Chapter 1222: Five Years

"That’s easy to say. We’ve rested long enough; it’s time we got moving," avatar number one said with a slight smile.

"Go ahead; the sect’s fortune now rests in your hands," Xu Fan replied, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Ten days later, outside Wanquing Island.

Zhang Weiyun’s Chaotic Avatar waved goodbye to Hidden Spirit Island.

A Human Palace of innate supreme treasure level led a convoy of Spiritual Treasure level vehicles, swiftly navigating through the chaotic areas.

They carved out one space after another, paving the way for the following Spiritual Treasure level vehicles to advance smoothly through the newly opened paths.

From the peak of Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan observed the fleet of innate supreme treasure level vehicles ahead and then turned his gaze back to Hidden Spirit Island.

"Truly the pinnacle of human race power; each journey is made with an innate supreme treasure."

"Grape, bring out our Holy Light Palace; we must not be outdone," Xu Fan said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Indeed, Hidden Spirit Island’s speed through chaotic space was on par with that of the major forces’ innate supreme treasures, though slightly lower in level.

"As you wish, Master~"

A massive palace, radiant with holy light, immediately enveloped Hidden Spirit Island within it.

Taking the form of an innate supreme treasure Holy Light Palace, it followed the leading Human Palace.

Other forces noticed Hidden Spirit Island’s unusual move and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"I told you, that guy wouldn’t be without an innate supreme treasure," the Yuan Lord from the Human Palace said with a grin.

"I was going to gift him an innate supreme treasure as a vehicle, but since he already has one, never mind," the Lord of the Demon Domain remarked, then cast a concerned glance toward the chaotic land ahead.

"At this point, giving it would be superfluous; it would just be gilding the lily."

"If you’re really going to give something, go for the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure; it would make a bigger impact."

"And by the way, have you figured out what to say when you meet your old flame later?" The Yuan Lord couldn’t suppress his smile.

"Don’t bring that up," the Lord of the Demon Domain said, turning his face away.

If it weren’t for that share of profits, he would never have mentioned this matter.

At that moment, a direction within the Chaotic Mist Area where the Human Palace was located began to glow faintly.

It was like a beacon in the mist.

The Human Palace led a group of Human Warriors toward that glowing light.

In an instant, the Human Palace emerged from the mist, appearing outside a colossal light column encircled by various chaotic protective formations.

Xu Fan estimated the diameter of the light column to be at least a million light armors across.

"Divine Master Xu, the rest is up to you. Once we breach the Beast God Demon Empire’s Heavenly Road, the Lord of the Demon Domain can contact his old acquaintance," the Yuan Lord said with a playful tone.

By then, most Human Warriors had also gathered outside the chaotic sealing formation leading to the Heavenly Road.

Xu Fan gazed at the seemingly endless light column of the Heavenly Road, stretching across billions of light armors, and examined the protective sealing formation surrounding it.

"I need five years; please wait a moment, esteemed elders of the human race," Xu Fan said before beginning to dismantle the formation.

"Truly the greatest formations master in the Three Thousand Realms; the formations master from my Demon Domain once said it would take at least 100,000 years to unravel," the Lord of the Demon Domain remarked in awe.

"This can’t be blamed on the formations masters; it’s just that their reserves of chaotic runes aren’t enough to crack this chaotic grand formation," Xu Fan remarked. He then summoned Number One and Number Two to start working on the chaotic formation outside the light column.

"Five years isn’t too long, but it’s not short either. I’ll head out to hunt some chaotic giant beasts nearby and see if I can stumble upon any treasures," Xu Fan planned aloud.

"Lord of the Demon Domain, just stay here and keep watch," the Yuan Lord instructed before he broke through space and left. Other Human Warriors also took their leave, venturing out in hopes of finding the elusive Primordial Purple Qi crystal.

"Grape, make sure the disciples stay within the sect’s operational range," Xu Fan commanded.

"Understood, Master," Grape responded.

Once everyone had departed, Xu Fan turned his attention to deciphering the chaotic formation outside the Heavenly Road. He chuckled to himself, "I wonder if what I’m doing is akin to removing the guardrails from a highway."

When the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples learned they could move within the sect’s radius, they quickly formed groups and activated the Chaotic Giant battle formation, heading into the chaotic mist. One by one, quasi-saint level Chaotic Giants left Hidden Spirit Island to explore the surroundings.

A Chaotic Giant imbued with sword intent flew eagerly towards a specific direction in the mist. "Senior brother, you must take me to hunt some chaotic giant beasts this time," Jian Wujie pleaded. "I’ve spent nearly ten thousand years in that secret realm mastering swordsmanship without any real action."

"Don’t worry, I’ll take you to hunt a quasi-saint level chaotic giant beast," Han Feiyu assured him with a smile. "Grape, locate a quasi-saint level chaotic giant beast for us."

"On it," Grape replied, and soon an arrow appeared in the distance, guiding the Chaotic Giant to its prey.

"Let’s show you the might of our sect’s Chaotic Giant battle formation," Han Feiyu declared as a massive chaotic sword formation rose, quickly enveloping the quasi-saint level chaotic beast and commencing the attack.

It wasn’t long before the beast was defeated. A formation then surrounded its corpse, extracting its core to reveal a Primordial Purple Qi crystal the size of an apple.

"This is your first hunt with the Chaotic Giant battle formation. Keep this Primordial Purple Qi crystal as a memento," Han Feiyu said, handing it over.

"Thank you, senior brother," Jian Wujie replied gratefully.

Nearby, two Great Saints from top-tier sects in the Three Thousand Realms watched with envy. "The Chaotic Giant battle formation is as effective as the rumors say. It’s a shame neither the Hidden Spirit Sect nor the Yuanshi Sect is willing to share it," one Great Saint lamented.

"Without a Primordial Purple Qi crystal spanning at least ten thousand zhang, you can forget about it," the other added.

During the years when chaotic giant beasts besieged the Three Thousand Realms, Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples amassed numerous Primordial Purple Qi crystals thanks to their battle formation. Any disciple from the sect was wealthier than the average quasi-saint or even sage, a fact often publicized by the major commerce guilds that served them.

They boasted that the Hidden Spirit Sect’s battle formation could empower 200 Golden Immortals with the strength of a Great Luo Saint and 200 Great Luo with quasi-saint level power. This revelation quickly drew the attention of major human forces to the Hidden Spirit Sect’s Chaotic Giant battle formation.

However, with Xu Fan absent from the sect, this top-secret formation was not to be disclosed. As the two Great Saints conversed, a saint-level chaotic giant beast suddenly emerged from space, charging towards the sword-intent-filled Chaotic Giant.

Just as the Great Saints prepared to intervene, hundreds of teleportation stations lit up around the saint-level chaotic giant beast.
