Chapter 264 - 241: Forced Melon Isn’t Sweet_2
If you don’t understand external affairs, check the manual; if you don’t understand internal affairs, ask the grapevine.
Yes, all external disciples of the Hidden Spirit Gate have the privilege to consult with the grapevine.
At one point, Xu Fan wanted to close this feature, but he couldn’t find a good reason to do so, and in the end, he let the matter drop.
Hidden Spirit Island, next to the Spirit Liquid Lake.
Xu Fan brought a lounge chair and sat next to the Tianji Turtle.
Ever since the Sect’s Grand Formation loaded the upgrade of the Gathering Spirits Array to a Dao Tool, this Tianji Turtle had become more active. It might have been due to the purity of the spiritual qi being too much for the turtle to handle.
By chance, Xu Fan stayed by the Tianji Turtle for a while and found that staying by its side gave him a sense of serene tranquility, even time seemed to speed up.
Often, a thought would just cross Xu Fan’s mind, only to find that it was already dark.
“Old turtle, I did some research, and it seems that your Tianji Turtles have an infinite lifespan, facing danger only when going through the Ascending Great Tribulation.’
“Out of ten Tianji Turtles, only one or two can survive the tribulation.”
“So 1 spent my leisure time devising a cultivation technique for you to strengthen the defense of your shell.”
Xu Fan took out a Jade Slip and used his spiritual power to control it, placing it in front of the Tianji Turtle.
“Looking at your appearance, you are still young. Don’t be so lazy. If not, how will you be the auspicious beast of the Hidden Spirit Gate in my Great Thousand World?” Xu Fan said with a smile.
The Tianji Turtle looked at the Jade Slip in front of it, slowly got up, and continued lying down in a different direction.
How bored do you have to be to bother a turtle? Can’t I just sit in peace?
“Stop pretending, all of you auspicious beasts are naturally intelligent. Don’t think 1 don’t know.” Xu Fan said, looking at the Tianji Turtle that had shifted its position.
‘Boom~.’
A spiritual energy bubble was spit out by the Tianji Turtle, then slowly fell to the ground and rolled away.
Xu Fan looked at the rolling bubble and then at the Tianji Turtle and said: “Well done, Tianji Turtle. I kindly recommended a technique for you, but not only were you ungrateful, but you also told me to scram.”
“You’ve crossed the line.’
The Tianji Turtle slowly got up and slowly walked towards the Spirit Liquid Lake without looking back.
“What’s with this attitude?” Xu Fan grumbled.
Xu Fan decided that the next time he saw the Tianji Turtle, he would let it know who the master of the Hidden Spirit Island is.
At this moment, two deer ran past Xu Fan, hopping and jumping. The Cloud Flower Deer even turned back and snickered at Xu Fan.
“Hmmm Hmmm’
Xu Fan understood what was implied.
“Why can’t I chat with the turtle?” Xu Fan said as he watched the deer running away.
At this moment, a light streaked across the sky, and Xu Gang landed not far from Xu Fan.
“Master, you’re not refining artifacts anymore.” Xu Gang asked.
“I just completed one, now I’m breathing deeply to clear my mind.” Xu Fan looked at Xu Gang, who had a spring breeze on his face. He examined him closely and knew that his naive disciple had come to show off again.
“Tell me, which series of divine skills you have comprehended.” Xu Fan smiled and said.
“Golden Crow Incarnation.” Xu Gang touched his head and said sheepishly, just like a kid who received a perfect score showing off to his parents.
“Yo, well done, you finally realized your fire attribute divine abilities.” “Let’s go, let’s try your skills above One Hundred Thousand Mile Huge Lake.” Xu Fan waved his hand and a spirit boat appeared in front of the two.
Above the Hundred Thousand Mile Huge Lake, Xu Gang stood in mid-air, and the thousand-hand illusion behind him was nearly a hundred meters high.
Xu Fan looked at the power radiating from Xu Gang and nodded approvingly, then sent a message to Xu Yuexian.
“Come take your big brother away, it’s time for a walk.”
Xu Fan knew Xu Gang’s potential well. The fact that he could reach such a stage proved that in these years, Xu Gang had been practicing consistently, without a day off.
This Golden Crow Incarnation divine skill was estimated to take his naive pupil at least 10 to 20 years to comprehend, even with the acceleration of the decomposition of the origin of Fire, it would still take this long.
With the Thousand-Hand Illusion behind Xu Gang speeding up its spells, all the fire attribute spiritual energy within a thousand mile radius converged on him.
“Chirp”
With a long cry, the fire attribute spiritual energy surrounding Xu Gang boiled instantly and a golden crow with a wingspan of several miles appeared between heaven and earth.
