Chapter 507: Untitled

After Xu Fan’s temporary avatar emerged from Li Xingci, he addressed the concerned crowd, “The issue is resolved; Xingci should wake up in about a day.”

“Thank you, Grand Elder.”

“Thank you, Master Ancestor.”

Xu Fan nodded, then dissolved into the purest form of Five Elements of Spiritual Energy on the spot.

In his seclusion chamber, Xu Fan rubbed his head and muttered, “Why does trouble always find me when I’m in seclusion?”

“Is the heavens conspiring to keep me from focusing?” he wondered.

Adopting a mindset of “deal with problems as they come,” Xu Fan resumed his seclusion.

This time, his seclusion lasted a bit longer before being interrupted by an inexplicable aura.

“Is this the Xuanhuang aura?” Xu Fan said, incredulous.

He then used Five Elements of Spiritual Energy to create a temporary avatar and followed the trail of the Xuanhuang aura.

At that moment, Wang Yulun was deep in thought, staring at a green jade giant rock.

“The sect’s Formation has failed. How did this rock end up in my courtyard out of nowhere?” Wang Yulun looked up at the sky, puzzled.

“When the giant rock fell, Grape was affected by a mysterious aura, causing the sect’s grand formation to malfunction momentarily,” Grape explained, sounding equally confused.

“Why did I glitch? How could I glitch? What if it happens again?”

These existential questions left Grape’s thoughts in disarray.

“Grape, it’s rare to see you malfunction,” Wang Yulun said with a chuckle. As long as no one was hurt, it wasn’t a big deal.

Just then, Grape detected an irresistible aura, like a dog spotting a meaty bone or a trader finding the perfect bargain.

For a moment, Grape was tempted to recklessly devour the green jade giant rock.

But a final warning snapped him back to reality. He knew that acting on such impulses could result in either gaining a sibling of equal rank or being reformatted entirely, giving birth to a new spirit.

At that moment, Xu Fan appeared beside Wang Yulun.

“Big Brother Xu, I was just about to ask you, this giant rock feels like it has a very special aura; it must be something good,” Wang Yulun said as he patted the rock.

At that moment, a thread of Xuanhuang aura seeped through Wang Yulun’s hand and entered his body.

“Don’t say anything else; just take your hand off the stone. This Xuanhuang aura is beyond what you can handle,” Xu Fan quickly said.

He wasn’t concerned about the Xuanhuang aura itself but rather that absorbing too much with Wang Yulun’s level of cultivation could lead to serious trouble.

“What is Xuanhuang aura?” Wang Yulun asked as he pulled his hand away from the green jade giant rock.

“This is a…”

Before Xu Fan could finish, Wang Yulun fainted.

Fortunately, Xu Fan had been prepared; a soft bed appeared in the direction Wang Yulun fell, catching him safely.

“Alright, my good brother won’t be moving for a hundred years,” Xu Fan sighed.

At that moment, Murong Qianer came out and looked at Wang Yulun lying on the bed, asking, “Big Brother Xu, what’s wrong with Yulun?”

“What can I say? It seems he has encountered a great opportunity and fallen into a state of enlightenment. He will likely need one hundred years’ time.”

“After a hundred years, when Yulun awakens, he will be able to become a Transformation God and ascend, following the wide road without obstacles,” Xu Fan explained.

“Big Brother Xu, will Yulun really wake up after a hundred years?” Murong Qianer asked with concern.

“Why would I lie to you, Murong? Yulun absorbed the Xuanhuang aura, and too much of this primordial energy can overwhelm him, causing his soul to enter a state of enlightenment.”

“Fortunately, he didn’t absorb too much, so he can digest this thread of Xuanhuang aura in one hundred years,” Xu Fan reassured her.

“Thank you for letting me know, Big Brother Xu,” Murong Qianer nodded and took Wang Yulun back to the room.

“This hundredfold return will be quite substantial this time, especially with the Xuanhuang aura emerging.”

“Grape, channel the sect’s spiritual energy and transform it into Five Elements of Spiritual Energy to empower me, at 5% power,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master,” Grape responded, sounding a bit excited.

In an instant, a multicolored beam of light descended upon Xu Fan.

Five types of spiritual energy flames surrounded Xu Fan, and they intertwined to form a chaotic hand that grasped the green jade giant rock and shot toward the underground space where Grape’s true form resided.

In Grape’s world, Xu Fan looked at the jade giant rock, unsure how to handle it for a moment.

Absorbing it himself would be wasteful, and having Grape absorb it also seemed a bit excessive.

“Master, the Xuanhuang aura contained within that giant rock will significantly accelerate the speed of deducing various grand principles if absorbed by the Source Realm,” Grape said, his voice filled with eagerness.

The Source Realm was the small world completely under Grape’s control.

“I certainly know that; I also know it can be used to forge an unparalleled celestial being artifact.”

“Using it to create this little brother for you will instantly elevate its thinking and computing power to your level,” Xu Fan remarked, smirking.

“And the Source Realm can deduce the principles without consuming the Xuanhuang aura; is time a problem for me?”

“Master, if you use two-thirds of the Xuanhuang aura, it will accelerate the deducing speed and growth of the Source Realm.”

“Finally, using one-third of the Xuanhuang aura can deduce a special principle from it,” Grape explained.

“Master, you can feel that I am not lying to you.”

Hearing Grape’s pleading tone, Xu Fan did not doubt the truth of those words; he knew Grape wouldn’t dare to deceive him.

"So, you’re telling me that with all this Xuanhuang aura, you didn’t save any for me?" Xu Fan said, sounding a bit frustrated.

"I can spare three strands of Xuanhuang aura. Any more, and we won’t be able to deduce the unique special path law of this realm," Grape explained.

"Man, the heavens always have me cornered."

"Three strands are better than nothing."

"How long will it take to deduce that special law?"

"Sixty years," Grape replied.

Xu Fan did the math. Most of the Tian Puppet Masters he cared about would reach the end of their lifespans around that time.

"Sixty years it is, then," Xu Fan nodded.

Meanwhile, in the Extreme Void Domain, Ye Xiaoyao was staring grimly at the wreckage of a giant beast race warship.

"The Xuanhuang Stone… that was the Xuanhuang Stone! How could someone just snatch it away like that?" Ye Xiaoyao muttered, clearly frustrated.

"Seems like it just wasn’t meant to be," Old Sword sighed in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind.

Ye Xiaoyao had infiltrated the demon realm, learned about the Xuanhuang Stone, and disguised himself as a beast race member to board that giant beast race warship. But just as he was about to succeed, the warship was obliterated by a fleet of three Star Ships.

Ye Xiaoyao glanced back at the fleet and sighed heavily.
