Chapter 1274: The Backup Plan

Sensing the special chaotic aura crystal, Yuan Lord immediately reached out and snatched it from the disciple’s hand.

A final wave of unique chaotic aura spread throughout the grand hall.

Huang Shan took a moment to feel it and was soon lost in memories.

"This feels similar to the chaotic aura from the Ten Thousand Saints Tower you took me to forty thousand years ago, but this one isn’t as pure," Huang Shan recalled.

He still remembered how Yuan Lord, who had been quite frugal back then, had only ordered four dishes, and Huang Shan had barely touched his chopsticks before half the food was gone.

"Yes, this was created by Xu the Divine Master."

"He can produce this chaotic aura. We’ll provide the materials and handle the sales, splitting the profits sixty-forty."

"See, I didn’t take the Primordial Purple Qi crystals from the sect’s treasury for nothing; I’ve also brought a business opportunity to the Yuanshi Sect," Yuan Lord said with a grin.

"A sixty-forty split? You don’t mean sixty for Xu the Divine Master and forty for us, do you?" Huang Shan asked, his brow furrowing.

"Of course, the technique belongs to Xu the Divine Master," Yuan Lord replied matter-of-factly.

"Alright, I’ll take some time to visit a few other major worlds and see if there’s a market for this," Huang Shan said, still sensing the unique chaotic aura.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Spirit Sect, a special cultivation secret realm quietly opened.

Xiong Li appeared in the Source Realm and made his way toward the secret realm cultivation area.

"I’ve hit a bottleneck in the second layer of the Chaos Nine Refinements. I need to find a secret realm rich in chaotic aura to continue my cultivation," Xiong Li thought, eyeing the various cultivation secret realms and unsure which one to choose.

Just then, Grape’s voice chimed in.

"The sect has just launched a new secret realm with chaotic aura that’s easy to absorb. You might want to give it a try."

Hearing Grape’s words, Xiong Li’s expression turned puzzled.

It was the first time he’d ever heard Grape promoting something.

"What’s the price?" Xiong Li asked casually, knowing that the sect usually only charged cost price for such cultivation secret realms.

"One month, one foot of Primordial Purple Qi crystal."

Xiong Li, who had been about to swipe his card, froze in shock and asked again, "How much?"

"That’s so expensive!" Xiong Li exclaimed.

"We’re only charging the cost price," Grape replied.

After a long moment of hesitation, Xiong Li gritted his teeth and stepped into the chaotic aura-infused cultivation secret realm.

As soon as he entered, he felt a distinctly different kind of chaotic aura.

Xiong Li sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

A swirling vortex formed in the secret realm, and endless streams of chaotic aura surged into Xiong Li’s body.

Before he even had to exert much effort, he broke through the second layer of chaos.

A massive aura erupted from the chaotic secret realm, spreading across the entire Source Realm.

Every disciple in the Source Realm felt the overwhelming presence.

"That’s Senior Brother’s aura—it’s even stronger than before," one Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple remarked.

"Senior Brother cultivates the Ninth Layer of Chaos. Not long ago, he was only at the second layer, but now he is suddenly radiating such a massive aura. Could it be a breakthrough?" another Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple analyzed.

At that moment, Wang Xuanxin, who was challenging in the chaotic space of the Source Realm, suddenly stopped her challenge, withdrew to the Source Realm, and carefully sensed Xiong Li’s aura.

"How about we have a battle after your breakthrough?" Wang Xuanxin sent a message to Xiong Li.

But at that time, Xiong Li was focused on stabilizing his third layer of chaos realm and had no time to pay attention to the messages in the communication artifact.

Xu Fan, who was basking in the sun, heard the news and couldn’t help but smile.

"The effect is even greater than expected."

“If we had that one crucial item, all the disciples in our sect could quickly enter the quasi-saint realm,” Xu Fan said.

"Master, the Yuanshi Sect has sent over the materials. Should we start producing chaotic aura crystals?" Grape asked.

"Let’s begin; our sect will rely on this to make money in the future."

Just as Xu Fan wanted Grape to calculate the output and estimate how much money they could make, Avatar Number Three, who followed him closely, suddenly showed signs of movement.

Xu Fan quickly closed his eyes and shifted his consciousness to Avatar Number Three.

At that moment, a group of Great Gods and Demons surrounded the Giant Ship where Wang Yulun was located.

These Great Gods and Demons only surrounded but did not attack; the leader, a Great God or Demon, quietly gazed at the Giant Ship with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

On the deck, Xu Fan came to his good brother’s side.

"Six Great Gods and Demons, they’re not easy to deal with," Xu Fan said, looking at the six Great Gods and Demons surrounding the Giant Ship.

“Big Brother Xu, the leading Great God or Demon is being controlled by the True Self’s essence,” Wang Yulun replied.

“I felt it; otherwise, this group of Great Gods and Demons wouldn’t be idly surrounding you.”

As Xu Fan spoke, he raised his hand and gently pointed at the sky in the Chaotic Mist Area.

A massive chaotic grand formation emerged, which then shattered like glass.

At that moment, all of his good brother’s confidantes in the Giant Ship woke up.

Three Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures floated around Xu Fan.

A knife, a sword, and a tower, while several innate supreme treasures spun around them.

"Leave the leading Great God or Demon to me, and let your confidantes handle the rest."

A huge thousand-hand illusion, resembling a constellation, appeared in the Chaotic Mist Area.

Each hand held a Spiritual Treasure, and the Wheel of Three Thousand Paths materialized behind the thousand-hand illusion.

Then, the entire space in this area was locked.

At this moment, those Great Gods and Demons who sensed the shattering of the chaotic grand formation all became furious.

Six attacks that seemed capable of piercing the world surged toward the Giant Ship.

A transparent Xuanhuang giant tower shielded the entire Giant Ship.

“Tell your confidantes to hurry up and get to work. I can’t handle one against six,” Xu Fan said, then controlled the thousand-hand illusion to slash out a sword light as brilliant as the galaxy.

Then, a giant blade covered in light armor appeared in the Chaotic Mist Area, aimed at the group of leading Great Gods and Demons.

At that moment, Wang Yulun’s confidantes also controlled their Spiritual Treasures to attack the other Great Gods and Demons.

A five-colored chaotic sea suddenly enveloped the surrounding area of hundreds of light armor.

A gigantic shield, formed from five-colored chaotic aura, appeared, blocking the sword light and the giant blade slashed by Xu Fan.

Five giant beasts, crafted from the five elements of chaos, surged from the chaotic sea, radiating Great Saint-level aura.

Immersed in the five-element chaotic sea, the thousand-hand illusion suddenly unleashed a Spiritual Treasure river, isolating the five-element chaotic sea.

Immediately after, the hands merged, forming a high supremacy seal emanating ancient power.

In an instant, all the chaotic lands around were under Xu Fan’s control.

The chaotic five-element sea, which had enveloped hundreds of light armor, dissipated in an instant.

Neither the leading Great God or Demon nor Xu Fan’s thousand-hand illusion moved.

Meanwhile, the other Great Gods and Demons were fiercely engaged in battle with Wang Yulun’s confidantes.

As for the five giant beasts that had just formed, they also vanished when the five-element chaotic sea disappeared.

"How unfortunate; your backup plan wasn’t set up yet before you had to go to work," Xu Fan said softly.
