Chapter 1202: The Core of the System

Xu Fan stood quietly in front of the system runic sphere, waiting for a response.

But the sphere only spun faster, showing no other signs of reaction.

“A Primordial Purple Qi crystal as big as a star—doesn’t that excite you?!” Xu Fan couldn’t hold back his frustration.

The system runic sphere stayed silent.

“Help me out here! Even if I can’t grow taller, at least let me protect this sect.”

Still, no reply came.

“Maybe I’m going about this the wrong way?” Xu Fan thought, then decided to try a different approach.

“System, once we find that Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein, we’ll split it fifty-fifty.”

“You can absorb it all, and you don’t even have to unlock the system for me—it’s all yours,” Xu Fan added.

As soon as he finished speaking, the system runic sphere began to change.

Long chains of chaotic runes, like dragons, surged out of the sphere. They flew a short distance before dissolving into Xu Fan’s spirit space.

At the same time, the entire system runic sphere started to turn transparent.

The core of the system was now fully exposed before Xu Fan.

The moment Xu Fan saw the core, he was captivated.

He stared at it, dazed, and when it came into full view, he was utterly stunned.

“So that’s how it is,” Xu Fan murmured.

But just as he was about to explore further, the system runic sphere returned to its original form.

“I haven’t even started, and you’re already covering up again,” Xu Fan said, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

He sensed the system’s message: after finding the Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein, they would split it fifty-fifty.

Additionally, temporarily unlocking the saint realm would also require a Primordial Purple Qi crystal, all of which would be settled after he obtained the crystal vein.

Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the starry expanse above and the formation on the inner wall of the Three Thousand Realms in the distance. A faint smile crossed his lips.

At that moment, a pair of eyes appeared in the star region, silently watching Xu Fan.

Xu Fan met their gaze and smiled. “We’re all family here. You can’t exclude the head of the household.”

The Heavenly Eye in the star region vanished, and everything returned to normal.

“Those below the saint realm are nothing but ants—that’s not just a saying,” Xu Fan thought, feeling the power of the saint realm.

In that moment, he felt as though everything in the world was under his control.

Xu Fan turned his gaze to the grand formation being set up on the inner wall of the Three Thousand Realms.

With a gentle wave of his hand, all the materials needed for the grand formation appeared in the star region. As if alive, they moved into their proper places.

What would have taken five years to set up was completed in an instant at Xu Fan’s command.

A bottle of the drink Xu Fan often enjoyed in his past life appeared before him.

Xu Fan took it, opened it, and took a sip.

“Becoming a Sage feels amazing, but it’s just so damn expensive~,” Xu Fan said as he exited the Sage state.

“Master, the battle data from Wang Yulun’s first life has been collected. Please devise a battle plan,” Grape’s voice chimed in.

“This is simple~”

After reviewing the battle information from the first life, Xu Fan quickly came up with a battle plan.

Before long, Wang Yulun hurried over to Xu Fan, brimming with excitement.

“Big Brother Xu, I passed my first life!” Wang Yulun exclaimed joyfully.

“What did you gain from it~?” Xu Fan asked.

“I absorbed the memories of my True Self from the very beginning; it turns out he was also a disciple of the Yuanshi Sect.”

“He was born with a unique phenomenon that immediately caught the attention of the Yuanshi Sect.”

“Mastering the wide road without a teacher, he became a Golden Immortal in less than one hundred years’ time, and he reached the quasi-saint realm in three thousand years. Those memories of the True Self stopped at the moment he became a quasi-saint,” Wang Yulun explained.

“Moreover, back then, the True Self was the strongest in the Yuanshi Sect; even Elder Heaven’s Destruction was beneath him at that time.”

“Only the Yuan Lord could suppress him; he was truly too arrogant,” Wang Yulun sighed.

Hearing about his good brother’s True Self experience, Xu Fan couldn’t help but think of the system.

Without the constraints of the system, he might have been even more arrogant than his good brother’s True Self.

Curiosity sparked in Xu Fan about his good brother’s True Self memories from that previous life.

“Interesting, with such talent, I feel like your True Self shouldn’t have any problem becoming a chaotic saint.”

“Why use such a troublesome and thankless method?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.

He had methods to attain sainthood amid chaos and felt it wouldn’t be too difficult.

“My True Self once said he wanted to reach the chaotic peak, which is far more than just being a chaotic saint,” Wang Yulun replied.

“Chaotic peak~”

“That truly is…” Xu Fan didn’t know how to evaluate it.

He always thought those who pursued their perceived peak usually didn’t end up with very good results.

“At that time, I even laughed at him; there’s no strongest, only stronger. If you want to reach the peak, you must bear the weight.”

“Just as success seemed within reach, unfortunately, I ended up meeting Big Brother Xu,” Wang Yulun said with a hint of regret on his face.

“The peak isn’t that easy; I’ve never even considered it,” Xu Fan laughed.

Even though his talent was at its peak, he never thought about being the strongest.

“Alright, now I’ll help you remove the side technique from that Little Bai Snake of yours.”

As Xu Fan spoke, he gently pointed to the Little Bai Snake resting on Wang Yulun’s shoulder.

He lightly tapped the snake’s head with his finger before withdrawing his hand.

At that moment, Wang Yulun felt a connection with the Little Bai Snake, and the snake’s gaze towards him became warmer.

The Little Bai Snake gently lifted its head and rubbed against Wang Yulun’s cheek, as if their souls were intertwined.

“Perhaps after some time, your True Self might be reborn in another way.”

“That isn’t a big issue; you just need to remember one thing: don’t leave Hidden Spirit Island,” Xu Fan advised.

“Since my True Self is controlled by you, why can it still be reborn?” Wang Yulun asked in confusion.

“Your Big Brother Xu isn’t omnipotent; there are some methods that even I can’t prevent,” Xu Fan replied, looking at Wang Yulun.

With the perspective he gained from becoming a Sage earlier, Wang Yulun now radiated a special energy that even Grape couldn’t detect.

This energy quietly extended from Wang Yulun and floated into the star region, disappearing from sight.

“Alright, but I won’t leave Hidden Spirit Island until my True Self is fully dealt with,” Wang Yulun nodded.

Just then, a massive River of Time suddenly appeared in the star region.

In that River of Time, a virtual image resembling Xu Gang stood at its center.

“Has he advanced to the Great Luo Sage so quickly?”

Xu Fan felt the moment in the River of Time, instantly entering the Sage state again.
