The liver is a late bloomer!

Xu Chen looked around at his colleagues who were also professors and realized that he was the only one who was not a member of the God Clan.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, since you've just joined the company, you'll get to choose the children in this year's class first," a professor of alchemy from the Shangluo Divine Clan said kindly to Xu Chen.

"Fellow Daoists, please make your choices first. I see that each of these children below has great talent, but my abilities are limited. Otherwise, I would like to take them all under my wing," Xu Chen said politely.

Upon hearing this, the other eight alchemy professors smiled, showing a slight liking for the newly joined alien alchemy professor.

Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, Shang Luo waved his hand gently, and ten thousand rays of spiritual light emerged from the void, scattering like celestial maidens scattering flowers towards the million Imperial God Clan students.

The students of the Divine Clan looked at the myriad shooting stars in the sky and all reached out to catch them.

A stream of light fell, and ten thousand children of the Divine Race received the orbs of light.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how about you take charge of teaching these ten thousand children?" Shangluo looked at Xu Chen.

"Then respect is worse than obeying orders."

Xu Chen nodded slightly, thinking that it didn't matter who he taught. Then he formed a hand seal, and ten thousand pre-prepared tokens appeared in the sky and flew towards the chosen children.

At this time, the other eight alchemy professors also began to select their students.

"Then who will teach the remaining children?" Xu Chen asked as he approached Shang Luo.

"There will be skilled alchemists of the Immortal Rank who will teach, and of course some important alchemy courses will be taught by our nine alchemy professors in rotation."

"I heard some time ago that a new professor of alchemy from another race had joined our campus. I had hoped to exchange ideas on alchemy, but I haven't met him yet."

“When you have time in the future, fellow Daoist, we might as well exchange ideas on alchemy,” Shang Luo said, taking out his identity crystal card.

Seeing this, the other seven alchemy professors also gathered around, taking out their identity cards to add Xu Chen's contact information.

"That's natural. I also want to exchange ideas on alchemy with you fellow Daoists."

Xu Chen then proceeded to add friends in a flurry.

At this moment, the children below had already lined up in their respective teams, with the nine alchemy professors each corresponding to one of the nine ten-thousand-person formations, while the remaining children stood in the main group.

In a grand arena dedicated solely to Xu Chen, he sat in the main seat, looking down at the ten thousand Divine Race students below.

Ten guards assigned to Xu Chen stood beside him; these were all guards who assisted with miscellaneous tasks outside of teaching.

"Professor Xu, how should we proceed with the teaching?"

"This is the information on these 1 trainees." The head guard handed Xu Chen a jade slip.

Xu Chen examined the jade slip with his divine sense before putting it down.

“My teaching method is a bit special. You just need to take care of the miscellaneous tasks outside of teaching.”

Looking down at the eagerly awaiting students of the Divine Race, Xu Chen formed hand seals, and a Dream World descended upon the entire training ground.

In an instant, all ten thousand Yushen Clan students entered their respective dreams.

“You’re lucky to have come at such a good time. Even the children in my tribe have never experienced such thoughtful one-on-one service.”

In the dreams of these 10,000 students, there is a dream where Xu Chen provides one-on-one instruction.

The fundamentals of Daoist alchemy include recognizing, identifying, verifying, and understanding medicinal properties; basic pharmacology; pharmacopoeia; and fire control.

Every step was personally taught by Xu Chen.

Xu Chen's clone was instructing the students here, while Xu Chen's main body was preparing to enter a state of cultivation in the cave.

"After entering the Golden Immortal realm, while these pure primordial energies of the Great Dao are important, even more important is the understanding of the laws of the Great Dao that one cultivates."

Eight enormous dantian worlds appeared above Xu Chen.

"The Five Elements, Yin, Yang, Wind, Thunder, Knife, Sword, Soul, Reincarnation, Dream Path."

"Looking back, the cultivation journey has been quite complicated."

Xu Chen looked up at the eight dantian worlds, knowing that from now on he would have to carefully comprehend his path to the Great Dao.

"To cultivate to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, one must fully comprehend and completely master each and every Great Dao Law."

"The changes of Yin and Yang, the rotation of the Five Elements, the wind and thunder roaming the sky, and the swords and blades wielding the power of the Great Dao."

"The Holy Soul Reincarnation Dream Dao is derived from the depths of the Great Dao, and the Dao is immortal."

“Every road is long, but for me it’s not too difficult.”

Xu Chen formed the Great Immortal's Words True Seal with both hands.

"I command you to witness the beginning of Yin and Yang."

In an instant, nearly 80% of Xu Chen's essence was drained away.

Xu Chen's consciousness was taken to a chaotic space.

Before the creation of heaven and earth, in the chaos, Xu Chen himself was a part of that chaos.

