Chapter 1331: The Choice of Lazy Fish

After a grand celebration feast, Yuan Lord and the others began to cultivate using the extracted chaotic aura.

They were all at the peak of the Great Saint realm, so their absorption of the chaotic aura containing chaotic truth was exceptionally fast.

Not counting Xu Fan, the speed at which Yuan Lord and the others absorbed it was almost on par with the entire sect’s pace.

“They’re cultivating; I should take a break,” Xu Fan said lazily, lounging in a reclining chair in the courtyard.

As for the orders from the Heavenly Merchant Clan, his plan was to refine for a thousand years and then rest for a thousand years. In ten thousand years, he’d be able to complete the entire order.

While resting, Xu Fan took out a piece of chaotic truth.

He felt the state of the chaotic truth and slowly fell into deep thought.

“If I can reach a level beyond the Great Saint of Chaos, condensing chaotic truth would probably be a breeze,” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

After years of analysis by Grape, he concluded that any race with a powerful being above the Great Saint of Chaos usually releases a batch of chaotic truth periodically.

This was especially true for the thirteen major races in the chaotic center—their supply of chaotic truth never ran dry.

After Xu Fan delivered the first batch of Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, Luo, the chaotic saint-level expert from the Heavenly Merchant Clan, wanted to place another order for 10,000 Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures.

The chaotic truth even offered a price of 230 portions of chaotic truth. From that moment, Xu Fan suspected that powerful beings could condense such things.

Just like the original Xuanhuang aura, now that he had become a Great Saint, Xu Fan could, with just a thought, set up a specialized chaotic grand formation in the chaotic center to extract endless Xuanhuang aura.

At that moment, Zhang Weiyun approached Xu Fan, holding a glowing orb of fortune aura in her palm.

“Husband, I’ve been accumulating this orb of fortune aura for 400 years. Should I try to see if it has any effect?” Zhang Weiyun asked.

“No need. Save it for a critical moment,” Xu Fan replied.

Looking at the orb of fortune aura, Xu Fan couldn’t help but curse the troublesome system again.

Why couldn’t it just give him a chance to exploit a bug and let him blissfully become a chaotic saint?

“Alright,” Zhang Weiyun nodded and put away the aura.

“Wife, you’ve worked so hard during this time,” Xu Fan said tenderly, gazing at Zhang Weiyun.

While he had been busy crafting artifacts, Zhang Weiyun had been diligently cultivating, gathering fortune aura in hopes of helping Xu Fan trigger that bug state once more.

“I plan to take a break before refining again. This will be the perfect time to spend with you, my dear.”

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Zhang Weiyun’s eyes instantly lit up.

Just then, dozens of delicious dishes descended from the culinary river in the sky.

She skillfully pulled out a jar of Longyang Wine.

Seeing the jar of wine, Xu Fan finally couldn’t hold back.

“Wife, another type of wine would work just as well; the effects wouldn’t be any worse,” Xu Fan said, somewhat helplessly.

This level of Longyang Wine was more for setting the mood than anything else.

Its effects were even less impressive than the illusionary realms sold by those less reputable sects.

“It’s all the same,” Zhang Weiyun said with a smile as she opened the jar of Longyang Wine.

At that moment, a disciple noticed the delicious dishes descending toward the Grand Elder’s courtyard and immediately understood what was happening.

“The Grand Elder is a master of the chaotic myriad paths, knowing all the secret techniques of chaos. How come he doesn’t even have a child?”

As the disciple was lost in thought, a transparent light column suddenly struck his forehead.

In that instant, the disciple froze.

“Strange, what was I just thinking about?”

Ten years later, outside the exit of the First Transfer Exchange World, Xu Fan looked at Yuan Lord and the others, whose power levels had skyrocketed, and couldn’t help but wave with a smile.

A sleek spaceship sped rapidly into the depths of the Chaotic Mist Area.

“At this rate, in about ten thousand years, Yuan Lord, Lord of the Demon Domain, and those five elders of the human race will all reach their peak and can advance to the chaotic saint realm.”

“Should I follow them back to the Three Thousand Realms then?”

Xu Fan’s original plan was to have all the sect’s disciples become saints before returning to the Three Thousand Realms to live a carefree life.

But now it seemed that if the disciples worked a bit harder, and he put in some effort too,

at least thirty to forty percent of them could advance to Great Saint-level within eighty thousand years.

With the chaotic battle formation, facing seven or eight chaotic saint-level beings would be no problem.

However, Xu Fan was hesitating because he could obtain at least 13 portions of chaotic truth within ten thousand years.

With 13 portions of chaotic truth, he could still live a carefree life after returning to the Three Thousand Realms.

Moreover, by then, there would be eight chaotic saint-level beings supporting the human race.

With such power, he could live his dream life in the chaotic land nestled between the two Great God or Demon Empires.

Xu Fan returned to the sect’s courtyard and continued pondering.

“No, strength is something best to have on your own.”

“I’ll wait until thirty to forty percent of the disciples become Great Saints before returning,” Xu Fan’s gaze grew firm.

Just then, tens of thousands of spirit seeds from the sect’s disciples appeared in the sect’s reincarnation pool.

This reincarnation pool was specially crafted by Xu Fan as a replacement for the Hall of Heroic Spirits.

It could quickly restore the peak strength of the spirit seeds while keeping them intact.

Beside the pool, Xu Fan smiled at Xu Gang and Wang Xuanxin, who had turned into seeds.

“You only have a few saints, and you dared to mess with that thing?”

“We ran into a giant beast that had just advanced to the chaotic saint realm and couldn’t help but mention it to Senior Brother,” Wang Xuanxin said, embarrassed that she had suggested provoking the chaotic giant beast.

“Now you see the difference, right? Grape mentioned that among those thousand Great Saint-level chaotic giants, you two are included,” Xu Fan glanced at Xu Gang.

“Master, we were reckless,” Xu Gang, now in seed form, said.

Looking at the little tadpoles, Xu Fan didn’t scold them too much.

Reviving from the reincarnation pool came at a cost; whatever resources they consumed had to be repaid double after revival.

For Great Saints like Xu Gang and Wang Xuanxin, reviving would cost at least 5,000 zhang of Primordial Purple Qi crystals.

If they had to repay double, they’d likely live in debt for thousands of years.

Xu Fan’s goal wasn’t to hoard the crystals but to make the disciples take things seriously.

Don’t think that just because you can be revived, you can act recklessly.

In the pool, tens of thousands of tadpole-like spirit seeds stood neatly, bowing to Xu Fan.

“No need for formalities, and don’t feel ashamed. Take this as a lesson and be careful next time.”

“Recklessness leads to trouble,” Xu Fan said, waving as he left.

“Grape, before any battles, clarify both sides’ goals and do proper assessments.”

“Don’t let these disciples throw their lives away,” Xu Fan instructed.

“At your command, Master.”

“Also, the content from the last teaching session should be well understood by now.”

“Once the disciples in the reincarnation pool regain their strength, we’ll start the teaching again.”
