Chapter 1102: Chess Game_1
Just after Xu Fan finished speaking, he immediately took the Time Heavy Treasure and the Acquired Spiritual Treasure into his Immortal artifact space and left.
The entire Heritage Land was trying to control Xu Fan, and Pu Tao was also trying to control the entire Heritage Land.
After Xu Fan passed the 24,000 steps, Pu Tao had successfully taken control of some minor authorities of the Heritage Land, enough to help Xu Fan leave.
Outside the Heritage Land, a lone Fairy Boat was docked in the Star Region.
A light shone from the bow of the Fairy Boat, and Xu Fan returned to the vessel.
"Pu Tao, return to the Wood Origin Immortal World, I need to first shake off the heat from my body and throw away that bit of Heavenly Venerate origin," Xu Fan quickly stated before entering into a Small World for closed-door cultivation.
All of this happened so quickly that Xu Yuexian couldn't even get a word in.
"Pu Tao, what's wrong with the Master?" Xu Yuexian asked curiously.
"The Master has encountered body-snatching and cause and effect entanglement in the Heritage Land."
"He has now obtained enough Time Heavy Treasure, and the Master needs to regain control of his own body," Pu Tao explained.
"Someone can actually snatch away the Master's body?" Xu Yuexian exclaimed in surprise.
"This is a more advanced form of body-snatching, different from the general ones."
At this moment in the small world of the Fairy Boat, Xu Fan began to grapple for control of his body with the presence within him.
"Dealing with this bit of Heavenly Venerate origin that can cloud the Great Dao is really tricky," Xu Fan said with a serious expression.
"If not handled carefully, it could turn into a disaster..."
"Pu Tao, use all the Time Heavy Treasures I obtained and accelerate this small world as much as possible, striving to promote to Golden Immortal before returning to the Wood Origin Immortal World," Xu Fan commanded.
Just then, a ethereal and transcendental aura floated out from Xu Fan's body.
Xu Fan's face took on a detached look.
"Pu Tao, no need for Time Acceleration, set course for the Yang Chen Ruins Fairy World," Xu Fan said indifferently.
At this moment, Xu Fan's demeanor was very much akin to a saint who was aloof from worldly matters, in the face of impending calamity.
"Yes, Master~"
However, soon after, Xu Fan in the detached state didn't last long and was replaced by the real Xu Fan.
"Master, do you need any help~" Pu Tao's voice was somewhat anxious.
"No, no matter where we go, the Time Acceleration of this small world must not stop," Xu Fan said earnestly. At this moment, an intense killing intention erupted from Xu Fan.
At this moment, in Xu Fan's Xianhun space, there were two Xu Fans facing off against each other.
One, an ethereal Xu Fan, was smiling at the real Xu Fan.
"Fascinating, truly fascinating!"
"I originally wanted to find a Puppet to bear the cause and effect for me, but I didn't expect that I would find you, a human from the Outer World."
"Although I don't know how you obtained the top-tier talent in the Three Thousand Realms, it doesn't matter anymore."
"As long as I can seize you, even if it means abandoning the body of that Heavenly Venerate, it won't matter."
"If only I can possess all of you, I can achieve ultimate freedom and detachment, rising above all worlds," the ethereal Xu Fan said nonchalantly, as though talking about an already accomplished fact.
"Since you already know everything about me, you should be aware that this Heavenly Venerate origin of yours will be destroyed by me as soon as your main body arrives."
"Besides, your main body can't enter the Three Thousand Realms, so how can this bit of origin possibly harm me?" Another Xu Fan laughed.
Then, Three thousand Taoism Plates appeared in Xu Fan's Immortal Soul space, inexplicable laws began to slowly spin.
With every rotation of the Three thousand Taoism Plates, the aura of the ethereal Xu Fan would weaken a little more.
"You guessed right, this thread of my origin might very well be obliterated by you. But our causal ties are so deep, even if you sever them, my main body can still find you by going against the River of Time."
The ethereal Xu Fan lifted his hand slightly, and a Time Wheel appeared in the Immortal Soul Space, covering the Three Thousand Taoism Plates, attempting to stop the operation of the plates.
"Mutual calculations, minds in chaos, honestly there's no fun in it."
"How about something practical? Let's have a bet."
"You let me discreetly digest this thread of your origin and when I attain the peak of Three Thousand Realms, I help you block this causality." The true Xu Fan looked at the ethereal Xu Fan and smiled.
"Compared to this, what I care more about is how I can replace you."
"Your talent truly amazes me. You have top-tier talents in all the Dao of the Three Thousand Realms. No matter whatever it is you do, you excel to the utmost limit of this world." Find exclusive stories on empire
"Even to attain sainthood, transcending beyond the Three Thousand Realms is just a matter of time."
"I want to possess all these too~" the ethereal Xu Fan looked at the true Xu Fan and said.
"Sometimes, being too greedy might not necessarily be a good thing. You know all my trump cards, I want your main body to come looking for me. I fear you might not get the chance."
At that moment, the Three Thousand Taoism Plates, under the obstruction of the Time Wheel, had already halted, but the Time Wheel had already been stretched to its limit. It could only withstand for a while longer before it would collapse.
"A matter of sooner or later, as long as I find you before your attainment of Da Luo." the ethereal Xu Fan said.
Just at that moment, a crisp snapping sound could be heard.
The Time Wheel which was impeding the rotation of the Three Thousand Taoism Plates shattered, and the ethereal Xu Fan's light point body disintegrated and floated out.
"Let me see how you will choose~"
The ethereal Xu Fan left behind a sentence, and disappeared within Xu Fan's Immortal Soul Space.
The main body of Xu Fan within the Time Acceleration Mini World startled and opened his eyes.
"Pu Tao~" Xu Fan somewhat regretted.
"Master, I understand."
Pu Tao's main body appears in front of Xu Fan and gradually cracked apart.
Immediately, a green protection shield enveloped everything within a light year around the Immortal Boat as the center.
Within the green protection shield's inner wall, it obstructed a message.
The message was sent out at the cost of the origin of the Lord of Light and Time, which originally cannot be blocked by anyone in the Three Thousand Realms.
But Xu Fan blocked this information at the cost of Pu Tao's main body.
Xu Yuexian standing on the Fairy Boat baffles was somewhat dumbfounded watching this scene without understanding what just happened.
"Pu Tao, what was that protection shield just now?" Xu Yuexian asked.
But this time she did not get the answer she wanted to hear.
"Pu Tao needs to rest for a while." Xu Fan came out from the Time Acceleration Mini World and said.
"Master, what happened to Pu Tao!" Xu Yuexian asked.
"In order to delay the arrival of certain things, Pu Tao poured out her origin, and her main body shattered." Xu Fan spoke somewhat dejectedly.
Pu Tao didn't die, he was just sad because his weakness caused the old steward who had always been accompanying him to be injured.
Xu Fan went to a secret room on the Immortal boat and took out a purple cube from a hidden compartment in the room with an array that cloakinng heavenly secrets.
"Let's call it a trade-off, you sacrificed your main body for the Master. In exchange, I will provide you with a better sanctuary, a Spiritual Treasure."
Looking at the purple magic cube, Xu Fan suddenly felt a little sad. It was like seeing his pet cat or dog dying.
"Master, Pu Tao burnt millions of computational power and did not retain one. Now I can only barely control the Fairy Boat to take you back to the Wood Origin World." Pu Tao's somewhat mechanized voice rang.
