Chu Xuan knew that he still had a long way to go.

The system's fate function allowed him to control his own fate and not be affected by the outside world's fate.

"The system's 'stay-at-home' function has been activated. You can designate an area as your home (cannot exceed 50 kilometers). You cannot leave during the function's active period. If you leave, your 'stay-at home' record will be erased."

"Every year, you'll be rewarded. The longer you stay, the more generous the reward."

"During the function's active period, you can't cultivate in seclusion, and will have to live your life normally."

After the system update, the reward for staying at home was now calculated in years.

Moreover, he could not cultivate in seclusion during this period of time. He had to live a normal life.

On the plus side, the size of his living area had expanded.

Chu Xuan looked at the valley.

This was a very suitable residential area.

After he completed the first stage before the system's update, he had become invincible within the chaos.

Then, he had spent more than ten million years working hard to transcend the chaos.

In conclusion, he needed the system in order to get strong quickly.

Chu Xuan decided to stay in this small valley.

The scarcity of spiritual energy here did not matter to him.

He had plenty of treasures. If he used them, he could easily turn this small valley into a holy land for cultivation.

Chu Xuan landed in the valley.

After observing the valley, Chu Xuan did not immediately designate it as his residence.

Instead, he began to transform the small valley.

A small stream was flowing through the ancient forest in the valley.

The source of the stream was an underground river that was redirected by Chu Xuan. It flowed out from the middle of a cliff, creating a small waterfall.

There was a small pond under the waterfall.

After spending a little time transforming the small valley, Chu Xuan confirmed the designation of this place as his residence.

With a wave of his hand, a few ancient trees were uprooted, and in a short while, a few wooden houses were built.

A fence surrounded the residential area, and with a wave of his hand, a few treasures disappeared into the ground.

The spiritual energy in the area became richer.

Of course, it would only increase gradually as opposed to suddenly in order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

He would make it seem like the spiritual energy here was recovering.

After all, the Heavenly Sun World had been severely damaged in the great battle. It would not be unusual for some places to suddenly show increased signs of recovery and life.

To Chu Xuan, as long as it did not attract the attention of experts, there would be no danger.

While he was at it, he would also set up a concealment array in the small valley.

Once the arrangements were complete, Chu Xuan felt relieved and comfortable.

He was sitting on a reclining chair in the courtyard residence.

He allowed Su Xian'er to leave the pocket dimension, as well as the heavenly spirit cat, the sky-shaking golden roc, and the spirit-devouring flower.

"Sir, where is this?"

Su Xian'er looked at the residence in surprise.

"This is a section within the Heavenly Sun World. We'll be settling down here,"

"Heavenly Sun World?"

Su Xian'er's eyes brightened.

Seeing Chu Xuan lying on the recliner, she understood that they were going to live quietly here for some time.

The heavenly spirit cat strolled around the courtyard, while the spirit-devouring flower had taken root.

The sky-shaking golden roc flew up to a big tree and perched itself on a branch.

Chu Xuan then released the four divine beasts.

The White Tiger ran to an ancient tree and lay down while comprehending the laws of the Heavenly Sun World.

The Black Tortoise and the Azure Dragon chose to stay in the small pond.

The Vermilion Bird joined the sky-shaking golden roc on a branch of the ancient tree.

The four divine beasts all shrunk their bodies as they tried to comprehend the Great Dao of the Heavenly Sun World.

Their next goal was to break through and reach the Transcendent Dao realm.

Su Xian'er started to get busy.

She made a pot of tea for Chu Xuan and started to prepare the meal ingredients. It was time to cook.

She had returned to the familiar days in the Chu family's courtyard back then.

Chu Xuan lay on the chair, leisurely and carefree, no longer cultivating.

He raised his head and looked out of the valley.

When he had entered this section of the Heavenly Sun World, he had sensed that there was a probing force which could detect the strength of living beings.

It should be the ability of some treasure.

Fortunately, the level of the treasure was too low, and could only probe the strength of living beings up to the heaven realm.

Chu Xuan was not bothered by it, and did not even need to prepare any countermeasures to avoid it.

He also did not probe its source.

He felt that he should not use his strength too much in such a low-level area. Otherwise, his future life would be less fun.

Now, he was the max-level boss in this desolate section of the Heavenly Sun World.

He looked at the system's new function.

First, he tried to use the derivation function.

"Can you derive the origin of the chaos?"

The chaos was not simple, and Chu Xuan attached great importance to it.

Therefore, the first thing he wanted to know was how the chaos came to be.

"The derivation request far exceeds your level. You will need to consume 80% of your origin energy. Do you want to proceed?"

80% of its origin energy?

Chu Xuan immediately canceled the derivation request.

Consuming 80% of his origin energy would not only damage his cultivation foundation, but would also reduce his lifespan.

Furthermore, consuming large amounts of origin energy would make it impossible to replenish.

Chu Xuan naturally would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Can you simulate the great battle between the Heavenly Sun World and the chaos? What was the outcome?"

"This derivation request far exceeds your level. It will consume half of your origin energy. Do you want to proceed?"

Chu Xuan canceled the derivation request once again.

From the origin energy cost, he could already tell that the battle back then had been terrifying.

"Can you display the cultivation level of the strongest person in the Heavenly Sun World?"

Chu Xuan asked a different question.

He wanted to use the derivation function to obtain some useful information. Incidentally, he realized that he could also derive information from the system's estimate of origin energy consumption for each request.

"This derivation request has surpassed your level. You will need to consume one percent of your origin energy. Do you wish to proceed?"

Only one percent?

It did not seem like much.

However, one percent of his total origin energy was actually not a small amount.

It would take a long time to replenish.

Chu Xuan did not proceed with the derivation request.

He had already gotten his answer.

In the Heavenly Sun World, there were experts that were much stronger than him.

Was it a Dao Creation realm expert? Or did Dao Supreme experts or Dao Supreme Rulers still exist?

Chu Xuan then took out Lie Tian's head.

He did not wake Lie Tian up immediately.

"How much origin energy does it take to derive Lie Tian's peak strength?"

"This derivation request exceeds your level. It will consume one ten-thousandth of your origin energy."

Chu Xuan now had a better idea.

Lie Tian had barely reached the Dao Creation realm back then.

If the derivation request only consumed one ten-thousandth of his origin essence, extrapolating the numbers, the strongest expert in the Heavenly Sun World had definitely reached the Dao Supreme realm.

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and tried again.

"How much origin energy does it take to derive the Dao Supreme Ruler realm?"

"This derivation request far exceeds your realm. It will consume one-tenth of your origin energy."

At this point, Chu Xuan was certain that the strongest person in the Heavenly Sun World was a Dao Supreme realm expert.
