Chapter 726
The Embryo of the Profound Yellow Treasure
In less than a month, a batch of innate spiritual treasures that could store insights into the Great Dao were delivered.
"When you have nothing to do, you can study the Great Dao of Life in this Star Sea to your heart's content. The more you comprehend the Great Dao, the stronger its power will be."
Xu Chen handed a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Great Dao Pearl, to Xu Daojing.
"My father's skill in weapon crafting is unparalleled in all the star regions."
Xu Daojing felt excited as he experienced the power of the spirit pearl in his hand.
"There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. My skill in weapon crafting is barely passable," Xu Chen laughed.
"Alright, I will now stay here to comprehend the Great Dao of Life, while you continue to expand the power of the human race."
Xu Chen entered a state of seclusion, carefully sensing the Dao image he was pursuing.
Millions of years passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Chen gained another glimpse into the unique Dao of Life, and the light band representing the Dao of Life in the Holy White Space solidified even more.
"It seems I won't be idle for the next 30 billion years. With so many star system coordinates in my hands, I should travel around more."
Just as Xu Chen was about to continue his comprehension, a message came from the Star Sea Domain.
"We have the results!" Xu Chen's eyes lit up.
Upon returning to the Star Sea Domain, Xu Chen immediately sensed a vast, unique, and unfamiliar Dao essence. This Dao essence formed its own system and complemented the Dao essence that existed in the Star Sea Domain before.
"This is just the beginning of the process of consuming."
Inside a magnificent temple, Zun Hai had one arm and both legs severed, and a bowl-sized piercing wound ran from his chest to his back.
Upon seeing this, Xu Chen gasped.
The injuries on the main body confirmed the injuries on the Great Dao Body behind it, and the intensity of this battle could be seen from the injuries alone.
"Brother, healing is important." After rummaging through his spatial treasures, Xu Chen took out several divine-grade pills that could help restore his injuries.
Zun Hai didn't stand on ceremony and took it directly into his mouth.
"Ninety-four experts above the Great Dao were lost in this battle, but the result was good. We finally killed all the experts above the Great Dao in that Star Sea region."
“The Star Sea Domain is now slowly devouring that star domain.” Zun Hai grinned and waved his hand, setting up a chessboard.
"Two of my five brothers also perished, but their true spirits have already been nurtured in the long river of myriad paths, and I believe they will be resurrected in no time."
"This battle was the most exhilarating one I fought since I entered the realm of the Great Dao."
"Starfields are obliterated, all paths cease to exist, the Great Dao and divine arts cause all stars to collapse and perish."
A top-tier spatial treasure appeared in Zun Hai's hands.
"These are spoils of war; there's a share for you." Zun Hai gestured for Xu Chen to accept them.
"Big brother, there's a share of the spoils too..." Xu Chen knew that Zun Hai must have secured this share for him.
"Take them. They are things that powerful figures on the Great Dao would not value, but they can still be of some use to the development of your human race."
"Not only that, there are also many original divine techniques of the powerful beings on the Great Dao of that star field inside. Although you can't comprehend them with your current level, they will be useful when you advance to the Great Dao."
"No need for thanks. These millennia of battles have left me physically and mentally exhausted. I need to play some chess to relax."
"Once the Star Sea completely devours that star field, it will bestow blessings."
"Spend this time playing chess with me." Zunhai transformed the Great Dao of Life into chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.
"Then I should spend some time with my older brother."
Xu Chen also condensed a Great Dao chess piece in his hand and placed it on the chessboard.
Inside Xu Chen's cave, an avatar emerged from the void, radiating the essence of alchemy.
From the private treasury, the most precious treasures that could be refined to heal injuries were taken out one by one to be used to refine divine-grade pills.
The two sides played a game of chess that lasted for millions of years.
During this period, Zun Hai managed to recover from all his injuries thanks to the recovery pills that Xu Chen refined every now and then.
"Brother, your alchemy skills are quite impressive!"
Zun Hai felt that he had recovered to his peak condition and couldn't help but sigh that ordinary divine-grade pills were no longer of much help to the strong on the Great Dao.
However, the recovery pills that Xu Chen gave him every now and then did indeed help his injuries heal quickly.
Injuries that would normally take tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to heal have been reduced to a million years.
"If you need any medicine in the future, please just let me know."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Just then, the originally dark and silent star sea was suddenly covered by countless colorful illusory rivers.
One after another, beams of seven-colored light, mixed with endless blessing power, flew out from the Star Sea Domain and entered the bodies of the powerful figures on the Great Dao who participated in the battle, as well as Xu Chen.