Like a king reborn in fire, even the Tianyang Star in the sky seemed a bit dimmer.
“When this big move is released, I guess the God Transformation Stage powerhouses within its core range will be obliterated in an instant.” Xu Fan said while looking at the Golden Crow that is as bright as the sun.
“Order the Golden Crow to attack me.” Xu Fan said.
With Xu Gangs Thousand-Hand Illusion casting spells, the Golden Crow turned into a stream of flames in an instant and rushed towards Xu Fan.
At this moment, Xu Fan felt like a tiny ant facing a gigantic tidal wave.
Now, a Nascent Soul Puppet appeared beside Xu Fan, quickly casting spells. In no time, the entire Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake began to stir.
‘Boom~.’
Nine Ice Crystal Dragons erupted from the lake, directly encircling the Golden Crow that was attacking Xu Fan.
An aura capable of freezing time and space exploded from the giant dragons. In an instant, the river of flame was frozen midair.
Xu Gang, filled with excitement, came to Xu Fan’s side. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the Golden Crow trapped in ice and the flame river it had created.
“Master, can a Nascent Soul Stage puppet cast this power?” Xu Gang asked, looking at the Nascent Soul Puppet beside Xu Fan. He knew his master would always use a puppet corresponding to the level of spells he cast.
“Yes, the Nascent Soul Stage can cast it.” said Xu Fan.
“Tell me what you think of this power,” Xu Fan asked. “Master is powerful, I want to learn,” Xu Gang said.
“Have you any other thoughts besides this?”
“Nothing else.”
“Well… ‘ sighed Xu Fan, he directly told Xu Gang, “Once you learn this spell, there are stronger spells of the same level waiting for you.”
“You can never finish learning these spells.”
“You should set a goal for yourself, and when you reach it, you should take a rest.
“Have you been cultivating all the time since you returned to the sect?” Xu Fan asked.
“Not all the time, I also teach Lingtai and spend time with Xiao Xi occasionally,” Xu Gang replied.
“One hour is not really spending time with them,” Xu Fan rolled his eyes at Xu Gang and said.
“‘I’ve already sent a message to your sister. After you return, you should take Xiao Xi and your sister out,” Xu Fan continued.
“The path to immortality is long and it’s dull to just cultivate.” “There should be a balance between work and rest in cultivation.’ “You can take Xiao Xi and go out for a while,” Xu Fan said.
“Understood,” Xu Gang said with a reluctant face.
At this time, Wang Xiangchi flew over.
“Greetings, Master.”
“Congratulations, Senior Brother, for attaining a supreme divine ability,” Wang Xiangchi said.
“Haha, no matter how powerful the divine ability is, it cannot compete with one of Master’s fingers,” Xu Gang said.
“You seem ready to go out,” Xu Fan said, looking at a fully armed Wang Xiangchi.
“I’m going to see my students. WuJi wants to meet me,” Wang Xiangchi said.
“Go, be careful,” Xu Fan said as he established two detailed profiles of disciples in the database and then paid careful attention to them, so that he would not one day lose track of his silly disciples.
“Alright, goodbye Master, goodbye Senior Brother,” Wang Xiangchi turned into a sword light and flew towards Linsen Immortal City.
“Okay, you can go and prepare,” Xu Fan said to Xu Gang.
After Xu Gang left, Xu Fan caught a glimpse of Su Rentian fishing on a giant ship in the distance.
“Elder Su, it’s quite a hobby. When did you start liking fishing?” Xu Fan asked.
“The first year your disciple didn’t reply to my messages,” Su Rentian said indifferently.
“It’s possible that he entered a Secret Realm Holy Land or somewhere similar,” Xu Fan said with a dry laugh. It’s not my fault if my disciple doesn’t reply to your messages.
“l have enhanced the privileges of Star Ci’s communication talisman, so he can reply to my messages at any time, even in a Secret Realm Holy Land,” Su Rentian said, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.
“Could he have left the Central Continent for another realm?” Xu Fan suggested.
“l was afraid that Star Ci was in trouble, so 1 used my privileges to check. He’s still in the Central Continent.’
I wish we could have a proper chat.
“If he won’t come, you could go and find him~, ” Xu Fan said.
“A gourd forcefully twisted is not sweet,” Su Rentian said with a trace of sorrow.
“But a gourd one likes should not be given away to others. If it were me, even if it’s not sweet, it would still stay in my palm,” Xu Fan blurted out without thinking.
Su Rentian was startled, then turned into a streak of light, flying towards Linsen Immortal City.
“The words of Great Elder make sense,” Su Rentian’s voice had a hint of enlightenment, like a cloud revealing the moon.
“I think I just said the wrong thing,” Xu Fan murmured as he watched the distant streak of light..
