Chapter 722
Luck and the First Treasure Embryo
After giving his instructions, Xu Chen disappeared into the void of this star field.
"Great Venerable Wan Cang, our human race is about to take off!"
After Xu Chen left, You Sanqian dared to say some things.
"Haha, of course I know! With such power and such care for the human bloodline, the Holy Lord is bound to take off!" Grand Venerable Wan Cang laughed loudly.
After listening, You Sanqian simply shook his head.
"Great Venerable Wan Cang, you still don't understand what true takeoff means?"
A flash of light appeared in the void, and more than a dozen innate treasures that matched the Great Dao cultivated by the Great Venerable Wan Cang appeared in the star field, each radiating unique power.
"This...this...this is a supreme innate treasure!" Grand Venerable Wan Cang looked completely unaccustomed to the world, his mouth agape in shock.
"Pick one. Once you advance to the Saint Venerable level, you should have a suitable magic weapon," You Sanqian said with a smile.
"Ah, it's really for me." Grand Venerable Wan Cang felt as if it were a dream.
"Take it. The Holy Lord gave me dozens of innate treasures and a vast amount of cultivation resources. In the future, we will use these as the foundation to build the human treasury in this star field."
"Cultivate diligently, and one day you will become the ruler of this lineage of humans."
Upon hearing this, the Great Venerable Wan Cang showed a puzzled expression.
Aren't you staying?
"I want to follow in the footsteps of the Holy Lord. In the star sea region where the Holy Lord resides, although the human race is flourishing, it also faces considerable pressure. I want to shine there." You Sanqian's tone was fervent, and he imagined the scene of the human race advancing to the level of a god under the leadership of the Holy Lord.
In an unfamiliar star field, Xu Chen arrived at the outskirts of a god's territory.
Using the power of cause and effect and the changes in life, they infiltrated this divine realm to gather information.
"The Emperor Light Clan has four experts above the Great Dao in charge of it."
"There are seven such divine races in this star field. Based on this, the strongest in this star field should be at the fourth realm."
In a remote city of the God Clan, Xu Chen savored the local delicacies and learned about the star field. As for why he used such a primitive method, it was because his current Dao Realm was not yet at the level where he could search the memories of powerful God Clan members without being detected.
"I wonder how many innate treasure embryos of destiny are there in this star field?"
At this moment, Xu Chen transformed into an ordinary Saint Venerable Realm expert of the Emperor Light Clan, and the cause and effect and the disguised true spirit were also connected to the will of this divine race.
After enjoying the special delicacies of the Diguang tribe, Xu Chen arrived at the largest Lingbao Tower in the city.
Upon arriving at the building, someone with the cultivation level of a Saint Venerable was immediately given the highest level of hospitality.
The Grand Venerable Realm leader greeted Xu Chen with utmost respect and trepidation.
Upon arriving at the secret venue reserved for VIPs, Xu Chen immediately stated his requirements.
"I want to buy a rare innate treasure embryo related to the path of destiny, preferably of medium grade."
Upon hearing this request, the Grand Venerable Realm leader looked troubled.
"No?" Xu Chen asked, somewhat disappointed.
"It's not that we don't have them, but the embryonic form of the Qi Luck is extremely precious even among the seven great divine races. Although my merchant guild has some in its treasury, the price they've set is a bit outrageous, so it's not appropriate for me to ask you for it, senior."
The Grand Venerable Realm Manager rubbed his hands together, his face showing a look that said, "Don't be angry with me."
"The price is negotiable, as long as it's available," Xu Chen, a wealthy and generous man, said with a smile.
"Our Chamber of Commerce leader has offered three top-tier innate treasures, and one of them must involve the Great Dao of Time."
Even Xu Chen, who was wealthy and powerful, was somewhat stunned by this price.
"Three top-tier innate treasures!!!"
Having anticipated this reaction, the Grand Master lowered his head.
"How about a discount? It's a top-tier innate treasure. You can report it." Xu Chen's tone was somewhat complicated. This was the first time he had said something like this in his entire cultivation journey.
“Someone once offered the price of two top-tier innate treasures, but my guild leader still refused,” the Grand Venerable Realm manager said leisurely.
"Forehead……"
"How about we change the terms? I'll offer the price of two top-tier innate treasures, and I'll also help you refine three more top-tier innate treasures. What do you say?"
"I am a divine-grade weapon refiner."
As Xu Chen spoke, he took out a top-tier innate treasure battle sword. However, this battle sword was forged from a high-grade innate treasure embryo and six mid-grade innate treasure embryos, barely qualifying it as a top-tier innate treasure.
The Grand Venerable Realm Master was deeply shocked by the power of this top-tier innate treasure battle blade.
"I will report this matter to you. Please wait a moment, senior."
