Chapter 732
Zhang Zhisheng
"As long as the subsequent cultivation techniques and understanding of the Great Dao are up to par, one can directly cultivate to the Great Venerable Realm."
"Afterwards, when you comprehend the Great Dao, you can also use this primordial energy to accelerate your understanding, and the speed will be no less than that of cultivating in the Origin Heart Dao Field."
Xu Chen experimented with this wisp of primordial energy thousands of times among humans. The most extreme instance was when he injected this wisp of primordial energy into the body of a prodigy from a small town.
That prodigy advanced directly from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Great Venerable Realm. Although he was unable to break through to the Saint Venerable Realm, that trace of primordial power had already transformed into the primordial Dao Foundation within his body.
In Xu Chen's eyes, that prodigy could only reach the threshold of the Saint Venerable Realm at most in his entire life, but with the support of this trace of primordial power, he might even be able to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm in the future.
"What a good thing! It's just a pity that it won't help you advance from the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm to the Great Dao."
Xu Chen carefully sensed the primordial power stored in his dantian.
“The primordial energy that is even stronger than the Great Dao Divine Source should have a matching name.” As Xu Chen spoke, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he thought of the primordial divine script he had comprehended from the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.
"Otherwise, it would be called Xuanhuang spiritual energy."
Xu Chen used the Great Dao of the Game to seal the Xuanhuang spiritual energy in a special seal and then threw it into the Source Heart Dojo.
"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll go and gather more Xuanhuang spiritual energy."
As Xu Chen spoke, his true form flew directly into the chaos.
In the vast chaos, Xu Chen, relying on his special ability to devour and sustain life, displayed remarkable strength.
Upon encountering hordes of otherworldly demons, he would simply wave his hand and devour them, transforming them into the purest primordial and yellow spiritual energy.
According to Xu Chen's speculation, if a Saint Venerable Realm demon is transformed into Xuanhuang spiritual energy, it can give the human race an additional Great Venerable powerhouse.
The Xuanhuang spiritual energy transformed from an invincible Saint Venerable Realm demon can give humanity an additional Saint Venerable powerhouse.
So what seemed like troublesome demons before now appeared extremely cute in Xu Chen's eyes, like a mortal seeing gold.
As if driven by something, the fifty thousand Saintly Demons flew towards the Star Sea Domain in the chaos.
Sensing the sheer number of alien demons, Xu Chen felt as if he had discovered a gold mine. A giant hand formed from the power of devouring appeared in the chaos and directly slammed down the fifty thousand Saint Venerable alien demons.
Before the Holy Venerable Demon could react, it was swallowed by the giant hand and transformed into the purest chaotic power.
"Not bad~"
The power of chaos merged with the special power of the Great Dao of Life, transforming into Xuanhuang spiritual energy, restoring Xu Chen's original essence to its original state.
Just as Xu Chen continued his search, four terrifying auras sealed off the area where Xu Chen was located.
Four invincible, peak-level Saint Venerable demons appeared in the chaos, looking at Xu Chen with probing eyes.
Xu Chen sensed that although these four demonic beings were only at the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, their combat power could be said to be comparable to that of experts above the Great Dao.
A battle blade appeared in Xu Chen's hand, its blade gleaming with terrifying devouring power.
"Since the four of you also seem to possess intelligence, are you able to communicate?" Xu Chen asked tentatively.
"The malignant tumor of chaos deserves to die!"
The voice seemed to come from the abyss, carrying the most extreme malice.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen simply swung his single-edged sword lightly, slashing down at the nearest demon below.
Xu Chen's concept of good and evil only applies to his own race. As for other races, or even the chaotic beings who are even more expansive than other races, there is no concept of good and evil, only a matter of perspective.
To those with differing stances, annihilation is the highest form of respect.
The terrifying blade light, mixed with devouring power, slashed towards the invincible Saint Venerable Realm demon.
But the demon merely smiled contemptuously, conjuring a giant shield in its hand.
The blade struck the giant shield, seemingly disintegrating it and transforming into primal power that merged into the shield.
The chaotic energy surrounding Xu Chen transformed into a gaping maw of abyss, devouring him.
A giant blade crackling with lightning cleaved the abyssal maw in two.
A battle blade interwoven with lightning and the Dao of Life transformed into a colossal blade spanning millions of miles, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
The chaos receded where it was slashed, and then the power of devouring sealed it off.
The four invincible Saint Venerable Realm demons were shattered by that one strike, and then their forms condensed again in the void.
"A cancerous tumor, it actually thinks it can defeat me in the chaos, what a pity."
A hoarse, mocking voice echoed through the chaos.
The surrounding chaos that had been dispersed condensed outside that special devouring power, directly crushing the sealing power condensed by the devouring power.
