Finally, almost home
Chapter 1572 Finally, almost home
Su Fan closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the jade couch in the luxurious hall of the cabin.
On the table in front of him, several ancient books and more than ten lustrous jade slips were quietly displayed, with a misty spiritual aura surrounding them, complementing the elegant furnishings of the hall.
A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, a deep thought flashing across them, clearly indicating that he had just been immersed in the classic texts and had not yet completely withdrawn from them.
He lightly lifted his fingertips, and a jade slip was steadily placed in his palm, which he then placed against his brow.
His divine sense slowly seeped in, and the information within the jade slip surged into his mind like a tide. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly put the jade slip down and placed it on the table.
Su Fan took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, then shook his head with a helpless wry smile.
It seems that the idea of resolving the hidden dangers in the body in the short term is ultimately wishful thinking.
The spaceship he was on had been sailing alone in the vast sea of stars for nearly ten years.
For the past ten years, Su Fan has almost never stepped out of his cabin. He spends every day immersed in the classics in the hall, repeatedly studying and pondering them, all in an effort to find a way to break free from his predicament.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and he hadn't even gotten close to the door, let alone found a practical solution.
Su Fan had also sought help from Lao Long Li Gao and even visited Qing Xu Zi for advice.
Even these two well-informed old monsters, after learning about the condition inside his body, could only be helpless and looked on incredulously.
This kid's internal organs are in such a mess.
If it were anyone else, they would have died seven or eight times over by now.
How did he manage to survive until now?
Even though Li Gao and Qing Xuzi's cultivation and experience far surpassed those of ordinary cultivators, they were still completely clueless when faced with the chaotic state of Su Fan's body.
This was because his situation had absolutely nothing to do with the orthodox cultivation system of the cultivation world, and was completely beyond the scope of their understanding.
Left with no other choice, Su Fan could only rely on his own exploration.
Fortunately, he cultivated a heretical method, and the Integration Realm, which others would take tens of thousands of years to break through, he achieved in just over a thousand years by taking a shortcut.
So he wasn't in a hurry, since he had plenty of time to study and ponder.
He had already planned that once he returned to the Jiaochen Realm of the Yuanmang Starfield, he would try every means to join a super sect with profound foundations.
After that, he spent his days immersed in the Buddhist scriptures, perusing ancient texts, determined not to fail in finding a solution.
If it doesn't work in a hundred years, try a thousand; if it doesn't work in a thousand, try ten thousand. Success will eventually come.
Just then, the cabin door opened slightly, and Feng Qiu led a dozen or so beautiful young female cultivators, carrying various exquisite spiritual foods, and filed in one after another.
“Senior…it’s time to eat…” Feng Qiu’s voice was soft, with a hint of caution.
Upon hearing this, Su Fan got up from the jade couch and slowly walked towards the dining room outside.
At this moment, the dining table was filled with all kinds of spiritual food, and under the table was a huge wooden bucket filled with steaming spiritual rice, all of which was made from the finest Jade Marrow Spiritual Rice.
Since the day he boarded the flying ship, Su Fan had never returned to his personal secret realm. Firstly, he wanted Li Chongxiu to rest and recuperate properly, and secondly, the people on the flying ship had indeed taken excellent care of him.
The ship's several skilled spiritual chefs prepared spiritual dishes for each of the three daily meals using carefully selected, rare and precious spiritual ingredients.
With his superb culinary skills, Su Fan has tasted all the delicacies in the world over the past ten years.
Although he has a large appetite, in the eyes of the chefs, this is not a problem at all; they just need to prepare more ingredients.
After Su Fan sat down, Feng Qiu immediately picked up the wine pot next to him and poured him a cup of mellow spiritual wine.
"Senior...please enjoy your meal..."
After saying that, she led the group of female cultivators to quietly retreat, and they all stood outside the cabin door waiting quietly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
In fact, long before Su Fan boarded the ship, Feng Qiu had already inquired about his whereabouts from various sources and had been worried about him.
After all, this man is rumored to be a vicious and tyrannical evil old demon.
Evil cultivators are known for their cruelty and unpredictability; if one is not served properly, no one can predict what they might do.
To put it bluntly, even if Su Fan killed everyone on the entire flying ship, the higher-ups of the "Nine Profound Tower" probably wouldn't dare to utter a single complaint.
There are even rumors that some evil old devils are lewd by nature and act pervertedly.
If this man were to suddenly become a beast, she and the dozens of women on the ship would likely be violated to death.
Let alone evil old demons, even some old monsters from super immortal sects are always causing trouble for people.
If they were to encounter a lecherous man, the female cultivators on the ship, including herself, would likely all suffer a terrible fate and be harmed by him.
