Chapter 373: Retreat, Small Heavenly Dao Formation
"These things are a little short, and we need to add some quotas for various secret realms of our sect."
"We are all neighbors, so it's okay to be generous." Xu Chen waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Junior Grandmaster." Elder Xuanxian nodded, carefully picked up the teacup and took a sip. An expression of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face. This cup of tea was equivalent to his five years of hard work in enlightenment.
The disciples' exchange conference lasted for half a month. Xu Chen changed his appearance and walked in the square, watching the disciples from various sects fighting each other.
"It seems that it is not my turn to take action."
Among the top 1000 strongest disciples, almost % are disciples of the Daxi Sect, so it is not Xu Chen’s turn to take action at all.
Daxi Sect, Reception Hall.
Yang Wanshan brought Xu Chen to entertain the elders from the other eighteen sects.
"Young Master Yang, I guess the person next to you is your junior fellow apprentice." A Xuanxian elder from the Lihuo Sect couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Xu Chen stood up.
"Greetings, senior."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. You are the junior master of Daxi Sect, and we are of the same generation. I don't dare to call myself a senior." The elder of Lihuo Sect waved his hands and said, he came here to ask for a favor, how could he put on the airs of an elder.
The elders from other sects also dealt with each other and wanted to interact with Xu Chen's peers.
"You are all elders from various sects. Now it is convenient for you to interact with each other. We should have more exchanges between our sects in the future." Yang Wanshan began.
"Of course. Communication was inconvenient and transmission was expensive before."
“But it’s easy now. We will be neighbors from now on.” The other elders said one after another.
Xu Chen sat next to Yang Wanshan, and felt a little bored watching his senior brother communicating with the elders openly and covertly.
He stood up, said goodbye to Yang Wanshan and the elders of each sect and left.
According to Yang Wanshan, just show up once and let the elders of each sect remember you.
As soon as Xu Chen returned to the cave, he saw a group of alien puppets in the Guixu realm, repairing the flowers, plants and trees in the cave.
"Master, this is a puppet created by Da Xu."
"Also, Da Xu asked you to go to his place."
In the deepest corner of the cave, a nest 300 feet high and feet in diameter appeared in front of Xu Chen.
"What the hell is this?"
"An insect nest?" Xu Chen was stunned.
"Almost, but it can't evolve." Da Xu walked out of the insect nest.
"Take a look. This is my research over the past hundred years."
"The Daoqi Barracks can automatically make puppets, collect spiritual ore materials and then transport them back to the Insect Nest to make puppets."
At this time, many strange-looking insect puppets flew out from the insect nest.
"Currently, we can only make these three types of puppets, mining."
Da Xu pointed at one of the small black snakes that was five meters long and covered with spikes.
"It specializes in mining. After swallowing spiritual ore, it can automatically refine it. Don't look at its small size now. After swallowing a lot of spiritual ore, it can grow to a hundred feet. After returning to the insect nest, it will unload and return to its original size."
“This is a battle.”
Da Xu pointed to a combat puppet that was as big as a giant bear.
"Three monks who are willing to risk their lives to reach the immortal realm."
Then he pointed to a group of humanoid puppets of various colors.
"Five Elements Puppet, can skillfully use various five elements magical powers and spells."
“In the future, if you encounter a large mineral vein in the sea area of the Star Sea, just place a puppet barracks there and don’t worry about it.” Da Xu clapped his hands.
Xu Chen looked at the puppet barracks in front of him.
"This thing is a little easier to deal with. When I embark on the path of immortality in the future, you can refine immortal weapons, but I can't afford to support you."
"How could that be? It's as if I can't earn resources."
“When the time comes, design a few more best-selling magic weapons. Once the production line is started, magic weapon-level spiritual ores will not be a problem.” Big Xu waved his hand.
"So, hurry up and practice, and embark on the path of immortality as soon as possible."
Xu Chen glanced at Da Xu.
"Okay, you've got me pumped up."
"After a while, I will go into seclusion again until I reach the peak of the fairyland."
"That's fine. I'm almost numb just from refining the Dao weapon."
Da Xu slowly returned to the insect nest with many puppets.
At this time, Yang Wanshan appeared in Xu Chen's cave.
"Have you dealt with that group of elders?" Xu Chen walked over and asked.
"The goal has been preliminarily achieved." Yang Wanshan said.
"You want to swallow up those 18 sects. What can the great elders and masters of the major sects do then?" Xu Chen couldn't help but say.
Before entertaining the elders, Yang Wanshan bluntly told Xu Chen his thoughts.
"If you boil a frog in warm water, you will succeed naturally if you spend more time and energy."
"When the time comes, our Daxi Sect will have to leave the human territory and establish its own sect."
"Of course we need to bring a few more Xuanxian worlds. Those sects are just incidental." Yang Wanshan grinned.
"By the way, I just received news from the Human Emperor Temple."
"The Broken Zone has dissipated, and a fleet from the Temple of the Human Emperor is heading back with more than 300 small worlds."
