Chapter 1500: Old Guang, Old Shang, and Old Xu

“The Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan stole the Supreme Divine Artifact from the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan. Furious, the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan immediately blamed the Underworld Clan and wiped out the Chaotic Mist Area that the Underworld Clan had nurtured for years with a single strike.”

“The feud between them has grown intense. Now, for the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan, destroying the Heavenly Merchant Clan is more important than dealing with the gods or demons,” said the leader of the Holy Light Empire, his face lit up with excitement.

“If the Underworld Clan and the Heavenly Merchant Clan break ties, the chaotic center will split into two opposing sides, letting the gods or demons watch from the sidelines,” Xu Fan said, sounding a bit worried.

Though he looked concerned, deep down, he thought it wasn’t his problem. As long as he became a Great Saint of Chaos, the human race could stay steady through this storm.

“That won’t happen. A meeting will be held at the chaotic center to sort things out. Even if they can’t resolve it, the other Holy Clans won’t step in.”

“Don’t underestimate the Heavenly Merchant Clan just because the Underworld Clan has an extra Holy Lord-level Powerful Being. The Heavenly Merchant Clan has its own tricks. Handling two Holy Lord-level Powerful Beings is no big deal for them.”

“When the time comes, we can just sit back and enjoy the show,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire said with a grin.

“Leader of the Holy Light Empire, you didn’t come here just to tell me this, did you?” Xu Fan asked, looking at him.

At that moment, the leader of the Holy Light Empire, who usually carried himself with dignity, looked at Xu Fan with a hint of flattery.

“Xu Holy Lord, we’ve known each other for years. Calling me the Leader of the Holy Light Empire feels too formal. Just call me Old Guang from now on.”

“Go on, try it,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire urged, looking hopeful.

“Old Guang?” Xu Fan replied, confused about what he meant.

“Old Xu, I need your help. Can you speed up the refinement of my top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasure? I’d like it done within a thousand years.”

A tea set appeared on the table, and the leader of the Holy Light Empire poured tea for Xu Fan.

“Finishing it in a thousand years won’t be easy,” Xu Fan said, raising an eyebrow.

“If there’s any problem, just tell me. I’ll handle it,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire assured him.

“Old Guang, I need a hundred zhang of Time Supreme Law Crystal to improve the quality of time acceleration. Only then can I finish your top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasure in a thousand years,” Xu Fan said, sipping the tea and feeling pleased.

Seeing the once-mighty leader of the Holy Light Empire lower himself to flatter him gave Xu Fan a sense of satisfaction.

“Old Xu, a hundred zhang is too much. I can give you seventy zhang—that’s all I’ve saved up over the Epochs,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire said, looking uneasy.

“Seventy zhang will do, but why are you in such a hurry for that top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasure?” Xu Fan asked, curious.

“To be honest, younger brother, I’m skilled in the supreme law of time and can reverse the River of Time to bring lives back.”

“With the Underworld Clan and the Heavenly Merchant Clan fighting, I can take on more jobs from the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan.”

“At critical moments, I could even sell that top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasure made from the Time Supreme Law Crystal to the Heavenly Merchant Clan and make a huge profit,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire explained, his plans sounding sharp.

“I think it’d be better to let the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan owe you a personal favor instead.”

“Deals have prices, but favors are priceless!” Xu Fan suggested.

The leader of the Holy Light Empire looked at Xu Fan and felt like he was seeing his past self.

“I used to think the same way and even got the Heavenly Merchant Clan to owe me favors.”

“But in the end, they always repaid them at the right time, and it cost them very little—far less than I expected.”

“After a few times, I realized it’s better to just trade normally with them. That way, I get more out of it,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire said with a sigh.

The ambitious leader who once made the Heavenly Merchant Clan owe him favors seemed to reappear in his mind.

“Alright, give me the Time Supreme Law Crystal. I’ll have it ready for you in a thousand years,” Xu Fan said.

At that moment, the divine consciousness of the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan descended beyond the Three Thousand Realms.

Seeing Xu Fan with the leader of the Holy Light Empire, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

“Old Shang, how about I sell you my top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasure?” the leader of the Holy Light Empire offered generously.

“Deal. We’ll settle with two Supreme Divine Artifacts after one Epoch,” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan replied.

“No problem. I’ve already given Old Xu the supreme law crystal for time acceleration, so you can claim your supreme law divine object within a thousand years,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire assured.

“Thank you. I’ll need your help again later, and we can discuss the price then,” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan said.

“Of course, with our friendship, just name your price,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire replied, nodding to Xu Fan before dispersing his clone and leaving.

“Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan,” Xu Fan greeted.

“Xu Holy Lord, we’ve known each other for so long. No need for formalities—just call me Old Shang,” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan said with a smile.

“……”

The two of them arrived atop a mountain on the life-star.

“Old Xu, I’m sure you’ve heard about my recent troubles. I need your help,” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan said.

“Of course, I’ll do everything I can to assist you, Old Shang,” Xu Fan replied sincerely.

A divine object radiating the aura of the spatial supreme law appeared before Xu Fan.

“I want to refine this into a top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasure capable of teleporting across unrefined material in the Chaotic Mist Area.”

“The teleportation range must cover at least 30 Chaotic Mist Areas,” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan declared ambitiously.

Hearing this, Xu Fan’s heart leaped with joy—this was the big opportunity he’d been waiting for!

Instead of answering immediately, Xu Fan picked up the spatial supreme divine object and examined it carefully.

“This will take time—millions of years,” Xu Fan said as he set the object down.

“Can you do it in a thousand years?” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan asked.

“A thousand years?”

A supreme law crystal with a diameter of one thousand feet appeared.

“A thousand years?”

Another supreme divine object materialized.

“A thousand?”

A Time Supreme Law Crystal measuring a hundred zhang long appeared, accompanied by three Primordial Supreme Treasures.

“Old Shang, come back in a thousand years to claim it,” Xu Fan said, exuding a unique aura.

Looking at the treasures before him, Xu Fan thought to himself, *It’ll be exhausting, but it’s worth it. Number Two can handle the extra workload.*

“Old Xu, I won’t forget this favor,” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan said, preparing to leave, but Xu Fan stopped him.

“Wait. First, we need to agree on the teleportation formation for that top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasure and its location. Also, you’ll need to bring me the spatial fragments from the coordinates.”

“Otherwise, just pinpointing the location could take me tens of thousands of years.”
