Chapter 671: Chapter 644: Ten Years
A massive Outer Sect Island was directly relocated to the edge of the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.
A large gate was opened on the edge of the island, which was the entrance to the Outer Sect's trial.
"Those who wish to enter the Outer Sect must step through this door. As long as you can step into the Outer Sect, you can become members of the Hidden Spirit Sect's Outer Sect," said a handsome man in a white robe.
The man possessed all the characteristics of a Proud Child of other Sects – eyes like knives and every movement showed the grandeur of a major sect.
At this time, tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators had already gathered on the shoreline, all of them meeting the eligibility requirements.
All of these were cultivators who had qualified through registration.
The handsome man standing in the void looked down at the cultivators entering the large gate, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He thought that the Sect didn't really need any more Outer Disciples at the moment.
"Brother Bai, are you also puzzled why the Sect is recruiting Outer Sect cultivators now?" A man in black clothing asked.
Bai Xuan nodded and said, "Although I'm puzzled, the Sect must have a profound reason for doing this. It's our job to carry it out."
"Brother Bai, the Outer Sect can now travel far for cultivation. Do you have any plans?" Qin Lu asked with a smile.
"I have no plans at the moment; I just gained some insight into a Sword Formation and I'm currently practicing it," Bai Xuan shook his head.
At this moment, Bai Xuan suddenly sensed a different energy.
He looked and saw several cultivators with unusual auras walking into the gate.
Bai Xuan wanted to stop them, to verify, but a voice by his ear halted him.
"Please do not stop them, this is within the Sect's plan."
Pu Tao's voice resounded next to Bai Xuan's ear.
"What's wrong, Brother Bai?" Qin Lu asked.
"Nothing, it just feels like the members recruited into the Outer Sect this time are unusual." Bai Xuan said.
At this moment, those Loose Cultivators who had walked through the gate on Outer Gate Island had all entered into a mystical world.
All the cultivators were enveloped by a strange aura, gradually falling into an Illusion.
In the Illusion, they experienced various moral tests.
A portion of these cultivators was then subjected to brainwashing.
Xu Fan didn't pay much attention to these trivial matters, focusing wholeheartedly on the refining of the Immortal Artifact Spirit Sword.
"Main body, how many Mahayana Puppets are you planning to refine this time?" the Second Clone asked.
"At least twenty, but there is no rush, we can take our time," Xu Fan replied.
"Number One, after you finish refining this Immortal Weapon, you should refine the Immortal Weapon for the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spirit Sect. We've already promised, it won't look good to delay," Xu Fan added.
"If I have to refine, then I refine. Either way, it's all work," Number One replied nonchalantly.
"Main body, have you ever thought about taking the Sect to other places."
"For instance, other continents or the Vast Void Domain, in that case, we could avoid a lot of trouble," the Second Clone suggested.
"Don't you think I've thought of that?" Xu Fan, who was in the middle of refining an Immortal Artifact, gave the Second Clone a glance.
"But I thought a bit further. Once Hidden Spirit Island has been refined to a certain level, I'll move Hidden Spirit Island to the Inner Zone of the Vast Void Domain."
"By that time, we can use Formations to wear down disasters and use the good things inside the Zone to bolster Hidden Spirit Island itself, and eventually refine Hidden Spirit Island to the Immortal Artifact Level."
"Then I would take the Sect to collectively Ascend to the Immortal World," Xu Fan said.
"Your idea is good, but is the remaining time enough?" the First Clone asked with a smile.
"6000 years, it should be about right," Xu Fan estimated.
"As the fusion of the two worlds progresses, the entire Cultivation World will become more and more chaotic. By then, the main players of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan will start to fight against each other."
"You all know me, I just want to peaceably be a salted fish, but recently I've only been used as a tool by them, tossed around."
"Although we can't beat them, we still have our dignity. Just because we can't win doesn't mean we can't run away, right?" Xu Fan said.
"If they push me to the brink, I'll take the Sect and hide deep within the Vast Void Domain. I don't believe anyone could disturb us there."
"Didn't they say in our past life? Life is like a ~, if you can't resist then just enjoy it." The second clone said.
"You can take my place as the Great Elder, I'll go find a place to live in seclusion."
"If I were taking your place, I'd declare a closed-door retreat and wouldn't come out without reaching the Mahayana stage." The second clone chuckled and concluded.
"By then it won't be up to you." Xu Fan started to laugh.
As the three of them chatted leisurely while refining tools, ten years had passed.
During these ten years, the Demon Clan had sent giant beast warships to attack the Hidden Spirit Sect twice.
Moreover, an invincible demon venerable had been watching the Hidden Spirit Sect covetously.
But they were all repelled by the Mahayana puppet.
As the number of Mahayana puppets increased and the Mahayana sword array puppets formed,
The invincible demon venerable who guarded the vicinity of the Hidden Spirit Sect had to retreat without accomplishing anything.
At this time, there were already 15 Mahayana puppets in the Hidden Spirit Sect. The strongest among them were the sword array puppets with three Immortal Artifact Spirit Swords and hundreds of Dao Artifact Spirit Swords.
Above the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Xu Fan returned to his previous state of chronic laziness.
"Master, according to observations, the Invincible Venerable of the Demon Clan has already retreated."
Xu Fan, who was sunbathing, nodded slightly to show that he understood.
"Now, I can finally enjoy life." Xu Fan said with a smile.
Since the sword array puppets were introduced, Xu Fan knew that as long as he didn't provoke anyone, he would at least be safe in the Cultivation World.
"15 Mahayana puppets, plus those demon venerables."
"This lineup ranks at least the top five in the entire Cultivation World." Xu Fan said.
"Judging from the quantity alone, the combat power on the Great Elder's side is indeed astonishing."
Zhan Ling, who had just come out of seclusion, was also sunbathing with Xu Fan.
"As long as we don't provoke those top-notch great demon clans, we'll usually be fine." Zhan Ling said.
"Sigh, I don't want to provoke them either, but I can't help it. I always end up being passive."
"But it's okay, they all have the Elders Association watching them. If they came at us with all their strength, we wouldn't be able to resist." Xu Fan looked at the sky and spoke with a smile, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
To Xu Fan, the top-notch invincible demon venerables could only be dealt with once he advanced to the Mahayana stage.
In this world, the puppets he had refined had reached their limit.
At this moment, a small starship landed smoothly on the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.
The Flash Thunder Demon Lord flew down from the starship and stood respectfully next to Xu Fan.
"Great Elder, only some common Dao Artifact Spirit Ore was collected." The Flash Thunder Demon Lord regretfully reported.
"We can't always be so lucky." Xu Fan replied nonchalantly.
At this time, the expression of the Flash Thunder Demon Lord seemed a bit hesitant.
"Is there anything else?" Xu Fan asked.
"Great Elder, Qing'er is pregnant again. I want to ask for a fetus-nurturing elixir." The Flash Thunder Demon Lord stated somewhat bashfully.
"Alright, when I'm free, I'll help refine a potful for you."
For some reason, Xu Fan suddenly thought of his own wife.
"Seems like it has been a long time since we last met." Xu Fan raised his head, looking at the sky as he said this.