The power of blessing was immense. After entering Xu Chen's body, it paused for a while, as if exploring what Xu Chen needed most at that moment.
At this moment, Xu Chen was also thinking about what he needed. After some deduction, he decided to ask for a Xuanhuang Treasure Embryo.
As if sensing Xu Chen's thoughts, the blessing power within its body began to condense, eventually transforming into a colorful egg, within which was nurturing the embryo of the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.
However, it will take at least trillions of years for this Xuanhuang treasure embryo to hatch.
"Trillions of years~"
My initial excitement quickly faded.
On the other side of the chessboard, Zun Hai exuded an unfamiliar Daoist aura, and his aura began to gradually rise.
A thousand years later, Zun Hai's aura finally stabilized.
"It turns out that I was the strongest in the second realm. After receiving the blessing, I have reached the peak of the second realm. I estimate that after cultivating for a while, I will be able to break through to the third realm."
Zun Hai said, glancing at Xu Chen.
"Brother, what do you want?"
"A supreme treasure embryo was given to us, but all we got was an egg that won't hatch for trillions of years," Xu Chen said with a sneer.
"This time is neither long nor short. Since it is a blessing, it must have been born according to your wishes. Let it be kept slowly."
"If you want the Xuanhuang Treasure, I'll get you one when I have the chance," Zun Hai said meaningfully, patting Xu Chen on the shoulder.
"Brother, you six brothers have done a great job on the battlefield, and you were the organizer. Didn't you get a Xuanhuang treasure?" Xu Chen asked.
While playing chess, the two players kept talking about the details of the big battle, and Xu Chen was so engrossed that he didn't notice anything else.
Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, Zun Hai's lips curled up.
"I took one, but it was more suitable for Lao Liu, so I gave it to him."
“His injuries should be almost healed now, I’ll call him over.”
Zun Hai then sent a message to Lao Liu.
A moment later, a terrifying aura descended upon the temple.
A giant man covered in purple divine runes bowed to Zun Hai.
"Big brother!"
"Your injuries have healed quite well. Take out your Xuanhuang Treasure and let us brothers take a look!" Zun Hai said with a smile.
A giant hammer with a long handle appeared in the temple, emanating a unique aura of killing intent, which startled Xu Chen.
The giant hammer slowly floated in front of Xu Chen, seemingly ready to be touched. "A supreme treasure of the Xuanhuang type, perfect for Sixth Brother."
Xu Chen placed one hand on the giant hammer, carefully sensing the divine runes of the Great Dao and the most core primordial divine runes within it.
"Go ahead and do your research. I'll give you 30 million years." The powerful figure on the Great Dao, known as Old Six, chuckled.
"Most of the powerful figures on the Great Dao in the Star Sea Domain are injured and are healing."
"Furthermore, the will of the Star Sea Domain has also imposed restrictions, preventing powerful beings on the Great Dao from fighting each other."
"Sixth Brother, aren't you afraid I'll run away with this?" Xu Chen chuckled.
“You’re rooted here, you can’t run away. Besides, it’s just a Xuanhuang Treasure. As our strength grows, we can get you not only one, but even ten Xuanhuang Treasures in the future.”
"Sixth Brother is so generous."
Xu Chen smiled and put away the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure Hammer.
"Alright, the blessing is finished."
"Brother, you have something to do."
"It will take about 10 billion years for the resurrected experts on the Great Dao to recover to their peak state. The other experts will also be able to comprehend the newly acquired Dao essence to enhance their strength."
"If it's suitable later, I'll provide another set of coordinates."
Zun Hai spoke his mind frankly and openly.
"Okay, let me see if I can get another star system coordinate."
Xu Chen took his leave and returned to the Great Stream Sect's main realm.
First, they arrived at the Great Xu Cave and revealed the Xuanhuang Treasure.
"A supreme treasure of the Xuanhuang type, perfect for killing and destruction! A rare find!"
"How long can I study it?" Da Xu asked, stroking the magnificent Xuanhuang hammer.
"Thirty million years."
"There's enough time."
As Xu Chen spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and a top-tier innate treasure appeared in front of him.
Xu Chen felt the power of this treasure, and his eyebrows couldn't help but rise.
"Did you copy this from that Mirror of All Things?"
"Yes, it can consume the Great Dao Divine Source to copy innate spiritual treasures and magical artifacts. However, the copied ones are only barely at the level of innate spiritual treasures. They can just be used to copy the standard equipment and pills of the human army."
"However, such methods are somewhat heaven-defying. This top-tier Xuanhuang treasure is restricted and can only be used for hundreds of millions of years. After it is used up, if it is refined again, it can only be a copy of a post-natal spiritual treasure," Da Xu explained.
