The liver is a late bloomer!

Xu Chen had a vague feeling that if he didn't break free from this rigidity, he might transform into something similar to the Heavenly Dao in the near future.

But this eternity is extremely solid within the perception it forms, just like a mortal facing a cage made of steel, impossible to break from the inside.

"I must get rid of this feeling."

Xu Chen struggled desperately, but that eternity did not waver in the slightest; on the contrary, it became even more solid.

Xu Chen had a vague feeling that his emotions were slowly slipping away.

Although this eternal solidification is not good, Xu Chen can feel that in this state he can rapidly comprehend all the great laws he can perceive.

Xu Chen suppressed the strong urge to enter the Holy White Space and began to quickly comprehend the Great Dao Laws required to construct those eight Dantian Worlds.

In Xu Chen's current state, the previously obscure and difficult-to-understand laws of the Great Dao seem as simple as 1+1.

This state of mind made Xu Chen unable to resist becoming immersed in it.

As this eternal reinforcement was achieved, emotions gradually dissipated, and Xu Chen comprehended more and more of the Great Dao Laws.

He felt that if he were to break free from this state, the Great Dao Laws he comprehended would be enough to cause those eight dantian worlds to expand several times over.

This feeling made Xu Chen more and more addicted, and just as the emotions remaining in this state were about to dissipate, it was as if an alarm clock was triggered inside his body.

In an instant, Xu Chen's consciousness appeared in the Holy White Space.

However, within the Holy White Space, the body formed by Xu Chen's consciousness had eyes filled with divinity, devoid of any emotion.

Such divine gazes, if seen by ordinary beings, would lead them to mistakenly believe that they are seeing the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

Xu Chen stood silently in the holy white space. His eyes, which were filled with divinity and seemed like the Dao of Heaven, began to fade at an extremely slow speed, and a trace of humanity appeared in those divine eyes.

As time passed, seemingly eternal yet fleeting, the humanistic brilliance in Xu Chen's eyes overshadowed his divinity.

"This is……"

Sensing his own condition, Xu Chen showed a hint of doubt.

At this moment, Xu Chen made a strange discovery: the entire space began to shrink slowly, and the once infinitely large holy white space began to be slowly swallowed up by a black mist around it.

Until the Holy White Space shrank to a size of one million miles, Xu Chen's consciousness was expelled from the Holy White Space and returned to his body.

"I went into seclusion to sort out the hundred great Dao divine abilities and entered a profound state, but that state seemed to want me to become the Heavenly Dao itself." Xu Chen slowly recalled after recovering.

"Why is this so?"

Xu Chen slowly stretched out his hand, and a cup of freshly brewed spiritual tea appeared in his palm out of thin air.

After taking a sip, Xu Chen silently drank it all.

"Tea made from the essence of the Great Dao is nothing special."

At this moment, all the spiritual energy and primordial energy of heaven and earth began to converge towards Xu Chen.

Meanwhile, the eight dantian worlds within Xu Chen's body began to expand at an extremely terrifying speed.

"Let's cultivate first, and then we'll talk about it after those eight dantian worlds have expanded."

As Xu Chen spoke, he entered the small cultivation world.

Upon entering, Xu Chen instructed that there was no need to transform the small Heavenly Dao World; instead, the Origin Qi of the Great Dao should be directly injected.

Within the small cultivation world, the eight dantian worlds seemed to transform into black holes, frantically absorbing all the spiritual power and primordial energy of the Great Dao that they could absorb.

When he sensed that the cultivation world could not supply him, he took out all the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals and the Moon Nether Immortal Crystals he had collected, and asked the cultivation world to purify the Great Dao Origin Qi for his use.

Even so, the speed at which the small cultivation world purifies the origin of the Great Dao cannot keep up with the speed at which the eight dantian worlds absorb it.

Because of insufficient supply, the smaller cultivation world began to absorb the primordial energy of the Great Dao from the Great Stream Sect's larger cultivation world, which brought it in line with the absorption rate of the eight dantian worlds.

Sheng Qing sensed the anomaly in the Great Cultivation Realm and immediately ordered all the disciples and elders in the Great Cultivation Realm to leave. He then began to fully supply the evolved Great Dao Origin Qi to the Small Cultivation Realm where Xu Chen was located.

With a sufficient supply of the Great Dao's primordial energy, the eight dantian worlds absorbed energy at an increasingly faster rate, and their expansion also accelerated.

Xu Chen was immersed in this state of cultivation.

A thousand years have passed since then, and the eight dantian worlds have absorbed the time over that period.

Xu Chen was able to break free from this state only when the speed at which his dantian absorbed the primordial energy of the Great Dao slowed down.

