Chapter 724
Strange Starfield
“If we’re going to fight over it, there’s only one Xuanhuang Treasure here, but we brothers have more than a dozen.”
"Ultimately, there can only be one beneficiary. But if we use it as bait..."
As Zun Hai spoke, he waved his hand and looked at the dozen or so powerful figures on the Great Dao around him.
"Most of us brothers will benefit."
After Zun Hai finished speaking, he looked around, waiting for a reaction.
"I agree to use it as bait, but if you fellow Daoists want to snatch it, I will too," said a powerful figure on the Great Dao surrounded by the Great Dao of Destruction, his tone stern.
Subsequently, more and more powerful figures on the Great Dao began to express their agreement.
However, some powerful figures on the Great Dao have become increasingly concentrated in their auras, and some have even directly descended into this star sea region.
"The outcome is still uncertain. Besides, are you sure your plan will succeed?"
"I don't like to look too far ahead; seizing the moment is the most important thing."
All the powerful figures on the Great Dao turned their gazes toward the speaker, and for a moment, a strange aura permeated this Star Sea region.
"Times have changed!"
"Brother, don't you understand yet?"
"In the past, we could not find other star regions, so we could only fight against the alien demons and fight among the strong in this star region."
"But things are different now! We have other options, other star systems we can annex."
"With such a tremendous opportunity, we should unite and face it together!"
"Let the new star system become stronger, and let us become stronger too!"
"Lord of the Law, how about joining us? We all cultivate in the same star field. Wouldn't it be better if we joined forces to conquer other star fields?"
Inside a temple in the void outside this starry sea, Xu Chen sipped his tea, listening to Zun Hai's words with a sense of regret.
"We can't fight anymore. I want to collect more of the Dao essence left behind by these powerful figures on the Great Dao."
The immense power of the stars in space flickered as Xu Chen returned to the human territory.
In Xu Chen's cave, Xu Chen fished among the heavens at the edge, waiting for the Venerable Sea.
Six months later, Xu Chen, who was fishing, looked up at the sky.
A colossal phantom descended, holding a newly created Xuanhuang treasure in its hand.
"Big brother~"
Xu Chen put away his fishing rod, a smile appearing on his face.
"I've already reached an agreement with them. You will be in charge of refining it into a form close to being born. If it can successfully devour that star field, you'll receive a share of the blessing."
The enormous phantom transformed into Zun Hai and came to Xu Chen's side, handing him a mirror that exuded the aura of a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.
"This is a treasure mirror that can replicate anything it reflects or merges with. However, the replicated items cannot exceed the level of a mid-grade innate supreme treasure."
"For those who are powerful on the Great Dao, some things are useless, but they can be used as bait."
Xu Chen could tell that Zun Hai was very satisfied with this Xuanhuang treasure.
Because of this supreme treasure, even if that star field obtains it, they won't lose much, and they won't feel too bad if it's lost. It's simply the perfect choice to be used as bait.
"Leave it to me, brother. However, to make the bait more realistic, it may take me a while to reverse the refining process."
Xu Chen gently stroked the mirror, feeling the divine runes of the Great Dao within it, as well as the Dao runes at its core, which were even higher in dimension than the divine runes of the Great Dao.
"I need 3000 million years."
Zunhai nodded.
"3000 million years is neither a long nor a short time. It's just enough time for the powerful figures in our Star Sea Region to prepare."
"By the way, if the Star Sea Domain can really swallow that star domain, the extra Star Sea Domains that my five brothers and I have will all be given to your human race."
Upon hearing Zun Hai's words, Xu Chen's eyes lit up instantly.
The more territory the human race occupies, the stronger the human race's Great Dao fortune will be. As long as such a vast area is fully controlled, under the nurturing of the Great Dao fortune, sooner or later a genius will emerge who can cultivate to the level of the Great Dao.
"Thanks, bro!"
"We brothers don't talk about this!"
Let's go!
Zunhai stepped into the void.
Xu Chen looked at the replica mirror in front of him and a smile appeared on his lips.
"This is a good thing. We must make good use of it when it is refined in reverse."
Holding the mirror, Xu Chen arrived inside the Great Xu Cave.
Upon entering the cave, Da Xu immediately sensed the aura emanating from the mirror in Xu Chen's hand.
"This is a supreme treasure! Where did you get it?"
Da Xu snatched the mirror directly from Xu Chen's hand.
"I need you to reverse the process and keep it in a state of imminent birth."
