My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

But it’s not like the outer area of the Vast Void Domain, where finding a Dao Artifact-level Spirit Mine Star is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Three months later, Zhan Ling was still in a fairly excited state.

“Great Master, this inner area of the Vast Void Domain is indeed worthy of its reputation. The harvest this time is even richer than the previous five times I’ve been on a Starship,” Zhan Ling said, steering the snake spirit number nimbly to avoid a thunder field disaster.

“The more dangerous the place, the higher the returns,” Xu Fan said with a smile. Indeed, this harvest had made even him a little envious.

“It’s all thanks to the Great Master’s ship modifications. Otherwise, coming to explore the inner area of the Vast Void Domain would require nine lives,” Zhan Ling said with a smile.

At this moment, the shadow detection map showed a large Spirit Mine Star ahead.

“There’s another high-quality Treasure Artifact-level Spirit Mine Star ahead. It looks quite big,” Zhan Ling pointed to the Spirit Mine Star location shown on the shadow map.

“According to the detection, this Spirit Mine Star has a diameter of at least two thousand feet. Let’s see how much good stuff we can get,” Xu Fan said, looking at the data analyzed by Pu Tao.

“It’s estimated that it will take more than an hour to get there,” Zhan Ling said before starting to change direction, activating the snake spirit number’s first extreme speed and flying towards the Spirit Mine Star.

At this time, they entered a relatively leisurely period, and Zhan Ling started a conversation with the Great Master.

He liked talking to the Great Master when he had nothing to do, as it always broadened his horizons and knowledge.

“Great Master, is it your true self or an avatar that came this time?” Zhan Ling asked Xu Fan curiously.

People of the Hidden Spirit Sect knew that the Great Master rarely went out, and even when he did, he would control a puppet or an avatar.

“You guess, am I the real me?” Xu Fan looked at Zhan Ling as he spoke.

The reason the true body goes out is because there is a backup true body at home. In a situation where absolute safety cannot be guaranteed, Xu Fan would not take the risk of going out.

“I heard that there is a Great Dao Origin Divine Skill in the Great Thousand World, called One Qi to Three Purities. I guess the Great Master has already comprehended it,” Zhan Ling joked.

Generally speaking, avatars with divine abilities at the Mahayana Venerable rank or higher would have a bit of each, such as the avatar of consciousness, soul avatar, and flesh avatar. However, there are differences between avatars.

The lowest level is just the avatar of thought shadow, and the highest level is the one that can replace the true body in death or directly turn the avatar into a true god.

“You think too small, Elder Zhan Ling. One Qi to Three Purities is just the entry-level technique. The best one is Spiritual Consciousness Transforms Into the Void, where you will be in harmony with Heaven and Earth, and as long as Heaven and Earth don’t perish, you won’t perish either.”

“Would the Great Master like to learn?” Xu Fan said with a honeyed smile.

“Great Master, don’t fool me. Where is there such a divine ability? Spiritual consciousness transforms into the void, and the Heavenly Dao of this world allows you to live?” Zhan Ling had a look on his face that said, don’t treat me like a child.

“Elder Zhan Ling, you’re exaggerating. Just like your Blood Sea Divine Skill, once you reach a profound realm, you become indestructible like the Blood Sea, and it’s not a problem to transform a drop of sea into flesh and blood to be reborn.”

“Besides, I’m not asking you to transform your spiritual consciousness into the void in this world. You can find another Little Thousand World, and give this world’s Heavenly Dao enough benefits; then, it would be fine,” Xu Fan laughed.

Just trying to tease with my privacy, I’ll mess with you first.

After hearing Xu Fan’s words, Zhan Ling started thinking, wondering whether the divine abilities that Xu Fan mentioned were possible.

“It seems that the Great Master speaks some truth.”

After a long time, just as they were about to approach the Spirit Mine Star, Zhan Ling slowly said.

“Great Master, what kind of benefits do you need to give to the Heavenly Dao to do as you said?” Zhan Ling asked seriously.

Zhan Ling’s expression already told Xu Fan that he had been moved.

Hearing Zhan Ling’s words, Xu Fan also seriously said, “Actually, it’s quite easy to buy off the Heavenly Dao.”

“First of all, Elder Zhan Ling needs to find a Middle Thousand World with the same volume as this world.” Xu Fan paused at this point, looking at Zhan Ling’s eager-to-learn expression.

“Then, Great Master, don’t leave me hanging,” Zhan Ling said, feeling some itch in his heart.

“I don’t know if Elder Zhan Ling has ever heard of a divine ability called the Great Extinguishing Dao Skill.”

“It can extinguish a world’s XX, plunging that world into a chaotic state.”

Xu Fan’s tone was slow, but Zhan Ling’s face changed quickly. He knew that he had been fooled.

“Then, Elder Zhan Ling, you probably need about ten Yu Ships to tow the destroyed XX world and merge it with the Heavenly Dao of your home world. Then, the Heavenly Dao should allow your request,” Xu Fan said with a sweet smile, making sure to be discreet about the keywords when discussing such topics because that can easily draw attention.

“Great Master, please don’t treat me as a fool. I’ve made contributions to the sect, shed blood, and risked my life. You can’t treat me like this,” Zhan Ling said gloomily.

“I might think that Elder Zhan Ling is joking, but everything I’ve said is true,” Xu Fan said seriously.

“If I have that strength, just directly threaten…”

Zhan Ling almost uttered the words “Heavenly Dao,” but fortunately, Xu Fan reminded him in time.

“I must clarify that I’m not trying to bait Elder Zhan Ling into saying that,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Many thanks to the Great Master for reminding me,” Zhan Ling said, a cold sweat on his forehead.

Although everyone in the Cultivation World knows that the Heavenly Dao has no self-consciousness, directly threatening the Heavenly Dao will definitely draw the attention of the Heavenly Dao. Then, for its own safety, the Heavenly Dao has a certain probability of taking some defensive measures.

“Hahaha, it’s just a joke with Elder Zhan Ling, but I actually do have some advanced avatar divine abilities. I can teach you after Elder Zhan Ling’s cultivation has improved,” Xu Fan said. A joke can’t just be for fun; some benefits still have to be given.

“Really?” Zhan Ling said. Advanced avatar divine abilities are one of the most important inheritances for a sect and a family.

“Would I still treat Elder Zhan Ling as an outsider yet?” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Thank you very much for your favor, Great Master.”

After Zhan Ling finished speaking, he skillfully controlled the snake spirit number to shoot out a flying grabber, grabbing the large Spirit Mine Star.

“This Star contains Soul Crystals!” Xu Fan said with some surprise.

“Spirit Crystals should be useful for Pu Tao,” Zhan Ling thought for a moment and said.

“They can improve Pu Tao’s computing power and increase the number of Pu Tao’s avatars. Most importantly, this is Pu Tao’s important Spirit Mine to transform into spiritual cultivation,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Some Spirit Mines, although not of high grade, have uses that are not inferior to the Dao Artifact level.

“Spiritual cultivation, Great Master, are you willing to let Pu Tao transform?” Zhan Ling asked.

“What’s the point of hesitating? After transforming into spiritual cultivation, can Pu Tao leave me?” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“I will always be the Master’s Pu Tao, always serve the Master, and serve the Hidden Spirit Sect.”

Pu Tao’s tone was firm and resolute, with a touch of fanaticism and crazy admiration for Xu Fan.