After the Grandmaster finished speaking, he left the secret realm, and Xu Chen enjoyed the scenery alone in the secret realm.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a powerful figure exuding the aura of an invincible Saint Venerable arrived in the secret realm.
"Fellow Daoist, can the embryos of the most outstanding innate treasures of the Great Daos of Time and Devouring be refined?" asked the invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert.
"Okay~ But I need to check first whether that mid-grade contracted innate treasure embryo meets my requirements." Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that there was something to discuss.
An embryo of a mid-grade innate supreme treasure, exuding a mysterious aura, appeared before Xu Chen.
This embryo resembles a jade ruyi, its entire body ablaze with color, as if imbued with the aura of countless condensed forces.
"can."
Xu Chen nodded and waved his hand to take out two top-tier innate treasures. These were pieced together from the embryos of high-grade innate treasures in Xu Chen's treasure vault.
"These two treasures~" The invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert frowned slightly, but finally nodded in agreement.
Both parties signed the contract under the witness of the will of the Diguang tribe.
Finally, Xu Chen arrived at the core territory of the Emperor Light Clan, which made him a little nervous. Although he had concealed his aura well and was confident that he could deceive the experts above the third or fourth realm, there are always exceptions. The more top-level experts are, the more likely they are to detect any unusual aura.
Therefore, after Xu Chen took over the three top-tier innate treasure embryos, he began to refine them.
Xu Chen's weapon-forging speed was very fast, but in order not to reveal anything unusual, he spent ten thousand years.
After completing and handing over the three top-tier innate treasures, Xu Chen obtained the Jade Ruyi Qi Luck embryo he desired.
Xu Chen then searched the Emperor Light Clan again and exchanged three high-grade innate treasures for two low-grade innate treasure embryos.
In his final days, Xu Chen used this method to travel among the various divine races, acquiring a total of three mid-grade and ten low-grade treasure embryos related to the path of fortune.
"I've finally collected them all. It took me a full 30,000 years."
"I must find a way to retrieve the treasure I handed over from the star field."
In the unfamiliar star field, Xu Chen waved his hand, and a huge treasure-hunting flying ship appeared in the star field.
This flying boat is a superior-grade innate treasure, but the effort required to refine it is no less than that required to create a top-grade innate treasure.
A peculiar fluctuation spread from the spaceship throughout the entire star field.
As this peculiar fluctuation spread for an extended period, the feedback received by the spaceship also increased.
Most of these feedbacks came from places where innate spiritual treasures and supreme treasures were conceived, as well as a small number of treasure troves and the burial sites of powerful figures who had fallen.
Xu Chen didn't hesitate and created tens of thousands of temporary clones, which began to travel to the coordinates indicated by these special fluctuations.
Three thousand years later, in the treasure trove of a mid-grade innate supreme treasure on the Great Dao of Space, Xu Chen slowly took out the embryo of a mid-grade innate supreme treasure.
"As expected of a star field capable of producing experts of the fourth realm, it is truly extraordinary."
In just these three thousand years, Xu Chen has already obtained two mid-grade innate treasure embryos.
Looking at the spatial treasure embryo in his hand, which resembled a battle axe, Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"I never thought of this when I was traveling around the various star systems, but now that I'm poor, I've finally remembered it." "But this method is really good; the two Xus would probably love it if they came over."
Thinking of this, a spatial portal appeared, and Xu Chen pulled the two Xus out of the portal.
"This is where?"
"Come here to refine weapons?" The two Xu looked around in confusion, and when they found themselves in an unfamiliar star field, a glint of thief seemed to appear in their eyes.
“Come here to search for treasures. This star field can nurture experts of the fourth realm, and there are many innate treasure embryos nurtured within it. I thought you liked doing this, so I'm entrusting it to you,” Xu Chen said.
"This is great, I like it!"
"Leave it to me."
As the two Xus spoke, their figures transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the treasure-hunting flying boat in the distance. The treasure-hunting flying boat started up and transformed into a beam of light, entering the void.
"Indeed, professional matters should be left to professionals."
"Oh, right, also give the embryo of the treasure of the Qi Luck path to Da Xu."
With a wave of his hand, Xu Chen sent several embryonic treasures of immense fortune flying into the spatial gate.
After doing all this, he suddenly remembered the human race in this star system.
"More than 30,000 years have passed. Let's see how the human race has developed."
Within a star field where stellar energy is relatively abundant, a vast main continent sits.
Beyond the main continent, continents of varying sizes are scattered like stars on a chessboard.
As soon as Xu Chen arrived, You Sanqian stepped out of the void and bowed to Xu Chen.
"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
"The development is quite good~" Xu Chen scanned the area with his divine sense and found that the number of humans was more than tens of millions of times greater than it was 30,000 years ago.
