Chapter 406 An Unexpected Epiphany

Chapter 406 An Unexpected Epiphany

"It's a bit interesting, but it's not enough. Keep going!"

Xu Chen's voice rang out on the battlefield.

The clone escaped into the void and directly replaced the position of a small golden crow with a knife light.

In an instant, the entire battlefield turned into a bright light. Under the cover of the strong light, Xu Xiyue could vaguely see her own body.

The secret realm of the arena began to change, and Xu Xiyue reappeared in front of Xu Chen.

"Brother, my combat power is in the upper middle level in the sect." After a moment of silence, Xu Xiyue spoke.

"The upper and middle reaches should be OK."

"But she is my sister after all, so let's promote her a little bit."

Xu Chen in the distance said this while forming seals with his hands, and mobilized his mind to notify the spirit of the small Tiandao formation, and transferred a trace of the original energy of the Great Dao and injected it into the clone.

Then he made some minor adjustments to the clone.

The clone shrank into a one-inch-tall puppet and flew towards Xu Xiyue.

"With your current strength, if you exert it to its full potential, you should be able to defeat my clone at 1.7% of its strength."

"Hold the doll carefully, and you must play at least 10 games every day."

"I also saw the magical powers you displayed in the battle just now. When the time comes, I will refine a set of magical weapons tailored for you."

Xu Chen said this and took Xu Xiyue out of the secret realm of the arena.

"Brother, ten games are too many, less." Xu Xiyue looked at Xu Chen with tears in her eyes.

"I won't give you two less rounds. Eight rounds a day, until you defeat the puppet."

"I will replace your new doll with a new one when the time comes."

The corners of Xu Chen's mouth rose slightly. He had the most experience in improving combat power. After dying thousands or tens of thousands of times, his combat power could be improved unknowingly.

After hearing Xu Chen's words, Xu Xiyue seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother, can you change the appearance of this puppet?"

"Recently, many disciples of our sect have been sent to guard mines and secret areas outside the human territory. I want to go out and take a look as a disciple of the sect." Xu Xiyue looked at Xu Chen eagerly.

"Are you going out?"

Xu Chen's expression became serious, and Xu Xiyue suddenly became nervous.

"It's good to go out and have some training." Xu Chen's eyes became gentle as he looked at Xu Xiyue.

"When are you ready to leave?"

"Ten years later, there will be a change of defense there, and I will leave with the main force then."

"Okay, I'll probably be in seclusion at that time, so I won't see you off."

"Take care of your life over there." Xu Chen nodded.

When Xu Xiyue saw that Xu Chen agreed, she immediately became happy.

"Go see Mom and Dad before you leave."

"understood."

Xu Xiyue turned into a red light and disappeared into the sky.

"Hurry up and improve your combat power."

Thinking about what Xu Xiyue said about things outside the human territory, Xu Chen found Yang Wanshan.

Inside the spirit hall, Yang Wanshan frowned as he looked at the jade slip in his hand.

"What's wrong? I rarely see my brother like this."

This scene happened to be seen by Xu Chen who came in.

"Recently, the sect has recruited quite a few Xuanxian elders, and there are also four Jinxian elders."

"In view of this, the Human Emperor Temple gave the Daxi Sect a large task."

"Guard and maintain a secret realm of heaven and earth spirits in the star sea area, and hand over a certain amount of heaven and earth spirits every hundred years."

"This task alone will require half of the sect's Xuanxian elders and 500,000 Spiritual Immortal Realm disciples and 100,000 Earthly Immortal Realm disciples."

"The mission is heavy, and the disciples sent there simply can't practice properly."

"The key is that this is still a long-term task." Yang Wanshan said with some headache.

"What is the reward for this mission?" Xu Chen asked.

"It's not bad. If it can give birth to a top-level spirit of heaven and earth, it will be a profit."

"How about just inviting independent cultivators to go over? Half of them will be disciples and the other half will be independent cultivators, and they will be replaced every hundred years. This won't interfere with the disciples' cultivation." Xu Chen suggested.

"It's impossible to recruit them. There are almost no independent cultivators left in the immortal path. They are either recruited by the major sects or the major chambers of commerce."

"If a cultivator above the immortal path wanders around the streets for no reason, he will definitely be transferred to a mission by the Human Emperor Temple in no time."

“The Xuanxian elders recruited by the sect were all robbed from other major forces,” Yang Wanshan explained.

Seeing Xu Chen's thoughtful look, Yang Wanshan continued to speak.

"The secret place of the human race cannot be disclosed to outsiders."

This sentence blocked Xu Chen's thoughts.

“In this case, we can only recruit more people and train them slowly. If they have good qualifications and sufficient resources, they will be able to embark on the path to immortality in two to three thousand years.” Xu Chen touched his chin, feeling that this question had no answer.

"Fortunately, your immortal weapon armor production line has already started. Otherwise, recruiting more disciples would increase the financial burden on the sect."

As Yang Wanshan spoke, he began to contact the elders of the major sects, preparing to recruit a larger group of disciples this time, and also to increase the resources for training the disciples below the immortal path in the sect.

