CHAPTER 407: CHAPTER 405: COMPREHENSION

"If you had sequestered yourself just a bit longer, by the time you emerged, I might already be at the Third Realm."

A majestic Dao of Time manifested behind the Saint Master as his unique Dharma Form.

Feeling this aura, Wangan’s expression was quite complex.

"Old Qing, I have but one wish in this lifetime, and that is to surpass you by a bit in either realm or power."

"Give me a chance, how about you wait until I advance before you make your next move?" Wangan said.

Though they were the best of brothers, there was still competition between them.

For many years, Wangan had always been below the Saint Master, and now he finally saw a chance to advance to the Third Realm ahead of time, only to realize it was merely a temporary experience card.

"Look, you better advance to the Third Realm quickly, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance." A smile appeared on the Saint Master’s face.

Xu Feng watched this scene with a smile from the sidelines.

Wangan returned to the Heavenly Steel Immortal Sect and secluded himself again, while Xu Feng set off for the Array Formation Secret Realm beyond the Human Clan Origin Realm to continue his comprehension of the three Xuanhuang Pills.

In a secret realm brimming with the essence of spring, Xu Feng transformed various Alchemy Dao into incarnations of Daoist couples.

But no matter how many he imagined, Xu Feng always felt something was missing.

The Golden Armored Spirit Turtle shrank beside Xu Feng, sleeping and occasionally moving a little to rub against Xu Feng.

"All Dao become worlds, and within these worlds, pills are formed."

"There’s a problem with this first step; what exactly is missing?" Xu Feng stroked his chin, looking at the several dozen pill furnaces in front of him, each condensed with Wan Dao.

Each of these furnaces could produce the most supreme divine pills, but for Xu Feng, they had not achieved the effect he desired.

"Master, I feel like these pill furnaces lack spirit." The Golden Armored Spirit Turtle, who had been asleep, suddenly chimed in.

"Spirit? Are you talking about Spiritual Wisdom?" Xu Feng was taken aback.

"Master, you just said ’All Dao become worlds’; these pill furnaces you’ve condensed with Wan Dao should also become miniature worlds."

"But I feel that these pill furnaces are lifeless." The Golden Armored Spirit Turtle looked around and then headed towards an Innate Spirit Root not far away.

"Alive? Spirit?"

It was as if a light suddenly appeared in a dark world, a light that cut through the darkness.

"Spirit! A true world!" Xu Feng’s eyes became brighter and brighter, the fog in his heart clearing away.

"Little Black, find a World Seed in the Human Clan Territory that’s about to evolve into a world."

"At your service."

In a remote area of the Human Clan Territory, a world seed brimming with immense vitality was slowly beginning to sprout.

And Xu Feng was quietly watching this scene from not too far away.

An area spanning tens of thousands of light years was covered by a large-scale Time Acceleration array set up by Xu Feng.

Within the accelerated flow of time, Xu Feng quietly observed the growth of this world.

Vitality, sprouting, growth, and finally transforming into a complete world.

Xu Feng didn’t know how long he watched within the Time Acceleration array.

Until that world grew to its peak, and then Xu Feng left for the next place where a World Seed was about to be born.

And after Xu Feng left, that realm was locked onto by a Human Clan Second Realm powerhouse, who dragged it outside the Human Clan Origin Realm to devour it as nourishment.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had gone by.

At this point, Xu Feng had watched the growth of countless worlds, the profound look in his eyes nearly solidifying into reality.

A whiff of decay emanated from Xu Feng.

But at this moment, the seed condensed from Wan Dao in Xu Feng’s heart began to take shape and sprout.

With a raise of his hand, Wan Dao converged to form a realm, and a hint of vitality, as if ignited by a special energy, came to life at the center of that world.

Instantly, the entire world became more complete.

"The first step has finally been taken," the look of profundity in Xu Feng’s eyes faded away.

"Congratulations, Master, for comprehending the Xuanhuang Dao," congratulated the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle by his side.

Over these ten thousand years, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle had always stayed beside Xu Feng.

"It’s still early; this is just the first step," Xu Feng said with a smile, patting the turtle’s head.

"Let’s head back first; I need to dissipate this oppressive energy before we talk further."

In the Human Clan Origin Realm, Xu Feng had just emerged from the small world beneath the earth and was resting on a lounge chair in the backyard.

"Little Gold, how has the situation at the frontline been lately?" Xu Feng inquired leisurely.

Now that the development of the Human Clan had wholly entered the right track, Xu Feng rarely concerned himself with their affairs.

"The frontline is exceptionally stable, and the defense phase has been initiated at the Holy Eye Sea Domain frontline."

"According to the intelligence from the frontline, the Holy Eye Clan is engaged in a major battle with another neighboring clan."

"In recent times, notable figures from the Holy Eye Clan have sought to negotiate, hoping to establish a contract for a hundred billion years of peace, but it was jointly vetoed by the four major clans."

"According to Xiao Hei’s calculations, the four major clans are watching and waiting for signs of decline from the Holy Eye Clan, which may lead them to invade the Holy Eye Clan eventually."

Hearing Xiao Hei’s words, Xu Feng’s eyes betrayed a hint of surprise.

"It seems our Human Clan’s luck is improving; we used to be invaded by other major clans, and we had to flee."

"Now it’s our turn to invade a major clan."

"It appears that our Human Clan needs to cultivate more powerhouses."

"Otherwise, how could we partake in the spoils when we invade the Holy Eye Clan?"

Speaking thus, Xu Feng opened the trade platform of the four clans.

"Now, the top powerhouses of our Human Clan have all encountered a bottleneck, and everyone must tread their own path through the Third Realm."

"I originally thought we could rely on the accumulation of time to slowly enrich the foundation of our Human Clan’s Dao."

"It seems we can no longer wait."

A new item appeared on Xu Feng’s screen, priced at one trillion Hongmeng Purple Coins.

"Insight into the Basic Dao of the Third Realm."

Slowly reciting the name of the item, Xu Feng criticized the product in his mind.

When he first arrived, Xu Feng had seen it but, much like how an ordinary person would react to the price of an aircraft carrier, he simply ignored it.

Now, after twenty thousand years of growth, and with the avatars created by Xu Feng either engaged in Alchemy or crafting Divine Level talismans, continuously generating value—

—to date, with a little effort, Xu Feng figured he could afford the Third Realm insight into the Basic Dao.

"Well, the money earned from the Star Divine Clan will have to be repaid sooner or later."

With that, Xu Feng placed the order and clicked purchase.

The Human Clan’s account was reduced by one trillion Hongmeng Purple Coins.

As soon as the order was placed, Xu Feng felt a colossal star force descending upon the outside of the Human Clan Territory.

A gigantic Star Gate slowly coalesced in the Great Chaos Sea.

Xu Feng’s figure appeared outside the Star Gate.

Once the Star Gate was fully formed, a Star Divine emerged.

"Xu Feng, this is the insight into the Basic Dao of the Third Realm from our Star Divine Clan."

"You have good insight; among the four clans, only the Third Realm insight from our Star Divine Clan is the most suitable for your Human Clan, and it’s the most economical."

The Star Divine presented a Wan Dao monument with a beaming smile, with all insights of the Third Realm condensed upon it.

"Thank you, Divine Lord," Xu Feng took the Wan Dao monument and expressed his gratitude.

"No need to thank me; come over for tea when you have the time."

Upon finishing, the Divine Lord returned through the Star Gate.

After the Star Gate completely vanished, many Human Clan powerhouses appeared beside Xu Feng.

"Xu Feng, this expenditure is too extravagant!" said the Saint Master, looking at the Wan Dao monument with a complex expression.
