Chapter 699: Chapter 672: Slaying the Heavenly Mechanism
In a wilderness area of Linsen Immortal City, several Demonic Wolves who were devouring a small beast suddenly looked up at the sky.
They saw the area where they were in instantly darken, turning into a pitch-black scene.
A massive island floated into view, hovering tens of thousands of feet in the sky.
An island with three satellite isles.
At this point, Hidden Spirit Island had completely transformed into a Floating Island.
Xu Fan stood at the edge of the Floating Island, gazing down at the Wild Land below.
"Ever since I woke up from my thousand-year coma, I felt that our Hidden Spirit Sect's strength was no longer something that used to seek refuge and escape."
"But I didn't expect the whims of fate to turn out like this." Xu Fan sighed.
"Master, the Purple Jade Jiaolong is the strongest existence in the Demon Clan. We have no choice but to settle for this."
"I believe that once Master gets promoted to the Esteemed One, he will definitely suppress him." Xu Gang said by the side.
"If Master had been born a thousand years earlier, that Purple Jade Jiaolong would have been nothing more than a ground snake beneath his feet." Wang Xiangchi said.
"Master, are we really going to the Demon World next?" Li Xingchi asked.
Xu Fan nodded his head.
"The reason the Purple Jade Jiaolong wanted to kill me was that he felt I posed too great a threat to their Demon Clan."
"Relatively speaking, we should also give them back a taste of their medicine."
Xu Fan's gaze had a hint of coldness, as if to say, "You picked the wrong person to bully."
When a lazy person decides to rise and become active, you will know what kind of trouble you have caused.
"After I set up a formation to cut off the cause and effect in the periphery, we will head to the Demon World."
"To give and not receive is impolite! Today I will make an enemy of the Demon Clan." Xu Fan said determinedly.
"We will always follow our Master. Our Master's vengeance is our vengeance." The several disciples standing next to Xu Fan promptly said.
At that moment, an unusual aura emerged from the Refining Equipment Peak.
"Your Uncle Sha probably researched some good stuff. I'll go check it out first. You guys should also prepare yourselves. After arriving in the Demon World, everyone will participate in the battle."
"Consider it a form of training."
"Pu Tao, notify all the sect disciples to prepare for the battle!"
After finishing his words, Xu Fan transformed into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
On the Refining Equipment Peak, Sha Du held a small piece of Immortal Artifact Level Universal Metal Alloy in his hand, looking somewhat emotional.
"Senior Brother Sha, is this the newly-researched Universal Metal Alloy?" Xu Fan looked at the small piece of Universal Metal Alloy in Sha Du's hand and asked.
"If nothing goes wrong, it should be." Sha Du sounded a little unconfident.
At that moment, Sha Du seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Great Master, has there been any abnormal changes in the sect recently?" Sha Du asked.
"We were on the hit list of the most powerful Demon Venerable of the Demon Clan. I was targeted for assassination, but I have driven them away for now." Xu Fan roughly recounted the events that transpired.
"When I was researching the Universal Metal Alloy before, I always felt like something was missing, but at the instant Hidden Spirit Island was teleporting, this Universal Metal Alloy was completed in the blink of an eye."
"After that, I refined this piece of Immortal Artifact-Level Universal Metal Alloy."
"If I want to refine it in bulk, I'll need to conduct some more experiments." Sha Du said.
"No problem, Senior Brother Sha, go ahead with your cultivation. From now on, during the teleportation of Hidden Spirit Island, I will have Pu Tao remind you." Xu Fan said.
He looked at the Universal Metal Alloy in Sha Du's hand and suddenly felt that the main material for the entire Hidden Spirit Island was already in place.
"That's fine. I will speed up my research so that the items I refine can help the Great Master." Sha Du said.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Sha," said Xu Fan gratefully.
"Great Master, it's no big deal. Without you, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today," Sha replied earnestly.
"What I meant was that the alloy Senior Brother Sha refined will be a great help to me," Xu Fan explained with a smile.
In the recent past, the entire Hidden Spirit Sect had started to mobilize.
Disciples who were away began to return, and both Refining Equipment Peak and Alchemy Peak busied themselves.
The whole sect was filled with a shared sense of purpose and determination against their enemy.
All the disciples knew that their Great Master was bullied by the Demon Clan, and now it was time for them to strike back.
Zhang Xueling sat on the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion, overlooking the bustling scene of the entire sect and started planning.
At this moment, Xu Fan's voice reached his ears.
"I heard you've been researching formations lately. Come over and give me a hand."
Before Zhang Xueling could respond, a teleportation array appeared under his feet, transporting him to Xu Fan's side.
The two of them stood atop a Hidden Spirit Array.
"Great Master, what do you need me to do?" Zhang Xueling asked.
"These are the positions for the nodes of the Celestial Killing Array. Here are the materials. You just need to instruct the Demon Race refiner grandmasters to set them up," Xu Fan said, handing over a Jade Slip and a Space Ring to Zhang Xueling.
"The Celestial Killing Array!" Zhang Xueling exclaimed in shock.
"This formation isn't difficult. I'll draw the core formation while you take care of the outer parts," Xu Fan said as he controlled several temporary avatars to draw the formation in the core area.
"As you command, Great Master," Zhang Xueling replied with a bow.
"Get to it."
Upon Zhang Xueling's departure, Xu Fan couldn't help feeling a bit emotional. The sect had many talented formation experts, but in all these years, there had not been a single Master of array methods.
This made him realize the difficulty of cultivating specialized talents.
Though Xu Fan hadn't given his heart to teaching them, Pu Tao had been the all-around guide for any qualified disciples, helping them reach the threshold of becoming a Grandmaster.
Over the years, the entire sect had only produced two Refining Masters and one Alchemy Master.
At this moment, after Xu Fan had just instructed the avatars to draw the framework of the formation, Zhang Daqi flew over with two Demon Race Refiner Grandmasters.
"Master, the nodes in that area are under control," Zhang Daqi reported respectfully.
"Set these up as well."
Xu Fan handed Zhang Daqi a Jade Slip and two Space Rings.
It was a foolproof operation; success would come as long as one followed the installation process, but a basic understanding of formations was required.
Inside Refining Room No. 3 of the Refining Equipment Peak, Er Tie handed over the freshly forged Dao Artifact-level Spiritual Sword to Xiang Yun.
"This is the last one. Fortunately, I finished them for you before fighting the Demon Clan," Er Tie said with a smile.
"With these six Dao Artifact Spiritual Swords, my Six-cleave Flying Star Sword Array can display its greatest power."
"Master Er Tie, thank you for your hard work," Xiang Yun said gratefully with a smile.
"Senior Brother Xiang Yun, don't make fun of me. You know how I became a Refining Master, right?" Er Tie said, scratching his head awkwardly.
According to his master, after hammering spiritual swords with an iron hammer for over a thousand years, if he couldn't forge Dao Artifact-level components, he might as well dig a hole and bury himself.
"In any case, you are still a Refining Master."
"With these six Dao Artifact Spiritual Swords, I'll kill that share of the Demon Clan for you, Master Er Tie," Xiang Yun declared resolutely.
"Don't just focus on killing the enemy. Remember to look after my good-for-nothing little sister on the battlefield," Er Tie said.
"Of course."
