In Xu Fan’s courtyard, a big black bear lay on Xu Fan’s lounge chair, leisurely staring at the sky, its body swaying along with the swaying of the lounge chair.

At this moment, a puppet carrying a food box came to the black bear’s side.

“Elder Bear Second, it’s time to eat,” the puppet said.

“Alright,” the black bear responded amiably. This was his favorite part of the day.

After the puppet left, the black bear deftly opened the food box with its claws and began eating the food inside.

“Brother Xu was right, the more vast the heaven and earth, the more it can alleviate the pain of time passing.”

Just then, a cloud drifted across the sky.

Bear Second waved a claw, and the cloud turned into the shape of a large bear.

“Interesting” Bear Second waved his claws again, and a rule-based force was injected into the Sect’s Grand Formation.

From then on, all the clouds above the Hidden Spirit Sect turned into the shape of large bears. This continued until ten thousand years later, when someone couldn’t bear it anymore and the clouds returned to their original shapes.

Three days later, Xu Fan came out of his room.

Bear Second, who was lying on the lounge chair, jumped down.

“Brother Xu, you’re out of seclusion,” Bear Second said with a wide grin.

“Well, it doesn’t take much time to stabilize my cultivation level,” Xu Fan smiled and waved his hand, and another lounge chair appeared.

Xu Fan and Bear Second both lay down on their lounge chairs, their poses and expressions identical.

“Do you remember where your Ancient Demon True Body was sealed?” Xu Fan asked.

“I remember. It’s there. I can sense it,” Bear Second pointed in a direction and his eyes filled with memories.

“If there’s a chance, I’ll take you there to see it, but it will probably be quite tough to bring out your Ancient Demon True God,” said Xu Fan.

“Forget it. Brother Xu, don’t bother taking me there. In my inheritance memory, the Ancient Demons have already been restricted by this world,” Bear Second said and waved another Inheritance Light Ball towards Xu Fan.

“It’s just that I am now considered an Exotic Spirit state, barely half an Artifact Spirit of the Yuan Bell Sword. You can take me with you when you ascend to the Immortal World,” Bear Second laughed.

“Alright, you can stay in the Hidden Spirit Sect for now. When you have nothing to do in the future, you can go out and roam around. No one in the Cultivation World and the Demon Clan can stop you now,” Xu Fan said, casually accepting the Inheritance Light Ball from Bear Second’s hand. It contained the cultivation techniques and divine abilities of the Ancient Demon True Spirit.

As for Bear Second’s combat power, Xu Fan had a clear understanding of it. If there was a reference, it would be considered slightly stronger than Zhan Ling with the Heavy Water Origin Blade.

“There’s nothing much to go out for. I’ll just stay by Brother Xu’s side. I feel like I can stay in such a large sect as Brother Xu for tens of thousands of years without any problems,” Bear Second said innocently.

So you’re measuring how many thousands of years you can stay by the size of the place, Xu Fan thought in his heart.

“Just lying here and watching the clouds drifting by in the sky, I can watch for thousands of years,” Bear Second stared at the sky and said dreamily.

“That’s why you changed the shape of the clouds in the sky to look like you,” Xu Fan looked at the bear-shaped clouds in the sky and said.

“Hehe, I just thought it was fun.”

“Alright, I’m going to check on the sect. Are you coming?” Xu Fan got up and said. Even though he had received reports from Pu Tao during these 5 years, he still preferred to see things with his own eyes.

“Brother Xu, you go ahead. I’ll stay here and watch the clouds for a while,” Bear Second said.

“Alright.”

Xu Fan arrived at the Main Peak, where he saw them waiting for him.

“Master.” The disciples greeted him, all of them with very serious expressions during their salute this time.

“Don’t be so formal, get up.”

“I haven’t seen you all for 500 years.” Xu Fan looked at his five disciples with emotion, having watched them grow up in front of his eyes. Although he did not quite raise them from diapers, he had carefully taught them since they were young.

Honestly, while he was trapped in the sealing space of the Yuan Bell Sword, he thought of his disciples, but also of his long-lost wife.

“Master, we’ve all missed you.” Xu Gang lowered his head and said, wiping away the tears of reunion.

The others all nodded their heads.

“Haha, don’t make it so emotional right from the start,” said Xu Fan, laughing.

As everyone settled down, Xu Fan began to observe their cultivation realm.

“It’s been five years. It seems like you’ve all been practicing the cultivation techniques and divine abilities I left for you diligently, meeting my expectations for you,” Xu Fan said with satisfaction.

“Master, what exactly did you experience in the Yuan Bell Sword? Did it really last 500 years?” Xu Gang asked.

“The speed of time there was different. If I hadn’t forced myself to advance to the God Transformation stage just before my last gasp, using the Heavenly Dao anomaly to escape, I would have had to stay there for thousands of years more,”

“In that confined space with a radius of merely tens of miles and a height of no more than 300 feet, the pain of quietly passing time in a sealed environment was the most unbearable,” Xu Fan said, his eyes showing the vicissitudes of his 500 years.

Seeing the pain in Xu Fan’s eyes brought heartache to those who merely looked into them.

“Now that I’m out, I have two things to do. One is to share my understanding of the Great Dao gained in that small space.”

“The second is to pass on new cultivation techniques and divine abilities to you. These are the fruit of my 500 years of labor.”

Xu Fan waved his hand lightly, and five blue spiritual energy clusters shot out from his hand, entering the foreheads of the five disciples.

“Comprehend it well after you return. It will be very beneficial for your future cultivation.”

Then, Xu Fan took out five jade slips, which recorded the final version of the “Five Elements Secret.”

This is the ultimate version deduced by Xu Fan after 300 years of research, the cultivation technique that could be practiced until the Mahayana stage, and the ultimate arts for hexagon warriors.

Is there a more powerful cultivation technique than “Five Elements Secret” in the world?

Yes. There are techniques with stronger attacks but weaker defense than “Five Elements Secret.”

There are techniques with stronger defense but lower endurance than “Five Elements Secret.”

Cultivation techniques with stronger Illusion Arts but weaker spirit defense than “Five Elements Secret.”

This “Five Elements Secret” had been enhanced by Xu Fan to the limit allowed by the Heavenly Dao of this world, and not a bit more was allowed.

“Master, thank you for your hard work,” said the disciples.

“There’s no need to thank me; I was just killing time in that space,” Xu Fan waved his hand and said. After all, playing with Bear Second got boring.

“Master, what’s the origin of Elder Bear Two?” Xu Gang asked the question he cared about the most.

“Bear Two is an ancient demon True Spirit. However, after experiencing tens of millions years of time-looped cycles in that space, its spiritual wisdom was extinguished and reborn countless times.”

“After our 500 years together, Bear Two has become one of my closest brothers.”

“Its combat power is at the venerable level and can be considered a great help to the sect in the future,” said Xu Fan.
