Chapter 1301: Departure

The Lord of the Demon Domain looked as if he had taken some kind of stimulant, and Xu Fan couldn’t help but feel curious about it.

“I came here to ask if it’s possible to extract chaotic truth from chaotic saint-level giant beasts,” the Lord of the Demon Domain asked.

“I haven’t tried it yet, but if I get the chance to encounter one, I’ll definitely look into it,” Xu Fan replied.

While working on a method to extract chaotic truth from the Chaotic Holy Dragon, Xu Fan had already considered this possibility.

If he could actually extract it from chaotic saint-level giant beasts, it would be a game-changer.

“Sure, we’ll be staying in the Chaotic Mist Area for a long time anyway.”

“When the time comes, Yuan Lord and I can capture a few chaotic giant beasts for you to study,” the Lord of the Demon Domain said excitedly.

“Absolutely. If this works, it could open up a whole new path for the Great Saint Powerful Beings of the human race,” Xu Fan nodded in agreement.

At that moment, a quasi-saint level puppet brought in two cups of tea.

After finishing their tea, the Lord of the Demon Domain took his leave.

Over the next ten years, the entire Hidden Spirit Sect began preparing for their journey to the Three Thousand Realms.

In the Thunderstorm Immortal Realm, Li Lei Hu appeared before Butcher Li.

“Dad, I’m planning to leave the Three Thousand Realms with the sect and explore beyond the Chaotic Mist Area,” Li Lei Hu announced.

Hearing this, Butcher Li, whose eyes usually flashed with lightning, grew calm.

“How long will you be gone?” After a long pause, Butcher Li finally managed to ask.

“I’m not sure. It could be a hundred thousand years, or even a million. It’s hard to say,” Li Lei Hu said, pulling out a piece of lightning jade.

“I got this from the Grand Elder for you. Wearing it will help you control the chaotic thunder path within you.”

He placed the lightning jade into Butcher Li’s hands.

In an instant, the thunderous aura surrounding Butcher Li visibly dissipated.

He returned to his original appearance.

“The Grand Elder has shown us immense kindness. I’ll never forget this,” Butcher Li said, visibly moved.

“Dad, don’t worry. My life belongs to the sect and the Grand Elder,” Li Lei Hu said with a grin.

With a wave of his hand, a light curtain appeared.

On it, a six-year-old boy played with various little beasts in a sea of flowers.

“This is your grandson. He’s six years old, and his name is Li Tianyun.”

Butcher Li looked at the boy in the light curtain, who looked just like Li Lei Hu did as a child, and his expression softened.

Then, he smacked Li Lei Hu on the head.

“You little rascal! You didn’t even tell me you had a child!” Butcher Li scolded.

“You were still in your dormant state when I found out. Coming to you then wouldn’t have made a difference,” Li Lei Hu replied, feeling a bit wronged.

“You should’ve told me about something as important as having a grandson. That’s on you,” Butcher Li said, his eyes fixed on the six-year-old boy in the light curtain.

“The Li family finally has an heir!”

At that moment, Butcher Li seemed to revert to the rough village man who used to slaughter meat.

Hearing this, Li Lei Hu was at a loss for words.

As a Great Luo Sage within the Hidden Spirit Sect, he was practically immortal, and the notion of having or not having a future no longer mattered.

Li Lei Hu extended his hand, and several crystals of the chaotic thunder path materialized in his palm.

“This is all I have; trade it for some Xuanhuang aura or something. Buy my precious grandson some toys and snacks,” Butcher Li said, his eyes brimming with affection for the little boy.

“Dad, if you love your grandson so much, I can ask the Grand Elder to sever your connection to this realm’s thunder path so you can leave the Three Thousand Realms with us,” Li Lei Hu suggested.

“You little rascal, how can I just give up such a great opportunity?”

“If I were to separate, my current strength is only that of a Golden Immortal. In the Hidden Spirit Sect, I’d be insignificant.”

“If I endure in this realm for another few hundred thousand years, I could become a Thunder Great Saint. Wouldn’t that be better?” Butcher Li glanced at Li Lei Hu.

“When your grandson grows up, I’ll be content just seeing him visit me,” Butcher Li said, preserving that moment in the light curtain completely.

“Alright.”

Outside a renowned delicacy Immortal Realm, a female disciple from the Hidden Spirit Sect exuded the aura of a Great Luo Sage.

Her eyes gleamed as she gazed at the Immortal Realm before her.

“Grape, mark all the delicacies in this realm for me. I want to fill my delicacy space,” Eryuan instructed.

A light curtain appeared before Eryuan, displaying a map of the entire Immortal Realm.

The map was densely marked with locations of delicacies from various immortal domains.

In another Immortal Realm, a Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple was bidding farewell to friends.

On Wanquing Island, Zhang Weiyun looked at her senior and junior sisters with a tinge of reluctance.

“It’s not a final goodbye; it’s just a trip,” Zhang Weiyun’s senior sister reassured her.

“Right, senior sister, don’t forget to bring us gifts when you return,” Zhang Weiyun’s junior sister said with a smile.

As the departure time neared, all Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples began to return.

At the agreed time, Hidden Spirit Island slowly rose from the ground, then broke through space to appear outside the Yuanshi Sect.

By then, Yuan Lord was already waiting in the Human Palace.

“Bring your sect into the Human Palace. It’s safer this way,” Yuan Lord said.

The Human Palace is the top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, with Defensive Strength surpassing that of the Heavenly and Earthly Linglong Tower.

Xu Fan didn’t hesitate and guided Hidden Spirit Island into the Human Palace.

Then, the Human Palace broke through space and flew deep into the Chaotic Mist Area.

Inside the Human Palace, Yuan Lord, the Lord of the Demon Domain, and Xu Fan gathered.

A massive light curtain appeared before the three of them.

Looking at the planned route, Xu Fan suddenly focused on a Heavenly Road outside the God Demon Empire.

The endpoint of that Heavenly Road happened to align with the entrance of a secret path.

Just as Xu Fan was about to ask, the Lord of the Demon Domain interrupted.

“Don’t ask; if you do, it means there’s no way.”

The Lord of the Demon Domain’s words made Xu Fan drop the thought. After all, reaching that location would take some time, and they weren’t in a hurry, sparing the Lord of the Demon Domain from any compromise.

“What’s the status of the Chaotic Holy Dragon?” Yuan Lord asked, rubbing his hands as he looked at Xu Fan.

“The extraction has already begun,” Xu Fan replied, a miniature small world appearing in his hand, where the body of the Chaotic Holy Dragon was gradually dissolving.

“Through recent optimizations, it will only take three thousand years to extract chaotic truth from the Chaotic Holy Dragon.”

This small world, dedicated to decomposing the Chaotic Holy Dragon, was managed by Grape, who didn’t need to lift a finger.

“Good. When the time comes, I’ll get you a chaotic saint-level giant beast to study.”

“If we can extract chaotic truth from the giant beast, our human race will soar to new heights.”

“In the future, rivaling those chaotic empires won’t be a problem,” Yuan Lord envisioned a bright future.

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Demon Domain imagined the time for happiness that awaited once he had enough chaotic truth.
