The Dragon King had made his decision.
Life in the tenth realm's chaotic beasts was good.
But as the Dragon King, a being with great ambition, he naturally wouldn't be satisfied with this.
Having been in the ninth realm for so long, let alone seeing other chaotic beasts, he hadn't even sensed their aura.
There was only one possibility... the chaotic beasts of the ninth realm had all been killed.
The chaotic beasts would then take over the ninth realm.
"Alas."
At this moment, the Sword Master beside him sighed.
Looking at Chen Fan with some helplessness, he said, "I originally wanted to be a chaotic wanderer, traveling through chaos alone and experiencing true freedom. You, this guy, are never still. Fine... it's because my Sword Realm owes you a favor, isn't it?"
After speaking...
The Sword Master said to the sword-carrying boy Ah Qi beside him, "Go back with the Dragon King. Say it's my order, all eighth-rank cultivators of the Sword Realm, prepare for battle."
Seeing this, Chen Fan also thought of something and looked at Old Demon Chu, "I didn't think clearly before. Old Demon Chu, take Wusheng and the other two back with the Dragon King and bring the strong cultivators of my Life and Death Realm."
With just the Dragon King's word, the Life and Death Realm might not believe it.
It was the Sword Master who thought more clearly and sent Ah Qi back.
On the Life and Death Realm's side, nothing would be more convincing than Old Demon Chu returning.
Hearing this, Old Demon Chu frowned, looking at the City Lord with some worry, "Then what about your side..."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Chen Fan said, "The Sword Master is with me, there won't be any accidents."
Old Demon Chu looked at the Sword Master.
In his eyes, there was a full measure of scrutiny.
After a long time, he finally spoke, "Then I'll have to trouble the Sword Master."
The Sword Master smiled, "I know you don't trust me much, but you have to trust City Lord Chen's judgment, don't you?"
"..."
Indeed.
Old Demon Chu did not trust the Sword Master.
Except for himself, he did not trust anyone with the City Lord's safety.
Even Wusheng, Old Demon Chu did not trust.
"Go." Chen Fan had to speak again.
He knew Old Demon Chu's thoughts and could only speak again.
He still trusted the Sword Master more. Besides... even if the Sword Master had other intentions, did he, Chen Fan, not have any backup plans?
"...Alright." Old Demon Chu finally chose to compromise.
There was no choice.
He had to obey the City Lord's orders.
"Yes."
Old Demon Chu nodded solemnly.
Then, he cupped his fists and said, "City Lord, one month later, I will bring people to wait for you on the stone path."
"En."
"Let's go."
Old Demon Chu waved his hand, and demonic energy surged, taking Wusheng and Luoran up into the sky.
"Roar."
The giant dragon roared, sweeping Ah Qi away.
The group thus parted ways.
"Heh heh."
Watching them leave, the Sword Master smiled helplessly, "Old Demon Chu, this guy probably trusts no one but himself."
"En."
Chen Fan nodded and said, "I am very fortunate..."
The Sword Master knew what he was referring to.
On this point, he also agreed, nodding, "It's our fortune to have someone like this to follow us. I also have someone like that, but I didn't bring them out."
"Haha."
Chen Fan laughed heartily, "Let's go. These few days, I'll trouble the Sword Master to protect my cultivation."
The Sword Master remained noncommittal.
Protecting cultivation was simple.
...
The two quickly walked out of the ninth realm.
It is worth mentioning that the reason no one could leave the ninth realm before was due to the obstruction of Thousand Threads and Five Elements.
Now that the Order Heavenly Policy had appeared, and the two were busy fighting for it, the rule that no one could leave had long since vanished.
Therefore, the two of them easily left the ninth realm.
On the other side, the Dragon King also left with his people with ease.
Boom!
As soon as they left the ninth realm, the aura of chaos became sharp.
The chaotic energy became very violent.
The blade-like aura scratched their faces painfully.
"Alas."
The Sword Master sighed, lamenting, "As expected, the chaotic race is too important."
Without chaotic beasts, it was difficult for humans to survive in chaos.
Such sharp chaotic currents could make even an Great Emperor feel in danger, let alone others.
Chen Fan nodded and said, "Chaotic beasts, the more the better, but they also need to be restricted."
"Indeed."
On this point, the Sword Master also agreed.
Chaotic beasts could be used, they could live peacefully in chaos, but they could absolutely not be allowed to grow indefinitely.
Once that situation occurred, humans would have no say in chaos.
Most chaotic beasts were violent.
Once the chaotic beasts multiplied, completely controlling chaos would be a disaster for humanity.
The two chatted as they carved out a path through the chaos.
Chaos had no end.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were just a corner of chaos. Of course... more chaotic areas had not been explored, and it was uncertain if they had any edges.
The two quickly left the scope of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Chen Fan remembered the recording given by the Lord of Light. At his level, a single glance could imprint it clearly.
That world was separate from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Rumbling.
This journey took ten days.
Two top eighth-rank cultivators flying at full speed took ten days to finally reach their destination.
Boom.
Ahead, the chaotic divine mountains that had appeared in the Lord of Light's recording appeared.
Those impossibly vast mountain ranges floated quietly in the chaos.
"Is this the place?"
The Sword Master raised his hand, looking at the endless chaotic divine mountains, and asked.
The divine mountains were densely packed and stretched endlessly.
But in the endless chaos, they were just a small corner.
Chaos had no direction. Without coordinates, this location would be very difficult to find.
If not for the coordinates provided by the Lord of Light, finding this small area and even this mountain range might take tens of thousands of years.
Chaos was truly too vast.
"What's here?" the Sword Master asked again.
"My fortuitous encounter."
At this moment, Chen Fan's eyes were already filled with ecstasy.
Not because of the chaotic divine mountains, but because of... the Heavenly Crown.
The Heavenly Crown within his body was trembling.
It was an excited emotion, Chen Fan sensed it clearly.
The Heavenly Crown had sensed a world of the same origin and had become excited.
"Senior."
Chen Fan suddenly said, "Please help me protect my cultivation, Senior. I'm going to retrieve my fortuitous encounter."
"En."
The Sword Master nodded, saying nothing.
Since he had come, he was prepared to protect Chen Fan's cultivation.
Although he didn't know the purpose before, the Sword Master was sure that Chen Fan did things with a clear objective.
This young man had a goal in everything he did.
The chaotic divine mountains in his sight were his goal.
"Thank you."
Chen Fan cupped his fists in thanks.
The next moment...
Boom.
His figure instantly rushed towards the chaotic mountain range.
There were many mountains, stretching endlessly.
And Chen Fan's target was the center of the mountain range.
There... lay the world of the same origin as the Heavenly Crown.
Just like the Gravity Bead and the Gravity World, the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and the Thunder Domain.
He would reclaim the Thunder Domain sooner or later.
Boom!
At the peak of the mountain range, Chen Fan walked through the air.
Finally... as the Heavenly Crown's trembling reached its limit, a sealed world appeared in his sight.
