Chapter 161: Rewards From The Great Dao Journey

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Xuan was overjoyed when he saw Hong Yuanchu agree. The circle of communication within the Origin Dao Crystal was finally about to expand.

Furthermore, Hong Yuanchu would be able to verify his status as a big shot in the same realm as him.

With that, as a big shot in the same realm as Hong Yuanchu, would it not be easy for him to trick other Dao realm experts into joining?

Furthermore, after his divine soul journeyed through the Great Dao, his strength would definitely soar.

It would not be long before he broke through to the Dao realm.

He raised his hand and took out a Dao aura ball from the Origin Dao Crystal, handing it over to Hong Yuanchu.

As long as he injected his aura into this Dao aura ball, the Origin Dao Crystal would be able to use this Dao aura ball to record his Dao aura.

Hong Yuanchu put away the Dao aura ball. It was rare for him to meet someone of the same cultivation level, so he could not wait to discuss the Dao with him.

Recently, he had encountered some hindrances whileopening his Dao path, so he was unable to continue moving forward.

He urgently needed to gain new insights and inspiration.

Of course, he did not ask these questions right off the bat. It would make him seem too anxious, and he would be looked down upon by the other party.

"Daoist Brother, where are you going?"

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "I'm taking a walk through the Great Dao. It's been a long time since I've come to take a look."

Then, he continued, "The Great Dao is invisible, but there's a scenery here that everyone wants to see. Take a walk and see more of it. You'll gain new insights."

He could sense that this fellow, Hong Yuanchu, had encountered a bottleneck and wanted to discuss the Dao with him to gain inspiration.

"Daoist Brother, you are right."

Hong Yuanchu sighed. Ever since he started opening his Dao path, he had been obsessed with it. He had never really walked around inside the Great Dao.

Perhaps, if he walked around and took a look, he would gain new insights?

He suddenly felt enlightened.

"I was too obsessed with opening the Dao path. My obsession caused me to fall into a rut."

Hong Yuanchu sighed and said, "Back then, the thirty-six levels of the Dao realm were like thirty-six mountains. Each mountain was taller than the one before it. In order to climb them, I had to rack my brains and comprehend a hundred different lives. Some might even have to reincarnate and cultivate for another lifetime."

"After going through many difficulties, I finally reached the peak of the mountain and stepped into the Daoyuan realm. Unfortunately, I became confused and fell into a rut. Fortunately, Daoist Brother has enlightened me."

Chu Xuan listened silently. Based on Hong Yuanchu's lamentation, he learned some new information about the Dao realm.

The Dao realm was divided into thirty-six levels, which were also compared to thirty-six mountains. Each level was a world of difference.

Only after passing the thirty-six levels or, in other words, climbing the thirty-six mountains, could one step into the Daoyuan realm.

More specific information was still needed for him to fully understand the Dao realm.

Perhaps he would only understand the secrets of the thirty-six levels of the Dao realm after reaching it.

"Each level in the Dao realm is more difficult than the last, and opening the Dao path is a hundred times more difficult. The Great Dao is endless, and we still need to search for our own paths bitterly."

Chu Xuan also sighed with emotion.

"Yes."

Hong Yuanchu agreed very much.

"We call the thirty-six levels of the Dao realm the thirty-six mountains, and each mountain is taller than the last. Each level is a hundred times more difficult to break through than simply reaching the Dao realm…"

Looking back, Hong Yuanchu sighed with emotion.

Back then, there were many people in the Dao realm, whether they were good friends, enemies, or even Dao partners.

In the end, he was the only one who managed to step into the Daoyuan realm by relying on his great perseverance and great fortune.

The rest of them struggled bitterly in the Dao realm and even perished.

Chu Xuan nodded and sighed as well. In reality, he did not feel any emotion at all.

After all, it took him less than ten years to cultivate from the mortal realm to the Heaven realm.

Furthermore, he became stronger by simply staying home.

How could he possibly understand how difficult it was to cultivate?

It was about time for them to say their goodbyes.

Chu Xuan was worried that his divine soul would suddenly return when the reward duration was up, which would trigger some doubts on Hong Yuanchu's side.

Thus, he bade him goodbyes and left.

Hong Yuanchu did not try to persuade him to stay.

The doubts in his heart had already been answered.

However, when he saw Chu Xuan walking through the Great Dao with a carefree look on his face, he was astonished.

The other party was much stronger than he was.

He was still unable to walk through the Great Dao with such ease.

Furthermore, he could not stay for too long.

Only when Chu Xuan's figure disappeared into the distance did he retract his gaze.

"Another Daoyuan will soon end. The great tribulation of Daoyuan will then descend upon us. There should be Heaven's blessed in the nine zones who will obtain great fortune and fight for the next Daoyuan's great opportunities to become the next Daoyuan's Law Creators."

Hong Yuanchu muttered to himself, "How many Dao realm cultivators will be affected by the great tribulation of this Daoyuan and die? Who will be able to become Law Creators of the next Daoyuan?"

When he thought about this, he could not help but sigh.

He had once opened a Dao path at the end of the previous Daoyuan and participated in the creation of the laws of the previous Daoyuan. The long years of the previous Daoyuan had already ended, and now this Dao Yuan was reaching its end.

