Chapter 1259: Three Years

After everyone in this area reached the Nascent Soul Stage, the confidantes of Xu Fan’s good brother were momentarily stunned. Then, they quickly resumed their usual bickering and quarrels, tangled in their endless grievances.

On the sea outside Hidden Spirit Island, Wang Yulun was fishing, seeking some peace and quiet.

"Sometimes, I really admire that True Self. I wonder how he managed to handle so many women back then," Wang Yulun said, shaking his head.

"After your confidantes arrived in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, I erased all the imprints your True Self left on them."

"To put it simply, they still love you, but they won’t blindly follow you like they used to," Xu Fan said, projecting a light curtain.

In the light curtain, the Regent Princess of the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty was arguing with another woman who had once been at the Great Saint Realm. Now that both were at the Nascent Soul Stage, neither was afraid of the other.

"Those two will be at it for years," Wang Yulun said, rubbing his temples.

"I get that. But what about the other one?"

Another light curtain appeared, showing Little Bai Snake and a small white female cat staring each other down, the tension between them palpable.

"Their feud runs deeper. Little Bai has always been by my side, while the little cat, Xiao Mi, was a stray I picked up along the way."

"Since she doesn’t have a Chaotic Seed, she’s still stuck at the quasi-saint realm," Wang Yulun explained.

"So, who do you love more—Little Bai or Xiao Mi?" Xu Fan asked, a curious and slightly amused smile on his face.

"Uh…"

"I honestly don’t know," Wang Yulun said after a long pause.

"Fair enough. Once all your confidantes are gathered, I’ll extract the essence of your True Self from their memories to prevent any future issues," Xu Fan said.

"Thanks, Big Brother Xu," Wang Yulun nodded.

"By the way, how did Qianer react when your confidantes showed up?"

"She didn’t mind at all. In fact, she seemed happy, saying it was like gaining more sisters."

Hearing this, Xu Fan nodded, visibly relieved.

"I happen to have a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure-grade vehicle. When you’re free, you can take your harem on a tour of the Three Thousand Realms."

"And when you’re bored with the Three Thousand Realms, you can go treasure hunting in the Chaotic Mist Area," Xu Fan said with a grin.

With three Great Saints already in his good brother’s harem, they’d have no trouble navigating the Chaotic Mist Area—as long as they didn’t do anything reckless.

"Let’s sort out their conflicts first," Wang Yulun said, watching the ongoing arguments in the light curtain with a pained smile.

"Keep at it! The first time’s always rough, but you’ll get the hang of it. You’ll be a pro in no time."

After finishing their fishing trip, Xu Fan headed to the underground space.

There, in a secret realm within the underground space, a peculiar formation was waiting.

At the core of the formation, a cluster of chaotic runes suddenly appeared.

"These chaotic runes are from Number One; it looks like they’ve already entered the state," Xu Fan remarked, reaching out to touch the cluster of chaotic runes.

The moment his fingers brushed the runes, Xu Fan’s body stiffened.

His spirit was instantly overwhelmed by countless chaotic runes.

"What did Number One do? How did he gather so many chaotic runes?" Xu Fan exclaimed in shock.

He had only asked Number One to learn a bit about chaotic artifact crafting, but Number One had somehow brought back the entire inheritance of chaotic artifact crafting from that side.

Within the inheritance, Xu Fan discovered the experiences of his avatar over the past few years.

"Stealing rice and landing right in the rice jar—what incredible luck!" Xu Fan said excitedly.

"First, I’ll go into seclusion to digest these chaotic runes," Xu Fan informed Grape before retreating into seclusion.

As he did, time in Xu Fan’s vicinity began to accelerate.

Three years later, while Xu Fan was still immersed in comprehending the chaotic runes, Grape roused him.

"Master, the time you agreed upon with Senior Huangshan has arrived," Grape announced.

"That was quick," Xu Fan said, a hint of reluctance in his voice.

During those years of time acceleration, he had studied one chaotic god or demon’s rune system after another, broadening his horizons immensely.

He now felt confident in his ability to refine innate supreme treasures.

Wrapped in the power of Holy Sun, Xu Fan prepared himself.

At the Yuanshi Sect, three figures gathered outside the chaotic passage.

"That chaotic giant beast is a fusion of chaotic space and the five elemental bodies, making it extremely difficult to deal with."

"So, I was thinking of having Xu, the Divine Master, trap that chaotic giant beast within a confined area," Heaven’s Destruction suggested.

"Senior Huangshan already mentioned this to me; I’ve prepared the Spiritual Treasure for the grand formation and can activate it at any time," Xu Fan nodded.

"I heard that Divine Master Xu can hold his own against a Great Saint with his saintly power. If the battle becomes evenly matched, I hope you can lend a hand," Heaven’s Destruction said, somewhat sheepishly.

"Heaven’s Destruction, who do you think Divine Master Xu is? You don’t need to remind him," Huangshan chuckled.

"Let’s go; we can discuss the details on the way," Huangshan said, summoning a temple of Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure grade.

The three entered the temple and began their journey through the Chaotic Mist Area.

Meanwhile, on Wanquing Island, Xu Fan’s avatar bid farewell to Zhang Weiyun before dissipating.

"Senior Sister, I’ve looked around, and no one compares to my brother-in-law."

"Why don’t you just…"

Before the woman could finish, Zhang Weiyun shot her a sharp glare.

"Every day, all you do is ogle my husband. Aren’t you ashamed?"

"Don’t you dare leave! Today, I’ll teach you a lesson so you understand the consequences of coveting someone else’s husband," Zhang Weiyun declared, rolling up her sleeves to confront her Junior Sister.

In the endless chaotic mist, a massive Human Palace advanced, continuously breaking through space.

Inside the Human Palace, Xu Fan, Huangshan, and Heaven’s Destruction chatted over drinks.

"Senior Huangshan, those twelve youngsters you brought a few years ago have started their cultivation."

"I thought they were all prodigies, but it turns out some of these Great Saint reincarnations don’t have the talent I expected."

"Still, they excel in other areas," Xu Fan said with a smile.

"Becoming a Great Saint isn’t just about talent."

"Suddenly transitioning to a new world, their cultivation speed naturally won’t match what it was in their original world," Huangshan explained.

"Don’t worry; given time, they’ll shine," Heaven’s Destruction added with a smile.

He too had taken in a Great Saint reincarnation as his disciple.

As Xu Fan had noted, the child’s cultivation talent was average, and progress wasn’t as rapid as he’d hoped.

"Exactly, they’re still Great Saint reincarnations, after all."

As the three spoke, the temple suddenly shuddered, and a massive tentacle wrapped around the entire palace.
