Chapter 925: "Three Thousand Paths"

“Let’s take a stroll around the fairy city first, relax a bit, and then get to work.”

“The Immortal Jade provided by the main body isn’t much, but it’s enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a while,” said avatar number one with a slight smile.

“Then let’s head to the Tianxuan District~” Avatar number two said with a meaningful grin.

“Let’s go~”

A month later, if it weren’t for Xu Fan’s warning, avatars number one and two could have stretched their leisure time even further.

On the first day, avatar number one walked into the Artifact Master Alliance.

“Friend, what level of artifact master certification are you seeking?” a friendly little supervisor with Quasi-Immortal cultivation approached avatar number one with a smile.

“I want to be certified as an artifact great master, the highest tier,” avatar number one declared, exuding a confidence that overwhelmed everyone in the hall.

“Friend, to be directly certified as a heavenly-tier artifact great master, you’ll need to present a celestial tool you’ve refined. As long as it meets the grade, you can proceed with the certification,” the little supervisor said respectfully, thinking to himself that the alliance was about to gain another artifact great master.

Avatar number one pulled out an Immortal Sword and handed it to the little supervisor.

“Hurry up, I’m on a tight schedule~”

After sensing that the aura of the Immortal Sword matched avatar number one’s, the little supervisor grew excited and escorted him into the top-tier certification room.

If a heavenly-tier artifact great master truly emerged, it would cause quite a stir in the Artifact Master Alliance.

Though Star Moon City had many artifact great masters, only a handful were at the top tier, making them rarer than Golden Immortals.

At that moment, several well-informed major powers caught wind that an artifact great master was undergoing heavenly-tier certification in the Artifact Master Alliance.

In a lavishly decorated palace, avatar number one gazed at the spirit ores before him, feeling a bit restless.

Honestly, this was his first time encountering such top-tier spirit ores, far superior to the lower-grade ones from the Feiyu Realm.

“Holy Sun Divine Iron, Void Thunder Golden Sand, Xuanhuang Stone… Please use these spirit ores to refine a top-notch celestial tool.”

“A Holy Thunder Sword would be the most fitting, but do you have a Time Acceleration Formation here?”

“This Holy Thunder Sword will take at least 10 years to refine,” avatar number one inquired.

“The Time Acceleration Formation is active; one day outside equals five years inside the hall,” an elder’s voice echoed, filled with anticipation.

“Then let’s begin~” Avatar number one waved his hand gently, and a ball of Phoenix Divine Fire appeared in his palm.

A celestial tool furnace materialized shortly after.

Two days later, news spread across Star Moon City.

The Artifact Master Alliance had gained another heavenly-tier artifact great master, and more impressively, his formation skills were also at the heavenly-tier great master level.

In an instant, the Artifact Master Alliance was flooded with representatives from various major powers, all eager to meet this dual-expertise artifact master.

It was known that he had the potential to ascend to the status of Divine Craftsman, a position even Great Luo Saints would treat with respect.

Among those waiting in the Artifact Master Alliance were two Golden Immortals.

“Everyone, please remain calm. The great master has announced that he’ll be accepting top-tier celestial tool orders in the alliance soon, without the need for queuing. As long as the price satisfies him, he’ll take the order,” the little supervisor who had initially greeted avatar number one informed the gathered representatives.

“The great master also stated that he’ll remain neutral, not joining any faction, and won’t meet or accept gifts. Simply present your spirit ores, the required celestial tools, and the compensation. If it’s suitable, he’ll accept it—no meetings in between.”

Hearing this, many representatives from major powers breathed a sigh of relief. They had come with tasks to fulfill, and if others secured the great master’s favor while they failed, they’d at least be blamed for poor performance.

Now, everything is balanced as everyone is on the same level.

As a result, the artifact orders in the Artifact Master Alliance suddenly surged, with increasingly attractive rewards.

But not long after, another piece of news swept across Star Moon City.

The Artifact Master Alliance certified another heavenly tier artifact great master, whose formation skills were also at the heavenly tier great master level.

Two top artifact great masters emerged in total, even stirring the interest of the Great Luo Saints, who wanted to establish a good connection.

However, the whereabouts of these two top artifact great masters remained mysterious, and no forces could locate them.

The Artifact Master Alliance also kept tight-lipped about their movements.

This left many Golden Immortals and present Great Luo Saints somewhat disappointed, but it was soon followed by an influx of more orders.

In a small world dedicated to crafting celestial tools within the Artifact Master Alliance,

avatars number one and two were selecting suitable orders together.

“I looked through these orders, and I suddenly feel that 20 million Immortal Jade isn’t such a big deal,” avatar number two said while stroking his chin.

The orders that tempted him required at least 100,000 Immortal Jade as a handling fee, not to mention the additional spirit ores.

Completing an order would yield at least 300,000 to 500,000 Immortal Jade.

“I feel like I came to the right place; I can see various spirit ores, which is a great help in improving my artifact crafting skills,” avatar number one said, smiling at the orders.

“What’s the use of improving? Isn’t it just going back to work for the main body?”

“If I want to advance to a Divine Craftsman later, I have to wait until I become a Golden Immortal,” avatar number two remarked lazily.

They first accepted a few small orders to practice, and feeling confident, they began to clear the orders from easy to difficult.

During this time, the high-quality celestial tools completed and delivered to the ordering cultivators received unanimous praise.

These two top artifact great masters in Star Moon City suddenly gained fame, attracting true immortals and Golden Immortals from the Star Yuexian Domain and even beyond to place orders.

Some even offered a price of 500,000 Immortal Jade just to have a meal with the two artifact great masters for a chance to make their acquaintance, but unfortunately, they were unable to fulfill that wish.

On Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan was in cultivation.

The virtual image of the Three Thousand Paths Compass appeared behind Xu Fan and began to slowly rotate.

Every year or so, one of its sections would light up.

Twenty years later, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes.

“Three Thousand Paths, let’s cultivate slowly,” Xu Fan said with an indifferent expression.

To pass the time, Xu Fan created what might be the most complex and difficult technique in the cultivation world.

The technique was named “Three Thousand Paths.”

As soon as this technique entered the Sutra Pavilion, it was immediately regarded as a treasured possession by Zhang Xueling.

He held the jade plate containing the technique without ever putting it down.

“Among the three hundred paths, one can become an immortal; besides the Grand Elder, who else could practice this reverse cultivation technique?” Zhang Xueling sighed, clutching the jade butterfly.

Ever since receiving the jade plate for this technique, Zhang Xueling had made several resolutions but had yet to muster the courage to disperse his powers and cultivate this technique.

He had been pondering over the jade plate so much that he was on the verge of becoming obsessed.

Xu Fan walked out of the cultivation room, looking at the bustling Hidden Spirit Island, and couldn’t help but smile.

During these 20 years, half of the disciples on Hidden Spirit Island had awakened from their enlightenment, with nearly half of them directly absorbing celestial energy and achieving Quasi-Immortal status.