If one did not enter the Daoyuan realm, they would not be able to escape the Great Daoyuan Tribulation. There was a risk of dying in the Great Tribulation.

Chu Xuan did not know about the Great Daoyuan Tribulation. However, when he learned that this Daoyuan was reaching its end, he had a premonition that something big would definitely happen.

It was just like how a dynasty at its end would definitely descend into chaos, and the people there would suffer as they tried their best to survive the ensuing upheaval.

After leaving Hong Yuanchu, Chu Xuan continued to walk through the Great Dao, continuously comprehending the Great Dao.

No method of comprehending the Great Dao would allow him to personally walk through the Great Dao, but this system reward did.

This was a great opportunity.

During this "tour" of the Great Dao, Chu Xuan had obtained a huge harvest. The first thing he learned was the division of levels in the Dao realm, as well as above the Dao realm.

It was also the final known realm of cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Chu Xuan felt that the Origin Dao Crystal had already reached the critical point of the first stage of its transformation process.

He stored it back into his divine soul.

As he continued to walk through the Great Dao, he did not encounter a second pathfinder other than Hong Yuanchu.

Suddenly, he felt a strong pulling force covering his divine soul.

When he regained his senses, his divine soul had already returned to reality.

In that instant, Chu Xuan felt that his cultivation level had soared rapidly.

From the fifth level of the Heaven realm, it quickly rose to the sixth level, and showed no signs of stopping.

The Dao aura and Dao principles wrapped themselves around his soul, and the Indestructible Chaos Body also continuously absorbed the Dao aura.

It was in the process of being upgraded.

The Origin Dao Crystal was also emitting a hazy brilliance.

Chu Xuan placed the Origin Dao Crystal back into the pocket dimension.

When the Origin Dao Crystal returned, the pocket dimension rumbled and began its own upgrade process.

It was filled with the Dao aura, and its Great Dao became more evident.

The ordinary tree grew again.

The other heavenly materials and earthly treasures grew as well, and many of them were filled with Dao aura.

On the mountain where the ordinary tree was, many plants and animals had undergone further transformation. Dao aura filled the air, and the dense Dao intent was transformed into a Dao tree.

The heavenly materials and earthly treasures on the mountain had all become Dao fruits.

There was now a forest of Dao fruits here.

As the pocket dimension upgraded, Buddha Nanwu started to break through to the Divine realm under the influence of the Dao aura.

Su Xian'er, Xiang Xing, and Chu Yun all obtained significant gains.

Chu Xuan was busy, so he waved his hand to absorb a strand of Dao aura and sent it into Chu Pingfan's body in the universe space.

Boom!

His body rumbled, and the Indestructible Chaos Body became even stronger.

His divine soul had completed its transformation.

His cultivation level was still improving and, in the blink of an eye, he was already at the eighth level of the Heaven realm.

Chu Xuan closed his eyes slightly as he examined his gains from this "tour" through the Great Dao, and the changes brought about by the increase in his cultivation level.

Boom!

Ninth level of the Heaven realm!

The momentum did not stop there.

At this moment, the spiritual power in his body began to transform. His domain power seemed to be fusing with the spiritual power in his body.

He was making a breakthrough to the Divine realm.

Chapter 162: Breaking Through To The Divine Realm, Stable Dao Principle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Divine realm involved yet another transformation of spiritual power and divine soul.

Chu Xuan's divine soul had already transformed, and it was different from an ordinary Divine realm cultivator's divine soul.

Now, all that remained was the transformation of his spiritual power.

The fusion of domain power and spiritual power, and his control over the laws of Heaven and Earth was further improved.

Moreover, as a Divine realm cultivator, he was granted the initial comprehension of Dao aura, and the ability to cultivate Dao aura.

That being said, Chu Xuan had already comprehended Dao aura long ago. He was different from other Divine realm cultivators. He did not lack comprehension. He was only lacking in terms of cultivation level.

The Divine realm was no longer about grasping the power of one's domain, but grasping the power of Heaven and Earth, and controlling the power of the laws of Heaven and Earth.

Like its namesake, it was like becoming the God of Heaven and Earth.

That was the Divine realm!

Chu Xuan's spiritual power was being transformed into divine power.

Rumble!

The transformation of spiritual power was completed. Chu Xuan felt that he had broken through a bottleneck, and had stepped into a new world.

He had succeeded in reaching the Divine realm!

After breaking through to the Divine realm, the increase in his cultivation level did not stop.

The gains he had gained from journeying through the Great Dao with his divine soul were too great, and he could not completely digest all of it within a short period of time.

Not only did the gains help him break through to the Divine realm, but they also helped him take a big step toward the Dao realm.

It was not an exaggeration to say that there were no more bottlenecks or barriers between the Divine realm and the Dao realm.

As long as he consolidated and solidified his cultivation foundation, he would be able to break through naturally.

This was the true harvest he had gained by journeying through the Great Dao with his divine soul.

It was difficult to reach the Dao realm!

Those who could cultivate to the Dao realm had all gone through various twists and turns, and had undergone long periods of tempering and comprehension..

However, Chu Xuan had directly skipped this.