At this moment, the eight dantian worlds, in their perception, had all expanded to a size of 1.5 billion zhang, and their own Golden Immortal Origin Power was a hundred times stronger than before.

Even after the eight dantian worlds had frantically absorbed the primordial energy of the Great Dao for a thousand years, the primordial sea within each of the eight dantian worlds was still not full.

Xu Chen sensed his own combat strength and recalled the strongest Golden Immortal expert of the Divine Race he had ever fought.

If this were today, he would be killed in three stabs at most.

"With such combat power, he should be considered invincible among those of the same realm."

Xu Chen left the small cultivation world with a thought.

"Husband."

Inside the cave, Su Yueyao fluttered towards Xu Chen like a butterfly.

Xu Chen then hugged Su Yueyao.

"I've been busy cultivating lately, so I'll spend more time with you this time I'm out of seclusion," Xu Chen said softly, stroking Su Yueyao's hair.

"Um, husband, you should go and check on the sect," Su Yueyao couldn't help but say.

"What happened to the sect? What's going on?" Xu Chen asked, puzzled.

"Nothing else, except... the sect has become poor."

Su Yueyao said something that Xu Chen found unbelievable, and then he suddenly realized that his eight dantian worlds had absorbed the original energy of the Great Dao for thousands of years.

"Then I'll go check out the sect first."

Xu Chen directly had the Little Heavenly Dao Formation open a spatial portal to the Great Stream Sect.

Upon arriving at the Daxi Sect, Xu Chen frowned slightly, noting that the spiritual energy within the sect was somewhat thinner than before.

Inside the main spirit hall, Yang Wanshan and Sheng Qing both breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Xu Chen.

"Yueyao said the sect is poor, so logically my cultivation shouldn't consume so much energy."

"Not counting the Great Dao Origin Qi in the Small Cultivation Realm, the Great Dao Origin Qi supplied by the Great Five Elements Sacred Domain to the Small Cultivation Realm in three days is equivalent to the entire sect's consumption for a year."

"This consumption continued until the Second Elder finished his cultivation."

"The sect's reserves of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals were exhausted in ten years."

"Later, we went to buy them, exchanged them in the Human Race Treasury, and in the end, we had no choice but to borrow money from the Human Emperor Temple to buy the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals to supply the Second Elder of the Supreme Cultivation."

"Currently, all three of the sect's acquired spiritual treasure production lines, including the alien race's holy-grade weapon refiner, have been mortgaged to the Human Emperor Temple."

Listening to Sheng Qing's story, Xu Chen couldn't help but recall his thousand years of cultivation experience, and it seemed that his consumption of energy was indeed quite great.

"How many Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals do you currently owe the Human Emperor Temple?" Xu Chen asked.

"1300 trillion catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals. With interest, the sect can pay it off within 8000 years." This time, it was Yang Wanshan who spoke.

"Junior brother, absorbing so much of the Great Dao's primordial energy, you must have had some extraordinary encounter."

“Let’s see how it goes,” Yang Wanshan said, his eyes gleaming.

“That’s easy. Just find me a powerful expert at the Great Luo Realm level from an opposing alien race.”

"I'll show you how to slay a Grand Luo Immortal with a single strike," Xu Chen said with a smile. With his current strength, this strike would be somewhat superfluous against an ordinary Grand Luo Realm expert.

"So strong." Yang Wanshan and Sheng Qing were shocked. "Slaying two with one strike is not impossible."

"Yes, from now on you can cultivate to your heart's content. If you need more, the sect will get a loan from the Human Emperor Temple for you."

“If it won’t be finished in 8000 years, then it will be 8 or 80 years. Your cultivation is the most important thing,” Yang Wanshan said.

"Don't worry, senior brother. We can't neglect the sect's development while cultivating. I'll go out and earn some extra money when I have time."

"Come on, we're happy today, let's have something good to eat."

Xu Chen waved his hand and took out 10 food boxes from the Divine Race.

"This is a bit of a waste, isn't it?" Yang Wanshan looked at the food box and couldn't help but swallow.

"It's rare to be happy."

Xu Chen then sent messages to Xu Xiyue and Su Yueyao.

Once everyone had arrived, they feasted and devoured all the dishes in the ten Divine Clan food boxes.

"I originally thought that the scenario I was looking forward to might still be millions or even tens of millions of years away."

"It's not even been two hundred thousand years yet, and the scene I've been longing for is already within reach," Yang Wanshan said, sipping his spiritual tea.

"With Junior Brother Xu's combat strength, after advancing to the Great Luo Realm, he can easily rival a Grand Venerable expert. In the future, he might even be able to defeat a Grand Venerable expert with a single strike."

