The liver is a late bloomer!

"This is truly a remarkable divine ability. My power of origin, as a Golden Immortal, is definitely no match for yours," Xu Chen said calmly.

"You think burning your source power is all it takes!"

"I can sacrifice my true spirit to make this small world consume both your and my true spirit."

"We will meet at the bottom of the long river!"

"With you, the pride of humanity, by my side, I will die a worthy death!" The expression of the Great Luo Realm expert from the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court grew increasingly ferocious.

"I may disappoint you. This supernatural power is not bad, but it is full of flaws to me."

As Xu Chen spoke, a blazing divine fire ignited from the very essence of the Great Luo Realm expert of the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court.

Under Xu Chen's icy gaze, the Great Sun Divine Fire grew even hotter.

"Ah!! I'm not reconciled!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream emanated from the ball of sun fire.

"What's there to be resentful about? You're not the only one who has perished at the Great Luo Realm under my blade."

The agonizing screams grew weaker and weaker as the powerful Grand Luo Realm expert from the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court turned to ashes.

Xu Chen walked out of it, and the small world shattered.

At this moment, the spatial battle formation changed, releasing two more Great Luo Realm experts.

The two powerful figures from the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court who had just entered the Great Luo Realm quickly fell into a deep sleep under Xu Chen's ferocious blade strikes.

At this moment, Xu Chen looked down at the Holy City, where tens of thousands of Golden Immortal Realm experts were besieging a spatial battle formation composed of Golden Immortal Realm puppets.

Xu Chen casually unleashed a slash, and the terrifying sword intent instantly pierced into the divine senses of all the Golden Immortals below.

"Start looting!"

Xu Chen suddenly waved his hand, and the million Golden Immortal Realm puppets scattered, flying into the Holy City below like celestial maidens scattering flowers.

This scene unfolded in the holy cities of the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court across various continents.

At this time, the human race resembled the villainous race in the novel, carrying out a massacre against all living races.

But in Xu Chen's eyes, this scene was a harmonious and beautiful melody.

"After so many years, I finally have the ability to take control of this moment."

"I wonder how many good things we'll be able to loot this time."

Just as Xu Chen was admiring the scene below, a Golden Immortal Realm puppet sent him a message that it had discovered the Holy City's treasure vault.

Xu Chen took a step and arrived at the place marked by the Golden Immortal Realm puppet.

Layer upon layer of void formations, totaling a hundred layers.

"Ridiculous, such a formation can only defend against those brutes."

Xu Chen stretched out a finger and gently tapped the void.

In an instant, the hundred-layer void array was unlocked layer by layer.

A portal appeared in front of Xu Chen.

Xu Chen stepped through the spatial portal, and the scene before him changed.

Millions of small spaces are scattered throughout the void, and each small space contains a magical treasure.

In the distance, there is a long river formed from spiritual liquid, containing countless low-level spiritual treasures. Those who are in the river can retain their spirituality.

"This isn't anything special either."

Xu Chen strode into the deeper part of the treasure vault.

After breaking through a spatial barrier, Xu Chen arrived in a space formed by four ice walls.

In the center of this world of ice walls, there is a bright blue twelve-petaled lotus flower.

"The twelfth-grade Heavenly Ice Lotus can barely be considered a spiritual medicine of the innate spiritual treasure level."

"We can keep this; it can be used as the main ingredient for refining divine-grade pills later."

Xu Chen stepped into another space, where a sword-shaped leaf, ten feet long, floated. Amidst a dense aura of the Great Dao's origin, a life-giving sword intent emanated.

"This is……"

Xu Chen waved his hand gently, and the leaf flew into his hand.

In an instant, Xu Chen felt a strong life sword intent, and within this sword intent, he sensed a trace of the concept of reincarnation.

"Life is a cycle, and life goes on forever."

Xu Chen's divine sense followed this sword intent to explore deeper levels of cause and effect.

At that moment, the divine sense seemed to have triggered the deepest memories of the sword-shaped leaf.

Xu Chen, holding the leaf, gradually became dazed, his face showing shock.

His divine sense traveled through the space of the Myriad Rivers and saw a giant tree whose canopy was larger than the entire main world.

The leaf in Xu Chen's hand had developed a trace of spirituality on one of the tree branches, then detached from the giant tree and entered the River of Myriad Paths, where it was eventually found by a great venerable of the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court.

"Just a single leaf is equivalent to the embryo of a primordial spiritual treasure, so what about the entire giant tree!" Xu Chen murmured, the shock on his face still lingering.

At that moment, a voice rang in Xu Chen's ears.

"Seek the Way, return to the source, I will bless you~"

The sound was like the sound of ten thousand streams converging together.

Within that sound, Xu Chen sensed an indescribable power.

"Senior, I will help him find the Way and return to the source."

Xu Chen looked at the sword leaf in his hand and said solemnly.

After accepting the sword leaf, Xu Chen wandered around the treasure vault a few more times. The best items were the top-tier acquired spiritual treasures and a batch of spiritual herbs.

