Chapter 1173: Chaotic Giant Beast

A massive mental strength pressed invisibly down on all the disciples of Hidden Spirit Island.

Many disciples at the Golden Immortal level looked at the giant beast slowly swimming past Hidden Spirit Island, feeling a bit uneasy.

At this moment, Xu Fan focused on only one question in his mind.

I wonder how this giant beast tastes?

“Master, this is a common giant beast in the chaotic outer realms, called the Chaotic Giant Whale. It is massive and serves as prey for the more ferocious chaotic giant beasts in the outer realms,” Grape’s voice chimed in.

“Is this what is recorded in the Yuanshi Sect’s Outer Sect talisman?” Xu Fan asked.

“Yes.”

“Let’s not worry about the Chaotic Giant Whale for now; our main priority is to find the way back to the Three Thousand Realms.”

As Xu Fan spoke, Number One and Number Two Avatars appeared beside him.

Number One and Number Two looked at the chaotic mist outside the sect, their expressions quite complex.

“We received all the system runes you shared with us, and we understand what to do,” Number One Avatar said first.

“Replacing all the Celestial Script Formations on Hidden Spirit Island will take 1500 years,” Number One Avatar continued.

“Then let’s get started! Let’s first change the outermost protective Celestial Formation,” Xu Fan said.

“I’ll focus on seclusion to decipher the system runes. Once I have a large enough reserve of runes, I will replace the core formations of Hidden Spirit Island,” Xu Fan added.

Number One and Number Two Avatars nodded and began designing how to modify the outer protective Celestial Formation of Hidden Spirit Island.

Xu Fan then split off another avatar.

“All members of the inner sect, Outer Sect, and demon division of Hidden Spirit Sect, gather at the flatland behind the main peak.

I will teach you a new cultivation technique.”

Xu Fan’s voice echoed above Hidden Spirit Island.

As the wide road laws of the Three Thousand Realms weakened here, Xu Fan comprehended the chaotic energy of this outer realm, deriving a fundamental transformation technique.

As soon as Hidden Spirit Island entered the outer realms, Xu Fan began analyzing the gray chaotic energy.

He discovered that deep within this chaotic energy lay a core that could transform into any type of energy, although he had not yet fully comprehended it.

However, the technique he created could enhance the disciples’ strength by at least 50%.

Xu Fan learned from the information in the Yuanshi Sect’s Outer Sect talisman that after becoming a saint in the Three Thousand Realms, the path of wide road laws had come to an end; the future path lay in this outer realm.

It was just like reaching a limit in one place; to advance further, one must go to a higher level.

At that moment, countless beams of light dashed across the sky above Hidden Spirit Sect, all heading toward the flatland behind the main peak.

Due to the constraints on wide road laws in the outer realms, their flying speed was also affected.

Even the fastest spiritual boat controlled by Grape moved at a pace akin to a turtle compared to their previous speed.

Upon seeing this scene, a massive virtual image of the Wheel of Three Thousand Paths appeared in the sky above Hidden Spirit Island.

Instantly, all the disciples felt that the familiar wide road laws had returned.

Instantly, the beams of light surged in speed by dozens of times, and not long after, over ninety percent of the disciples of Hidden Spirit Sect had gathered on the flatland behind the main peak.

The disciples in the more remote areas tried to break through the space to teleport directly to the flatland behind the main peak.

However, they were surprised to find that the space, which used to be easily broken, had become so solid that it filled them with despair.

“All disciples, pay attention! The space in the chaotic mist of the outer realms is exceptionally solid and stable; only a Great Saint can break through it,” Grape reminded.

Then, amidst the astonished expressions of the disciples, Grape explained what a Great Saint was.

“Alright, everyone is here; I will impart to you a technique called ‘Path of Chaos,’ which will allow you to unleash fifty percent of your strength in the outer realms.”

“Myriad paths converge as chaos becomes form; the beginning of the path is…”

All the disciples felt the chaotic path in their minds and listened to Xu Fan’s explanation. At times, they appeared enlightened, while at other times, they looked puzzled.

Those who couldn’t understand a single word began to grow anxious.

“Do not worry; I will teach the Path of Chaos until all of you comprehend it,” Xu Fan’s calm voice resonated above Hidden Spirit Sect.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan’s true body was in his exclusive cultivation room, immersed in his spirit space, deciphering the runic sphere.

The massive runic sphere, wrapped in layers of runes like a star, loomed before Xu Fan, as daunting as an insurmountable mountain.

“I have decrypted so many layers; why does it feel like there has been no change in size at all?”

“System, we are interconnected; is it really alright for you to keep limiting me like this?” Unable to hold back, Xu Fan muttered while staring at the system runic sphere.

The system runic sphere continued to rotate slowly, following a specific pattern as usual.

“Let’s take it slow,” Xu Fan said, as countless runes he had deciphered before surged out from within him, covering the entire spirit space.

The runes formed a specific rune formation around Xu Fan, starting to assist in deciphering the system runic sphere.

In this way, Hidden Spirit Island fell into silence amidst the boundless chaotic mist.

After an unknown amount of time, Hidden Spirit Island had completely transformed from within to without, with runes suitable for chaotic space.

And within Hidden Spirit Sect’s formations, Xu Fan had even derived a formation that could convert chaotic energy into the Three Thousand Paths.

As long as it was within the radiation range around Hidden Spirit Sect, all disciples could exert their full past strength.

Having just decrypted a layer of the system runic sphere, Xu Fan, feeling somewhat weary, returned to the courtyard.

Zhang Weiyun came and sat beside Xu Fan, noticing the tired expression on her husband’s face, and felt a pang of sympathy.

“Husband, you’ve worked hard~” Zhang Weiyun said softly.

“There’s no choice; if we want to return to the Three Thousand Realms, we have to do this,” Xu Fan replied, lying back in his chair and quietly restoring his spirit.

“Husband, the leader of the Precious Artifact Rabbit clan has touched the Golden Immortal Realm and has developed a therapeutic technique that can simultaneously elevate both the body and spirit.”

“I will call her over to give you a treatment,” Zhang Weiyun said.

Xu Fan was about to wave his hand to refuse when a woman in white appeared behind him.

“Grand Elder, please relax.” A pair of delicate jade hands rested on Xu Fan’s shoulders.

In that instant, it felt like the first sip of a chilled drink on a hot summer day.

Xu Fan let out a lazy sigh from deep within his soul.

“Ah~~”

Then, Xu Fan felt as though his body and spirit were floating on a cloud.

Above the clouds, it felt as if countless tiny hands were gently pressing on his body and spirit.

Just as Xu Fan was about to take the opportunity to doze off and recover, a fierce and brutal roar echoed from deep within the chaotic space.

Then, a mournful cry came from the Chaotic Giant Whale.

“Master, judging from the sound just now, it seems to be emanating from the Chaotic Giant Whale number 35 wandering around here.”

“The one hunting it is a chaotic beast that is not in the database.”
