Goodbye White-haired Girl

After bidding farewell to Wu Lingyun's mother, Xiao Fan took Wu Lingyun with him.

He replicated his previous feat, molding a grand Universe with his bare hands for Wu Lingyun to inhabit alone.

She, too, would reside within the boundless Holy Intention, undergoing its baptism.

Upon completing all this, Xiao Fan felt his state of mind reach Perfection.

The shackles of the Heavenly Dao Saint began to loosen, and the Law power surged.

"Am I finally entering the Dao Saint Realm?"

A surge of joy filled Xiao Fan's heart as he leaped out of the vast Star River, standing suspended in mid-air.

He began to extract and refine the Laws wandering between heaven and earth, and his long-dormant Qi started to violently stir.

Logically, comprehending the power of Law requires a calm mind for deep insight.

However, Xiao Fan acted as he pleased, unconstrained by formalities; his comprehension of Law far surpassed that of other Saints.

Whether it was unorthodox Dao, or the grand Dao of Five Elements, light and shadow, time, and space, Xiao Fan could comprehend them with his heart.

Time flowed by, little by little.

One year…

Ten years…

A hundred years…

He remained seated above the vast Star River, like a stone sculpture, unmoving as a mountain.

Xiao Fang, feeling bored being kept in the Chronospace Codex, wanted to come out and see what he was doing, only to find Xiao Fan was undergoing a Breakthrough.

"If you wanted to Break through your Realm, Daddy, you should have told me earlier."

Xiao Fang held the Chronospace Codex in her hands, clasping it between her palms.

The next moment, as she released her hands, golden specks of light flew out from the Chronospace Codex, swirling around Xiao Fan's body.

And all childishness vanished from Xiao Fang's face, leaving only profundity and power.

Her body was covered in transparent ribbons; upon closer inspection, they were strands of the River of Time, held in her grasp.

Used at her command!

Xiao Fang was accelerating Xiao Fan's Cultivation!

Previously, Xiao Fan only used this to accelerate time for leisure and entertainment, which didn't require a particularly large consumption of Law power.

Just injecting some Saintly Way power could sustain millions of years of time acceleration.

However, to use the Chronospace Codex to support a Saint's Cultivation, the cost required was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Yet, Xiao Fang could accomplish it, with effortless ease.

Xiao Fan felt the flow of time around him quicken; he suddenly opened his eyes, only to see Xiao Fang smiling at him.

"Xiao Fang, you won't be in danger doing this, will you?"

"Probably not, it's quite obedient."

Xiao Fang said, pointing to the River of Time.

Seeing that she was unharmed, Xiao Fan simply exerted his full strength to accelerate, refining these grand Dao Laws from heaven and earth and incorporating them into himself.

Xiao Fang's full assistance rapidly increased Xiao Fan's refining speed; he completely refined all the grand Dao Laws within his body in just one day.

With the circulation of a grand Dao sound, Xiao Fan's Qi surged, and Laws rippled.

In an instant, purple auspicious clouds began to float across the heavens and earth, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles across the Star River.

He possessed a tribulation-free body, so there would be no Heavenly Tribulation during his Breakthrough.

However, the auspicious clouds and propitious colors that followed his Breakthrough would certainly not be few.

These vast celestial phenomena caused the entire Star River to rejoice, but similarly, some were secretly peeking to see who was causing such grand anomalies.

"Who is Breaking through there?"

"Such a powerful Qi, and the River of Time is even rippling."

"The sound of the Dao is circulating, that's a Dao Saint!"

...

Some ancient Saints opened their eyes, looking towards this place.

However, all they saw was a void, surrounded by a misty Star River.

But among these individuals, an exceptionally powerful existence also looked over.

That keen gaze was about to penetrate the clouds and see through him.

Xiao Fan, unwilling to show weakness, waved his hand to cut off the gaze and replied:

"I am merely cultivating quietly, you needn't be like this."

The owner of the gaze was precisely the white-haired girl.

She sensed a dangerous aura.

Not a life-threatening danger, but a premonition that she would fall into this person's hands.

The two conversed across space.

The white-haired girl's childish voice, like silver bells, said:

"Who are you? Why have I never sensed your Qi in this Universe?"

Xiao Fan retorted, "Should you be omniscient and omnipotent, knowing everything like the back of your hand?"

The white-haired girl was stunned; she had not yet reached that Realm.

Perhaps when she reached the highest Saint Realm, she would be able to achieve omniscience and omnipotence, capable of anything.

"If there's no danger, why not reveal your true appearance?"

"It's better for everyone to maintain a sense of mystery." Xiao Fan smiled indifferently, embracing Xiao Fang and disappearing without a trace.

The white-haired girl wanted to investigate but had no way to proceed.

"Who exactly is he? Why can he resist my power?"

"The power contained in my recent investigation, besides her, no one else should be able to resist it."

"Could it be that in this world, there exists an entity comparable to that fellow?"

The white-haired girl's heart was filled with doubt; could it be that someone had been lurking in the shadows from the very beginning?

...

...

Xiao Fang did not become weak like before due to upgrading the Chronospace Codex.

She still lay quietly in Xiao Fan's arms, seemingly unaffected.

"Daddy, that woman just now was so rude, why didn't you hit her?"

Xiao Fan's expression became a little strange upon hearing this.

"Ah, why should I hit her?"

"Because she was very rude!"

"Uh, well, you'll understand later."

"Oh, okay."

"I think girls should be a bit gentler. From now on, Xiao Fang, when you encounter such things, it's best to calm down."

"Mm, Xiao Fang will." (She nodded obediently)

Xiao Fan rubbed her little head, guiding her towards positive development.

Xiao Fang's mood underwent a slight change; with her means of controlling the River of Time, if she harbored thoughts of casually killing others, the heavens and earth would likely be overturned.

At the same time, Xiao Fan silently thought to himself:

"System, can you discern Xiao Fang's essence? Any information will do."

[Unable to do so.]

[She is an existence I cannot see through.]

[However, she has a natural affinity and fondness for you, perhaps this is fate; as long as she doesn't harm you, that's all that matters.]

Xiao Fan looked down at the childish face nestled in his arms, resting, and hugged her with some tenderness.

Yes, who cares who she is.

It's enough that she recognizes me as her Daddy.

...

...

When Xiao Fang drew from the River of Time, the surrounding hundreds of millions of miles of heaven and earth on the other side no longer changed color.

The sky was as if frozen; clouds no longer drifted.

Butterflies flying in the air were held still, then fell straight to the ground.

A tiger chasing its prey, mid-leap, became fixed in its action and slammed into a tree.

The heartbeats of all living beings ceased; the entire world became still.

Someone sensed the changes here and wanted to investigate.

But the moment that person entered, their time was also taken, becoming a human statue.

This place became a Forbidden Ground without time; everything returned to tranquility.

The reason for this change remained unknown to anyone.

People could only attribute it to divine punishment, believing someone must have angered the heavens.

To avoid disaster, one could only pray to the heavens for blessings.

Some even proposed sacrificing living people to the heavens, praying for divine grace.

But others objected, believing this would harm the human world.

The two sides, due to differing beliefs, erupted into a great war that lasted for countless ages, with no end in sight.

Xiao Fan never dreamed that his casual Cultivation would cause the world to go mad.

A Dao Saint's Cultivation, when applied to a minor Cultivator, would be an unbearable burden.
