Chapter 1305: An Honest Child

“That chaotic truth is truly wasted on you,” Yuan Lord said with a hint of regret.

“It’s not a waste. At least it gave me a taste of what it feels like to be a chaotic saint,” Lord of the Demon Domain said with a blissful expression.

“The feeling of controlling countless light armors in the Chaotic Mist Area is absolutely exhilarating.”

“Xu the Divine Master, you should keep your distance from Lord of the Demon Domain in the future. If he can’t absorb chaotic aura, he’ll definitely come after you,” Yuan Lord said lightly.

Xu Fan nodded seriously.

Just then, Zhang Weiyun brought over a plate of snacks and placed it on the table.

Xu Fan sipped his tea and glanced at the two, who showed no intention of leaving, feeling a bit exasperated.

“Seniors, the chaotic aura will be delivered to you in half a month,” Xu Fan said.

“No problem, half a month is fine. We can use this time to chat,” Yuan Lord said with a smile.

“Exactly, we’re recovering our spirits right now, and enjoying some tea and conversation is perfect,” Lord of the Demon Domain added.

The three of them engaged in awkward small talk and didn’t leave until half a month later, when they finally received their share of chaotic aura.

In the underground space, Xu Fan absorbed the chaotic aura while analyzing the system runic sphere within his spirit.

“Not bad, the analysis speed is over a hundred times faster than before. I’m one step closer to becoming a Great Saint,” Xu Fan said with a wry smile as he gazed at the massive system runic sphere, which looked like a star.

According to his calculations, once he fully absorbed two and a half portions of chaotic aura from one hundred chaotic saint-level giant beasts, he would be able to advance to Great Saint.

“Grape, any progress on extracting chaotic truth from this chaotic aura?” Xu Fan asked.

“Not yet, still working on it,” Grape replied succinctly.

“Got it.”

Xu Fan closed his eyes and re-entered the spirit space to continue decrypting the system.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Spirit Sect, inside Han Feiyu’s luxurious cave dwelling.

“You want me to put this chaotic aura into the jade gourd?” Han Feiyu asked, staring at the light sphere in front of him.

“Yes, it’s an experiment. If it can generate more chaotic aura, it’ll be more valuable than the Primordial Purple Qi crystal,” Grape replied.

Han Feiyu hesitated as he looked at the gaseous chaotic aura.

“Can it be turned into a solid crystal? It’d be easier to work with in the jade gourd,” Han Feiyu suggested.

“It can’t solidify; it can only exist in this form,” Grape answered.

“Alright then,” Han Feiyu said, guiding the chaotic aura into the jade gourd.

Almost immediately, he felt a wave of excitement and desire emanating from the jade gourd.

“Grape, it seems the jade gourd has absorbed the chaotic aura. Do you have any more? If I can get more, my jade gourd might advance,” Han Feiyu said excitedly.

“There’s no more. This was just an experiment. If it doesn’t yield anything, that’s it,” Grape said before leaving Han Feiyu’s cave dwelling.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, each disciple’s cave or courtyard is considered private, and Grape could only enter with permission.

“Alright, Grape. If you come across more of this chaotic aura, let me know. I’d like to buy some.”

In the Chaotic Mist Area, as the Human Palace was moving forward, it was suddenly struck by a powerful fluctuation of battle.

The jolt was felt by everyone inside the Human Palace.

Xu Fan’s clone appeared within the Human Palace.

“There’s a battle between chaotic gods or demons over there. We’ll need to take a detour,” Yuan Lord said.

“A detour isn’t a big deal. We might even stumble upon a chaotic giant beast,” Lord of the Demon Domain said nonchalantly.

“I’m thinking we should check it out. Who knows, we might get lucky and benefit from it,” Yuan Lord said, his eyes gleaming with a strange excitement.

“No, it’s better to play it safe,” one of the human race elders advised.

“Exactly. We’re no match for a battle between chaotic saint-level gods or demons,” Lord of the Demon Domain added.

Even though they could currently slay chaotic saint-level giant beasts, facing chaotic saint-level gods or demons would be suicide, even if their numbers doubled.

“Then let’s take the detour,” Yuan Lord said, steering the Human Palace to change course.

However, during this time, the Human Palace was still occasionally hit by waves of battle fluctuations, one after another.

This made it hard for everyone inside to stay calm.

Xu Fan couldn’t focus on decrypting the system, so he decided to study the battle fluctuations instead.

“Holy light, heavenly destruction, fire, gold…” Xu Fan analyzed the chaotic waves.

Suddenly, a massive divine thought locked onto the Human Palace.

For a moment, everyone inside tensed up.

But soon, the thought vanished.

It was as if a god had glanced at ants, found them uninteresting, and looked away.

Thirty years later, they finally bypassed the battle zone.

As soon as they left the area, they discovered a small Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein in a region dense with chaotic aura.

“Not bad, an unexpected joy,” Yuan Lord said, pleased.

“This small Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein is worth at least four Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures,” Lord of the Demon Domain remarked.

“Let’s split it equally. Everyone gets a share,” Yuan Lord said as he collected the Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein.

He then handed out space celestial tools containing the divided Primordial Purple Qi crystals.

This unexpected delight lifted the spirits of everyone in the Human Palace.

But it wasn’t long before the Human Palace was blocked.

Thousands of Great Saint-level chaotic giant beasts surrounded the Human Palace.

At that moment, a voice rang out.

“Creatures from within the realm dare to steal my Primordial Purple Qi crystals?”

“If you want to live, hand over double the amount.”

The Great Saint-level chaotic giant beasts parted, making way.

A god or demon radiating the aura of a chaotic saint appeared.

Yuan Lord stepped forward atop the Human Palace and addressed the god or demon, “If I double the amount of Primordial Purple Qi crystals, will you let us pass?”

The virtual image of a star gate appeared behind Yuan Lord. If the chaotic god or demon made a move, the Human Palace would escape immediately.

“Your Primordial Supreme Treasure carries the aura of an old friend of mine.”

“Consider it fate. Hand over all the Primordial Purple Qi crystals, and I’ll let you go,” the chaotic god or demon said, gazing nostalgically at the star gate behind Yuan Lord.

Just like that, the Primordial Purple Qi crystals they had just obtained were taken away.

The chaotic god or demon kept their word and allowed the Human Palace to pass.

“I didn’t expect these gods and demons to be so trustworthy,” Xu Fan remarked.

“Here’s something interesting: gods and demons rarely lie unless absolutely necessary. It’s as if something compels them to be honest,” Yuan Lord explained.

“They don’t lie unless necessary,” Xu Fan murmured.

“Exactly. In the Three Thousand Realms, there have been times when chaotic saint-level gods or demons targeted us, and we used this to our advantage, making bets to get them to leave,” Yuan Lord said.
