The liver is a late bloomer!

In an unknown starry sea, ten thousand Golden Immortal Realm puppets formed a Five Elements Grand Array, easily suppressing a colossal starry sea beast of the Great Luo Realm that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

"Ouch~~"

The colossal star-sea beast, resembling a whale, roared in submission and bowed its head in the direction of Xu Chen.

"It's stronger than expected. The great formation composed of 90,000 Golden Immortal Realm puppets should be able to suppress stronger Great Luo Realm experts."

Xu Chen gently raised the Nine-Colored Puppet Reincarnation Tower in his hand.

In an instant, the 90,000 Golden Immortal Realm puppets transformed into streams of light and returned to the Nine-Colored Pagoda.

The great formation was dispelled, and the power of the Great Dao formation that had been suppressing the Star Sea Beast disappeared.

"Roar?"

The giant beast in the Star Sea looked at Xu Chen with a puzzled expression.

Xu Chen simply waved his hand, telling him to leave quickly.

Understanding Xu Chen's meaning, the giant beast of the Star Sea Domain directly entered the void and flew away into the distance.

"I won't need to take action in regular battles anymore." Xu Chen put away the Nine-Colored Pagoda.

"When I have time later, I will refine another batch of acquired spiritual treasures for these puppets to further enhance their combat power."

Da Xu held a jade slip in his hand, recording the performance of those Golden Immortal Realm puppets.

"Do you have enough resources?" Xu Chen asked.

"Of course it's enough. A billion catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals can buy so many things. Ordinary acquired spiritual treasures only cost tens of thousands of catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

"Alright, this large-scale acquired spiritual treasure has been successfully crafted. I'll start crafting the next one now." Da Xu said, and then he was about to return to the Black Crystal Ship.

"Wait, what's your next item?"

"I will refine a large-scale acquired spiritual treasure for you, specifically for cultivation. I went to the Temple of Ten Thousand Paths before and found that the Heavenly Dao cultivation world there was refined in conjunction with many Great Dao divine scripts."

"It just so happens that I have purchased a lot of Daoist script teaching courses from the Daoist Network over the years. Combined with the Daoist script I have accumulated, I can refine a large-scale acquired spiritual treasure similar to that kind of Heavenly Dao cultivation world."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen showed a look of surprise and delight.

"However, the cultivation effect is somewhat worse, barely reaching half the level, and it also consumes a large amount of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals during cultivation."

"Half is about right. As for the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, if we encounter any major clan territories along the way, we can exchange some more."

Inside the black crystal ship, Xu Chen looked at the light and shadow map of the nearby star sea, his gaze locking onto a place marked as the location of a Great Venerable World.

Xu Chen's plan to return home was not just to keep going home on the Black Crystal Ship; his goal was to find areas of spatial turbulence along the way.

Using the same method as before, teleport to a location closer to home.

To find areas of spatial turbulence, one can either try their luck in detecting them or inquire about such information from the various worlds and continents like the main world along the way.

"That world has been explored. According to the information sent back by the spy puppet, there is no spatial turbulence in the surrounding area, nor are there any major clans."

"However, according to their records, a force called Seeking the Dao once visited. It is rumored that there are Saint Venerable Realm experts in that force, but their specific location is not recorded."

The information that Da Xu reported on the spy puppet's findings.

"Since we can't find it, let's keep going."

The black crystal ship accelerated instantly and entered the void.

In the void, the black crystal ship, traveling at high speed, revealed a special hidden immortal array on its hull, blending into the surrounding void.

With this formation in place, even a Saint Venerable Realm expert would not be able to detect the Black Crystal Ship unless they encountered it face-to-face within a thousand miles.

Within the cultivation secret realm of the Black Crystal Ship, Xu Chen comprehended the Dao of the Sacred Soul, slowly strengthening his own divine soul through his own insights and supernatural abilities.

A phantom image of the Holy Soul appeared behind Xu Chen.

This enlightenment took three thousand years.

For the past three thousand years, the Black Crystal Ship has been traveling and stopping in the Star Sea.

They discovered more and more events at the Golden Immortal level or above. Spy puppets were dispatched to collect information, which was then analyzed by Xu Chen's clone on the Black Crystal Ship, but all of it was worthless.

On this day, the Black Crystal Ship sailed through the void as usual.

Xu Chen finished his cultivation and came out to check the Black Crystal Ship's progress during this period.

Upon arriving at the control room, Xu Chen discovered something quite interesting.

"A hundred trillion miles away from the Black Crystal Ship, in the void, there are two Acquired Spirit Treasure Flying Boats, one fleeing and the other pursuing. The aura of a Great Luo Realm expert has been detected in the flying boats," the Black Crystal Ship's artifact spirit reported.

Two light screens appeared in front of Xu Chen, displaying the scene inside the Acquired Spirit Treasure Flying Boat.

Inside the flying boat that had escaped, a powerful expert at the Great Luo Realm was protecting a group of young men and women who had not yet embarked on the path of immortality and whose faces were still immature.

The race inside this airship looks the same as humans, except for their eyes, which display a variety of dazzling colors.

The flying boat carrying the acquired spiritual treasure behind them had three powerful experts at the Great Luo Realm. One of them, an alien race, was extremely ugly, standing ten feet tall with a snake's head and a human body, and a huge tail behind him.

"I can tell right from wrong at a glance."

The flying boat carrying acquired spiritual treasures that was chasing from behind was faster, and it wouldn't take long for it to catch up with the flying boat in front.