If news of this were to spread out, countless Dao realm experts would cry until they had no tears left to cry. They would throw their heads back in grief and howl wildly, cursing the Great Dao for being unfair!

Boom!

The second level of the Divine realm!

Divine realm cultivation was about transformation. Each breakthrough would result in a deeper comprehension of the Great Dao.

It involved the transformation and growth of one's divine power, and allowed the Divine realm cultivator a greater control over the power of Heaven and Earth.

Boom!

The third level of the Divine realm!

After breaking through to the third level of the Divine realm, the momentum of his consecutive breakthroughs gradually slowed to a halt.

However, the gains from journeying through the Great Dao had still not been completely digested.

Chu Xuan let out a long breath. He had made an unexpected breakthrough to the Divine realm so quickly.

Clenching his fist, he felt a brand new strength welling up within his body. He felt that he was invincible in this world. However…

He could not get ahead of himself!

He had to consolidate his cultivation and continue to grow his strength!

Chu Xuan kept reminding himself that, in the endless eons, and among the countless cultivators, he was only a shrimp in the wide ocean.

Ignoring Daoyuan realm cultivations like Hong Yuanchu, even Dao realm cultivators were enough for him to look up to.

The Dao realm was divided into thirty-six levels, with each level being greater and harder to achieve than the one before it.

It was said that breaking through each level was more difficult than the breaking through from the Heaven realm to the Divine realm, and the gradient of improvement was greater.

"You have broken through to the Divine realm and become the youngest Divine realm cultivator in history. You have been rewarded with a box of divine origin pills and the Stable Dao Principle."

The system's reward arrived as expected.

The youngest person to reach the Heaven realm in history was also the fastest person to reach the Divine realm in history.

Chu Xuan was feeling good about himself.

He also wanted to be the youngest person to reach the Dao realm in history!

"I want to set a record and have all of the future cultivators look up to me!"

Chu Xuan had great ambition.

The divine origin pill was the cultivation pill for Divine realm cultivators. There was no need to examine it.

Instead, he examined the "Stable Dao Principle".

Dao principles were a domain that only Dao realm cultivators could touch.

Dao realm cultivators cultivated Dao principles, and used these Dao principles to create their own Daos.

The system really understood me.

The Stable Dao Principle was, as its name implied, very stable.

Chu Xuan read through the description of the Dao principle.

"The Stable Dao Principle is stable, steadfast, and unyielding…"

After grasping the Stable Dao Principle, one would be as stable as a mountain and could not be moved. No attack could shake him.

Of course, this was relative to one's strength.

Simply put, the characteristic of the Stable Dao Principle centered around the word 'stable'.

Chu Xuan received the Dao principle reward.

Immediately, the Stable Dao Principle wrapped itself around his body as well as the Chaos Bell.

It gave him a sense of stability. He was now as stable as a mountain and would not panic in the face of danger. It was true to its name!

Chu Xuan was still unable to fully master this Dao principle, but he could constantly comprehend it and passively activate it.

Moreover, the Stable Dao Principle would still continue to grow with his comprehension of it, eventually becoming the Stable Great Dao.

However, this required one to reach the Dao realm in order to continue to comprehend and grow it. Chu Xuan, who was in the Divine realm, was unable to fulfill the requirements the Dao principle needed to grow.

After breaking through, Chu Xuan took out a bottle of Divine origin pills and poured them into his mouth. The Indestructible Chaos Body quickly refined the medicinal pills, consolidating his Divine realm cultivation foundation.

He looked at the pocket dimension. The world inside the pocket dimension had now completed its upgrade.

The mountainous region where the ordinary tree was had given birth to first-grade Dao fruits and heavenly material and earthly treasures.

Chu Xuan waved his hand and turned this region into a forbidden area.

Without his permission, no one could enter.

Apart from the increased spiritual power, the pocket dimension was already suffused with an extremely weak Dao aura. Moreover, its size had expanded by more than ten times.

It had already surpassed the acreage of the Northern Zone.

The pocket dimension had endless potential, and Chu Xuan was confident that as it continued to receive upgrades, the world inside would eventually become a world that surpassed the nine zones.

This huge harvest was a result of Mo Luantian's efforts. Oh, wait, he should now be called a Demon Buddha.

Chu Xuan was looking forward to what kind of rewards he would bring in the future.

In the pocket dimension, Buddha Nanwu was still in the process of breaking through.

Under normal circumstances, this would have taken him a few years, or even more than ten years, to complete.

This whole process had been accelerated by the addition of the Dao aura to the pocket dimension and its upgrade.

When Chu Xuan saw this, he threw a bottle of divine origin pills over to Buddha Nanwu, which would help him break through even faster.

"Thank you, Buddha!"

Buddha Nanwu put his palms together and thanked him.

He then thought of his in-name disciple, Ren Changhe, who was still in the process of breaking through to the Divine realm. Now that he had divine origin pills, it was time to help him break through quickly.

He took out the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and connected it to Ren Changhe.

"Greetings, Master!"

Ren Changhe bowed respectfully.

Chu Xuan took a quick look. Ren Changhe was just a tiny step away from breaking through to the Divine realm.

Even without the help of the divine origin pills, he would definitely break through within ten years.

