Chapter 575 Big Tomb
Looking at the invisible seed in his hand, Xu Chen finally decided to deal with it later.
He already has the ability to create clones, so he doesn't need to use it.
As for reincarnation and cultivation, that would require fully inheriting the talent of the spirit of heaven and earth. To be honest, Xu Chen didn't think much of that kind of talent.
As for refining it into a Great Dao Divine Source, it seems he doesn't need it now.
"Xu Chen, what do you plan to do with me?" a hesitant voice asked.
"Senior just mentioned knowing about a large tomb. Why don't you take me to see it?"
"Senior has traveled through the star sea for so many years, you must have encountered many secret realms and treasure lands. Tell me about them all, and I will assess their value."
"Who knows, I might release you if I'm in a good mood," Xu Chen said casually.
"Alright, I know your style. I have never harmed a human, nor have I damaged the interests of the human race."
"Although I had wicked thoughts about you, now I am at your mercy."
"I'm willing to tell you everything I know. The great tomb I'm talking about is..."
The invisible seed reported a coordinate, which was extremely far away from here, and even at full speed, it would take thousands of years.
"The main realm has been peaceful recently, so it's unlikely to cause a major battle. Let me show you that large tomb. If there's something I like inside, I might be so happy that I'll release you, senior."
The black crystal ship turned around and sped towards the coordinates.
"What is it that you desire?" asked Grand Venerable Hongqian.
"I already have plenty of innate spiritual treasures, so I'll have to see if there are any innate supreme treasures among them." Xu Chen's tone was somewhat expectant.
"A supreme innate treasure..."
"Just say you don't want to let me go," said Grand Venerable Hongqian, somewhat angrily.
"Don't worry, senior. You must know me. If you cooperate obediently, there is still a way out."
"The journey is long, senior, you can now tell me about what you saw during your travels through the star sea." Xu Chen showed a rather interested expression.
"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
After being threatened by Xu Chen, the Invisible Seed realized that its life was still in Xu Chen's hands.
Just as Xu Chen set off for the great tomb deep in the distant Star Sea, he suddenly received news that the two forces in the main world had started fighting again.
"It's a good opportunity to hide away and have some peace and quiet."
Although the fluctuations emanating from the Invincible Saint Venerable's battle had no effect on Xu Chen, he disliked the fear these fluctuations evoked deep within his soul.
The black crystal ship flew into the depths of the vast starry sea. Before leaving, it specifically notified Da Xu, asking him to extend a space passage in this direction when he was building it, so that it would be convenient for his return.
A thousand years is neither a long nor a short time, but listening to a powerful being billions of years old recount his life experiences, Xu Chen felt that this thousand-year journey was quite interesting.
What easily annoyed Xu Chen was that all the super-large spirit mines that Grand Venerable Hongqian encountered in the Star Sea Region were sold to the surrounding powerful clans.
In addition, Xu Chen also learned about the forces surrounding the main realm.
However, the distance between these forces is so great that even a Grand Venerable Realm expert controlling a Primordial Spirit Treasure Flying Boat at full speed would need hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to reach them.
Xu Chen listened to this for amusement, the key point being that the human race should probably know about this kind of news.
"Your life has been truly remarkable," Xu Chen said leisurely.
Grand Venerable Hongqian was born in the main realm, but after reaching the Golden Immortal realm, he was targeted by the Origin Holy Land and had no choice but to flee to the Star Sea.
They cultivated while fleeing for their lives in the Star Sea, where they also encountered various powerful clans and forces.
When encountering a powerful clan or force that follows the rules, one will stop to cultivate for a period of time; when encountering one that does not follow the rules, one will flee far away.
He continued on and off like this, and at the age of thirty million, he ascended to the Great Luo.
After gaining strength, he established a power in a star sea region. After operating for tens of millions of years, he was targeted by a powerful clan, and Grand Venerable Hongqian began his life of exile once again.
It wasn't until they reached the Great Venerable Realm at the age of 380 million that they finally settled down in one region.
After a long period of time, he cultivated to the peak of the Great Venerable Realm at the age of 1.03 billion. Two billion years later, he failed to advance to the Saint Venerable Realm and began to flee to the Star Sea Region until he encountered that secret technique.
"Why don't you try again, senior?"
"Maybe after hundreds of billions of years, you'll become a Saint Venerable," Xu Chen asked curiously.
"Logically you should know, but considering you're still a little guy over 100,000 years old, I doubt the strong people among the human race have told you."
"The soul of the Golden Body Realm is immortal; the true spirit of the Great Luo Realm traverses the long river of ten thousand paths; and the true spirit of the Great Venerable Realm is immortal."
"These things that seem to exist forever are actually just appearances."
"When your own realm is solidified in one state for a long time, you can feel the call of the myriad rivers."
