Chapter 1307: The Heavenly Merchant Clan

After giving his instructions, Xu Fan began to observe the Chaotic Mist Area outside the two Great God or Demon Empires.

A mass of chaotic aura was drawn into Xu Fan’s hand.

“This is different; the chaotic aura here is not the same as what’s between the two Great God or Demon Empires,” Xu Fan observed.

“It feels like there’s something extra here that I can’t quite place.”

As he spoke, Xu Fan began refining the chaotic aura in his hand.

At that moment, the disciples sealed within the sect slowly started to awaken, and the entire sect began to buzz with activity once more.

A cup of steaming tea was placed beside Xu Fan.

“Husband, have we left that place?” Zhang Weiyun’s voice rang out.

“We’ve left. Right now, we’re heading toward the chaotic center,” Xu Fan replied, taking a sip of the tea.

As the Hidden Spirit Island sailed on, chaotic calamity clouds suddenly began to gather around it.

They locked onto several disciples from the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Xu Yuexian, Xiong Li, Wang Xuanxin, Xiang Yun, and others began their breakthroughs.

Watching the calamity clouds, Xu Fan’s expression grew serious.

“The Chaos Great Path Laws in the chaotic area of the Three Thousand Realms have been altered by a powerful being.”

“Moreover, they’ve restricted the path for living beings within the realm to advance to chaotic saints.”

By now, the chaotic aura Xu Fan was refining had transformed into an inexplicable power, finer than a strand of hair by millions of times.

“Here, there are no restrictions to becoming a chaotic saint. Perhaps chaotic truth isn’t even necessary,” Xu Fan remarked, examining the thin threads of mysterious power in his hand.

Just then, Yuan Lord and Lord of the Demon Domain, who hadn’t gone far, both sent messages to Xu Fan, informing him of the anomalies in the chaotic aura.

“I’ve noticed it and am currently investigating further,” Xu Fan replied briefly.

Meanwhile, the individuals in the chaotic area began to undergo their tribulations.

“Why does this saint’s tribulation feel so weak? It’s not even as intense as the peak master’s power in the star region.”

“Exactly! If this is what becoming a saint is like, I wouldn’t need to prepare much at all.”

“If I’d known, I wouldn’t have exchanged for those Spiritual Treasures from the treasury.”

As they watched the tribulations unfold, the Hidden Spirit Sect disciples discussed among themselves.

“It’s even simpler than undergoing a saint’s tribulation in the star region of the Three Thousand Realms,” Xu Fan said, observing the chaotic calamity clouds.

Just as Xu Fan thought this was merely a straightforward tribulation, the surrounding chaotic area began to tremble.

Chaotic giant beasts started appearing one after another within Grape’s detection range, and their numbers kept growing.

“Master, the chaotic thunderclouds seem to be attracting the attention of the giant beasts.”

“That’s fine. Just keep an eye on the saint-level chaotic giant beasts,” Xu Fan said, as Number Three and Number Four appeared behind him, radiating an inexplicable aura.

The tribulations of the group lasted for half a month.

During this half month, Number Three and Number Four had quite the killing spree.

Hidden Spirit Island continued its journey toward the center of the Chaotic Mist Area.

Several individuals who had advanced to quasi-saints appeared in Xu Fan’s courtyard.

“One innate supreme treasure for each person; go to the treasury and collect it,” Xu Fan said, handing each of them a jade plate.

“This contains the true understanding of the Chaos Great Path Laws to cultivate to Great Saint, so follow this if you don’t have your own direction.”

These techniques were frameworks derived by Xu Fan, then tailored specifically by Grape for each disciple according to the Chaos Great Path Laws.

“Thank you, Master (Grand Elder),” the newly advanced quasi-saints bowed in gratitude.

Just then, Xu Fan suddenly received a report from Grape.

The Human Palace had appeared within Grape’s detection range.

Half a day later, Xu Fan and Yuan Lord met in a pavilion set amidst a sea of flowers on Hidden Spirit Island.

“I’ve thought about it, and we still have a distance to travel to reach the chaotic center; it’s better if we travel together.”

“Additionally, I want to discuss that extra thing within the chaotic aura,” Yuan Lord said.

“The chaotic area where our Three Thousand Realms are located is restricted by the two Great God or Demon Empires, and they have severed the path for advancing to chaotic saints,” Xu Fan shared his findings.

“As soon as we leave the area of the two Great God or Demon Empires, I feel that if I cultivate here for several tens of thousands of epochs, I can advance to chaotic saint.”

“However, overall, it’s not as fast as absorbing chaotic truth,” Yuan Lord noted, looking at Xu Fan with keen eyes.

“Master, another trace of the Lord of the Demon Domain has been detected in the area.”

In the pavilion, Xu Fan, Yuan Lord, and Lord of the Demon Domain exchanged glances.

“Let’s head to the chaotic center first; thinking about not being able to absorb that kind of chaotic aura makes me uneasy.”

“While we’re in the chaotic center, let’s hunt a few chaotic saint-level giant beasts,” Lord of the Demon Domain suggested.

“Agreed.”

Thus, the three groups that had just separated gathered again.

The Human Palace sailed through the Chaotic Mist Area for one hundred years’ time.

“A fleet is approaching us; their speed is faster than ours, so be cautious,” Yuan Lord’s voice echoed within the Human Palace.

“What’s there to be careful about? If they’re strong, we’ll run; if they’re weak, we’ll fight,” Lord of the Demon Domain waved his hand dismissively.

“That makes sense.”

“Greetings, friends ahead, we are the Heavenly Merchant Clan. Meeting here in such a remote place is fate; how about a chat?”

A voice composed of the most basic Chaos Great Path Laws rang out, understandable to everyone present.

Yuan Lord thought for a moment, then controlled the Human Palace to stop and meet the Heavenly Merchant Clan’s fleet.

Xu Fan looked at the fleet of the Heavenly Merchant Clan, his eyes brightening.

“Six giant ships, each one at the level of Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, uniform in style. It seems this Heavenly Merchant Clan fleet is quite powerful,” Xu Fan transmitted a message to Yuan Lord.

A humanoid figure with large ears and yellowish skin, looking simple and honest, appeared on the fleet.

“I mean no harm; I just wish to exchange some words with you.”

As he spoke, a postnatal Spiritual Treasure flew toward the Human Palace, containing various information about the chaotic center.

This was exactly what Xu Fan and the others needed.

“Darn, they figured it out at a glance,” Lord of the Demon Domain remarked, looking at the information.

A massive platform appeared between the fleet and the Human Palace.

The members of the Heavenly Merchant Clan warmly welcomed Yuan Lord, Xu Fan, and the others for tea.

“Friends, what is your race called?” the leader of the Heavenly Merchant Clan asked.

“Human race,” Yuan Lord replied.

“We are the Heavenly Merchant Clan, one of the thirteen major races of the chaotic center.”

“Our clan does not favor battle; we prefer trade with the various races, collecting all treasures of the Chaotic Mist Area,” the Heavenly Merchant Clan smiled as they spoke.

Then, the member of the Heavenly Merchant Clan looked at Yuan Lord and took out a spirit pearl of Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure level.

“This is our clan’s unique Heavenly Position Pearl. No matter where you are, you can contact us through the pearl.”

“This pearl contains a detailed map and introduction of the chaotic center area, and I believe it will be useful to you.”

Seeing the welcoming gift from the Heavenly Merchant Clan, Xu Fan felt a bit embarrassed.

Thus, he took out a small mass of chaotic aura containing chaotic truth as a return gift.
