Chapter 734
A Journey to Kunlun
"It seems that my senior brother already understood my lofty goals." Xu Chen laughed heartily.
"In the parlance of the human world, this star sea is too small to contain a true dragon like you."
Looking at Xu Chen, Yang Wanshan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement that his junior brother had suppressed a powerful figure on the Great Dao not long after advancing to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm.
Now, his own strength has reached the peak of the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, which means he can suppress most powerful beings on the Great Dao.
Such a prodigy, there will definitely be no room for my junior brother to develop in the entire Star Sea Region in the future.
"It's enough for now, but there are other star systems that can enhance my strength, so I usually stay in other star systems."
Xu Chen looked at Yang Wanshan, then condensed a ball of Xuanhuang spiritual energy in his hand and flew towards him.
Yang Wanshan absorbed the Xuanhuang spiritual energy naturally.
"Is this the spiritual energy of the Source Heart Dojo, which is even more powerful than the Great Dao Divine Source?" Yang Wanshan felt the terrifying Xuanhuang spiritual energy within his body, which forcefully enhanced his strength in a domineering way.
"Yes, I discovered this by accident. I named it Xuanhuang Spiritual Energy. Even the most dull-witted person, even if they cannot open the path to the Great Dao, can still advance to the Saint Venerable realm by absorbing this spiritual energy."
"Recently, I've been trying to find a way to combine it with the Great Dao of Humanity, to see if I can cultivate a powerful being above the Great Dao under the will of Humanity."
Xu Chen had indeed considered this, but he entrusted the matter to Da Xu.
Da Xu is his alter ego; the things Da Xu does are the things he does.
"Junior brother, the human race is already strong enough."
"In addition to the importance of strength, no powerful figure on the Great Dao of the entire Star Sea Domain will dare to attack you."
"So, junior brother, if you have time, focus on yourself."
"Now the human race lives under your protection. Only when you are strong can the human race be strong," Yang Wanshan said, putting down the bowl of seasoning in his hand.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After Xu Chen and Yang Wanshan finished their conversation atop the snow-capped mountain, they began to stroll around the Star Sea Domain.
Over the years, he has either been searching for special star regions or cultivating and comprehending the Great Dao.
When you suddenly have free time, it feels good to take a break.
Su Yueyao and Yang Ling'er accompanied Xu Chen on a walk.
"Husband, after Sister Ling'er advanced to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, her strength has become stronger and stronger."
"She actually managed to defeat my husband's clone with 20% of its combat power in the Dream Realm!" Su Yueyao exclaimed excitedly beside Xu Chen.
"It's not that amazing. It's just that in the end, there was no other way but to self-destruct, which is why I got this result." Yang Ling'er said with a proud look on her face.
"Impressive. Even if he self-destructs, he will perish together with my clone, who possesses 20% of my combat power."
"Ling'er, your combat strength ranks among the top twenty in the human race." Xu Chen looked at Yang Ling'er in surprise.
"Husband, wait for me a little longer. Once I have fully integrated all 360 Great Daos into my dantian Great Sun, I might be able to defeat the clone that has half of your combat power." Xu Chen's praise ignited Yang Ling'er's fighting spirit.
"Okay, I look forward to that day." Xu Chen smiled and stroked Yang Ling'er's head. Yang Ling'er shrank her neck slightly, like a kitten enjoying being petted.
Just as Xu Chen was enjoying a pleasant stroll with his two wives, an urgent message suddenly came from one of the human star regions.
Xu Chen opened the spatial portal directly and led Yang Ling'er and Su Yueyao inside.
A terrifying aura descended upon a star field.
This terrifying aura has already locked onto all the powerful human warriors, and annihilation is just a thought away.
"Strange, the races in this star field are clearly not strong, so why do I feel a sense of apprehension?"
A powerful humanoid figure, a thousand feet tall with a blue tail, looked at the humans he had completely controlled with a puzzled expression.
"Fellow Daoist, why have you trespassed into my human race's star field?"
Xu Chen's calm voice echoed from the void.
Three figures emerged from the void.
The terrifying aura that controlled all the powerful humans naturally dissipated.
"You, a mere Invincible Saint..."
The humanoid powerhouse was about to make a move to suppress Xu Chen, but in an instant, he felt the terrifying pressure from cause and effect and the future space, which frightened him into stopping his impulse to make a move.
He had a premonition that if he dared to make a move, he would surely perish.
"I greatly admire your strength." The humanoid powerhouse changed the subject.
"Since this star field belongs to your human race, I will not disturb you any longer."
The humanoid powerhouse was about to leave when he spoke, but how could Xu Chen let him leave so easily?
