Chapter 1356: Seeking Help

“Is this a divine object?” Xu Fan looked at the Heart of Holy Light and suddenly felt something different.

For the first time, he had the desire to refine the Heart of Holy Light into a top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.

“This was given to me by my father. He said this item is even more precious than my life, and I should take good care of it,” the Holy Light Girl said, cherishing the Heart of Holy Light in her hands.

“Since it’s so important to you, why are you giving it to me?” Xu Fan smiled at the Holy Light Girl.

“If you can refine 1,000 top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, you’ll probably be close to becoming a primordial artifact master.”

“Once you level up to become a primordial artifact master, my Contribution Points will skyrocket. That’ll be more than enough for me to exchange for a similar divine object and reach the Saint level.”

“By giving you this divine object, I’ll also be building a good relationship with you.”

“A good relationship with a primordial artifact master is far more valuable than any divine object.”

“So, what do you think? Am I making the right call here?” The Holy Light Girl squinted at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was caught off guard. How could she just blurt out her thoughts like that?

“Hehe, as long as you can refine 1,000 top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, this Heart of Holy Light is yours,” the Holy Light Girl added, noticing Xu Fan’s silence.

“Are you always this blunt?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

“It’s the honest way of making friends that my father taught me, but it depends on the person.”

“I’ve been lucky so far—the friends I choose never disappoint,” the Holy Light Girl said as she carefully tucked the Heart of Holy Light away again.

“Alright, once my artifact master temple is ready, I’ll refine top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures for you,” Xu Fan said, smiling at the straightforward girl.

As one artifact master temple after another was established in the War Preparation City, the entire city began to come to life.

A series of semi-permanent spatial passages connected to the main city.

Various chaotic spirit ores and resources started flowing into the War Preparation City.

Xu Fan returned to his own artifact master temple and began reviewing the requirements for refining top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures.

Refining Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures isn’t just about making whatever you want—it’s about completing specific tasks based on demand.

Each Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure has strict crafting requirements.

“Master Xu San, your permissions as a top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure artifact master have been granted. But if the first two Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures you refine don’t meet the top-tier standards, those permissions will be revoked.”

The Holy Light Girl’s voice echoed from the jade book.

“Got it,” Xu Fan replied lightly.

Looking over the tasks for refining top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, Xu Fan casually accepted ten and requested that the corresponding chaotic spirit ores be teleported directly to him.

He then recorded the detailed refining process into Avatar Number Three’s mind, based on the standards of those chaotic spirit ores.

Avatar Number Three can refine Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures on his own, but without Xu Fan’s help, the process is painfully slow. That’s why it’s crucial to record the detailed refining process in Number Three’s mind beforehand.

After finishing all this, Xu Fan’s consciousness returned to his main body.

“I didn’t expect that trip to open my eyes so much,” Xu Fan said, lying back in his recliner with a smile.

How often does an ordinary person get to see hordes of decaying giant beasts at the Great Saint level?

And then there was that being above the Great Saint of Chaos—seeing it made the whole trip worth it.

“Husband, it seems your experiences over there were quite perilous,” Zhang Weiyun said as she approached with a pot of tea.

“Not really perilous. At worst, I’d lose an avatar, but I can always recover and return,” Xu Fan replied, gently stroking Zhang Weiyun’s hair as he recounted his adventures in that world.

“Is that world truly so terrifying? Giant beasts and powerful beings at the Chaotic Great Saint level are everywhere,” Zhang Weiyun exclaimed in awe.

“Indeed, in that world, you can even witness beings above the Chaotic Great Saint making their moves,” Xu Fan said, his tone almost naive, which made Zhang Weiyun burst into laughter.

As the couple enjoyed their intimate moment, a sudden spatial fluctuation interrupted them.

“Master, Mistress, am I interrupting?” Xu Yuexian asked awkwardly.

“You already are, the moment you spoke,” Xu Fan replied lightly.

“What’s the matter? Weren’t you enjoying yourself in the Immortal Realm?”

“Master, I sense that Little Bai is about to advance to the chaotic saint realm, so I returned early to inform you.”

Xu Yuexian opened her palm, revealing a black-and-white yin-yang fish, resembling a killer whale, floating in her hand.

The yin-yang fish chirped happily, gazing at Xu Fan and Xu Yuexian with affection.

“So soon? I thought it would take longer,” Xu Fan said, surprised.

“I shared half of my chaotic aura with Little Bai, and I didn’t expect him to advance this quickly,” Xu Yuexian admitted, equally astonished.

Xu Fan beckoned, and the yin-yang fish swam joyfully into his palm.

“This little one needs three portions of chaotic truth to advance to the chaotic saint realm.”

“Should I give them to you?”

Xu Fan rubbed the yin-yang fish’s head with his thumb, a faint smile on his lips.

Hearing this, the yin-yang fish swam even more gleefully, nuzzling against Xu Fan’s cheek.

Zhang Weiyun and Xu Yuexian couldn’t help but laugh.

Three portions of chaotic truth materialized before Xu Yuexian.

“Here you go. Feed him one portion every hundred years,” Xu Fan said casually.

“Thank you, Master,” Xu Yuexian said with delight, then left with Little Bai in high spirits.

Watching Xu Yuexian depart, Xu Fan sighed, “In the blink of an eye, she’s become quite the old girl at several tens of thousands of years.”

“Husband, fate has its own course; it cannot be forced,” Zhang Weiyun said.

“Let it be.”

Now that she was several tens of thousands of years old, Xu Fan didn’t want to meddle in matters of marriage.

At that moment, Xu Fan received a message from Avatar Number Two.

He and the Grand Leader had been betrayed and were now fleeing for their lives.

They asked Xu Fan for help in escaping the pursuit of the traitorous gods or demons.

Upon reading the message, Xu Fan immediately dispatched Avatar Number Four, who carried the Hunyuan array disk.

He teleported to the location indicated by Avatar Number Two.

In a vast Chaotic Mist Area, the space suddenly shattered.

Two gods or demons emerged from the void and quickly slipped into a space crack.

At that moment, a circular purple light sphere enveloped the chaotic area.

Three chaotic gods or demons appeared before the two fleeing gods or demons.

“Grand Leader, did you truly believe your grand plans would succeed?”

“The Empire has been watching your every move from the start.”

“Though the Empire is in chaos now, all your efforts have become our spoils.”

“Thank you for your years of service; we won’t waste the territory you’ve built,” the leading chaotic god or demon said, his words cutting deep.

“Brother Two warned me long ago that you harbored ill intentions.”
