After breaking through to the Divine realm, Chu Xuan's confidence had increased greatly.
Furthermore, he now had the Stable Dao principle. As he continued to comprehend it, his cultivation speed would advance by leaps and bounds. It would not take him many years to break through to the Dao realm.
It was time to fish out the true mastermind behind the Black Moon Tower.
The Heavenly Dao Talisman plan should also be implemented quickly.
Before the Asura Ancient Land opened, it had to cover the entire Northern Zone. Only then would he be able to spy on all of the forces in the Northern Zone and control their movements.
Chu Xuan looked at the Origin Dao Crystal.
The two soul puppets that were in the process of nurturing had completed their nurturing ahead of time because of the changes to the Origin Dao Crystal.
They had gained sentience.
With a wave of his hand, the two soul puppets flew over.
They transformed into two servants, a man and a woman.
They looked no different from actual human beings.
However, if one were to examine them carefully, one would still be able to discover telltale signs that they were not actually human.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
The soul puppets' consciousness, cultivation foundation, battle techniques, and so on were all nurtured by Chu Xuan's divine soul.
They were absolutely loyal to him, and he would not disobey him.
Moreover, the spiritual intelligence of the soul puppets was relatively simple, and nowhere close to that of an actual human being.
The two soul puppets both possessed the strength of a Divine realm cultivator, and they were equivalent to ordinary second-level Divine realm experts.
"Your name is Chu Yi, and your name is Chu Er."
Chu Xuan thought for a moment and gave the two soul puppets a name.
The male was Chu Yi, and the female was Chu Er.
"Chu Yi greets the lord."
"Chu Er greets the lord."
"Go to the trial mystic realm."
Chu Xuan waved his hand and allowed the soul puppets to enter the trial mystic realm to increase their combat experience. After training in the trial mystic realm, the soul puppets' agility and adaptability in combat would increase.
Training there would also further increase their battle awareness and their ability to deal with dangerous situations.
There were two people in the Origin Dao Crystal group chat. One was a true big shot, an existence that surpassed the dao realm, Hong Yuanchu.
The other was Dao realm Ying Kong.
Chu Xuan did not know which level of the Dao realm Ying Kong was in, but judging from Ying Kong's performance, it should not be too high.
Perhaps he could start with Ying Kong and learn more about Dao Yuan and Dao realm through him.
He would test him using the identity of a senior.
First, he would introduce primordial chaos and let Ying Kong know that there was a big shot in the circle of communication that he looked up to.
And he had a higher status than this big shot.
With that, he could easily fool Ying Kong.
In the Origin Dao Crystal, they could send messages, just like a group chat. Chu Xuan said first, "Ying Kong, let me introduce you to fellow Daoist Hong Yuanchu. Fellow Daoist Hong has already persisted for two Daoyuan and has opened two Dao paths."
Ying Kong was already aware that there was an additional person in this mysterious circle of communication, but he did not dare to greet the other party first.
He was waiting for Chu Xuan to introduce him.
Hong Yuanchu?
This name sounded somewhat familiar.
Ying Kong's expression suddenly changed, and he muttered to himself, "Hong Yuanchu? Could it be that legendary existence?"
"He has been around for two Daoyuan, and has opened two Dao paths… who else could it be other than him?"
Daoyuan realm, the legendary Daoyuan realm!
This was a super big shot.
Even many Dao realm experts worshiped this existence.
"Ying Kong greets Senior Hong!" Ying Kong said respectfully.
In order to show his respect, he even used his Dao aura to condense a human figure, which prostrated itself on the ground. This image was transmitted through the Origin Dao Crystal.
Chu Xuan took a look and, once he saw that Ying Kong was behaving so respectfully, he knew that the other party had heard of Hong Yuanchu's great name.
"Young friend Ying, thank you for your greetings. Thank you for your introduction, Daoist Brother Chu," Hong Yuanchu replied.
Ying Kong?
He had never heard of him before. He should be a nobody.
Still, no matter what the reason was, Ying Kong was able to enter a group formed by Chu Xuan's Great Dao treasure, which was considered a fortuitous encounter. He could be considered a fated person, so his cultivation level was not too important.
When one's strength reached Hong Yuanchu's realm, only fate mattered, not cultivation level.