"I've bought you 3000 years. How much you can understand from what's in this mirror is up to you."
"By the way, this mirror can replicate everything, up to the level of a mid-grade innate treasure."
"During this time, you should acquire more low-grade innate treasures for the human race."
"Although our human race is wealthy now, even a Saint Venerable Realm expert can't get a single supreme treasure. We should take this opportunity to make more copies."
Hearing Xu Chen's words, Da Xu, who was immersed in exploring the Xuanhuang Treasure, simply nodded.
"Just keep it to yourself."
As Xu Chen returned to his cave to continue fishing in the heavens, he suddenly felt something.
So he summoned a portal and entered it.
In an unfamiliar star field, a large army of human Saint Venerable Realm experts is fighting a great battle against an alliance formed by alien races.
The battle was extremely fierce, with Saint Venerable Realm and even Invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts falling from time to time.
Xu Chen watched the battle from outside the battlefield.
"The eldest brother's military formation skills are still lacking. When we get back, we'll have Father give him some pointers."
Xu Chen watched Xu Qinhu lead the human warriors on the battlefield and nodded slightly, indicating that although it was not quite up to par, he still approved.
"The opposing side should be a coalition of alien races, and their strength is not weak. If I don't take action, at least 60% of the human race's experts will perish in order to win."
As Xu Chen spoke, he formed a hand seal with one hand.
In an instant, all the human warriors on the battlefield felt a massive surge of life force within them, and under the nourishment of this life force, their own essence increased dramatically.
If they receive this buff while playing games, they will find that their health and stamina bars have become infinite.
Sensing this, many powerful human warriors began to frantically burn their own life force, fighting for their lives.
The battlefield situation reversed, and the alien alliance army suffered repeated defeats.
Finally unable to hold on any longer, they scattered and fled.
The human warriors on the battlefield did not pursue, but instead looked in the direction where Xu Chen was.
"Greetings to the Holy Lord of the Human Race!"
All the powerful human warriors on the battlefield bowed, their faces filled with fervor.
Meanwhile, at the rear of the battlefield, the Great Venerable Realm expert who was originally the ruler of the human race showed a shocked expression on his face.
"Such an important person actually has the time to come here!"
Seeing the many powerful human beings bowing, the former human ruler quickly followed suit.
"How is this star field?" Xu Chen asked with a smile. "Holy Lord, it's awesome! Absolutely awesome!"
"We old people at the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm haven't felt this sense of evenly matched, evenly matched conquest for a long time."
"Being invincible is lonely; it's a great fortune to meet an equally matched opponent." The leader of the invincible Saint Venerable realm military lords spoke with excitement.
Xu Qinhu, who was standing to the side, also smiled.
"That's good~"
"If you need support from behind, just have Qin Hu notify me."
Xu Chen nodded, then inquired about the development of the human race in this area before heading to the star field where Xu Xuanshen was located.
Upon arriving in the human territory based on cause and effect, they found a peaceful and harmonious place.
Sensing Xu Chen's presence, Xu Xuanshen hurriedly came over to greet him.
"The human race in your Starry Sea region is developing quite well," Xu Chen praised with a smile.
"The powerful beings of various races in this star field are too pragmatic. Unable to defeat them, they simply withdrew."
"So now, the entire human territory looks peaceful, without a trace of war." Xu Xuanshen's expression was strange.
Xu Chen sensed the development of the human race during this period.
"They are indeed being too pragmatic; those great clans and holy races have not offered any resistance whatsoever."
"This star field is interesting. You will guard it here and continue to watch over the development of the human race."
"I'll take a look around the surrounding star sea."
Xu Chen stepped into the void, and as he arrived, he randomly extracted the memories of an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert, and flew towards the human race in this star field.
The Star God Clan is guarded by five powerful beings who have reached the Great Dao.
Xu Chen arrived outside the territory and transformed into an ordinary Star God.
There was a teahouse right across from the largest dojo in the main realm.
Xu Chen sipped tea in the teahouse, gazing at the gate of the Taoist temple.
"I never imagined that the Great Dao of Time in this star field would be so complete."
Xu Chen only realized after arriving at this divine realm that the Dao of Time in this star field was several times stronger than that of the Dao of Time in the Star Sea.
This also makes it easier to cultivate the Great Dao of Time in this star field, especially the unorthodox path of divination and predicting the future.
"So that's how it is. Did those great clans and holy clans who relocated foresee a future scenario?"
