Chapter 454: Four Hundred Twenty-Seven: 5 Years
The entire space was about the size of a soccer field, with a ceiling a hundred feet high. The heaven and earth were made of pure white jade, emitting a soft white light.
This formed a stark contrast to the sealed black shadow in the space.
“Calm down a bit. You’ve endured for tens of millions of years. What’s another few thousand years?” Xu Fan said with a smile, feeling that the surroundings were a good place for quiet cultivation.
The prerequisite was to deal with this black shadow first.
The black shadow suddenly stopped, staring at Xu Fan with a hint of thought in its eyes.
“You, just a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, at most can only let me torment you for a few hundred years,” the black shadow said, shaking its head, as if Xu Fan was just a toy designed to be tormented, and not even a good quality one at that.
Don’t just think about tormenting, the sealed space is very well-rounded. If I can use it to advance to the God Transformation Stage, maybe I could accompany you to break through this Yuan Bell Sword.
“But I still feel like tormenting you is more fun,” the black shadow said, revealing sharp teeth.
“Fighting and killing are not interesting at all. Let me show you something interesting,” Xu Fan said with a honeyed smile.
An image-conjuring jade Bi, specially refined by Xu Fan, appeared in front of the black shadow, on it was a little figure in a painting style unfamiliar to the black shadow.
At this point, the jade Bi began to play, and sounds started coming from it.
“Once upon a time, there was a fox demon causing havoc. The fox had nine tails, and when it shook them, mountains crumbled and the earth split.”
“The people were deeply disturbed, so they gathered ninjas.”
The images in the jade Bi, accompanied by the sounds, instantly attracted the black shadow.
The black shadow appeared beside Xu Fan, watching the animation on the jade Bi.
“Interesting, this little nine-tailed demon may be weak, but it has the demeanor of the Demon Clan.”
“What is this ninja thing…” the black shadow said curiously.
“Just think of it as similar to a cultivator,” Xu Fan casually replied, his mind thinking of ways to escape from here and deal with the black shadow.
“Yo, they actually sealed this demon fox in a baby’s body, this story is interesting. Will the little boy eventually turn into the nine-tailed demon fox and destroy the ninja village?” the black shadow said excitedly, as if looking forward to such a plot.
“Watch carefully, the plot is quite exciting later on.”
So Xu Fan watched the animation with the black shadow, during which Xu Fan kept taking out spiritual fruits from his space ring and handed them to the black shadow.
“Is this a spiritual fruit? I haven’t eaten one in thousands or millions of years.” The black shadow took the fruit and took a bite, only to find that it was just a spiritual body, and suddenly got a bit angry.
“If you break this jade Bi, you’ll never be able to watch this animation again,” Xu Fan quickly said.
“I’ll teach you a small divine ability that will allow you to taste the spiritual fruit,” Xu Fan said, taking out a jade slip and handing it to the black shadow.
The black shadow did not speak, just silently took the jade slip from Xu Fan’s hand, looked at it, then changed its body into a raging black bear and began eating the fruit.
‘Ah’
A suppressed moan of comfort sounded.
At this moment, Xu Fan’s eyes widened, and his mind grew suspicious.
After eating the spiritual fruit, the bear sat beside Xu Fan and began watching the animation, as if wanting to make a comment: if he was the yellow-haired boy with a strong cultivation level, the first thing he would do is to destroy this village.
A month later, Xu Fan and the black bear finally finished watching the entire animation.
While watching the animation, the black bear forcefully resisted the urge to smash the jade Bi several times, and kept grumbling.
“Why didn’t the yellow-haired boy destroy the village? As a member of the Demon Clan, one shouldn’t mix and mingle with the Human Clan. And in the end, he even became the village chief.”
“The disgrace of the Demon Clan!” disdainfully said the black bear.
“Senior Tianjue, isn’t the Ancient Demon Clan the enemy of the Demon Clan?” Xu Fan asked curiously, feeling that this ancient demon was always biased toward the Demon Clan.
“I hate the Human Clan more than the Demon Clan” The black bear placed a fluffy palm on Xu Fan’s shoulder and grinned, revealing sharp teeth.
“Haha, Senior Tianjue, do you want to watch the next one?” Xu Fan tactfully changed the topic.
“Yes.”
So, Xu Fan took out the second part.
After watching for a few hours, the black bear slapped the ground in indignation.
“What is this? Change it.”
“Haha, I’ll change it right away.”
Xu Fan thought to himself, “I was careless”
Outside the Yuan Bell Sword, a majestic array palace had already been established.
At the top of the palace, the Yuan Bell Sword stood in the center, and only Xu Gang was standing guard below.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
During this time, the hidden spirit members seemed to have temporarily ceased development, and the plan to explore the Demon World turned into defense.
All the Tianjue Masters who explored the Demon World had withdrawn and focused on developing the Linsen Immortal City Region. Only Zhan Ling, guided by Pu Tao, occasionally went to the Vast Void Domain to mine spiritual minerals on the starship.
In the palace, Xu Gang stared at the Yuan Bell Sword in the center, whispering, “Master, since I was little, I’ve always seen you as omnipotent, seemingly capable of hiding nothing from the world.”
“Xu Gang grew up under your watch, just like me and Moon Immortal’s father.”
“I’ve also planned to ascend to the Immortal World with you, to see the magnificent sights of the Immortal World, wandering between heaven and earth.”
“Xu Gang has no great aspirations in life, just wants to protect you, listening to you teach the Great Dao and divine abilities when you are strong, and guarding your safety when I am strong.”
Just then, the Yuan Bell Sword began to tremble violently, and it seemed as if a myriad of divine lights were converging in the sky.
Countless visions descended in the sky, all representing various laws and anomalies of the Great Dao.
“Someone is breaking through.”
“This scene seems familiar,” Xu Gang said, looking at the anomalies in the sky. As for the vibrations of the Yuan Bell Sword, he was used to it.
The Yuan Bell Sword vibrated every once in a while.
At this moment inside the Yuan Bell Sword, Xu Fan was preparing to escape to the outside world with the tamed black bear, taking advantage of the moment when the heaven and earth anomalies merged into the Yuan Bell Sword, and the secret room’s connection with the external space was opened.
As the anomalies in the sky merged with the Yuan Bell Sword, Xu Gang began to get excited. He sensed Xu Fan’s presence within the anomalies.
“Pu Tao, mobilize all the spiritual qi of the sect and try to add it to the anomaly!” Xu Gang shouted.
Normally straightforward Xu Gang, when he saw that the anomaly was related to Xu Fan, instantly guessed Xu Fan’s plan.
Inside the Yuan Bell Sword, the black bear sensed Xu Fan’s aura and said, “Can we really do this?”
“If we can’t, we’ll just drain the power of time in here and then leave,” Xu Fan said with a smile, a touch of vicissitudes in his eyes.
“It’s alright; I feel that being with Brother Xu here is not lonely at all.”
