Chapter 1440: Detection

A sleek, black Chaotic Ship glided through the expanse of the Chaotic Mist Area.

“What have you discovered in this Chaotic Mist Area over the years?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.

“The realization is that our Chaotic Mist Area is destined for a major battle.”

“I’ve observed that named Chaotic Areas typically share a common trait: they’re either dominated by a large powerful family or governed by an exceptional being who can maintain peace and order,” the Holy Light Girl remarked with a thoughtful expression.

“Do you sense that our homeland, the Chaotic Mist Area, is on the brink of turmoil?” Xu Fan chuckled.

“Master Xu, you must have foreseen this. I wonder if my Holy Light Empire can capitalize on this opportunity to ascend.”

“I’m quite optimistic. Among the Thirteen Large Powerful Families, your Holy Light Clan, or rather the Holy Light Empire, stands out as the most inclusive of the top powerful families.”

“If your clan were to produce a leader level powerful being in the future, it’s quite possible you could dominate the entire Chaotic Mist Area,” Xu Fan said as he prepared a tea set and began brewing tea.

The Chaotic Ship would still need to navigate the Chaotic Mist Area for several more years before reaching the boundary of the Chaotic Mist Domain.

“I’m not so sure. Given the strength of our Holy Lord, even if a clan member were to advance to the leader level, they’d likely be targeted and slain by alliances from other races,” the Holy Light Girl said, her expression tinged with concern.

“My consciousness has revisited our homeland’s Chaotic Mist Area, and nearly all the powerful beings in that devastated region have been slain.”

“Once they’re all eliminated, that Chaotic Mist Area will merge with our homeland’s territory.”

“When that happens, chaos is likely to ensue once more.”

“Before I returned, the Holy Light Empire had already started recalling its powerful beings from abroad,” Xu Fan noted.

At that moment, the Holy Light Girl seemed to remember something and turned to Xu Fan, asking, “Master Xu, if your human race were to produce a master capable of suppressing the entire Chaotic Mist Area, how would you handle the other races?”

“It’s quite straightforward: those who comply will remain, and those who resist will be expelled. Within the human race’s domain, no force or powerful being that defies us will be tolerated,” Xu Fan replied as he increased the Chaotic Ship’s speed.

“You’re already a Great Saint; even if you advance upon returning, you’d only reach the level of a chaotic saint. These matters are beyond your concern,” Xu Fan said, continuing to accelerate the Chaotic Ship.

“True; even achieving the status of a chaotic saint would make you a minor player in the grand scheme of things.”

“Master Xu, what are your plans for the human race? Will you align with the Heavenly Merchant Clan?” the Holy Light Girl inquired.

“I haven’t thought that far ahead; we’ll see what unfolds after we return.”

From Xu Fan’s perspective, if the human race were to seek an alliance with a top powerful family, it wouldn’t be with the Heavenly Merchant Clan.

A family so driven by profit, despite its strength, would never attain the pinnacle of power.

Six years later, the Chaotic Ship safely arrived at the inner wall of the Chaotic Mist Area.

“This journey has been remarkably uneventful; we haven’t faced any dangers at all,” the Holy Light Girl remarked in surprise.

“If you could see how fast we’re traveling, you’d understand. This Chaotic Ship can effortlessly navigate through the unrefined material of the Primordial Chaos Zone and even penetrate the deepest layers of space,” Xu Fan explained.

It could shield against the unrefined material of the Primordial Chaos Zone and, naturally, withstand the repulsion from the deepest layers of space.

The Chaotic Ship gradually slowed and entered the Primordial Chaos Zone at a minimal speed.

Then, the Chaotic Ship headed toward the direction of Xu Fan’s homeland, the Chaotic Mist Area.

“Master Xu, do you think there are any other Divine Beasts in this Primordial Chaos Zone besides the Primordial Divine Turtle and that snake?” the Holy Light Girl asked, her gaze fixed on the Primordial Chaos Zone with curiosity.

“You’d better hope we don’t encounter any,” Xu Fan said, carefully steering the Chaotic Ship with the caution of a novice driver.

“Are there any treasures in here?” the Holy Light Girl asked, sounding like a curious little child.

“Yes, but at our current level, even if we found something, we wouldn’t be able to take it.”

“Well, if we do find something, can we at least sell the location?”

“The unrefined material in the Primordial Chaos Zone is always shifting. Remembering the coordinates won’t help.”

Xu Fan was piloting the Chaotic Ship, pushing it faster and faster to test its limits.

“Master Xu, how long will it take us to get back to the Chaotic Mist Area?” the bored Holy Light Girl asked.

“Less than ten thousand years, if nothing goes wrong.”

The Holy Hui tribe had provided some information about the Primordial Chaos Zone.

This part of the Chaotic Mist Area was relatively peaceful; the only things they might run into were the Primordial Divine Turtle and that snake.

As Xu Fan stared at the swirling unrefined material ahead, he felt like he was driving through darkness without headlights.

He wanted to see what was ahead, but there was no way to do it.

Even just ten feet outside the Chaotic Ship, everything was a mystery.

“This isn’t working. I need to figure out a way to explore the Primordial Chaos Zone. Otherwise, it’s too dangerous—it’s like being blind,” Xu Fan muttered, watching the unrefined material part ahead.

A special wave spread out, powered by the supreme law he was most skilled with—the chaotic realm.

But the wave, infused with the supreme law, only reached about a hundred feet before the unrefined material swallowed it up.

“A hundred feet isn’t enough.”

Then he shifted the chaotic realm into a straight line for a linear scan.

This time, he managed to detect a 400-foot area ahead, but it still didn’t feel like enough.

“I’ll have to leave it for now. Maybe after I reach the chaotic saint realm, I can figure something out.”

And so, the Chaotic Ship sailed on uneventfully for over 6,000 years.

“Isn’t there any kind of adventure or excitement?” Xu Fan complained, feeling bored as he piloted the ship.

It was like driving on a long, empty road with no scenery—just monotonous and tiring.

“Master Xu, how about we talk?” the Holy Light Girl suggested, also bored.

When Xu Fan had built the Chaotic Ship, he’d only included a few small worlds inside, meant for resting and not much else.

“No more talking. Unless it’s about your Holy Light tribe’s secrets, I think you’ve already said everything there is to say,” Xu Fan replied, shaking his head.

“If you’re bored, Master Xu, you could tell me about your true insights into the wide road of the Holy Light path,” the Holy Light Girl said, her eyes lighting up as she looked at him.

“There’s not much to say. Your understanding of the Holy Light path has already reached the chaotic saint realm. Anything deeper would be beyond you.”

Just as Xu Fan finished speaking, a strange wave suddenly swept through the area.

The Chaotic Ship shuddered violently.

Both Xu Fan and the Holy Light Girl instantly went on high alert.

A Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure, capable of opening a small Chaotic Mist Area, appeared in Xu Fan’s hand.

“Master Xu, what’s going on?” the Holy Light Girl asked, her voice tense.

“I don’t know!” Xu Fan replied, equally nervous.

At that moment, the space ahead of the Chaotic Ship suddenly cleared.