Chu Xuan waved his hand and sent over a bottle of divine origin pills.

Chu Xuan was in a good mood now, so he was naturally more generous. After breaking through to the Divine realm, it was time to show his generosity as a master.

"These divine origin pills can help you break through. You can also use them to cultivate once you reach the Divine realm."

Given Ren Changhe's current situation, one divine origin pill would be enough to help him break through.

The remaining pills would help him increase his strength quickly.

"Thank you, Master!"

Ren Changhe was extremely excited.

He kneeled on the ground and kowtowed respectfully before receiving the pills.

Chu Xuan contacted Qin Ying again. This was the first time he met Qin Ying in such a long time.

The laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region were recovering faster, but Qin Ying's current strength had yet to reach the peak of the Emperor realm.

Since he was pretty happy right now, he would give Qin Ying two bottles of Emperor realm cultivation pills.

In any case, Emperor realm medicinal pills were no longer of any use to Chu Xuan.

"Greetings, Master!"

Qin Ying was very excited. She, or he, had finally met Chu Xuan again.

Now that there was a chance, it was time to ask him how to turn back into a man.

However, Chu Xuan did not give Qin Ying the chance to ask. He said, "Your cultivation is progressing somewhat slowly. I'll give you two bottles of medicinal pills."

As he said that, he transferred the Emperor realm cultivation pills over.

"Thank you, Master!"

Qin Ying was extremely excited. The pills that Chu Xuan had given were definitely not something that ordinary Emperor realm pills could compare to.

Chu Xuan did not wait for Qin Ying to continue speaking and abruptly deactivated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

Phew!

Chapter 163: Great Dao Communication Group

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After breaking through to the Divine realm, Chu Xuan's confidence had increased greatly.

Furthermore, he now had the Stable Dao principle. As he continued to comprehend it, his cultivation speed would advance by leaps and bounds. It would not take him many years to break through to the Dao realm.

It was time to fish out the true mastermind behind the Black Moon Tower.

The Heavenly Dao Talisman plan should also be implemented quickly.

Before the Asura Ancient Land opened, it had to cover the entire Northern Zone. Only then would he be able to spy on all of the forces in the Northern Zone and control their movements.

Chu Xuan looked at the Origin Dao Crystal.

The two soul puppets that were in the process of nurturing had completed their nurturing ahead of time because of the changes to the Origin Dao Crystal.

They had gained sentience.

With a wave of his hand, the two soul puppets flew over.

They transformed into two servants, a man and a woman.

They looked no different from actual human beings.

However, if one were to examine them carefully, one would still be able to discover telltale signs that they were not actually human.

"Greetings, my Lord!"

The soul puppets' consciousness, cultivation foundation, battle techniques, and so on were all nurtured by Chu Xuan's divine soul.

They were absolutely loyal to him, and he would not disobey him.

Moreover, the spiritual intelligence of the soul puppets was relatively simple, and nowhere close to that of an actual human being.

The two soul puppets both possessed the strength of a Divine realm cultivator, and they were equivalent to ordinary second-level Divine realm experts.

"Your name is Chu Yi, and your name is Chu Er."

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and gave the two soul puppets a name.

The male was Chu Yi, and the female was Chu Er.

"Chu Yi greets the lord."

"Chu Er greets the lord."

"Go to the trial mystic realm."

Chu Xuan waved his hand and allowed the soul puppets to enter the trial mystic realm to increase their combat experience. After training in the trial mystic realm, the soul puppets' agility and adaptability in combat would increase.

Training there would also further increase their battle awareness and their ability to deal with dangerous situations.

There were two people in the Origin Dao Crystal group chat. One was a true big shot, an existence that surpassed the dao realm, Hong Yuanchu.

The other was Dao realm Ying Kong.

Chu Xuan did not know which level of the Dao realm Ying Kong was in, but judging from Ying Kong's performance, it should not be too high.

Perhaps he could start with Ying Kong and learn more about Dao Yuan and Dao realm through him.

He would test him using the identity of a senior.

First, he would introduce primordial chaos and let Ying Kong know that there was a big shot in the circle of communication that he looked up to.

And he had a higher status than this big shot.

With that, he could easily fool Ying Kong.

In the Origin Dao Crystal, they could send messages, just like a group chat. Chu Xuan said first, "Ying Kong, let me introduce you to fellow Daoist Hong Yuanchu. Fellow Daoist Hong has already persisted for two Daoyuan and has opened two Dao paths."

Ying Kong was already aware that there was an additional person in this mysterious circle of communication, but he did not dare to greet the other party first.

He was waiting for Chu Xuan to introduce him.

Hong Yuanchu?

This name sounded somewhat familiar.

Ying Kong's expression suddenly changed, and he muttered to himself, "Hong Yuanchu? Could it be that legendary existence?"

"He has been around for two Daoyuan, and has opened two Dao paths… who else could it be other than him?"

Daoyuan realm, the legendary Daoyuan realm!

This was a super big shot.

Even many Dao realm experts worshiped this existence.

"Ying Kong greets Senior Hong!" Ying Kong said respectfully.

In order to show his respect, he even used his Dao aura to condense a human figure, which prostrated itself on the ground. This image was transmitted through the Origin Dao Crystal.

