Late Heavenly Immortal Realm, Chaos in Xianlan City!

In the time that followed, Xianlan City went under martial law.

Chen Fan's shops also closed, while the city's residents shut their doors tight, neither stepping out the front door nor crossing the inner threshold.

Before martial law was imposed, the City Lord's Mansion gave the residents three hours to purchase supplies. During those three hours, Chen Fan cleared out all the inventory from his six shops in a massive sale, disposing of nearly everything that needed to be handled. Immortal stones were hard currency wherever one went.

He had five hundred Heavenly Immortal peak puppet guards in Xianlan City. Five of his ten True Immortal servants had also arrived in Xianlan City ahead of time, bringing five hundred of the bravest and most battle-hardened Heavenly Immortal peak Immortal Weapons with them.

At that moment, they had all scattered into small groups and hidden throughout the vast Xianlan City.

If anything happened in Xianlan City, these forces would be a powerful aid for Chen Fan to escape with Zhou Zhao and Luo Nanzhi.

During martial law, Chen Fan began using the Immortal Dao Source to cleanse his Primordial Spirit, racing against time to turn the Immortal Dao Sources he had plundered into his own strength.

Using the Primordial Spirit as the vessel, consuming ten thousand strands of Immortal Dao Source to perform a Primordial Spirit cleansing!

Completed one Primordial Spirit cleansing!

Completed two Primordial Spirit cleansings!

Completed three Primordial Spirit cleansings!

...

Completed eighty-eight Primordial Spirit cleansings!

Congratulations, you have broken through to the Late Heavenly Immortal Realm!

One Primordial Spirit cleansing took roughly nine days. Eighty-eight Primordial Spirit cleansings had taken only seven hundred and ninety-two days—just over two years in the long Immortal Dao.

To immortals, it was no more than the flick of a finger.