Just as the endless chaos was about to engulf Xu Chen, a deep sigh echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
"You four are really hard to deal with~"
A powerful aura of primordial energy emanated from Xu Chen.
Xu Chen's true form manifested in this chaotic realm.
"If this is all you've got, then obediently transform into Xuanhuang spiritual energy~"
A terrifying devouring force directly combined the four invincible Saint Venerable Realm demons together.
Xu Chen, with his Great Dao Body, held the four demonic creatures in his palm as if they were tiny cubs, and presented them to him.
"You are very strong, but you are only relying on Chaos' home field advantage."
The four demonic creatures melted away like ice and snow, and were devoured and absorbed by Xu Chen's Great Dao Body.
Then a surge of powerful Xuanhuang spiritual energy spread throughout Xu Chen's body.
"These four alone are equivalent to 200,000 Saint Venerable Realm Demons. I hope we can get more."
In his final moments, Xu Chen frantically swept through the surrounding chaos, and almost none of the demons he encountered could escape his clutches.
The Protoss army guarding the border of the Star Sea also had a much easier time because of Xu Chen.
Human territory, the Source Heart Dojo.
Another terrifying aura of invincible Saint Venerable Realm emanated from the Source Heart Dojo.
The newly promoted invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert of the human race walked out of the Source Heart Dojo and turned to bow three times and kowtow nine times in the direction of the Great Stream Sect's main realm.
"I heard that a new primordial energy, even more terrifying than the Great Dao Divine Source, has appeared in the Yuanxin Dojo, and it has been named Xuanhuang Spiritual Energy by the Holy Lord."
"Even if an ordinary person has average talent, as long as they absorb a trace of Xuanhuang spiritual energy, they have a chance to advance to the Great Venerable Realm."
“When a Saint Venerable Realm expert absorbs Xuanhuang spiritual energy, even if their path to the Great Dao comes to an end, they can forcefully open up a new path to the Great Dao and advance to the invincible Saint Venerable Realm.”
"Since the Xuanhuang spiritual energy was absorbed and injected into the Yuanxin Daoist Temple, almost every few days, a human powerhouse has advanced to the Invincible Saint Venerable realm."
"Even more people are advancing from the Great Venerable Realm to the Saint Venerable Realm, with nearly a hundred people advancing every day."
Outside the Yuanxin Dojo were rows of temples for relaxation. In one temple dedicated to tea tasting, many powerful human warriors were chatting excitedly as they listened to news from various human regions.
Those present were also beneficiaries.
"At this rate, it won't take hundreds of millions of years for our human race's mid-level powerhouses to surpass those of the gods!" A human Saint Venerable Realm powerhouse exuding a profound aura excitedly told his friend beside him.
“That’s inevitable,” said the Saint Venerable Realm expert beside him, suddenly beckoning to the others.
Several human Saint Venerables gathered together, and the one who had waved earlier whispered, "According to messages from my other friends, the development of our human race is no longer limited to this planet's sea area."
"These aren't star regions we're deliberately helping; they're star regions that belong exclusively to the main lineage of our human race." "It's said that they're developing rapidly there and are already starting to run out of manpower."
"A while ago, a celestial official contacted me, wanting me to come over, and set conditions. I almost couldn't resist." The Saint Venerable Realm expert said with a mysterious expression.
"What conditions could make you lose control?"
The other holy beings were extremely curious.
"A set of innate supreme treasures: defense, offense, life, space, and flying boat—a total of five innate supreme treasures!"
The expressions on the faces of those holy beings instantly turned to astonishment.
"Then why didn't you go in the end?"
The Holy Venerable's face showed a smug expression.
"Since I am at the Saintly Venerable Realm, I can only follow the main force."
"I want to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, and then lead a team to open up a star field."
Just as the human race's Holy Venerables were speaking, another Great Venerable Realm expert advanced to the Holy Venerable Realm.
The void above the Yuanxin Dojo trembled, and an incomparably powerful stream of Xuanhuang spiritual energy once again poured into the Yuanxin Dojo.
This immediately attracted the attention of the powerful human warriors in the vicinity.
At that moment, a spatial rift opened beside the massive Xuanhuang spiritual energy, and Xu Chen stepped out from it.
He came back this time to see what kind of effect the Xuanhuang spiritual energy combined with the Yuanxin Dojo would produce.
"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
In an instant, the plaza outside the Yuanxin Dojo was packed with human powerhouses who either wanted to continue cultivating or had already finished their cultivation.
"Get up~"
Xu Chen's divine sense swept across the square in an instant, and he found that nearly half of the human powerhouses had absorbed the Xuanhuang spiritual energy.
"Cultivate diligently, for now is the time when the human race needs talent." After saying this, Xu Chen entered the Origin Heart Dojo.
This is Xu Chen's own dojo, where he can feel the pressure of powerful figures on the Great Dao, combined with the Xuanhuang spiritual energy.
