Chapter 729
The Special Chessboard
"Senior, your request is a bit excessive."
"The karmic connection between us cannot bear the weight of a coordinate in an undeveloped star field." Xu Chen lowered his eyes, suppressing his urge to complain.
I know~
A golden jade slip appeared and slowly floated towards Xu Chen.
Xu Chen scanned the area with his divine sense, and his expression turned strange.
"Senior, this fundamental divine technique requires ten thousand undeveloped star fields. Aren't you afraid...?"
The golden jade slip contained a unique primordial divine technique. Although Xu Chen could not learn it, he could understand the power of this primordial divine technique.
"This primordial divine technique is clearly a trap. How did you obtain it, senior?"
Upon hearing Xu Chen's question, the void distorted, and a woman with an exquisite face, dressed in a yellow robe, stepped out from the void.
Looking at his attire, a strange look flashed in Xu Chen's eyes.
"Senior, there's no need for you to transform into a human to talk to me."
The underlying meaning of this statement is that even if you become a human, I will not consider you a human.
"It's alright, my form changes depending on the living beings I encounter, you don't need to worry about it."
"As for this primordial divine art, I obtained it during that battle."
"I know there might be a trap inside, but..."
As the woman spoke, her eyes revealed endless longing.
"I have reached the end of my path to the Great Dao. According to the newly obtained information, I should be a strong person above the second realm of the Great Dao. If I do not have any other fortuitous encounters, I may stop here in this life."
"I am not reconciled, and this primordial divine spell has given me hope."
"I know that if I learn this fundamental divine art, I will only sink deeper and deeper into it."
"But so what?"
"I reached the end of the life cycle for most living beings long ago, and in this long river of time, the affairs of this world have become less and less of an interest to me."
"The only thing I can catch up with now is the Great Dao."
"I am not content to be confined to the second realm. I want to go to a higher place and experience the Great Dao realm of the third, fourth, or even higher realms."
"So what if I fall into this trap for this reason?" The woman's eyes were resolute.
"Senior, it's not just this problem." Xu Chen scratched his head helplessly.
"You contain the coordinates of our Star Sea region. If you are eaten, the coordinates will be leaked."
"At that time, all the powerful figures on the Great Dao of the entire Star Sea Region may have to pay the price for you, including my human race."
"So, I can't give you these coordinates, senior." Xu Chen's face showed a helpless expression.
He had many coordinates of the immature star sea, which he intended to leave for the human race.
The woman watched Xu Chen silently, her aura growing increasingly heavy.
"Senior, in the future, the Star Sea Domain will devour more and more star domains, and the Dao essence will also increase."
"The path of the Great Dao has no end. Perhaps a newly discovered Dao essence will be the opportunity for your breakthrough."
"The senior exists eternally in the Star Sea Domain. Time is nothing more than the passing of a long river of years for the senior."
Out of consideration for the fact that he had once protected the human race, Xu Chen offered a few sincere words of advice.
"You haven't experienced what it feels like to reach the end of the Great Way."
"You're dreaming. Do you think I don't know whether my path to the Great Dao has come to an end?" The woman smiled sadly and disappeared into the void.
Xu Chen stared at the direction the woman had disappeared in for a long time, then said with a headache, "I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."
"It seems that I not only need to find a way out for myself, but also for the human race."
With this thought in mind, Xu Chen directly took the teleportation array of the Great Stream Sect's main realm and arrived at the human race's main realm.
Inside the Nine Emperors Palace, Xu Chen summoned the Human Emperor and other high-ranking members of the human race.
"We will come into contact with more and more star regions in the future, but as the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you're bound to get your shoes wet."
"Therefore, I plan to develop the human race in those star regions where the myriad paths are not yet fully developed, so as to leave a way out."
As Xu Chen spoke, he waved his hand and released nine spatial gates, which then turned into spatial stones and fell into the hands of the Human Emperor.
Space Stone [Access to Other Star Systems]
The moment the Human Emperor received the nine space stones, this information appeared in his mind.
"This is a game."
"The Emperor's discerning eye~"
Xu Chen smiled slightly. In the past, although he could transform the spatial gate into mysterious power and attach it to living beings, it was not an easy task.
However, after he grasped the essence of that special game, he found it much easier to condense such power than before.
"Leave this matter to us. The human race is developing at an extremely fast pace, with more and more powerful individuals within the race, but the resources of the territories they occupy are indeed becoming increasingly scarce."
"It's perfect timing to let those veteran powerhouses open up new star domains." A smile appeared on the Human Emperor's face. Xu Chen's star domains just happened to solve the current predicament of the human race.
