Spirit Creator

Spirit Creator

Wang Yulun looked at Xu Fan, utterly speechless. Wasn't shaking all realms every man's dream?

"Brother Xu, I feel that with your abilities, you'll definitely ascend to the Immortal World in the end and become the thirty-ninth Grandmaster of our Heavenly Gate Sect."

"Then I can become a disciple at your side and ascend to the Immortal World with you."

Wang Yulun spoke with a face full of longing. In the Feather Realm, when one passed the Heavenly Tribulation and ascended at last, the World Will permitted them to bring along two Cultivators whose Cultivation Base was no lower than the Nascent Soul stage.

At that moment, Xu Fan, who was turning the roasting meat, glanced at Wang Yulun.

"You're still yearning for the Immortal World? Don't you know that the Immortal World is an even crueler place?"

"For Cultivators, it might even be a hell." As Xu Fan spoke, he recalled a novel he had read in his previous life.

"How could that be? That's the place all of us Cultivators dream of for our entire lives."

"That's you," Xu Fan said.

Even if he ascended to the Immortal World, wouldn't he still be a Salted Fish?

Xu Fan took two plates. High-Pressure Wind Blades shot from his fingertips, directly dividing the roasted meat in two and serving it onto the plates.

His fingers became afterimages as they swept across the two plates, and the meat instantly turned into countless pieces.

Seeing this, Wang Yulun's pupils contracted, and a trace of shock flashed through his eyes.

He was certain that even if he advanced to the upper levels of the Qi Refining Stage, he would not be able to wield spells as exquisitely as Xu Fan did.

"Come, eat up. The thigh meat of a Qi Refining Sixth Stage Beast is a tremendous tonic." Xu Fan smiled.

Wang Yulun accepted the roasted meat, then suddenly turned solemn. "Brother Xu, can I take you as my master?"

"You want to take me as your master? Is there something wrong with your head?"

"Didn't you say you had a chance to enter Class A Hall and receive personal instruction from a Void Refining Great Power?" Xu Fan looked at Wang Yulun in surprise.

"Brother Xu, do you know that I was born into a Small Cultivation Family? Although the strongest person in my family was only at the Golden Core Stage—"

"—one of my ancestors was a Spirit Transformation Cultivator."

After saying that, Wang Yulun looked at Xu Fan.

At once, Xu Fan became interested.

"And then? What are you trying to say?"

"Although my clan eventually declined, the travel journals left behind by that Spirit Transformation Ancestor opened the eyes of our entire clan."

"Our world is called the Feather Realm, and it is a Middle Thousand World."

"The Immortal World, meanwhile, is a Great Thousand World."

"Brother Xu, you were actually right. The Immortal World is an even crueler place."

Wang Yulun straightened up and continued, "The region where our Heavenly Gate Sect is located is a relatively impoverished area of the Feather Realm."

"On the Central Continent, that is the Holy Land of cultivation."

"On the Central Continent alone, there are no fewer than a hundred sects with Mahayana Cultivators."

"The number one sect there, the Heavenly Feather Sect, is the strongest sect in the entire Feather Realm."

As Wang Yulun explained, Xu Fan grew increasingly confused. What exactly was this youngster trying to say? Why did it feel like he had talked for so long without getting to the point? Still, this knowledge of the world had not been heard in vain.

"On the Central Continent, Cultivators have researched cultivation methods and spells down to their very essence, then fused and created new cultivation methods and spells."

"There, those who specialize in creating cultivation methods and spells are honored as Spirit Creators. Their status is even loftier than that of Top-Level Pill Refiners and Artifact Refiners."

"One of my ancestors wrote in his travel journals that he had personally seen Qi Refining Stage Heavenly Prides from sects with Top-Level Spirit Creators battling Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beasts."

At this moment, Wang Yulun stared at Xu Fan with blazing eyes. That gaze actually made Xu Fan feel somewhat dazzled.

"And Brother Xu, you possess the natural talent of a Spirit Creator."

"The two Spell Jade Slips you gave me—did you create them yourself? I dare say that our Heavenly Gate Sect absolutely does not possess such powerful Offensive and Killing Arts for the Qi Refining Stage."

"So, I want to take Brother Xu as my master."

As Wang Yulun spoke, he rose to perform the rites of master and disciple.

Just then, a serpentine black shadow coiled up from beneath Wang Yulun's feet, instantly binding him into a rice dumpling.

"You want to take me as your master? Dream on. You're already past eighteen; becoming my disciple is impossible." Xu Fan looked at Wang Yulun and spoke indifferently.

"However, since you know about my talent as a Spirit Creator—"

Xu Fan extended his index finger. A bewitching purple light flickered at its tip as it moved toward Wang Yulun's glabella.

At that moment, Wang Yulun could no longer keep himself together. Is he going to kill me to silence me?

"Brother Xu, you're the person I trust most. I absolutely won't reveal your secret of being a Spirit Creator."

"Don't kill me to silence me!" Wang Yulun shouted in a panic, feeling that he had played things too far.

"Kill someone? How could I? I'm merely a low-key Outer Sect Disciple. How could I kill anyone?"

As he spoke, Xu Fan's finger touched Wang Yulun's glabella.

"Crack~"

Xu Fan's fingertip pressed against Wang Yulun's glabella, and a streak of purple light entered Wang Yulun's mind.

Wang Yulun immediately entered a strange state.

Xu Fan brought down a pocket watch from his hand, and it began slowly swinging from side to side.

"You don't remember what just happened. You don't remember what just happened. You don't remember what just happened~~~"

Only after Wang Yulun's expression became vacant did Xu Fan release him from that state of entering his subconscious.

"Brother Xu, where did I get to just now?" Wang Yulun asked dazedly, shaking his head.

"You said you wanted to enter Class A Hall and learn a few unique skills from me," Xu Fan replied casually, beginning his assault on the roasted meat on his plate.

"That's right. I hope Brother Xu can help me."

As he spoke, Wang Yulun stood again and bowed to Xu Fan.

Was this some ancient person's common ailment? If they were not kneeling, then they were bowing.

"Alright, alright. Isn't it just a few unique skills? I'll help you. It's a simple matter." Xu Fan spoke casually.

He had already altered the memories in Xu Fan's mind concerning Spirit Creators. Even if someone mentioned Spirit Creators to him in the future, he would automatically overlook Xu Fan.

The Spiritual Light he had planted in Wang Yulun's glabella was a technique Xu Fan had created through the Soul Bewitching Art and Mind Illusion Art.

Spirit Creators sounded incredibly impressive. At first, Xu Fan had wanted to head to the Central Continent, reveal his talent as a Spirit Creator, and join the strongest sect.

But on second thought, the Central Continent was an unknown number of tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Heavenly Gate Sect. Who knew how many hardships and obstacles lay between them? After considering it further, he gave up.

It was better to keep a low profile. After all, staying alive meant growing stronger.

"Eat the roasted meat first. There's no rush about the unique skills."

"Alright."

After a wild feast, Wang Yulun left with his belly stuffed full, carrying a Jade Slip in complete satisfaction.

It was already deep into the night.

After returning to his room, Xu Fan took out a book recording common knowledge of the world and wrote down what he had heard today.

"This world seems more complicated than I imagined. The Heavenly Gate Sect is praised as powerful, but now it seems it probably cannot even rank among the rest."

"Spirit Creator—I've heard of it for the first time, but it makes quite a bit of sense."

"Spells in a cultivation world don't just appear out of thin air."

"Urp~~ Hic~~"

Xu Fan was getting rather drunk.

"I won't cultivate today. I'll be a Salted Fish for once. Anyway, working hard at cultivation is useless."
