Chapter 1174
by fanqienovelChapter 1174: Primordial Purple Qi
A virtual image of a shrinking chaotic giant beast appeared before Xu Fan.
Inside the reduced image was an octopus with twenty-eight long tentacles, each ending in a massive head.
At that moment, the twenty-eight giant mouths were madly chewing on the Chaotic Giant Whale.
The beast-like eyes occasionally glanced in the direction of Hidden Spirit Island.
It seemed to have caught a whiff of Hidden Spirit Island’s scent from the chaotic space.
“What are you staring at?”
A light column made of chaotic energy shot towards the distant chaotic giant beast that was devouring the Chaotic Giant Whale.
The head of the octopus-like chaotic giant beast instantly exploded.
However, each of its twenty-eight tentacles transformed into a separate chaotic giant beast, charging towards the Hidden Spirit Sect.
“Grape, let’s test the power of the sect’s Formation,” Xu Fan said, eyes closed, enjoying the treatment from the leader of the Precious Artifact Rabbit clan.
The strength of the giant beasts that emerged from the chaotic giant beast’s tentacles had just reached the Great Luo level; the sect’s formation was just right to deal with it.
“Understood, Master.”
Finally, the chaotic energy above Hidden Spirit Sect began to gather, forming a giant sword that sliced through the chaotic beasts rushing towards Hidden Spirit Sect at the speed of light.
One massive chaotic sword light after another was cut, splitting the chaotic giant beasts apart and erasing them in the chaotic mist.
At that moment, Xu Fan had already fallen into a deep sleep and was carried back to the room by Zhang Weiyun.
Three months later, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes while lying in bed.
“Husband, you’re awake~” Zhang Weiyun came over, holding a cup of tea.
“Finally recovered; I was a bit mentally exhausted during this time,” Xu Fan said, accepting the tea and taking a few sips.
“Master, everything is ready. When shall we set off?” Grape’s voice sounded.
“Weiyun~” Xu Fan said softly.
“Hmm?”
“Just point in any direction.”
Zhang Weiyun immediately understood Xu Fan’s intention and casually pointed in a direction.
“Let’s go; let’s keep moving in that direction,” Xu Fan said easily.
“Understood~”
Hidden Spirit Island, standing in the chaotic mist for thousands of years, began to move slowly and then picked up speed.
“It’s a pity that the space in the outer realms is exceptionally solid; otherwise, crossing space would be much quicker,” Xu Fan said with some regret.
“It’s alright, husband; there are many good things in the chaotic mist of the outer realms. Who knows, we might just come across the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure or even the Primordial Supreme Treasure,” Zhang Weiyun said with a smile beside Xu Fan.
“Finding a common innate supreme treasure is already unimaginable, let alone the Primordial Supreme Treasure.” Feeling the path home, Xu Fan’s mood brightened.
On the journey home, fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the chaotic mist, where the road ahead was unclear, there was little change aside from the chaotic giant beasts occasionally brushing past Hidden Spirit Island.
In a small world designed to observe the path ahead of Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan lounged boredly on a recliner.
“They always talk about the dangers of the outer realms, but I haven’t felt any,” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.
He eventually credited this to his wife’s good fortune shielding the entire Hidden Spirit Island.
“Grape, tell Number Two to carve a Heavenly Spirit Fortune Star Formation,” Xu Fan instructed.
“As you command, Master.”
Not long after, a figure emerged from the underground space, muttering complaints.
“No danger, no adventures—this is getting boring.”
Just as Xu Fan finished speaking, he sensed an unusual and supreme aura emanating from the chaotic mist.
“Grape, head in that direction,” Xu Fan directed, pointing toward the source of the strange aura.
Hidden Spirit Island promptly adjusted its course.
Soon, Xu Fan spotted a purple crystal measuring one thousand feet in diameter.
The crystal radiated an aura reminiscent of the chaos at the dawn of creation.
“What’s this?” Xu Fan asked, staring at the purple crystal while stroking his chin.
“Master, this is Primordial Purple Qi. It’s of a higher level than Xuanhuang aura and is highly sought after by saints in the outer realms,” Grape explained.
“So, this thing must be incredibly valuable,” Xu Fan remarked, a faint smile crossing his face.
Just as he was about to store the Primordial Purple Qi crystal in the treasury, a sudden force pulled at Xu Fan’s body.
The Primordial Purple Qi crystal instantly turned to smoke, forming a dragon that merged into Xu Fan.
“System, you’ve gone too far!” Xu Fan’s expression darkened.
He realized that all the Primordial Purple Qi he had discovered had been absorbed by the system’s runic sphere.
What frustrated him most was that he felt no change in the system runic sphere whatsoever.
“Master, that piece of Primordial Purple Qi crystal could have been traded for at least two Primal Spiritual Treasures in the Three Thousand Realms,” Grape said timidly.
At that moment, Xu Fan wished the system would materialize so he could confront it directly.
“I get it. Let’s continue on our original path,” Xu Fan said, returning to the small world where he observed the road ahead.
In the spirit space, Xu Fan gazed at the system runic sphere, which looked as ordinary as ever.
“Fine, absorb the Primordial Purple Qi crystal, but at least give me some feedback on its effects.”
“Otherwise, how am I supposed to let you absorb anything in the future?” Xu Fan said, staring at the system runic sphere.
As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, the star-like system runic sphere began to rotate slowly.
The runes encasing the outer layer of the sphere started to unravel in Xu Fan’s line of sight.
A deep pit formed on the surface of the runic sphere, leading straight to its core.
The most critical part of the system was now exposed before Xu Fan.
The moment Xu Fan saw the core, he entered a state of enlightenment.
Outside Hidden Spirit Island, endless streams of chaotic energy seemed to converge toward Xu Fan’s body.
This state lasted an entire year before it finally ceased.
Xu Fan, in the spirit space, slowly opened his eyes.
“So this is the saint realm?”
“It’s not bad, but the methods of becoming a saint in the outer realms are the only useful part. The rest isn’t worth two Primal Spiritual Treasures,” Xu Fan commented.
“Master, you’re finally awake,” Grape’s voice chimed in.
“Let’s keep moving,” Xu Fan ordered.
“As you command~”
In the Three Thousand Realms, within the Da Zhou Celestial Dynasty,
Wang Yulun sat in a secret chamber, staring at the communication mirror on the table for a long time.
“Are you still hoping your Big Brother will return to stop my comeback?” a soft voice echoed.
“Not to stop, but to separate.”
“You are you, and I am I. Once we part, our past lives and affairs will no longer matter,” Wang Yulun said, still fixated on the communication mirror.
“Every time I hear that, I want to laugh. You have no idea how much I’ve sacrificed for you in this life.”
“Countless reincarnations, countless schemes—all for this life.”
“If you and I merge, we’ll become the greatest in the Three Thousand Realms,” the voice declared with a hint of dominance.
“Then let me ask you this: were your cultivation partners from your past life truly sincere?”
“Yes, they were the only warmth on my journey to becoming the greatest in the Three Thousand Realms.”
As the voice spoke, its tone softened.
