Chapter 727
The Oath of Chaos
In the magnificent temple, Xu Chen returned the Xuanhuang treasure to Zun Hai and also presented him with five top-tier innate treasures for killing.
"Don't be so formal. If your sixth brother sees these five innate treasures, he probably won't be willing to help you anymore." Zun Hai glanced at the five innate treasures, his expression somewhat displeased.
"Brother, I obtained something valuable from Sixth Brother's Xuanhuang Treasure. I used it to refine a Primordial Treasure, so it's only right that I express my gratitude."
"I want Sixth Brother to see that I didn't borrow this Xuanhuang Treasure for nothing. Even if Sixth Brother doesn't need these treasures I've refined, your brothers below can use them."
Xu Chen waved his hand and grasped a supreme innate treasure battle blade, gently waving it and cutting open one void rift after another in the void.
"This innate treasure of the killing type is far more powerful than other top treasures, and it was made from the embryo of a high-grade innate treasure of the killing type."
"If you need anything in the future, just provide a high-grade innate treasure embryo of the killing type, and I can help you refine it into a top-tier innate treasure of the killing type," Xu Chen promised.
"Now that you've done this, the six of us brothers should thank you instead." Zun Hai laughed and waved to take out the chessboard.
"Since you're here, let's play a game first and see if your chess skills have improved!"
"Respect is not as good as obedience."
The two chatted while playing chess, discussing recent events in the Star Sea region.
"The powerful figures who fell on the Great Dao have been resurrected one after another. They have been blessed by the will of the Star Sea Domain and their injuries are recovering faster than expected. It is estimated that in another 3000 million years, all the powerful figures on the Great Dao will be able to recover to their peak condition."
"After digesting the newly added Dao essence, it will take at most 5000 million years."
Zunhai condensed a Death Dao chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, as if they were having a casual chat.
"I have found the coordinates of a star field, but the strongest person in that star field is quite powerful, at least a fourth-level expert. Even if all the experts on the Great Dao of our Star Sea Region joined forces, they would probably have a hard time defeating him."
Xu Chen condensed a Reincarnation Chess Piece in his hand and placed it on the chessboard.
"Brother, don't worry. Tell them I'm looking for a suitable star system. If I find one, I'll definitely tell them."
Xu Chen had seriously considered his relationship with the powerful figures on the Great Dao of the Star Sea Domain, and concluded that their interests were essentially aligned.
By continuously providing them with new star system coordinates, they can become stronger, the Star Sea can become stronger, and thus humanity can also become stronger.
As long as he continues to provide the coordinates of the star field, he will be the most important core of the entire star field.
By then, even if Jiu Yuan wanted to take action against him, he would probably have to consider whether he could handle the powerful figures on the Great Dao of the entire Star Sea Domain.
"That's good, I'll tell them."
"Although they are all powerful beings on the Great Dao, the gap between their realms is still enormous."
"The experts above the Third Realm are already terrifying enough, but the combat power of the Fourth Realm, which is above the Third Realm, is simply unimaginable."
Zun Hai recalled that battle, when he and his six brothers besieged a powerful expert at the Third Realm Great Dao and were almost wiped out. That battle even nearly sank that star field. If it weren't for a powerful expert at the Third Realm Great Dao from the Star Sea Domain coming to their aid, the six brothers might have just been resurrected not long ago.
“Once you find the right coordinates next time, I will definitely try to get you a Xuanhuang Treasure!” Zun Hai said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, elder brother." Xu Chen did not refuse; the Xuanhuang Treasure was currently the most attractive item to him.
Outside the temple, five terrifying auras descended, and the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth elders, all powerful figures above the Great Dao, entered the temple.
“When I went back last time, I thought about it. Since you’ve already called me Sixth Brother, how about I have my eldest brother acknowledge you as my seventh brother?” Sixth Brother said to Xu Chen with a smile.
The other powerful figures on the Great Dao also agreed, in their eyes, Xu Chen was already a brother in their camp.
"It is my honor to be called Seventh Brother by all my brothers," Xu Chen said with a smile.
"Big brother!" "Seventh brother!"
"Second Brother!"...
Xu Chen addressed Zun Hai and his brothers one by one, from eldest brother to sixth brother, thus formally acknowledging them as his brothers.
Six top-grade spatial treasures appeared before Xu Chen.
"We can't let you call us 'brother' for nothing. These are a token of our appreciation from us older brothers. Please accept them."
"You may not need it, but you can bestow it upon your descendants among the human race."