"it is good."
As Xu Chen spoke, he formed a hand seal, and a unique Dao of the Game merged into the Dream Dao Realm of the Human Race.
In an instant, all of humanity underwent a complete purification through the Dream Realm, erasing all the marks that Jiu Yuan had left on the human powerhouses.
At the same time, the entire human dream realm was thoroughly strengthened.
Inside the cave, Xu Chen looked at the setting sun in the distance, then opened another spatial portal and stepped inside.
Upon arriving in this unfamiliar star field, Xu Chen was immediately locked onto by a terrifying aura.
A giant claw covered in eyes reached out to grab Xu Chen.
After quickly sensing the laws of this star field, Xu Chen instantly returned to the Star Sea Field.
"The Great Dao of Beasts, the Great Dao of Nature, two special Great Daos." A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Chen's eyes, but then he got a headache.
The giant beast that attacked him was at least at the level of the Third Realm Great Dao. Although he managed to escape in that instant, a special mark was placed on his body.
This mark will be detected by the giant beast on the Great Dao of the Three Realms as long as it is in that star field.
"It seems we need to be more cautious when exploring new star systems in the future."
As Xu Chen spoke, he opened another spatial gate. Upon entering, he discovered that it was a newly formed star field, where only the most basic Yin-Yang Life Dao had been born.
The first life form in this star field is being conceived.
He carefully sensed the entire star field, trying to deduce its future development, but after some attempts, he found that he couldn't deduce it at all.
"It involves the chaos outside this star field, where the secrets of heaven are obscured, and the Great Dao of Time cannot be deduced."
"In that case..."
Xu Chen looked at the first life form being conceived in this star field, which was still an egg at the moment.
"It wouldn't hurt to take on a godson~"
Xu Chen formed a hand seal with one hand, and a trace of primordial power containing the essence of the Three Thousand Great Daos merged into the living being.
After doing all this, Xu Chen left this star field.
"Keep searching~"
Xu Chen opened another spatial gate and entered it, but as soon as he entered, he was transformed into the purest source by a power of rules and returned to this star field.
In Xu Chen's cave in the Star Sea Domain, a unique life force began to condense, and flesh and bones began to grow, quickly transforming into the appearance of Xu Chen.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes, a hint of fear flashing deep within them.
"Even I didn't realize it; they must be at least a third-level expert."
"Fortunately, all the innate treasures I carried were stored in my soul's origin, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss."
"Let's recover for a while and then continue the search."
That special life path, although it allowed Xu Chen to be resurrected by a powerful Dao expert above the third realm, still needed to slowly recover his original essence.
In a magnificent hall, a weakened Xu Chen played chess with Zun Hai.
"You're incredibly lucky to have escaped from a powerhouse at the third realm or higher."
Xu Chen's ability to explore other star regions is an open secret in Zun Hai, so he naturally brought it up.
"That moment of terror was too terrifying. If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, I might not be able to play chess with you anymore, brother," Xu Chen said with lingering fear.
"It seems that your search for star fields is like winning the lottery; it's very difficult to find a suitable one."
"But that's alright, take it slow. The longer we have, the more powerful figures we'll have on the Great Dao of the Star Sea Domain."
No sooner had Zun Hai finished speaking than a unique aura swept across the entire star sea.
"What a coincidence! Right after I finished speaking, a being advanced to the Great Dao through the most orthodox means. Shall we go and witness the ceremony?"
The Great Dao chess piece that Zun Hai had just condensed in his hand vanished into nothingness.
"Let's go take a look~"
"Then let's go."
Zun Hai brought Xu Chen to a certain star sea region.
A powerful figure with three heads and six arms, an eye between his brows, and an extremely intense and fiery aura emanating from his body is advancing on the path to the Great Dao.
A near-perfect Great Dao Body is being sublimated under the witness of the Star Sea Domain's will.
The myriad rivers flowed beneath the feet of that powerful being, radiating the most unique Dao.
Zun Hai and Xu Chen watched all of this from the sidelines.
"Although it is a traditional cultivation method to advance to the level of a Great Dao expert, the talent is still a bit weak. At most, it will only reach the level of a Great Dao expert, which is not very meaningful."
"Brother, if you put in a little more effort, you can kill him."
Zun Hai felt the unique aura of the Great Dao permeating this star field and couldn't help but shake his head.
“Brother, this powerful figure possesses the aura of racial destiny. Which divine race does he belong to?” Xu Chen asked.
"The Heavenly Eye God Clan is one of the two great god clans under the Nine Abyss. It is weaker than the Chaos God Clan. Including this one, there should be three experts above the Great Dao in the clan."
