Chapter 1257: The Unity of Nine Realms

"Chaotic Great Saint," Xu Gang murmured.

"For others, becoming a Chaotic Great Saint from being a living being in this realm is nearly impossible."

"But as my disciple, you will at least become a chaotic saint in the future."

"Master what I teach you thoroughly; it won’t be difficult," Xu Fan said.

"Master, your vision is too narrow," Xu Gang replied.

"You’re just limited; once I take you out to see more of the world, you’ll understand," Xu Fan said with a smile.

After Xu Gang left, Xu Fan appeared on the surface of the sea outside Hidden Spirit Island.

A luxurious Bone Boat floated on the water, and Xu Fan brewed tea on the Bone Boat.

The unique aroma of the tea spread across the sea, causing countless sea fish demons to rise greedily to the surface to savor the scent.

"Senior Huangshan, come over; what couldn’t be discussed in our sect’s guest hall?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

Huangshan’s figure appeared on the Bone Boat and sat across from Xu Fan.

"It’s an honor to drink tea brewed by the top tea master of the Three Thousand Realms," Huangshan said, inhaling the fragrance.

"Come on, Senior Huangshan, what haven’t you seen? It’s just a cup of tea," Xu Fan replied, lifting his gaze slightly.

"Heaven’s Destruction discovered a chaotic spirit ore in the Chaotic Mist Area, guarded by an extremely powerful Great Saint-level chaotic giant beast."

"Heaven’s Destruction and I aren’t confident and thought to invite you along," Huangshan said with a smile.

"What about Yuan Lord? Why isn’t he taking action?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"Yuan Lord is out having fun again; we can’t locate him anywhere," Huangshan said with a frustrated expression, like a parent disappointed in a child who only wants to play.

"In the past, we would team up with the Great Saint of Wanquing in this situation, but you know her current state."

"Aren’t there any other suitable Great Saints among the remaining ones?" Xu Fan wondered, surprised that a powerful Great Saint couldn’t deal with the chaotic giant beast.

"Divine Master Xu, just tell me whether you’re going or not; I’ll give you thirty percent of the chaotic spirit ore if you assist," Huangshan said.

"Forty percent; assisting takes skill, and it’s rare to find a helper as powerful as I am," Xu Fan replied.

"Deal!" Huangshan said straightforwardly.

Xu Fan’s expression froze; he felt that every time he was in this situation, Huangshan had him firmly in hand. It felt like he was losing out despite getting the better end of the deal.

"When do we set off?" Xu Fan asked.

"Heaven’s Destruction needs three years to recover from some minor injuries after engaging that chaotic giant beast. We can gather at Yuanshi Sect and set off afterward," Huangshan replied.

"Alright, just send me a message when the time comes."

After Huangshan enjoyed a few cups of tea, he left.

Just then, the voice of the grape came through.

"Master, the Sky Night Immortal Emperor ambushed Ye Xiaoyao in the star region. After a fierce battle, Ye Xiaoyao escaped severely injured."

"With the Sky Night Immortal Emperor’s actions, he won’t be able to catch my senior brother or that Old Silver Coin even to the end," Xu Fan said, shaking his head with a smile.

Having looked into the life of the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor, he thought that if it weren’t for the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor’s deliberate efforts, his brother the Sky Night Immortal Emperor would find it very hard to take down that Old Silver Coin.

Xu Fan suddenly felt a spark of curiosity about the grand scheme the Old Silver Coin beside Ye Xiaoyao was orchestrating.

A surge of Holy Sun power enveloped Xu Fan, transporting him outside the Feiyu Realm.

He then extracted a River of Time from within the Feiyu Realm.

In the flowing River of Time, he pinpointed Ye Xiaoyao’s causal connections.

"Impressive; he managed to conceal his own causality so deeply within the River of Time, creating countless illusions."

"An ordinary Great Saint wouldn’t be able to trace the causality of the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor."

Xu Fan raised his hand slightly, and invisible strands of causality began to emerge from the depths of the River of Time, forming the figure of the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor.

Xu Fan then observed the actions of the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor’s residual soul within the Feiyu Realm.

When he saw the residual soul attempt to possess Wang Yulun, who was just beginning his cultivation journey, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

"That’s not the way to seek death."

At that time, the residual soul of the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor was still relatively intact. After failing with Wang Yulun, only a trace of the soul remained, eventually attaching itself to the ring Ye Xiaoyao wore.

"The path has some twists, but the general direction is correct."

Watching the time-reversing scenes in the River of Time, Xu Fan realized that the Sky Sword Immortal Emperor’s residual soul initially aimed to replace Wang Yulun.

After being repelled and injured, it then turned to Ye Xiaoyao.

"If fate had taken its original course, my brother Ye would have been endlessly entangled with me, without the Old Silver Coin by his side."

"According to later developments, he would likely have joined the Hidden Spirit Sect, gaining access to various resources, and easily becoming a saint, or even a Great Saint."

"Unfortunately, the once clear path to greatness has been twisted by that Old Silver Coin."

Xu Fan watched as the Old Silver Coin repeatedly led Ye Xiaoyao astray in the time-reversing scenes of the River of Time.

He recalled their first meeting; Ye Xiaoyao had been kind-hearted and bright, without any ulterior motives.

The River of Time outside the Feiyu Realm dissipated.

Xu Fan then glanced at the development of the Hidden Spirit Sect within the Feiyu Realm.

"Not bad; in a few thousand years, the sect will have another million disciples," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Grape, let’s return to the sect," Xu Fan instructed.

"Master, at the border between the clouds and the Tianhu Immortal Realm, a little Immortal Realm is holding a promotion ceremony. Would you like to take a look?" Grape suggested.

"A promotion ceremony for a little Immortal Realm? Interesting. How did the two Immortal Realms allow this little Immortal Realm to develop so much?"

"Let’s go; take me there," Xu Fan said with interest.

A wave of Holy Sun power enveloped him, and they soon appeared in the little Immortal Realm.

At this moment, only a clone with Xu Fan’s consciousness entered, while his main body remained outside the little Immortal Realm.

Before him stood a grand altar, as vast as a middle thousand world, adorned with various spirit objects that would be considered rare in any Immortal Realm.

At the center of the altar was a Primordial Purple Qi crystal, five thousand feet in circumference, surrounded by millions of Xuanhuang aura.

"What a grand gesture; truly bold and impressive," Xu Fan marveled.

Standing by the altar was Feng Chang Ning, conducting the ceremony.

Many of Xu Fan’s old friends stood behind Feng Chang Ning, guarding her.

Everyone in the little Immortal Realm stood solemnly, their faith converging toward the central altar.

"Indeed, a person with a destined fate; in just a few decades, they’ve created such a grand spectacle," Xu Fan said, gazing at the central altar.

As a formations master, Xu Fan immediately recognized the purpose of the formation within the altar.

The nine smaller Immortal Realms would merge into one, seizing the fortunes of two Immortal Realms, using the human race merit and fortune as the foundation. This would not only elevate the little Immortal Realm to a true Immortal Realm but also make it the Immortal Realm of the human race.
