Chapter 1388: Spatial Puppet

Zhao Tie gazed at the blazing flames of the Holy Sun Star, activating the full power of his holy body as he plunged directly toward it. The Hidden Spirit Sect disciples watching the live stream were electrified with excitement. Those from the Body Refinement Lineage, especially those stuck at the peak of the saint realm, were glued to the screen, not wanting to miss a single detail.

As Zhao Tie landed on the surface of the Holy Sun Star, he first felt a gentle warmth, but it quickly intensified into a searing heat. The sensation traveled through his holy body and into his spirit. At that moment, Zhao Tie felt like a chick trapped inside an eggshell, ready to break free with just a little effort.

"Brothers! I feel it coming!" Zhao Tie exclaimed with excitement. Suddenly, an extraordinary aura emanated from him, like a coiled serpent that had been dormant for millennia, now ready to soar into the heavens. The Hidden Spirit Sect disciples watching the live stream could sense his rising momentum. If he held on a little longer, he would undoubtedly ascend to the Great Saint level.

Just as everyone thought this method was working, a sudden, scorching pain pierced his spirit like a needle. In an instant, his holy body and spirit were utterly obliterated. A small tadpole appeared in the Hidden Spirit Sect’s reincarnation pool. The live stream shifted to show the tadpole slowly evolving, eventually transforming back into Zhao Tie.

"Brothers, after careful calculation, the optimal position is between half a light armor region to one light armor region near the Holy Sun Star," Zhao Tie said weakly. Though the reincarnation pool could revive him, he returned only at the level of an average saint. To regain his former strength, he would need to train all over again.

"Brothers, cherish this data. I paid for it with my life," Zhao Tie continued. "And now, I shamelessly ask you all to help me gather a Chaos Celestial Pill." Before he could finish, he noticed the live stream’s audience had dropped by 80%. In the blink of an eye, the remaining viewers vanished too.

"So heartless… I lost my life for this," Zhao Tie sighed, staring at the empty live stream.

Just then, Grape’s voice echoed in his ear. "The Grand Elder watched your live stream. Your courage is commendable, so he rewards you with two Chaos Celestial Pills." Two white jade gourds materialized in front of Zhao Tie.

"Thank you, Grand Elder!" Zhao Tie’s spirits soared. These two top-tier body refinement elixirs from the sect could fully restore him to his peak—or even push him further.

"Sometimes, effort yields no fruit, while chance brings unexpected rewards…" Zhao Tie hummed a cheerful tune, his earlier disappointment completely forgotten.

In the courtyard, Xu Fan chuckled and turned off the live stream.

At that moment, several teleportation formations appeared within the range of one light armor from the Holy Sun Star.

Many body refinement disciples began to temper their holy bodies in this area.

“Life~” Xu Fan waved his hand, and a vibrant fruit flew out from a tree in the life-star, which was about to transform into a heavenly spirit root, landing in Xu Fan’s hand.

Xu Fan took the spiritual fruit and gently bit into it, instantly flooded with a wonderful feeling.

“Haha, this fruit is extraordinary—it’s from the top-tier spirit tree beneath the heavenly spirit roots!” Xu Fan said as he quickly ate the entire fruit.

Just then, Zhang Weiyun stepped out from a spatial gate, holding some fruits.

“Husband, these are some delicious spiritual fruits I found in the life-star,” Zhang Weiyun said with a smile.

Looking at the colorful spiritual fruits, Xu Fan and Zhang Weiyun began to taste them together.

“Husband, you should eat more of this.”

“Grape told me this is a Multi-Child Fruit; after eating it, it will be very easy to conceive children, and one pregnancy can yield several offspring.” Zhang Weiyun handed Xu Fan a bunch of fruits resembling grapes.

“Such marvelous things exist.” Xu Fan took one, ate half, and suddenly made a face that showed he found it too sour.

“Why is it so sour?!” Xu Fan felt sourness all through his spirit and body.

“That’s strange; why is mine sweet?” Zhang Weiyun took the other half and began to eat.

“It is sweet~”

“Master, this Multi-Child Fruit makes men feel sour while women experience sweetness. Moreover, the more you eat, the better the effect,” Grape’s voice quietly chimed in.

“Grape, please help me gather a basket of these Multi-Child Fruits from the life-star,” Zhang Weiyun said with shining eyes.

“Understood.”

Not long after, a basket filled with grape-like Multi-Child Fruits appeared before the two.

“Husband, don’t be afraid of the sourness; let’s eat more.” Zhang Weiyun offered a piece to Xu Fan.

“Weiyun, this is too sour; can I skip eating it?” Looking at the bunch of Multi-Child Fruits, Xu Fan felt acidity rising again.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Zhang Weiyun’s eyes became watery.

“Husband, for all these years, I always…”

As she spoke, tears glistened in her eyes.

“Alright, I’ll eat!”

Xu Fan held back his discomfort and let Zhang Weiyun feed him a basket of Multi-Child Fruits.

Then they were taken into a room and began to engage in playful activities.

In the First Transfer Exchange World of District 2, the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple stationed there handed a divine object over to a special puppet.

Once the puppet received the divine object, it quickly vanished from the First Transfer Exchange World.

It then sped through the Chaotic Mist Area at an astonishing pace, heading towards the direction of the Three Thousand Realms.

As the speed of the puppet traveling through space increased, it seemed to suddenly break through a bottleneck upon reaching a certain location, instantly plunging into the depths of chaotic space.

Then, taking advantage of the spatial rebound force, it flew outward.

Shortly thereafter, it re-emerged on the surface of space.

Then it broke through space again to accelerate, repeating the previous process.

Three years later, Xu Fan looked at the divine object in his hand and curiously asked, “Grape, have you figured out the spatial puppet?”

Xu Fan had long instructed Grape to autonomously research what the sect needed during downtime, and this spatial puppet was designed for super long-distance traversal.

“It’s not fully formed yet; some parameters and data need adjustments, but it can generally be put into operation now,” Grape replied.

A puppet gleaming with a glass-like luster appeared before Xu Fan.

The whole object seemed to breathe in and out as if partially hidden in space.

“Not bad, you’ve really worked hard for this divine object,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

He then returned the divine object to the treasury, allowing Number Five to help Grape with autonomous upgrades.

“Master, after Grape levels up, its computing power will increase exponentially.”

“Then we can easily calculate the perfect operation mode for integrating the four different attribute stars from the life-star,” Grape assured.

“Got it~” Xu Fan waved his hand.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly felt a message come from Avatar Number Three.

“Something has happened at the boundary battlefield; I need to go check it out.”