To Feng Qiu's surprise, Su Fan had hardly ever stepped out of his cabin since boarding the ship. He devoted himself to cultivation every day and his temperament was exceptionally good, without any trace of the perverse nature of evil cultivators.
Aside from three meals a day, the only other requirement is that someone occasionally goes in to brew a pot of spiritual tea or light a calming incense stick; there are no other requirements.
Not only that, every few months, this man would also reward them with some spirit crystals.
Feng Qiu secretly rejoiced, thinking that it would be wonderful if she could always encounter such a helpful person in the future.
After finishing his meal, Su Fan returned to the hall, sat cross-legged on the jade couch, and continued to study the classics on the table.
Before long, Feng Qiu came in carrying a pot of freshly brewed spiritual tea, poured him a cup, and placed it on the table.
“Senior…I just asked, and in a few more months, the flying boat will reach the Yuanmang constellation…”
Upon hearing this, Su Fan's aura suddenly shifted, and an undisguised excitement welled up in his eyes.
Finally going home.
I wonder how many children my senior sisters have, and how they are doing now.
He had not seen his family for hundreds of years, and his longing for them had penetrated to the bone.
"Hmm... let me know in advance..." Su Fan said slowly, his voice slightly hoarse.
He paused, then asked, "After this spaceship arrives at the Yuanmang Constellation, can it directly transport me to the Jiaochen Realm...?"
"Don't worry, senior. The organization's higher-ups have already given specific instructions. The flying boat will definitely take you safely to the designated location..." Feng Qiu quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, Su Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He only knew his family's former address, but with the passage of hundreds of years and the changing times, no one could say for sure whether they were still in the same place.
In the days that followed, the spaceship continued its solitary voyage through the vast sea of stars.
As always, Su Fan immersed himself in ancient texts every day, trying to find clues to overcome his own hidden dangers from the insights and experiences of his predecessors.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye. After a long voyage of nearly ten years, the spaceship finally entered the airspace of the Yuanmang constellation.
That morning, Su Fan had just finished breakfast when Feng Qiu hurriedly walked in from outside, her tone somewhat anxious.
"Senior... In three days, the spaceship will enter a plane of the Yuanmang Constellation Great World for resupply..." Upon hearing the words "Great World," Su Fan was slightly taken aback, almost forgetting that the Yuanmang Constellation had such a setting.
It seems that the patterns of each constellation are different. For example, the constellations Qu Rong and Zuo Kun have never been associated with the concept of a "great world".
Furthermore, the main star of the Qu Rong constellation is not surrounded by a ring of stars like the Zuo Kun constellation.
I wonder what the upper star of the Yuanmang constellation looks like.
At least compared to the Zuo Kun constellation, the Yuan Mang star field is much more peaceful.
The human and demon races in the Zuokun Starfield have been fighting for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the cultivators in the lower realms have also suffered greatly as a result. Many realms have been invaded by the demon race, and the people are living in misery.
Three days later, the spaceship finally flew over a constellation.
Su Fan stood by the cabin window, looking down at the scenery of the plane below.
The mountains and rivers are like dark eyebrows, and pavilions and towers can be vaguely seen amidst the swirling clouds and mist. The spiritual energy is even richer and more mellow than that of the starry sky.
A moment later, the airship slowly swooped down, accompanied by a muffled boom, the hull trembled slightly, and finally landed smoothly on a magnificent airport.
As soon as the cabin door opened, Feng Qiu walked in from outside and bowed respectfully in worship.
"Senior, the airship has landed safely. This resupply and rest will take a few days, after which we will set sail again. My 'Nine Mysteries Pavilion' has properties here, and I have made proper arrangements for you..."
Upon hearing this, Su Fan rose from the jade couch, nodded in acknowledgment, and then followed Feng Qiu as they slowly disembarked from the flying boat.
On the airport deck, several composed Nascent Soul cultivators were already standing, clearly having been waiting for some time.
Upon seeing Su Fan appear, everyone stepped forward, cupped their hands in greeting, and spoke respectfully.
"Welcome, senior brother, to 'Huangyatian'..."
Su Fan did not put on airs, and returned the greeting with a bow, speaking in a calm tone.
"You're too kind, fellow disciples. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused..."
Upon hearing this, the leading old man immediately burst into laughter, took a few steps forward, and affectionately grabbed Su Fan's arm.
“Senior Brother, you flatter me! I am Bai Hanxing, the garrison officer of the Nine Profound Tower stationed at Huangyatian. The organization's higher-ups have already specifically instructed us that you are a distinguished guest of our Nine Profound Tower, and that we must treat you with the utmost respect…”
After saying that, Bai Hanxing waved his hand and extended a warm invitation.
