My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

In the Vast Void Domain, inside a starship marked with the emblem of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.

"Sigh~" Feng Changning and the National Division heaved a sigh simultaneously.

"You shouldn't have promised the Great Master a pie in the sky," said the National Division.

"I was not promising a pie in the sky. It's my commitment," replied Feng Changning, her face expressing a trace of worry.

After she made the promise, the Great Master's attitude towards them was a definite indication that they had no chance whatsoever.

"You may not understand what it signifies when the Great Master suppressed the Incarnation of Golden Winged Roc and turned the Purple Jade Jiaolong and the Gold-devouring Tiger into game," The National Division stared into the profound starry river outside the window and said.

"The strongest in the Cultivation World, reaching the pinnacle of the world, didn't you tell me that?" Feng Changning asked, puzzled.

"Those who have reached that level are even given a thought by the Heavenly Dao of This World."

"As long as the Great Master is in the Cultivation World, you shouldn't dream of rising up."

"If the Great Master is willing, the Hidden Spirit Sect can become the most substantial power in the Cultivation World in an instant."

"But he didn't do it, and it's evident that his heart is not here. Your promises are useless to the Great Master." The National Division told her, somewhat helplessly.

"But before Elder Zhang, we have almost nothing impressive left to offer." Feng Changning too felt helpless.

Before coming, she contemplated various possibilities but found that not a single thing could move the Great Master; hence, the promise she made earlier.

"We should plan early. The Yu Zhou is already successfully refined; all that remains is to start trading in other Middle Thousand Worlds."

"Moreover, let's see if we can encounter high-quality small worlds in the Star Sea. This is also a way out," said the National Division.

"We have to. We can use this opportunity to negotiate with Elder Zhang to see if they can meet our conditions," Feng Changning mulled over and said.

"We must maintain a good relationship with the Great Master now and in the future. As long as this friendship endures, once the Great Master ascends above Da Luo in the future, he might assist our Immortal Dynasty in taking the most crucial step."

"But, in the early stages, we must strengthen ourselves to accumulate what it takes for the Great Master to lend a hand," said the National Division.

Feng Changning nodded then turned to gaze in the direction of Hidden Spirit Island. Her eyes were a mix of emotions. When the Nine Phoenix Dynasty was developing fastest, she had the illusion that her dynasty was stronger than the Hidden Spirit Gate and even the Great Master.

Unfortunately, it was just an illusion.

At this time, Xu Fan and his good brothers were fishing.

Wang Yulun was talking about some peculiar things he had fished recently.

Xu Fan was sharing his experiences in South Mountain World.

"Never thought that the stone compass was a cross-border transfer array. It's truly a divine artifact."

"It is connected and capable of transferring who knows how many billion trillion miles between the two worlds," Wang Yulun exclaimed.

"It's not a very complicated matter. The most difficult point is to have cross-border transfer arrays with the same frequency connected with each other." Xu Fan smiled and said.

"By the way, not long ago, Pang Fu told me that the price of those three bellybands at the auction was almost equivalent to half the price of an Immortal Tool."

"Especially that second-hand bellyband, it has garnered the admiration and pursuit of numerous cultivators. If you have free time, you might consider catching some more of these things," Xu Fan joked.

"Can I control what I catch?"

"Besides, do you perceive me as that type of person, Brother Xu?"

Wang Yulun responded seriously. At that moment, the rod in his hands sank. Something was hooked again.

With a yank, a strikingly charming woman in a semi-transparent gauze dress was hoisted up from the water.

This woman now appeared blank, her body as stiff as a puppet.

"This thing..." Xu Fan looked at the woman, who was now like a puppet, and said.

"It's like a puppet, just with some special functionality." Xu Fan stroked his chin, his eyes shining with insight, as he sized up the woman.

"It should be for those male cultivators who have just embarked on dual cultivation."

"You're not wrong, some of the rune arrays on it are quite novel." Xu Fan said with a laugh.

"This... how come I keep hooking these strange and curious things lately?" Wang Yulun said somewhat embarrassingly.

"I don't know, but I think it must have something to do with your daily thoughts. Otherwise, how could you hook such things?" Xu Fan said with a laugh.

"Brother Xu, don't wrong me!" Wang Yulun said loudly.

"Let's sell this thing to Pang Fu. Maybe it'll fetch a good price."

"If you want to use it yourself, just disregard what I said."

With a flick of his rod, Xu Fan pulled up a foot-long green-tailed fish.

The puppet standing by, already prepared, scooped up the green-tailed fish in a large net and flew it to the cafeteria.

Wang Yulun watched the foot-long green-tailed fish with a bit of envy.

He remembered how carefree he was years ago when he didn't catch as many weird thing, and when he could occasionally catch some real fish. Now, he no longer had anything to do with such living creatures.

"By the way, Brother Xu, I've been having some insights while fishing lately, and I think I might be crossing the tribulation soon." Wang Yulun said.

Xu Fan was stunned, this was moving a bit fast.

Then a hand landed on Wang Yulun's shoulder, beginning a detailed examination of his body.

"The rate seems a bit fast, let me check and see if there's anything wrong." Xu Fan said.

After a round of examination, Xu Fan took back his hand.

"Not bad, it seems the cultivation technique I created exclusively for you really suits you."

"I'll create some divine abilities exclusively for you soon." Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Recently, many in the sect are ready to cross the tribulation, including Xu Gang and your old two, your eldest brother should be ready soon too."

"It seems necessary to find a secluded place to set up a big formation for crossing the tribulation."

Xu Fan baited the hook, threw his fishing rod into the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake.

"Our sect is becoming stronger and stronger, no longer a small sect that had to flee all over the place just because of a demon venerable." Wang Yulun said with a laugh.

"Yeah, actually we found those days more interesting. Unlike now, there doesn't seem to be a worthy opponent when I look around." Xu Fan looked at the distant surface of the lake, somewhat nostalgic.

"Aren't there three supreme venerables in the South Mountain World? You could challenge them." His good brother Wang Yulun refused to indulge his good big brother's bragging.

"If I go to the South Mountain World to challenge the supreme venerable, and get really serious, I could really break their world by taking on all three."

"We're all part of the Human Clan, we should take care of each other." Xu Fan said.

At that, Star, who rode a tens-of-feet one-horned giant snake, arrived on the island.

"Uncle Xu, godfather, hello." Star greeted with a smile.

"How did you find the Vast Void Domain?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

"I felt that those vast void giant beasts were so weak, and they didn't taste good either." Star said, frowning.

"..."

"The Cultivation World doesn't have many vast void beasts, so you can check out the Demon World if you have time." Xu Fan suggested after thinking for a moment.

"I won't go there to play in the future, it's all just rocks." Star said, making a face.
