Chapter 908: Bad Habits

“Thank you, dear friends, for coming to see us off!”

“If fate allows, we’ll meet again in the Immortal Realm, and I’ll treat you all to tea,” Xu Fan said to the guests who had gathered for the farewell ceremony.

“After the sect departs, the Hidden Spirit Sect will leave its inheritance here. I kindly ask for your support in nurturing the newly established Hidden Spirit Sect.”

“Mountains and rivers will bring us together again; until we meet in the Immortal Realm.”

Hidden Spirit Island slowly ascended, then with a sudden burst of speed, performed a space jump and vanished from the Feiyu Realm.

At that moment, millions of puppets below the Core Formation stage appeared.

Guided by a spirit, they began constructing a new Hidden Spirit Island.

Countless small islands were drawn together by the puppets, merging to recreate the form of Hidden Spirit Island.

Soon after, tens of thousands of Large Spiritual Boats emerged from the void, piloted by the puppets as they headed toward Lin Sen Fairy City to recruit qualified Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples across the entire fairy city.

This was the inheritance Xu Fan had promised Ming Kong would remain.

Initially, Ti Zi sought opinions from all outer disciples, asking if anyone was willing to stay in the Feiyu Realm to lead the sect.

However, no one volunteered, so Xu Fan had no choice but to create an artifact-level spirit to oversee a fully automated sect system.

Under the spirit’s guidance, it would recruit disciples for the Hidden Spirit Sect and select the most talented individuals based on the established system, gradually taking control of the sect.

To ensure the sect’s smooth development, Xu Fan also left behind a vast amount of cultivation resources, enough to sustain the new disciples for thousands of years.

As long as no enemies of Ming Kong’s caliber appeared, the sect could thrive for ten thousand years.

The visitors from various holy grounds had come not only to bid farewell but also to meet the person who would manage the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Feiyu Realm.

To their surprise, only a spirit remained to handle the sect’s affairs, leaving many disappointed as they departed.

A month later, Large Spiritual Boats began returning to the new Hidden Spirit Island.

The boats docked at the island, and under the puppets’ guidance, groups of children disembarked.

There were both boys and girls, ranging from six to twelve years old.

Clad in the Daoist robes of the Hidden Spirit Sect, they looked excited as they arrived at their new home.

The new Hidden Spirit Sect began to rise in the Feiyu Realm, though due to the first generation’s habit of ascending to the Immortal Realm, each subsequent generation developed a unique tradition that irked the Heavenly Dao of the Feiyu Realm.

…………

On Hidden Spirit Island in the star region, all the high-ranking members of the sect gathered.

A group of elders sipped tea leisurely by the spiritual liquid lake.

Wang Yulun passed the time by fishing at the lake.

Xu Gang and Xu Lingtai delved into the particle East Wind Divine Technique together, while a graceful lady watched them with a gentle smile.

Xu Yuexian played with a White Dragon, keeping a wary eye on the little girl named Xing in the distance.

Li Xingci and Su Rantian enjoyed tea while discussing Spirit Cut.

Zhou Kailing gazed thoughtfully at the galaxy within the star region.

Sha Diao and Xu Fan’s named disciple, Zhang Daqi, were discussing artifact crafting. The occasional sighs from Sha Diao made it clear to outsiders that he was dissatisfied with his current level of skill in artifact crafting.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan was playing a game of Go with an iron-eating beast.

“Master, I lost,” the iron-eating beast said with a sigh. “You’re good at everything, but you always drag me into these chess games.”

This was the little iron-eating beast Xu Fan had taken in as a disciple, now at the Nascent Soul Stage in cultivation.

“Cultivation isn’t just about building muscles; it’s about sharpening your mind too. Otherwise, you’ll just end up being a big, tough target with no brains,” Xu Fan said with a laugh, standing up and ruffling the glossy fur on the iron-eating beast’s large head.

As Hidden Spirit Island entered the star region, the entire sect relaxed under Xu Fan’s guidance, almost like they were on a leisurely road trip.

“Grape, notify all disciples that in ten days, there will be a teaching session at the main peak’s training ground,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Understood,” Grape replied.

According to Grape’s calculations, it would take Hidden Spirit Island 60 years to reach the Immortal Realm at full speed, assuming no unexpected events occurred along the way.

“Master, the navigation route passes near the Chaotic Star Region. Should we make a stop there?” Grape asked.

“Let’s stop for a while. I want to check on my old friends in the Chaotic Star Region, and I’m curious about that little spider. I wonder if it’s still alive or if it’s been wiped out by other forces,” Xu Fan said lightly, glancing at the star region outside the transparent protective shield.

On the plains behind the main peak, Xu Fan treated the entire sect to a massive barbecue feast.

In the Source Realm, there was a special small world dedicated to raising high-quality spirit beasts for the sect’s daily needs.

On the plains behind the main peak, Xu Fan showcased his skills by preparing to roast a million skewers at once.

Over ten thousand Spirit Goats were quickly and painlessly slaughtered, their meat cut into uniform chunks and skewered onto bamboo sticks made from spirit bamboo.

One million skewers of mutton were prepared in no time, and spirit fire appeared in the area, evenly heating the million skewers.

With a sprinkle of spices and seasonings, the hundred thousand carefully roasted skewers of mutton were soon ready to eat.

The skewers formed a long river, flowing through the plains, and anyone could simply grab one and enjoy.

Xu Fan held a skewer of mutton in one hand and a cold beer in the other, happily munching away.

Feeling in high spirits, he later asked the Gourmet Disciple to prepare a variety of delicacies for everyone to share.

Just then, Grape reported that a newly formed small world had been detected in the star region.

“Don’t worry about it for now; just mark the coordinates. We can come back later if needed,” Xu Fan said, taking a sip of beer.

“Understood,” Grape replied.

Xu Fan then looked up at the simulated sun created by Hidden Spirit Island and said with a smile, “Grape, switch to night mode and let’s have a fireworks show.”

The entire Hidden Spirit Island was plunged into darkness as a bright moon slowly rose.

A light sphere rose from the ground, soared to the highest point, and burst into a dazzling array of colors that lit up the entire island.

The disciples cheered as the fireworks lit up the sky.

“May our sect endure forever! May heaven and earth unite in sanctity!”

“May our sect stand strong for millennia, commanding respect across the Three Thousand Realms!”

“The River of Time will not erase our legacy; Hidden Spirit Island will last forever!”

As the colorful fireworks exploded in the sky, the sect’s disciples spontaneously voiced their blessings.

For them, as long as the sect existed, they had a home.

Watching the disciples send their blessings, Xu Fan smiled warmly.

While the entire sect was celebrating, Grape detected a massive fleet of immortal ships approaching from a distance. Based on their speeds and trajectories, the two would collide in one hour.

Seeing the warm and joyful scene of the sect, Grape hesitated to disturb Xu Fan and instead sent a message to the fleet of immortal ships.

“Please change your course; you are in the navigation path of my sect.”

“If you do not move aside in time, my sect will take decisive action to eliminate you.”
