Chapter 485: Chapter 458: Abstinence Gathering Spirit Array.
Qingxuan Venerable looked at her disciple, a look of guilt flashing in her eyes.

In her life, she never owed anyone anything except for this disciple of hers.

To navigate the trials and tribulations of the journey into the Great Thousand World, her disciple had to shoulder enormous risks to actualize this plan.

Qingxuan Venerable’s gaze reminded Zhang Weiyun of the time when she was first accepted as a disciple by her master.

“I am taking you as a disciple for you to help me break through the great trials of life and death.”

“You can take all of my inheritance and all the magical treasures and spiritual objects I leave after I ascend.”

At that time, Qingxuan Venerable’s tone was very cold and somewhat indifferent.

All she had asked then was one question.

“Will you consider me as your real disciple?”

Then, something unexpected seemed to flash across Qingxuan Venerable’s eyes before she nodded and said, “You will be the only disciple of Qingxuan Venerable.”

“Then you are my master from now on.”

Since then, the master and disciple had always been together.

“Don’t worry about me, my disciple, these years, I have gathered quite a few items that contain Qi fortune. With the secret method, it can last about ten-thousand years in the Great Thousand World.”

“So, I have put all my hopes on you.” Qingxuan Venerable said with a smile.

“Don’t worry, Master, leave this matter to me,” Zhang Weiyun assured, patting her chest.

“Alright, let’s head to the Extreme North Territory now,” Qingxuan Venerable said contentedly.

“Let’s go, master, and try to find some more Immortal Tools for my husband,” Zhang Weiyun said with a laugh.

“You little ingrate, once you have a husband, you forget about your master,” Qingxuan Venerable couldn’t help but laugh.

At this moment, Xu Fan found himself in his courtyard, staring at the empty courtyard while letting out a sigh.

“It’s only been a month, and I’m already unaccustomed to living alone.”

Xu Fan said somewhat dejectedly, lying on a lounge chair.

Gazing at a cloud in the sky that looked like Bear Second, Xu Fan felt slightly better.

At this moment, a light streaked across the sky.

Xu Yuexian appeared in Xu Fan’s courtyard.

“Master, are you still thinking about Master’s Wife?” Xu Yuexian asked softly.

“It’s written all over my face, do you still need to ask~” Xu Fan said lazily, adjusting his position on the lounge chair.

“Can’t Master hold Master’s Wife back?” Xu Yuexian asked curiously.

Now is not like before when a Demon Venerable of Mahayana battle power could make Xu Fan escape with the Hidden Spirit Sect.

The power that Hidden Spirit Sect now possesses is enough to contend with a top-tier sect in the Cultivation World.

“There are things your Master’s Wife needs to handle. I can’t hold her back,” Xu Fan shook his head.

Before, he had divined for Zhang Weiyun and found out that his wife had a great cause and effect entanglement.

Recently, within that sweet month, Xu Fan used up a lot of Merit and Destiny to calculate another divination for his wife.

He thought that with the power he has now, he should be able to solve the matter regarding his wife’s master.

However, when Xu Fan calculated, apart from being unharmed, everything else was just a hazy fog.

Sorry, I’ve offended.

When this situation arises, Xu Fan knew that he couldn’t be of much help.

“It’s such a pity. Master hasn’t been reunited with Master’s Wife for long, and you are already experiencing the pain of separation?” Xu Yuexian said.

Xu Fan, lying on the lounge chair, glanced at Xu Yuexian.

“What do you want from your Master?” Xu Fan asked.

“Master, when I was controlling the puppet to hunt for treasures in the Demon World, I found a secret location there,” Xu Yuexian said, looking at Xu Fan with a pleasing expression.

“You want to go there in person~” Xu Fan said, furrowing his brow.

“All of my cultivation techniques and divine abilities were taught by you, master. The place is also not far from the Demon Clan’s base, so please agree~” Moon Immortal pleaded, with teary eyes, looking as if she would cry if he said no.

“Alright, alright, go. You’re hundreds of years old and yet you’re still acting like a child,” Xu Fan waved his hand and instructed Pu Tao to send a Demon Suppression Star loaded with a railgun for protection.

“Thank you, Master!” Xu Yuexian said excitedly. She had been confined in the Sect for so many years, now she finally could go out.

Just as Xu Yuexian was about to leave, Xu Fan’s relaxed voice came.

“From now on, you can go out freely, but you must remain within Pu Tao’s contact range.”

“Understood, Master,” Xu Yuexian replied gratefully.

The moment Xu Fan was planning to empty his mind and continue lazing around.

Pu Tao’s voice rang out.

“Master, the Void Refining Stage puppet production line in the underground space is now fully established.”

“In that case, let me check it out now since I’ve got nothing better to do.”

With that, Xu Fan rose and headed for the underground space.

In the underground space, by a huge Dao Artifact Level smelting furnace, there were several production lines being operated by tens of thousands of puppets and over a hundred Moon Fox Tribe Artifact Refiners.

Xu Fan walked to the end of the production line, which was where the Void Refining Stage puppets were finished.

“It wasn’t easy, but we finally have Void Refining Stage magical puppets.” Xu Fan said, looking at the successfully produced puppets.

“Fire Spirit Puppet, with Void Refining Middle Stage Battle Power, loads several dozens of Fire Attribute Divine Abilities, capable of continuous combat for three days when the energy chamber is full.”

Pu Tao shared detailed information about the Fire Spirit Puppet.

“How many Fire Spirit puppets can the energy in the Gathering Spirits Array sustain at full power?” Xu Fan asked.

“As long as we maintain the basic running of the sect, it can sustain up to 40,000 Void Refining Stage puppets simultaneously.”

“Including the sect’s spirit stone reserve, it can sustain up to 70,000 Void Refining Stage puppets simultaneously,” Pu Tao said.

“70,000 puppets, they are sufficient for now, but may not be in the future.”

“Should we upgrade the Gathering Spirits Array of our sect?” Xu Fan rubbed his chin as he spoke.

At this moment, a light curtain appeared before Xu Fan.

A map of the Lin Sen Immortal City Region was displayed on it, filled with numerous flickering illumination points.

The larger points represented a Demon Suppression Star, whereas the smaller ones were Sky-based Weapon Satellites.

The Demon Suppression Stars that were carrying railguns were represented by purple points.

Subsequently, another light curtain appeared by the side of the first one. This one showed a map with the Demon World base at the center, but it had fewer points.

Xu Fan glanced at the two maps, understanding what Pu Tao was getting at.

“The Sky-based Weapon Satellites had their Gathering Spirits Array, but they only supplied for their operations, and only a small amount of Spiritual Qi flowed into the Sect’s Grand Formation.”

As Pu Tao spoke, the points of light on the two light curtains started to change, finally taking the form of an Abstinence Gathering Spirit Array.

This formation was created by Xu Fan during those tedious 500 years.

Once this Gathering Spirits Array was in place, it sucked up all the surrounding Spiritual Qi like a blackhole. It left the area as barren as a desert after being swept by a locust swarm.

“You sure have a lot of ideas. That piece of Crystal Essence seems to have pushed your evolution quite a bit,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“My mission is to serve the Master and the Sect.”

“Hmm, good. You’ve really evolved.”

“When I get a chance, I will create a specific set of spiritual cultivation techniques for you.”

“Thank you, Master,” Pu Tao said excitedly.
