My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

"Thanks for your kind intention, Brother, I won’t need my time avatar." Xu Fan refused with a wave of his hand.

Compared to the time avatars, he trusted his three avatars working as tools in the underground space more.

Over the years, he had already optimized the Divine Ability of Avatars to its limit.

Even now, when targeted by Daluo Saints, he could still survive.

"Are you sure you don’t need it?" asked the gray-haired Elder again.

"Brother, if you are sure that I can resolve the great catastrophe of your Master and Disciple’s life in the future, you should trust me."

"If there’s a day when I truly fall, I believe that Brother’s Time Palace wouldn’t be able to save me."

"So Brother, don’t trouble yourself."

Destiny and causality are profound, Xu Fan feared that if he left a time avatar behind, it might cause a lot of extra trouble.

"Alright then." The gray-haired elder nodded his head.

His Primordial Treasure was not omnipotent, in some special circumstances, the time avatars might not be effective indeed.

Both of them dispersed after a short chat.

Time flies swiftly.

A thousand years of continuous preaching, coupled with the acceleration of cultivation for his disciples using the Time Heavy Treasure.

In the Hidden Spirit Gate, nearly 30% of the first three generations of disciples cultivated to the peak of the True Immortal Period, just one step away from achieving the Golden Immortal stage.

But even with this step left, no matter how hard Xu Fan worked to explain and teach the Great Dao, not a single disciple was able to break through this limit.

Once the thousand-year-long preaching ended, Xu Fan lay on the lounging chair in his courtyard.

Looking at the brilliant starry sky, Xu Fan sighed deeply.

"Could it be that a thousand years is still too short for anyone to break through the Golden Immortal period?" Xu Fan said while stroking his chin.

In a thousand years, the Golden Device Academy in Golden Device City became famous in more than half of the Human Clan’s territory.

Thanks to the more advanced Illusion training system, it fostered many talents in minor disciplines.

Especially in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talismans, Puppets, Formations, many Experts have emerged.

There are over ten thousand grandmasters in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Formations alone, among whom there are those of grandmaster potential.

The Golden Device Academy now mainly focuses on teaching minor disciplines, while the originally mainstream Cultivation has become a subsidiary.

Now, most of the members join with the intention to network with the high-performing members of these minor disciplines and expand their own networks.

Even many Immortal Sects and Sacred Lands will voluntarily send their disciples who possess talents in minor disciplines to the Golden Device Academy for basic education.

As a result, the Hidden Spirit Gate now receives shares of over a hundred million Fairy Jades each year. Over the thousand years, Golden Device City has become the third largest city in the Star Moon Immortal Domain and returned to its past prosperity.

Xu Fan originally thought that having so many Fairy Jades would hasten his promotion to Golden Immortal, but then he was frustrated to find that it seemed all the Time Heavy Treasures of the entire Human Clan’s territory were bought in inflated prices.

Now, the cost for a year of Xu Fan’s time acceleration has reached an unprecedented 300,000 Fairy Jades. Despite this high cost, Pang Fu only receives a small amount of Time Heavy Treasures each year.

Currently, Xu Fan is still 100,000 years away from becoming a Golden Immortal.

Xu Fan felt that if he continued to purchase Time Heavy Treasures, the price would probably increase even more.

Therefore, he had decided to stop accelerating time and wait until the prices and market supplies return to previous levels before purchasing again.

"Greetings, Great Master." Zhang Xueling appeared behind Xu Fan.

"What is it?" Xu Fan asked with half-closed eyes. After the thousand-year preaching, even he felt some fatigue in his Immortal Soul.

"Great Master, I feel like the journey to advancing to the Golden Immortal seems to be blocked. Even though our understanding of True Immortal’s way of cultivation has reached its peak and touched the realm of the origin of the Great Dao, we’re still unable to advance."

"That’s why I’ve come up with a guess." Zhang Xueling said respectfully.

"You said~" Xu Fan became somewhat interested.

"I specifically checked Pu Tao’s database, and found that no one in the Immortal World became a Golden Immortal before the age of 100,000."

"So, I am guessing that this might be a certain restriction of the Will of Heaven in the Immortal World on promoting to Golden Immortal."

"Or in other words, to experience the Golden Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, one must be at least 100,000 years old."

"I also made another discovery that the Power of Causality on me has intensified. It’s as if it’s a test of causality before the arrival of a Great Tribulation." Zhang Xueling said.

"Impressive. You found the reason even before Pu Tao could analyze it." Xu Fan said approvingly.

Pu Tao also had a similar guess, but it wasn’t as comprehensive as Zhang Xueling.

"100,000 years, huh~" Xu Fan sighed deeply. He knew that using time acceleration for True Immortal Cultivation required Time Heavy Treasures. However, he had nearly purchased all of the available Time Heavy Treasures on the market.

If he continued using Time Heavy Treasures to provide his disciples with time acceleration, opening a few more academies would not be enough to support the sect’s consumption.

"Go back first. Since advancing to True Immortal requires 100,000 years of precipitation, let’s take it slow. I will figure out something later." Xu Fan told Zhang Xueling.

"Yes, Great Master." Zhang Xueling said before he left.

"Pu Tao, contact Pang Fu, and go to Tianding Commerce Guild to buy the corresponding information." Xu Fan commanded.

"Yes, Master." Pu Tao’s voice echoed.

"After a thousand hard years of struggle, it seems all efforts have gone in vain." Xu Fan felt that what Zhang Xueling said might be true.

Just then, a Quasi-Immortal Qi suddenly appeared in the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"Master, the fourth generation disciple, Wu Gang, has been promoted to Quasi-Immortal." Pu Tao reported.

"Just over 1000 years and he was able to be promoted to Quasi-Immortal. The Immortal Realm is indeed an incredible place." Noted Xu Fan.

In a short while, a giant, over ten feet tall, appeared in Xu Fan’s small courtyard.

The moment he saw Xu Fan., he enthusiastically bowed and said, "Greetings to the Great Master!"

"Not bad, you specialize in the Body Refining Path, and your foundation is quite solid."

"From now on, you will be the chief disciple of the 4th generation." Xu Fan appointed.

The rights of chief disciples and ordinary disciples are different, much like the difference between a guild leader and ordinary members in a game.

"Yes, Great Master."

Suddenly, a small teleportation array with a diameter of one foot appeared in the courtyard, and an Immortal Artifact heavy armor and entry-level Immortal Artifact heavy axe appeared in the teleportation array.

"This is your first reward for being promoted to Quasi-Immortal, the Titanium Star Armor and Nine Mountains Heavy Axe."

"In the future, cultivate well and strive to surpass your idol." Xu Fan encouraged with a smile.

He had read Wu Gang’s material before, and knew about his past relationship with Xiong Li.

Wu Gang nodded, somewhat excited.

"Go back, you need to stabilize your realm just after being promoted to Quasi-Immortal."

With an excited heart, Wu Gang left.

"Master, the fourth Golden Immortal puppet of the sect has been successfully refined and is currently in standby mode." After Wu Gang left, Pu Tao’s voice echoed again.

"It’s already the fourth Golden Immortal puppet. By the way, since Old Six left, it’s been a thousand years. Has there been any news about him in the Nether Immortal World?"

As soon as he mentioned the Golden Immortal puppet, Xu Fan thought of Li Xuandao.

"There is currently no news." Pu Tao replied. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Let’s keep waiting. I gave him a divination a while ago, disaster will be followed by blessing. I hope he can come back sooner."
