A Thousand Years

Then, he paused.

He looked at the sky-shaking golden roc and the Vermillion Bird on the tree with a dazed expression.

“Golden roc? Vermillion Bird?”

“Is there a problem?” Chu Xuan asked curiously.

A look of reminiscence appeared on his face as he said, “In my time, these two were already legendary existences.”

“Of course, I’m not referring to their descendants. Back then, there were actually descendants of these two legendary existences in the Heavenly Sun World and the chaos, but their bloodline was somewhat impure.”

“These two, other than being slightly weaker, have extremely pure bloodlines. If it wasn’t for the fact that they’re so weak, I would’ve mistaken them for the real thing.”

Chu Xuan’s interest was piqued.

The sky-shaking golden roc and the Vermillion Bird were rewards from the system.

He could not help but wonder if they were the legendary existences Lie Tian was talking about.

He had originally thought that the Vermillion bird, one of the four divine beasts of the nine zones, had disappeared because of the system.

However, Chu Xuan no longer thought that way.

Ever since he had learned that the chaos was special, and that it had been destroyed in that great battle, he suspected that the four divine beasts of the nine zones were only a manifestation of their true origins.

Their disappearance and reappearance thanks to the system was likely them returning to their true origins.

Furthermore, the other three divine beasts were the same.

“Where did the first generation golden roc and Vermillion Bird go?”

Lie Tian stared at the golden roc and the Vermilion Bird. The more he looked at them, the more incredulous he felt.

Why was their bloodline so pure?

Even the Vermillion Bird King from his era did not have such a pure bloodline.

“Legend has it that the Vermilion Bird and the golden roc were Dao Supreme Rulers. They went to explore the void region and disappeared,” Lie Tian replied.

Chu Xuan was deep in thought.

When the golden roc, heavenly spirit cat and spirit-devouring flower entered the Heavenly Sun World, they did not undergo any corrections.

Although the four divine beasts did, the extent of the correction was not large. Was this due to having only part of their origin in the nine zones?

Lie Tian looked around and saw the White Tiger under the ancient tree.

He was silent.

He felt that Chu Xuan was not simple.

Could it be that all of the four divine beasts were with him?

Of course, he did not think that it was the original four divine beasts. He only thought that these were direct descendants of the four divine beasts.

He took a look at the heavenly spirit cat and found it familiar. It looked like a miniature version of the White Tiger.

“I’m going to recuperate for a while.”

After Lie Tian finished speaking, he flew out of the small courtyard and went to the pond under the cliff.

There, he saw the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise.

‘This person’s background is not simple.’

Chu Xuan glanced at the Vermilion Bird, but did not use the derivation function to analyze its origin.

Whether or not it was the first generation Vermillion Bird was not important.

Why did so many Dao Supreme Rulers choose to explore the void region?

Was there really nothing there?

Or did it hide some untold secrets about the world?

Chu Xuan did not think too much about it.

He only needed to stay at home and grow stronger. There was still a long way to go before he became a Dao Supreme Ruler.

His current goal was to break through and reach the Dao Creation realm.

Sitting at the table with Su Xian’er, eating delicious food, he finally revisited the long-lost joys of life.

He had been cultivating for more than ten million years, and had been missing out on the finer things in life.

After enjoying his meal, Chu Xuan continued to relax in his chair.

He squinted his eyes and tried to sense the Origin Great Dao.

The Origin Great Dao was growing at a rather fast pace, and even though it was so far away and there was a law barrier separating it, he could still sense and control it.

Chu Xuan flipped his hand and the Heavenly Dao talisman appeared in his hand.

He observed the Heavenly Dao talisman, and found that the Heavenly Dao was developing normally and was constantly improving.

Chu Xuan tried to contact Ding Yue and the others.

However, he realized that even though he had the Heavenly Dao talisman, he could not contact Ding Yue and the others.

It was blocked by an unfathomable and transcendent law.

The Heavenly Dao was still not strong enough.

He then put the Heavenly Dao talisman away.

After observing the small valley for a while, he decided to live here.

...

He could not just laze around on the chair and do nothing.

He still had to do some things to kill time.

He took out some seeds, and created a hoe.

He brought the hoe along to the valley to cultivate and plant some spiritual fruits and herbs to kill time and entertain himself.

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Xuan had been staying in the valley for a thousand years.

He received a reward once a year, and had received a thousand rewards.

Most of them were cultivation rewards.

The reward that was given once every century was relatively large, and the reward that was given once every millennium was even more generous.

For a thousand years, Chu Xuan didn’t cultivate and lived an ordinary and leisurely life.

Lie Tian was dumbfounded.

...

How did a person manage to do daily chores like an ordinary farmer in a small valley every day?

Was this really an expert who had transcended the Dao realm?

He could not stand it.

However, since he could not leave the valley, Lie Tian could only recuperate in seclusion.

He had woken up three times in a thousand years, which was only to guide Su Xian’er.

The rest of the time, he was sleeping and cultivating.

He was afraid that he would not be able to stand this boring life if he stayed awake.

He wanted to leave the valley, but Chu Xuan did not allow it.

Therefore, this was the only way to pass the time.

Within these thousand years, Su Xian’er had broken through to the Holy Dao realm, which was equivalent to the chaos supreme realm.

Chu Xuan lay on the recliner, took a sip of tea, and let out a long breath. His entire body was relaxed.

He did not need to cultivate, and he could become stronger just by staying at home.

This was what he wanted.

He had finally broken through to the Dao Creation realm after these thousand years.

“You’ve stayed at home for a thousand years. You’ve been low-key, diligent, and your life is full of fun and vigor. You have been rewarded with a breakthrough to the Dao Creation realm.”

That was the reward for the thousand-year milestone.

The Dao Creation realm was a huge leap.

The supreme laws within the 3,000 masses of chaotic energy of creation in his body had been perfected.

The Dao path that connected them had also been perfected, and supreme laws wrapped themselves around it.

He had truly created his Dao.

The supreme laws of the chaos were derived from the Great Dao after the greater chaos was shattered.

The Great Dao of the nine zones was equivalent to the inferior version of that Great Dao.

The Heavenly Dao was a Great Dao that surpassed the Great Dao of the nine zones, but was lacking in comparison to the Great Dao of the greater chaos.

Within these thousand years, the Origin Great Dao had also completed its transformation, and it was also a Dao creation.

As such, Chu Xuan was much stronger than other early-stage Dao Creation realm experts.

The Heavenly Dao was also evolving toward becoming a Dao creation.

A thousand years in the Heavenly Sun World meant that a billion years had passed in the chaos.

The two chaoses had already collided and fused.

The supreme laws of the chaos had already long been devoured by the Heavenly Dao, even before the two chaoses collided and fused.

After the fusion of chaoses and the Chaos Calamity, the Heavenly Dao started to infiltrate and devour the supreme laws of the other chaos.

The chaos supreme realm experts of the other chaos naturally wanted to stop it, which resulted in many conflicts breaking out.

During the Chaos Calamity, the chaos Supreme realm experts of both sides had already begun to fight for the authority over the unified chaos.

It was worth mentioning that Ding Yue and Chu Xuan’s other disciples had already reached the chaos supreme realm.

However, it would still take them a long time to transcend the chaos.

Moreover, since the Heavenly Dao had not unified the two chaoses, they were unable to leave the chaos with their current strength. They would not be able to stay in the void region for very long anyway.