Using the three special Daos of Time, Devouring, and Game, the entire star field was sealed off, instantly trapping this humanoid powerhouse on the Dao within a special time cycle in this star field.
Xu Chen's gaze sharpened, and a top-tier innate treasure battle blade appeared in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist, don't rush to leave. Let's sit down and have a chat."
"Fellow Daoist, your arrival in this Star Sea region has put me in an awkward position."
"If you really intend to attack my star region, I won't hesitate too much."
"But your pragmatism makes things a bit difficult for me."
Xu Chen walked step by step toward the humanoid powerhouse.
On the Great Road, the humanoid powerhouse's eyes grew increasingly filled with terror.
The person before him was capable of suppressing him, or even killing him, but none of that was a reason for his fear.
What truly terrified him was the prospect of this monstrous talent before him.
That mere trace of a breath made him feel as if he and his entire clan had become lambs to the slaughter.
"Fellow Daoist, please calm down and let me explain."
"My name is You Kunlun, and I am the seventy-second elder of the Void Clan. I accidentally traveled here and discovered this star field that was only recently born. I did not know that this star field belonged to your race."
"The thought in one's heart is something that any strong person would have when encountering this level; it is not directed at your race."
"Fellow Daoist's appearance here is the will of Heaven."
"I wish to form a virtuous bond with you, fellow Daoist, and hope that our two races can exchange what we have for each other."
You Kunlun's words were reasonable and sincere, which made Xu Chen, who was about to take action, hesitate.
He also knew that with his own strength, even if he killed him here, this person would simply need to spend more time to resurrect from their own star region.
"Fellow Daoist is also a powerful figure on the Great Dao. Your words were so condescending, which made me seem arrogant."
"A guest is a guest, so I'll invite you to have some tea."
Xu Chen waved his hand gently, and a temple appeared in the star field.
Inside the temple, Xu Chen brewed the most exquisite innate treasure-level spiritual tea with Nine Yuan Heavy Water.
Xu Chen pushed the brewed tea in front of You Kunlun and looked at him with a slightly probing gaze.
The powerful figure before us, who was on the path to greatness, spoke so humbly just now; it certainly wasn't because of his strength.
Moreover, just as he was about to make his move, a force of time and causality, seemingly from a higher dimension, swept over him. It must be because of this that this powerful figure on the Great Dao uttered such humble words.
"Fellow Daoist, you've gone to great lengths. This is a divine-grade Nine Yuan Heavy Water, plus this Enlightenment Dao Tea."
"Even experts at the fourth level in our clan are reluctant to drink it every day."
Looking at the cup of tea in front of him, and combining it with the aura of the future he sensed, You Kunlun could conclude that he had met a powerful patron.
"Fellow Daoist is joking. We have everything a fourth-realm expert could want for tea."
“I did not know you before, fellow Daoist. We have only met once, yet I speak to you with such humility.”
"Could you tell me the reason behind this, fellow Daoist?" Xu Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and stared at You Kunlun.
"Forehead……"
You Kunlun found it hard to accept Xu Chen's way of speaking; how could he be so direct right from the start?
"Fellow Daoist, your future is mysterious and unpredictable. Your strength will be beyond my imagination, which is why I am doing this."
"Oh, fellow Daoist, did you see my future self?"
"What kind of strength is that?"
Xu Chen became interested. He had cultivated a special path of time and had once thought about exploring his own future scenarios.
However, no matter how he tried to activate that special power of time, all he saw was a blank screen.
"Fellow Daoist will be at least a fifth-realm expert in the future! And among those at the same level, your strength will be among the best." You Kunlun thought for a moment and gave a rough estimate.
"A powerful figure above the Fifth Realm! Interesting~"
Xu Chen was convinced of this answer.
With such a huge advantage, Xu Chen felt that he could even become a peak expert of the sixth realm in the future.
"Since you wish to form a good relationship with me, then I will accept you as my friend." Xu Chen smiled slightly.
This smile instantly relieved the pressure on You Kunlun.
"Fellow Daoist You has only recently advanced to the Great Dao, yet you are already able to roam the Chaos Realm. Your clan must be extraordinary. Could you tell me about it?" Xu Chen asked with a curious expression.
"Actually, there's not much to say. The star field where my race was born is extremely large, and there are hundreds of star fields around it."
"Since our birth, our clan has had a stroke of luck, and through sheer force, we have emerged victorious in the struggle for supremacy among countless races."
"Then, they united with all races to attack the surrounding star fields, and then swallowed up and unified more than ninety surrounding star fields."
