Chapter 1193: Endless Refinement

In the outer realms, within the Chaotic Mist Area.

A Great Luo level chaotic giant beast, resembling a giant snake, roamed through the Chaotic Mist Area.

As it carefreely moved towards a certain chaotic area, it suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The absence of similar scents in its vicinity indicated a high chance that other kinds of chaotic giant beasts were lurking ahead.

Just as the snake-like chaotic beast planned to leave the area, three Chaotic Giants suddenly leaped out from the distant chaotic mist.

One blocked the chaotic snake’s escape route, another formed a sword formation to trap the chaotic beast, and the last one sealed off all other escape paths.

The three Chaotic Giants moved as though they had rehearsed countless times, displaying remarkable skill with every action.

In just fifteen minutes, that Great Luo level chaotic beast had its core crushed and was dragged into the depths of the chaotic mist, disappearing from sight.

“Outdone again, how infuriating~”

“It seems I can’t go solo next time; I must form a small team.”

In the space where the chaotic beast had been hunted, two Chaotic Giants emerged, exuding a Great Luo aura.

Within the Hidden Spirit Sect, Han Feiyu looked at Xu Fan with some anxiety.

“Master Ancestor, I have been in perilous situations in other Immortal Realms these past years, and I’ve had very few opportunities to cultivate,” Han Feiyu said, feeling a bit ashamed.

Though the situations were indeed dangerous, it couldn’t be said that there were no opportunities for cultivation at all.

“No need to explain; your cultivation progress is barely acceptable,” Xu Fan said, lifting his gaze to Han Feiyu while sitting in a lounge chair.

“Take out your root item; I will modify the formation inscribed on it, lift the restrictions, and transform it into its final state.”

“Master Ancestor, you have a way!” Han Feiyu respectfully handed over the jade gourd to Xu Fan.

Before returning to Hidden Spirit Island, he had already planned for the jade gourd to naturally upgrade into an innate supreme treasure.

Isn’t it just a matter of time?

When in a happy state, time should pass quickly.

Xu Fan accepted the jade gourd and a miniature chaotic runes formation appeared in his palm, attaching itself to the jade gourd.

“You won’t need 100,000 years, but a thousand years will be necessary.”

“Place this jade gourd in the core formation of the sect to absorb the chaotic mist, and in a thousand years, it can upgrade into an innate supreme treasure.”

“So during this thousand years, you may lose the title of the sect’s richest,” Xu Fan teased.

“Master Ancestor, please don’t mock your grandson; the title of sect’s richest is just a joking nickname given by the other brothers and sisters,” Han Feiyu hurriedly explained.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, go to the treasury and collect two heavenly spirit peaches, one for you and one for your partner.”

Speaking of Han Feiyu’s partner, Xu Fan suddenly thought of the Flower Spirit Clan.

“The Flower Spirit Clan has limited potential; even with the most precious spirit objects in the world, reaching the level of a Great Luo Sage is the maximum.”

“Return and ask your partner; if she agrees, let her reincarnate into the human race and cultivate in the sect; it will at least guarantee her ascension to Great Luo,” Xu Fan said lightly.

Given the current development of Hidden Spirit Island, it would be difficult for the sect to be beneficial if it only stops at the Great Luo Sage level.

“Thank you, Master Ancestor. I’ll talk to Diehua when I get back,” Han Feiyu nodded.

Truth is, he’d already brought it up with Diehua before, but she was too tied to the Flower Spirit Clan to even consider reincarnating into the human race.

“Just do what feels right,” Xu Fan said with a wave of his hand. With a flick of his finger, the green gourd shot into the sky like a streak of light, heading straight for the Formation that was absorbing the chaotic mist.

After Han Feiyu left, Xu Fan got an invitation from his good brother to join him in a dream. Xu Fan closed his eyes and stepped into the dream training ground he’d created for his friend.

“Big Brother Xu, do I really have to relive every single one of my True Self’s past lives?” Wang Yulun asked, sounding a bit pained.

“It’s necessary. You need to fully integrate with your True Self, and this is part of the process,” Xu Fan explained.

“And this is just the start. Later on, you’ll have to defeat your True Self at the peak of each life to move on to the next one,” Xu Fan added.

“Don’t worry, though. You’ll go from weak to strong,” Xu Fan said, giving Wang Yulun a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

“From what I’ve seen, my True Self just spends his time looking for his destined partner, cultivating, and avoiding any trouble. He just floats through life with his confidantes, free and easy.”

“Honestly, it’s kind of boring,” Wang Yulun sighed. Having to switch confidantes in every life was messing with his head.

“I get it, but your True Self is one of the top-tier powerful beings in the Three Thousand Realms. I can suppress him easily, but only because he’s sealed himself.”

“Still, turning him into your nourishment isn’t going to be a walk in the park.”

“It might sound vague, but the bottom line is this: you need to fully experience every life your True Self has lived,” Xu Fan said.

“Big Brother Xu, deep down, my True Self just wants to become a Chaotic Great Saint. This endless cycle of reincarnation is exhausting,” Wang Yulun said, reflecting on the lives he’d already lived.

“What, you want me to cut him some slack?”

“No, I’m just wondering if there’s a way to give him another shot at reincarnation. That way, I could inherit everything he’s achieved over all those lifetimes,” Wang Yulun said. He had a feeling there was more to his True Self’s goal of becoming a Chaotic Great Saint than he understood.

“Don’t overthink it. I’m not all-powerful, you know. If you try what you’re suggesting, even the slightest mistake could leave you as scraps.”

“And the Hidden Spirit Sect would be facing a Chaotic Great Saint,” Xu Fan said, shaking his head. It seemed his good brother still didn’t fully grasp the stakes.

“Forget it, then. I’d rather die than put you and the sect in danger,” Wang Yulun said quickly.

“Your True Self has plenty of backup plans. Even if you completely absorb him, he might still exist somewhere in the Three Thousand Realms.”

“So don’t feel sorry for him. When he eventually comes back, it’s only going to bring you trouble,” Xu Fan added.

“Really?” Wang Yulun asked, confused.

“Of course. Your True Self has the ambition to unify all his lifetimes. He’s definitely prepared for any surprises when he returns in this life,” Xu Fan explained.

Wang Yulun nodded.

Just then, a massive mountain appeared in the dream. At its peak stood a woman in a gray robe.

“Mountain Lord, I’ve finally found you! This time, don’t leave me again,” the woman said.

“Big Brother Xu, who is she?” Wang Yulun asked, looking puzzled.

“Did you think every life in this cycle would be human?” Xu Fan asked with a curious smile.
