Chapter 840: Precise Control of the Divine Power

After a round of polite exchanges, Xu Fan and the Upper Zun started chatting.

As they talked, they found themselves increasingly in sync, feeling a strong connection.

"Upper Zun, how did you manage to escape from the Golden Immortals?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"When I was trapped by the Golden Winged Roc Clan, I had no choice but to take on a master," the Upper Zun replied.

"The Golden Winged Roc Clan is not to be messed with; they had to let me go," he said with some resignation.

"That’s impressive; just picking any master allows you to overpower the Golden Winged Roc Clan," Xu Fan praised.

"My master is a complicated story; we’ll discuss it in detail after you reach the upper world," the Upper Zun said with a smile.

Just then, the communication celestial formation’s energy ran low, and they bid each other farewell before disconnecting.

"The Elder Council is indeed well-established; this communication celestial formation must have cost a lot of Immortal Jade," Xu Fan remarked as he looked at the formation.

"No matter how strong the foundation is, it can’t compare to the Grand Elder’s prowess," Ming Kong said with a laugh.

When he took Xu Fan to the Ancient Cang Realm, the Grand Elder had earned back everything he previously spent there.

"The best continents of the demon race’s resources have all been occupied by the human race. The beast race is now limited to a few barren continents and can’t turn things around for tens of thousands of years."

"The plan moving forward is to have those sects and trading companies relocate to those areas to develop and strengthen the overall power of our human race."

"The more powerful the human race becomes, the less the beast race will be able to rise again. In tens of thousands of years, they may even become a vassal of the human race," Ming Kong explained.

"So what are you trying to say?" Xu Fan asked, looking at Ming Kong.

"I know the Grand Elder intends to have the entire sect ascend together, but could we leave behind an inheritance before we ascend?"

"Later on, there will be a continuous stream of Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples ascending to the upper world and returning to the sect."

"This will also benefit future development in the Feiyu Realm, like the Ancient Cang Realm evolved into its own little Immortal Realm," Ming Kong said earnestly.

"Leaving behind an inheritance is not impossible; at the time of ascension, I will retain a branch of disciples to ensure the Hidden Spirit Sect continues to develop in the Feiyu Realm," Xu Fan thought for a moment and nodded, considering it a good backup plan.

"Based on the Upper Zun’s suggestion, I have already communicated with the heavenly path of this realm and integrated the merit and fortune of all human race members of the Elder Council; I made a deal with the heavenly path."

"Are you planning to merge with the path of heaven, to help develop the entire Feiyu Realm?" Xu Fan looked at Ming Kong with some admiration.

Doing this meant binding his entire being to the heavenly path; they would rise together or fall together.

Ming Kong nodded.

"Although I am an invincible respected elder, when I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I will only be a small fairy citizen there."

"Even if I can rely on the Upper Zun later, the outcome will still just be a small true immortal."

"Rather than that, it is better to stay in the Feiyu Realm and develop; perhaps when the world upgrades, I can reach the Golden Immortal stage," Ming Kong said calmly.

"Right now, the situation is favorable; with the two realms unified, it won’t take a few thousand years for the entire human race in the Feiyu Realm to reach its peak."

"At that point, expanding outward to merge with other middle thousand worlds and evolving a little Immortal Realm will be within reach," Ming Kong said with ambition.

"That’s excellent! The developmental approach is very correct," Xu Fan praised.

"I hope in the future, considering the Grand Elder’s regard for our shared realm, you can assist the Feiyu Realm more," Ming Kong said respectfully.

"Don’t talk about helping or not; we’re friends. Without your help, I wouldn’t have reached the supreme level so quickly," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Coincidentally, I’m planning to send a Universe Ship to explore the middle thousand worlds around the Feiyu Realm. You can send a few higher-ranked elders along," Xu Fan offered.

"I’ll thank the Grand Elder on behalf of the Elder Council," Ming Kong said happily.

"No need to thank me; the development of my hometown benefits me too," Xu Fan replied.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly remembered something he hadn’t asked.

"Who won the league in the end?" Xu Fan asked.

Hearing Xu Fan’s question, Ming Kong’s expression turned strange.

"In the end, the Grand Elder’s sect took first place, the Elder Council was second, and the Demon Sect came in third."

"That’s a bit different from what I expected, but not too far off," Xu Fan said, waving his hand before turning into spirit light and disappearing.

Back at the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan reverted to a mortal and slept soundly in his room for a long time.

Three days later, Xu Fan sat in the courtyard, watching the final match of the league.

The Hidden Spirit Sect was up against the Elder Council.

Both sides entered the battlefield, going all out.

Feng Hong from the Elder Council, who specialized in the art of divination, immediately pushed his lifespan to the limit to strategize against the hundred thousand disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect, effectively using a full-map perspective from the start.

Xu Fan watched with interest; he had seen his sect’s disciples training intensely during this period.

However, the overall improvement in fighting strength in such a short time was limited.

Moreover, while the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples were advancing, the Elder Council was not standing still either.

By the time of the match, their strengths were quite balanced.

"Someone must have figured out a countermeasure; let’s see how this plays out," Xu Fan said, stroking his chin and chuckling.

He hadn’t asked for details beforehand to keep a bit of mystery and suspense while watching the battle.

But he didn’t expect that after watching for a short while, the mystery would quickly disappear.

Under Situ Nan’s command, the hundred thousand disciples jointly unleashed a large-scale divine power, covering the entire hundred-thousand-mile illusionary battlefield.

A wave of strange powers quickly spread across the battlefield.

Soon, it reached the hidden locations of the Elder Council’s hundred thousand disciples.

The Elder Council tried various methods but couldn’t block this strange power.

At first, the Elder Council didn’t notice anything unusual.

But soon, all the Elder Council disciples showed odd expressions, looking visibly uncomfortable.

One disciple with the weakest cultivation couldn’t hold back any longer and let out a loud fart.

Immediately, the area was filled with an unusual aroma.

This aroma acted like a trigger, causing a series of farts from the Elder Council disciples, the sounds echoing loudly.

Various strange floral and fruity scents filled the air above the Elder Council disciples.

Xu Fan saw this and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Very good, very good, Zhou Kailing’s control over her divine power is getting more precise."

"Winning the battle without harming relations, I must reward her."

Then, the Hidden Spirit Sect used coordinated divine powers to locate the Elder Council’s position.

"Next time, I should suggest to Fifth Martial Uncle to release the aroma from a different place; using it like this always feels a bit odd to me," said a Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple with a sensitive nose.

The Hidden Spirit Sect found it strange, but the Elder Council experienced something even more bizarre.

Every so often, the entire camp would erupt in a series of uncontrollable fart sounds.

Although a variety of fragrances filled the area, it was easy to imagine the actual situation.

The participating Elder Council disciples felt a small crack deep within their hearts as they faced the battle.
