Chapter 457: Time for Happiness, the Wife Has Left Again~

"Husband, don’t worry," Zhang Weiyun said quickly. "My master will be in seclusion here, which means I can stay with you then."

"Oh, we are a married couple, yet we can’t be together forever. It’s such a cruel twist of fate," Xu Fan replied.

"I’ll spend this month making sure to accompany you," Zhang Weiyun promised.

"As long as you are by my side, that’s enough," Xu Fan said.

At night, the Hidden Spirit Sect’s head chef turned up the heat, crafting exquisite dishes that filled the banquet table at the sect.

With the third-generation disciples entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, Xu Fan specially built a dining hall that could accommodate one hundred thousand people dining together.

All the Hidden Spirit Sect disciples excitedly feasted at the grand banquet. Before arriving, they had all received a precious artifact from the sect’s treasury, chosen especially for them, reportedly given by the Grand Elder’s cultivation partner.

Before the feast began, Xu Fan announced another elder for the Hidden Spirit Sect. "Let’s all greet Elder Weiyun~"

One hundred thousand disciples bowed in unison, giving Zhang Weiyun a fresh experience.

"I am the Grand Elder’s cultivation partner, and now I am also an elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect. If any of you have difficulties, feel free to talk to me directly," Zhang Weiyun addressed the bowing disciples.

Xu Fan couldn’t help but reflect beside Zhang Weiyun that generous people who could spend money are welcomed anywhere.

After the feast, Zhang Weiyun followed Xu Fan back to their courtyard.

For some reason, ever since the banquet ended, Xu Fan felt his heart racing, as if anticipating something to happen.

That night, the sky was filled with countless stars, intertwining in a vast star sea. The two shared a tender gaze in their hut.

"Husband, I am ready now," Zhang Weiyun said shyly, lowering her head.

Xu Fan had imagined this many times before, but now that it was actually happening, even with his cultivation at the Transformation Stage, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

With a mix of excitement and tension, Xu Fan approached Zhang Weiyun.

At that moment, a soundproof Formation enveloped the entire courtyard, isolating even Grape outside.

As they say, "The mandarin ducks splash in the red waves, while a tree of pear blossoms weighs down the begonia."

The next day, when Xu Fan opened the door, he felt as if the entire world had changed.

"I am no longer…" Xu Fan murmured, gazing at the sky.

"Husband, could there be a little baby?" Zhang Weiyun asked eagerly.

"Wife, both of us are at the Transformation Stage; if we want a little baby, we’ll need to put in some effort," Xu Fan replied gently, looking at Zhang Weiyun.

"Husband, then let’s work hard this month," Zhang Weiyun suggested.

"Alright~" Xu Fan smiled.

For the final month, Xu Fan accompanied Zhang Weiyun to explore the mountains and enjoy the beautiful scenery, visiting both the cultivation world and the demon race.

At night, they were busy trying to make a baby.

Happy times always fly by. Just as Xu Fan started to enjoy the perks of having a wife, a whole month had already passed unnoticed.

Outside the Hidden Spirit Sect, a dark blue bird was trembling in the air, waiting for Zhang Weiyun.

"Husband, I have to leave now. When my master comes out of seclusion, I’ll come back to you~"

After saying this, Zhang Weiyun hugged Xu Fan tightly and then reluctantly mounted the dark blue bird and flew away.

“Ah, happy times are always too short,” Xu Fan sighed as he watched Zhang Weiyun’s figure disappear.

"Grand Elder, you’re really fortunate," someone commented.

"I’ve met Elder Weiyun’s master once; he’s quite remarkable and a Great Ascension Master with a lot of prestige," Spirit Cut mentioned, recalling the Immortal Sword. If a fight ever broke out, he doubted he could last more than a few moves.

"I met him back when I was still in the Qi Training Stage; he’s definitely not someone to mess with," Xu Fan nodded in agreement.

Those who came to see them off, including Xu Gang, looked at their master with a touch of sympathy.

That’s just how long-distance relationships are—more goodbyes than hellos.

In the cultivation world, who knows how many billions of miles apart they might be?

Zhang Weiyun returned to the Mysterious Azure Elder.

"Had enough time with your husband? Now it’s time to get back to your cultivation," the Mysterious Azure Elder said.

"Yes, I need to hurry and reach the Core Formation stage," Zhang Weiyun said with determination in her eyes.

"Oh, you silly disciple, always sending gifts and people. Is your husband really that wonderful?" the Mysterious Azure Elder teased.

"My husband is very good to me. He always wants to give me the best, even if I can’t use it right now," Zhang Weiyun said happily.

She then showed off several celestial tools that Xu Fan had specially made for her during her last absence.

The Mysterious Azure Elder examined the celestial tools Xu Fan had crafted for Zhang Weiyun and nodded approvingly.

"Not bad; it seems your husband really cares for you."

"These are definitely top-notch among celestial tools."

"Of course, my husband is going to be an artifact great master someday."

"When that time comes, I’ll have him make a few celestial tools just for you, Master," Zhang Weiyun said with a smile.

"Alright, I might just take you up on that offer someday," the Mysterious Azure Elder chuckled at his proud disciple.

"Master, make sure you have enough artifact-level spirit ore ready by then," Zhang Weiyun teased, grinning like a cat that got the cream.

"Of course, I wouldn’t want to take advantage of you two lovebirds."

"Alright, enough talk; we need to head to the extreme north. I’ve just heard that an alien race is awakening, and it’s time to retrieve that item," the Mysterious Azure Elder said.

"Master, you don’t have to go through all this trouble for me," Zhang Weiyun said, moved.

"Weiyun, remember, our Spirit body of great fortune draws the Heavenly Way’s Will in this realm, but once we ascend to the Immortal Realm, it becomes a curse."

"After ascending, we’ll face a great catastrophe because of the Spirit body of great fortune—a realization I had after taking you as my disciple."

"The only way I can think of to avoid this catastrophe is to ascend to the Immortal Realm with an object that carries the fate of an entire race."

"Then, using our cultivation and that object as an offering, we might be able to avoid the catastrophe and transform it into the spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm, allowing us to start anew," the Mysterious Azure Elder explained seriously.

"I no longer have that chance; I’ll have to figure something out after I ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"But you, my disciple, are different. As your cultivation grows stronger, and with my help, you’ll easily obtain an object that carries the fate of an entire race."

"And in the battle between the two realms, you’ll gain enough Merit and Fortune to complement each other."

"When you ascend to the Immortal Realm, you’ll definitely have the chance for spiritual re-cultivation," the Mysterious Azure Elder encouraged.

"Master, what about you?"

"Can you really only figure something out after going to the Immortal Realm?" Zhang Weiyun asked anxiously; she hated hearing her master talk like this.

"My hopes are all on you; as long as you ascend to the Immortal Realm and undergo spiritual re-cultivation," the Mysterious Azure Elder said, "I can then use our master-disciple bond to overcome this great catastrophe."
