Chapter 735
The Value of Taking Action
You Kunlun said a lot, and Xu Chen felt that he could refine it if he had the materials, which was nearly 70% certain.
These things are alright.
"I wonder how much it would take to exchange for the Xuanhuang Treasure?" Xu Chen asked.
"There are many, such as divine pills that can help even the most powerful cultivators recover from their injuries."
"It would take 1 million pills to restore one's original essence."
"There are also innate treasures that can harm even experts above the Great Dao, and one can only be obtained for every 100,000 of them."
As You Kunlun spoke, he took out the battle sword that Xu Chen had given him.
“If there were fewer such top-grade innate treasures with such excellent quality and powerful abilities, we would still need 8 of them.”
"It takes 8 top-tier innate treasures to exchange for one Xuanhuang treasure." Xu Chen's expression was one of disbelief.
"That's right. Back then, our clan's elders searched through countless star fields to gather a coveted Xuanhuang treasure, and even incurred a huge debt in the process."
“Even if we obtain that Xuanhuang Treasure, it has been 8000 trillion years, and the debts from back then are still not paid off.” You Kunlun said, a look of amazement on his face.
He was related to that elder by blood, and he would visit him every year-end or during major festivals in their star field. In the elder's cave, the most frequent visitors were those who wanted to collect debts.
"Since so many divine pills and innate treasures are needed, it doesn't matter whether we exchange them or not."
As Xu Chen spoke, he thought of the small chessboard that Da Xu had deduced.
And the Xuanhuang Treasure promised by that powerful figure on the Great Dao.
“Logically speaking, top-tier star regions shouldn’t need so many…” Xu Chen paused here.
"Is this the case in all three star regions? Is it possible to exchange so many supreme treasures and divine pills for the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure?"
"Yes, I know, fellow Daoist has come to a conclusion."
"Just as you thought, fellow Daoist, those three star regions share a common adversary, namely the alien demons within the chaos."
"Alien demons? Even such a top-tier star field has alien demons to trouble it!"
"Of course there are, and the stronger the star field, the stronger it is."
"For example, in my star region, nearly half of the powerful individuals need to remain in this star region to resist the alien demons," You Kunlun said matter-of-factly.
Why are there no such things in some star systems?
"That's because the level isn't high enough. Once the star field has more than five experts above the fourth realm of the Great Dao, it will attract the attention of the alien demons in the chaos."
“If those fourth-realm experts are prepared, that’s fine. But if they’re not, a moment of carelessness could lead to the entire star field being breached by the alien demons.” You Kunlun said, taking out a jade slip and handing it to Xu Chen.
"This is the information about the alien demons collected by our star system."
Xu Chen saw the jade slip, accepted it without making a sound, and his doubts grew.
"Do you think it's possible for a star field without any fourth-realm experts to attract the attention of the alien demons?"
“There are special star regions, and the energy they contain can also attract the attention of the alien demons.”
"However, such star fields are rare, because they are wiped out by alien demons not long after they are born."
"I see~"
"By the way, there are alien demons around those three star regions. How do we get there? Do we just teleport there?" Xu Chen asked.
"Of course, it's impossible to go directly through the chaos. You need to land in their exclusive teleportation star field and take a cross-chaos teleportation array."
You Kunlun took out a compass.
"The location of that special teleportation star field is not fixed, and it is all located by this compass."
"There is only one of these compasses, so please forgive me for not being able to give it to Fellow Daoist Xu."
Xu Chen looked at the green compass in You Kunlun's hand and gently tapped it with one hand.
"Thank you for telling me the truth, Fellow Daoist." Xu Chen smiled slightly.
"Fellow Daoist, if there's nothing else, I'll continue searching for other star regions."
After chatting for a while, You Kunlun felt that his life was safe and bid farewell to Xu Chen.
"Fellow Daoist, how many Star Sea Domains at the Ten Thousand Dao level do you think would be needed to exchange for a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure?" A golden light flashed in Xu Chen's eyes.
"It depends on luck. If our clan's Supreme Elders are willing to exchange a Xuanhuang Treasure for 500 star field coordinates that have developed to the Ten Thousand Dao level."
"500!"
Xu Chen did indeed have this quantity, but that was all he had, as most of it was reserved for the development of the human race.
"There's nothing we can do. Our clan's secret techniques only have a chance of success, and that chance is too small."
"Only one out of 500 starfields with a development level of 10,000 Dao points has a chance of appearing. As for whether a second one will appear, it all depends on luck," You Kunlun said helplessly.
"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. We've already talked for so long, so I won't disturb you any longer as you continue your search for star fields."