"The strongest of our clan is a powerful figure above the Fifth Realm of the Great Dao. He comprehended the secret method that allows our clan to roam freely in the Chaos by engaging with the Chaos."
"Furthermore, if you are interested, I can teach this method to you."
A jade slip appeared in front of Xu Chen.
"This is a secret technique personally deduced by the noble god lord. Fellow Daoist, how are you going to explain this to your clan when you return?" Xu Chen was somewhat embarrassed.
"Consider this my gift to you, fellow Daoist. My clan does not forbid the transmission of such secret techniques for traversing the chaos."
"Fellow Daoist, all you need to do after learning this skill is travel around the Chaos and lend a helping hand when you see our clan's experts in danger."
With a wave of his hand, You Kunlun sent the jade slip into Xu Chen's hand.
"Fellow Daoist is very generous; I accept this favor."
Xu Chen put the jade slip away; he didn't need it, but future human powerhouses would.
"I cannot be stingy with my fellow Daoist's temperament."
As Xu Chen spoke, he gently waved his hand, and a top-tier, innate treasure sword of the killing type floated in front of You Kunlun.
This battle sword is a masterpiece of the Great Xu's art of slaughter, and its power is several times stronger than that of ordinary top-tier innate treasures.
"This top-tier innate treasure sword actually incorporates the divine runes of the origin of slaughter into it."
"And the fusion is so perfect, whose masterpiece is this?"
When You Kunlun saw this top-tier innate treasure sword, he was even more shocked than when he sensed a trace of Xu Chen's future aura earlier.
"Do I look like a weapon refiner to you, fellow Daoist?" Xu Chen's divine sense stirred, and he exuded a unique aura of a weapon refiner.
"Fellow Daoist, with such skill in weapon crafting, you will be an honored guest no matter which star field you go to," You Kunlun exclaimed.
"My humble skills are nothing but a joke to you, fellow Daoist."
After saying this, Xu Chen suddenly felt that his humility was a bit pretentious.
“Fellow Daoist, if the power of this battle sword can be brought to its fullest potential, it should be able to barely reach the power of the lowest grade Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.”
"This gift is too valuable, but I would like to accept it."
“That’s right. If you have any questions in the Starfield in the future, you can ask me directly. I will answer them to the best of my ability.” You Kunlun looked at the battle sword, his eyes shining, and put it into his spiritual treasure space.
"Oh, I happen to have a question I'd like to ask."
"I wonder, my friend, what brings you to wander in this chaos?"
"Treasure hunt or star field exploration?"
"Both exist. As you should know, the most suitable magic weapon for a powerful being on the Great Dao is the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure."
"Most of the Xuanhuang Treasures are born in the chaos, and I've come out to see how my luck is."
"Now it seems that meeting fellow Daoists and forming good relationships is an opportunity that is even more important than obtaining a Xuanhuang treasure."
"If there are no humans in this star field, what will we face next?" Xu Chen asked again.
"It depends on the star field. Generally speaking, without special luck, this star field will either be swallowed up or become a treasure trove for our race."
"If a special innate treasure embryo is placed in this star field, it has a chance to be upgraded to a Xuanhuang treasure after trillions of years."
"I have no master or family support in my clan, so this is the only way I can obtain the Xuanhuang Treasure."
"As for that special innate treasure embryo, fellow Daoist, please don't ask. It's a secret of my clan." You Kunlun gave Xu Chen a heads-up beforehand.
Although Xu Chen was curious about this special innate treasure embryo, he did not necessarily want to obtain it.
"I have no interest in exploring the secrets of the nobility. But there is one thing I am quite curious about."
"I wonder if your noble family has any rare and precious treasures for sale?" Xu Chen asked.
"No, there's no precedent for selling this to outsiders. If you really want to obtain the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure..."
"I suggest you go and see those three publicly disclosed star domains. One of my clan's elders purchased a Xuanhuang treasure from one of those star domains."
“If you are unaware of the three publicly disclosed major star domains, I can take you there to see them,” You Kunlun said enthusiastically.
"I've only heard of the Three Great Starfields, I've never been there. Could you tell me what it's like there? And what do I need to obtain the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure?"
Xu Chen was thinking about several spiritual items that could be exchanged for the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.
"Anything that can be exchanged for a Xuanhuang Treasure is acceptable, as long as it can help a powerful figure on the Great Dao."
"For example, the Great Dao Source Pill to aid cultivation, the Myriad Azure Divine Pill to help heal injuries, and..." You Kunlun listed a bunch of pills, of which Xu Chen could refine nearly 80%. (End of Chapter)