Chu Xuan took a look and, once he saw that Ying Kong was behaving so respectfully, he knew that the other party had heard of Hong Yuanchu's great name.

"Young friend Ying, thank you for your greetings. Thank you for your introduction, Daoist Brother Chu," Hong Yuanchu replied.

Ying Kong?

He had never heard of him before. He should be a nobody.

Still, no matter what the reason was, Ying Kong was able to enter a group formed by Chu Xuan's Great Dao treasure, which was considered a fortuitous encounter. He could be considered a fated person, so his cultivation level was not too important.

When one's strength reached Hong Yuanchu's realm, only fate mattered, not cultivation level.

Ying Kong's heart thumped. This was not good. The mighty and virtuous Senior Chu was actually a Daoseeker too. Even Senior Hong Yuanchu had to treat him with respect.

He recalled that he did not seem to be as respectful to him as he had beento Senior Hong Yuanchu.

In a panic, he condensed another human figure and bowed. He said, "Thank you, Senior Chu, for introducing Senior Hong to Little Ying!"

He had to be humble!

He had to be respectful!

This was a super big shot. It was his greatest opportunity.

"You are too polite, Little Ying."

Ying Kong was really a tactful person. He had changed his own form of address to Little Ying to indicate the other two members' seniority.

Chu Xuan felt that it was easier to trick Ying Kong.

"Little friend Ying, how is your cultivation? What level of the Dao realm are you at?" Chu Xuan asked.

Ying Kong's heart skipped a beat and he started to panic.

Could it be that he was not worthy of being here because his cultivation level was too low?

Should he lie?

On second thought, lying in front of such a big shot would be akin to courting death.

He was deeply worried and afraid of being expelled.

"Little Ying is stupid. I have cultivated for close to one Daoyuan, but am only at the third level of the Dao realm."

The third level of the Dao realm was indeed the one of the weakest among the thirty-six levels of the Dao realm…

And Ying Kong had actually cultivated for close to one Daoyuan?

How many years was one Daoyuan?

Chu Xuan did not know much about this, so he could only suppress his curiosity for now. He would wait for the right opportunity to seek answers and find out.

"Above average, not bad," Hong Yuanchu said.

Then he said, "Daoist Brother Chu, how about I invite people to join us right now?"

"Sure!"

Chu Xuan was overjoyed. This big shot Hong Yuanchu was indeed well-connected.

Then, he said, "Our communication circle uses the Great Dao as a medium, so why don't we call it the Great Dao Communication Group?"

"Great Dao Communication Group? That's perfect," Hong Yuanchu agreed.

Soon, a few different Dao auras were absorbed by the Origin Dao Crystal.

Then, Hong Yuanchu began to introduce the newcomers.

"This is Fellow Daoist Kun He. He has opened one Dao path and has been around for one Daoyuan."

"This is Fellow Daoist Ruo Xian. He has opened one Dao path and has been around for nearly two Daoyuan. He's from the same generation as me."

Apart from these two Daoyuan realm cultivators, there were also a few Dao realm cultivators.

Shu Yang, thirtieth level of the Dao realm. He was a close friend of Hong Yuanchu.

Piao Ruoyun, Hong Yuanchu's disciple, twenty-ninth level of the Dao realm.

Wu Fangcun, Hongyuan Chu's disciple, twenty-eighth level of the Dao realm.

Xi Xuan, Ruo Xian's Dao realm disciple, twenty-sixth level of the Dao realm.

Among these, Ruoxian, Piao Ruoyun, and Xi Xuan were all women.

Ying Kong was so scared that he did not dare to speak.

Within this Great Dao Communication Group, he was the most trashy.

Chu Xuan exchanged greetings with the two Daoyuan realm cultivators, while Hongyuan Chu and Ruoxian's disciples bowed to him respectfully.

After getting familiar with each other, Chu Xuan made an excuse to leave the group chat.

He was afraid that if he chatted too much, he might stumble upon an intellectual blind spot, or be asked a difficult question, and would not know how to answer.

Therefore, at this stage, he tried his best to remain silent.

He was waiting for his strength to increase.

Furthermore, he was very curious as to where these Dao realm experts, as well as experts above the Dao realm were.

Of the nine zones, apart from the desolate ancient domain, the other eight would not contain Dao realm experts.

Were they beyond the nine zones?

Chu Xuan was more inclined to that notion.

After Ying Kong's initial fear subsided, he realized that this was a great opportunity to build relationships with many experts and resolve the doubts he had about his cultivation.

Therefore, after a day of silence, Ying Kong began to curry favor with the people in the group. The three Daoyuan realm experts did not speak much, so he did not dare to carelessly bother them.

Therefore, his target was Piao Ruoyun and the others.

After chatting and getting to know each other, Ying Kong had some gains. Some of his cultivation problems had been solved.

He became even more grateful to Chu Xuan, this mighty, immortal, holy, and most virtuous senior, for pulling him into the group.

Chapter 164: Good Luck Charm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Xuan entered a period of bitter cultivation, constantly comprehending the Stable Dao principles, and his strength increased rapidly.