"May we meet again someday."
Xu Chen watched as You Kunlun entered the chaos.
Inside the Holy White Space, Xu Chen easily replicated the compass.
"It's a pity he's an expert in the Dao of Cause and Effect. Otherwise, I really wanted to mark him and see what that special embryo that can be nurtured into a Xuanhuang treasure would look like."
Within the human territory of the Star Sea Domain.
After Xu Chen returned, he began his seclusion, actually using the Holy White Space to continue searching for various star regions.
Eighty million years passed in the blink of an eye, and another band of light appeared in the Holy White Space.
"A special space, this path has been of great help to me."
Inside the Holy White Space, Xu Chen looked at a band of light that was somewhat transparent.
Xu Chen waved his hand, and the light strip fell into his hand.
"From now on, we can use this special space to connect all the major star regions of the human race." Xu Chen's eyes lit up.
"Moreover, when facing powerful figures on the Great Dao in the future, we will not be so passive in terms of spatial sealing."
Upon returning to the Star Sea Domain, Xu Chen received a message from Zou Hai.
Inside a magnificent temple, Xu Chen and Zun Hai played chess.
"Brother, you're amazing! Just from the Great Dao Chess, it's clear that your understanding of the Dao of Time and Space is no less than that of ordinary experts above the Great Dao," Zun Hai exclaimed in surprise.
"I've gained some insights into this over time," Xu Chen laughed.
After playing ten consecutive games of the Grand Chess, the two sides are still tied.
"The reason I called you here this time is because Jiuyuan has discovered a star field with a strength comparable to that of the Star Sea Field."
"The powerful figures on the Great Dao of our Star Sea Domain are preparing to join forces to annex that star domain."
"It's just that the laws of that star field are a bit strange, and the power of the rules is very strong."
"In the rules of that star field, outsiders who want to invade that star field can only do so by fighting soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals."
"Simply put, those who are strong above the Great Dao can only attack those who are strong above the Great Dao. If they attack those who are invincible Saint Venerables, they will be punished by the heavens."
"We've explored the Nine Abyss of that Star Domain. The experts in our Star Sea Domain are stronger than those there."
"However, in the various realms below the Great Dao, especially the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm and the Saint Venerable Realm, that star field is stronger than the Star Sea Field."
“There are even some invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts in that star field who can rival those above the Great Dao. It is said that those invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts can break through to the Great Dao at any time.”
"Because the rules of that star field are forcibly kept at the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, precisely to deal with such situations."
"So after much thought, I believe that only you, brother, are the key to breaking this deadlock." "If you were to take action and kill all those invincible Saint Venerables who can rival those above the Great Dao, this operation would be perfect."
"As for the fee you will pay, don't worry."
"After it's done, you'll receive at least one Xuanhuang treasure."
Zun Hai waved his hand gently, and a light screen appeared in front of Xu Chen. The light screen contained all the famous invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts in that star field.
"There isn't an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert in our star field who can rival an expert above the Great Dao," Xu Chen asked casually while looking at the data.
"There are two exceptionally talented spirits of heaven and earth who can contend with him, and there are also five geniuses from the divine race who can contend with him."
"But after a powerful expert on the Great Dao who is skilled in deduction and cause and effect calculated it, they found that there was a big difference, so in the end they could only find you, brother."
Xu Chen looked at the information on the light screen. There were more than a hundred people, and nearly half of them were capable of advancing to the Great Dao at any time.
"How much do you want me to solve?" Xu Chen decided to take on the job; a Xuanhuang treasure was enough to get him involved.
"Half, and this half is also the strongest of them."
As Zun Hai spoke, half of the invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts were gone from the light screen in front of Xu Chen.
"Sure, when do we make our move?" Xu Chen waved his hand, scattering the light barrier.
"Even if you are planning something with good intentions but not with bad intentions, it will still take millions of years to plan. Just make sure you have enough time for that."
"In addition, you need to refine more of the top-tier innate treasures for killing techniques, just in case."
Hundreds of top-tier innate treasure embryos related to the path of killing appeared before Xu Chen.
"Ten of these items are your payment; for the rest, you just need to deliver them within a million years."
Looking at these hundreds of innate treasure embryos of the killing and destruction type, Xu Chen might have been excited in the past.
But when he knew that it would take tens of thousands of items to exchange for a single Xuanhuang Treasure, he no longer felt anything when looking at these.
"Okay, I will refine it as soon as possible."
Xu Chen nodded and accepted these innate treasure embryos.
"By the way, what type of Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure do you want? If we find a suitable one, we'll reserve it for you in advance."
