Chapter 282 - 255: Acquiring the Demon Clan’s Giant Beast Warship
“Having heard that the Venerable One was being chased and killed, I can now put my mind at ease seeing you unharmed,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
Rumors spread throughout the cultivation world that the Thousand Spirit Sect was in chaos. The Supreme Elder and the Third Elder of the Thousand Spirit Sect joined forces to chase and kill the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect across two whole continents.
Those who witnessed the chase from the Immortal Cities and cultivators along the way were astounded.
The sky-high ruler repeatedly struck the Esteemed One’s buttocks.
This was the first time someone had heard of an Esteemed One being spanked. As a result, the news spread throughout the entire Central Continent in an instant.
“Those two old bastards.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect gritted his teeth. it was bad enough to be scolded by them. but to be spanked and lose face was too much.
“It was just a contest of divine abilities, not a big deal.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said indifferently, as if he wasn’t the one being spanked.
“This is the Xing Zhou starship that I promised to your artifact spirit.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said as he took out a space ring, inside of which were two ape-type warships of the Monster Race.
“As I thought, that little artifact spirit has informed you.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said with a smile.
“Yes, all the Dao tools I refined can send feedback to me,” Xu Fan said, he had no intention of hiding this from the beginning.
He knew that deceiving the Mahayana Esteemed One in this matter would be courting death. The Esteemed One may not be great at piloting starships, but that doesn’t mean he’s a fool.
“You’re very smart. I have one request. When I encounter a crisis while driving the starship, you must ensure that it can still enter that state,” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect automatically ignored the fact that it was actually the puppet who helped him drive the starship.
“Alright,” Xu Fan agreed. He could accept this condition, mainly because the other party offered a high enough price, and he couldn’t beat this weakling in terms of martial force anyway.
“Alright, I’ve given you what I promised, now I have to go back to work,” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Forced by the pressure of his senior brother and third junior brother, and most importantly, unable to beat or escape from their clutches, along with the key to the sect’s starship’s spiritual energy core being in the hands of his senior brother, he had no choice but to return to the boring life of mining. Where can he find the exhilaration of battling against the Monster Race Battleships?
Xu Fan sent the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect out of the Hidden Spirit Sect and watched his figure disappear into the sky.
“No matter how high one’s cultivation is, there’s always some bitterness and helplessness,” Xu Fan said.
What kind of experience it was for a Mahayana Esteemed One to have been chased and spanked by the two Supreme Elders of the sect for three months?
Xu Fan didn’t know about others, but if it were him, he would go into closed-door cultivation for a hundred years before coming out.
Returning to the Main Peak, Xu Fan looked at the space ring in his hand, feeling like a child with a starship at his disposal.
With both hardware and software in place, all that was left was to perfectly control the power in his hands once his cultivation level rose.
Standing atop the Main Peak Dojo, Xu Fan overlooked the status of his fellow disciples below.
“The time for answering questions and resolving doubts begins!’
Xu Fan’s voice echoed throughout the entire Hidden Spirit Sect.
For a moment, all the disciples within the sect were boiling with excitement. Those who were playing Great Escape Killing in the Trial Tower, cultivating, refining artifacts, or practicing alchemy all stopped and immediately flew towards the Main Peak Dojo with their magical treasures.
In less than a stick of incense time, more than two thousand disciples had gathered at the Main Peak Dojo.
Nowadays, the mainstream second-generation disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect are at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with only a few monsters having advanced to the Golden Core Stage. Xu Fan has driven them out and forbidden them from returning within ten years.
There is an even more monstrous one who is still at the Qi Refining Stage, whose reason for being so is that he wants to study under the Great Master and comprehend the Hundred Paths before advancing.
“Zhang Xueling, your progress is not bad. You have advanced to the Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation. Well done.” Xu Fan teased Zhang Xueling, who was sitting in the front.
“In response to the Great Master’s words, I plan to disperse my power and start over,” a young man replied.
“Do you really plan to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage after a hundred years?” Xu Fan asked. This disciple was the one mentioned by Pu Tao when she reported on the situation of the sect’s disciples some time ago.
Now in the entire sect, there is only one Qi Refining Stage disciple left, and that is Zhang Xueling.
He has average talent, but he always wants to comprehend the world’s myriad of paths before advancing, which is why Xu Fan pays close attention to him.
“Yes.” Zhang Xueling stood up and saluted, his eyes full of anticipation as he looked at the legendary Great Master who had gathered the myriad paths, hoping he would give him more guidance.
“I see, later go to the sect’s Treasure Vault and receive a Beauty Preserving Pill. I’m not used to giving advice to old men,” Xu Fan said. Everyone has their own path, and while he can give guidance, he won’t walk it for them.
“……” Zhang Xueling.
“Sit down, it’s time for the Q&A session to begin,” Xu Fan said.
Some time ago, Xu Fan encountered a second-generation disciple who had the courage to ask for his guidance, which inspired him to guide all his sect’s disciples.
In the past, the illusion-based teaching method that Xu Fan had used was more likely to produce talented monsters, but it was slightly unfriendly to disciples with average talent.
At this moment, Zhang Xueling sat down, his mind occupied with the scene of him asking for advice from Xu Fan as an old man after taking the pill.
“Great Master, I’m having trouble with the Edgeless Sword Technique. I’ve only reached the stage of no blade,” a thin, Foundation Establishment disciple said.
After hearing the question, Xu Fan directly used the Light and Shadow Technique to simulate a sword cultivator practicing the Edgeless Sword Technique.
“No scabbard, no blade, no penetration, no edge. You pay too much attention to the word ‘no,’ while ignoring the essence of the sword technique itself,” Xu Fan said slowly, using his divine abilities to sound into the path.
At this moment, the sword cultivator formed by the Light and Shadow Technique gradually retracted the spiritual sword, and a sense of edgeless sword dao covered the entire dojo.
The skinny Foundation Establishment disciple stared intently at the sword cultivator formed by the Light and Shadow Technique, murmuring, “I understand.’
A gentle force helped the disciple, who was in the midst of an epiphany, to slowly sit down, forming a barrier to ensure that he would not be disturbed by the outside world.
“Who’s next?” Xu Fan looked at the other disciples and asked.
At this moment, a disciple of the Refining Equipment Peak used their spiritual power to control a failed treasure artifact and flew it to Xu Fan’s front.
“Great Master, I failed to refine a Treasure Artifact as a Grandmaster. I asked my teacher, Master Sand Peak, the reason, and he said that I am not suited for the path of artifact refining. Is that really true?” The Refining Equipment Peak’s Foundation Establishment disciple asked.
Xu Fan only took a casual glance at the failed Treasure Artifact and said, “Master Sand Peak is right. You are indeed not suited for the path of artifact refining. It seems that you did not follow the path of cultivation that the sect advised you to take.”
“I am sincerely devoted to the path of artifact refining,” the Refining Equipment Peak disciple said earnestly.
Looking at this disciple, Xu Fan inexplicably thought of the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect. He probably said something similar back in the day.
“Your inspiration and control over fire are too poor. Later, you can go to the treasure house and get another set of Microscopic Fire Control Technique Jade Slips. When you can control the Spiritual Fire to the point of perfection, then you can pursue your path of artifact refining,” Xu Fan said.
These disciples are like his students, and for their future path, he will only offer suggestions..