"The will of this star sea region will also patch things up."
"A hundred million years is enough time to allow all the Golden Immortal level and above of the human race to possess a set of innate spiritual treasures."
Although the star sea occupied by the human race is incredibly rich in resources, it is not enough for all the powerful beings at the Golden Immortal level and above to possess innate spiritual treasures.
"If one can thoroughly comprehend the primordial divine runes within this Xuanhuang treasure, the power of the innate supreme treasures of the killing type that one refines afterward should far exceed that of the original treasure."
Seeing that Da Xu was already engrossed in the story, Xu Chen quietly left.
Inside Xu Chen's cave.
Xu Qiangjia and Wei Miaoqiu emerged from the void.
“Those three brothers have been away in other star systems for a while now. Let’s call them back for a reunion dinner.”
Looking at Xu Chen and his two daughters-in-law, Wei Miaoqiu suddenly missed her grandson.
"also."
Xu Chen waved his hand and opened three teleportation portals, from which the three brothers walked out.
"Greetings to Grandpa, Grandma, Father, and Mother!" Xu Qinhu and two other people bowed.
"Get up. You must be very busy over there. You look so tired." Wei Miaoqiu said with some concern.
"Looking weathered is good, it means you have something to do~" Xu Qiangjia said with a hint of envy.
The family gathered around a large table to enjoy a feast of culinary delights from various ethnic groups, each sharing their recent experiences.
"Chen'er, are there any human star regions on your side that need saving? My old body wants to get some exercise too."
Xu Qiangjia looked at Xu Chen expectantly.
"Yes, but once you leave the human territory, your cultivation will drop to the Great Venerable realm. I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to go there."
"Father, if you really want to go, create an avatar and leave your main body in the human race," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.
“That works too,” Xu Qiangjia said excitedly.
After the family finished eating, Xu Chen helped Xu Qiangjia condense a clone, and then dispatched a large number of Saint Venerables and Invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts from the Daxi Sect.
Before leaving, he also handed over Chenwei Hall to Xu Qiangjia.
"Dad, that place isn't our Star Sea Region after all. We should try to avoid those gods when developing our territory, and when expanding our territory, we should also try to find out more about it. If the Holy Race has a god background, then forget about it."
"Don't worry, I know that perfectly well."
"Your father was once the Marshal of an army of 80 million vanguard troops." Xu Qiangjia revealed a smug expression.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen laughed and waved his hand to open the portal.
In an instant, the numerous powerful human beings gathered in the Star Sea transformed into a torrent and flew into that teleportation portal.
"It's time to continue comprehending the Great Dao."
Xu Chen sent his three brothers back to their respective star regions.
A vast continent of the main realm was moving forward in the star field, following the direction of the Dao essence. Xu Chen was comprehending the special Dao of Life within this Dao essence.
The Great Dao is eternal. In the blink of an eye, Xu Chen has comprehended it for another thirty million years. He has already grasped forty percent of that special Dao of Life.
Xu Chen wanted to continue his comprehension, but it seemed as if he was being restricted by something in the dark.
"Is it restricted by the will of this star field, or...?" Xu Chen thought to himself, and his will entered the Holy White Space.
A ten-zhang-long green light band floated in the sky above the holy white space, exuding a unique Dao essence of life.
"With my current control over the Dao of Life, even Jiu Yuan cannot completely annihilate me."
"As long as I have left my aura in any star field, I can be resurrected by using this trace of aura through the Great Dao of Life."
"His strength hasn't increased much, but his health bar has gotten thicker."
Xu Chen left the pass and returned to the human territory.
Inside the Great Xu Cave, the world's top-tier innate treasures of slaughter appeared before Xu Chen, each sword strike radiating power far exceeding that of ordinary top-tier innate treasures.
"Give me the Blade of Time, and I'll refine it for you."
“These top-tier innate treasures of the killing and destruction category are already capable of harming powerful beings above the Great Dao. It’s a pity that high-grade innate treasure embryos of the killing and destruction category are hard to find. Otherwise, with an army of 100,000 invincible Saint Venerable Realm puppets equipped with such innate treasures, they might be able to kill powerful beings above the Great Dao,” Da Xu said.
"If we had 10 invincible Saint Venerable Realm puppets paired with such an innate treasure, killing a powerhouse above the Great Dao Realm should be no problem."
As Xu Chen spoke, he waved his hand and took five of the items, then took the Xuanhuang Treasure.
Since it's a loan, you should at least give them something in return when they return it. (End of Chapter)