"Do you think the mission from the Human Emperor Temple can be rejected?" Xu Chen suddenly had an idea.

"Of course we can refuse, but we will consider it when the Human Emperor Temple issues tasks to the sect in the future."

"By then, the sect will lose a major source of income."

Yang Wanshan said this and waved his hand gently. A light curtain appeared in the spirit hall. There were tens of thousands of tasks of all sizes on the light curtain.

"You may not have noticed that your annual sect share has increased a little bit in recent years."

"Why didn't we have these tasks when we were in the main world before?"

Xu Chen looked at the tasks on the light curtain: mining, treasure hunting, planting, encirclement and suppression, assassination, undercover, investigation. All the tasks that one could think of and unexpectedly encountered appeared on the light curtain.

"At that time, the sect was too weak, and there were not many disciples above the immortal path, so there was no condition to accept it."

"At that time, among the five major sects in Leizhou, only the top three could receive missions from the Human Emperor Temple."

Yang Wanshan missed that time a lot when he talked about this.

"Ok."

"Brother, please focus on handling government affairs. I will go back to practice in seclusion." After Xu Chen finished drinking the tea in his cup, he was about to leave.

“Go ahead. Your cultivation is important. You should reach Daluo realm as soon as possible so that our sect can break away from the human territory and establish its own sect.” Yang Wanshan encouraged.

"It's too early. I'll practice slowly."

Xu Chen waved and returned to the cave.

As soon as he came back, a beautiful figure threw himself into Xu Chen's arms.

"Husband, Yueyao has finally cultivated to the spiritual fairyland." Su Yueyao looked at Xu Chen with her big watery eyes, with an expression of great attachment.

"Yes, judging by this time, my Yueyao is still a little genius." Xu Chen said with a smile while stroking Su Yueyao's hair.

"You have just come out of retreat, so calm your mind. Then I will accompany you to the Tribulation Platform to embark on the path of immortality."

"it is good."

Xu Chen's retreat plan failed again.

The Daxi Sect's Tribulation Platform is located in the center of a desert. The spiritual energy here is relatively thin, and the power of the heavenly tribulation that is condensed is a little less.

As soon as Xu Chen arrived here with Su Yueyao, he saw a group of Daxi Sect disciples who had reached the peak of the Immortal Realm queuing up.

"Waiting in line to survive the tribulation..."

I silently calculated the time and realized that I would have to wait in line here for at least a month.

"Husband, I have also cultivated some magical powers during my retreat. With the top-notch Taoist weapon you gave me, it will not be a problem for me to survive the thunder tribulation even in the wilderness." Su Yueyao could see that Xu Chen didn't want to queue.

"No, I'll find a place more suitable for the tribulation."

As he spoke, Xu Chen's mind moved and he communicated with the spirit of the Small Heavenly Dao Formation. "Help me find a place suitable for surviving the thunder tribulation." Xu Chen ordered.

"Okay." A faint voice sounded.

Then a portal appeared in front of the two of them.

"Let's go."

Xu Chen took Su Yueyao into the portal and found that they had arrived at a floating island formed by a natural landscape.

The island is like a fairyland in a picturesque way. The spirits of plants, heaven and earth have transformed into beautiful spiritual creatures and are flying around the island. In the center of the island there is a naturally formed field of magical herbs.

At this time, a spirit of plants, heaven and earth who transformed into a young girl was taking care of these magical medicines.

Xu Chen and Su Yueyao stood in mid-air, looking at this fairyland floating island.

"Husband, are we going to survive this calamity here?" Looking at the beautiful scenery below, Su Yueyao felt a little reluctant.

If we really have to endure the thunder disaster here, the entire floating island will probably be destroyed in half.

"Change to another place." Xu Chen communicated with the spirit of the small Tiandao formation.

The last piece of information appeared in Xu Chen's mind, saying that by going through the thunder tribulation here, he could draw the essence of plants and trees into his body, and in the future he would have an extra immortal vein in his body suitable for practicing the magical powers of plant immortals.

After hearing this news, Xu Chen hesitated a little, but then decided to change places.

It would be a shame if such a beautiful place was not used as a cave.

At this time, the girl of the spirit of heaven and earth who was taking care of the immortal elixir below noticed their presence.

The girl stood up, and although there was fear in her eyes, she was still ready to fight.

"Let's change to another place. This fairyland is suitable as a cave dwelling." Xu Chen looked at the entire island. The longest part was a thousand miles long, which was just right for his cave dwelling.

"How about you leave these spirits of heaven and earth with me, my husband? It would be great if I could have a companion after my training."

"it is good."

A portal appeared in front of the two again. They stepped into it and came to a wilderness with barren spiritual energy.

"This area is just right, and what I want will soon be here."

As he spoke, a thunder eagle broke through the space and appeared in front of Xu Chen.

"Sir, this is what you want." Lei Ying transformed into a human form and respectfully handed over the space box in his hand.

“It’s fast, not bad.”

Xu Chen threw out a bag of spirit coins that had been gathering dust in the storage space for a long time, estimated to be around four to five thousand.