Xu Chen scanned the six spatial treasures with his divine sense; the spiritual treasures, spiritual objects, and divine sources within them were almost piled up like mountains.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, little brother." Xu Chen hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise during his visit.
The seven brothers sat around a table, where Xu Chen brought out a table full of dishes featuring exotic delicacies from a divine race.
"Recognizing you as our younger brother is a bargain for us."
“Your future achievements will definitely be no less than ours, and with such great opportunities to help you, when you reach the peak, we brothers may need your help.” Zun Hai raised his glass and looked at Xu Chen with sincere eyes.
Xu Chen looked at Zun Hai and felt a little emotional. His older brother was all about sincerity; he said what he meant and never harbored any ulterior motives.
"Brother, if I hadn't met you back then, I might still be a minor invincible saint, wondering how to escape my fate of being a lowly servant."
"Destiny and cause are predetermined in this lifetime; every bite and sip is destined."
"I'm sure you know about my life from the human race. My hatred is a hundredfold, but my kindness is a thousandfold."
After Xu Chen finished speaking, the other powerful figures on the Great Dao also raised their wine cups.
The seven wine glasses clinked together with a crisp sound, like an echo of fate.
After downing the wine in their cups, Zun Hai and the other powerful figures on the Great Dao let out hearty laughter.
"Seventh brother, you're just the way I like you!"
The banquet further strengthened the relationship between Xu Chen and the other five powerful figures on the Great Dao.
Within the human realm, after returning, Xu Chen gave some instructions and finally opened a spatial gate to the star field where Xu Xuanshen was located.
In the Dreamland Starfield, the human race occupies a vast territory. In the core area, where resources are most abundant, lies a main continent that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Xu Chen's figure flew out from the void and landed on this continent.
Inside a cave dwelling built specifically for Xu Chen, Xu Xuanshen and a group of powerful human beings greeted him outside.
“Father, you told me you were coming, and you specially completed the construction of your cave dwelling as quickly as possible.”
Xu Xuanshen looked at Xu Chen with delight. Recently, the human race had developed too rapidly, which had attracted the attention of some gods. If his father was in charge here, he wouldn't have to worry about this matter.
"Have you provoked the gods?" Xu Chen frowned slightly. As soon as he arrived, he sensed that the cause and effect of the human race in this star field involved the gods and the powerful figures behind them on the Great Dao several times.
“Father, we couldn’t control it for a moment, and it developed too fast, so the gods noticed it.” Xu Xuanshen lowered his head.
"It's a bit troublesome, but not too much."
"The human race's territory will expand to this point. The rest is about consolidating our internal strength. I will find a way to eliminate the karmic consequences of this divine skill," Xu Chen said after mentally calculating.
"Thank you for your trouble, Father."
"If you didn't want me to worry about this, you should have told me sooner."
Xu Chen waved for everyone to leave, and then began to participate in the karma of the human race in this star field, using the principle of causality and time.
Upon entering, Xu Chen sensed a trace of the divine thought of a powerful being on the Great Dao. Sealing it would be easy for him, but the difficulty lay in preventing that powerful being from noticing. "This is a bit tricky."
Xu Chen focused on that wisp of divine thought from a powerful being on the Great Dao.
"Looks like I'll have to use the Great Immortal's Words technique~" Thinking of this, Xu Chen's expression became somewhat hesitant.
After advancing to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, I have come to understand the essence of the Great Immortal's Words Technique.
Therefore, Xu Chen rarely uses the Great Immortal's Word Technique now, because the origin of the Great Immortal's Word Technique is connected to the Nine Abyss.
As long as he uses it, Jiuyuan can sense it even if it crosses star fields.
Moreover, after Xu Chen traveled through several star fields, he understood the essential power of the Great Immortal's Words Technique, a power that even Jiu Yuan, a powerful expert above the Third Realm Great Dao, could not deduce with his own Great Dao.
Therefore, based on the timeline, Xu Chen deduced that this great immortal's speech technique was very likely from that powerful alien who had entered the Star Sea Domain a long time ago.
"Let's hold off for now and use the principle of cause and effect to reduce the presence of the human race."
"We'll use it if, in the end, a powerful being on the Great Dao really makes a move against the human race."
Xu Chen formed a hand seal, and a mysterious and powerful force of cause and effect was mixed into the cause and effect of the human race.
Xu Xuanshen also received Xu Chen's message, ordering the entire human race to seal off their territory for 3 million years.
"Once I comprehend the special Dao of Time in this star field, I will find a way to find a star field with a special Dao of Cause and Effect. When the two are combined, I will be able to silently block out this wisp of divine thought."
