Chapter 758: Reincarnation Dream

After the Celestial Turtle vanished, the dark silhouette turned to gaze at the towering tree cloaked in darkness, lost in thought.

Its pitch-black eyes flickered with shifting emotions.

Finally, a trace of resignation crossed its expression as it waved a hand.

Instantly, like a tree full of birds startled by a gunshot, tens of thousands of Bat Giant Beasts erupted from the towering tree, soaring toward the Extreme Void Domain.

"Give me a bit more time. My power isn’t strong enough yet."

"By the laws of this realm, after enduring your humiliation for thousands of years, you will ascend," the dark silhouette said bitterly.

Above the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, the Two-headed Fish Giant Beast, sealed by Xu Fan, bowed its head in submission.

"Since you’re so obedient, I’ll let you live a different kind of life," Xu Fan said as he extracted the true spirit of the Two-headed Fish Giant Beast.

"Grape, notify Pang Fu to bring the fleet back."

"Tell Number One to find time to integrate this giant beast’s true spirit into the Star Ship fleet," Xu Fan ordered.

"Understood," came the reply.

In the underground space, Xu Fan watched as avatar number one worked on crafting celestial tool components for the exterior of Hidden Spirit Island.

Noticing Xu Fan’s arrival, avatar number one said, "Grape mentioned you’ve already finished the job."

"Of course! Finding things isn’t that hard."

"I’ll bring back the remaining three layers of materials in 100 years," Xu Fan said with a hint of pride.

He hadn’t expected his good friend to handle so much celestial tool-level spirit ore so effortlessly.

"In that case, why not upgrade the Hidden Spirit Sect further? Let’s make it even more impressive."

Avatar number one tossed a jade slip toward Xu Fan.

"Here’s the list of new celestial tool-level spirit ores needed. It’s your task now," he said lightly.

Xu Fan glanced at the jade slip and saw that it outlined a plan to elevate Hidden Spirit Island from its current state to a higher-tier version—essentially upgrading it from a standard model to a premium one.

"Number One, are you just creating more work for me?" Xu Fan asked.

"You’ve got good friends. I’m sure he can handle it," avatar number one replied calmly, continuing to refine the celestial tool-level spirit ores with precise control of the Phoenix Divine Fire.

"Uh…isn’t that pushing it? Even a clay figure has its limits. If you push a good friend too hard, they might just self-destruct," Xu Fan hesitated.

If the ally had no value, suppressing them would be fine. But now, with such a useful tool person in front of him, Xu Fan had to consider their endurance.

After all, a tool person like this wasn’t easy to come by.

"Then wait 100 years before asking him to handle it. In the meantime, see if you can find more good friends."

Avatar number one casually tossed the celestial tool accessories he was crafting into the celestial tool furnace and quickly grabbed a pile of spirit ore for celestial tools to begin working on the next piece.

"Where can I find such a good friend? Having just one is already great," Xu Fan said with a smirk.

"That depends on you," avatar number one replied, then focused on crafting the celestial tool accessories.

Xu Fan also left the underground space.

In the cave where Li Xingci was, Li Chufan looked at Su Rantian, who had fallen into a deep sleep, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Accompanying Dad through reincarnation without telling me," Li Chufan said as he covered them both with a blanket. Just as he was about to leave, Su Rantian suddenly erupted with an unfamiliar aura.

The overwhelming pressure blanked Li Chufan’s mind.

When he regained his senses, he saw that his always gentle mother was looking at him with a cold, unfamiliar gaze.

"What place is this, and who are you?"

The powerful aura almost suffocated Li Chufan, and the chilling intent penetrated his soul, making him certain that one wrong word could turn him into ice scraps.

"This is Lin Sen Fairy City, Hidden Spirit Sect. Senior, who are you and why have you taken over my mother’s body?" Li Chufan managed to say with great difficulty while quickly notifying Xu Fan.

Since Su Rantian and Li Xingci usually resided in the Daoist artifact palace, Xu Fan was unaware of the anomaly happening here at first.

A figure appeared beside Li Chufan.

"Taoist friend, who are you and why are you possessing my disciple’s wife?" Xu Fan said, facing Su Rantian’s powerful aura.

"If you only wish to use this body as a medium to escape the Cycle of Rebirth, your goal has been achieved. Please leave my disciple’s wife," Xu Fan glanced at Su Rantian, whose eyes seemed to grow colder.

"I just escaped from the realm of reincarnation and need some days to rest. I will leave this body after ten days," the possessed Su Rantian felt Xu Fan was not to be trifled with and opted for a delaying tactic.

Seven Other Shore Flowers suddenly appeared above Su Rantian, slowly unfolding into bloom.

When they reached their most beautiful state, they abruptly shattered like bubbles, transforming into a dreamlike aura that engulfed Su Rantian.

"You think you can get away with this? I’ll give you a chance, but it’s no use," Xu Fan conjured a Colorful Bubble that contained a special spirit body.

Su Rantian fainted, and the quick-witted Li Chufan assisted her onto the bed.

"Master Ancestor, what was that just now?" Li Chufan asked, still shaken.

"Just a fugitive trying to escape. With your Master Ancestor here, there’s no need to worry," Xu Fan replied, handing the Colorful Bubble to Li Chufan.

"Place this on your father’s forehead; it will aid in his cultivation," Xu Fan instructed.

Li Chufan nodded and pressed the Colorful Bubble onto Li Xingci’s forehead.

As soon as the bubble touched Li Xingci’s forehead, it instantly burrowed in.

At that moment, Li Xingci, who was undergoing another round of training in the reincarnation dream, felt a powerful energy surging into him.

"Xingci, what are you thinking? The sect is about to open, and whether we can cross through depends on this opportunity," a girl beside Li Xingci said.

"Oh, let’s go now!" Li Xingci replied as he snapped back to reality.

At that moment, a staircase made of Immortal Jade appeared at the sect entrance, wide enough to allow disciples with spiritual roots to ascend.

Climbing one-third of the staircase, a disciple could be considered an outer disciple, destined for great achievement, capable of moving mountains and seas and reaching for the stars.

Climbing two-thirds granted them the status of inner sect disciples, destined to become immortals over thousands of years.

Those who reached the top and entered the sect would meet the supreme Golden Immortal great beings and could become their direct disciples.

Li Xingci looked at the Ten Thousand Tribulations Immortal Jade staircase and gently guided the girl up.

It felt effortless and comfortable, as if he was bathing in a hot spring.

In contrast, the girl beside Li Xingci seemed burdened.

As they ascended the Immortal Jade steps and reached the two-thirds mark, the girl said, "Li Ge, thank you for bringing me this far, but I really can’t go any further. It seems the sect door can only be entered by you alone."

Most of the participants in the trial were at the one-third mark, with only a few reaching two-thirds.

They all stared at Li Xingci as if looking at an immortal.
