The liver is a late bloomer!

"Then thank you very much, Seventh Elder," Xu Chen said gratefully.

"If I cannot keep a prodigy like you, I will still treat you with certain courtesy."

"The Star Sea Domain is so vast that even if our race has three invincible Holy Lords, we cannot guarantee that we are the strongest race in this Star Sea Domain."

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say to you on behalf of Shenmu Academy."

After the Seventh Elder finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.

"On my behalf, I would like to invite you to have a friendly competition with my proud and arrogant nephew."

"He is also at the Golden Immortal Realm, barely ranking at the bottom of the 10 Prodigies Ranking."

"In this outer realm, he can be considered a peerless genius."

“Recently, I’ve noticed that my nephew’s Daoist heart has become somewhat arrogant. If possible, please give him a lesson for me.”

"Don't rush to refuse, I will conceal your identity." Seeing Xu Chen's humble demeanor, the Seventh Elder quickly said.

"If we don't want to reveal our identities, we can give it a try."

"However, the elder still needs to carefully consider the extent of this attack," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"As long as he isn't killed, it's fine. Shattering his Dao heart to pieces and rebuilding it is what matters."

The Seventh Elder couldn't help but clench his fists when he thought of his nephew's arrogant face.

"Okay, when do we start?" Xu Chen assessed his own condition and felt he needed to control the force of his attack.

"One hour later, we will go to the unique combat secret realm of Shenmu Academy."

"So fast?"

The only secret realm in Shenmu Academy used for combat.

Xu Chen saw his opponent.

At this moment, Xu Chen transformed into a God of the Orcs with an ordinary appearance.

"You're the opponent my uncle found, and you don't look like much at all!"

"The chaotic and fluctuating laws of the Great Dao around him indicate that his cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities are not systematic."

"In this way, even the most abundant source becomes a target."

The opposing Yushen clan members had their eyes wide open and were arrogant, acting as if they were the best in the world.

"That's really asking for a beating!"

Xu Chen looked at the Seventh Elder's nephew with some speechlessness; this was the first time he had been commented on by someone of the same cultivation level.

"Let's begin. I hope you can surprise me!"

"None of the opponents my uncle found before could impress me."

"My name is Xu San. I don't know your name yet," Xu Chen asked.

"The weak don't deserve to know my name!"

The member of the Divine Race stepped forward, and a Dream Dao Law familiar to Xu Chen covered the entire battlefield.

A four-eyed demon god, a thousand feet tall, stood between heaven and earth, looking at Xu Chen and whispering in the darkness.

The power of the Dream Path seemed to merge into the world, transforming the entire battlefield into a different world.

In a battlefield ablaze with crimson hellfire, the Divine Race seemed to have transformed into gods of this world.

It was as if they were looking down on Xu Chen from the heavens above.

Xu Chen looked up at the giant face in the sky and couldn't help but laugh.

He now understood why the Seventh Elder had asked him to educate his nephew.

Golden Immortals who specialize in the Dream Path are indeed difficult to deal with. If they can't defeat someone and want to leave, even a Golden Immortal with equal or higher combat power can't stop them.

"What are you laughing at! In my dream world, you are nothing but an ant. I could crush you with ease!"

The giant face in the sky seemed to be angered by Xu Chen's smile.

"Once you enter my dream world, I will make you wish you were dead!"

"Let you experience the cruelest punishment in the world!"

A surge of dream-path power began to steal Xu Chen's karma and the deepest memories in his mind.

Xu Qiangjia and Wei Miaoqiu appeared in front of Xu Chen.

The moment Xu Chen saw his parents, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Dream World, is this all you have to rely on?"

As Xu Chen spoke, the entire battlefield slowly shrank, and a giant, seemingly controlling the heavens and earth, squeezed the battlefield between his two fingers as if kneading a glass bead.

"I was originally planning to play with you, but I brought you here and you're already doing all this."

The vast battlefield was held between the fingers of the dream giant drawn by Xu Chen.

This greatly shocked the God Clan on the battlefield.

He looked at Xu Chen in disbelief.

"Impossible! Even if you specialize in the Dream Path, you shouldn't be this strong, even though you're both at the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

"I, Shi Meng, am the strongest Dream Dao cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm of the Divine Race!!"

Shi Meng completely broke down.

"Little guy, that's not how you play with dreams."

The Dream Giant, in which Xu Chen had transformed, placed the small battlefield world in the palm of his hand and clenched it tightly.

Shi Meng's most prized dream world has shattered.

"what!!!!!!"

"Who are you? Who exactly are you?!"