"There was some progress, though."

Xu Chen waved his hand, transferring the entire treasure vault to the secret realm of the Black Crystal Ship.

Xu Chen then went to the treasure vaults of the various families in the Holy City.

Xu Chen plundered the entire continent for a full half month.

Xu Chen looted almost all the major cities.

In the end, even the secret realm of the Black Crystal Ship couldn't hold it all.

Xu Chen then stuffed it into the innate spiritual treasure space that he carried with him.

The vast spiritual treasure space was also half full.

Just as Xu Chen was about to continue looting the smaller areas, he received a message from the Human Emperor Temple.

"They've already retreated. They haven't even searched those alien races from the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court who fled the city with their treasures."

Although Xu Chen felt it was a pity, he quickly maneuvered the black crystal ship to retreat.

In the Great Stream Sect Master's world, millions of disciples gathered around a towering mountain formed from treasures, spiritual objects, and medicinal herbs, beginning to sort through each item one by one.

The Golden Immortal elder in charge of the sect's treasury watched this scene with a smile that never faded.

"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts; the old saying is indeed true."

These things may not be worth much in Xu Chen's eyes, but they are magnificent.

"Did you find anything good?" Yang Wanshan asked from the side.

"A Heavenly Ice Lotus of the Innate Spiritual Treasure level."

"A top-tier innate spiritual treasure in the shape of a sword."

"The rest are over nine hundred embryos and spiritual treasures at the level of acquired spiritual treasures."

"I'll accept all of these. As for the rest, I'll put them all into the Great Stream Sect's treasury to be used as benefits for the disciples," Xu Chen said magnanimously, waving his hand.

"We can't give out this many benefits. You've plundered resources for a week, enough for disciples below the Golden Immortal level in the sect to use for millions of years."

The mountain of treasures that Xu Chen released is only a part of it; much more is still hidden within the Black Crystal Ship's secret realm.

"Just handle it as you see fit."

"Oh right, I also need to go to the Temple of the Human Emperor. I have to pay 20% tax on this trip."

As Xu Chen spoke, he headed towards the teleportation point and was teleported to the Nine Emperors City.

In the secret realm of the Human Emperor Temple's treasure vault, Xu Chen transferred 20% of the treasures into the vault, instantly filling several small worlds. "My lord, your treasure vault probably won't be enough this time, will it?" Xu Chen said with a smile, his intention being to congratulate him on the gains from this mission.

"I wouldn't dare. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If something goes wrong when I enter the warehouse, Grand Venerable Qingzhu will surely send me to the 18th level of Thunder Prison," the Grand Luo Realm Immortal Official hurriedly replied.

"Please forgive me, sir. I shouldn't have made such a joke." Xu Chen said apologetically, seeing the celestial official's flustered expression.

"It's out of the way."

After chatting with the celestial official for a while, Xu Chen took his leave and headed to the Green Bamboo Secret Realm, wanting to know what the best thing he had obtained this time was.

Within the Green Bamboo Secret Realm, the Green Bamboo Venerable, dressed in a green robe, is enjoying a plate of crisp and tender stir-fried bamboo shoots.

"It's just in time that you've arrived. Try my spiritual bamboo shoots." The Great Venerable Qingzhu smiled involuntarily when he saw Xu Chen.

"Looks like I'm in for a treat today."

Xu Chen sat down at the dining table with a smile, picked up the chopsticks handed to him by the Great Venerable Qingzhu, and tasted a bite of stir-fried bamboo shoots.

"Elegant and refined, with tender lips and teeth, and a lingering fragrance."

Xu Chen felt that the stir-fried bamboo shoots were not very good, but he had to give face to the Great Venerable Qingzhu.

"Fine, it would be a bit much to ask someone like you who eats rare delicacies from mutant races to taste them."

As he spoke, Qingzhu Dazun savored the plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots.

"What do I want to ask you this time?"

"I'd like to know if we've managed to get anything good from the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court," Xu Chen asked expectantly.

"What do you consider a good thing?" Qingzhu Dazun picked up a piece of stir-fried bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.

"A supreme innate treasure~"

"There is an embryo of a supreme innate treasure, but unfortunately, our human race's divine-grade weapon refiners are not proficient in the divine runes of this kind of magic weapon and cannot refine it."

"I can take a look at the hemorrhoids!" Xu Chen's eyes lit up, ready to have Da Xu come over at any time.

"Even if you don't come looking for me, I will still let you know."

"This item is in the Human Emperor's Palace. I have already granted you permission to view it at any time," said the Great Venerable Green Bamboo, savoring the stir-fried bamboo shoots.

"I'll go take a look first~"

"By the way, I found a few immortal bamboo plants of the acquired spiritual treasure level over there. You can exchange them for them if you like."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he took his leave.

At the Human Emperor's Palace, Xu Chen and Da Xu followed a celestial official to a secret realm.

Upon entering, they saw the embryo of the innate spiritual treasure.

