formidable figures who could fend off attacks from more than ten invincible respected elders.
