Chapter 689 Grinding

Although Xu Chen acted as usual, Xu Qianjia, as his father, still sensed a trace of anxiety and unease through their blood connection.

"Don't worry, Dad, the result is good, it's just that the process was a bit tedious." Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"That's good!"

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these ten thousand years, Xu Chen has always been with his family and occasionally met with his friends.

Inside Xu Chen's cave, a group of powerful human warriors bid him farewell.

"From now on, the human race will depend on you~" The Human Emperor looked at Xu Chen with a complicated expression.

This vast expanse of starry sea is truly a chosen land prepared by that powerful being on the Great Dao for the human race.

The resources are more than ten times greater than in the previous Star Sea region, and there are no powerful enemies.

It can be said that, based on the experience of the human race, developing in this star sea is like a doctoral student solving an elementary school problem. The survival and rise experience accumulated over the long river of time has now been reduced to mining and development.

But the more this was the case, the more uneasy the high-ranking members of the human race became.

Because they know what they have to give up for all of this.

Although this place is good and has abundant resources, in the eyes of the entire human race's powerful members, it is a cage.

"I'm going to put on a grand show, and all of you seniors can take this opportunity to cultivate diligently and strive to produce more invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts."

At this moment, Xu Chen seemed like a child about to leave home.

“Go ahead. In a while, I will enter the Yuanxin Dojo for secluded cultivation and will not come out until I advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm.” Xuanding Saint Venerable assured him.

Xu Chen looked at Xuan Ding Saint Venerable, nodded, waved goodbye to everyone, and stepped into the spatial gate.

Xu Chen, who should have arrived at the Dao Gate Domain, appeared instead in a divine temple.

On the main seat of the temple sat a blurry figure whose face was not visible, and a terrifying aura of control over all things pressed down on Xu Chen.

"Greetings, senior~" Xu Chen bowed respectfully.

“Little guy, in the past 20 million years, I have protected your human race’s territory by blocking more than a dozen attacks, whether overt or covert, from that newly promoted powerhouse.”

A languid voice echoed in the hall.

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, senior, and I will repay you handsomely in the future."

Faced with this powerful figure on the path to enlightenment, Xu Chen could only offer empty promises as a token of gratitude.

"How do I resubmit?" The lazy voice rose slightly, as if teasing his pet.

"I am skilled in weapon crafting. If I ever encounter a top-tier innate treasure embryo in the future, I would like to craft a handy little gadget for you."

While chatting with Qianming, Xu Chen learned that the Xuanhuang Treasure was extremely precious, and even powerful figures at the Great Dao level might not possess it.

Therefore, even the most powerful beings on the Great Dao would need to use innate treasures.

"It's a small favor, but not enough~" The lazy voice became slightly more formal.

Three items~

That's still not enough.

Just as Xu Chen was about to increase his bet, several coordinates of the Star Sea appeared in his mind.

"I used to have a little pet, it was so cute."

"But later, it mischievously escaped from my grasp and ran to a far place that I couldn't control."

"The coordinates in your mind are the area I calculated using the Dao of Cause and Effect. After you advance to the Saint Venerable Realm, help me find it."

A crystal-clear white hair appeared from the void and floated before Xu Chen's eyes.

"After you bring my precious little darling back, bring me five more of the most top-tier innate treasures."

Hearing this, Xu Chen felt relieved and accepted the white fur floating in front of him.

"When I am able to do so, I will look for your pet as soon as possible."

Xu Chen said this outwardly, but cursed inwardly.

The moment he put away that white hair, he deduced the cause and effect.

This is no small pet; it is clearly a ferocious beast at the invincible Saint Venerable Realm.

"Then go ahead."

"Behave well, and I'll always be watching you~"

The lazy voice chuckled softly, and Xu Chen felt the space undergo countless changes before he appeared within the Dao Gate Domain.

Xu Chen stood in the sky above the Dao Gate Domain for a long time, feeling the spatial force that had pulled him here.

"I thought..." Xu Chen gave a self-deprecating laugh.

In a starry sea far from the Daoist realm, a primordial treasure temple sits.

Xu Chen then entered the Holy White Space within the hall and began his repeated attempts to break through to the Saint Venerable realm.

Within the Holy White Space, Xu Chen, unable to control the power of the Great Dao after his sublimation, once again exploded into a blood mist.

With focused will, Xu Chen was resurrected once more.

"The Devouring Path and the Nether Moon Path seem unrelated on the surface, but after sublimation, they actually merge and give rise to each other. It's just a pity that they are too difficult to control."

A beam of light appeared before Xu Chen, displaying the effects of various sublimated Great Dao powers merging and interacting with other Great Dao powers.

