My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Head bowed, Li Chufan stood beside Xu Fan, his heart heavy, feeling as though his recent progress was inconsequential.

“Compared to ordinary people, you are a genius, and you are somewhat stronger than the geniuses.”

“But compared to a Celestial Favorite, you are nothing.” Xu Fan said to his favored grand-disciple.

“Master Ancestor, I understand.”

“I will cherish the opportunity to be by your side.” Li Chufan said earnestly.

“No need to cherish it, it’s not like your Master Ancestor has much time left.” Xu Fan said with a wave of his hand and a laugh.

“Being by my side is mainly to help you understand the path for the future.”

“Yes, my dad also said the same thing to me.” Li Chufan responded.

“Then study well by my side and aim to surpass your grandpa in the future.” Xu Fan patted Li Chufan’s shoulder.

“Master Ancestor, when do you think I will be able to surpass grandpa?” Li Chufan’s eyes started to glow with fighting spirit.

“Probably, in about 1500 years.”

A bucket of cold water directly doused the flames of his newly ignited fighting spirit.

“Does it really take that long?”

“Stay calm and composed, don’t waste more energy on inevitable outcomes,” Xu Fan casually responded.

“Understood, Master Ancestor.”

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, the disciples of the Thousand Spirit Sect were soon to reach the end of their three-year term.

“Alas, I wanted to stay in the Hidden Spirit Sect for a few more years.” A Void Refining Stage disciple from the Thousand Spirit Sect said reluctant to leave.

As soon as he arrived at the Hidden Spirit Sect, he discovered that the Premium 5th Rank Magical Treasures here were surprisingly cheap, and could be exchanged for a small amount of points and Spirit Stones.

Naturally, the use of Spirit Stones was limited to a maximum of five items per person, while purchases with points had no limit.

What excited him most were the Dao Tools here. The points needed for redemption were so few that he felt he could afford them after a few decades of hard work.

“If only I could stay here for a few more decades, then I could definitely exchange for the Green Cloud Spirit Sword.” The Void Refining Stage disciple from the Thousand Spirit Sect said with a yearning look in his eyes.

“What’s so great about the Green Cloud Spirit Sword, isn’t the Pan Stone Armor enticing?”

“Such a rare armor Dao Tool, that is truly a prize beyond reach.” A Void Refining Stage disciple cultivating body refining from the Thousand Spirit Sect said regretfully.

“The Five Elements Dao Plate also seem quite nice~” Another Void Refining Stage disciple studying techniques said.

“Stop dwelling on this. When we go back, tell the sect about it. See if we can have the sect purchase those Dao tools using Spirit Stones and Spirit Ores.”

The suggestion reminded those Void Refining Stage disciples of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“Elder Cloud Show’s suggestion is good, upon our return, we will talk to the elders. Over these years, I have saved quite a bit at home, if I use all of it, it should be enough.”

A few Void Refining Stage disciples from the Thousand Spirit Sect, talked amongst each other and eventually steered the conversation to other topics.

In the Demon World, Xu Gang stood atop the Steel Great Wall, experiencing the sparse spiritual Qi around him, he said, “Pu Tao, how much longer until Master’s plan is complete?”

He could sense that the density of spiritual Qi here was at least half less than when he first arrived.

“Three more years are needed to completely control all the spiritual Qi in the area of three hundred thousand miles.” Pu Tao replied.

“It’s an area of three hundred thousand miles!” Every time Xu Gang heard this number, he couldn’t help but be amazed and praise his master’s methods.

“Will there really be no spiritual Qi left by then?”

“No, the master once said that only enough spiritual Qi to maintain the basic growth of spiritual plants is needed.”

“That’s good, it feels against the natural order to absorb all the spiritual Qi in this area.”

After feeling the sparse spiritual Qi, Xu Gang gently twisted the ring on his hand.

He turned the Qi density around his body to its fifth level, and in an instant, a large amount of spiritual Qi descended from the sky, filling the area within one foot of him.

Now, the Summoning Spirit Ring is a must-have for each one who comes to the Demon World for a mission.

The ring has nine levels, each level corresponds to a realm. During cultivation, use the level equal to your realm, and in battle, increase it by one level.

“With this, how can they fight us?” Xu Gang looked at the scenery in the distance of the Demon World and said.

“These can only defend against the ordinary Demon Clan, they cannot prevent the Demon Venerable.” Zhan Ling said beside Xu Gang.

In Zhan Ling’s hands were five balls of spiritual Qi, circling in his palms.

“Being able to defend against the ordinary Demon Clan is enough,” Xu Gang looked at the five balls of spiritual Qi in Zhan Ling’s hands and said.

“Five Elements Spirit Domain, how truly extraordinary.” Xu Gang remarked.

“Xu Gang, why don’t you also convert and cultivate the Five Elements Spirit Domain with me?”

“We can discuss Dao Practice together in the future.” Zhan Ling said with a mischievous smile.

He knew that the one Xu Fan valued the most was the person in front of him, and if he could pull him into cultivating the Five Elements Spirit Domain together,

Wouldn’t the Great Master, when teaching his disciple in the future, also have to teach him?

“I asked Master about it too, he said that the Great Five Elements Divine Power is more suitable for me.” Xu Gang scratched his head.

“That’s true, Dao has no strengths or weaknesses, the only difference is those who cultivate it,” Zhan Ling nodded and said.

“Xu Gang, could you demonstrate that East Wind Divine Skill which your Master taught you again?”

Zhan Ling’s eyes were glowing, his objective of coming to Xu Gang’s district to guard was the East Wind Divine Skill.

“Elder Zhan Ling, if you want to learn, you can directly ask my master, watching alone will never help you learn.” Xu Gang shook his head.

It took him over two years to successfully manifest this East Wind Divine Skill.

Initially, when he saw Xu Fan manifest it so easily, he felt that it was just like any other divine skill and could be manifested in just one or two months.

But after he started touching the divine skill, he was dumbfounded, the East Wind Divine Skill was far more than a thousand times harder than ordinary divine skills, he even failed to manifest it more than ten thousand times.

With his master’s careful guidance, he finally succeeded.

“The Great Master won’t teach me, he said I don’t need it now, and I don’t have the time to learn such a high difficulty skill,”

“So I want to watch you manifest East Wind Divine Skill, to see if I can learn it, even if I can’t, the fusion method within it will also benefit my Five Elements Spirit Domain.” Zhan Ling said with a laugh.

“If you wish to watch, then watch, I will take it as practice.”

Xu Gang had the Thousand-Hand Illusion appear behind him and dozens of pairs of ghostly hands started to arrange a formation.

Now he could use the divine skill, but he still needed the assistance of the Thousand-Hand Illusion.

As the Five Elements spiritual Qi converged between heaven and earth, an illusory figure in the shape of a missile appeared.

Zhan Ling immediately widened his eyes, focusing intently on the formation of this missile.

“The fusion method is incredibly terrifying.”

From what he could see, while the East Wind Divine Skill didn’t require much spiritual Qi, the fusion of the Five Elements within it was alarmingly complex.

One could say that the whole East Wind missile was the culmination of the Five Elements fusion method divine skill.

As the East Wind missile took form, exhaust gases spewed out bright flames, propelling the East Wind missile to be launched into the distance.