However, he still needed some time to accumulate a sturdy cultivation foundation before he could break through to the Dao realm.

His comprehension was sufficient, but his accumulation was not enough.

Every day, as per usual, he took out the Dao-seeking Mirror and searched for Dao realm experts or supreme treasures or treasured lands related to the Great Dao.

Everyone in the Great Dao Communication Group was familiar with each other, so it was not very interesting there.

If one wanted to create an active chat group, they would need to bring people from all over, Dao realm experts from the different races. Only then would it be interesting.

Chu Xuan sighed. As the group leader, he had gone through a lot of trouble to put together this group chat.

Under the nurturing of the Dao auras of the three Daoyuan realm experts and the many Dao realm experts, the transformation of the Origin Dao Crystal was accelerating.

When it was further upgraded, it would be able to develop even more functions.

For example, he might be able to use the Origin Dao Crystal as a medium to send items through the Great Dao.

Chu Xuan even had a bold idea. With the Origin Dao Crystal as the foundation and the pocket dimension as the starting point, he would be able to open up a new Great Dao.

It would be on par with the Great Dao of today.

If his plan succeeded, he would definitely be able to surpass the Daoyuan realm in the future.

Half a month later.

Chu Xuan was cultivating when the system's reward suddenly arrived.

"Your disciple, Ding Yue, has obtained the recognition of the spirit of an earth vein, It has recognized him as its master. His cultivation level has soared, and his fate has been transformed. You have been rewarded with a good luck charm."

Oh?

Chu Xuan was stunned. Ding Yue had gotten the spirit of the earth vein to recognize him as its master, and his fate had been transformed?

He took out the Heaven-spying Mirror and connected it to Ding Yue's mark.

He discovered that Ding Yue had already left the ancient forbidden realm and was somewhere in the Southern Region that bordered the other regions.

In front of him, there was a small figure that was only one foot tall.

That was the spirit of the earth vein?

"Are you a man or a woman?" Ding Yue stared at the spirit of the earth vein and asked.

The spirit of the earth vein looked annoyed and said, "I don't have a gender. If you want me to be a man, then I'll be a man. If you want me to be a woman, then I'll be a woman."

"Let me think about it."

Ding Yue frowned and muttered, "If it's a woman and follows me, how can I have no woman in my heart and draw my sword to kill gods?"

"However, if I am resistant to it being a woman, it means that my sword heart is not perfect and I can't reach the realm of having no woman in my heart."

Thinking this, Ding Yue lowered his head and asked, "Can you be a man sometimes and a woman sometimes?"

"Or, when I want you to be a man, you'll be a man, and when I want you to be a woman, you'll be a woman."

The spirit of the earth vein: "…"

'Is he a lunatic?'

'What kind of weird request was this?'

'It's over!'

'My master is a lunatic!'

The spirit of the earth vein was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"I… I'll continue to be genderless."

"That works too."

Ding Yue agreed. He grabbed the spirit of the earth vein, placed it on his shoulder, and continued to move forward.

Chu Xuan shook his head. Ding Yue was hopeless.

He deactivated the Heaven-spying Mirror and received the system reward.

"Good luck charm. It allows you to change your luck and can control your luck…"

As expected of a system product.

The path of luck was extremely mysterious. It was hard to grasp, but it was real.

If one had good luck, one could change one's fate. Controlling one's fate was definitely a treasure.

Of course, if one wanted to change one's fate and control one's fate, even if one had good luck, one still needed to be strong enough.

The weaker one was, the weaker one's fate would be. The stronger one was, the stronger one's fate would be.

Chu Xuan continued to cultivate. At the same time, Xiang Xing was also working on the communication talisman for the Heavenly Dao plan, and making steady progress.

For the time being, the Black Moon Tower did not have any higher-ranked tower lords coming over. They were restricted by the major forces of the other regions.

However, the cross-region communication talismans had already been sold to the other regions. The major forces had all bought them.

Chu Xuan now had a good grasp of the information flow and plans of these major forces.

For example, a certain major force planned to ambush another certain force, etc…

As the sales of the communication talismans increased, and it was confirmed that the information would not be leaked, it became a must-have item for any Northern Zone faction and expert.

Especially for those who went on expeditions as a team, each of them would be equipped with a communication talisman.

Nowadays, communication talismans were sought after.

They were too popular.

Xiang Xing had also given a few methods of refining communication talismans to the Black Moon Tower. Some of the spies planted in the Black Moon Tower by some of the major forces had already secretly obtained one or two methods of refining communication talismans.

They felt that only those who refined their own communication talismans were truly safe!

Chu Xuan understood the thoughts of these major forces very well. They were all afraid that the communication talismans would have some sort of backdoor system and that the transmitted information would be stolen.

However, they did not know that even if they personally refined the communication talismans, they would still be unable to escape the control of the Heavenly Dao Talisman.

The first stage of the deploymentof the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan in the Northern Zone was complete.

Once people got used to using something, they would become dependent on it. The appearance of communication talismans made communication in the Northern Zone convenient. Moreover, the information transmitted was safe, so there was no need to worry about their messengers being intercepted halfway like before.

More importantly, the information was transmitted in real-time.

There was no time wasted.

Gradually, all sorts of missions and orders would be issued through the communication talisman.