As Zunhai spoke, he used his divine sense to explore the surroundings.
"It's a pity that Jiuyuan didn't come. Otherwise, we could have had a good talk with him and made him prioritize the overall situation of the Star Sea Domain and settle your karma."
The matter of Xu Chen's karmic connection with Jiu Yuan was regarded by Zun Hai as one of the most important matters.
"Thank you for your trouble, elder brother."
As the Great Dao Body was fully sublimated, a terrifying aura emanated from the Heavenly Eye God Clan expert.
In an instant, the gaze of the Heavenly Eye God Clan expert locked onto Xu Chen.
"I originally intended to advance to become a powerful figure above the Great Dao and challenge you."
"I didn't expect you to be so weak. Well, consider yourself to have escaped a calamity."
The newly promoted Heavenly Eye Clan expert looked at Xu Chen with a dignified tone.
"?" Xu Chen looked puzzled.
"The blogger claims you have the combat power to kill a master above the Great Dao level, but I don't believe it!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen had a look of sudden realization.
“You have just advanced to the Great Dao realm and your cultivation level is not yet stable. Come find me again after you have adapted, and we can spar.”
After all, the powerful figure opposite him had the entire God Clan standing behind him, so Xu Chen spoke with a slightly more polite tone.
"Forget it, I only realized how big the gap was when I advanced to become a powerful being above the Great Dao."
"Perhaps the powerful expert on the Great Dao that you killed at that time was seriously injured."
"Now that your primordial energy is weak, I will not take advantage of your vulnerability." After saying this, the powerful Tianmu Clan member bowed to the powerful figures on the Great Dao who were watching the ceremony, and then disappeared into the void.
"This guy is a bit narcissistic..." Xu Chen was speechless.
"It is said that this person is quite favored by Jiu Yuan. Now it seems that it is purely because Jiu Yuan takes a liking to him, and has nothing to do with his own strength."
"It's boring. This is all the potential a great cultivator on the Great Dao can achieve."
"Let's go."
Zun Hai said he was going to take Xu Chen away.
At that moment, a terrifying aura descended not far from Xu Chen.
A figure hidden in the black flames watched Xu Chen silently.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, what brings you here on the path of advancing to the Great Dao?" Zun Hai looked at the dark figure, his words carrying a hint of respect.
Xu Chen performed the junior's greeting to the side, for the person in front of him was a powerful figure who could be ranked among the top in the Star Sea Domain.
“I’ve come to find him,” Black Flame’s voice was slightly hoarse.
"What can I do for you, senior?" Xu Chen asked.
"I have no intention of exploring your secrets, I just want you to do me a small favor."
A chessboard appeared in front of Xu Chen, with 36 intersections formed by six horizontal and six vertical lines.
"Help me collect 36 special Dao essences."
As Yan spoke, he waved his hand, and a Xuanhuang treasure embryo appeared in his hand.
"If you can collect it, this Xuanhuang Treasure Embryo will be your reward."
Xu Chen held the chessboard in his hand, staring in shock at the embryonic form of the Xuanhuang Treasure.
"What is the special Dao essence?" Xu Chen asked, pretending to ask at first.
"As long as you go to the new star field, this chessboard will light up, and it will contain unique Dao essence. Fill in the 36 points, and bring it back to me in exchange for this Xuanhuang treasure embryo."
"Okay~" Xu Chen nodded and accepted the chessboard.
At this moment, the eyes of many powerful figures on the Great Dao in the surrounding star sea were all turned to Xu Chen.
"Stop looking, there are no suitable star field coordinates." Zun Hai, who was next to Xu Chen, shouted, and the powerful figures on the surrounding Great Dao all withdrew their gazes.
Upon hearing Zun Hai's words, the many powerful figures on the Great Dao withdrew their gazes.
Human territory, Xu Chen's cave.
The three of them, Da Xu, Er Xu, and Xu Chen, were studying the chessboard.
"The power emanating from this chessboard is quite unique, falling somewhere between a top-tier treasure and a Xuanhuang treasure."
"Based on the divine inscriptions of the Great Dao within, I deduced that if the thirty-six special Dao essences were filled into it, it would become a powerful Xuanhuang treasure."
"It's a pity I can't comprehend the most core primordial divine script, otherwise I could have made a copy." Da Xu said regretfully, while glancing at Xu Chen.
"Stop hinting. I'll get it for you when I have time, but that takes too long. Let's wait until I advance to the Great Dao and settle everything." Xu Chen said, taking out a divine pill to restore his original essence and swallowing it. (End of Chapter)
