Chapter 1836
Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he pressed on, "Then when you were at the Imperial Pass, didn't you ever see a figure surpassing the Great Emperor descend? Even just a phantom would be fine."
Xiao Ta shook it decisively:
"No, not even once. My master and the other half-step Great Emperors also questioned why those powerful beings didn't show up when it came to the brink of death."
"This matter caused quite a stir in the Imperial Pass at the time. It wasn't until later, when the Great Emperor who publicly revealed the 'Supreme Emperor's Art of War' descended and used simple words to transmit his voice to the Eternal Supreme and Half-Step Great Emperor present, that they realized that the real battle for survival was not just about the struggle for the Imperial Pass, but also about the upper echelons vying for the ownership of the origin of the universe."
"Fortunately, our powerful beings can receive the blessing of the universe's origin when they fight in the primordial space of the universe. However, the supreme beings of the strange race not only do not receive the blessing, but are suppressed by our universe's origin at every turn. Therefore, the struggle for the Imperial Pass has become the only breakthrough for both civilizations."
"The core origin of the universe..." Chen Xuan repeated these words in a low voice, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing together—he suddenly remembered what the Chaos Tree had told him in the Chaos Nest. At the time, he didn't understand, but now he thought it might be related to the origin of the universe.
An indescribable anger surged within Chen Xuan, his fists clenched until his knuckles turned white, and his voice carried a hint of coldness:
"Damn these bizarre creatures! One day, I, Chen Xuan, will personally go to the Imperial Pass and avenge those fallen sages and emperors!"
"Revenge isn't urgent. Focus on your cultivation first; a steady and methodical approach is fundamental." Xiao Ta's tone remained somber.
"Since the decisive battle at the Immortal Ancient Imperial Pass, more than half a cosmic era has passed. By now, there are probably already small-scale battles on the border of the Imperial Pass—the Strange Clan has always liked to use this method to 'train' their troops, while also testing the strength and overall quality of our civilization's lower-level cultivators."
It paused, then continued:
"Boy, when you become an Extreme Celestial Immortal, you might be qualified to go to the border of the Imperial Pass. At that time, you will truly witness the terror of the younger generation of the Strange Clan—they are born with the instinct to devour living beings. The Ten Heavenly Daos of that world are also different from our plane, and their combat power is several times stronger than that of human cultivators of the same level."
"There's already fighting on the border of the capital?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"No wonder when the news reached Xuanxiao Star, Brother Xuanmo suddenly convened the Immortal Fate Conference to select ten people to go to the frontier for training."
"It turns out they are the Ten Kings of the Frontier, who have already begun to cultivate the knowledge and courage of the descendants of all races."
Upon hearing this, Xiaota's voice deepened: "It's exactly the same as in the Immortal Ancient Era... First, there's the competition between low-level cultivators, then the dimensional seals are gradually broken, until the Great Emperor of the Strange Race can descend across dimensions. At that time, the true war of civilizations will completely erupt."
"Is it that urgent?" Chen Xuan frowned even more, a hint of worry creeping into his heart—he was only at the Returning Void Realm, far from being able to go to the battlefield.
"That's not something you should be worrying about right now," Little Tower reassured her.
"Generally speaking, there is at least a million years of buffer time between the initial probing by the lowest level of the strange race and the full outbreak of war. After all, the preparation and coordination of a civilization at the cosmic level cannot be completed in a short period of time."
"You still have enough time to grow, provided you don't waste your time indulging in a life of comfort."
The two, one man and one tower, chatted in the courtyard for several days, discussing everything from ancient secrets to future dangers, until the Chaos Dao Fruit at Chen Xuan's fingertips emitted a faint gray light. Only then did he slowly rise, his eyes devoid of any hesitation.
"I should go into seclusion now to refine this Chaos Dao Fruit and break through the shackles of the fourth immortal energy."
The little tower nodded, its body floating above the golden roof, maintaining a domain with a time flow rate a hundred times faster: "Go, I will watch over you."
Chen Xuan sat down cross-legged and placed the Chaos Dao Fruit in front of him.
The fruit was about the size of a fist, with a restrained wisp of chaotic energy swirling around its surface. It felt cold and heavy to the touch, like holding a condensed piece of cosmic dust.
He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then mobilized the magic power within his body, transforming it into strands of silver threads, which he carefully seeped into the Dao Fruit.
He had expected the Chaos Dao Fruit to resist, since it was a treasure containing the power of chaos, and refining it would inevitably take a long time and a lot of effort.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his magic power touched the Dao Fruit, the chaotic energy on the surface of the Dao Fruit actively wrapped around it and flowed into his body along the magic power threads.
In less than three breaths, the Dao Fruit cracked open with a "crack" and then completely disintegrated, turning into streams of chaotic energy visible to the naked eye, which swirled in front of him into a cloud of gray wisps.
"Kid, don't just focus on refining it, take a good look at these chaotic energies." The little tower's voice rang out just in time.
"Although this Chaos Dao Fruit is conceived in the form of a 'fruit,' it still retains a trace of the Chaos Heavenly Dao within it. Normally, only by breaking through the Eternal Supreme Realm and stepping into the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm can one comprehend the Chaos Heavenly Dao in the endless void."
"You've taken a huge shortcut to get to this level while you're still in the Void Returning Realm."
It paused, then added, "But don't expect to grasp the true essence of the Chaos Dao right now. I'm just letting you experience the 'aura' of chaos up close. It's like memorizing the direction of the road in advance, so that when you actually walk this road in the future, you can take fewer detours and receive a slight boost."
Fortunately, the little tower reminded him in time—Chen Xuan had almost used the "Great Realm Enlightenment Enlightenment Attempts" rewarded by the system to try and comprehend the Chaos Heavenly Dao.
Hearing this, he quickly regained his composure and secretly rejoiced: "Luckily I was slow, otherwise it would have been a waste. It seems that the chances of achieving a major realm of enlightenment rewarded by the system should be saved for when I reach the Dao Integration stage. Good steel should be used on the blade."
He closed his eyes, letting the chaotic energy flow through his skin, feeling the profound and all-encompassing power circulating within his body.
"Is this the Chaos Heavenly Dao, which transcends the Eternal Dao?"