This was especially true when situations changed and the missions needed to be changed.

Therefore, the actions of the various large factions and organizations would be no secret from Chu Xuan.

This was the crux of the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan!

Everything would be under the control of the Heavenly Dao Talisman, from which he could access any and all information he wanted or needed.

Obtaining information was only the first stage of the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan. The plan would progress further when the Heavenly Dao Talisman was further upgraded.

The Heavenly Dao Talisman would first cover the Northern Zone, then the other seven zones, and finally the entire nine zones.

Chu Xuan would occasionally learn some information about the Asura Ancient Land from the Heavenly Dao Talisman. Other than that, he did not pay much attention to the rest of the information being passed around.

The Heavenly Dao Talisman plan had just started, so he could not interfere too much. Otherwise, its secret would be exposed and be discovered.

Currently, Xiang Xing was in charge of the communication talisman portion of the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan. Chu Xuan felt that it was necessary to increase the number of people. They would be responsible for the operation of the Heavenly Dao Talisman and the tracking of information.

The soul puppets were a very good choice.

Su Xian'er would occasionally handle information, but that information was limited to documents and reports sent over by the Black Moon Tower. She had yet to come into contact with the Heavenly Dao Talisman.

The impact of the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan was too great. Other than Chu Xuan himself, no one else could know about it.

Fiddling around with the good luck charm, Chu Xuan suddenly had an idea. Su Xian'er hailed from the Central Region, but she was not the one who carried the fate of the Central Region.

Could he use the good luck charm to change Su Xian'er's fate and make her the daughter of the fate of the Central Region?

If he was successful, among the five regions of the Northern Zone, only the fated son of the Eastern Region would not belong to him.

Xiao Liang could be considered his disciple, although he did not have a master.

Chu Xuan decided to give it a try.

He activated the good luck charm, and a hazy light appeared. The mysterious charm floated out and landed on Su Xian'er.

Chu Xuan controlled the good luck charm. He wanted to strengthen Su Xian'er's fate and transform her into the fated daughter of the Central Region.

All of a sudden, he felt his divine power being consumed at a crazy rate. His divine soul power was also being consumed at the same rate. His power was being drained at a pace that was not much slower than when he used the Dao-seeking Mirror.

Chu Xuan was secretly shocked. Changing the bearer of fate of a region was too difficult.

In the end, Chu Xuan gave up. He could not afford to expend any more divine power and soul power. The difficulty was probably increased because the Central Region was the strongest region in the Northern Zone.

Chapter 165: Fate Suppressing Dao Cauldron

Although his efforts did not make Su Xian'er the daughter of the fate of the Central Region, it did change her fate for the stronger.

Su Xian'er was originally a person with great fate. Otherwise, she would not have been led to the small courtyard by the lucky mystic realm.

Putting away the good luck charm, Chu Xuan began to recover his divine power. He was curious. Who was the son of the fate of the Central Region?

An absurd thought appeared in his mind.

Could it be Su Xian'er's fiancé?

Su Xian'er escaped from the Central Region because of him. The reason was that the man she was forced to marry was ugly, had a bad personality, and a bad reputation.

"Are there ugly b*stards among the sons of fate?"

Chu Xuan fell into a state of deep thought.

Whether it was Ding Yue, Wang Luo, or Xiao Liang, none of them were ugly.

Sure, Xiang Xing had briefly been a skeleton monster. He was born with fire bones. However, after he recovered,his appearance was not ugly.

Could it be that Su Xian'er's fiancé was not really ugly?

"If it really is him, then things will be interesting."

Chu Xuan laughed in his heart. Given Su Xian'er's cultivation speed and the foundation she had, she was not at all inferior to a child of fate.

Moreover, she was his maidservant, so how could she lose to the child of fate of the Central Region?

Chu Xuan continued to cultivate. Every day, he would find time to use the Dao-seeking mirror to search for Dao realm experts.

After all, there were too few people in the Great Dao Communication Group. Moreover, most of them were acquaintances of Hong Yuanchu.

Ying Kong was the only stranger.

He was also the small fry in the group. He was the one with the weakest cultivation strength.

Ying Kong probably did not even dare to take a deep breath while he was chatting in the group.

Three days later, Chu Xuan was using the Dao-seeking Mirror to search for Dao realm experts.

Suddenly, the system's reward arrived.

"Your disciple, Wang Luo, acted pretentiously in the pill refinement competition of the Northern Region, stomping on the reputation of his enemies and shaking the Northern Region, improving his fate and confidence. You have been rewarded with the Fate Suppressing Dao Cauldron."

Hmm?

The Northern Region's pill refinement competition had finally come to an end?

Wang Luo had successfully shown off and stomped on the reputation of his enemies. Had he risen to power?

Chu Xuan put down the Dao-seeking mirror and took out the Heaven-spying mirror. He connected it to Wang Luo's mark.

In the image projection, Wang Luo was standing on the pill refining stage.

He was holding a heavenly pill in his hand!

With his emperor realm cultivation base, how could he not shock the Northern Region when he refined a heavenly pill?

There were many experts gathered around the pill refining stage. They were all the top experts of the Northern Region's major forces.

