Chapter 1460: The Request from Huangshan

As soon as the fishing hook touched the surface of the lake and entered the void, a peculiar aura suddenly burst forth from the breach.

A massive oppressive force emerged, and a pair of emotionless eyes appeared above the Lake of Life, coldly staring at Xu Fan and Wang Yulun.

In that instant, both men felt as if their Holy Souls were frozen.

Wang Yulun’s eyes filled with fear.

Xu Fan’s expression turned slightly troubled as the power of the supreme law radiated from behind him.

Just as they were about to prepare for battle, an irresistible force appeared, pulling the giant eyes back into the void.

Once everything settled, Wang Yulun, still shaken, said, "What was that power just now? It could suppress such a terrifying presence."

The pressure from those giant eyes felt far more intense to Wang Yulun than the combined presence of the Thirteen Holy Lords.

"I’m not sure either, but your fishing hook must have entered a forbidden and indescribable place, triggering the will of a powerful being guarding it," Xu Fan analyzed.

"The will of a powerful being is indeed terrifying."

"When you first cast the fishing hook, were you thinking about catching a Supreme Divine Artifact for me?" Xu Fan asked.

"Yes, nowadays, only a Supreme Divine Artifact suits Big Brother Xu’s status."

"Then don’t aim for the strongest; look for something weaker instead. No need to seek out danger," Xu Fan instructed, waving his hand to reveal two Qinghan Fruits, one for each of them.

"Okay, I’ll listen to Big Brother Xu."

In the Feiyu Realm, the fourth generation sect leader of the Hidden Spirit Sect looked reluctantly at his disciples.

At this moment, under the construction of the Hidden Spirit Sect, the Feiyu Realm had already matched the strength of an ordinary Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, after Xu Fan’s transformative teachings that spread across the realm, the current Feiyu Realm had come to rival the former Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

"Sect Leader, let’s return to the Upper World sect!" an Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect said.

"No, we cannot return to the Upper World sect until we meet my minimum standards," the fourth generation sect leader declared firmly.

"Sect Leader, it’s too difficult for all three hundred million disciples to reach the quasi-saint realm," the Elder said with a bitter expression.

"You all know the situation in the Upper World sect; even a Spirit Rabbit from the demon division is a Golden Immortal."

"The outer disciples generally have the strength of a Saint, and the inner sect is full of Great Saints."

"With our sect’s current level, who would respect us if we ascend to the Upper World sect?"

"So, we must strengthen ourselves; having all disciples at the quasi-saint realm is the minimum standard. Otherwise, how can we face ascending to the Upper World and receiving those benefits?"

The fourth generation sect leader waved his hand, and a countdown of one million years appeared above Hidden Spirit Island.

"All disciples of the sect, listen up. We will ascend to the Upper World sect in one million years."

"At that time, anyone who has not reached the quasi-saint realm will remain at the fifth generation Hidden Spirit Sect."

Three hundred million Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples looked up at the million-year countdown, their expressions filled with difficulty.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect of the Feiyu Realm, nearly eighty percent of the disciples had already reached the Great Luo realm.

“Sect Leader…”

An Elder was about to speak, but the fourth generation sect leader raised his hand to stop him.

“No need to say more; my decision is final.”

This scene was captured and displayed to Xu Fan and Wang Yulun by Grape.

“I was wondering why the fourth generation of the Hidden Spirit Sect hasn’t ascended yet. Turns out they have such grand ambitions,” Xu Fan said in awe.

“It’s quite remarkable. Staying in the lower realm for so long, they’ve practically transformed the Feiyu Realm into an Immortal Realm.”

“This fourth generation sect leader is a real tough guy,” Wang Yulun added, equally impressed.

“At first, I also noticed the Hidden Spirit Sect in the lower realm. I thought about bringing them in as outer disciples after ascending, and then letting them into the inner sect once they became Saints.”

“Given his performance today, I bet it won’t be long before they all become Saints and join the inner sect,” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

“Master, the major forces have prepared the large worlds as requested,” Grape’s voice suddenly chimed in.

“Link these large worlds with teleportation formations and inform the major forces. Let them handle the rest,” Xu Fan said casually.

These large worlds might have been appealing before, but now they’re just a minor boost for the human race’s future.

“Understood.”

Soon, all major forces of the human race got the news: six large worlds were up for grabs.

As long as they followed Grape’s rules, they could claim as much as they wanted.

The human race was buzzing with excitement.

Countless Star Ship fleets launched from the Hidden Spirit Sect, heading straight for the six large worlds.

The top-tier powerful beings from those major forces used teleportation formations to reach the large worlds directly.

“Master, Yuan Lord, Huangshan is here to see you.”

“Bring him in.”

With a wave of his hand, Xu Fan summoned a tea table, complete with two cups of fragrant tea.

Yuan Lord Huangshan stepped through the spatial gate and bowed to Xu Fan.

“Greetings, Holy One of the Human Race…”

Xu Fan cut him off.

“No need for formalities. Sit down and have some tea,” Xu Fan said, gesturing to the seat.

Once seated, Yuan Lord seemed a bit hesitant.

“Just say what’s on your mind; we’ve been friends for ages,” Xu Fan encouraged.

“I… well, let Huangshan explain,” Yuan Lord said, giving up after a moment.

“I saw Grape’s message. The Yuanshi Sect wants to claim a large world,” Huangshan stated.

“That’s fine. As long as it benefits the human race, even two large worlds wouldn’t be a problem.”

Xu Fan didn’t mind at all and even supported the Yuanshi Sect’s plan.

The Yuanshi Sect was in a tricky spot. Once the leader of the human race for countless epochs, it now found itself overshadowed by the rise of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

All major forces were watching, sensing a clash between the two sects was inevitable.

In this tense situation, the Yuanshi Sect started considering leaving the Three Thousand Realms to establish a new large world.

“With the Hidden Spirit Sect around, the Yuanshi Sect’s survival isn’t as crucial.”

“I feel that way, but others in the sect don’t agree,” Yuan Lord said with a shrug.

Huangshan, sipping his tea, shot Yuan Lord a sharp look.

“Since you’re thinking along those lines, I’d like to ask for your help again.”

A three-dimensional map centered on the Three Thousand Realms appeared, highlighting eight large worlds.

“This large world is already here, conveniently close to the one you received.”

“Grape has scouted it and found no unified force.”

“So, I want to hand it over to the Yuanshi Sect, letting all the races inside become vassals of the human race.”