"The longer the time goes on, the stronger the call of the myriad rivers will become. In that call, you can feel that as long as you respond, the Great Dao that is blocking you will unfold to you."
"Once you merge into the vast river of myriad paths, you will be able to experience a new realm."
"At that time, there will be no way to resist. The true spirit that has broken away from the River of Myriad Paths will inevitably merge into it and feel the Great Dao that has trapped it."
"Eternity is true, but what is truly eternal is the great path one cultivates."
When the Great Venerable Hongqian spoke, his tone became somewhat eager.
In this yearning, Xu Chen understood what it meant to hear the Way in the morning.
The thought sent chills down Xu Chen's spine.
"At what age does one reach the Great Venerable Realm to experience this feeling?" Xu Chen quickly asked.
"It depends on one's own will. I had this feeling when I was three billion years old."
"As for the other Great Venerables, I don't know."
"But I have several friends who are at the Great Venerable Realm, some of whom are exceptionally talented and advanced to the Great Venerable Realm at the age of over 5000 million."
"However, due to joining a faction, the continuous battles caused it to fall into slumber and then revive many times."
"After reaching the Great Venerable Realm, I had this feeling only 300 million years later."
"Finally, when he was eleven billion years old, he perished, and his true spirit returned to the long river of ten thousand paths." Grand Venerable Hongqian's tone was somewhat sorrowful.
"I see, I understand a little now." Xu Chen nodded.
Just then, the black crystal ship entered a dangerous sea of lightning.
They then entered a hidden place in the perilous Thunder Sea.
In an instant, the world opened up, and a colorful world appeared before Xu Chen's eyes.
At that moment, a mysterious force trapped the Black Crystal Ship.
"These are the rules of that great tomb; flying magical treasures are not allowed to enter," said Grand Venerable Hongqian.
Xu Chen nodded and left the black crystal ship, appearing in this colorful world.
"The fundamental laws governing this world." Xu Chen frowned slightly.
"The nine colors correspond to the nine Great Dao Laws: the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Wind and Thunder. Apart from these, you cannot sense the existence of any other Great Dao Laws."
"What should I do next?" Using only the nine Great Dao Laws, Xu Chen could only unleash 70% of his strength.
"Do you know who the owner of this large tomb was?"
Xu Chen flew deeper into this rainbow world.
"The Nine-Colored Saint Venerable is estimated to have perished hundreds of billions of years ago, and no records of the Nine-Colored Saint Venerable have been found in the surrounding star seas."
"This great tomb is a world of inheritance. My secret technique was obtained by slaying a nine-colored beast at the Great Venerable Realm."
As Hongqian Dazun spoke, various strange beasts of different colors began to appear in the distance, each color representing a different Great Dao Law they were using.
All the beasts that came were exotic beasts from the Golden Immortal Realm.
"Is there a reward for killing this small alien beast?" Xu Chen asked.
"Yes, it could be a cultivation technique, or it could be some kind of immortal energy."
"Thinking about it, it's still a bit unfair. When I came in, I encountered nine-colored beasts with the combat power of a Great Venerable Realm. It was difficult to kill even one of them."
"If it were you, these Golden Immortal level beasts probably wouldn't even be able to withstand your aura," Grand Venerable Hongqian said with some jealousy.
"Senior, there's no need to be envious. You'll definitely get stronger as time goes on."
Xu Chen snapped his fingers lightly, and nine Five Elements clones appeared in the void, each clone possessing 50% of Xu Chen's combat power.
This is one of the Great Dao Divine Powers that Xu Chen learned, "Hundred Battles Clone," which allows him to use his own understanding of the Great Dao to condense temporary clones for battle.
The deeper one's understanding of the Great Dao, the stronger the combat power of one's clones.
"Go ahead." These strange beasts, which Xu Chen considered less than ants, made him too lazy to lift a finger.
With the nine Five Elements clones moving in unison, tens of thousands of Golden Immortal Realm beasts were instantly annihilated.
Five kinds of Five Elements Daoist supernatural powers covered the entire battlefield.
"Even the clones have such combat power, Xu Chen, I must say, my judgment wasn't bad." Grand Venerable Hongqian looked at the combat power of the nine clones in shock.
"Senior's judgment is quite good. If I didn't have some special methods, I might have really let you succeed," Xu Chen said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. The deeper we go, the stronger the beasts become."
“When I first came to this great tomb, I didn’t stay long before I came out. I hope you can find something good in this tomb,” said Grand Venerable Hongqian.
"Don't worry, we'll find it."
"Furthermore, I promise that as long as I can obtain the innate treasure, I will allow your true spirit to be reincarnated in the human race," Xu Chen assured him.
"Then what about this kind of seed?" Grand Venerable Hongqian asked cautiously.