"No wonder the master craftsman said he couldn't make it. This small world formed by the myriad paths is something that ordinary people really can't make."

Looking at that colorful little world, Da Xu couldn't help but sigh.

"No matter how difficult it is, it won't stump you. Observe it a bit more, go back and think about how to refine it."

"Once I advance to the Great Venerable Realm, this will most likely be the first innate treasure you refine."

As Xu Chen looked at the small world, or rather, the embryo of a primordial spiritual treasure, whose appearance was constantly changing color, he couldn't help but think of the Myriad Paths Holy Temple of the Divine Race.

“I know what you’re thinking. This thing can be refined into a cultivation world of supreme treasure level.”

"A typical divine-grade weapon refiner could at most reach the level of the Myriad Dao Holy Temple."

“If you hand him over to me, he will definitely be several times stronger than the Myriad Paths Holy Temple,” Da Xu said confidently.

"Good~"

"You stay here and study hard. I'm going back to cultivate."

“Let’s go back together. I’m only at the Saint-grade level. If I want to study this innate spiritual treasure embryo, I’ll have to wait until you cultivate to the Great Luo Realm.”

"Moreover, if you want to refine innate treasures, you don't need to wait until you reach the Great Venerable Realm; the Great Luo Realm is enough," Da Xu said.

"Hmm? Have you figured something out?" Xu Chen was taken aback.

"It's hard to explain in a short time, so it's better to experience it for yourself."

Da Xu stretched out his hand, which shimmered with the light of shared insights. Xu Chen could receive Da Xu's insights as soon as he touched it.

"Sigh..."

Xu Chen looked at the spiritual light of enlightenment in Da Xu's hand, thought for a moment, and then told Da Xu to take it back!
"No need, you can keep these things under your control. I can take them myself if I need them," Xu Chen said, waving his hand.

"You really are..." Da Xu looked at Xu Chen with a hint of resentment.

"Let's go. I'll go back and focus on my cultivation, striving to advance to the Great Luo Realm as soon as possible!"

Xu Chen brought Da Xu back to the Great Stream Sect Master's World, but before he even returned to his cave, he received a message.

"There's a problem with the Five Elements Divine Jade mine!" Xu Chen said, looking at Yang Wanshan.

“A group of giant beasts from the Great Luo Realm Star Sea discovered the Five Elements Divine Domain mineral veins and made it their lair.”

“We are currently driving away the elders and disciples who are stationed there,” Yang Wanshan said with a headache.

"The news just came back, and I haven't yet commissioned the Imperial Temple to issue a mission."

"See if you have time." Yang Wanshan looked at Xu Chen.

"Go even if you don't have time."

"I'll bring the cultivation world with me this time, and we'll stay there for a while."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Da Xu standing to the side.

"You're coming with me too. We'll refine the Great Five Elements Sacred Domain cultivation world right there."

"Either is fine," Da Xu nodded.

"Let's go now!"

"Take a group of Golden Immortal Realm disciples with you; they can help with some odd jobs," Sheng Qing quickly arranged.

"Okay, so I won't be bored there all by myself."

Two days later, the black crystal ship flew from the human space passage to the depths of the star sea.

Because there were safe and stable spatial coordinates along the way, Xu Chen arrived at the super-giant Five Elements Divine Jade Mine in just three months.

A massive, endless mineral vein that covered the starry sea that Xu Chen could see.

A jade disc with a diameter of a thousand miles quietly awaited Xu Chen's arrival outside the mine.

"Greetings, Second Supreme Elder!"

Millions of disciples of the Daxi Sect respectfully bowed.

"Get up~"

"I will be stationed here for the foreseeable future."

As Xu Chen spoke, he transformed into a streak of light and flew into the Five Elements Divine Jade Mine.

Upon entering, Xu Chen saw the group of giant beasts from the Great Luo Realm Star Sea region, based on the location provided by the disciples of the Great Stream Sect.

Xu Chen, standing in the void, looked at the group of giant beasts.

"She's quite pretty~"

These giant beasts in the starry sea all look the same size.

Shaped like a dragon, with a round head and a cute appearance, its azure scales are adorned with starlight, shining along with the distant starry sea.

At this moment, the leading star-sea behemoth seemed to have noticed Xu Chen's presence and let out a soft roar in Xu Chen's direction.

Xu Chen understood the meaning behind the soft roar: it was a request for him to leave, as this was their territory.

Having understood the meaning, Xu Chen smiled slightly and sent a thought flying towards the giant beasts in the starry sea.

That thought told them that their sect had discovered this place first.

The giant beast in the star sea, having understood Xu Chen's meaning, was stunned for a moment before finally prying its tail and pointing in a direction.

All the giant beasts of the Star Sea flew in that direction, and Xu Chen followed behind them.

Before long, the giant beasts of the Star Sea arrived at a hidden lair.

On the mountains surrounding the lair, there are marks left by the giant beast.

Xu Chen observed that these marks were at least tens of millions of years old. (End of Chapter)