"At the beginning of Yin and Yang, chaos was first separated."

"I wonder what kind of force separated the chaos. Could it be that Pangu cleaved it with an axe?"

Just as Xu Chen was pondering, a chaotic force that had been condensed to its extreme suddenly exploded.

An immense power separated the chaos.

At this moment, Xu Chen, from the perspective of a wisp of chaotic energy, saw this scene of the beginning of chaos.

"No wonder the Space Dao is hailed as one of the two great Dao laws for achieving immortality. After advancing to the Golden Immortal realm, it is impossible to avoid it if you want to go further."

"In the beginning of chaos, there was already a space, and the even more mysterious time was probably born in this space."

As he experienced this scene of primordial chaos, Xu Chen seemed to gain some insight.

The pure air rises and the turbid air sinks. Although the yin and yang of heaven and earth have been separated, they are still in their most primitive state.

Xu Chen, on the other hand, transformed into a wisp of pure energy in the world and continued to observe this world.

As he was immersed in this scene, a feeling of weakness in his primordial soul pulled Xu Chen's consciousness back to his physical body.

The soul is weakened by 50%, and the essence is consumed by 80%.

Upon returning to his original form, Xu Chen nearly fell into a deep sleep, and it took immense willpower for him to take out the corresponding sacred pill and swallow it.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Chen summoned a postnatal spiritual treasure that stored his origin.

After quickly absorbing all of its essence, Xu Chen's essence was restored to 40% of its original level.

"Watching the scene of the beginning of chaos consumes so much of my essence. And I haven't even finished watching it. I almost exhausted my essence before I even saw the scene after the beginning of chaos."

"But I didn't lose money either."

As his original essence slowly began to recover, Xu Chen began to comprehend the insights he gained from the primordial chaos.

Xu Chen sat cross-legged in the temporary cave, with black and white light emanating from behind him. The light merged together and naturally transformed into a Bagua diagram.

Meanwhile, the first of the eight dantian worlds suspended high in the sky above the cave began to expand rapidly.

The boundless primordial energy of the Great Dao transformed into torrents that flew into the first dantian world.

Even so, it still couldn't keep up with the expansion speed of the first Dantian World.

Within the first dantian world, the two great laws of Yin and Yang began to slowly construct the first dantian world.

It expanded from 13.6 million zhang to 18 million zhang.

The power of the Yin-Yang Dao Laws surrounded Xu Chen.

The lost essence and soul began to recover rapidly under the nourishment of the Yin-Yang Dao principles.

Three months later, Xu Chen's original soul was fully restored.

Feeling my own state, I saw the first dantian world in the sky, which was somewhat unbalanced.

Xu Chen once again formed the Great Immortal's Words Technique Seal.

"I command, let the beginning of Yin and Yang be seen again!" In an instant, Xu Chen's own origin and soul power were once again drained by 80%.

Xu Chen's consciousness was transferred to the scene he had seen last time.

Transformed into a wisp of pure air, it continues to witness the evolution of heaven and earth.

Time flies when you're cultivating yourself; three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Divine Tree Academy, Xu Chen's clone looked at the students of the Divine Race whom he had diligently taught for the past 3000 years and nodded in satisfaction.

Through his unique dream-based teaching system, he completed the KPI of ten thousand years in just 3000 years.

This caused Xu Chen's clone's original stipend of 10,000 catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals to increase by half.

He will receive further awards based on the overall performance of his 10,000 students.

In the vast and magnificent training ground, the 1 students taught by Xu Chen respectfully bowed to him.

"Greetings, Professor Xu!"

The first 1000 or so people in line were all Immortal-grade Alchemists. As for the other students in line behind them, they were all at the peak of Mortal-grade Alchemists. With a little more effort, they could refine Immortal-grade Spirit Pills.

"It is said that each term lasts for ten thousand years, but some of your students with high talent in alchemy are already ready to graduate."

"I presume I have already planned out your future path in alchemy within the dream world."

"From now on, students who have reached the level of Immortal-grade Alchemist will no longer need to participate in these courses."

Xu Chen's voice echoed calmly and slowly in the air above the dojo.

"Professor Xu, we don't want to leave you. We want to become your disciples and follow your path of alchemy!"

A student with the best alchemy talent, a celestial-grade alchemist, led a group of students in a respectful bow, looking earnestly at Xu Chen.

This request had been made more than once, but Xu Chen had refused each time.

“I am a person of a different race and will eventually leave this place. If you really want to become my disciple, it will be detrimental to your future path of alchemy.”

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Although we are destined to be apart, if you ever have any questions about alchemy in the future, you may come to me while I am still here."

"Alright, let's start class."

