Chapter 1408: The Sky Light Giant Whale

Hearing this, Wang Xiangchi felt a wave of embarrassment.

Back when he was a child, before he became Xu Fan’s disciple, his father often took him to his master’s courtyard to share meals.

In that courtyard, Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian would play with him, and those were some of his happiest memories.

"Senior sister, I don’t need this item, so you can keep it," Wang Xiangchi said.

At that moment, Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie, barely able to contain their excitement, chimed in, "Master Uncle, do you have any light shadow recordings of our master as a child?"

Xu Yuexian smiled at her two nephew disciples and casually conjured a ball of light shadow seal.

"When your master was young, I had just learned the light shadow technique and recorded many amusing moments of him. Feel free to take a look."

The two immediately lit up with excitement, grabbing the light shadow seal and hastily making their exit.

"Wait! Give me that light shadow seal!" A powerful mental force suddenly halted Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie in their tracks.

Just as they thought they’d miss out on seeing their master’s childhood, a yin and yang illusion dissolved Wang Xiangchi’s mental suppression.

The two, now free, bolted away in a flash.

"Senior sister, when did you record these? I never noticed back then," Wang Xiangchi asked, scratching his head awkwardly.

"I recorded them secretly because you were so adorable as a child. When you found out, you even begged me to record more—back when you were still running around without a care," Xu Yuexian said, reminiscing about their carefree childhood.

In that courtyard, their master lounged in a chair, watching the three of them play, while a crane danced gracefully nearby.

As the two reminisced, a voice suddenly echoed in their ears.

"Would you like to visit the Holy Light Empire in the chaotic center? Since you’re nearby, it won’t take much to bring you over."

"Master, can I bring Feiyu and Wujie along?" Wang Xiangchi asked.

"Then let’s all go together."

A profound glowing portal materialized before them, and Xu Yuexian, Wang Xiangchi, along with the two disciples, stepped through.

As they emerged from the portal, they saw Xu Fan standing with Zhang Weiyun, both smiling warmly at them.

Above, massive Holy Light Stars rained down endless holy light upon the earth.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Master Ancestor!"

Just as everyone began to bow, Xu Fan waved them off.

"No need for formalities. I’m taking you out to have fun," Xu Fan said kindly, exuding the air of a benevolent elder.

"This is a sky light secret realm within the Holy Light Empire. It’s quite fascinating. Feel free to explore, and if you have any questions, just ask Grape."

"Alright, you’re free to roam now~"

With that, Xu Fan left with Zhang Weiyun.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiangchi turned to Grape and asked,

"What’s so interesting here that Master would call it fun?"

"In the Sky Light Secret Realm, those who are destined can randomly gather Sky Light avatars. These avatars can exist for one Epoch with fighting strength equivalent to their own. In places where there are Holy Light Stars, the fighting strength will increase by another ten percent."

"After gathering the Holy Light avatar, one can also find various supreme treasures suitable for the Holy Light avatar in the Sky Light Secret Realm. All of these are free; as long as one is fated, the Primordial Supreme Treasure can be obtained here."

"This is also the easiest place to comprehend the Holy Light path," Grape explained.

"What’s the Holy Light Empire trying to gain from this?" Jian Wujie asked in surprise.

"To help the beings within the realm find their Holy Light path and assist weaker races in surviving amidst the chaotic power."

"The weaker races can also receive protection from the Holy Light and join the Holy Light Empire."

"But all of this is based on the premise that you are destined with this Holy Light Secret Realm."

Hearing Grape’s explanation, Wang Xiangchi curiously asked, "Has Master ever gathered a Holy Light avatar?"

"Master’s Holy Light avatar gathered as soon as it entered, but unfortunately, due to the rules of the Chaotic Mist Area, it collapsed as soon as it took shape."

While Grape was speaking, a dazzling holy light shone from Jian Wujie, and then a holy light virtual image appeared beside him.

A man who looked exactly like Jian Wujie appeared, staring blankly at him.

"When did I get so lucky?" Jian Wujie marveled at the Holy Light avatar.

"You’re lucky! Having this avatar is quite a boost for you," Wang Xiangchi said happily.

Just as the three were celebrating, Xu Fan’s voice rang in their ears.

"After leaving the Holy Light Empire, extinguish that Holy Light avatar to nourish your own spirit. The reason, you can ask Grape after you leave the Holy Light Empire."

"Understood, Master (Master Ancestor)."

Outside the Sea of Holy Light, Xu Fan and Zhang Weiyun admired the unique creatures of the Holy Light Empire, the Sky Light Giant Whale.

A Sky Light Giant Whale, thousands of miles long, swam freely in the Sea of Holy Light.

At the edge of the Sea of Holy Light, many powerful beings from various races of the Chaotic Mist Area observed.

The graceful Holy Light Giant Whale occasionally emitted pleasant calls.

All beings who heard this sound felt a holy light radiating from deep within their hearts, as if their entire bodies were purified.

"Husband, that Sky Light Giant Whale is so beautiful!" Zhang Weiyun exclaimed, eyes sparkling as she looked at the giant whale.

Xu Fan gazed at the Sky Light Giant Whale, feeling that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Grape, have I seen this creature before?"

"Master, you once gifted the Holy Light Empire a being evolved from Holy Light Star fragments."

"According to calculations, the Sky Light Giant Whale in front of us is the one you sent out back then."

Hearing Grape’s voice, Xu Fan recalled the scene when the Star Ship of the Holy Light Empire arrived in the Three Thousand Realms.

"No wonder it’s the Holy Light Empire; they have nurtured it to the peak of the saint realm. Should we have Number Five transform one when we return?" Xu Fan stroked his chin and said.

"Weiyun, if you find it beautiful, I’ll have Number Five bring you a few to raise in the Holy Light Stars when we get back." Xu Fan said while looking at Zhang Weiyun’s delighted expression.

"Can you really get such rare creatures, husband?"

"Of course! I’ll get you a pond full to play with when we return," Xu Fan replied with a smile.

At that moment, Xu Yuexian also appeared at the edge of the Sea of Holy Light.

With a somewhat troubled expression, she looked at Xu Fan and said, "Master, I sense something related to yin-yang fish here."

Xu Yuexian was desperately suppressing the yin-yang fish from her supreme treasure world.

But as soon as she finished speaking, a massive yin-yang fish burst out from Xu Yuexian’s treasure space and attacked the Sky Light Giant Whale in the Sea of Holy Light.

"Exploding Spike?" Xu Fan frowned.

A giant hand formed in the Sea of Holy Light, directly grabbing the yin-yang fish as if it were a small chick.

First, it squeezed it nearly to death, then sealed it within a small world and was immediately sent back to Xu Yuexian’s treasure space.

"Find a way to raise your personal strength; if this happens again, you’ll need to suppress your own beast," Xu Fan said calmly, as if nothing had occurred.

"I understand, Master," Xu Yuexian said, lowering her head in shame.