"Thank you for the reward, my lord!"

Lei Ying sounded surprised, took the bag of spirit coins and left.

Xu Chen took out the array plate from the space box and began to set up the array.

Soon, a thunder platform appeared on the ground below.

"Go."

Su Yueyao nodded, entered the thunder tribulation platform below and began to endure the tribulation.

Xu Chen watched from a distance in case of any unexpected situation.

"An ordinary small thunder disaster~~"

Seeing the doomsday-like scene of lightning and thunder in the distance, Xu Chen said calmly.

At night, on the fairyland-like floating island, hundreds of disciples who were skilled in construction built a cave for Xu Chen.

On the periphery, there are Xuanxian elders who are good at setting up formations. They use the most top-level immortal formations to transform the fairyland island into a small world.

"Connect the teleportation array to one of my caves."

As the supervisor, Xu Chen shouted to the elders who were setting up the formation on the periphery.

"no problem!"

In less than three hours, the entire floating island turned into Xu Chen's private cave.

In the distance, Su Yueyao was chatting with the spirit girl of heaven and earth.

Xu Chen sat on the edge of the floating island, looking at the sea of ​​clouds under the bright moon in the night sky below.

A beam of light flew from the horizon and soon appeared not far from Xu Chen.

"Junior brother, you are really good at finding a place. The natural scenery here is really rare." The visitor was Yang Wanshan.

Xu Chen waved his hand, and a small hole opened in the formation guarding the periphery of the floating island, allowing Yang Wanshan to come in.

"We discovered this place by accident. It's such a good place, but our Daxi Sect didn't even find it." Xu Chen looked like he had picked up a bargain.

"A Xuanxian world is so vast that even after occupying this world for so many years, the Daxi Sect has not been able to fully explore it."

"When we advance to the Golden Immortal World in the future, it will be a hundred times or a thousand times more vast, and by then there will be even more places with natural scenery like this."

Yang Wanshan was sitting not far away, looking at the sea of ​​clouds below like Xu Chen.

"It's rare that Senior Brother is interested in coming here."

"This is the perfect time to have a few drinks."

Xu Chen waved his hand and released a small space table. Then he took out the food box specially made by Sihailou and placed the dishes inside.

"Yeah, it would be a waste if I didn't have a few drinks."

"Junior brother, if you want the food, I'll serve the wine."

A ten-jin jar of fairy wine appeared in Yang Wanshan's hand.

Mingyue, Yunhai, Xu Chen and Yang Wanshan drank and chatted until late at night.

As the moon set and the sun rose, Xu Chen looked at the sea of ​​clouds illuminated by the morning light and couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.

At this time, a Holy Sun Golden Crow egg appeared behind Xu Chen, and began to slowly break out of its shell in the morning light reflected by the rising sun.

A little Holy Sun Golden Crow with a wingspan of less than three inches broke out of its shell, flew to Xu Chen's shoulder like a little bird, and rubbed Xu Chen's face with its little head.

"啾啾~~"

Xu Chen, who was immersed in the beautiful scenery, was disturbed by the voice.

Turning his head, he spotted the little Holy Sun Golden Crow on his shoulder.

"Little guy, you finally decided to come out."

Xu Chen rubbed the little Holy Yang Golden Crow's head with his fingers. The little Holy Yang Golden Crow made a series of affectionate calls, then spread its wings and flew towards the direction where the sun was rising in the distance.

"The Holy Sun Golden Crow that absorbed my Holy Sun's enlightenment is indeed different."

"They are more lively than the previous four. They seem alive."

Xu Chen opened his hand and a ray of Holy Sun Immortal Fire ignited in the palm of his hand, containing a different kind of vitality.

"Insights always come unexpectedly."

Looking at the ball of Holy Sun Fairy Fire in his hand that contained vigorous vitality, Xu Chen waved his hand and threw it into the fairyland island behind him.

The Holy Sun Heart Fire transformed into a small Holy Sun Golden Crow, which flew hundreds of miles and then dived into the center of the eyebrows of the Spirit of Heaven and Earth girl who was taking care of the elixir.

Suddenly, the spirit girl of heaven and earth, who was originally in the Xuan Dao realm, directly advanced to the immortal realm with this trace of Holy Yang Immortal Fire.

"Thank you for the opportunity, senior." The girl knelt down and bowed in the direction of Xu Chen.

"When the time comes, what belongs to you is yours."

Xu Chen's long voice echoed between heaven and earth.

In the cave on the fairyland island, Xu Chen looked at Su Yueyao.

"I am going to go into seclusion. Unless something unexpected happens, I will not come out for a thousand years."

"Yueyao, before you go into seclusion, I will accompany you to wander around the human territory."

Long-term seclusion will cause depression. If the depression accumulates too deeply, it is most likely to lead to obsession.

Therefore, if you feel depressed after retreat, you must eliminate it quickly.

Su Yueyao's eyes lit up when she heard Xu Chen's words.

"My dear husband, I want to go and take a look at the great worlds of our human race." (End of this chapter)