"You're not even a Golden Immortal in the Divine Clan, a Dream Cultivator!"

"You ruined my dream, destroyed my Dao heart, I will surely kill you one day!!"

Upon hearing this, the Dream Giant that Xu Chen had transformed into revealed a mocking look in his eyes.

“If your uncle hadn’t come to me, you wouldn’t even be qualified to fight me.”

"Trying to kill me is like an ant trying to shake a tree!"

"Nine Nether Hells!"

In an instant, Shi Meng fell into the hellish realm of dreams and began to endure all kinds of torture and torment.

After doing all this, Xu Chen looked up at the sky.

"Keep tempering his spirit, don't let it out." A voice rang in Xu Chen's ear.

The Seventh Elder was admiring the miserable state of Shi Meng in the Nine Nether Hell, and his expression showed that he was very satisfied.

“Alright, I’ll go by the limit he can handle.” Xu Chen nodded.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea in the outside world, countless years have passed in the Nine Netherworlds of Dreamland.

At this moment, Shi Meng is enduring the torture of having her flesh scraped by hot oil in hell.

Ladle after ladle of hot oil was poured onto Shi Meng, who had already transformed into a mortal.

Every spoonful of oil poured on her body caused Shi Meng to scream in agony.

Just as Shi Meng's skin was half-cooked, an iron brush suddenly began to scrub her skin.

"Ah!!!! I won't let you get away with this!!"

At first, Shi Meng could withstand the torture, but as time went on and his beloved uncle did not come to rescue him, Shi Meng began to panic completely.

But the tortures in the Nine Nether Hells have only just begun.

"I was wrong~"

Shi Meng humbly admitted his mistake, thinking that his uncle would intervene to stop it, but the torture continued.

But the torture continued.

Just when Shi Meng felt she was about to collapse, the hellish scene before her eyes began to dissipate.

Meanwhile, Xu Chen had already headed to the most bustling street in the capital. In a secluded private room of a restaurant, Xu Chen savored the dishes that had been newly developed over 3000 years.

"Delicious~"

"When I leave, I must take more dishes from the Yushen Clan." Xu Chen's face showed a look of delight.

Just as Xu Chen was indulging in a hearty meal, the waiter responsible for serving the dishes arrived in the secret realm.

"Three people claiming to be your students wish to meet you."

Xu Chen, who was enjoying the food, was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Three immortal-grade alchemy students trained by Xu Chen walked in with respectful expressions.

"Greetings, Professor Xu." The three students immediately bowed deeply.

Xu Chen had learned some basic information about the three students in front of him. These three were the most prominent students from the most prestigious families among all the students he had taught, and each of their families had a Grandmaster-level expert.

"Get up. You know I don't care about these worldly matters."

"Come, come, take a seat and try the new dishes this restaurant has developed." Xu Chen said with a smile.

The three students were very obedient and walked to the opposite side of Xu Chen to start tasting the dishes.

"Speak, what brings you three here?" Xu Chen asked, savoring his food as he glanced at the three students.

"We want to become Professor Xu's students!"

"No need to become an apprentice, earn it through your own strength."

“I will select the top 500 students in alchemy for more in-depth instruction. The three of you are quite talented and are among them.”

"There's no need to go through the trouble of finding a master; I'll probably be gone in tens of thousands of years."

"Eat some vegetables!"

Hearing Xu Chen's words, the three students looked disappointed.

"Professor Xu, would it be possible to offer you more in-depth instruction at some cost?" one of the students suggested.

"Tell me about it." Xu Chen looked at the three students with a half-smile.

Xu Chen was well aware of the reasons why these three students wanted to become his disciples.

Based on his understanding of the Divine Clan's alchemy over the past 3000 years, he could see that although the Divine Clan's alchemy was said to have incorporated the strengths of many schools, the integration was incomplete and the foundation of its inheritance was unstable.

According to Xu Chen, the Divine Clan can systematically train the children with the most outstanding talent in alchemy into Saint-grade alchemists, but beyond that, progress depends on their own comprehension and opportunities.

The alchemy skills that Xu Chen learned in the Holy White Space can mostly be traced back to the level of a Saint-grade alchemist.

This highly mature alchemical system has the potential to be developed to the divine level.

"One hundred crystals of the Great Dao Divine Source," the student said with great confidence.

“Deal. I know what your ancestor wants you to learn. Go back and tell your ancestor to make sure it’s worth the money.” Xu Chen agreed without much hesitation.

These one hundred crystals of Great Dao Divine Source are enough to perfectly restore the origin of a Great Venerable Realm expert. This deal is not a loss for Xu Chen.