Among them, there was someone with a dark and ugly expression. Many experts threw mocking gazes at him.

That person was definitely an expert of the Wang family.

Wang Luo's act of showing off had indeed damaged the Wang family's reputation. Their prestige had been stomped on and their faces had been rubbed into the dirt.

"Patriarch Wang, I, Wang Luo, have no relationship with the Wang family. You don't have the right to order me around!"

"Right, little friend Wang is right. Your Wang family has already expelled him, so he's no longer a member of your Wang family."

An elder chuckled.

"Right, right. Little friend Wang is no longer a member of the Wang family."

The other experts agreed.

Patriarch Wang was so angry that his aura surged forth, and he looked like he wanted to kill someone.

"Patriarch Wang, this isn't the territory of your Wang family!"

A middle-aged man on the pill refining stage exuded a fierce aura as he locked onto Patriarch Wang.

"The rules of the Northern Region's pill refining competition can not be infringed upon!"

An expert from one of the pill refining sects in the Northern Region also spoke up in a solemn voice.

Patriarch Wang's heart trembled as several auras locked onto him. If he dared to make a move, these people would definitely not show mercy in order to rope in Wang Luo.

He was filled with regret. Wang Luo's talent for alchemy was actually so shocking.

Emperor realm cultivation, successfully refining a heavenly pill…

What kind of terrifying talent was this?

With his alchemy skill, countless experts who were stuck at the peak of the Supreme realm would beg him for assistance.

Even Heaven realm experts would treat him as a distinguished guest.

Moreover, it was almost certain that he would face no problems in breaking through to the Heaven realm.

The Wang family had suffered a grievous loss.

Moreover, after this incident, the Wang family would become the laughingstock of the Northern Region, or even the entire Northern Zone.

He knew that as long as Wang Luo remained alive, the Wang family would never be able to rise again.

As long as one was not a fool, the experts of the various large forces would know who to choose between Wang Luo and the Wang family.

This child must die!

The killing intent in Patriarch Wang's heart surged. He had made up his mind to find an opportunity to get rid of Wang Luo, this great scourge.

Chu Xuan did not continue to watch.

It was no surprise that the Wang family would try to make a move. Wang Luo naturally knew, and so did the other powers.

They would even encourage the Wang family to do so. When Wang Luo was in danger, they would intervene to save him. This way, they would be able to rope in Wang Luo.

Any faction that obtained a pill dao genius like Wang Luo would rapidly rise in strength.

For some experts who had been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time, this would be their best chance to befriend Wang Luo.

They needed some pills to increase their chances of breaking through.

After deactivating the Heaven-spying Mirror, Chu Xuan chose to receive the system reward.

The Dao Cauldron appeared in his hand. It was a small cauldron condensed from the Great Dao.

The Fate Suppressing Dao Cauldron!

"The Great Dao is intertwined. It can refine pills, refine everything, and suppress fate!"

It was a powerful fate-suppressing treasure.

It could be considered a timely find. Now, Chu Xuan had two fate-changing treasures in his hands.

One was to change fate, and the other was to suppress fate!

Chu Xuan became even more determined. As expected, children of fate needed to be allowed to roam freely in order for them to grow. Only then would it be easier for them to trigger the system rewards.

Xiang Xing's current strength was still low, and the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan could not do without him. Otherwise, Chu Xuan would have sent him out as well.

He still had too few disciples.

He had to find a few more disciples with great luck.

Chu Xuan was about to continue searching for Dao realm experts when Su Xian'er walked over with a strange expression.

"Sir, I don't know why, but I've been feeling a little uneasy these past two days. It's as if something is going to leave me."

Eh?

Chu Xuan raised his head and looked over. Su Xian'er was still incomparably beautiful and charming. There was a special aura about her.

However, at this moment, there seemed to be something lingering around her that was affecting her.

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered with golden light. Heavenly Golden Divine Eyes!

Fate!

Chu Xuan realized that Su Xian'er's fate had been affected by something unknown. It seemed like something was trying to weaken and steal her fate.

What was going on?

Chu Xuan did not know much about the Dao of fate.

Fate was extremely mysterious. Even Dao realm experts could not control it, nor could they probe too deeply into it.

Unless they were experts in the Dao of fate.

However, the Dao of fate was difficult to cultivate. For countless years, there had not been any experts in the Dao of fate who were able to succeed.

It was easy to get lost when one was cultivating the Dao of fate. In order to strengthen fate, one had to constantly change fate and interfere with fate. It was easy to suffer the backlash from the heavens.

This was also the reason why it was difficult to achieve great success in the Dao of fate.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly. Was it because he changed Su Xian'er's fate that she was seemingly suffering a backlash?

No, that was not right!

Changing fate as one wished was a path connected directly to the Great Dao. Even if there was a backlash, it should have affected him instead of her.

Then, there was only one possibility. Someone was scheming against Su Xian'er with the intention of snatching her fate.

One had to know that Su Xian'er was a person with great luck, and she possessed the Grand Moon Immortal physique. It was not easy to influence her fate.

Who exactly was behind this and what methods did they use to influence Su Xian'er?

Chu Xuan could guess what methods the other party used to influence Su Xian'er's fate.
