Chapter 993: Can’t I Have a Soft Life for the Sect?

“You’re overthinking it; not all the good things in the world can fall into your lap,” Xu Fan teased, his voice echoing in Han Feiyu’s ear.

“Master Ancestor, you’re right,” Han Feiyu replied, sounding a bit down.

Meanwhile, the story continued.

Soon, other beings above Great Luo from various races arrived at Hidden Spirit Island.

The world began to crumble, and Han Feiyu stepped out from the door of fate.

“The scenes beyond this are too much for my power of fate to handle, but you can probably guess what happens.”

“Using something without limits always comes with a price,” Xu Fan said.

“Master Ancestor, I have a question. If the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Immortal Realm wants to take the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure from me, why haven’t they acted yet?” Han Feiyu asked, puzzled.

“Because you haven’t crossed a certain threshold. If you were only using it for yourself, you’d never reach that point.”

“As you grow stronger, that threshold will keep rising until you become a Powerful Being that even the Heavenly Way’s Will can’t control.”

“And this threshold is set by the elusive Path of Fate. You’ll understand once you reach that level,” Xu Fan explained.

Did he covet his disciple’s treasure? Absolutely. He not only coveted it but craved it.

But whenever this thought crossed his mind, the Path of Fate he cultivated would intervene to stop him.

“So, you need to understand—it’s not that I don’t want to use it, but using it would only bring temporary satisfaction, and in the end, it would slip away,” Xu Fan said, pointing to the sky.

“Master Ancestor, in that world, I saw you suppress ten Great Luo Saints with just your Golden Immortal power. Is that true?” Han Feiyu asked, his eyes shining with admiration as he looked at Xu Fan.

In the world of fate, Xu Fan had effortlessly subdued ten human Great Luo Saints and even challenged beings above Great Luo. That moment struck Han Feiyu to his core, sending shivers through his soul.

At that instant, Xu Fan became the light of his life.

“What’s the big deal? Once I reach Golden Immortal, no number of Great Luo Saints will be a match for me,” Xu Fan said with a chuckle.

“Master Ancestor, since I have the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, why can’t I become someone like you?” Han Feiyu asked, sounding a bit regretful.

“Do you really wish you had my talents?” Xu Fan asked, grinning at Han Feiyu.

Han Feiyu nodded eagerly.

“Well, do you think I’d like to have the treasure you carry?”

Han Feiyu thought for a moment and nodded again.

“Master Ancestor, if you want it, I’ll lend it to you—just be careful not to exceed the limits,” Han Feiyu offered generously.

“But here’s the thing—you can’t have my talents, and I can’t have your treasure. Even if you lend it to me, trouble could still follow.”

“The Path of Cause and Effect isn’t as simple as you think. Like I said, you can’t have all the good things for yourself.”

As Xu Fan spoke, he led Han Feiyu out of the Source Realm and into his courtyard.

“Your 5.1 billion Immortal Jade will later be refined into Postnatal Spiritual Treasures or even Primal Spiritual Treasures of equal value for you,” Xu Fan said.

“Those are small matters. As long as Master Ancestor continues to guide me in the future, that’s all I need,” Han Feiyu said respectfully.

“Isn’t that my job?”

“When you’re not in the sect, which lesson didn’t take you into the Mystical World?” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Master Ancestor, I’m going to check on my master and then contribute some Immortal Jade to the sect,” Han Feiyu said respectfully before taking his leave.

At that moment, in the Source Realm, the special teleportation formation began to glow as disciples who had fallen in battle started to emerge one by one.

“All revived disciples are forbidden from leaving the sect’s Door of Void Realm until they reach the peak of true immortal cultivation,” Grape’s message echoed in their minds.

Xu Gang, Xiong Li, and Zhang Xueling stepped out of the teleportation formation, their expressions grim.

“I was just chopping wood, and then suddenly I was dead,” Xiong Li muttered, clearly frustrated.

“It’s not just us. A lot of our brothers died too,” Zhang Xueling added.

“The frontlines erupted into a battle involving Great Luo Sages. Many of our brothers stationed there were caught in the crossfire,” Zhang Xueling sighed.

The human race had suffered heavy losses, but the Wood Origin tribe had been nearly wiped out.

“Where did the sect get the Immortal Jade to revive us?” Xu Gang asked, glancing at the list of revived disciples.

“No idea, but we need to earn more Immortal Jade to help the sect pay off its debts,” Zhang Xueling replied.

“Too bad we can’t leave the area covered by the sect’s Door of Void Realm. Otherwise, I’d go back to chopping wood,” Xiong Li said regretfully.

Over the following months, Han Feiyu regularly contributed 100 to 200 million Immortal Jade to the sect’s River of Time.

As more and more disciples were revived, they learned about the massive debts the sect had incurred to bring them back. Determined to help, they began taking on missions, treasure hunts, and exploring secret realms within the sect’s Immortal Realm boundaries.

“Master, in the past year alone, the disciples have deposited 8 million Immortal Jade into the vault,” Grape reported.

“They’ve all volunteered to donate to the sect to help pay off the debts.”

“Who leaked the news about the debts?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

“The revived disciples started speculating, and Xu Gang confirmed it,” Grape explained.

“Let them be. Consider it their way of saving up,” Xu Fan said, feeling a sense of pride.

Just then, Xu Fan received a message from his good brother, Wang Yulun, asking him to come to the giant lake.

Xu Fan stepped out and appeared directly on the small boat where Wang Yulun was fishing.

“Big Brother Xu, I heard the sect’s been short on Immortal Jade lately, so I asked my sister-in-law for some,” Wang Yulun said, his expression slightly awkward.

A space ring floated toward Xu Fan. He took it and was surprised to find 300 million Immortal Jade inside.

“Send it back. We’ve already gathered enough Immortal Jade,” Xu Fan said, touched but firm.

“I don’t want you to feel like you have to rely on me,” he added, looking at the space ring.

This was like a brother-in-law asking his sister-in-law for money—about as soft as it gets.

“Since you’ve already gotten it, Big Brother Xu, just keep it for yourself,” Wang Yulun insisted.

“If I’m not selling myself out for the sect, I shouldn’t have to rely on you either,” he said firmly.

“If you don’t take this Immortal Jade, it means you don’t see me as a brother,” Wang Yulun added, his words heartfelt.

Hearing this, Xu Fan felt a pang of emotion.

“Alright, I’ll accept the Immortal Jade,” Xu Fan said.

“When your harem is fully established, I’ll make sure you never have to rely on anyone again,” Xu Fan declared with determination.

“That sounds a bit odd, but I know you mean well, Big Brother Xu,” Wang Yulun replied.

“This amount of Immortal Jade might not be enough to revive all the fallen disciples, but we’ll bring back as many as we can,” Wang Yulun said.
