Chapter 182 - 182: Sect Grand Competition
“What are your plans for the future?” Xu Fan casually asked.
“l want to travel around the Cultivation World and make plans afterward. After all, I’ve just arrived in this realm, and everything here is still quite unfamiliar to me.” Feng Changning said.
Xu Fan nodded, which was a reasonable course of action for normal people. However, Xu Fan suspected that the girl wasn’t here to travel but to scout out a place with a uniquely advantageous location to stage a rebellion.
“You should indeed, but before you go, you’d better conceal your facial features and destiny.” Xu Fan said, sensing the increasingly explosive imperial aura from Feng Changning.
“Why do you say that, fellow?” Feng Changning asked, frowning.
“In the Cultivation World, although there are few cultivators who practice
Divination as a supplementary skill, there are always a few in each Immortal City,”
“And with friend Nings destiny, you would be targeted by those with ulterior motives within three Immortal Cities.’
“Given friend Ning’s Golden Core Stage cultivation level……….”
As Xu Fan spoke, he pulled in his fishing rod, and a five-meter-long fish leaped out of the water. It was guided by Xu Fan into a special Artifact for storing fish.
“Is my destiny dangerous?”
“The appearance of an Immortal Dynasty Emperor is a taboo in this Cultivation World dominated by sects.”
“Cultivators have a deep divide with mortals and would not allow the existence of something neither immortal nor mortal like a dynasty.” Xu Fan said indifferently.
“The appearance of an Immortal Dynasty Emperor.” Feng Changning murmured. Was she a natural-born emperor?
Feng Changning understood what Xu Fan meant. Just like when she ruled her hometown, she would always imprison those with the appearance of an emperor.
To snuff out the danger in the bud was her code of conduct.
“Cant I just be a Loose Cultivator?” Feng Changning asked.
“Since you have set foot in this world, you have already entered the fray.”
“Do you think you can live peacefully as a Loose Cultivator?” Xu Fan said with a smile. There was no joking about the saying that once you enter the arena, you are in a sea of bitter struggle.
Feng Changning frowned and fell silent, realizing that the situation was more serious than she had imagined.
“Fellow, can you help me conceal this appearance of an Immortal Dynasty Emperor?” Feng Changning asked.
“Of course, I can. After all, you have some connection with our Hidden Spirit
Sect, and I can at least help you with this.”
“Will I really be able to settle down as a Loose Cultivator afterward?”
“If that’s what you want, then you can.” Xu Fan said, taking out a Heavenly Mechanism Jade Pendant that had just been refined and was still warm.
“This Heavenly Mechanism Jade Pendant can conceal your destiny, and for your appearance, you can just change it yourself,” Xu Fan said.
Those who have accomplished great achievements often share one trait: they like to crash into the wall even in the face of great difficulties. The wall this girl wants to crash into is much tougher than an ordinary wall, and the gap between them is the difference between a common wall and an alloy wall. “Thank you, fellow. I will return the favor a hundred times over,” Feng Changning said with a bow.
A simple thank you would have been enough. I just couldn’t bear to see you encountering troubles right after arriving in the Cultivation World.” Xu Fan replied nonchalantly, seemingly not caring much about the hundredfold return favor.
Then Feng Changning chatted with Xu Fan for a while before bidding farewell and flying in the direction of Linsen Immortal City.
Watching the golden Escaping Light, Xu Fan couldn’t help but sigh, wondering if emperors liked the color yellow.
“You down there, the ugly fish, you can come out now,” Xu Fan said. Did you really think that I wouldn’t find you just because you took all natural factors into account?
A two-meter-long fish leaped from the lake in the distance, transforming into Xu Yuexian.
“Master, how did you discover me this time? Was it because of Pu Tao?” Xu Yuexian asked, holding a little book in her hand, which seemed thick enough to be used for dozens of years.
“Next time you eavesdrop, don’t make a gossiping expression, no matter what you turn into,” Xu Fan said with a laugh, finding the fish’s curious face extremely ugly.
“Got it,” Xu Yuexian giggled. Perhaps it was because she was eavesdropping on her Master that she had not been as cautious as she should have been and ended up revealing her hiding place.
Xu Yuexian landed on Xu Fan’s Spirit Boat and took out a fishing rod, joining
Xu Fan in fishing and chatting.
Looking at Xu Yuexian fishing beside him, Xu Fan said: “Among your Senior Brothers and Junior Fellows, you are the only one with filial piety, knowing to occasionally accompany your Master.”
Xu Fan’s elderly tone instantly embarrassed Xu Yuexian.
“Eldest brother is always cultivating, thinking about taking on the responsibility of being the Sect’s number one combat strength.”
“Third Junior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother are even more diligent, always in closed-door cultivation.”
“The invasion of the Thick Armored Honey Badger had a significant impact on them. If it weren’t for the help of the two Guardian Envoys from the Elders
Association, they wouldn’t have repelled the Integration Stage Thick Armored Honey Badger.” Xu Yuexian said softly. She had wanted to close the door for cultivation, but she had encountered a bottleneck.
“They even underestimate their own Master. It was just at the Integration Stage, not unbeatable. If it can’t be beaten, at least it can be outrun.” Xu Fan said loudly, sounding quite angry.
“Now that I have recently advanced to the Golden Core Stage, there are still many things 1 haven’t handled well. But once 1 refine those secret weapons, I will have no fear when facing Integration Stage members of the Monster Clan in the future.’
Xu Fan spoke, and behind him appeared a Void Cultivation cultivator in heavy armor and a mask.
“This is the latest puppet I’ve refined. It can exert up to eight layers of its strength during its lifetime. Coupled with my control, it’s no problem to challenge the Integration Stage,” Xu Fan said proudly. To refine this living puppet, he had to spend a lot of brain cells of his First Clone.
“Master is amazing,” Xu Yuexian said, admiring the prowess of the Void Cultivation puppet behind Xu Fan. As expected, her monstrous Master should not be measured by his realm alone.
“Master, so if we spend a lot of money to buy a Mahayana Stage Monster corpse, can we refine a puppet with the combat power of a Mahayana Stage?” Xu Yuexian felt like her intelligence had ascended at that moment.
“In theory, yes, but by the time I’m able to refine one, I would have already advanced to the Integration Stage myself, so there’s no point now,” Xu Fan said with a smile while looking at the smart Xu Yuexian.
Refining a Niahayana puppet involves the realm of the Great Dao and is not simply an easy task.
“l knew it wouldn’t be that simple,” Xu Yuexian said.
“Since you’ve encountered a bottleneck, stop cultivating for now. Take advantage of the fact that you can’t go out due to your injury and work on the sect’s spiritual construction,” Xu Fan said, looking at the idle Xu Yuexian. “Spiritual construction?” Xu Yuexian asked, puzzled.
“Our Hidden Spirit Sect has been established for so many years, and we’ve never held a sect-wide competition.”
“You can head to the Treasure House later to pick some prizes and organize the sect-wide competition.”
“Let me see how far our first-generation disciples have come.”
Actually, the data of all the disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect was available through Pu Tao, including detailed combat strength evaluations. However, Xu Fan felt that the recent cultivation atmosphere in the sect was very strong, so he took the opportunity to organize a sect-wide competition..
