My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

"The key point is that if your soul merges with the puppet core."

"In the future, you might most likely be trapped in Mahayana phase."

"With your aptitude, focusing on comprehending the Dao, you can go further on this path." Xu Fan advised.

Sui Ying was silent for a while, then slowly bowed to Xu Fan.

"I understand, Great Master."

"There are many ways to cultivate, one must guard against arrogance and impatience."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Sui Ying bowed and took his leave.

Soon, Wang Ling'er appeared by Xu Fan's side.

"Uncle Xu, you didn't agree to Sui Ying's request, did you?" Wang Ling'er asked nervously.

"You must have thought that the Great Uncle has forgotten about Ling'er after closing himself off for 1000 years." Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Sui Ying's talent is strong, he shouldn't be trapped in the Mahayana phase."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu, for persuading Sui Ying."

Hearing Xu Fan's words, Wang Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xu Fan smiled and looked at Wang Ling'er.

"Should I teach you a few tricks? You have been going backwards for a millennium, and you haven't even managed to catch a man. I'm really worried." Xu Fan asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Wang Ling'er's face instantly turned red.

"Sui Ying is a cold person on the outside and warm on the inside. He has already let go of the past and is now wholeheartedly focusing on cultivation." Wang Ling'er defended.

"But this is 1000 years we're talking about." Xu Fan continued.

"For someone with the talent of Sui Ying, cultivating for 1000 years is quite normal." Wang Ling'er continued.

"But this is 1000 years we're talking about."

"Cultivating and battling, leaving no time for romance..." Wang Ling'er's voice weakened.

Then, somewhat discouraged, she asked: "Uncle Xu, should I give up?"

"Haha, don't worry, just follow your heart."

"After all, your efforts over the past thousand years will certainly bear fruit."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Wang Ling'er got excited in an instant, wrapping her arm around Xu Fan's.

"Uncle Xu, is what you said true?" Wang Ling'er excitedly asked.

"Forget about whether it's true or not, just follow your heart, and you'll be fine."

Wang Ling'er, the old girl of a thousand years, joyfully flew away through the sky like a young girl, drawing heart shapes in the air.

"The matter of love is truly hard to comprehend." Xu Fan said.

Above the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Wang Yulun's family of three were fishing.

A red turtle shell Spirit Turtle was carrying Wang Yulun, Murong Qian'er, and Star.

Each of them held a fishing rod, silently fishing.

The chubby Star was also holding a specially made small fishing rod to fish.

As he fished, he kept stuffing fish food into his mouth.

Xu Fan saw this warm scene and curled his lips.

He knew that he had lost a fishing companion.

"Sigh."

After sighing, Xu Fan found a hidden spot where they couldn't see him and began to fish.

As soon as Xu Fan got into the fishing mood, he suddenly felt something strange beside him.

Turning his head, he found Star sitting next to him.

"Why aren't you with your godfather?" Xu Fan looked at the chubby little face, and was about to give it a pinch.

But he withdrew his hand halfway.

"Godfather and Godmother are so sticky when they are together, they don't even have time for me."

"Especially the lovey-dovey words they say, I can't even bear to listen to them." Star pouted.

"Star, how old are you now?" Xu Fan suddenly asked curiously.

"Not sure~" Star thought for a moment and said.

"My mother told me in my dream that I haven't even reached one Era yet." Star then added.

"One Era~"

Indeed, it was an ancient strange species, even its lifespan is measured in eras.

Xu Fan looked at the Star next to him and waved his hand casually.

A giant squid floated to the surface, and soon its ten tentacles broke from its roots.

Washed, marinated, seasoned, and grilled with Spiritual Fire.

In no time, a large plate of grilled squid tentacles appeared next to Star.

Star grabbed a 300-feet-long squid tentacle and started munching on it.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Star, with her small eyes narrowed, said with an expression of great satisfaction.

"You don't have to be so polite with Uncle Xu." Xu Fan said amiably.

As long as their heads were fine, who wouldn't treat Star with utmost respect?

At this moment, a streak of Escaping Light appeared in the distance.

"Your godmother has left, so you can go back and let your dad go fishing." Xu Fan said with a smile.

Star nodded, holding the huge plate of squid tentacles, and disappeared in front of Xu Fan.

"..."

Xu Fan began to seriously contemplate a question: is the gap between normal people and the protagonists really that huge?

"Master, Ning Dao is here." Pu Tao's voice sounded.

"Call him over. It's been a long time since I last saw Brother Ning."

Soon, Ning Dao appeared in front of Xu Fan.

At this time, Ning Dao had been promoted to Mahayana Esteemed One.

"Long time no see, Brother Ning." Xu Fan greeted with a smile.

"When the Great Master came out of his closed-door cultivation, I was at the Elders Council Headquarters. I came to see you as soon as I returned."

"I haven't congratulated Brother Ning on the promotion to Mahayana Esteemed One."

"What's there to congratulate? If it weren't for the Great Master, I wouldn't have reached the Mahayana stage," Ning Dao said with a smile.

Ning Dao underwent the Tribulation Passage stage in the closed-door cultivation at the Hidden Spirit Sect.

No.2 Clone set up a big formation for him to resist the Thunder Tribulation, while taking in a strong surge of energy.

"Brother Ning is talented and was able to overcome the Tribulation Passage stage whether we were there or not," Xu Fan said.

"Great Master, don't flatter me, don't I know myself well enough?"

"This time, I'm entrusted by the Elder Council Headquarters."

"They specially asked the Great Master to go to the Elder Council Headquarters, saying there's a matter to discuss." Ning Dao said.

"Elders Council Headquarters?" Xu Fan asked with some confusion.

"Before I left, I met with the number one Elder, and he entrusted me to come and see the Great Master."

"Number one!" Xu Fan exclaimed in shock, understanding what that represented.

This was the ceiling of the Cultivation World's combat power.

"Do you know what the matter is?" Xu Fan asked.

"I don't know, but it's probably related to Great Master's identity as an Artifact Refining Grandmaster."

"When do we leave?"

"The sooner, the better. We can teleport directly to the Supreme Immortal City through the teleportation array in Linsen Immortal City, and then teleport to the Council Headquarters."

"I'll prepare a little and set off for the Council Headquarters tomorrow." Xu Fan said, looking at the setting sun in the sky.

He doesn't like going out in the afternoons.

"Alright, I'll wait for the Great Master in Linsen Immortal City."

Underground Space, Xu Fan looked at the No.1 Clone, who was refining Dao Tools, and said, "I'm going to the Council Headquarters tomorrow, do you want to go to the Supreme Immortal City and visit your eldest brother?"

"Alright, I haven't been in touch with the eldest brother for a long time." No.1 Clone said.

"But why are you going to the Council Headquarters?"

"I was invited by the number one Elder of the Council. I don't know what the matter is, I'll find out when I get there," Xu Fan said.

"An invitation from the ceiling of combat power is certainly worth a visit, there might be other gains."

"Are you going to place your origin on the No.2 Clone this time?"

"Of course, safety first."

"You guys can only exist because of me." Xu Fan said matter-of-factly.
