My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

On the third day after the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect returned, the Thousand Spirit Sect Supreme Elder came back.

“Eldest Brother, you’re finally back. You don’t know how miserable I’ve been. Our fleet is gone, and nearly half of my magical treasures have been destroyed.”

“All the accumulation of so many years is gone in an instant.”

At this moment, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect seemed like a bullied child who had just seen his parent.

“You’ve had it too easy lately. It’s good for you to experience some setbacks.” The Thousand Spirit Sect Supreme Elder spoke slowly.

“Eldest Brother, can you spare me from the 500 Punishment Thunder Whips, considering how pitiful I am?” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect spoke mournfully.

During his life, he had been whipped by the Punishment Thunder Whip twice, and each time it was so painful that he wanted to die. The memory was still fresh.

“This is the ancestral teaching of the sect, which cannot be violated. You know what the consequences are for ordinary disciples. The 500 Punishment Thunder Whips you calculated are quite accurate.”

“What about Old Two and the others? Have any sect disciples or elders been harmed?”

“If there were, their punishments would be increased.” The Thousand Spirit Sect Supreme Elder said indifferently.

Xu Fan was watching this scene from the side and almost burst out laughing. So the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect pretended to be so pitiful just to gain sympathy and avoid the punishment of the Punishment Thunder Whip.

As for the Punishment Thunder Whip, this punishment sounded quite impressive. Xu Fan wondered if he should introduce something similar in the sect after he returned.

“No, not at all. Not a single disciple was lost. They were all protected by me desperately.”

The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect spoke as he took out a Traveling Palace Magical Treasure in the shape of a palace and showed it to the Great Supreme Elder.

“You did a good job on this.” The Elder of the Thousand Spirit Sect nodded his head.

“Can you spare me the Punishment Thunder Whip for doing this well?” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect pleaded pitifully.

“You’re asking me to do something against the sect’s rules.” The Great Supreme Elder looked at the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“Eldest Brother, can you break the rules?” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect asked cautiously.

The Great Supreme Elder laughed while looking at the cautious Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“I will make a decision that breaks the sect’s rules.”

Hearing the Great Supreme Elder’s words, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect instantly became happy.

“I will reward you with a thousand Punishment Thunder Whips since adding five hundred would indeed violate the sect’s rules.” The Great Supreme Elder spoke.

“Eldest Brother, you can’t be like this. I’ve earned merit for the sect! I’ve shed blood for the sect!”

“Adding punishment is too much!”

The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect immediately objected.

“Your merits and bloodshed are far less than the losses you’ve caused. If I don’t teach you a lesson, how can I let you lead the Starship fleet in the future?”

There was a trace of anger in the Great Supreme Elder’s tone, as well as the resentment of steel not turning into iron.

“Eldest Brother, I accept the 500 Punishment Thunder Whips, but spare me the other 500. I’ve learned my lesson.”

Seeing his own eldest brother getting genuinely angry, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect truly became pitiful.

“Do you think I’m someone who can take my words back? The other 500 will be postponed for a hundred years. If you commit any mistakes during that time, they will be executed immediately.” The Thousand Spirit Sect Supreme Elder spoke.

At this moment, Zhan Ling drove Hidden Spirit No.2 back.

Xu Fan saw that the Great Supreme Elder still wanted to reprimand the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect and hurriedly stepped in to save the situation.

“Let’s go home first. Repairing the Starship is important.” Xu Fan said.

“Alright.” The Great Supreme Elder nodded.

A month and a half later, Hidden Spirit No.2 dragged the Classical Starship back to the Hidden Spirit Sect and began the repair of the Classical Starship.

Above the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Xu Fan was fishing with the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“Esteemed One, is the Punishment Thunder Whip really that powerful? You’re afraid like this.” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“The Punishment Thunder Whip is the landmark treasure of our Thousand Spirit Sect, and it’s a top-tier Dao tool.”

“It targets the soul. Once whipped, it directly enters the soul, like forcibly cutting a strip of flesh from your body. And it’s a long strip.”

“Besides that, the key point is that after being whipped, for at least several decades, you would feel a tingling numbness in your soul, accompanied by soul cramps, just like cutting meat with a blunt knife.”

The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect shivered unconsciously as he spoke.

Looking at the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect’s expression and his description, Xu Fan knew that he must have been whipped quite a few times.

“Esteemed One, since you’re going to be whipped anyway, why not learn a divine ability to resist the Punishment Thunder Whip.”

“Now, you still have more than two months before the Classical Starship is repaired, which should be enough time to practice the divine ability to a small degree.”

Xu Fan made a fair suggestion. If he couldn’t solve the problem or the person causing the problem, he’d have to find a way to neutralize them.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect’s eyes lit up, as he remembered that Xu Fan had another identity as a Creator Master.

“Great Master, save me!” The Thousand Spirit Sect Honored One seemed to have grasped the tail of hope.

“Give me one Dao tool, and I will help you deduce a divine ability to resist the Punishment Thunder Whip.” Xu Fan squinted his eyes, as his help was quite expensive.

“One Dao tool…” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect fell into deep thought, as if weighing whether it was worth it or not.

A small bronze bell appeared in the hands of the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“This was given to me by my Eldest Brother when I reached the Combination stage. Now, let’s use it to exchange for a divine ability.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said.

“Esteemed One, you should choose another piece. Keep such a valuable item as a token of memory.” Xu Fan looked at the bronze bell and said.

Such an entry-level Dao tool, so niche, would be useless in his hands.

“Does Great Master find this Dao tool too niche? I’ll change it.”

A small eagle carved from jade appeared in the hands of the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.

“The Soul-controlling Eagle is considered a detection type Dao tool. Its concealment method can’t be detected by ordinary Mahayana[-level] Esteemed Ones.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect introduced.

Xu Fan quickly took the Soul-controlling Eagle and murmured, “Three days’ time.”

“Great Master, do you need only three days to deduce a divine ability?” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said, thinking it would take at least a month.

“How long do you think it will take to deduce a soul armor divine ability?” Xu Fan said with a smile. If it weren’t for giving it right away, for fear that the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect might not think it was worth it, it would only take him half an hour to deduce a divine ability.

“Alright, Great Master, don’t hesitate to deduce it. I’ve paid a high price for this divine ability.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said.

“If all goes well, Esteemed One, you may suffer some physical pain, but your soul will be protected from damage.” Xu Fan promised.

“Great Master, I’m counting on you this time.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect nodded.

Xu Fan nodded, assuring him that there would be no problem.

Three days later, Xu Fan handed the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect a Divine Technique Jade Slip.

After scanning the slip with his Divine Sense, the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect revealed a satisfied expression.

“It’s really not the same with Great Master’s custom-made divine ability.”

“Soul Power Heavy Armor, as immovable as a mountain. As long as it is cultivated to a small degree, it should be able to defend against that Punishment Thunder Whip.” The Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect said with a smile.

“As long as the Esteemed One is satisfied, it’s a good exchange for your Dao tool.” Xu Fan also spoke with a smile.

At the same time, over Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, the Thousand Spirit Sect Supreme Elder who was taking a boat ride to relax simply glanced in the direction of the Honored One of the Thousand Spirit Sect.