"Just testing out all the characteristics of these sublimated Great Dao powers would take an unknown amount of time."

"If I weren't wearing this, I don't know how many tens of thousands of times I would have died."

As Xu Chen spoke, he looked toward the next arrangement of light and shadow and began to experiment.

Time flows on, and another ten million years have passed.

At this point, Xu Chen had only completed half of what he had written on the form, which was still only the first step in his advancement to Saint Venerable.

"One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things."

"The three sublimated powers of the Great Dao are perfectly integrated, and then the Dao is formed by the three threes to condense one's own Great Dao body."

"The number of permutations and combinations required is as numerous as the stars."

"However, the human race is currently at peace. Although they are in prison, it's still better than..."

As his consciousness returned to his physical body from the Holy White Space, a look of vicissitude flashed in Xu Chen's eyes.

In an unfamiliar starry sea, Xu Chen stepped into a world of great beings and arrived at a beautiful garden.

Xu Chen strolled through the sea of ​​flowers and came to a lakeside.

"Such a beautiful and ethereal scene seems out of place with your appearance."

At this moment, Chimei was grilling fish by the lake, occasionally picking up a sake bottle and taking a sip.

"I don't care about all that, as long as I'm happy~"

Qianming saw Xu Chen come over and picked up a marinated fish to grill.

Xu Chen sat down by the lake, waiting for Qianming's grilled fish.

"I really envy your extraordinary encounter. An ordinary Great Venerable would not be able to try so many times to advance to the Saint Venerable realm."

"You need to use the forty-nine Great Daos to sublimate and forge the Great Dao Body. After reaching the Saint Venerable Realm, suppressing invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts will be a piece of cake." Qianming Grilled Fish glanced at Xu Chen.

"Only you could say such a thing. If any other alien race had said it, their true spirit wouldn't even be left as ashes."

Xu Chen glanced at Qian Ming. This old guy started talking about his good fortune right away. He wondered if he could have some fun in the future.

Upon hearing this, Qianming silently shut his mouth and handed the grilled fish to Xu Chen.

While enjoying the grilled fish, Xu Chen listened to Qian Ming recount the recent events that had occurred in the Star Sea Region.

"Two powerful figures at the Great Dao level attacked in the territory surrounding the Yu Shen Clan, and their power directly destroyed nearly half of the Yu Shen Clan's territory, killing one or two invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts." "The entire clan's combat strength has been greatly weakened, and it is estimated that it will not be long before other Saint Clans come to take advantage of the situation."

Xu Chen, who was eating grilled fish, looked up.

"How unlucky! I still have some unresolved grudges with the Yushin Clan."

"If you want to settle this score, hurry up. If you delay, the Yushen Clan might be swallowed up by other holy clans."

At this point, Qianming became interested.

"Should we go get revenge? I'll go with you and see if we can get something out of it."

“In the treasure vaults of most holy races, there are usually some good things.” Qianming’s eyes shone brightly.

"I'm not going. The important thing now is to guard my mind and break through to the Saint Venerable level."

"That little grudge is nothing; I can just send a clone over."

As Xu Chen spoke, he opened a spatial portal and summoned Da Xu and Er Xu.

Before long, three colossal, innate treasure warships, each spanning tens of millions of miles, flew towards the territory of the Divine Race.

Qianming, who was following Xu Chen, couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the dozen or so Great Dao Cannons of the Innate Treasure level on the Innate Treasure Warship.

"I provided the information, so can I get a share of the profits?"

Qianming huddled up to Xu Chen, rubbing her little hands together.

"I'll give you 20%~"

"Alright~" Qianming beamed with joy.

Eight thousand years later, the two Xu brothers returned home laden with three innate treasure warships.

Inside the secret realm of the innate treasure warship, Xu Chen and Qianming admired the spoils of war.

"When the two Xus and I arrived, the Yushen Clan was being besieged by the other two great holy clans."

"Although nearly half of the territory of the Divine Race was destroyed, its unique grand formation remained intact. The two great holy races had no good way to deal with it and could only launch a direct attack."

“I directly approached the Holy Lords of the two great Holy Clans and reached an agreement to split the profits 40/30.”

"The three innate treasure warships took over forty percent of the God Clan's treasure trove with just a few salvos," Da Xu said to Xu Chen.

"Thirty-seven innate supreme treasure-level spiritual objects and plants, twenty-nine innate supreme treasures, and thirty-two innate supreme treasure embryos."

"As for the remaining spiritual treasures, the acquired spiritual treasures are piled up in the treasure vault, and there are countless of them."

The secret realm was divided into a series of small worlds, each displaying a spiritual object and treasure of innate supreme value.

