Chapter 893: Encryption Formation

“How much of your fighting strength does this clone have that you value it so much?” Avatar Number One asked, puzzled.

“It has 90% of my fighting strength. If I’m not careful when fighting it, I might end up getting beaten,” Xu Fan chuckled.

“Ninety percent fighting strength! Did your main body split the Soul Origin for this clone?” Avatar Number Two asked.

Xu Fan explained the unique properties of the Spirit Tree to him.

“So, we’ll have two more brothers in the future,” Avatar Number Two mused, stroking his chin. He had just finished refining a celestial tool accessory and wasn’t in a hurry.

“You’re overthinking it. The next one won’t come until a million years later.”

“And each person can only use it once.”

“There’s one in the initial stage, one in the mature stage, and one in the peak stage of the Spirit Tree,” Xu Fan explained.

“Does the other Spirit Tree in the middle thousand world have the same abilities?” Avatar Number One asked.

“No, that kind of bug isn’t something you can exploit.”

“With Number Three, the upgrade speed of Hidden Spirit Island will increase. Let’s work hard and aim to finish the upgrades within a hundred years,” Xu Fan said.

“That’s good. The sooner you go to the Immortal Realm, the sooner you can advance, and we can reach higher realms,” Avatar Number One replied.

In the underground space, Xu Fan and the other three avatars began working tirelessly to upgrade Hidden Spirit Island.

In the Yun Qiu Immortal Domain, inside a teahouse in a large city, Wang Xiangchi was having tea with a man.

“Brother, our master has created another clone. In one hundred years’ time, we’ll be able to meet again,” the man said with a cheerful smile.

Since Li Xingci had reached the invincible respected elder realm, he could use the Path of Reincarnation to possess a body and relay information to Wang Xiangchi in the distant Immortal Realm.

“That’s great! I can finally see master and all of you. How are my parents doing?” Wang Xiangchi asked excitedly.

“They’re doing well, traveling and fishing,” the man replied with a smile.

“As long as everything’s fine,” Wang Xiangchi said, though his eyes betrayed a hint of loneliness.

“What’s wrong, brother? Is sister-in-law not with you lately?” the man asked, noticing the look in Wang Xiangchi’s eyes.

“Dai’er has gone into seclusion to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. It’ll take at least a few thousand years.”

“I’m not even a Quasi-Immortal yet. I held her back in the past,” Wang Xiangchi said, his voice tinged with regret.

After Mu Dai entered seclusion, Wang Xiangchi found himself completely alone in the Immortal Realm, without friends or family.

“Brother, your cultivation progress is quite fast. I’m sure it won’t be long before you reach the Great Ascension stage again. There’s still plenty of time. As long as you stay by master’s side, our cultivation realms will improve eventually.”

“It’s like when I was with Tian’er. Back then, she was in the Core Formation stage, and I was suppressed for hundreds of years.”

“But look now—Tian’er is in the Great Ascension stage, and I’ve reached the invincible realm,” Li Xingci said with a laugh, a subtle sense of triumph hidden in his tone.

“Does having a higher cultivation mean you won’t be suppressed by your sister-in-law anymore?” Wang Xiangchi asked, giving Li Xingci a curious look. They had both grown up under their master’s guidance, and even though Wang Xiangchi had spent some time in the Immortal Realm, he still knew the sect’s dynamics well.

“It feels different,” the man chuckled.

“Brother, you need to work hard. Aim to reach the Golden Immortal realm within 50,000 years.”

Wang Xiangchi waved his hand. “Let’s meet up with you all first. 50,000 years is too long.”

“Next time we meet, come to the secret realm of celestial spirits I manage. Dai’er is in seclusion, so I’m in charge there for now.”

“Alright.”

After chatting with Wang Xiangchi for a while, the man returned to the Path of Reincarnation.

On the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, Wang Yulun and Xing were fishing.

Li Xingci appeared not far from them, standing on the lake’s surface.

“Here’s a letter from my brother~”

A beam of spiritual light shot towards Wang Yulun.

Wang Yulun caught the jade slip with his free hand and smiled at Li Xingci, saying, “Thanks! Care to join me for some fishing?”

His voice was warm and gentle, filled with hope.

“No, I have sect matters to attend to,” Li Xingci replied, then turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished.

Wang Yulun watched where Li Xingci had disappeared and couldn’t help but smile. Everything was moving in a positive direction.

“Godfather, you’re overcomplicating things. If you want him to call you father, I can just beat him up for you,” Xing said beside him, speaking in a naive tone.

“That’s not the way. You can’t just hit people. Besides, if he only submits because of your fists, it’s not genuine,” Wang Yulun shook his head, though a smile remained on his lips.

“Then let’s beat him until he’s sincere,” Xing said, waving his little fist.

“If you do that, Uncle Xu will be upset,” Wang Yulun smiled and replied, gazing at the lake. Just a word from Li Xingci could make his day.

Just then, the fishing rod dipped slightly, and another Tianhuan Pearl was reeled in, marked with the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty’s insignia.

Wang Yulun looked at the Tianhuan Pearl in his hand and then instructed Grape to activate a teleportation formation to the underground space.

“Hey, you caught this again!” Xu Fan, who was crafting artifacts, said with a smile.

“Yes, so I hurried over to share it with Big Brother Xu,” Wang Yulun replied.

“Good brother!”

Xu Fan sent out a clone to take over his current task.

He led Wang Yulun to a hidden small world.

“Alright, let’s open it and see,” Xu Fan said eagerly, still impressed by the grandeur of the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty from last time.

Wang Yulun nodded and began to channel spiritual energy into the Tianhuan Pearl but soon realized he couldn’t open it.

“Big Brother Xu, can you take a look? Why can’t I open this?” Wang Yulun handed the Tianhuan Pearl to Xu Fan.

“It’s encrypted; let me crack it,” Xu Fan said, examining the encryption formation with ease.

Could a simple encryption formation stump him, a great master of formations?

An hour later, Xu Fan also felt a bit awkward.

“This encryption formation is quite tricky; it actually stumped me.”

“Yulun, give me two more hours, and then we’ll see what’s inside this encrypted Tianhuan Pearl together,” Xu Fan said.

Three days later, Xu Fan sighed in relief; he had finally cracked the encryption formation.

A large light curtain appeared a short distance away from the two.

“Although it took a bit longer, I believe the content inside is definitely worth it,” Xu Fan told Wang Yulun beside him.

At that moment, the light curtain displayed a small world attached to the Immortal Realm, similar to the one where Shi Zhan had been.

“If I guessed correctly, this should be related to events before the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty,” Xu Fan remarked, looking at the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty engraving on the Tianhuan Pearl.

The perspective from the light curtain projected into that small world in the Immortal Realm, where a man in battle armor, somewhat resembling Wang Xiangchi in the Core Formation stage, emerged.

He led a man and a woman, escaping through a broken realm into the Immortal Realm.