The other two students' eyes lit up when they saw this.

Although they didn't know what was being traded, they knew it was definitely something good and they couldn't miss it.

So the other two students started contacting their families.

After finishing his meal, Xu Chen had three hundred crystals of Great Dao Divine Source in his hand.

Inside the temporary cave dwelling, Xu Chen looked at the one-inch-long, rice-grain-shaped Great Dao Divine Source in his hand.

"It's a pity that this Great Dao Divine Source can only be used after reaching the Great Venerable Realm, so I can only take it back." Xu Chen thought of those Great Venerable powerhouses among the human race who had fallen into slumber.

"Should we try to get more?" Xu Chen pondered.

"Forget it, it's too ostentatious. If I have too much of this, some powerful expert might be tempted to harm me."

This is Xu Chen's clone, who was in charge of teaching the students, returning to the cave.

"Main body, what's the matter that you called me back?" Xu Chen's clone asked curiously.

"I will teach these three students a stable lineage of Saint-grade alchemy." Xu Chen took out a jade slip and handed it to his clone, then shared more of his alchemy insights with the clone.

"What price did this thing sell for?" the clone couldn't help but ask.

"The Great Dao Divine Source is a good thing, anyway."

"As long as we didn't suffer any losses, that's fine." The clone nodded.

"Have you been to the outer realm?" Xu Chen asked.

"I didn't go, but the problem was solved. The things those alien powerhouses who harassed Da Xu did were exposed, and they were all arrested."

"That's good!"

“Teach those three students well. Our condition for going home is that we must train three Saint-grade alchemists,” Xu Chen instructed.

“No problem, those three students are highly talented, and it should take about 20,000 years,” the clone said after a silent calculation.

"This timing is perfect; the Reincarnation Puppet Tower on Da Xu's side should be finished by now."

Xu Chen could accept this timeframe.

In the outer realm, in a famous commercial city, Xu Chen found Da Xu's cave dwelling.

Upon entering, Xu Chen saw a huge cauldron that seemed to cover the sky.

"Huh? Why does your magic weapon factory look different?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

“Take a closer look; this is just one of the large components.”

Xu, who was refining a postnatal spiritual treasure, looked at Xu Chen with disdain.

"Your clone didn't come, but your real body did. You've come here to vent your frustrations, haven't you?"

"Yes, once everything has stabilized, the stagnant energy will actually grow faster if you start cultivating it again."

As Xu Chen spoke, he took out a food box and placed it on the ground.

The food box then automatically transformed into a large table, which was filled with new dishes from various restaurants.

"Don't take it out now!"

Da Xu glanced at the tempting dishes on the large table in the space, which were full of color, aroma, and taste, and then looked at the acquired spiritual treasure that was being refined.

"You're almost done refining it, a little longer won't make a difference." Xu Chen picked up his chopsticks and began to taste it.

Over 3000 years, top restaurants have been able to develop thousands of new dishes.

As for the dishes on the table in front of me, they are all new dishes that I have never tried before.

"Don't eat it all, I'll hurry up and finish refining it!"

Then, as if burning his inner universe, Da Xu quickly finished refining the acquired spiritual treasure in his hand.

Da Xu quickly sat down at the large table in the space, his chopsticks almost turning into afterimages as he swept up the dishes on the table like a whirlwind.

"Drink~"

After their taste buds were satisfied, Xu Chen and Da Xu raised their glasses and drank together.

After a hearty meal, Xu Chen felt that most of his pent-up frustration had dissipated.

"Twenty thousand years is enough time. By then, you will have a postnatal spiritual treasure that can fight against a Grand Luo Realm expert and save your life from a Grand Venerable Realm expert."

"With the addition of the innate spiritual treasure flying boat, as long as we don't encounter a Saint Realm expert head-on in the Star Sea Domain, we will be absolutely safe." Da Xu sipped his immortal tea, contemplating the future.

Are there enough resources?

"Barely, but once the spirit treasure factory is completed, we can mass-produce acquired spirit treasures for sale, and we won't have to worry about resources." Da Xu looked at the large components that were to be assembled into a spirit treasure factory in the distance of the cave.

"That's good!"

"You continue refining your treasure, I'll go back to cultivate, and my clone will complete the mission at the Divine Tree Academy."

"We will set off home 20,000 years from now."

As Xu Chen spoke, he looked in the direction of the human race, a place that haunted his dreams.

"Looks like you're getting impatient," Da Xu said with a smile.

"Of course, having become a Golden Immortal, I already have the ability to help the human race."

"One day, I will make the human race even stronger than this Divine Race!" (End of Chapter)