After reducing the sense of causality of the entire human race, Xu Chen began to comprehend the special time Dao of this star field.
However, after only a million years of meditation in the cave, Xu Chen left to search for the Time Secret Realm in this star field.
Within the human realm, although the Dao of Time was abundant, Xu Chen could not sense that special Dao of Time.
In a perilous place where time was chaotic, Xu Chen stepped into it without hesitation.
The chaotic time caused Xu Chen's figure to constantly change, but no matter how it changed, the time chaos only affected his past and could not show the future.
Xu Chen's cultivation level also fluctuated.
Sometimes he was at the Earth Immortal Realm, sometimes at the Great Luo Realm, sometimes at the Saint Venerable Realm, and sometimes at the Qi and Blood Realm. Amidst these changes, Xu Chen sensed the special Dao essence of time that he needed.
"found it!"
Just as Xu Chen was about to comprehend it, a terrifying power of the Great Dao pulled him into an unknown space.
A towering giant, seemingly drawn from blue light, was staring at Xu Chen.
Sensing the terrifying aura of the blue giant, Xu Chen did not resist, but instead bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, senior." Xu Chen's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Stay here. Within this cycle of reincarnation, you will be forever trapped." A somber voice echoed in this peculiar space.
“Senior, you can’t stop me. I can leave at any time, even if I’m trapped in this time prison.”
As Xu Chen spoke, he opened a small portal.
Upon sensing the presence of the portal, the blue giant's eyes showed surprise.
"I can't see your future, and the cage of time can't hold you back."
"In this way, the cause and effect of your alien human race's intrusion into my star field can be considered settled."
"Take your people and leave. Our star system does not welcome alien beings," the blue giant said.
"Senior, you cannot foresee my future. How about we form a virtuous bond instead?"
"Let my people develop in this star field. I swear by Chaos that, apart from the first batch of humans to come to this star field, I will not send any other people from other realms here." Xu Chen looked up at the blue giant.
The blue giant looked down at Xu Chen, as if he were making a deduction.
"You must swear by the will of chaos that you will never invade my star field, and that the human race in this star field will never be allowed to advance to the god race."
"If a powerful expert at the Great Dao appears among the human race in this star region, you must bring him back to your own star region."
Xu Chen nodded slightly upon hearing the blue giant's terms.
"Okay, I appreciate the goodwill shown earlier."
Xu Chen immediately swore an oath with his chaotic will, agreeing to the blue giant's conditions.
A powerful force of the Great Dao sent Xu Chen back to the perilous situation of the Great Dao of Time he had just been in.
Xu Chen comprehended the Great Dao of Time for 60,000 years amidst the perilous realm of the Great Dao of Time, pushing that special trace of the Great Dao of Time to its limit.
Another gray and white light band appeared in the Holy White Space, intertwining and dancing with the light band of the Great Path of Life.
Xu Chen emerged from seclusion and returned to the human continent of this star field.
“The karma between humans and gods has been resolved, and things can proceed normally from now on, but we still need to avoid the gods,” Xu Chen said to Xu Xuanshen.
"Yes, Father. I will definitely make steady progress from now on." Xu Xuan looked at Xu Chen with respect. The powerful beings on the Great Dao had all their karma resolved.
Although his father had once killed a powerful figure on the Great Dao, he knew that there were differences between powerful figures on the Great Dao.
The powerful beings on the path of the gods are far stronger than the one his father killed.
"I'm going back now."
Xu Chen strode up to Xu Xuanshen, patted Xu Xuanshen's shoulder, and sealed a special spatial gate power into his body.
"If you want to go home, or if other powerful individuals want to go back and visit, you can open the spatial portal yourself."
Feeling the mysterious power of the spatial gate within his body, Xu Xuanshen nodded heavily.
Upon arriving in the Quxuan Starfield, Xu Chen immediately sensed the burning karma of the human race within this starfield.
Following the direction of cause and effect, Xu Chen took a step forward and arrived at the outer edge of a battlefield.
At this time, almost all the powerful human race members joined the battle, fighting alongside the alliance formed by the Holy Race.
A giant golden tortoise stood at the very heart of the battlefield, holding off the attacks of more than a dozen invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts.
A flash of anger crossed Xu Chen's eyes.
In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to be frozen in time. All the powerful members of the alien alliance were frozen in time, and finally turned into dust and disappeared in this time.
"Holy Lord!"
You Sanqian seemed to have been greatly wronged, and came to Xu Chen and bowed deeply.
"My Lord, humanity was developing just fine, without provoking them, yet they formed a coalition to invade us!" (End of Chapter)