"Should we intervene?" Xu Chen pondered, stroking his chin. Normally, he wouldn't meddle in such matters, whether they were righteous or evil.

But as he was returning home, he suddenly saw a race of aliens resembling humans being chased and killed, which inevitably stirred some compassion in Xu Chen.

"Perfect timing to test the power of the Puppet Reincarnation Tower." "Change direction, let's go!"

As Xu Chen gave the order, the black crystal ship suddenly changed direction and flew towards the direction that the two flying boats were chasing.

Inside the flying boat that was escaping ahead, Hua Wuyou was frantically using his own power to propel the immortal boat.

"Uncle Hua, the snake-evil clan wants us."

"Hand us over, and you can leave." A boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old said firmly, his eyes filled with fear.

"Do you know what you'll face if you hand you over?"

“That was endless torment, the object of their vengeance for the near extermination of their clan.” Hua Wuyou stared intently at the void in front of her.

"Then Uncle Hua should kill us all right in front of them, destroying our souls and spirits, so that we can be spared any pain." The boy said, turning back to look at his younger siblings, his voice trembling slightly.

The powerful cultivator at the Great Luo Realm who propelled the flying boat with his own essence remained silent.

He knew that if he tried to escape, he would eventually be caught. So, the only thing he could do was to destroy the souls of the children he was protecting.

"Uncle Hua, make the decision. You've consumed too much of your essence; in the end, you won't be able to escape either."

The boy's fearful gaze turned resolute. He looked at his younger siblings and gently comforted them, "Let's bear with it for now. When it hurts a little, we won't have to live this life of running away anymore."

Just as Hua Wuyou was struggling with her dilemma and the many youths were filled with fear, a leisurely voice rang out from inside their flying boat.

"Do you need a Didi ride-hailing service? If you can afford the price."

Xu Chen wanted to help, but he definitely wouldn't do it for nothing; he would naturally expect something in return for his efforts.

Hua Wuyou, who was originally conflicted, immediately looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

"Yes, I'm willing to offer ten million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals." Although Hua Wuyou couldn't sense Xu Chen's aura, she couldn't care less about that now.

"You want me to take action? Ten million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals won't be enough."

"If there's no innate spiritual treasure embryo or innate spiritual treasure, then I can only watch from the sidelines," Xu Chen said leisurely.

"Yes! I have a primordial spiritual treasure."

The boy's eyes lit up, and he suddenly took out a celestial pearl that exuded the aura of an innate spiritual treasure.

Hua Wuyou looked at the innate spiritual treasure, hesitant to speak, his lips twitching several times before finally letting out a sigh.

"That makes things easier. By the way, do those three Grand Luo Realm experts chasing you have any good stuff?" Xu Chen asked again.

"Yes, they possess a Primordial Treasure of Cause and Effect, capable of breaking through the void and myriad things. Even with just a trace of aura in the River of Myriad Paths, they can find the true spirit."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen's eyes lit up.

"I'll take this job. Seniors, just help me hold off one of the Great Luo Realm experts for half a day during the battle."

As Xu Chen finished speaking, Hua Wuyou and the young men and women on the flying boat all looked at him with a "you're joking" expression.

Just then, a spatial gate opened in front of the acquired spiritual treasure flying boat controlled by Hua Wuyou, and the flying boat rushed into it instantly.

At this moment, Hua Wuyou was thrown into the void by a spatial force, facing the acquired spiritual treasure behind him.

"Hua Wuyou, you think you can cover our retreat? Dream on!"

"Hehehehehe... None of you will escape. When the time comes, I will use all the punishments of my clan on you one by one."

"And those little ones you're protecting will suffer the same fate as you, a fate worse than death!"

Three powerful cultivators at the Great Luo Realm appeared in the void.

Hua Wuyou's expression was complicated, as if she had been thrown onto a pirate ship.

Just then, a massive array enveloped the surrounding void, and a primordial spiritual treasure, the Star Cauldron, locked the surrounding space.

Xu Chen appeared in the formation, holding the Xuan Sha Blade, standing alongside Hua Wuyou.

When Hua Wuyou sensed Xu Chen's terrifying aura and those two innate spiritual treasures, the complexity in her eyes lessened slightly, and a glimmer of hope ignited within her.

"Young friend, how should we fight later?"

Xu Chen glanced at the three Great Luo Realm experts and casually said, "Senior, just pick the weakest one to stop."

"Hua Wuyou, you old codger, you actually called for help, and it's a Golden Immortal at that. Even the strongest Golden Immortal is still just a Golden Immortal."

One of the strongest Grand Luo Realm experts suddenly took a step forward, and countless black shadows surged out from beneath his feet, emanating a dark and corrosive power.

"Young friend, be careful. This is the most insidious divine power of the Serpent Clan. Do not let these shadows entangle you." A silver spear appeared in Hua Wuyou's hand, emitting a light from a postnatal spiritual treasure.

"No need for you to worry, senior. Let's start the war."

Xu Chen transformed into the true form of the Great Dao, and a three-thousand-foot-tall tower appeared within the great formation.

Ninety thousand Golden Immortal Realm puppets lined up and formed the Five Elements Yin Yang Grand Array, directly trapping the strongest Daluo Realm expert.

"I am now, the God of Heavenly Blade!"

"I command, cleanse!"

Xu Chen charged toward another Great Luo Realm expert, leaving the weakest one to Hua Wuyou.

Hua Wuyou, wielding a long spear, charged towards the last easy target, a powerful expert at the Great Luo Realm.

"Stepping into the light!" (End of Chapter)