"Let's choose one~" Xu Chen said, looking at Qianming who was almost dizzy from looking at the options.

"Then I'm not welcome~"

Qianming immediately selected seven spiritual items, six supreme treasures, and six innate supreme treasure embryos.

"I will keep you informed of similar news in the future." Qianming couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"I intervened because of a karmic grudge against this clan. I would never do something like other clans taking advantage of my misfortune unless absolutely necessary," Xu Chen hurriedly reminded Qian Ming, who seemed inclined to cooperate.

"Don't worry, I'm only talking about those evil Holy Clan members. We're acting in the name of justice," Qianming said, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

Xu Chen, who was standing to the side, found it somewhat amusing.

Using the term "wicked and evil" to describe the alien races that were wiped out by humans is a lenient way of putting it.

"Tell me, which of the holy races hasn't committed countless evils?"

"Stop thinking about these things. Once you have too many of these things, they become less interesting."

Xu Chen looked at the innate treasure in the secret realm, but his face did not show much joy.

"You're a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of an starving man. You even think you have too many innate treasures!" Qianming's gaze was still lingering on the innate treasures in the secret realm.

"Alright, I've shared the benefits with you. I should go back and continue my breakthrough to Saint Venerable."

"Take care, and I wish you a speedy advancement to the Saintly Venerable realm."

A thousand lives waved goodbye.

The Star Sea Region where Xu Chen of the Daoist Sect is located.

When Xu Chen returned to the temple, he saw Xu Xuanshen and Xu Daojing.

"What are you two doing?"

“I couldn’t maintain my mental state while cultivating at the Yuanxin Dojo.”

“Going back is too troublesome. It’s better to stay in your temple for a while, Father, and continue cultivating after your mind has recovered,” Xu Xuan said. Xu Daojing nodded in agreement.

"It's rare to see such perseverance in your cultivation. Stay in the temple."

As Xu Chen spoke, he arrived at the deepest part of the temple, sat in the main seat, and entered the Holy White Space.

Within the Holy White Space, forty-nine kinds of sublimated Dao powers combine in groups of three to form a perfect closed loop of mutual generation and restraint.

These closed-loop paths of sublimation began to combine and condense into the body of the Great Dao.

Therefore, as the Great Dao Body was initially formed, a repulsive force that even Xu Chen could not control emanated from these closed loops of the Great Dao.

Xu Chen lost control for a moment and instantly turned into a blood mist and exploded again.

Once Xu Chen regained consciousness, he routinely summoned light and shadow to review the situation and begin the next attempt.

"I wonder if the powerful beings on the Great Dao can deduce the sublimated power of the Great Dao?"

"Ugh, this is too difficult."

Over the years, Xu Chen has been experimenting with various processes in the Holy White Space to condense the power of the Great Dao into a Great Dao Body after sublimation.

However, its own combat strength began to improve in a strange way during these attempts.

The starry sea outside the temple where Xu Chen was located.

Xu Xuanshen and Xu Daojing, who were already at the peak of the Great Venerable Realm, joined forces to resist Xu Chen's half-power clone.

Even though it was only a half-powered clone, it was still overwhelming these two peak Grand Venerable experts.

The six Great Daos transformed into a giant millstone, and Xu Daojing and Xu Xuanshen, powerless to resist, fell into it and turned to dust.

The dream reversed, and the two who were resurrected looked shocked, savoring the feeling of death they had just experienced.

"I was just being a smart aleck!" Xu Xuanshen wished he could slap himself. Feeling that he had advanced to the peak of the Great Venerable Realm, he thought he could challenge Xu Chen's combat power by one-tenth. To be on the safe side, he even called on his third brother.

As a result, the two faced off against Xu Chen's half-power clone and realized how terrifying their father was.

"Are you coming or not?"

A clone possessing half of Xu Chen's combat power stood in the void, looking at the two and laughing.

Regardless, her two sons were still commendable for their courage.

"Father, we give up!" the two pleaded.

"To be able to reach this level with only half of my combat power, your combat strength is acceptable, but it still needs to be improved."

"Next, I will continue to fight you. I will adjust my own skills and abilities to be the same as yours, and then fight the two of you. I will show you how far your strength can go."

Xu Chen, disguised as a combat clone, described the changes in his aura, eventually transforming into an existence comparable to Xu Xuanshen.

"Then please continue to instruct us, Father."

Seeing this, Xu Xuanshen and Xu Daojing could not let such a good opportunity pass by. The two joined forces again and attacked Xu Chen's half-power clone.

Xu Chen sat at the temple entrance, watching his battle avatar fight his two sons in the distance, a satisfied smile on his face. (End of Chapter)