"More than 300 hours, it seems that those supervisors have done a lot of things over the years!"
Xu Chen was shocked. Most of the small worlds in the broken areas he brought back were filled with spiritual ores.
"These Taoist-grade spiritual ores are estimated to be enough for our Daxi Sect to consume for tens of thousands of years."
"When we come back, we must reward those immortal realm supervisors."
"It's time to reward them properly." Xu Chen said as he looked at the balance of his human contribution points.
"Based on the size of the contribution, the maximum reward is 1. I will donate 1000 million contribution points to the sect."
"I will accept the human contribution points you sponsored."
"I won't ask you to pay it back, so feel free to use it." Xu Chen smiled and waved his hand.
Now the Daxi Sect has just paid back the contribution points for resurrecting the Grand Elder, and it is a poor time.
"Brother, I plan to continue my retreat until I reach the Immortal Realm and then come out."
"How long will it take?" Yang Wanshan asked first.
"About 200 years, 300 years at most."
"Retreat with peace of mind, and leave the outside affairs to me."
Yang Wanshan gave Xu Chen a look that said "don't worry".
"When you come out of seclusion, I will make sure you see a stronger Daxi Sect."
"Haha, I always believe in my brother's ability."
After the two senior brothers chatted for a while, they called Xu Xiyue over.
The three of them had a meal and then went to pay a visit to Zhong Wuyou together.
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, both of you are almost on the path to immortality."
Zhong Wuyou looked at Yang Wanshan and Xu Chen with emotion.
"Xu Chen, my good disciple, please go into seclusion."
"I, the master, also need to go into seclusion, to avoid being surpassed by the three of you later."
Yang Wanshan waved his hand and the three of them left.
Xu Chen returned to the cave and began to retreat.
"It's starting to get hard again."
Time goes by and years pass by.
249 years have passed since Xu Chen went into seclusion.
The Great Venerable's soul formation has completely controlled the entire Xuanxian world.
The massive amount of human contribution points that Daxi Sect obtains every year are all invested in the sect.
The entire Daxi Sect is developing rapidly.
All the disciples that Xu Chen brought back have now reached the immortal realm. Some of the most gifted have even embarked on the path to immortality.
In a fairy-like cave.
Three huge Dantian worlds appeared behind Xu Chen.
The surface of the Dantian world is covered with Taoist characters, and fairy light flows between the characters.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes and put away the Dantian world floating behind him.
"Finally, I have reached the Immortal Realm, and my great magical power, the Mysterious Emperor Saint Soul, has also been cultivated to perfection below the Immortal Path."
"Now, all that's left is to survive the heavenly tribulation, push open the gate to immortality, and embark on the path to immortality."
Xu Chen looked up at the sky with deep eyes.
When he first started his retreat, his cultivation went smoothly, but after the third Dantian world expanded to 3 feet, bottlenecks began to appear frequently.
At the beginning, Xu Chen could still rely on his own breakthroughs, but as time went on, the bottleneck became more and more serious.
Sometimes it takes years to break through a bottleneck.
Xu Chen had to refine the corresponding elixir to help himself break through the bottleneck.
"In order to cultivate to perfection in the immortal realm, I'm almost becoming a medicine jar." Xu Chen let out a long breath, and bursts of elixir fragrance emanated from his body.
"Xiaoguang, how long have I been in seclusion?" Xu Chen asked casually.
"Master, you have been in seclusion for 249 years."
Xiaoguang's voice sounded.
"As expected, time does not count in practice. This should be the longest period of seclusion I have had in recent years."
Xu Chen stretched his body, and his blood vessels and bones began to tremble.
"Master, this Xuanxian world has been covered by the Small Heavenly Dao Formation. Are you allowing me to access the Small Heavenly Dao Formation?" Xiaoguang asked.
"Please plug it in."
Xu Chen thought about it for a moment and realized that the Small Heavenly Dao Formation was the formation with the soul of the Great Venerable as the core.
As he connected to the Small Heavenly Dao Formation, Xu Chen clearly felt some changes in the cave.
"Master, you are the owner of the highest authority of the Small Heavenly Dao Formation, and your cave is qualified to be injected with the origin of the Great Dao."
Xiaoguang explained before Xu Chen asked.
"So that's how it is. When was this small Heavenly Dao formation completely covered?" Xu Chen asked curiously.
"A hundred years ago, you were practicing to break through the bottleneck and I didn't dare to disturb you." Xiaoguang said.
Xu Chen nodded slightly, then asked Xiaoguang to remove the formation that sealed the cave and walked out of the cave.
As soon as I left the cave, a pure spiritual energy comparable to that of the Human Emperor City rushed towards me.
"The spiritual energy level has been raised, although the previous one was not bad either."
Xu Chen looked up at the sky, only to see that the spiritual liquid river that originally crisscrossed the sky had disappeared.
In the distance, there seems to be a huge peak connecting to the sky.