"It's all thanks to the Holy Lord's support."
The surrounding void trembled as the Holy Venerable Wan Cang emerged from the void, excitedly addressing Xu Chenxing.
"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
Upon seeing Xu Chen again, the Holy Venerable Wan Cang was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Don't get so excited. Your development has only just begun, and there's still a long way to go."
Get up~
Inside a temple on the main continent of the human race, numerous powerful figures who had risen to prominence in the past 30,000 years paid their respects to Xu Chen.
"The human race in the Qu Xuan Star Region is truly remarkable. It's a pity I can't send a strong expert to guard this place, otherwise it would save me some trouble."
Looking at the human beings bowing in the main hall, apart from You Sanqian and Wan Cang Saint Venerable, the highest realm of the rest was only the Great Luo Realm, and their cultivation techniques, realms, and supernatural abilities were sparse, making them no match for ordinary Great Luo Realm experts of the Saint Race.
"Everyone, get up!"
Xu Chen waved his hand gently, and hundreds of dreamlike rays of light entered the bodies of the many powerful figures below, helping them to stabilize their foundations and at least give them the ability to fight back against enemies of the same realm.
"Holy Lord, for nearly thirty thousand years, our human race..."
You Sanqian took the lead and began to talk about the development of this lineage of human race.
After Xu Chen had a full understanding, he nodded slightly.
"Develop steadily, and don't rush it. Wait until our main human race has a powerful expert above the Great Dao before you develop rapidly."
After deciding on the future development direction of this lineage of human race, Xu Chen left and continued to wander among the various divine and holy races.
Millions of years pass in the blink of an eye.
Having explored this star field, Xu Chen prepared to return to the Star Sea.
In an unfamiliar star field, a massive treasure-hunting spaceship flew out of the void and stopped not far from Xu Chen.
With excited expressions, the two Xus led Xu Chen to the secret realm of the treasure-hunting flying boat.
"The treasures contained in this star field are several times greater than those in the Star Sea Field."
"Over the past million years, one top-tier innate treasure embryo has been found, along with thirty-five high-grade, four hundred and twenty mid-grade, and countless low-grade treasures. The rest are treasures hidden in the treasure trove."
"However, in recent years, fewer and fewer treasures have been found, as if it has reached a critical point, and it may be more difficult to find them in the future."
As they spoke, the two Xus took a top-grade innate treasure and handed it to Xu Chen.
"The treasure hunt ends here. Come back with me and digest your thoughts."
"Next time I encounter a more powerful star field, I'll let you come here to search for treasure again."
"Good~"
Xu Chen took the two Xus back to the Star Sea.
Inside the cave, Xu Chen sensed the newly added Dao essence within the Star Sea Domain. Although he comprehended these principles, his own strength increased even further.
Familiar figures of Xu Chen emerged one after another from the void.
After the family finished their meal in the cave, Xu Chen felt the call of Zunhai.
Inside a magnificent temple, Xu Chen played chess with Zun Hai.
"Congratulations on your further improvement, senior," Xu Chen said, placing a chess piece on the board.
"Don't call me senior, call me big brother~" Zun Hai rolled his eyes at Xu Chen. I'm not the kind of person who would abandon his brothers just because he's strong.
"You haven't been around for over a million years, and no one has been willing to play chess with me. It's been so boring."
"Let's play a few games of chess first, and then we can talk in detail."
"Good~"
Xu Chen played ten games of chess with Zun Hai, but each game ended in a draw.
"The one behind you seems to have found a secret method to leave the border and has already gone out," Zun Hai said, taking a sip of tea.
"We've entered the boundary chaos." Xu Chen's heart tightened.
"Yes, if we let him find more star regions and bring them back, his strength may reach a new level in the future."
"So the reason I called you here today is to talk to you about how confident we are if the powerful figures of our Star Sea Domain unite to attack that star field you gave us?" Zun Hai asked.
Xu Chen recalled what he had seen and heard when he went to that star field, and finally came to the conclusion that both sides would suffer heavy losses.
"It would be a lose-lose situation. That star region is no less developed than our Star Sea Region. A direct attack would inevitably result in both sides suffering heavy losses. Plus, it's an away game, so..."
"Is there any other way?" Zun Hai asked.
"Brother, please allow me to think about it."
As Xu Chen spoke, he began to deduce the possibilities in his mind.
Zunhai didn't disturb him and slowly savored the food.
After a moment, Xu Chen spoke.
"There is a way, it just depends on whether the powerful figures on the Great Dao in our Star Sea Domain are willing to give it up." A fervent light flashed in Xu Chen's eyes.
"Why not? Speak up!"
"Using the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure as bait, I have a way to reverse it and disguise it as the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure that is about to be born from chaos." (End of this chapter)
