My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death-Chapter 645 - 618: Fifty Years
Chapter 645: Chapter 618: Fifty Years
“Your communication method with that senior is quite unique,” No.1 Clone said with a smile.
“I’m already over 15,000 years old, and every time I send something to his son, I have to tease him,” the Refining Palace Master replied helplessly.
“I feel that senior is acting like this because he wants to meet you sooner,” No.1 Clone said.
“Of course I know that, but it doesn’t stop me from being annoyed,” the Refining Palace Master replied.
“As long as you understand, brother,” No.1 Clone laughed.
“Come on, brother, I’ve already figured out the Immortal Rune Array from earlier, but some parts are still a bit fuzzy. Can you explain it to me?” the Refining Palace Master asked.
“Which part do you have trouble with, brother?” No.1 Clone inquired.
As the two of them taught and learned from each other, another three months passed.
Only when Pang Fu’s Star Boat arrived did the Refining Palace Master reluctantly part with No.1 Clone, promising to meet again at their next agreed upon time.
Aboard the Wind Thunder, No.1 Clone looked at the ever-receding Supreme Immortal City and couldn’t help but laugh.
He felt a bit cheated on this trip. He had expected to catch up with his old friend and take a break, but instead, he had been forced to teach for so long.
“Elder No.1, I thought you’d never come back,” Pang Fu said with a smile, standing beside No.1 Clone.
“Since we made an appointment, I can’t just go back on my word,” No.1 Clone replied.
“Nothing major has happened recently,” Pang Fu continued.
“Everything is normal, except that the Spiritual Qi supply from the Gathering Spirits Array in our sect is running low,” Pang Fu informed him.
“Is it because of that one-horned giant snake?” No.1 Clone asked.
“Yes, now at least 30% of our sect’s Spiritual Qi is being absorbed by the one-horned giant snake every day,” Pang Fu replied.
“Haven’t you expanded any other Gathering Spirits Arrays?” No.1 Clone doubted that his main body would be so foolish.
“The Great Master said that we should wait for you to come back and solve this issue,” Pang Fu answered.
“Lazy people being praised for being lazy,” No.1 Clone muttered as he gazed at the distant Star River in the Vast Void Domain.
During this time in the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan had already clearly felt that the Spiritual Qi was much thinner than before.
“I don’t know why, but every time this Spirit Liquid Lake is about to be filled, something blocks it from being filled completely,”
Xu Fan said while looking at the lake.”.
“Master, we have already slowed down the absorption of Spiritual Qi as much as possible. If it weren’t for you feeding the star-eating snake those Spiritual Mine powders every day, our sect wouldn’t be able to withstand half of the snake’s consumption,” Li Xingci explained.
At this moment, a huge snake body jumped out of the Spirit Liquid Lake like a flood dragon emerging from the sea.
Then, the enormous snakehead approached Xu Fan.
Before, Xu Fan could only touch the star-eating snake’s head. Now, he could only scratch its chin.
“Star Ci, when do you think we can send it away?” Xu Fan inquired.
He had thought that after the Hidden Spirit Sect became wealthy with resources, raising a single Vast Void Gaint Beast shouldn’t be an issue.
But who could have predicted that the star-eating snake would be so difficult to raise? The amount of Spiritual Qi it absorbed in a single day made Xu Fan feel overwhelmed.
It was just like the dragon eggs from back then, becoming more and more difficult to sustain.
“Master, just hold on a little longer. Once the star-eating snake completely recognizes you as its master and voluntarily signs a contract with you, you can send it back to the Vast Void Domain,” Li Xingci advised.
“How long do I have to hold on for? The water level in my huge Spirit Liquid Lake is already starting to drop,” Xu Fan replied, scratching the snake’s chin with a pained expression.
Naturally, the two of them were communicating through sound transmission, as the one-horned giant snake had gained a certain degree of wisdom by now.
“You’ll need to endure it for at least 50 years,” Li Xingci estimated.
Hearing this duration, Xu Fan sighed.
“I can’t conserve any more resources, so I’ll have to start opening more streams,” Xu Fan said with determination.
It was just Spiritual Qi, after all. There had to be a way to work around it.
After a warm interaction with Xu Fan, the star-eating snake returned to the Spirit Liquid Lake.
Xu Fan and Li Xingci took a leisurely stroll by the lake.
“Star Ci, how has Elder Ran Tian been doing lately?” Xu Fan asked.
“Thanks to the elixir you gave him, he’s out of danger and is currently cultivating the reincarnation skill,” Li Xingci reported.
“That’s good,” Xu Fan nodded.
“Master, I have something to ask for your advice,” Li Xingci said.
“What is it?”
“Ever since I started practicing your improved Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation Skill, I’ve increasingly felt that the Reincarnation World has become more and more real,” Li Xingci explained.
“That’s how it should be. When I deduced this skill, I sensed something similar to the Heavenly Dao. The worlds you experience in your Hundred Lifetimes Skill are also deduced by it.”
“Don’t think too much about it. As long as you don’t become lost in the Reincarnation World, this skill only has benefits and no drawbacks,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Li Xingci nodded.
At this moment, two beams of Escaping Light streaked across the sky. The green Escaping Light belonged to Li Chufan.
The white Escaping Light belonged to Zhan Ling. After a year of growth, he still looked like a little milk baby, but he was now able to steer his flying sword through the air and play with it.
“Little grandpa, you used to brag about how powerful you were, and now that we’re both at the advanced stage of Qi Refining, your speed is three times slower than mine,” Li Chufan laughed as he looked back at Zhan Ling.
“Chu Fan, did you think that by suppressing my cultivation level to the same realm as yours, grandpa’s speed would become slower than yours?” Zhan Ling scoffed.
Zhan Ling’s small flying sword beneath his feet suddenly turned into a Spirit Boat.
With a palm strike on the transformed Spirit Boat, a jet of Spiritual Qi instantly appeared, followed by a powerful thrust.
The speed suddenly increased several times, quickly overtaking Li Chufan.
“Grandpa, you’re cheating!”
“How is this cheating? Aren’t I just using my own strength to accelerate?” Zhan Ling retorted, enjoying the thrill of speed.
“Since you insist that it’s fair, then I won’t hold back,” Li Chufan immediately took out several talismans and activated them all.
In a moment, Li Chufan was like someone with special effects, growing wings on his back, a wind and thunder array under his feet, and a jet-like device behind him.
Li Chufan’s speed also increased several times, almost keeping up with Zhan Ling.
“Their tricks are getting more and more varied,” Xu Fan laughed as he looked at Li Chufan in the sky.
“I used to be able to understand the cultivation techniques practiced by the disciples, but now if I were to go back and look at them again, I’d feel confused,” Li Xingci said with a laugh, sometimes feeling as if he wasn’t in the Cultivation World while walking through the sect.
Just then, a team of strange puppet machines streaked across the sky, their speed not inferior to a God Transformation Stage cultivator’s full-powered Escaping Light.
“Things always come around to the same root, no matter how much they vary,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
