Chapter 1300: The Feeling of Absorbing Chaotic Truth

"Extracting it is a bit of a hassle and could take thousands of years, with no guarantee of success," Xu Fan said, looking at Yuan Lord.

"But we still need the chaotic truth; it’s too rare to come by," Yuan Lord insisted firmly.

"Alright, I’ll head back and wait for good news," Xu Fan said, waving his hand as the massive Chaotic Holy Dragon was stored in the Spiritual Treasure space.

"I just got word that those old guys lying in wait at the Dragon Nest have also made their move."

"Head back to the Three Thousand Realms; I’ll come find you after the battle there," Yuan Lord instructed.

"Do you need my help?" Xu Fan asked, puzzled, as the original plan was to assist there right after dealing with the Chaotic Holy Dragon.

"No need; just focus on extracting the chaotic truth. That’s what’s important," Yuan Lord said, using the star gate to send Xu Fan back to the courtyard of the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Three Thousand Realms.

"This is quite handy; the treatment is clearly different now," Xu Fan remarked, eyeing the lounge chair in the courtyard.

Previously, Yuan Lord always left Xu Fan at the Yuanshi Sect, but this time he thoughtfully dropped him off at the courtyard.

A mist of chaos appeared, and Li Xingci emerged in the courtyard.

"Welcome back, Master," Li Xingci said, bowing.

He was about to leave the sect when he saw Xu Fan had returned.

"Rise; where are you off to?" Xu Fan asked, noticing Li Xingci’s attire.

"I’m heading to the Cycle of Rebirth to retrieve the Chaotic Xuanluo Flower I brought back; I plan to use this flower as the foundation to advance to quasi-saint," Li Xingci explained.

"Be careful on your way," Xu Fan said, waving his hand as ten Great Saint level god or demon puppets entered Li Xingci’s Spiritual Treasure space.

"Understood, Master," Li Xingci replied respectfully before departing.

Xu Fan reclined in the lounge chair in the courtyard, closing his eyes to restore his spirit.

Although he hadn’t participated in the battle, overseeing the operation of the Primordial Heaven Origin Grand Formation had drained a significant amount of his mental energy.

"Putao, bring a gentle breeze and mix in some floral scent," Xu Fan said with his eyes closed.

"Understood, Master."

A gentle breeze swept through the mountains, accompanied by the fragrance of blooming flowers, imbuing everything with a vibrant sense of life.

A soft voice whispered in Xu Fan’s ear.

"Husband, are you tired? Why not go inside and rest for a while?"

Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes and smiled upon seeing Zhang Weiyun’s stunning face.

He got up and went inside with Zhang Weiyun.

Three days later, while fishing by the lake, Xu Fan spotted Yuan Lord.

"From today onward, the Dragon Race is no longer among the top powerful families of the Three Thousand Realms," Yuan Lord declared.

"Why not wipe them out completely?" Xu Fan asked, curious, as he continued to fish.

"Let them stay; otherwise, it would be too boring."

"Besides, the Dragon Race has lost the protection of powerful beings and is now just a plaything for the top powerful families," Yuan Lord said with a smile.

"So, how’s the extraction of chaotic truth from the Chaotic Holy Dragon going?"

“What else can I do? I’m currently running simulations to make sure I have a 100% chance of success before taking action,” Xu Fan said casually.

“Alright, I came to ask you—now that the Dragon Race is gone, when are we heading out to explore the two Great God or Demon Empires?” Yuan Lord asked.

Hearing this, Xu Fan fell into deep thought.

Yuan Lord didn’t rush him and simply waited quietly by his side.

“Let’s go in 10 years. I need some time to prepare,” Xu Fan finally said.

“Fine, 10 years it is,” Yuan Lord replied, then turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Xu Fan stared at the calm water, his mind wandering off to who knows where.

“Number One has become a Xuanhuang Artifact Master in the Barbarian Beast Empire.”

“Number Two is making waves in the Primordial God Demon Empire and is already close to seeing the final payout,” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

He then shifted his consciousness to Avatar Number Three.

In an unknown world, Wang Yulun was cruising on a Star Ship, enjoying a scenic tour with a group of beautiful companions—a picture-perfect scene.

“Big Brother Xu, have you finished handling things over there?” Wang Yulun asked cheerfully, looking at Xu Fan.

“It’s all done. Now I’m preparing to leave the two Great God or Demon Empires.”

“So, I’m asking you—do you want to come with the sect and explore the outside world?” Xu Fan offered.

“Explore the outside? Sure, why not,” Wang Yulun nodded.

“Head back to the Three Thousand Realms, get your things ready, and we’ll set off,” Xu Fan said, shifting his consciousness back to his main body.

Soon after, all the Great Luo Sage-level disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect received a message.

“The sect will venture deep into the Chaotic Mist Area in 10 years, leaving the region encircled by the two Great God or Demon Empires. Great Luo Sage-level disciples may choose to stay or go.”

Most disciples were thrilled when they read the message.

Over the years, they’d come to realize that their area was surrounded by the two Great God or Demon Empires.

It felt like being in a big fish pond, and everyone was curious about what lay beyond.

In the sect’s guest hall, Xu Fan welcomed Senior Huangshan.

“The twelve Great Saint reincarnations have reached the true immortal realm. It won’t be long before they ascend to Golden Immortal status,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand to project a light curtain displaying the twelve Great Saint reincarnated Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples.

The light curtain provided detailed information about each of the twelve disciples.

“Impressive. Their foundations are solid, which will definitely help them advance to Great Saint in the future,” Huangshan said, nodding in approval as he examined the twelve disciples.

“Senior Huangshan, are you going with Yuan Lord?” Xu Fan asked.

“I’d like to, but someone has to stay behind and protect the human race in the Three Thousand Realms,” Huangshan sighed, though it was clear he also wanted to go out and broaden his horizons.

“Why not let the Lord of the Demon Domain guard the human race? After all, the Heavenly Dao Gate and the Yuanshi Sect are practically one and the same,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“The Lord of the Demon Domain is coming too. With Yuan Lord leaving, he’s taking over a third of the human race’s most powerful beings with him.”

“If something goes wrong during this time, it’ll be hard to manage,” Huangshan pointed out.

“That’s why I came to ask you to leave an avatar in the Three Thousand Realms before you go. If anything unexpected happens, it’ll be easier for you to handle,” Huangshan added.

“Leave an avatar?”

“Yes, preferably one skilled in formations, with at least 80% of your ability,” Huangshan nodded.

“Alright.”

After some more conversation, Huangshan left.

Not long after, the Lord of the Demon Domain arrived.

“Xu the Divine Master, it’s been a while,” the Lord of the Demon Domain greeted with a smile, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

A peculiar aura radiated from him.

“Lord of the Demon Domain, have you touched the chaotic saint realm?” Xu Fan asked, his voice filled with hope.

“Not even close,” the Lord of the Demon Domain replied with a bitter smile.

“Can you tell me what it feels like to absorb the chaotic truth?” Xu Fan asked, curious.

“It’s like a mortal taking a spirit pill that temporarily turns them into an immortal.”

“After absorbing the chaotic truth, I instantly entered the chaotic saint realm.”

“In that moment, it felt like I controlled everything in chaos.”

“My consciousness swept across billions of light armors, and in that instant, I truly understood what chaos is,” the Lord of the Demon Domain said, his expression one of pure bliss.