Xu Chen took a closer look and discovered that it was a huge circular waterfall with endless spiritual liquid hanging from the sky.
"Junior brother, congratulations on coming out of seclusion!"
Not far away, the power of space was surging, and Yang Wanshan, dressed in a white robe, walked out and looked at Xu Chen with a smile on his face.
Xu Chen looked at Yang Wanshan and felt the fluctuations of the immortal way coming from him, and his expression suddenly became complicated.
“I wanted to wait for my junior brother, but I accidentally had a breakthrough while practicing thirty years ago.” Yang Wanshan said apologetically.
"Brother, you don't have to wait for me. We are taking different routes."
"The faster you practice, the better."
"Brother, as soon as I came out of seclusion, I have already cultivated to the peak of the immortal realm."
"It's just right for us two brothers to have a sparring match."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wanshan's expression changed slightly.
At this time, Xu Chen had appeared beside Yang Wanshan and patted him on the shoulder.
Thousands of virtual worlds descended, and Xu Chen's strength increased suddenly, directly suppressing Yang Wanshan.
"Junior brother, I haven't practiced for a long time. Why don't I find you some disciples who have embarked on the immortal path to practice with you?" Yang Wanshan had a bad premonition.
"Brother, come here, I'll show you the results of my years of seclusion."
Daxi Sect, a mysterious realm of illusion.
The two figures fought fiercely.
A blue dragon condensed by the power of immortality fights with its true body refined by the stars.
Although Canglong is the strongest, he cannot suppress Xingchen's true body.
"Cut the world!"
A blade of light condensed from the stars seemed to cut the entire world apart.
"boom!!"
The blue dragon split into two halves, revealing Yang Wanshan's true form.
Yang Wanshan quickly formed seals with his hands, and a black dragon image appeared behind him.
"Destroy!"
I saw a dragon claw grabbing towards Xu Chen, and the surrounding space was sealed.
"Brother, you are stronger than I thought."
The power of the Holy Sun ignites from the body of the Star Body Refining Dharmakāya.
With one blow, he shattered the dragon claw and defeated Yang Wanshan's real body.
The battle is over.
"If senior brother could reach a higher level, he might be able to suppress me." Xu Chen said with a smile.
"I'll use the Earthly Realm to pressure you to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Tell me whether I still want to save my face or not."
"Come on, I'll take you to see the changes in the sect over the years."
A spiritual boat slowly flew over the Daxi Sect.
“After paying off the contribution points of the human race for saving Master, the sect is developing faster and faster.”
"We recruit a new batch of disciples every five years. Now, we have more than one billion disciples."
"Now, there are more than 500,000 disciples in the sect who have embarked on the path of immortality."
"Especially after the Small Heavenly Dao Formation covered the entire Xuanxian World, the rate of increase was even faster."
The spirit boat flew over the large lake of spirit liquid in the center of the sect.
"Combined with your previous Dao weapon, plus the small Heavenly Dao formation."
"Now the spiritual energy of our entire Xuanxian world has been raised to a higher level. The spiritual energy in the sect is comparable to that of the Human Emperor City, and only slightly behind that of the Nine Emperor City."
As he spoke, a red light flew over from afar, landed on the spirit boat and turned into Xu Xiyue.
"Brother, you finally came out of seclusion." Xu Xiyue said happily.
“After reaching the immortal realm, you cannot face the heavenly calamity in the cave.” Xu Chen smiled and rubbed Xu Xiyue’s head, and sensed Xu Xiyue’s cultivation level.
"Yes, you have also advanced to the Immortal Realm. Your foundation is quite solid." Xu Chen nodded slightly.
"Of course. It doesn't matter whose sister I am." Xu Xiyue said proudly.
At this time, in the distant sky, a thousand-foot-long immortal boat suddenly appeared and flew towards the center of the Spirit Liquid Lake.
"What is this?" Xu Chen asked curiously.
"These are the bodies of the Golden Immortals that we collected from outside. They have been put into the core of the Small Heavenly Dao Formation for refining."
“We can extract the essence of the Dao from the corpses of the Golden Immortal Realm and strengthen our Daxi Sect’s Xuanxian world.” Yang Wanshan explained.
"Then when can we advance to the Golden Immortal World?" Xu Chen recalled the content of his previous conversation with Yang Wanshan.
"It's still early. According to the calculations of the spirit of the Small Heavenly Dao Formation, more than 900 complete Golden Immortal Realm corpses are needed."
"Now, a complete Golden Immortal Realm corpse requires 200 million contribution points. Some large and special races even require tens of millions of human contribution points."
"So expensive!!" Xu Chen was shocked when he heard the price.
"To obtain the complete body of a Golden Immortal Realm expert, at least a Daluo Realm expert is needed. A stronger Golden Immortal might even require a Great Venerable."
“The Small Heavenly Dao Formation will not absorb those broken Golden Immortal Realm corpses.”
"The most important thing is that even if you have contribution points, you can't buy it." (End of this chapter)