Ying Kong's heart thumped. This was not good. The mighty and virtuous Senior Chu was actually a Daoseeker too. Even Senior Hong Yuanchu had to treat him with respect.
He recalled that he did not seem to be as respectful to him as he had been to Senior Hong Yuanchu.
In a panic, he condensed another human figure and bowed. He said, "Thank you, Senior Chu, for introducing Senior Hong to Little Ying!"
He had to be humble!
He had to be respectful!
This was a super big shot. It was his greatest opportunity.
"You are too polite, Little Ying."
Ying Kong was really a tactful person. He had changed his own form of address to Little Ying to indicate the other two members' seniority.
Chu Xuan felt that it was easier to trick Ying Kong.
"Little friend Ying, how is your cultivation? What level of the Dao realm are you at?" Chu Xuan asked.
Ying Kong's heart skipped a beat and he started to panic.
Could it be that he was not worthy of being here because his cultivation level was too low?
Should he lie?
On second thought, lying in front of such a big shot would be akin to courting death.
He was deeply worried and afraid of being expelled.
"Little Ying is stupid. I have cultivated for close to one Daoyuan, but am only at the third level of the Dao realm."
The third level of the Dao realm was indeed the one of the weakest among the thirty-six levels of the Dao realm…
And Ying Kong had actually cultivated for close to one Daoyuan?
How many years was one Daoyuan?
Chu Xuan did not know much about this, so he could only suppress his curiosity for now. He would wait for the right opportunity to seek answers and find out.
"Above average, not bad," Hong Yuanchu said.
Then he said, "Daoist Brother Chu, how about I invite people to join us right now?"
"Sure!"
Chu Xuan was overjoyed. This big shot Hong Yuanchu was indeed well-connected.
Then, he said, "Our communication circle uses the Great Dao as a medium, so why don't we call it the Great Dao Communication Group?"
"Great Dao Communication Group? That's perfect," Hong Yuanchu agreed.
Soon, a few different Dao auras were absorbed by the Origin Dao Crystal.
Then, Hong Yuanchu began to introduce the newcomers.
"This is Fellow Daoist Kun He. He has opened one Dao path and has been around for one Daoyuan."
"This is Fellow Daoist Ruo Xian. He has opened one Dao path and has been around for nearly two Daoyuan. He's from the same generation as me."
Apart from these two Daoyuan realm cultivators, there were also a few Dao realm cultivators.
Shu Yang, thirtieth level of the Dao realm. He was a close friend of Hong Yuanchu.
Piao Ruoyun, Hong Yuanchu's disciple, twenty-ninth level of the Dao realm.
Wu Fangcun, Hongyuan Chu's disciple, twenty-eighth level of the Dao realm.
Xi Xuan, Ruo Xian's Dao realm disciple, twenty-sixth level of the Dao realm.
Among these, Ruoxian, Piao Ruoyun, and Xi Xuan were all women.
Ying Kong was so scared that he did not dare to speak.
Within this Great Dao Communication Group, he was the most trashy.
Chu Xuan exchanged greetings with the two Daoyuan realm cultivators, while Hongyuan Chu and Ruoxian's disciples bowed to him respectfully.
After getting familiar with each other, Chu Xuan made an excuse to leave the group chat.
He was afraid that if he chatted too much, he might stumble upon an intellectual blind spot, or be asked a difficult question, and would not know how to answer.
Therefore, at this stage, he tried his best to remain silent.
He was waiting for his strength to increase.
Furthermore, he was very curious as to where these Dao realm experts, as well as experts above the Dao realm were.
Of the nine zones, apart from the desolate ancient domain, the other eight would not contain Dao realm experts.
Were they beyond the nine zones?
Chu Xuan was more inclined to that notion.
After Ying Kong's initial fear subsided, he realized that this was a great opportunity to build relationships with many experts and resolve the doubts he had about his cultivation.
Therefore, after a day of silence, Ying Kong began to curry favor with the people in the group. The three Daoyuan realm experts did not speak much, so he did not dare to carelessly bother them.
Therefore, his target was Piao Ruoyun and the others.
After chatting and getting to know each other, Ying Kong had some gains. Some of his cultivation problems had been solved.
He became even more grateful to Chu Xuan, this mighty, immortal, holy, and most virtuous senior, for pulling him into the group.