"Let's go... Senior Brother must be tired from your journey. I've prepared a welcome banquet. Tonight, I must drink a few cups with you to show my hospitality..."
Ordinary cultivators in the Yuanmang Starfield might not know Su Fan's background, but Bai Hanxing and others knew his background very well.
This person is a top-tier expert who can single-handedly kill several avatars of powerful demons from the upper realm.
He was a ruthless character who dared to venture alone into the Demon Realm, single-handedly causing chaos and nearly leading to its annihilation.
Such a powerful and ruthless figure is unprecedented in the history of cultivation.
Therefore, Bai Hanxing and the others treated Su Fan with the utmost respect, as if he were their own senior, and dared not show the slightest negligence.
The flying boat landed at the renowned "Mysterious Immortal City" airport within the "Yellow Sprout Heaven".
Su Fan followed Bai Hanxing and the others, traveling through the streets and alleys of the immortal city, and finally arrived at a luxurious courtyard with elegant furnishings and abundant spiritual energy.
After the welcoming banquet, Su Fan settled down in this courtyard, quietly waiting for the flying boat to set sail.
He entered a refined room in the courtyard, sat cross-legged on the jade couch in the hall, and then took out a jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows.
This is the Yuanmang Starfield Star Map Jade Slip that he had previously requested from Bai Hanxing. It contains detailed markings of the specific locations of various large and small realms.
After immersing his consciousness in the star map for a long time, Su Fan slowly put down the jade slip, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
According to the directions marked on the star chart, even if the "Nine Mysteries Tower" has a special flight path, it would still take at least one or two years for the airship to travel from "Yellow Sprout Heaven" to the Jiao Chen Realm.
There's no way around it, the territory of this cultivation world is just too damn vast.
Now that Su Fan has returned to the Yuanmang Constellation, his next steps, besides going home to reunite with his family, are to completely resolve the troubles from the past.
If it weren't for the Celestial Race, how could he have been stranded in the outer realms for so many years?
Those old monsters from the Celestial Race probably never expected that I would actually be able to come back.
This time, he will surely wipe out the Celestial Race of the Yuanmang Constellation.
Ideally, a few powerful figures from the Celestial Race in the Upper Realm would descend to the Lower Realm in their true forms, and we could wipe them all out.
Of course, the family members must be settled first.
Previously, due to his insufficient strength, he dared not place his family in his personal secret realm.
But now Su Fan's strength is completely different from before, and he can place his family in his personal secret realm.
Now, at least in the lower realms, he is able to protect his family's safety.
Only after completely resolving the troubles with the Celestial Race can Su Fan join a sect with peace of mind, and then find a way to resolve his own predicament.
What he didn't know was that ever since the avatar of the Celestial Race's upper realm leader descended to the lower realm without permission and attacked the cultivators of the human race's Daoist sect, it had also aroused the anger of the upper realm's human race's Daoist sect leader.
Not long after Su Fan was stranded in another realm, the powerful figures of the human race's Daoist sect in the upper realm of the Yuanmang constellation destroyed several planes of the Celestial Race.
Although the Celestial Race is small in number, it occupies many resource-rich planes.
The cultivators of various races in the lower realm of the Yuanmang constellation have long coveted the plane occupied by the Celestial Race.
It turns out that the Celestial Race relies on the support of their fellow races in the Upper Realm, and cultivators of all races are very wary of them.
Now that the Daoist sects of the lower realm have the backing of powerful figures from the upper realm, over the next few hundred years, the various sects of the Daoist sects of the lower realm under the Yuanmang constellation have begun to gradually erode the power of the Celestial Race.
The Celestial Race of the entire Yuanmang Constellation is no longer as powerful as it once was, and resource-rich planes have been conquered by cultivators from various races.
A large number of Celestial Clan cultivators from various realms of the Yuanmang constellation had no choice but to leave their homes and flee to other constellations to eke out a living.
Now that Su Fan is in the Yuanmang constellation, even if he wanted to cause trouble for the Celestial Race, he probably wouldn't be able to find many Celestial Race cultivators.
At that moment, Su Fan suddenly remembered something.
Now that he's back in the Yuanmang constellation, he should contact the people at "Ruyi Pavilion" first.
We don't know where Qin Yu is right now. If we could find him, we'd know all the details about his family.
Thinking of this, he quickly stood up from the jade couch and hurriedly left the study.
It's not difficult to contact "Ruyi Pavilion"; you can easily do so through the "Jiuxuan Tower" organization.
After all, "Nine Mysteries Pavilion" is an organization that runs a business of traveling across constellations, so getting them to help contact "Ruyi Pavilion" shouldn't be too difficult.
