Chapter 1345: Ominous Fortune

"I didn’t expect that after all this time, even the demon division is entering the quasi-saint era," Xu Fan said, recalling the scene when the Hidden Spirit Sect was just established.

As Xu Fan reflected on this, he suddenly heard a crackling sound.

Following the sound, Xu Fan looked toward the nest of Fierce White in the courtyard.

He saw Fierce White, already grown to the size of a palm, gnawing on a piece of Dragon Scale that was even larger than itself.

Xu Fan waved his hand, and Fierce White appeared in his palm.

"I didn’t expect that there would be such a strong presence among your Turtle Clan. I wonder if your bloodline is connected to the Primordial Divine Turtle."

When Xu Fan saw the Primordial Divine Turtle, he took a close look at Fierce White.

This little fellow was eating and sleeping just fine, showing no signs of growth, which made Xu Fan feel a bit disappointed.

"It’s been several thousand years for your sake, and you still haven’t grown? Am I really going to have to wait several hundred epochs for you to mature?" Xu Fan said, gently stroking Fierce White’s little head.

"Ugh~"

Fierce White let out a soft growl, assuring Xu Fan that it would grow eventually.

Just then, a beam of light descended into the courtyard.

"Master!" Zhou Kailing exclaimed joyfully.

"Seeing you so happy, could it be that you’ve discovered a new chaotic wide road?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

"I just comprehended it, but it’s not fully perfected yet."

An indescribable aura emerged from Zhou Kailing.

Xu Fan immediately became alert; this aura felt very dangerous to him.

His instinct told him not to touch this aura at all.

"Master, ever since I advanced to the saint realm, I found that all the divine techniques I used before have become useless."

"Besides being able to disrupt an opponent’s mindset in battle, they can’t inflict any real damage."

"After these several thousand years of insight, I finally combined my previous techniques to create another path."

As Zhou Kailing spoke, that aura became exceptionally dense.

When it reached its peak, Xu Fan felt like the entire chaotic myriad paths were rejecting his disciple.

For a moment, all kinds of ominous energies surrounded Zhou Kailing.

"Alright, quickly disperse that aura," Xu Fan urged.

The aura that repelled the chaotic myriad paths vanished, and everything returned to normal.

The ominous fortune surrounding Zhou Kailing disappeared as well.

"Master, I have forged a new path by combining the Curse Path, the Path of Fate, and others."

"I call it ominous fortune; I can now bestow this aura onto those below the chaotic saint realm."

"Once someone is affected by this ominous fortune, they will be rejected by the chaotic myriad paths."

"Not only that, but their soul and body will also repel each other," Zhou Kailing grinned.

Xu Fan placed his hand on Zhou Kailing’s shoulder, carefully examining her spirit.

In the core of Zhou Kailing’s spirit, he detected a surge of ominous fortune.

"Master, I can control this ominous fortune, but it needs to be drawn out as a catalyst," Zhou Kailing quickly explained.

Xu Fan flicked Zhou Kailing’s head with his finger.

"You little rascal, it’s a good thing I got here early."

The Hunyuan array disk appeared in Xu Fan’s hand, and with it, he activated the 108-fold sealing grand formation, firmly locking away the ominous fortune.

"If you don’t fully control this, it will corrupt your spirit and affect your entire being."

"Also, are you sure you discovered this path on your own, and not that the path chose you?" Xu Fan’s eyes flickered with visions of countless possible futures.

"When a path fades, its consciousness seeks a new successor. Are you sure it’s not you?"

Zhou Kailing shivered as she saw the future visions in her master’s eyes.

The ominous fortune would ultimately lead to a lonely extinction in the chaos.

"Master, should I abandon this path?" Zhou Kailing asked, her voice tinged with reluctance.

"Continue your cultivation as usual. Just come to me every ten thousand years for a check-up."

"As long as I’m here, this ominous fortune won’t be able to harm you," Xu Fan said lightly as he settled back into his recliner.

"Thank you, Master," Zhou Kailing said gratefully.

"Train well in this path. If our sect ever faces battle, use that ominous fortune on our enemies. It can cut their fighting strength in half."

"Understood, Master."

After Zhou Kailing left, Xu Fan suddenly thought about the many unique paths within the chaotic myriad paths.

Once someone inherits a path, no one else can cultivate it.

"Interesting. I’ll make time to study these paths," Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

In the vast Chaotic Mist Area, two thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Fan’s spaceship arrived at the border of the two Great God or Demon Empires.

Here, Xu Fan could directly contact avatar Number One and Number Two.

"Number One, Number Two, have you missed me all these years?"

In the spirit space, Xu Fan looked at the virtual projections of Number One and Number Two.

"Of course, we think of you every moment," said Number Two.

"Absolutely! Whenever Number Two and I meet, we reminisce about the old days, and when the emotions hit, we can’t help but shed tears," Number One said with feeling.

"Haha, after tens of thousands of years, your acting skills have really improved!" Xu Fan laughed.

"Now, tell me about your recent progress."

After the banter, they got down to business.

"Things are going well here. I’ve found a major backer and am now a key artifact master being trained by the Beast God Demon Empire."

"The environment is safe, and I have unlimited access to resources, all to help me become a primordial artifact master," Number One said, his face brimming with pride.

"I’m thriving with my entrepreneurial partner. We’ve already taken over four lands of gods and demons."

"We even have a chaotic Great God or Demon interested in joining our ranks," Number Two said with a wide grin.

Finally, Number One and Number Two turned to Xu Fan, asking about his progress.

"I’m doing well. I’ve cultivated three chaotic saints and still hold a vast amount of chaotic truth," Xu Fan said casually.

"What about the system? Any progress there?" Number Two asked.

"I’ve grasped a supreme law. The system’s core and outer layer are all that remain."

"Though the outer layer repairs itself in three breaths, I feel I’m close to becoming a chaotic saint," Xu Fan explained.

He patted Number One and Number Two on the shoulders.

"Keep it up. You’re making progress, but it’s not quite there yet." With that, Xu Fan exited the spirit space.

"Xu the Divine Master, you’ve reached the border of the God Demon Empire. You can now search for long-distance teleportation nodes," the Yuan Lord’s voice echoed in Xu Fan’s ears.