"With these two combined, I wouldn't have needed so much time to cultivate in the past."
In the past, it generally took human geniuses with Saint Venerable talent billions or even tens of billions of years to cultivate to the Saint Venerable realm.
Since the establishment of the Yuanxin Dojo, this process has been reduced to one billion years, or even longer.
Now, with the addition of the Yuanxin Dojo and the Xuanhuang spiritual energy, this timeframe has been shortened to within 300 million years.
"After hundreds of billions of years of accumulation, the number of Saint Venerable Realm and Invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts in the human race is probably more than that of the gods. They could form an army of hundreds of millions."
"However, one Origin Heart Dojo is not enough. Human powerhouses in other star fields cannot enjoy it. In the future, when we have more Xuanhuang spiritual energy, we can build more dojos in those star fields."
After inspecting the Yuanxin Dojo, Xu Chen suddenly thought of that human child who possessed the aptitude for the Great Dao.
"Go and see that child. He must have grown to the Saint Venerable Realm by now."
Xu Chen quietly communicated with cause and effect, and finally stepped into the void.
In an unfamiliar starry sea, a young-looking human powerhouse sat cross-legged on the head of an invincible Saint Venerable Realm behemoth.
"You're such a hard loach to catch, you've wasted so much of my time."
As the boy spoke, he reached out and patted the invincible Saintly Realm beast beneath him.
"I am a Saint Venerable Realm expert. I have been chasing your clan for so many years. I finally caught you alone and suppressed you."
"I never expected that you, an invincible Saint Venerable Realm Star Sea Domain behemoth, would be so weak."
"If I had known, I would have confronted your entire race head-on immediately." The boy sneered and looked in the direction of the human race.
"Now that my Great Dao Body, formed from the eighteen Great Daos, is complete, should I advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm?"
"I've only cultivated for tens of millions of years. Wouldn't it be a bit unstable for my foundation to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm?"
"My idol is the Holy Lord of the Human Race. When he was at the Holy Venerable Realm, he had already killed the Invincible Holy Venerable Realm as if they were trash."
"I haven't reached that level of combat power yet. Should I spend some more time honing my skills?"
The boy's expression was somewhat conflicted.
Meanwhile, Xu Chen, hidden in the void not far away, listened to the boy's words and was both amused and exasperated.
In Xu Chen's eyes, the boy's aptitude and the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities he had learned on the path of the Great Dao were perfect. Although his cultivation level had improved rapidly along the way, every step he took was incredibly solid.
It can be said that among the human race, apart from him, there is no one with a more solid foundation in the Great Dao than the young man before him.
"With a little more time to settle down, the human race will not lack an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert."
As the boy spoke, he gently patted the giant beast beneath him, sending it flying towards the human territory.
“My mother named me Zhang Zhisheng, and I have never understood this name since I was a child.”
"Although I have good talent, I am still a bit inferior to those top talents, and my combat strength is not the strongest among humans. I am not worthy of this name at all."
"I want to change my name to be more low-key, but my mother doesn't agree. It's a headache." Zhang Zhisheng scratched his head, unable to contain his thoughts about the path he had taken along the way.
"My family comes from a background of independent cultivators. Who gave my parents the courage to give them this name?"
"Most importantly, this name has had absolutely no impact on my path."
"The path I cultivate prioritizes cause and effect, and this name doesn't affect it at all."
“I was also filled with doubts as I grew up, and there was nothing about cause and effect.”
Zhang Zhisheng sat atop the giant beast's head, muttering to himself, which was clearly heard by Xu Chen in the void.
"This kid is a little too cautious."
"Having already cultivated to the Saint Venerable realm, he still hasn't realized that his combat power is among the best in the human race." Xu Chen shook his head with a smile.
"The extreme power of the human race inevitably gives this kid this feeling."
"It's good that he's so cautious. I'll feel at ease entrusting the human race to him when he advances to the Great Dao."
After seeing that his successor, on whom he had placed high hopes, had reached the standards he expected, Xu Chen quietly left.
Zhang Zhisheng, who was sitting on the head of the giant beast, suddenly felt that the karma on his body was heavier for some reason, but he did not know where this weight of karma came from.
"Strange, why do I feel like I have more responsibilities in the future?"
Does having great power come with great responsibility?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhisheng suddenly slapped the giant beast beneath him.
"Hurry back! I'm in a rush to finish my next mission!"
"Once I am strong enough to kill an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert, I will go to other star regions to expand the territory of the human race."
"At that time, I will sit and govern a region on the path of advancement."
"Perhaps at that time, I will have the opportunity to pay my respects to the Holy Lord of the Human Race."
Upon hearing the name of the Human Race's Holy Lord, Zhang Zhisheng's face revealed a look of admiration. (End of Chapter)