"Thank you for your help, brother. If you find any Xuanhuang treasures related to the path of cause and effect, please keep an eye out for them."
"Or you can name a few more. The Xuanhuang Treasures of the Dao of Cause and Effect, we don't have them in our Star Sea Region, and that Star Region probably doesn't have them either."
"In that case, time, space, yin, yang, life, the five elements, wind and thunder are all possible." Xu Chen thought of the Primordial God Clan's clan-protecting artifact, which was also a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure.
With the help of the cultivation technique found in the large cauldron he had investigated, Da Xu could transform the corresponding Xuanhuang treasure into divine fire like that of the Primordial God Clan.
“Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for these for you.” Zun Hai nodded.
"By the way, remember to bring as many of your human race's strongest warriors as possible during the great battle, bring as many as you can from each realm. After you've dealt with the strong warriors, you can create a divine territory for your plunder."
"With the Xuanhuang Treasure and this territory, it should be enough to greatly increase the strength of your human race." Zun Hai once again showed his caring older brother qualities.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen really wanted to move Zunhai to the human race's ancestral hall for worship.
"Big brother is so thoughtful."
"We're brothers!"
Millions of years pass in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xu Chen was summoned by Zun Hai.
There was a giant teleportation array at the border.
Almost all the powerful figures on the Great Dao in the entire Star Sea region were present.
In addition, there were countless armies, with the major gods all sending their most elite troops.
Xu Chen took a few moments to observe the situation and found that the enemy army was roughly equal in strength to their human army. The only difference was that the enemy army's equipment was better, likely due to accumulated experience over time.
A divine vessel of supreme Xuanhuang treasure level stood at the border, radiating a power that even Xu Chen found astonishing.
"In a moment, everyone will enter this Xuanhuang flying boat, which will then be transported into the Chaos via a teleportation array."
"Do you have enough human men?" Zun Hai asked.
"That's enough. We've brought hundreds of billions of troops from each realm below the Saint Venerable Realm, and they're all elites."
For millions of years, the entire human race has been busy with this matter.
"Okay~"
A terrifying aura descended upon the edge of the Star Sea Domain.
All the creatures could see was a blurry figure.
"After being transferred to the Xuanhuang Flying Ship and teleported into the Guajin Star Region, the war will begin."
"Act according to plan. Whether you sacrifice or perish, as long as you exert all your strength, the Star Sea will bless you after the mission is accomplished."
"Anyone who tries to slip through the cracks without contributing in this battle will be executed upon their return!"
"Return to your positions now!"
In the Star Sea, an endless army began to fly towards the Xuanhuang Flying Ship.
Xu Chen, as the Holy Lord of the Human Race, was also assigned to a flying boat secret realm.
In the secret realm, millions of human army leaders discussed how to fight in that star field.
“Holy Lord, there is a loophole in the information you gave us regarding that star field.”
"Although we cannot attack beings below our own level, the aftershocks of the battle will definitely affect them, even though the fluctuations will be invisible under the laws of that star field."
"But according to our research, although the most traditional Qi and blood energy may be reduced, it can still play a role."
"So we devised a sweeping tactic to clear out the smaller minions."
A human invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert bowed before Xu Chen and handed him a tactical jade slip.
Xu Chen scanned the area with his divine sense and then nodded.
"It really can only clear out small fry. As for the Qi and Blood path, if your realm is slightly stronger, you can easily dodge its fluctuations."
"But it's good that you thought of this."
"Go ahead and take action. I'll be here if you encounter any difficult situations."
Behind Xu Chen, a dream world appeared, containing an army composed of Xu Chen's dream avatars at various realms.
These armies of Xu Chen in the Dream World all correspond to one-tenth of the combat power of Xu Chen's realm at that time, which is also the limitation of that rule star field.
Upon seeing Xu Chen's army in Xu Chen's Dream Realm, the tense hearts of many gods relaxed completely.
"Let's prepare for battle!"
As Xu Chen finished speaking, millions of military leaders transformed into streaks of spiritual light and flew into the spatial treasure cave that Xu Chen had prepared.
The enormous Xuanhuang flying boat stopped on the huge teleportation array.
More than a hundred figures exuding a terrifying aura stood at the bow of the ship.
“That guy Jiuyuan has been acting strangely lately. Let’s not get caught up in his trap,” said a powerful figure on the Great Dao who exuded an aura of supreme Yang and strength.
"You're questioning me? Questioning me under the watchful eye of the Star Sea Domain's Will!"
Jiuyuan's chilling voice rang out. (End of Chapter)
