Chapter 1366: The Situation of Old Friends

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan, the Yuan Lord, and the Lord of the Demon Domain gathered together.

"I never expected that after being so busy with cultivation all these years, I would end up neglecting my own territory," the Lord of the Demon Domain sighed heavily.

"You think just because the Three Thousand Realms are unified, you can sit back and relax?"

"If that person with a destined fate, chosen by the Three Thousand Realms, delays for another few tens of thousands of years, we might have to ask Xu the Divine Master for help," the Yuan Lord said with a smirk.

The four human race elders who had already advanced to the chaotic saint realm were all tied up with their own affairs and had no time to deal with the Lord of the Demon Domain’s petty issues in the Three Thousand Realms.

"Hmph, if it weren’t for that Primordial Supreme Treasure, I wouldn’t be afraid of them," the Lord of the Demon Domain said, sounding a bit defiant.

"Enough talk. They’ve got the Primordial Supreme Treasure, and that’s that," the Yuan Lord chuckled.

Xu Fan pulled out a freshly refined Hunyuan Elixir and handed it to the Lord of the Demon Domain to help him recover from his injuries.

"Thank you, Xu the Divine Master."

"Right now, they’re setting up the teleportation formation for the large world outside the Three Thousand Realms. We can’t afford any trouble within the realms."

"All your grudges will have to wait until after the teleportation of the Three Thousand Realms is complete," the Yuan Lord stated.

"No wonder you set a deadline of three hundred thousand years," the Lord of the Demon Domain said, quietly doing the math in his head.

He wondered if he could reach the chaotic saint realm within three hundred thousand years.

The Lord of the Demon Domain glanced at the Yuan Lord and then at Xu Fan, finally admitting to himself that he was a step behind both of them in terms of talent.

Even though his strength and realm seemed to be at the peak of the Three Thousand Realms, there were still differences between those at the top.

"By my calculations, it’ll take me at least a million years to advance to the chaotic saint realm. It feels like I’m wasting Xu the Divine Master’s efforts," the Lord of the Demon Domain said, his expression turning somber.

Compared to that boy wielding the Primordial Supreme Treasure Giant Sword, he’d only manage a draw in a one-on-one fight.

To reclaim his pride, he needed to break through to the chaotic saint realm.

Just then, Xu Fan seemed to remember something and said to the Lord of the Demon Domain, "You’d better work hard, Lord of the Demon Domain. That boy chosen by the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Three Thousand Realms seems quite extraordinary."

"Once we’re outside the encirclement of the two Great Gods or Demons, the entire Three Thousand Realms will receive a boost."

"The Heavenly Way’s Will of the Three Thousand Realms will grow stronger, and the chances of that boy reaching the chaotic saint realm will be much higher."

Hearing this, the Lord of the Demon Domain immediately felt the pressure.

Now, that boy who saw him as an easy target had become his lifelong rival.

Before the Lord of the Demon Domain could respond, Xu Fan added, "I have a feeling both of you might advance at the same time. That’ll be quite a show."

The Yuan Lord’s face lit up. Though he was close with the Lord of the Demon Domain, their friendship was more of the teasing kind.

A strong sense of urgency washed over the Lord of the Demon Domain.

"Xu the Divine Master, Yuan Lord, I’ll take my leave now. I need to get back to cultivating," the Lord of the Demon Domain said, his body dissolving into a swirl of Demonic Energy before vanishing.

After the Lord of the Demon Domain disappeared, Xu Fan and the Yuan Lord exchanged a look and burst out laughing.

"It looks like the human race won’t have much peace in the future," Xu Fan said with a slight smile.

"With the Lord of the Demon Domain heading back to cultivate, I should return to refining my wide road as well."

"Goodbye, Xu the Divine Master."

The Yuan Lord finished speaking and then vanished.

In the courtyard, only Xu Fan remained.

“Grape, anything interesting happening lately?” Xu Fan asked, rocking in his lounge chair.

“Ye Xiaoyao has reached the Great Saint level, and his fighting strength now surpasses that of the former Sky Sword Immortal Emperor.”

“What happened to the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor inside him?” Xu Fan asked, intrigued.

“During the possession battle, he was consumed by Ye Xiaoyao’s spirit.”

A light curtain appeared before Xu Fan, detailing the history of conflicts between Ye Xiaoyao and the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor.

"It seems my senior brother has been quite the schemer; he’s a real master of deception," Xu Fan said, chuckling as he watched the intricate plots between Ye Xiaoyao and the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor.

"My senior brother must have started planning the moment the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor appeared; it seems he’s finally achieved his goal."

All the information about Ye Xiaoyao and the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor was provided by Grape, extracted from the River of Time in the Three Thousand Realms.

With the aid of the Primordial Supreme Treasure, Grape could now access the River of Time’s database.

Grape was now omniscient regarding events in the Three Thousand Realms, able to extract any information directly from the River of Time.

“By the way, how is Feng Chang Ning doing now?” Xu Fan inquired.

Mention of Ye Xiaoyao brought back memories of many old friends.

He felt a sense of an era ending, yet he still hadn’t found his original home.

"The Celestial Dynasty of Nine Phoenixes controls half of the Fenglan Immortal Realm and is thriving."

“It’s estimated that with another 100,000 items, they will peacefully unify the Fenglan Immortal Realm,” Grape reported.

“From a conventional viewpoint, this pace is quite impressive,” Xu Fan commented.

“And what about my little spider disciple?”

“She has ascended to the saint realm and has led the entire Beast God Demon Empire out of the Three Thousand Realms to explore new territories in the Chaotic Mist Area,” Grape replied.

“It’s better she left; not being of the human race, there was limited potential for her in the Three Thousand Realms,” Xu Fan nodded, understanding his spider disciple’s decision.

“Avatar Number One is flourishing in the Beast God Demon Empire and is on the verge of becoming the second primordial artifact master there.”

“I’m curious to see what will happen when he’s summoned by the leader of that demon empire,” Xu Fan said, looking towards the Beast God Demon Empire with anticipation.

“Avatar Number Two has followed the Grand Leader into the god or demon empire, and I’m not sure how he’s faring; there’s been little news lately.”

“Avatar Number Three is still acting as a tool over there, but he’s accumulated quite a few Contribution Points recently; he should be able to exchange them for a divine item soon.”

Thinking of this, Xu Fan became interested, closed his eyes, and shifted his consciousness to Avatar Number Three.

In the War Preparation City behind the boundary battlefield, the blood-colored stars always caught Xu Fan’s eye whenever he visited.

In a lavish artifact master temple, a chaotic saint realm servant puppet was at his service.

Indeed, he had been awarded this for certifying as a top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure artifact master in the main city.

Xu Fan examined the top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure he was refining, nearly complete, and continued the crafting process.

He had designed every step of the refinement process, so he knew exactly what to do next with these Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures.

Three months later, a top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure was completed, and Xu Fan handed it to the chaotic saint realm servant beside him.

As soon as the treasure was delivered, the Holy Light Girl came to visit.

"Master Xu, now that you’ve finished crafting a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, how about taking a break? Would you like me to accompany you for a stroll around the main city?" the Holy Light Girl suggested with a smile.
