Chapter 1330: Thousands of Years

This secret realm of delicacies was a side business started by Xu Fan.

Creating a culinary river using the gourmet avenue didn’t require much effort.

But the profits it brought were a pleasant surprise for Xu Fan.

As a result, from East Zone Two all the way to the Ninth Transfer Exchange World, Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples opened their own secret realms of delicacies.

Xu Fan only needed to replenish a culinary river every thousand years. If he felt lazy, he could even delegate the task to the two Gourmet Disciples, though the results might be slightly less impressive.

In the secret realm of delicacies, a small boat drifted across the serene Long Lake.

“Senior Brother Feiyu, how’s your big business plan coming along?” Jian Wujie asked.

Since entering the transfer exchange world, the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples had broadened their horizons.

In the transfer exchange world, quasi-saint level beings like them were already at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Anyone weaker could only end up as shop assistants in the transfer exchange world.

“I’ve got some ideas now; I’m testing them out,” Han Feiyu replied.

All the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples shared one goal: to earn more Primordial Purple Qi crystals and strive to obtain their own innate supreme treasure or even a full set of them.

In terms of cultivation, the Hidden Spirit Sect had already provided the best Cultivation Secret Realm and true insights into the chaotic wide road.

From the perspective of a cultivator, the only thing they lacked was Primordial Purple Qi crystals.

“Senior Brother Feiyu, care to share? Maybe we can team up and make it big,” Jian Wujie said, his eyes lighting up.

Not long ago, he had spotted a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure-level divine sword in a shop in the First Transfer Exchange World, which perfectly complemented his chaotic swordsmanship.

“Our sect’s Tree of All Things has reached the Great Luo Sage level. With enough Xuanhuang aura, we can condense a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure,” Han Feiyu said, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“Yesterday, I had Grape analyze the market data from the First Transfer Exchange World. It turns out there’s a lot of potential in lower-end items.”

“If we can mass-produce items using the Tree of All Things, within ten thousand years, each of us could easily earn a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.”

Han Feiyu painted a vivid picture of the future, leaving Jian Wujie filled with anticipation.

“Our sect also has quasi-saint level puppets. If we ask Grape to tweak the Production Line, we could make a decent profit,” Han Feiyu added.

“That might not work. Senior Brother Qian Bing is already in that business. Competing with him could strain our relationship,” Jian Wujie quickly pointed out.

“No worries, we can set up shop in other transfer exchange worlds.”

Just then, a group of stunning maidens, formed from chaotic aura, descended from the sky, placing plate after plate of exquisite dishes on the table.

After bowing respectfully to the two, they dissolved back into pure chaotic aura.

“I have to admit, Grape really knows how to run things,” Jian Wujie said, his voice tinged with envy. “It’s said that each secret realm of delicacies in the transfer exchange world earns at least tens of thousands of zhang worth of Primordial Purple Qi crystals daily.”

“Of course! Grape has been with our sect since its founding, staying by the Grand Elder’s side all this time. It’s no wonder it’s so capable,” Han Feiyu said with a smile.

“Master, Little Tian is pretty amazing too.”

A childlike voice echoed in Han Feiyu’s mind.

“You’re great too, but when will you advance to the level of an innate supreme treasure?” Han Feiyu thought to himself.

To nurture Little Tian, this true spirit, he put in immense effort but still couldn’t reach Grape’s level.

Now, the gap between them has only widened.

Over the past thousand years, the first batch of 50 Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures has been delivered.

During this time, the First Transfer Exchange World saw minor changes with the inclusion of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

The reputation of the human race began to spread throughout the First Transfer Exchange World.

When the human race is mentioned, the powerful beings in the First Transfer Exchange World immediately think of delicacies, artifact masters, chaotic formations, and trade stations.

In the Tianluo Realm, a grand Human Palace slowly descended near the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Yuan Lord and his companions arrived cheerfully in the guest hall of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“Over these 1,000 years, we’ve hunted 92 chaotic giant beasts. Here’s the Space-type Spiritual Treasure containing them,” Yuan Lord said, handing a spatial bracelet to Xu Fan.

“92 chaotic giant beasts? You’ve really outdone yourselves!” Xu Fan exclaimed in amazement.

According to Grape’s rough estimates of chaotic saint-level giant beast distribution in the Chaotic Mist Area, Yuan Lord and his team had spent the entire thousand years either fighting or on their way to fight, with hardly any rest.

“What’s that? To become a chaotic saint, I’d gladly keep going for another 100,000 years,” the Body Refinement Elder said with enthusiasm, though the fatigue and mental strain in his eyes were unmistakable.

Yuan Lord and the others looked like they’d been pulling all-nighters for three days straight, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Seeing their state, Xu Fan didn’t mince words. “You all need to rest. These chaotic giant beasts can be fully converted into chaotic aura within five years.”

“Agreed,” Yuan Lord and the others said without hesitation, retreating to the Human Palace to recuperate.

After they left, Xu Fan had Grape extract chaotic aura from the chaotic giant beast corpses.

Meanwhile, he reviewed the battle records of Yuan Lord and his team over the past thousand years.

“The chaotic saint-level giant beasts around the Second, Third, and Fourth Transfer Exchange Worlds have all been cleared. Next time, we’ll have to venture even farther.”

As Xu Fan spoke, a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure radiating spatial energy appeared in his hand.

This was a speed-focused Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure he had crafted specifically for Yuan Lord and his team.

This treasure was at least ten times faster than the Human Palace.

Three years later, beneath the culinary river of the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan, Yuan Lord, and the Lord of the Demon Domain held a grand celebration.

They toasted to their safe return after a millennium of relentless effort.

Once Yuan Lord, the Lord of the Demon Domain, and the other five human race elders finally relaxed, they fell into a deep sleep that lasted three years.

“Let’s raise a toast to the Grand Elder and thank him for giving us the chance to advance to chaotic saints,” Yuan Lord said, lifting his cup.

The Lord of the Demon Domain and the other human race elders also raised their cups in honor of Xu Fan.

They knew that this opportunity was entirely due to Xu Fan’s efforts.

In the past, even catching a glimpse of chaotic truth required hunting chaotic saint-level giant beasts one by one.

But now, the progress made in just tens of thousands of years far surpassed the efforts of the human race over millions of eons.

“You’re all too kind. As fellow members of the human race, it’s only right that we support and grow together,” Xu Fan said modestly.

“Divine Master Xu, do you remember what I told you in the Three Thousand Realms? I’d like to take it back now.”

Hearing Yuan Lord’s words, Xu Fan looked puzzled.

You said so much in the Three Thousand Realms—how could I possibly remember it all?

Seeing Xu Fan’s confusion, Yuan Lord smiled and said, “Back then, I called you the smartest frog in the well. I was wrong.

Whether inside the well or out, you are the most exceptional and brilliant being!”
