718: The first Dao Lord realm

Coming out with Han Xi was merely Su Chen's way of passing the time.

Tongtian was still breaking through to the Dao Lord Realm. Through the Nine-Cloud Puppet, it was clear he hadn't fully succeeded yet and would likely need a significant amount of time; everyone else was busy with their own affairs.

This included his Disciples, who were making quite a name for themselves within the Myriad Realms.

Xiao Yan had established a power called the Heavenly Fire Divine Cult, which had already gained some fame in certain parts of the Myriad Realms.

Aside from that, there was nothing particularly special about the others. Mu Qingling continued her journey through the Myriad Realms, stopping and starting as she searched for an opportunity to break through to the Dao Lord Realm.

His fourth Disciple, Ye Haoran, followed a similar path, traveling across the major worlds.

Within the Cloud Firmament Realm.

The Su Family, led by Su Xiao, had also grown significantly.

Everyone had their own tasks, but Su Chen was the exception. He found his life to be quite dull, with only the Great Dao of Dual Cultivation granting him the task of finding women—or perhaps, that was simply his instinct.

This was the only thing he had to do; beyond that, Su Chen seemingly had no responsibilities.

He could just quietly 'lie flat' and wait for the System to grow.

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh. Although the System made him carefree, it also stripped away all his worries.

Initially, Su Chen didn't think he had many women around him. Back then, he had grand ambitions, feeling he would surely have three thousand beauties in his harem in the future. But now, it seemed that might be difficult to achieve.

It was fine before, but after his wives were resurrected, he gradually felt like he was becoming a bit too busy to manage it all.

Han Xi spoke with some excitement, "Master, what should I do next?"

Su Chen smiled and shook his head. "You don't need to do anything."

Huh?

Han Xi was instantly confused. If she didn't have to do anything, wouldn't she lack any sense of presence?

Su Chen continued, "It's difficult for almost any power to exist forever in this world. It will always encounter problems, large or small, arising either from within or from the outside."

“Eventually, these problems will cause the Sect to completely vanish into thin air.”

“And you only need to wait for such a moment to appear, then take control of the situation and turn the tide. That will achieve the best effect.”

“Besides, you are a Grand Elder. If you show up for every little thing, wouldn't that make you look like you lack prestige?”

Han Xi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

That makes a lot of sense!

In the days that followed, Su Chen and Han Xi hardly ever showed their faces. Within the entire Qiankun Sect, only Duan Wu had seen them once, and he never entered their presence again after that.

Some in the Sect tried to sneak a look, but the entire mountain peak was obscured by mist, making it impossible to see the situation inside, and Divine Sense could not penetrate it either.

At first, everyone thought it was normal.

However, as this situation persisted for two thousand years, people gradually stopped talking about Han Xi.

Su Chen left a Clone behind and departed silently.

Staying there indefinitely felt a bit boring to him. Han Xi's cultivation had not yet recovered, and she would occasionally fall into a deep sleep to restore her strength, but for him, it was truly just sitting idly.

However, Su Chen didn't go too far, still wandering within the White Cloud Realm.

The White Cloud Realm was much larger than the Cloud Firmament Realm. Of its six major domains, almost every single one was about twice the size of the Cloud Firmament Realm. In total, the White Cloud Realm was roughly twelve times the size of the Cloud Firmament Realm.

Su Chen traveled everywhere, like a passing traveler of this world.

In the blink of an eye, five million years passed.

Tongtian finally stepped into the Dao Lord Realm five hundred thousand years ago.

On that day, all the Ancient God experts of the Myriad Realms went to congratulate him. Tongtian was the first Cultivator in the Myriad Realms to break through to the Dao Lord Realm.

These Cultivators constantly sought guidance from Tongtian.

To this, Tongtian was not stingy; he opened a lecture hall, and countless Ancient God experts went to hear Tongtian discuss the Dao.

Since Tongtian had broken through to the Dao Lord Realm, it likely wouldn't be long before his other Disciples, including Su Xiao and Su Hao, could also enter the Dao Lord Realm. When that happened, the rewards from his System sign-ins would increase, and the benefits would be terrifying.

Double rewards meant that the System's growth speed would also double.

The System's sign-in rewards were determined by time and frequency. The more times he signed in, the more good things he would obtain. Su Chen was very curious about where the System's limit was, or if there was no limit at all.

During these five million years, the Qiankun Sect faced at least ten disasters that threatened its destruction, but each time, Han Xi stepped in to turn the tide and resolve the crisis.

Now, Han Xi had become an undisputed Old Ancestor-level figure within the Qiankun Sect.

Five million years was not particularly long for Cultivators, but in these Myriad Realms, there weren't many Immortal Realm Cultivators who could survive for five million years.

After all, living in this world, one would eventually encounter some trouble.

Quite a few people had fallen.

Over these years, Su Chen also continuously searched for traces of Tiandu. If even 'that person' cared about it, it meant Tiandu was indeed quite important. If he could find it, perhaps he could take a more proactive stance in his situation.

However, relying on himself to find it would likely be difficult.

During this rare period of peace, Su Chen also thought a lot. He had previously guessed that before the time he encountered, another timeline existed. If that were true...

Whether that person had modified the time after the later timeline was born, or the very first timeline, was worth considering.

This was equivalent to a small timeline nested within a large one. He might not even need to rely on the System's 'Return to the Past'; he could potentially go directly from the present deep into the depths of time and eventually return to the original timeline of the Immortal Realm.

Forget it.

Thinking about these things didn't seem to have much point, and he had no clues about Tiandu. Now he could only wait for Ancestor Wu's memories to recover.

Time flowed like water, and in a flash, another five million years passed.

In these nearly ten million years, there was almost no movement from Ancestor Wu. She provided Su Chen with no new information at all—at least nothing useful, as her memories were almost entirely about food from the Primordial World.

It was clear that Ancestor Wu was a complete foodie. Over these years, staying in the Xuanhuang Realm, she did nothing but eat, with almost no other activities.

The key was that she didn't gain any weight.

This was something many girls would envy.

After ten million years, Mu Qingling showed signs of breaking through to the Dao Lord Realm. Not just her, but Su Xiao and Su Hao as well; all three were in seclusion at the same time, showing signs of a Breakthrough.

Su Chen was very happy.

According to the System's function description, one Dao Lord Realm expert provided ten million Luck Points, while increasing the number of System sign-ins required thirty million Luck Points.

The second upgrade would require sixty million Luck Points.

The third upgrade would require one hundred and twenty million Luck Points, doubling each time. It became quite ridiculous later on, and Su Chen believed he might not reach that level.

But the early stages weren't difficult.

To get two extra sign-ins, he needed a total of ninety million Luck Points, which meant producing nine Dao Lord-level experts. For Su Chen, this was something that just required spending some time...
