Chapter 1372: Patterns

Xu Fan managed to send his third brother away and stepped out, arriving at the edge of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm to check on the progress of his project.

At that moment, the vast outer layer of the Three Thousand Realms was nearly ready to complete the main structure of the teleportation formation.

Number Five Avatar stood atop the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, carving the core teleportation formation.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fan noticed that the Yuan Lord was also outside the Three Thousand Realms, observing the construction of the teleportation formation from the human race’s temple.

"Xu the Divine Master, come join me for a drink," the Yuan Lord called out cheerfully.

Inside the human race’s temple, the Yuan Lord had prepared a table laden with exquisite dishes.

"Lately, I’ve been spending my free time here, watching your avatar set up the teleportation formation," the Yuan Lord said with a smile.

After the human race unified the Three Thousand Realms, the Yuan Lord found himself with little to do.

Thus, he developed this new pastime.

"This spot offers a great view; you can see the entire Three Thousand Realms from here. It seems that after unifying everything, the Yuan Lord has quite a bit of leisure time!" Xu Fan remarked, picking up a piece of stir-fried dragon liver and tasting it.

"I’ve hit a bottleneck in my understanding of the chaotic wide road. I can only clear my mind, but I can’t seem to break through," the Yuan Lord sighed.

"I see. With such a fine feast before us, why don’t we discuss the path over some delicacies?" Xu Fan suggested with a slight smile.

The Yuan Lord’s eyes lit up at the suggestion; he had been thinking of seeking Xu Fan’s advice later, but here was the opportunity presenting itself.

And so, the Yuan Lord’s exclusive human race temple remained outside the Three Thousand Realms for 100,000 years.

By then, the overall structure of the teleportation formation outside the Three Thousand Realms was essentially complete.

From a distance, the entire Three Thousand Realms resembled a formation compass.

Discussing the path for 100,000 years had significantly clarified the Yuan Lord’s thoughts.

"Xu the Divine Master, I need to go into seclusion for a while. If anything major happens in the Three Thousand Realms during this time, I’ll need to rely on you," the Yuan Lord requested.

"Go ahead. The Three Thousand Realms aren’t expanding right now, so there shouldn’t be much to handle," Xu Fan replied, waving his hand.

The Yuan Lord nodded and returned to the Yuanshi Sect with the human race temple.

Xu Fan looked at the teleportation formation outside the Three Thousand Realms and nodded in satisfaction.

He then summoned Number Five Avatar with a wave of his hand.

"Vine, deliver the Holy Sun and Holy Light essences that the human race elder sent over to Number Five Avatar."

"Let’s see if we can use the Deformed Path to sketch out two chaotic saints," Xu Fan instructed.

"Understood, Master."

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, within Xu Fan’s courtyard, he felt the extent of his system’s degeneration and realized he was nearing success.

"I didn’t expect that I would have to use this method to remove the system from myself."

In the spirit space, Xu Fan gazed at the degraded system runic sphere, his expression complex.

Observing the intertwined and rotating chaotic rune chains on the system runic sphere, Xu Fan suddenly felt something unusual.

The patterns of motion of these rune chains gave Xu Fan a very special feeling.

Feeling the patterns within, Xu Fan’s expression grew serious.

"I’ve observed the running patterns before; why does it feel different this time?"

A Chaotic Myriad Paths Disk appeared behind Xu Fan, as Vine began to use computing power to help him comprehend this pattern.

"Positive and negative, yin and yang?"

A virtual image of the River of Time from the Three Thousand Realms emerged in the spirit space.

Xu Fan’s mind split into two, simultaneously observing the system runic sphere and the River of Time.

He watched for thousands of years.

"Something’s not right! I’m missing something!" Xu Fan opened his eyes and said.

The general patterns of operation in the River of Time of the Three Thousand Realms were roughly half similar to the operation patterns of the system runic sphere.

Xu Fan felt that the other half had a connection between the two, but he just couldn’t grasp it.

"Does this mean I need to summon the chaotic River of Time?"

With that thought, Xu Fan shifted his consciousness to Number Four, who guarded the spatial point.

Familiar three stars appeared before Xu Fan.

"Xu the Divine Master, everything is normal here. Is there anything you need to instruct?" asked the Body Refinement Elder.

"Body Refinement Elder, how long can you summon the chaotic River of Time?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, the Body Refinement Elder was taken aback.

"At most, a quarter of an hour. Do you need me to summon it?" the Body Refinement Elder said, preparing to make the summoning gesture.

"Please summon it; I need to observe the patterns of the chaotic River of Time," Xu Fan said.

"Alright!"

A powerful chaotic power radiated from the Body Refinement Elder.

A faint virtual image of the chaotic River of Time appeared.

Xu Fan looked at this chaotic River of Time and began to quickly comprehend the patterns within.

A quarter of an hour quickly passed, but Xu Fan’s understanding hadn’t deepened yet, and it was already over.

Seeing Xu Fan’s expression of longing, the nearly exhausted Body Refinement Elder felt quite embarrassed.

"I just recently advanced to the chaotic saint realm; I hope I didn’t embarrass you, Xu the Divine Master," the weakened Body Refinement Elder said with a forced smile.

Returning to his senses, Xu Fan looked at the Body Refinement Elder apologetically.

A Powerful Being of the chaotic saint realm had pushed himself to the brink of exhaustion for him without a second thought.

At that moment, the other two human race elders also noticed the scene.

"Xu the Divine Master, Old Steelhead isn’t skilled with the chaotic wide road."

"If you want to see the chaotic River of Time, come to me. I can last for fifteen minutes," the Law Form Elder said.

"A minute and a half," added the Arrow Elder.

Hearing such short times, Xu Fan hurriedly declined.

If all three human race elders exhausted their power to summon the chaotic River of Time, his avatar would still have to guard this point for a while.

"Have you encountered any giant beasts or gods or demons intruding here during your watch?" Xu Fan asked the three elders.

"A few years ago, three chaotic giant beasts tried to settle with a group of small beasts here, but we took care of them all at once."

"Also, a large group of chaotic gods and demons passed through here."

"The rest are just the occasional chaotic giant beasts that wander in," the Arrow Elder said.

Hearing there were no issues in this area, Xu Fan felt relieved.

Now that the large world in the middle of the three stars was gone, lacking a major vessel to absorb stellar power led to the stellar powers spreading over billions of light armor regions.

Attracting typical chaotic giant beasts wasn’t a problem, but he feared attracting giant beasts at the chaotic Great Saint level.

This area, lacking a single large world, was particularly suitable for those chaotic giant beasts to settle down.

"The teleportation formation over there will be completed in over 100,000 years, so esteemed seniors, please hold on for a while longer," Xu Fan said.

"Xu the Divine Master, you’re being polite; we don’t need to hold on."

"You’ve sacrificed far more for the Three Thousand Realms than we have," the three human race elders said sincerely.

"Not at all; I’m just doing my part," Xu Fan replied with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Just then, Vine’s voice suddenly rang out.

"Master, I detected six chaotic giant beasts heading towards the spatial point."