With a wave of Xu Chen's hand, tens of thousands of students once again entered the Dream Path World.

Xu Chen, sitting in the main seat, chatted with Da Xu out of boredom.

"Big Xu, how's the progress lately? Is your spirit treasure factory almost finished refining it?" Xu Chen's clone greeted him as usual.

"It's still early. They said the construction period would be 8000 years, not a day more."

"It will be completed in another 5000 years. How are things on your end? If you have a holiday, come visit the Myriad Realms Main World."

“Recently, a group of powerful aliens with ill intentions have been coming to visit. If you come over and reveal your identity, it will save you a lot of trouble,” Da Xu replied.

"I happen to have some free time recently, so I'll go over after I finish this class."

Just then, Xu Chen's voice rang out.

"If all else fails, we'll move into the capital world. Even if someone here has ill intentions, they won't have a chance to make a move."

"Things in the capital world are too expensive. The price difference between the two places can be as high as 30%, which is hundreds of thousands of catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

“Where I am, there are powerful figures guarding the area. Even if they make a move, they will have to wait until I leave the outer realm.”

"Even a few more Grand Luo experts can't do anything to me," Da Xu said.

“Physical body, you need to have time to go and meet the Seventh Elder of Shenmu Academy in your true form.”

"The Seventh Elder has been complaining about you because I've always been using clones," Xu Chen's clone said hastily as soon as he saw Xu Chen's real body awake.

"Okay, I'll go see him to clear my head."

Inside the temporary cave, Xu Chen slowly got up and stretched.

He cultivated for three thousand years, and the result of these three thousand years was that the first dantian world expanded to 36 million zhang, and the other seven dantian worlds also grew to 15 million zhang.

By constantly observing the scene at the beginning of chaos, Xu Chen has gained a preliminary understanding of the complete Dao of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

The supernatural powers related to Yin and Yang and the Five Elements that Xu Chen is currently using are dozens of times more powerful than before.

Xu Chen now possesses the power to move heaven and earth with every gesture.

"After cultivating for 3000 years, it's time to go out and see the world."

"It's been a long time since I've tasted the delicacies of the ancestral god Yushin."

As Xu Chen spoke, he even felt his lips become slightly moist.

"However, we still need to go to Shenmu Academy before that."

After advancing to the Golden Immortal realm, Xu Chen's abilities to conceal and shield himself from cause and effect improved, allowing him to deceive even ordinary Great Venerables.

But it was clear that this person from Shenmu Academy could not hide it from him.

In a magnificent hall, the Seventh Elder looked at Xu Chen standing below, his expression a mixture of amazement and regret.

"I never expected that your true form would be even more stunning than when I first saw your clone."

"You can rank in the top 1,000 of the 100,000 geniuses in the Golden Immortal Realm."

If someone had said this to Xu Chen at any other time, he would have insisted on bringing out the top talents of this clan to test their abilities.

But now that they are in a foreign land and the Divine Race is so powerful, they have hidden themselves even if they want to fight.

Xu Chen believed that among the races of the Invincible Saint Venerable, there might be some geniuses stronger than him, but definitely not that many.

After saying this, the Seventh Elder looked at Xu Chen quietly for a long time before speaking.

"Aren't you interested in meeting him?"

"I am proficient in a side path, but I am not very good at combat and conquest. It is my good fortune to be able to enter the Prodigy Ranking," Xu Chen replied.

"Is it common for you humans to use such humble words as a form of boasting?" the Seventh Elder asked with interest.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Hearing Xu Chen's words, the Seventh Elder looked at Xu Chen with a half-smile.

"Logically speaking, according to past rules, a prodigy like you, once you enter the territory of my Divine Race, you will never be able to leave."

“If we wanted to, there are a million ways to keep you here.”

"But our people are at a critical juncture, and we should prioritize conservatism in all matters."

"So you are lucky." The Seventh Elder's tone was somewhat regretful.

Xu Chen gleaned the key information from the Seventh Elder's words.

"So before you leave, you need to complete the task that my Shenmu Academy has assigned to you."

"To train a Saint-grade alchemist and a Saint-grade weapon refiner."

"Don't deny it. Your clone in the outer realm is a top-tier Saint-grade weapon refiner, as rated by the Heavenly Dao of my Divine Clan. He's only one step away from the peak."

After listening to these words, Xu Chen pondered for a while before looking up at the Seventh Elder.

"What my clone is doing concerns my grand plan to return home, so I'm afraid I won't have time to teach my students."

"How about this, I'll help the academy train three Saint-grade alchemists?" Xu Chen changed his offer.

"That's okay too."

"In return, after you have trained three Saint-grade alchemists, the Divine Tree Academy will grant you free access to the Star Path Divine Tower." (End of Chapter)
