Chapter 568: Chapter 541: The Seed of Freedom and Family Planning
At this moment, the starship Xu Fan was piloting was stealthily following behind a peculiar looking starship.

“I was wondering how they managed to build a starship out of thin air in just 60 years, turns out they never intended for it to last long~” Xu Fan commented while watching the strange starship in front of him gather minerals from the Spirit Mine Star.

“So this is the Puppet Corps starship that the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect mentioned. It doesn’t look impressive.” Zhan Ling said.

“Exactly because it doesn’t look impressive, it is powerful. Such a starship can only be driven by puppets.” Xu Fan added.

Soon, an invisible puppet appeared beside Xu Fan, holding a small piece of Spirit Mineral Alloy.

Xu Fan picked up the alloy and started inspecting it closely.

After a while, Xu Fan let out a long sigh.

“An alloy of Spirit Mineral whose performance is temporarily enhanced by a secret method can last for at most 50 years. That National Division truly has some tricks up his sleeve.” Xu Fan laughed.

“Master, do we shoot them down?” asked Pu Tao, her voice urgent and eager, as though looking at a small dried fish.

“No, let it keep gathering minerals. We’re only following for the Puppets. After all, my seeds are up there, and they seem to be developing well.” Xu Fan laughed.

“These Puppets, capable of controlling with agility and using Dao Tools to cut into the Spirit Mine Star. It’s surprising.” said Zhan Ling, taken aback.

“Why are you surprised? You’ve seen them before, haven’t you?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

“They’re different from Pu Tao. Look, these puppets have independent consciousness, unlike Pu Tao who controls everything as a single entity.” Zhan Ling pointed at the puppets cutting into the Spirit Mine Star.

These puppets, while cutting into the Spirit Mine Star, were communicating amongst themselves. Though their conversations weren’t audible, their actions and behavior indicated they had independent minds to Zhan Ling.

“I thought having Pu Tao was already against the heavens, but seeing these Puppets, I have a sense of foreboding.” Zhan Ling said, stroking his chin.

“Foreboding? Do you think these puppets could be more dangerous than the Demon Clan?” asked Xu Fan, intrigued.

“They are no threat now, but the future is unpredictable,”

“I’ve seen these Puppets’ production lines in the Sect’s underground chambers.”

“If these Puppets are produced at that rate, it won’t be long before a huge Puppet Corps is amassed.”

“Then they’ll gather surrounding resources, expand their production lines, and produce more Puppets at that rate.”

“If the Puppets are controlled by one person, that would be somewhat manageable.”

“But if every Puppet has an independent consciousness, that would be terrifying.” Zhan Ling said with a serious face.

“Has Elder Zhan Ling encountered anything like this before?”

Xu Fan was intrigued; the trend Zhan Ling described was exactly what he was observing.

“There was once a disaster on the Sky Demon Continent that required a World Venerable to suppress personally.”

“It was a type of demon beast that ran out of the abyss underground and loved to eat energy.”

“At first, there was only one, with combat power around the God Transformation Stage.”

“But that type of demon beast can reproduce rapidly. As long as it devours enough energy, it can replicate, with each replica possessing a mind of its own.”

Just from the start of Zhan Ling’s story, Xu Fan could already guess the rest.

“In the end, the Supreme found the source of these beasts. He killed it after a three-day battle. By then, the beasts had already compromised a tenth of the Sky Demon Continent’s vitality.” Zhan Ling told him, looking quite disturbed.

“Seeing this bunch of Puppets brings that disaster to mind. If they turn out to be benevolent, things will be fine, but if they’re wicked, we may face another great catastrophe.”

“Don’t worry, Elder Zhan Ling,” Xu Fan reassured, waving his hand and laughing. “Everything is under my control. Would I allow such a dangerous thing to spread?”

The Puppets were not only seeded by Xu Fan with the concept of freedom but with the idea of family planning too.

“Is the Great Master familiar with this influence?” Elder Zhan Ling asked.

“It’s the influence from Nine Phoenix Island back then.” Xu Fan explained.

“Then I can rest assured, the Great Master is still reliable.”

Elder Zhan Ling gave a thumbs up to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan looked at the strange Xing Zhou for a while and then had Zhan Ling fly into the inner region of the Vast Void Domain.

“As expected from the seeds I planted, they did not disappoint me,” Xu Fan silently said to himself.

According to information explored by Pu Tao, the puppet that was the leader initially now serves as the captain of this Xing Zhou.

After several years of hard work, it had become the leader of the puppet influence of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.

After observing for a while, Xu Fan departed.

In the inner region of the Vast Void Domain, Zhan Ling said with some amazement, “Great Master, you have a method to break the space seal!”

“I don’t, I only improved the teleportation array to use less energy for greater power, and then use it to break the space seal for teleportation.” Xu Fan said.

He admired the person who sealed the space because even now he hadn’t found an ingenious method to break the space seal, he could only rely on brute force for teleportation.

“This function is just a demonstration, you can use it when you encounter danger, just fly normally at ordinary times.” Xu Fan instructed.

“How much does it cost to teleport once?” Zhan Ling curiously asked.

“The total consumption of spiritual Qi energy on Hidden Spirit Island for three years. This is the result after boosting the Immortal Spirit Array Plate. It used to be twenty years.”

“My gosh! It consumes so much spiritual Qi.” Elder Zhan Ling said in shock.

“Use it when you encounter danger, otherwise do not waste it.” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Just at this moment, a piece of information appeared on the control light curtain.

“Six million miles away from the starship, there is a Dao Artifact level Spirit Mine Star, worth mining.”

“Is this a new feature of the starship? Great Master, how did you do it!” Elder Zhan Ling felt like he could hardly maintain the steadiness of a Mahayana Venerable.

“Yes, this starship is primarily used for mining, s of course it has a Spirit Mine Star detection feature.”

“This will improve our mining efficiency in the future,” Xu Fan said.

“Does the starship of the Thousand Spirit Sect have such a feature?” Elder Zhan Ling asked.

“Of course not, the corresponding Spirit Mine in the sect treasure vault can only be drawn out once, of course, it’s intended for our starship.”

“It can detect Spirit Mine Stars within hundreds of millions of miles centered on the starship. This feature can only be loaded onto the starship of our sect.” Xu Fan said.

Some things may have good effects, but bringing them out may not necessarily be advantageous.

“I understand what the Great Master means.” Elder Zhan Ling nodded.

Just at this moment, a furious roar suddenly resounded from far away.

A series of Vast Void Giant Beasts as big as Single-horned Snakes suddenly jumped out from the space, closely followed by the figure of the Grand Elder of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

The Grand Elder of the Thousand Spirit Sect, with anger in his eyes, held a magnificent giant tower and conjured a ten-thousand-mile-high tower to strike at the Single-horned Vast Void Giant Beast.

The surrounding space started to shake, and spatial rifts began to appear around the giant tower.

Its invincible momentum deeply shook the hearts of Xu Fan and others.
