Chapter 491: Chapter 464: Ice Tribe
“That’s normal.” Xu Fan responded upon hearing Zhan Ling’s words.
In ordance with the cliches of novels, protagonists often find themselves in the midst of a grand world conflict. If the Human n were the strongest, how could they grow from that?
“As long as you’re prepared for it.” Zhan Ling nodded, seemingly satisfied with his response.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Zhan Ling then excused himself, leaving Xu Fan alone.
“Since one of the Sect’s major forces has ascended, I suppose I should make a few more railguns topensate.” Xu Fan looked up at the bear-shaped cloud in the sky, named Number Two, and mumbled to himself.
Following Xu Fan’smand, the Demon Race Refiner Grandmasters in the underground space of the Hidden Spirit Sect began to busily make preparations.
Under the guidance of avatars Number One and Number Two, these Demon Race Refiner Grandmasters’ artifact refining capabilities have been on the rise.
For some highly important Dao artifacts, there wasn’t even a need for avatars Number One and Number Two to step in; the Demon Race Refiner Grandmasters alone could easily refine them.
Xu Fan recently felt his sect became unrivaled in the world.
However, the moment Number Two ascended, he felt like he was back to the battleground again.
“Having just Elder Lin to hold the fort… it doesn’t quite feel right,” he uttered to himself. Although his Sect appears to have the railgun, a potent weapon that can instantly kill a Demon Venerable Level opponent…
Only Xu Fan knew of the fatal ws within the railgun.
If we were to use Zhan Ling’s example, a Demon Venerable with an overallbat power lower than his could be easily killed by a single st.
Those with a power levelparable to Zhan Ling could only be injured and then would easily escape.
Thest scenario is what Xu Fan fears most.
If he encountered a Demon Venerable with noticeably higher overallbat power than Zhan Ling, like the likes of Nine Swords Venerable or Mysterious Green Venerable…
If he decided not to flee with his entire Sect, then it would certainly mean doom.
He initially thought that with Number Two, this gap could be filled…
But now that Number Two has ascended, Xu Fan felt almost half as secure.
“Pu Tao, bring out all the Dao artifact-level and Immortal artifact-level spiritual ores in the Sect. I want to review them,” Xu Fanmanded.
Survival is of utmost importance. We’ll worry about the loose endster.
At this moment, a light curtain appeared in front of Xu Fan.
“My goodness, the moment my wife appeared, she instantly doubled my list of resources,” he sighed.
Upon saying this, Xu Fan was again reminded of his wonderful wife.
“Dao-Artifact level spiritual ores: Ten-Thousand mes Essence, Star God Mysterious Iron, Spirit …”
“Immortal-Artifact level spiritual ores: Immortal Spirit Iron, Yixuan Stone, Water-suppressing Source …”
While reviewing and mumbling to himself, Xu Fan was ruminating over the various heavy weaponry he could potentially create, any of which could make an average Demon Venerable tremble in fear.
It wasn’t until he reviewed the entire list that he let out a subtle sigh.
He felt as if he had hit a bottleneck. The deadly weapons that he hade up with during his tedious bouts of pondering – each and every one of them was useless against a Demon Venerable withbat power higher than Zhan Ling.
At most they could only drive them away.
“I can only ce more railguns in the Demon World. As long as I don’t overreach, the Demon World should be fine.” Xu Fan thought for a moment before saying.
After saying this, Xu Fan began to calcte.
“There’s still 2000 years until I reach the Continuation Stage.”
“Once I’ve passed through this period and advanced to the Void Refining Stage, I will be a true Artifact Refining Grandmaster,” Xu Fan dered.
“I refuse to believe that an Immortal level railgun cannot obliterate you,” Xu Fan boldly announced.
He then ordered Pu Tao to stabilize the territories in the Demon World and not to expand excessively.
“Next, I will strive to acquire more resource mines through various channels.”
“If only my beloved grand-disciple were here now, we would have nothing to worry about just by shearing more wool.” Xu Fanughed. he was merely entertaining the thought, knowing it would be prudent not to exploit too much from such a big shot.
“I wonder how my beloved grand-disciple is doing in the Extreme North Territory, I hope nothing serious happened,” Xu Fan voiced out.
Extreme North Territory, outside of the Tianyuan Immortal City.
Han Feiyu, Iron Tower, and Iron Blue were hunting a Nascent Soul Stage Ice Tribe member.
At this point, Han Feiyu had advanced to the Golden Core Stage level, and his internal energy was even more robust than the Golden Core Stage peak.
“Old Iron, once we capture this Nascent Soul Stage Ice Tribe member, we will havepleted our task quota for this month,” Han Feiyu stated.
“Afterpleting the task, I must return to the Immortal City and have a good sleep.”
“Damn, the cultivation world is too dangerous now,” Iron Tower grumbled.
“Alright, big brother, save yourints. Without Brother Feiyu, we would probably be dead at the hands of the Ice Tribe by now.” Iron Blue, who was inspecting the trap formation they had set up, uttered adamantly.
“I understand.” Iron Tower began to focus his attention on the enemy entrapment formation.
Han Feiyu stayed silent, cidly watching the scene unfold, lost in his thoughts.
Years ago, after he fled to Tianyuan Immortal City and purchased some daily necessities, nning to hit the road again, he found that the teleportation array in his sect was dysfunctional.
Even the highest-grade Fairy Jade and Immortal Crystals could not operate this array.
Meanwhile, the Ice Tribe, buried and dormant in the Extreme North Territory for untold millennia, had awakened. As a loose cultivator without a Sect or backing, he naturally became a foot soldier on the front lines against the Ice Tribe.
Iron Tower and Iron Blue were also rescued during that time.
Subsequently, the three teamed up to establish a small Ice Tribe trading team, delivering a certain quota of Ice Tribe members each month to avoid serving on the front lines.
At that moment, arge Mysterious Ice Bird, a form that the Ice Tribe excelled at transforming into, flew across the sky.
Now, Han Feiyu was holding a Spirit Crystal ready for the Mysterious Ice Bird to fly over this area and activate the thirty-six Locked Spirit Array to instantly trap the bird.
Han Feiyu lightly used a tactic, exposing the Spirit Crystal hidden by the Small Locking Spirit Array.
The glow reflected from the surface of the Spirit Crystal by the sun instantly caught the attention of the Mysterious Ice Bird.
The scene was as if a normal person walking down an empty street suddenly saw a mound of ten stacks of gold off in the distance.
The Mysterious Ice Bird flying in the sky showed vignce in its eyes.
It began to release its Divine Sense to examine the surroundings for potential ambush by alien races.
Under the Mysterious Ice Bird’s scrutiny, another stack of Spirit Crystal was discovered.
Now, the Mysterious Ice Bird’s eyes were even more alert. It began to circle around the two stacks of Spirit Crystals, and the direction of its rotation happened to be right inside the thirty-six Locked Spirit Array. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“It seems theter stage of the n is unnecessary,” Han Feiyu’s mouth curved upward, a trace of a smile appearing in his eyes.
“The practical small techniques taught in the Sect’s manual for going outside are indeed very handy – killing enemies, trapping enemies, sneak attacks, assassinations, it’s useful in all situations,” Han Feiyu thought.
He never thought that a simple Jade Slip manual that serves as a guide for going outside the sect could be of such great help multiple times.
