Chapter 857: The Effect of the Affinity Pearl

Wang Xiangchi walked away, feeling a bit disappointed.

He had hoped to speak a few more words to his wife from his dreams, but unfortunately, he received some rather bad news.

After returning to his cave dwelling, Wang Xiangchi decided to tidy up and start his seclusion for cultivation.

At that moment, his good disciple Han Feiyu came to pay his respects.

"Master, should we team up and go to the Star Realm for the trial?" Han Feiyu invited, as he had missed the first wave a few months ago while practicing a sword formation secret technique.

"You go ahead; I need to enter seclusion for cultivation," Wang Xiangchi waved his hand and replied.

Seeing the expression on Wang Xiangchi’s face, Han Feiyu knew that his master was in a bad mood.

"Master, if you’re facing a cultivation bottleneck, perhaps taking a stroll outside will bring you new insights," Han Feiyu advised.

"If you’re feeling down, it’s even more reason to go out for a walk."

Wang Xiangchi thought for a moment, then stood up and flew with Han Feiyu towards the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation.

While flying, the two chatted, and Wang Xiangchi shared his concerns with Han Feiyu.

"Master, are you worried you won’t be worthy of your future wife?"

"I don’t think there’s any need to worry. With Master Ancestor around, the bond between you and your wife will surely end perfectly," Han Feiyu said confidently.

In his heart, Han Feiyu added: not only do you have Master Ancestor, but you also have me; even if you want to marry the most supreme existence in the future, you can do it.

At this moment, Han Feiyu, enhanced by the presence of the Tree of All Things, felt like he had upgraded significantly.

According to secret statistics from the grapevine, Han Feiyu alone had invested over ten million Immortal Jade into the Tree of All Things.

Now, his swordsmanship talent was at its peak, and his techniques and methods were top-notch, combined with over a hundred celestial tool Spiritual Swords at his side—he dared say he was invincible among peers, except for Master Ancestor.

However, he kept all of this hidden.

Though feeling proud, he remembered to remain low-key.

At this rate, there was no one his master couldn’t marry.

"Haha, you sound just like your Master Ancestor when you speak."

"I’m only feeling down because I can’t see your future wife," Wang Xiangchi laughed.

Just then, a figure caught up with them.

"Xiangchi, wait a moment; take this," Wang Yulun said, placing an Affinity Pearl into Wang Xiangchi’s hand.

“Dad, where did you get so many affinity stones?” Wang Xiangchi asked, looking at the Affinity Pearl in his hand.

"I just caught another one. I figured only you could use it, so I hurried to bring it to you," Wang Yulun said with a smile.

Before Wang Xiangchi could reply, Wang Yulun left.

"Master, if I’m not mistaken, this must be the top-tier affinity stone; ‘a thousand-mile bond tied by a single thread’."

"I heard that the highest quality affinity stones even have the chance to connect across two realms," Han Feiyu said, looking at the Affinity Pearl in Wang Xiangchi’s hand.

"You’re right. It’s because of this affinity stone that I met your future wife in a dream."

"I wonder if having this Affinity Pearl will enhance the effects and allow me to meet your future wife in my dreams again," Wang Xiangchi said, filled with hope.

Hearing Wang Xiangchi’s words, Han Feiyu thought for a moment and then took out two Affinity Pearls that were the same size as the one in Wang Xiangchi’s hand.

"Master, take these two as well. They might help you meet your future wife sooner," Han Feiyu said with a smile.

Wang Xiangchi looked at the two Affinity Pearls, didn’t ask where they came from, and took them in his hand, starting to hold all three top-tier Affinity Pearls.

Compared to his father’s knack for catching anything, he thought his disciple’s jade gourd was even more impressive.

"You’re very thoughtful!"

"It’s only right for a disciple to honor his master!"

As they spoke, the two stepped onto the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation and teleported to the Star Realm.

Just as they completed the teleportation, Xu Fan suddenly looked toward the direction of the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation.

Xu Fan frowned slightly, murmuring, "Something feels off."

Then his expression changed as he immediately activated his consciousness calculation technique.

At that moment, in the Star Realm, Han Feiyu circled around the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Formation repeatedly.

"Master, don’t joke with me; come out quickly," Han Feiyu’s consciousness swept over the area of the teleportation formation again and again, but he couldn’t find Wang Xiangchi’s figure.

"Could it be that the Affinity Pearls are too powerful and teleported Master directly to his future wife?" Han Feiyu speculated aloud.

"Han Feiyu, the Grand Elder has summoned you; please come back quickly," the voice of Grapevine echoed.

At this moment, Han Feiyu realized that something was amiss.

In the courtyard, Han Feiyu stood respectfully not far from Xu Fan.

"Master Ancestor, where is my Master now?" Han Feiyu asked with concern.

"Because of the effects of those two Affinity Pearls you gave him, it seems your Master was teleported directly to your future wife," Xu Fan sighed and said.

"Please don’t say he’s in an unknown middle thousand world," Han Feiyu asked nervously. If that were the case, he would have made things worse despite his good intentions.

"It’s likely he was sent to the Immortal Realm; it might take a thousand years before you see your Master again,” Xu Fan said.

"Master Ancestor, I was wrong; I shouldn’t have given him that Affinity Pearl."

"The Immortal Realm is so dangerous, and Master is just a swordsman at the Great Ascension stage," Han Feiyu felt guilty.

"Don’t worry; your Master’s ancestral genes are quite strong. Even if he ends up in the Immortal Realm, he should be fine," Xu Fan reassured him after figuring out the situation.

Knowing his master was safe, Han Feiyu prepared to take his leave from Xu Fan.

As he was about to leave, Xu Fan called out to him.

"Recently, you’ve been feeding the Tree of All Things a bit too much. You should refrain from visiting for a while to let it digest," Xu Fan said with a strange expression; this was the feedback he had received from the Tree of All Things lately.

"Ah… the Tree of All Things won’t break down, will it?" Han Feiyu asked worriedly.

"How could an ancient wonder break so easily? It’s just a bit greedy, which is causing it some digestive issues."

"Wait six months before you return so it can digest and grow for a while," Xu Fan instructed.

"Understood, Master Ancestor."

Han Feiyu left, and Wang Yulun approached again.

"What’s wrong with Xiangchi?" Wang Yulun asked anxiously.

"Your precious son went to find his wife; you probably won’t see him for a while," Xu Fan said.

"But my future daughter-in-law is almost a Golden Immortal; how could he go find her?" Wang Yulun questioned.

"Because you gave your son an Affinity Pearl. His disciple is also filial and gave him two Affinity Pearls of the same level. Combined, their power is too great; they were supposed to teleport to the Star Realm, but they ended up precisely in the area of your daughter-in-law in the Immortal Realm," Xu Fan explained with a smile.

Though this sounded a bit far-fetched, his good friend was even more absurd.

"If I had known Xiangchi was leaving, I would have given him more Immortal Jade; it costs money to find a daughter-in-law," Wang Yulun said regretfully.
