My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

One early morning, Xu Fan was having breakfast with the gray-haired elder.

"Eldest brother, no matter how potent the Thunder liqui may be, it shouldn’t have kept you drunk for 10 days~"

The gray-haired elder was unconscious from intoxication 10 days ago and had only just woken up.

"It’s been a long time since I last got drunk, and having met good brothers like you all, I’ve allowed myself to indulge." The gray-haired elder said with a smile.

"Eldest brother, I’ve seen all the things you’ve done for me during this period. You’re someone I acknowledge as my eldest brother." Xu Fan said earnestly.

The gray-haired elder suddenly shivered, looking at Xu Fan with an incredibly surprised and joyful look.

"Brother, you truly acknowledge me as your eldest brother!" The gray-haired elder said excitedly.

"Of course, from now on, your matters are my matters." Xu Fan answered with a nod.

Because of this statement, the elder felt the dark cause-and-effect that had enveloped him starting to clear up.

The future that was obscured by a dark fog began to slowly become bright, filled with hope.

"Younger brother, if you ever need something, even if it leads my disciples straight into hell, I’d let them charge forth!" The gray-haired elder said excitedly. In his eyes, nothing could provide a better guarantee than this.

Hearing the words of the gray-haired elder, Xu Fan was visibly stunned but quickly recovered.

"Brother, let me show you my greatest secret."

"The Primordial Treasure, the Time Palace. It’s because of this that I have an endless lifespan to overspend."

"After the self-destruction of my body due to overspending, the Time Palace selects the most recent stored avatar and releases it." The gray-haired elder explained.

"Eldest brother, I know all this. What are you trying to say?" Xu Fan asked with a puzzled look at the gray-haired elder.

"To me, this Time Palace is somewhat wasted in my hands."

"Brother, are you planning to give the Time Palace to me?"

"Of course not, a treasure like this automatically chooses its owner, and even if I wanted to give it to you, I can’t."

"What I was trying to say is – at the moment, within the Time Palace, the only thing I can use is a time river branch exclusive to the Time Palace. If you trust me, you can imprint all the disciples of your sect’s soul aura into this time river branch."

"In case the disciples of your sect meet with accidents, they could be resurrected by paying a certain price. But this can only occur once per person."

"I took a look, and this small branch of the Time River should be able to contain all the disciples of your entire sect’s soul aura." The gray-haired elder looked at Xu Fan, saying sincerely.

"Eldest Brother, no need to say anything else. From now on, you’ll be my actual elder brother." Xu Fan said eagerly, now somewhat able to empathize with his good brother Wang Yulun.

Xu Fan understood the gray-haired elder’s intentions. He was offering each of their sect members an opportunity to resurrect once.

"You’re my best brother. If I don’t give the good stuff to you, who would I give it to?" The gray-haired elder spoke through his laughter.

"This is the avatar of the Time Palace. The small branch of the Time River stored within it - keep this with you, so it’s convenient for future use."

At this moment, a thought struck Xu Fan who hurriedly asked, "Brother, can this Time Palace of yours accelerate time and allow one to cultivate inside it?"

"It’s possible but due to my current low realm level, the amount of accelerated time I can push forward is limited. I can make a day in the outside world equivalent to three days in the Time Palace. If you want additional time acceleration, then you would need the Time Heavy Treasure."

"However, once I reach the status of a Daluo Saint, I can stimulate the Time Palace to reach a thousand years inside compared to a day on the outside." The gray-haired elder glanced disappointingly at Xu Fan and quickly clarified.

Xu Fan took one look at the gray-haired elder, whose life force may be vibrant at this moment, but still had many flaws. It seemed as though there was little hope for him to make further progress.

Otherwise, not even a Daluo Saint would have been able to withstand the Gold Immortal Tribulation.

"If my guess is correct, you’ve only reached the stage of True Immortal Cultivation because my Master helped you, right?" Xu Fan asked with a grin.

"Right. Becoming a True Immortal is the peak for me, but once you help me and my disciples pass the Great Tribulation..."

"As long as any one among my apprentices, the Eldest Brother, Old Two, or Old Three, advance their rank to that of a Daluo Saint or more, it would be sufficient to help me withstand the Gold Immortal Tribulation." The gray-haired elder explained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan rolled his eyes, feeling that it would be more reliable to have Pang Fu purchase a Time Heavy Treasure for a slight bit of acceleration.

"Young brother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. I’ve got a pressing matter to deal with which involves helping Old Two run some calculations. I guess I’ll have to stay in the neighboring Immortal World for about ten years or so."

"When I return, I’ll bring a bottle of unparalleled wine, and we can get drunk together." After saying this, the gray haired elder waved goodbye to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan waved back, bidding farewell to his good elder brother.

"An avatar of a Primordial Treasure has just been given to me." Xu Fan looked at the little palace in his hand and said in disbelief.

At this point, Xu Gang and Xiong Li, who had just been teleported to a remote Immortal Realm and were about to develop grand plans, were interrupted.

A teleportation gate quietly appeared behind the two of them. Two hands reached out from the gate, directly pulling the two of them in.

"Master?"

"Great Master?"

The two of them looked at Xu Fan in confusion.

"Nothing much. Just leave a trace of your origin behind before you go out in case of unexpected circumstances." Xu Fan said. After pointing at the two’s forehead and taking their origin and aura, he immediately kicked them back to the Immortal Realm.

At this moment, Xu Fan sensed two more faint spots of light, freely roaming in the Time River Branch within the Time Palace’s avatar.

"Now I don’t have to worry about my disciples encountering accidents when they are out." Xu Fan said while looking at the Time Palace’s avatar.

"Master, do you ever wonder what I’d be like if I ever officially advanced to the stage of a Primordial Treasure?" Pu Tao asked with a tone of longing.

"Almost the same, just a bit more potent than the Heavenly Dao Will of the Immortal World. With yourself forming a realm, establishing your own Immortal Dao Law."

"When that time comes, you’ll follow me. If I go somewhere, you’ll have control over it."

"The Heaven and Earth Wandao, changing according to my will. Speaking into existence, generating Dao with a single word."

"Unfortunately, that day is far off~" Xu Fan speculated.

"Take this Time Palace avatar, the aura it emits could be helpful to you." Xu Fan said.

"Yes, master." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this time, Xu Fan suddenly felt engulfed in a special field created by Pu Tao’s main body.

"Within this area, master can speak something into existence. One word generates Dao." Pu Tao’s voice echoed.

"This can’t even be considered a low-grade version. You take it back. It’s a hasty waste of origin." Xu Fan said with a smile.

Pu Tao retracted her area silently.

At this time, Xu Fan suddenly sensed an unexpected figure appearing in the sect.

A golden hand appeared, probing into the void, and pulled Han Feiyu out directly.

"In just a hundred years, you thought that the little proficiency you’ve gained outside can be concealed from me?" Xu Fan looked at the panic-stricken Han Feiyu and laughed.
