Chapter 1246: Progress, Learning

"That’s a Great Saint-level chaotic god or demon puppet. If you channel your thoughts into it and follow the right method, you can control it."

"So, you’re saying you’re invincible now, Big Brother?" Xu Fan joked.

"Invincible? Let’s put that to the test," a voice suddenly chimed in.

"I sensed the chaotic aura here and wasn’t planning to come, but then I thought—Elder Xu and your good brother are pillars of the human race. I couldn’t just ignore it," the Yuan Lord said.

"Yuan Lord, I was just joking earlier; please don’t take it seriously," Xu Fan quickly clarified.

"No worries. Elder Xu, why not release that chaotic god or demon puppet and let me test its power?"

"It’ll give me a better idea for future battles," the Yuan Lord suggested.

Hearing this, Xu Fan felt a spark of excitement. He was also curious about the Yuan Lord’s true strength.

Just how powerful was this being who stood at the peak of the Three Thousand Realms?

"Shall we give it a try?" Xu Fan asked, intrigued.

As soon as he spoke, the world around them began to shift.

In an instant, they found themselves in a star region.

Xu Fan then released the chaotic god or demon.

In the vastness of the star region, he unleashed the puppet’s full might, expanding it to the size of a star river before returning it to its normal form.

The Yuan Lord stood nearby, calmly observing the chaotic god or demon puppet’s transformations.

"This must be a creation of the Apocalypse Chaotic God or Demon Empire—three heads, six arms, entirely crimson, with the ability to command chaotic flames."

"Overall, aside from the challenge of refining pure chaotic power, it’s quite impressive," the Yuan Lord remarked.

"I’m going to make my move now; pay attention."

A massive door formed from chaotic runes materialized behind the Yuan Lord.

The surrounding star region was instantly enveloped by an unknown force.

An overwhelming pressure bore down on the chaotic god or demon.

Under Xu Fan’s control, the chaotic god or demon seemed to carry the weight of the Three Thousand Realms. With each step, vast stretches of the star region crumbled into nothingness.

The puppet pressed forward toward the Yuan Lord, enduring the immense pressure.

A spear of chaotic flames formed in its hand, and with all its might, it hurled the spear at the Yuan Lord.

But the moment the spear left its hand, it disintegrated into pure chaotic energy.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Xu Fan continued to drive the chaotic god or demon forward.

We’re both Great Saints—why are you making this so one-sided?

As the puppet drew closer to the Yuan Lord, the pressure intensified.

When it came within a thousand miles of the Yuan Lord, the chaotic god or demon’s body began to break apart.

Realizing the futility, Xu Fan withdrew the puppet, and the Yuan Lord retracted the giant door behind him.

"That’s right, at least in the Three Thousand Realms, you can easily take down an ordinary Great Saint with this chaotic god or demon," the Yuan Lord said.

"Yuan Lord, isn’t it a bit unfair to use a Primordial Supreme Treasure?" Xu Fan scoffed.

Xu Fan was certain that the giant door behind the Yuan Lord was the Primordial Supreme Treasure.

"The Supreme Treasure is part of one’s strength; don’t feel it’s unfair," the Yuan Lord said with a smile, then took Xu Fan back to the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

Xu Fan watched the direction the Yuan Lord left and sighed, "No wonder he stands at the peak of the Three Thousand Realms."

Controlling the Primordial Supreme Treasure also requires strength.

"Big Brother Xu, did you win or lose?" Wang Yulun asked curiously.

"Of course, I lost, but he used a Primordial Supreme Treasure against me," Xu Fan pouted.

He had expected an evenly matched spar, but it turned out differently.

"Big Brother Xu, it’s just a Primordial Supreme Treasure. Let me catch one and get revenge!" Wang Yulun said, pounding his chest.

"Good brother, I’ll count on you," Xu Fan said, patting Wang Yulun’s shoulder.

After spending some more time fishing with his good brother, Xu Fan returned to the courtyard.

Sitting in a lounge chair, he began to reflect on the day’s events.

"With just one Primordial Supreme Treasure, he can suppress my control over a Great Saint-level chaotic god or demon. It seems the Three Thousand Realms are much deeper than I thought."

Xu Fan kept replaying the pressure the Yuan Lord exerted on that chaotic god or demon in his mind.

This state lasted for half a year.

When Xu Fan finally came to, he saw Zhang Weiyun’s worried gaze.

"Husband, is something wrong? Your brow is furrowed, and the power of deduction in your eyes is endlessly changing," Zhang Weiyun asked with concern.

"It’s nothing; I just got lost in thought," Xu Fan said as he stood up.

In the underground space, Xu Fan looked at Number One, who was refining a pair of tentacles.

"Has someone confronted you?" Number One noticed Xu Fan’s expression.

"Yes, I just got a Great Saint-level chaotic god or demon puppet. I was bragging about it when the Yuan Lord hit me with a Primordial Supreme Treasure," Xu Fan said lightly.

"This is outrageous! How dare someone confront you in the Three Thousand Realms? We can’t let this slide; we must regain our honor," Number One said with determination.

At that moment, Number Two appeared in the underground space.

"It’s just a Primordial Supreme Treasure, right? Let’s find a way to get one ourselves," Number Two suggested.

"I came to you to see if we can refine a Primordial Supreme Treasure."

"Since reaching the saint realm, we haven’t explored artifact crafting."

"After being confronted by the Yuan Lord, I realized: if we fall behind, we’ll suffer. If we can’t get a Primordial Supreme Treasure, we should try to refine one ourselves," Xu Fan said.

"Refining a Primordial Supreme Treasure? It might be tough at the saint stage."

"But we could consider Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures. If we gather several, their power won’t be far off from a Primordial Supreme Treasure," Number Two remarked.

"I have an idea: the two god or demon empires closest to us are great places to study."

"Transform into the most authentic chaotic gods or demons and learn artifact crafting there." Xu Fan’s eyes sparkled with an unknown light.

"Studying abroad in the Chaotic God or Demon Empire? Your thinking is truly novel; aren’t you afraid Number One and I will go and never return?" Number Two asked.

"I’m not afraid. After all, you’re both part of the human race, and the joy you seek won’t be there," Xu Fan smirked.

"Do you really want to send me and Number Two to the Chaotic God or Demon Empire to learn artifact crafting?" Number One asked seriously.

"Yes, after being confronted by the Yuan Lord, I feel the Three Thousand Realms are still deep, and we need to progress," Xu Fan replied.

"…"

You want us to improve by studying at the god or demon empire?

"Alright then, set it up, and Number One and I will leave soon."

"But you need to give us more Primordial Purple Qi crystals; we need to buy some things at the human race’s Grand Merchant Association," Number Two said.

"No problem, I’ll give you 5,000 square zhang of Primordial Purple Qi crystals."
