My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Xu Yuexian almost dropped the purple spirit pearl in her hand.

“Don’t drop it. Sometimes, fate comes just like that.”

“She can possess you, but you won’t be controlled by her.”

“By then, her inheritance and treasures will be yours.” Xu Fan said with a smile.

When he sealed the Immortal Artifact Spirit, he learned about its past and present lives. At the same time, he sighed at fate’s play, asking who it was looking for, and why it had to be my disciple.

The Chamber of Commerce that traded with Xu Yuexian was also an accomplice.

“Fortunately, I have Master.” Xu Yuexian said gratefully.

“Later, I think you’ll meet that Chamber of Commerce again in the Ruins. At that time, you just need to accept everything they give you.”

“By then, those things can strengthen your foundation.” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.

“Master, in the future, when my cultivation is strong, 1 will protect you.” Xu Yuexian said emotionally. It seemed that since she was little, nothing could stump her Master.

“Then work hard and strive to reach the Mahayana stage as soon as possible.” Xu Fan said with satisfaction. With his current means, he wasn’t afraid of any combat power below the Mahayana stage.

“Yes, sir.” Xu Yuexian said with a smile.

“Master, now that my cultivation is stable, I want to go out and have a look. Recently, I feel that there’s some opportunity waiting for me,” Xu Yuexian said.

“What opportunities or not, you should just stay in the Sect and cultivate well, and improve your combat power.”

Xu Fan handed over three jade discs to Xu Yuexian.

“Don’t go out of the Sect recently. The complete set of magical treasures on your body needs to be replaced. Also, when you reach the God Transformation Stage, you can barely use the Dao Tools through a secret method.”

“l originally thought your eldest brother would be the first to break through to the God Transformation Stage, but you took the lead.”

“There are three divine secret techniques suitable for you in these three jade discs. Your original Shadow Transformation Three Life Bodies need to be strengthened.”

“Alright, go back to cultivating if there’s nothing else. Your combat power is only slightly stronger than when you were at the Nascent Soul stage.”

Xu Fan’s lecturing sent Xu Yuexian back to her own mountain peak to cultivate.

Watching Xu Yuexian’s escaping light, a trace of worry flashed in Xu Fan’s eyes.

For some reason, he recently felt as if someone was watching him, trying to pull him into a massive vortex.

This feeling of Xu Fan’s hadn’t been confirmed yet.

At the same time, outside an Immortal City on the Central Continent, a sword cultivator took a seriously injured young man, covered in black aura as if he was cursed, into a teleportation array.

Just as Xu Fan was deducing good and bad omens from this uneasiness, he was interrupted by Wang Xiangchi’s emergency message.

“Master, Wuji is injured and has been hit by a deadly curse. The life-saving means you gave me can’t cure him. Please think of a way.”

In the message from Xiangchi, a light and shadow image of the injured Sword Wuji and some details of the curse were attached.

Xu Fan stopped his deduction as he confirmed that someone was indeed watching him.

Looking up slowly at the sky, Xu Fan muttered, “Is this the backhand you left before merging?”

“There are not a few in the Cultivation World who can hold their own. Why target me?” Xu Fan sighed.

This taste of fate made him, who just wanted to live peacefully until the

Universe’s Extinction, very unhappy.

At the center of the Linsen Immortal City Teleportation Array, a figure turned into a sword light and shot straight out of the city.

At this moment, the members of the Lin Sen Immortal City Elder Council who were about to suppress the situation were stopped by Ning Dao.

It’s okay to indulge a bit for someone who has made great contributions to the Immortal City, especially if there’s a reason for his actions.

The sword light turned blood-red once it left the city and flew in the direction of the Hidden Spirit Gate.

At the same time, Xu Fan was driving a spiritual boat, heading towards Wang

Xiangchi.

“Master, am I going to die?” Sword Wuji weakly asked while in Wang Xiangchi’s arms.

“No, you will soon meet the Grand Master you have longed for.” Wang Xiangchi, who was racing along, only had one thought in his mind – to quickly meet Xu Fan and save Sword Wuji.

“Master, this is the key to unlocking the Gray Sword Gate Secret Realm. Please keep it safe.”

Sword Wuji’s bloodied hand gently touched Wang Xiangchi’s shoulder, leaving behind a sword mark imprint.

Then, Sword Wuji peacefully closed his eyes, awaiting death.

From the moment he was cursed by that demon, he had a hunch he would die here,

“Don’t give up; you’ll be saved once you meet your Grand Master.” Xiangchi anxiously said, looking at the closed-eyed Sword Wuji.

At this moment, a spiritual boat appeared in the distance.

“Your Grand Master has arrived to pick us up, Wuji, hold on!” Wang Xiangchi screamed.

Already at the edge of consciousness, Sword Wuji tried to open his eyes but found that only a sliver of awareness remained, leaving him with no power to control his body.

Wang Xiangchi carried Sword Wuji onto the spirit boat. “Master, please save Wuji.” Wang Xiangchi said.

“What’s happened to him?” Xu Fan asked.

Next to Xu Fan, a Five Spirit Monkey took out a drop of Wood Origin Essence and began to invoke a secret technique.

“Master, I’ve tried before; the Wood Origin Essence doesn’t work.” Wang Xiangchi said.

“Shut up, don’t disturb me while I’m saving a life.”

A drop of Wood Origin Essence enveloped Sword Wuji, transforming into a watery mist while one-third of the Wood Essence transferred into Sword Wuji’s brow.

Xu Fan then took out a drop of Water Essence, which also blended into Sword Wuji’s brow as a spiritual mist.

The Five Spirit Monkey followed suit, infusing Sword Wuji’s body with streams of spiritual light converted from spiritual medicine.

Countless types of spiritual medicines and wound-healing elixirs floated in the sky above.

“This curse divine power is interesting, a Poison Child at the God Transformation stage has managed to unleash such power.” Xu Fan said, looking at the strand of dark energy taken from Sword Wuji’s body. “Master, can the curse on Wuji be removed?” Wang Xiangchi asked worriedly.

“Isn’t that what I’m doing right now?” Xu Fan replied.

“Thank you, Master.” Wang Xiangchi gratefully said.

Xu Fan could not help but sigh as he looked at Sword Wuji being treated. No wonder he was the protagonist – even such a powerful curse couldn’t kill him while at the Foundation Establishment stage.

“This curse is interesting; it is a Secret Method Technique that absorbs Essence to replenish the main body.” Xu Fan said after analyzing the strand of dark energy.

“What does this mean? Has Wuji’s origin been absorbed by that Poison Child?” Wang Xiangchi asked.

“Yes. Now, even if I save your precious disciple using conventional methods, his essence will be missing and he’ll ultimately become an ordinary person who cannot cultivate.” Xu Fan said.

“Is there a way to preserve Wuji’s cultivation?”

“It’s difficult, but not impossible.” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.

“What’s the method?” Wang Xiangchi excitedly asked.

“Reverse the curse and absorb the Poison Child’s Essence in return.”

“In this way, not only will your cherished disciple’s essence be preserved, but he will also be far superior to cultivators at the same stage.” Xu Fan said.

“However, the probability of success is somewhat low.” Xu Fan said, still stroking his chin.

“How low?”

“Less than ten percent..”
