Chapter 1566: Runes Beyond Limits

"Let’s talk about that later; our current goal is to first become Holy Lords, then turn you into Holy Lords," Xu Fan said lazily.

At that moment, a teleportation portal opened behind the two.

Zhang Weiyun walked over, holding a food box.

"You brothers are fishing here; how dull! How about we enjoy some drinks while fishing?"

Zhang Weiyun said cheerfully as she set up a table and placed the food and wine on it.

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Wang Yulun replied with a smile.

In truth, he envied his Big Brother the most for having such a supportive and affectionate relationship with her.

"Then I won’t interrupt your chat. Little Qing and I have made plans to explore a Chaotic Mist Area famous for swordsmanship," Zhang Weiyun said before leaving.

At that moment, Wang Yulun’s fishing line suddenly went taut.

He almost lost his balance and was pulled into the golden lake.

Luckily, Xu Fan reached out and steadied Wang Yulun’s figure.

Then, the part of the line connected to the hook entered a struggle.

Xu Fan did not intervene; he quietly sipped his wine and nibbled on snacks, occasionally reminding his good brother about his pulling technique.

After an hour, the big catch finally got hooked.

What appeared was a pure stone statue hanging from the other end of the fishing hook.

The statue, resembling a qilin, was entirely a shade of green stone.

Wang Yulun circled the statue several times before uncertainly saying, "This is just an ordinary stone sculpture?"

"Yes, it’s just an ordinary statue," Xu Fan laughed.

"Then why did it take so much effort to reel it in?" Wang Yulun looked at the stone sculpture in confusion.

"Although it’s just an ordinary stone, the sculptor was impressive, or at least stronger than me," Xu Fan said, gently tracing the patterns on the sculpture with one hand while eating.

"The stone is simply ordinary, but the person who carved it is remarkable."

"This qilin-like statue contains at least over 3,000 types of supreme laws, some of which I have yet to comprehend," Xu Fan remarked while looking at the statue.

Wang Yulun was shocked as he gazed at the statue.

"Why can’t I sense the supreme laws on it?"

"Because you have only comprehended one type of supreme law, and there is none of that type here, so it appears to you as just an ordinary stone sculpture," Xu Fan explained.

"Take it with you and place this statue in your courtyard; let your confidantes and children take a look. Perhaps they can grasp those supreme laws."

"With Big Brother Xu’s teachings, there are tens of thousands of supreme laws waiting to be understood. Why would I need this?"

"It would be better placed at the entrance of the sect for show," Wang Yulun suggested.

"Forget it; let’s put it inside the sect as a cultivation place."

"Even if I comprehended many supreme laws, I couldn’t carve something like this."

"If I guess correctly, the sculptor should be a Second Realm Powerful Being."

Xu Fan told Grape to send the statue to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Just then, another teleportation portal appeared behind them.

Xiang Yun stepped out, looking utterly embarrassed.

Xu Fan glanced back at him lightly.

“Next time you want to test your fighting strength, bring your Senior Brother along.”

“Also, I’ll have Grape gather the Primordial Supreme Treasure sword you need soon.”

“You’re a Holy Lord now; using the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure as a secondary sword would make our Hidden Spirit Sect look bad.”

A purple light descended from the sky and entered Xiang Yun’s body.

In no time, Xiang Yun was back to full strength.

“Thank you, Grand Elder,” he said, still deeply ashamed. He hadn’t expected to be so badly hurt on his first attempt to test his strength.

“Go on.”

In the cracks of space, Xu Fan watched the world he had cultivated grow stronger, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

“A million years will pass quickly. Once I become a Holy Lord, I’ll find ways to acquire more supreme beings to help you grow faster.”

As he spoke, a figure in the distance caught Xu Fan’s attention.

When he got closer, he saw it was the octopus he had exchanged messages with.

The octopus drifted lazily along the edge of Xu Fan’s world, and upon spotting Xu Fan, it casually waved a tentacle in greeting.

Xu Fan watched as the octopus disappeared into the depths of the cracks of space.

“It didn’t even stop to chat,” Xu Fan said, a little disappointed.

In the cracks of space, Xu Fan didn’t dare wander too far.

He was wary of running into something like the black shadow he’d encountered before.

Eventually, Xu Fan returned to the world and took another look around.

By now, the native humans had produced a chaotic saint.

“Greetings, Lord,” the chaotic saint said respectfully.

“You have two choices: I can take you out to live as an ordinary human, or you can stay here until you become a Great Saint of Chaos before leaving,” Xu Fan said calmly.

“Lord, I wish to protect this world,” the chaotic saint replied respectfully.

“This world is strong enough; it doesn’t need your protection. In that case, wait until you become a Great Saint of Chaos before you leave.”

The world Xu Fan had cultivated was rich with supreme laws, making it easy for the native humans to cultivate and grow powerful.

“Understood, Lord,” the chaotic saint said, bowing his head.

Xu Fan nodded and returned to the island in the Chaotic Mist Area.

As soon as he stepped into the sect’s courtyard, Xu Fan felt a wave of drowsiness.

Just then, an idea struck him, and he fought off the sleepiness to return to the cracks of space.

Back in the world, he summoned a few guards and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, the scene began to shift.

In a tranquil, serene world, the supreme law stars slowly rotated.

This time, the process took even longer than it had in the Sacred Elephant World.

After what felt like an eternity, the supreme law stars finally formed a rune.

To Xu Fan, this rune seemed to surpass even what a Great Saint of Chaos could comprehend.

Xu Fan stared at the rune for a long time before waking up.

“I should focus on becoming a Holy Lord first. Runes like this are beyond me for now,” Xu Fan murmured.

“Grape, how long was I asleep this time?” Xu Fan asked.

“Master, you slept for exactly ten thousand years, not a moment more or less,” Grape replied.

“Has Zhang Xueling become a Holy Lord? What’s the situation with the Human Alliance?” Xu Fan asked.

“Zhang Xueling has become a Holy Lord.”

“The Human Alliance is consolidating all chaotic power.”

“The alien alliance, meanwhile, has started making plans to take over all the chaotic lands of the human race,” Grape explained.

“That’s about what I expected. But our position in the Chaotic Mist Area is strong.”

“Even if the alien alliance attacks, they won’t reach us here.”
