Chapter 1439: The Way Home

A hundred years had passed inside the Chaotic Ship.

Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile spreading across his face.

This century had eased the longing he had carried for hundreds of thousands of years.

In the center world, Xu Fan respectfully handed the Primordial Supreme Treasure back to the powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe.

“Thank you, senior,” Xu Fan said.

“Master Xu, no need for formalities. Instead of thanking me, why not play a game with me?” the powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe replied.

With a wave of his hand, the Game of Realms board materialized.

“Master Xu, don’t hold back. Show me how much you’ve improved over the years,” the powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe said.

“As you wish, senior,” Xu Fan replied.

He took a seat across from the powerful being.

Three thousand years later, the entire board lit up as the holy light small world dominated the game.

“Master Xu, you’re incredible! Let’s play again!”

Though he had lost, the powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe could clearly feel his own progress.

“Again!”

The second game lasted three thousand six hundred years, and once more, Xu Fan outmaneuvered his opponent with a grand strategy.

Despite the loss, the powerful being felt exhilarated.

Just as he was about to start a third game, he hesitated.

“Master Xu, perhaps we should return to the lessons. We can play again another time,” the powerful being said reluctantly.

Hearing this, Xu Fan accelerated the flow of time around them.

“This accelerated time doesn’t count toward our agreement,” the powerful being remarked, understanding Xu Fan’s intent.

“Senior, you gave me a hundred years; I owe you ten thousand in return,” Xu Fan said.

He then began teaching the intricacies of the Game of Realms.

Ten thousand years later, in the Chaotic Mist Area, the Chaotic Ship gently landed on the outer wall of a colossal world.

“Master Xu, this is our Holy Hui tribe’s treasure large world,” said a powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe, who was overseeing the transaction with Xu Fan.

“Let’s complete our trade here.”

“Agreed. After the transaction, I’d like to stay in your treasure world for a while,” Xu Fan said.

“Of course,” the powerful being replied.

In the treasure large world, a grand realm designed to host esteemed guests, Xu Fan and the Holy Light Girl were savoring the local delicacies.

“The food here doesn’t compare to the delicacies from the Chaotic Mist Area,” the Holy Light Girl remarked between bites.

"Not quite; you need to savor its unique flavors," Xu Fan remarked, picking up a dish made with heavenly spirit roots and tasting it carefully.

“Master Xu, shouldn’t we start refining the Chaotic Ship next?”

The Holy Light Girl was visibly excited, as they might be close to their homeland, the Chaotic Mist Area.

“Yes, but first, we need to collect some chaotic divine minerals; otherwise, we won’t be able to support the structure of the small Chaotic Ship.”

Just then, a light curtain appeared before Xu Fan, listing the unique chaotic divine minerals found in this Chaotic Mist Area.

“The variety is impressive; this truly is the most powerful chaotic land around,” Xu Fan said, admiring the description of the chaotic divine minerals.

“Master Xu, we’ll need a lot of Primordial Purple Qi crystals for these chaotic divine minerals. Maybe I should trade my Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures for them.”

“The journey home isn’t just my responsibility,” the Holy Light Girl said earnestly.

“Keep them; what you have isn’t worth the trouble. I appreciate the thought,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

It seemed unnecessary to trade Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures for something that could be done with just a few Path Mark Light Shadow Diagrams.

As they spoke, a powerful presence descended upon the large world.

“Master Xu, here’s what you asked for,” said a powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe, presenting a Space-type Spiritual Treasure.

“And here’s what you requested, the Path Mark Light Shadow Diagram,” Xu Fan said, handing over another Spiritual Treasure.

After the exchange, the powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe left.

“This Chaotic Mist Area has its own unique traits; the supreme law of holy light here might differ slightly from your tribe’s supreme holy light law.”

“If you’re interested, you could visit the Sea of Holy Light in the chaotic center area. It might help you grasp a hint of the supreme law of holy light,” Xu Fan suggested to the Holy Light Girl.

“Master Xu, when should I return?”

The Holy Light Girl understood his meaning and looked at Xu Fan with a pleading expression.

“Two thousand years should be enough. With your Holy Hui tribe aura, no one in the chaotic center will bother you,” Xu Fan assured her.

“Alright.”

After gathering her belongings, the Holy Light Girl departed.

At that moment, Xu Fan took out the Spiritual Treasure space from their trade.

“I want to examine the chaotic divine minerals that can isolate the Primordial Chaos Zone. There might be something special about them.”

A mass of black material, about thirty feet in diameter and shimmering with dark light, appeared before Xu Fan.

Xu Fan gently placed his hand on the black substance, focusing on its properties.

“Why is this so soft?” Xu Fan frowned slightly.

In Xu Fan’s perception, the mass was held together by a special rune; if the rune vanished, the mass would instantly liquefy and seep into the void.

“This is quite tricky.”

Xu Fan examined the rune at the center of the mass.

Two thousand years later, the Holy Light Girl returned to the large world, eager to head home to the Chaotic Mist Area.

When she arrived at Xu Fan’s residence, she found him still studying the black substance.

“Master Xu, do you need me to leave again?” the Holy Light Girl asked cautiously.

“Five thousand years,” came a calm reply.

“Got it!”

The Holy Light Girl transformed into a beam of holy light and vanished, while Xu Fan continued to focus on the rune within the chaotic material.

“The rune containing the supreme law is truly hard to comprehend,” Xu Fan said, withdrawing his awareness.

He felt that understanding this rune, which held the power of the supreme law, was far more challenging than grasping a supreme law itself.

“If all else fails, I’ll have to use this rune to refine the Chaotic Ship,” Xu Fan said, somewhat reluctantly.

“If my main body were here, things wouldn’t be so complicated.”

As Xu Fan worked on the design for the Chaotic Ship, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

He then pulled out the pile of chaotic divine minerals he had acquired from this Chaotic Mist Area and began constructing the framework of the Chaotic Ship.

Three thousand years later, while exploring the Sea of Holy Light, the Holy Light Girl received a message from Xu Fan.

“Master Xu, can we go home now?”

She looked at the distant Giant Ship shimmering in dark hues, feeling a sense of wonder.

Having traveled through various chaotic lands aboard the Holy Hui tribe’s Chaotic Ship, she knew its value well.

“Yes, we can leave now. Let me inform the powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe guarding this large world that we’re departing.”

Outside the Treasure Large World, a powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe waved warmly to Xu Fan and the Holy Light Girl as they prepared to leave.

The reason for his enthusiasm? The five Path Mark Light Shadow Diagrams in his possession.

During the time Xu Fan spent refining the Chaotic Ship, the Path Mark Light Shadow Diagrams he created had become the most sought-after items among the top-tier powerful beings of this Chaotic Mist Area.