Xu Chen thought to himself, a look of regret on his face.
"The Dao of Time is rich in profound meaning, but it's a pity that I can't comprehend too much of it, otherwise the Star Sea Domain will always dislike me."
Whenever Xu Chen returned to the Star Sea Domain from other star regions, he could clearly feel the Star Sea Domain's subtle rejection of him.
The feeling was even stronger after he comprehended the Dao principles of other star regions.
"Let's set up coordinates in this star field first, and see if we can devour it if we have the opportunity in the future."
After wandering around the Star God Clan, Xu Chen bought several treasure embryos that were associated with luck and time, and then returned to the Star Sea Domain.
Inside the Great Xu Cave, Xu Chen found the two Xus who were assisting him.
At this moment, the two Xus were refining a special treasure. After sensing Xu Chen's aura, they stopped.
"You came here specifically to see me?"
"Yes, I discovered in a star field that the Dao of Time is extremely rich there. Most importantly, there are many treasures related to the Dao of Time there, and their prices are relatively low."
"I was thinking of sending you to that star field to search for treasures and replenish the number of our human race's supreme treasures."
"That's easy, leave it to me." As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, Er Xu agreed.
He preferred to go out and search for treasure rather than spend his time tediously refining weapons in his cave.
"There may be powerful beings above the fourth realm in that star field. When you are searching for treasure, stay away from those gods."
"Keep a backup plan in mind, don't let those powerful people catch you," Xu Chen instructed.
"Don't worry, I have hundreds of millions of years of treasure hunting experience. I have countless ways to avoid these powerful figures. Would you like me to share my experience with you?" Er Xu said with a smile.
"No need, you know what to do."
After the two Xus made some preparations, Xu Chen opened the spatial portal and let them pass through.
"It seems I should go out more often when I have time."
After arranging this matter, Xu Chen went to the star field where Xu Daojing was located.
Upon arriving in this star field, Xu Chen immediately sensed the elusive and uncertain nature of human karma.
Having determined the direction, Xu Chen then used the Star Teleportation Technique.
A vast continent of the main world seemed to be searching for something, speeding through the star field.
Xu Daojing sat at the core of the main continent, controlling the direction.
"Why are you leading the human race forward like this?"
Xu Chen's voice rang out behind Xu Daojing, startling Xu Daojing so much that he quickly stood up and bowed to Xu Chen.
"Greetings, Father!"
"The Dao essence of this star field is extremely strange. These Dao essences will condense together and flow through the star field."
“Where the Dao gathers, the beings born there possess extraordinary talents.”
"In order to ensure that the descendants of the human race have good qualities, I have no other choice but to do this."
"Once there are more outstanding talents and experts among the human race, we will expand our territory to cover the entire star field where the Dao essence flows."
After listening to Xu Daojing's words, Xu Chen took a moment to process them.
Sure enough, that invisible Dao essence flowed chaotically through this starry sea.
Xu Chen's divine sense spread further and further, and he discovered that there were many such wandering Dao essences.
"A steady and methodical approach is fine, but do you know how vast this star field, where the Dao's essence flows, is?"
Because the Dao essence in this area flows chaotically, Xu Chen couldn't deduce how large a territory would be needed to cover them.
"It would be enough if the human territory were three times larger than when I arrived."
"I don't have enough strong fighters with me, so I can only train them slowly."
As Xu Daojing spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Xu Chen. Inside was a plan for the future development of the human race.
Xu Chen nodded after scanning the area with his divine sense.
"The star system under your elder brother's jurisdiction is a scene of fierce fighting."
"It's easier to cultivate in your second brother's star field. There are many powerful people there who can predict the future. Your second brother is living a peaceful life there."
"You're in this situation again, leading your entire clan in pursuit of destiny and development."
"Interesting. Such unique star systems are most likely to produce rare treasures."
"After Er Xu finishes searching for the treasure with your second brother, I'll have him come over here."
Just as Xu Chen finished watching Xu Daojing's side and was about to leave, the cluster of Dao fortune that Xu Daojing was pursuing suddenly materialized, transforming into a giant beast of the level above the Great Dao, which devoured Xu Chen.
"Ok?"
Just as Xu Chen was about to be devoured, a stellar power enveloped the main continent where Xu Daojing was located, causing it to suddenly disappear.
"Cuckoo?"
The behemoth discovered that the delicious dessert had vanished. After a fit of rage, it transformed back into the essence of the Great Dao and wandered through the star field. (End of Chapter)