"Senior, you don't think there's no consequence for harboring murderous intent towards me, do you?" Xu Chen said quietly.
"That's not bad either. Reincarnating with memories intact is equivalent to starting over, but it still gives you a glimmer of hope to advance to the Saint Venerable Realm."
"If the human race can unify this main realm in the future, I might be able to advance to the Saint Venerable Realm just by relying on the human race's Great Dao fortune." Grand Venerable Hongqian began to comfort himself.
Meanwhile, the battlefield in the distance grew increasingly fierce, and the strange beasts that appeared became stronger and stronger.
However, even the strongest alien beasts are like ants in front of Xu Chen's battle clone.
"This is too powerful! How can a Golden Immortal be this strong!"
"This one of your battle clones might just be enough to kill a Grand Luo Realm expert!"
"In my billions of years of life, I have never seen such a powerful Golden Immortal!"
After comforting himself, Grandmaster Hongqian began to focus on the battlefield, and the more he looked, the more amazed he became.
"Senior's knowledge is still too limited. If you were fortunate enough to enter the Holy Clan, you would find that the prodigies there are also very strong in combat," Xu Chen said with a smile.
"Am I stronger than you?" Grand Venerable Hongqian asked.
“In the past, I would have used the word ‘strong’.”
“But now, they are like ants in front of me.” Xu Chen raised his head slightly.
"..."
The battle continued, and the strange beasts that appeared began to turn two colors, and they would drop all sorts of things when they died.
Although these things were worthless in Xu Chen's eyes, the feeling of them dropping was very pleasant, like the feeling of monsters dropping items in a Dynasty Warriors game in his previous life.
With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of items blasted out by the two-colored beasts flew in front of him.
"This large tomb is indeed very old. Even with the protection of the secret realm, many things have withered."
Xu Chen casually touched a bottle of pills protected by light. When the light disappeared, the pills turned to ashes in an instant.
The same goes for magical artifacts and spirit ores; they will turn to ashes with just a light touch.
“Only items of the acquired spiritual treasure level can survive such a long period of time, but even then, their spiritual essence is halved,” said Grand Venerable Hongqian.
"The senior is right, only the Tao is eternal," Xu Chen said, looking at the two-colored beasts fighting in the distance.
The battle in the distance continued. At this time, three-colored beasts had appeared in the rainbow world, and their strength was equivalent to that of a typical Golden Immortal genius from a major clan.
However, Xu Chen's nine combat clones maintained the same efficiency in killing enemies.
The items dropped by the three-colored beast are more valuable than those dropped by the two-colored beast, but they are still at the same level. They will turn to ashes if touched even slightly.
"These strange beasts can't all come out at once," Xu Chen couldn't help but say.
"I'm afraid only someone with your strength would dare to say such things."
After watching the battle in the distance, a bored Xu Chen chatted with Grand Venerable Hongqian again, continuing to ask him about the interesting things he had experienced over the past billions of years.
The battle in the Rainbow World has entered its tenth year. By this time, the Nine-Colored Beasts have appeared, each with extraordinary strength, their combat power equivalent to that of the prodigies Xu Chen faced in his final battle against the Divine Race.
Xu Chen's nine combat clones are no longer able to instantly kill hordes of alien beasts as they used to.
"The Nine-Colored Beast only revealed a post-natal spiritual treasure at the very end; I wonder what it will be like after that."
Xu Chen looked at the pile of acquired spiritual treasures with half their spiritual energy in front of him and showed some anticipation.
"Based on past patterns, an enhanced version of the illusion with your own combat power should appear."
"Or perhaps it's a test of one's mindset or some kind of test of the Great Dao."
"Perhaps after you've accomplished all this, you'll still have to fight against the lingering remnants of the Nine-Colored Saint Venerable." Grand Venerable Hongqian recounted all the possibilities he could imagine.
"For a Saint Venerable Realm expert to live a second life, such a long time would be enough for even a lingering resentment to be consumed by the River of Myriad Paths," Xu Chen said, stroking his chin.
"Perhaps so, but I once visited a great clan, and the Saintly Venerable who ruled that clan lived a third life," said Grand Venerable Hongqian.
"So tenacious." Xu Chen had read the relevant information and knew that it was no less difficult for a Saint Venerable Realm expert to live a second life than for an ordinary mortal to fight a tiger bare-handed.
"There is a price to pay; their true spirit is getting weaker and weaker, and they have severed all possibility of the Great Dao."
"Speaking of which, that powerful clan is quite pitiful. They rely entirely on that powerful figure to keep going, and none of their descendants are any promising talents," said Grand Venerable Hongqian.
"That's quite pitiful; not a single Saint Venerable Realm expert has emerged from the three great clans."
Meanwhile, on the distant battlefield, all the nine-colored beasts had been wiped out by the clones, and no new beasts appeared. (End of Chapter)
