Chapter 1308: Broadcast

The leader of the Heavenly Merchant Clan examined the small mass of chaotic aura containing chaotic truth, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

“This chaotic aura containing chaotic truth, my friend, do you have more? If you do, our Heavenly Merchant Clan is willing to pay a hefty price for it,” the leader said eagerly, his gaze fixed on Xu Fan.

“I found this in a secret realm; it’s the last bit of chaotic aura containing chaotic truth I have. Consider it a gift,” Xu Fan replied.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Merchant Clan glanced at Yuan Lord and Lord of the Demon Domain to gauge their reactions.

“Five thousand pieces of this chaotic aura can be traded for a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, and one hundred thousand pieces can get you a Primordial Supreme Treasure.”

“If you ever come across more of this chaotic aura and want to sell it, use this positioning pearl to reach out to us,” the leader explained, handing Xu Fan a Heavenly Position Pearl.

“Alright, if I find more, I’ll let you know,” Xu Fan said, accepting the pearl and nodding, already calculating the value of the chaotic aura in his mind.

“Our Heavenly Merchant Clan loves making friends, and meeting three powerful Human Warriors like you is an honor.”

“Why don’t we celebrate this meeting by sharing delicacies from our cultures?” the leader suggested, instructing his clan to prepare a feast.

Yuan Lord nodded in agreement, signaling the Yuanshi Sect to do the same.

Three days later, the Human Palace resumed its journey toward the chaotic center.

At this point, Yuan Lord and Lord of the Demon Domain approached Xu Fan.

“Xu the Divine Master, how many chaotic giant beasts would we need to hunt to gather one hundred thousand pieces of chaotic aura?” Yuan Lord asked, his eyes gleaming.

As a Great Saint-level powerhouse, there were few things that could spark his interest, but a Primordial Supreme Treasure was definitely one of them.

Lord of the Demon Domain’s eyes were equally bright with anticipation.

“Around 200 chaotic giant beasts,” Xu Fan estimated.

“200? That’s manageable,” they agreed.

The human race had spent countless epochs acquiring only a handful of Primordial Supreme Treasures, so trading for one with 200 chaotic giant beasts seemed like a steal.

“If I can improve the extraction rate of chaotic truth to 40% or 50%, we’ll need even fewer chaotic giant beasts.”

“No rush, though. Let’s explore the chaotic center first and then discuss a hunting plan,” Xu Fan suggested.

“Xu the Divine Master, based on what I’ve learned about the Heavenly Merchant Clan, your special chaotic aura is truly valuable. Once we reach the chaotic center, we’ll have a better idea of its worth,” Yuan Lord remarked.

“Absolutely.”

The Human Palace pressed on toward the chaotic center, though they had to make frequent stops. As they ventured deeper into the Chaotic Mist Area, more disciples from the three sects began advancing to quasi-saint.

Beneath a sprawling expanse of calamity clouds shimmering like light armor, over a hundred disciples were undergoing tribulations together.

The Hidden Spirit Sect had the most participants.

“This feels like lower-level cultivators suddenly stepping into a higher realm.”

“When the cultivation environment improves, breaking through bottlenecks becomes much easier,” Lord of the Demon Domain observed, noting the eight Heavenly Dao Gate disciples among the shimmering calamity clouds.

“Becoming a quasi-saint in the true Chaotic Mist Area is far simpler than in the Three Thousand Realms, and there are no restrictions like luck,” Xu Fan added. Suddenly, he flicked his finger, sending a beam of spiritual light across tens of thousands of miles.

The light pierced through space and entered the body of a female disciple from the Hidden Spirit Sect.

In a flash, he rescued the female disciple from peril, enduring the final thunder calamity.

“You really do care for your disciples,” Yuan Lord chuckled from a distance.

“How could I abandon those I’ve nurtured with such care?” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

The female disciple practiced unconventional paths, so she wasn’t particularly adept at facing the thunder calamity.

Half a month later, as the calamity clouds dissipated, the Human Palace continued its journey.

At that moment, Yuan Lord spotted a point of light ahead, growing larger as they approached.

Upon nearing it, they discovered an open-world realm even larger than the Three Thousand Realms.

The Human Palace also received word that this place was a major trading hub.

“How about we stop here for a rest?” Yuan Lord suggested, gazing at the vast open world.

By then, hundreds of fleets had gathered around the Human Palace, most of them well-organized, with even the weakest fleet being of innate supreme treasure level.

“Let’s check it out; there must be some good stuff inside,” Lord of the Demon Domain said eagerly.

Just then, a powerful aura surged from the distance.

They saw six massive flying ships, larger than anything in the Immortal Realm, speeding toward the trading hub.

“This fleet must have chaotic saint-level powerhouses guarding it,” Yuan Lord remarked, sensing the aura.

“That’s the fleet of the Holy Spirit Clan,” Xu Fan stated.

“The Holy Spirit Clan, one of the thirteen races in the chaotic center? Now that’s prestige,” Lord of the Demon Domain commented.

The Holy Spirit Clan’s fleet quickly entered the vast trading hub.

At that moment, Xu Fan noticed something odd.

Fleets that hadn’t yet entered the open world were turning around and leaving.

Soon, it became clear that the open world was a dangerous place, as countless fleets fled at top speed.

Seeing this, Yuan Lord wasted no time and steered the Human Palace to break the space and leave the area.

“What a shame; we finally found a place to rest, and now…” Lord of the Demon Domain sighed.

“Given what we saw, going in would’ve been a death sentence,” Yuan Lord said. Just then, a strange sound caught their attention.

Xu Fan was tinkering with a postnatal spiritual treasure, and the sound was coming from it.

“This thing can actually pick up public messages from the chaotic center area,” Xu Fan said with a grin.

At that moment, the postnatal spiritual treasure emitted another sound.

“A large-scale chaotic beast tide has been detected from the North Three Domains to the North Six Domains, intensity level 4. Fleets in the area are advised to steer clear.”

“The Heavenly Merchant Clan leader has issued another statement: Our Heavenly Merchant Clan will openly purchase any item using purple gold coins. If the Holy Spirit Clan continues to slander us, we will not hesitate to declare war.”

“The Northern Sea’s primordial artifact master, after 300 million years of relentless effort, has crafted another exquisite Primordial Supreme Treasure, set to be auctioned by the Northern Sea Clan in ten thousand years.”

“The Holy Light Empire begins today…”

Hearing the broadcast gave them a strange sense of novelty.

Just then, the postnatal spiritual treasure received a private message.

“Selling a large quantity of chaotic truth at great prices. Interested parties should head to the Southern Four Trading World.”

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

“Should we go check it out?” Lord of the Demon Domain asked, rubbing his hands together.

“Better not,” Xu Fan said calmly.

“I’ve seen recent news—the Southern Four Trading World was raided by a Chaotic Great Saint-level powerhouse.”
