Chapter 1551: Advancing to Holy Lord

“I remembered something Big Brother Xu once said: when your personal strength is strong, no one dares to take what’s yours,” Wang Yulun remarked.

“Exactly. When you’re powerful, everything becomes fair,” Xu Fan replied, his gaze fixed on the dazzling Rainbow River in the distance.

A year later, Wang Yulun stored away his Star Ship and stepped onto the Giant Ship, a vessel of Primordial Supreme Treasure caliber.

Xu Fan, meanwhile, received word that the Nameless Chaotic Mist Area had been fully secured by the human race, and the portion allocated to his faction—a full ten percent—was ready for them.

A light curtain materialized before Xu Fan, displaying a detailed map of the Nameless Chaotic Mist Area.

The territory assigned to his faction was shaped like a slice of pie, stretching from the heart of the Chaotic Mist Area all the way to its outer edge.

Wang Yulun studied the map as well.

“This division seems fair.”

“In that case, have Grape select some disciples from our sect to rally the human warriors of the Three Thousand Realms. Let them volunteer to develop this new territory,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master,” came the reply.

Meanwhile, in a large world not far from the Three Thousand Realms, a handsome man sat pondering a message on his Communication Artifact.

“Develop the Nameless Chaotic Mist Area?”

His expression was thoughtful, tinged with a hint of weariness. After a moment, he decided to gather everyone from his small sect.

“Holy Lord Xu has claimed a portion of the Nameless Chaotic Mist Area and is calling on us to help develop it,” Ye Xiaoyao announced lightly.

“Who among you is willing to go?”

Since devouring Old Sword, Ye Xiaoyao had lived as a recluse in the Three Thousand Realms. After arriving in the Chaotic Mist Area, he had gathered a group of like-minded individuals and, out of sheer boredom, founded a small sect.

“Sect Leader, are we finally going to expand our sect?” the top disciple asked eagerly.

The sect was modest, with fewer than a hundred members.

“Not me—you,” Ye Xiaoyao clarified with a faint smile. “You’ve all reached the Golden Immortal Great Luo stage, the perfect time to venture out and make your mark.”

“I’ll take you to a new large world to develop, and the task of growing our sect will fall to you.”

“Sect Leader, you’re already so powerful in the chaotic saint realm. Why not aim higher?” one disciple asked.

“If you became a Chaotic Great Saint, uniting a large world under our sect’s banner would be within reach.”

“These things happen naturally,” Ye Xiaoyao replied.

“For now, let’s focus on developing in the new large world,” he said, his smile lingering as he glanced back toward the Three Thousand Realms, his expression unreadable.

Xu Fan, unaware of these events, continued his journey along the Rainbow River.

Eighty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Xu Fan guided his Star Ship to the outskirts of the Three Thousand Realms.

There, all the Human Warriors of the Three Thousand Realms stood in solemn formation, their presence commanding respect.

At the same time, a faint ripple emanated from the Three Thousand Realms, spreading across the entire Chaotic Mist Area.

Every Holy Lord within the Chaotic Mist Area turned their attention toward the source of this disturbance, their gazes fixed on the Three Thousand Realms.

Thirty-two Holy Lords descended with their thoughts and avatars at the outskirts of the Three Thousand Realms.

A ray of colorful light shot out from the Chaotic Mist Area, enveloping this region outside the Three Thousand Realms.

Xiong Li stood at the center of the radiance.

Five oceans of supreme laws appeared above Xiong Li, surging toward his physical body like a tidal wave of seawater.

“This is the first disciple of the sect created by Friend Xu. I never expected it would be him who became a Holy Lord in the end,” Holy Lord Yinyun remarked, who was familiar with the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“I thought it would be Friend Xu’s top disciple. What a pity! If he had become a Holy Lord, given a little time, he would surely have become a pillar of support for our Chaotic Mist Area,” Holy Lord of Heavenly Sound said with a hint of regret.

“The first disciple of the Hidden Spirit Sect is called Xiong Li, and his fighting strength is no less than that of Friend Xu’s top disciple.”

“Moreover, Xiong Li has specialized in body refinement since he began his journey and has mastered supreme laws related to body refinement.”

“With him becoming a Holy Lord, according to the strength of the other Holy Lords in the Nameless Chaotic Mist Area, they could not shake him even slightly if they teamed up.”

“At least, there will be a solid front line in future battles,” one of the Holy Lords said with a chuckle.

The influx of oceanic supreme laws continued for a full ten years.

With a tremor throughout the Chaotic Mist Area, another Holy Lord-level Powerful Being emerged.

At that moment, Xiong Li’s true form had grown to the size of a star.

The first thing that a Holy Lord-level Powerful Being does, Xiong Li turned and performed three kneels and nine prostrations in the direction of Xu Fan.

“Grand Elder, I wish to serve and protect our sect for life, standing before the Grand Elder,” Xiong Li declared firmly, as a chain of oaths forged from supreme laws entered his body.

At that moment, Xu Gang, standing behind Xu Fan, felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, thinking all his lines had been stolen by Xiong Li.

“Rise, and just remain true to your heart,” Xu Fan said with a smile, feeling quite pleased.

Now, their sect finally had a Holy Lord-level Powerful Being.

The Hidden Spirit Sect had officially become a top-tier force in the Chaotic Mist Area.

As Xiong Li stood up, countless congratulatory words filled the air.

All factions of the human race in the Chaotic Mist Area sent their gifts of celebration.

A pair of oversized temporary worlds formed to host the celebrants.

In the temporary large world, numerous rivers filled with Great Saint-level delicacies floated, while Immortal-grade dishes quickly descended to the banquet tables below, stirring appetites.

Before long, the celebrants filled the entire temporary large world.

Grape temporarily built two more large worlds to accommodate the guests.

All disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect were dispatched to serve those who came to celebrate.

The festive banquet lasted for a full five years.

Afterward, the entire Hidden Spirit Sect and their allied human worlds began a grand celebration.

They celebrated the emergence of another Holy Lord-level Powerful Being from their lineage.

Although the Chaotic Mist Area was generally peaceful, this only applied to the factions with Holy Lords.

Those factions without a Holy Lord were constantly engaged in battles, both openly and discreetly, for survival.

Meanwhile, factions with a Holy Lord enjoyed the best resources, living above the worldly strife.

With Xiong Li’s presence, the human race of the Immortal Realm could transcend ordinary factions.

After celebrating with Xiong Li, Xu Fan continued his journey along the Rainbow River aboard the Star Ship.

One day, while fishing with his good friend, Xu Fan suddenly felt sleepy; he instructed his friend and entered his room to sleep.

At that moment, Xiong Li’s figure appeared outside the Star Ship.

“Elder Wang, is the Grand Elder available? May I request an audience with him?” Xiong Li asked respectfully.

“The Grand Elder has just fallen asleep, and he will likely wake up in about a year. Please come back to visit then,” Wang Yulun replied.

Xiong Li nodded and stood outside the Star Ship, waiting.

“If you’re not leaving, just come inside. Having a Holy Lord guard outside the Star Ship doesn’t look right.”