"The higher the realm, the greater the gap between realms."

"Going further up, the gap between the Great Luo Realm and the Great Venerable Realm? It cannot be bridged by primordial power or supernatural abilities."

"However, I still have an advantage. I will definitely not be afraid of Grand Venerable Realm experts at that time, but it is really an exaggeration to say that I can kill one Grand Venerable Realm expert with one strike." Xu Chen also hopes that he can kill one Grand Luo Realm expert with one strike in the future.

"That's already amazing," the crowd said.

After chatting for a while, the group dispersed from the banquet.

Xu Chen returned to his cave dwelling, and his consciousness entered the Holy White Space.

Looking at the hundreds of Great Dao Divine Powers that had already been conquered, Xu Chen confidently pushed open the gate of the Great Immortal's Words Divine Power.

This time when Xu Chen came in, the supernatural clone didn't appear; instead, the person who made the move looked at Xu Chen with considerable interest.

"I didn't expect you to have actually learned over a hundred Great Dao Divine Powers. To be able to gather such a comprehensive collection of Great Dao Divine Powers is quite an opportunity," the Divine Power Clone couldn't help but say.

"I'm lucky, I managed to collect them all in one innate treasure." Xu Chen also felt that he had a great opportunity, but then he showed a wry smile.

When he pushed open the door and entered the room of supernatural powers, he realized that the great immortal's words and supernatural powers were just a joke.

Even if he had mastered hundreds of great divine abilities, he was still no match for the divine clone.

From Xu Chen's current perspective, the aura of this Great Immortal's divine power clone is no longer related to his cultivation level. No matter what his cultivation level is, he probably cannot defeat the divine power clone in front of him.

"Although I was joking at the time, once you have mastered and integrated the Hundred Great Dao Divine Powers, I will let you win this battle."

"Because you have passed my test."

"This space is stronger than I imagined, and it will become stronger over time," the supernatural clone said, looking around.

"Boss, is the test you're talking about the mysterious state I reached when I was merging with the Great Dao of the Northern Gate, a state that seemed to transform into the Heavenly Dao?" Xu Chen asked.

"Yes, I have seen many beings who defied the laws of nature, and they have all overcome this hurdle."

The supernatural clone waved his hand, and then the entire room began to change.

The two arrived at a cliff by the sea.

Under the bright sunshine, the sky was clear and blue, and the sea stretched endlessly into the distance.

Below the coast, towering waves crash against the shore, while not far away lies a golden sandy beach.

The warm sunlight shone on Xu Chen.

At this moment, both the supernatural clone and Xu Chen transformed into mortals.

The warm sunshine and cool sea breeze gave Xu Chen the feeling that the weather was nice today.

"Sit." The supernatural clone sat on the edge of the cliff.

Xu Chen also sat not far away on the edge of the cliff, looking at the sea in the distance.

"When you fight other supernatural clones, do they all advise you to use this supernatural power less often?"

"Yes, could you please tell me the reason?" Xu Chen nodded quickly.

"This great immortal speech technique should have been created by a powerful figure above the Great Dao, but even within the Great Dao, there are varying levels of strength. The powerful figure who created this divine ability must be among the top."

"As the saying goes, the Tao is endless, but in a certain realm, the Tao has an end."

"This is true both below the Great Way and above the Great Way."

"Just like the world you live in, there are only so many resources. If you want to obtain more resources and advance to a stronger realm, the only way is to seize them."

"Resources are thus, so is the way."

The supernatural clone paused for a moment after saying this.

But at this moment, Xu Chen was already terrified.

"is also like this."

A chill surged from the deepest part of Xu Chen's soul, a chill that seemed to come from a higher dimension.

"So, have you thought it through?"

"With this mysterious space, you don't necessarily have to embark on this path of struggle."

With a wave of his hand, the supernatural clone sent a bottle of chilled soda flying from the void toward Xu Chen.

Xu Chen didn't say anything, silently opened the iced soda and drank it all in one gulp.

"Big brother, are you considered a strong person on the Great Dao?" Xu Chen asked.

"I guess so, but in front of that person, I feel like an ordinary Golden Immortal Realm prodigy standing in front of you."

Hearing this description, Xu Chen felt an even greater chill run through his soul.

"I understand what you mean, senior."

Ordinary Golden Immortal realm geniuses from major clans might not even be able to withstand his aura. With such a huge gap, Xu Chen felt that taking other paths was fine, since they were all on the path of the Great Dao anyway.

Just as Xu Chen was about to leave the room where the Great Immortal used his supernatural powers, a sudden change occurred.

"It's too late. You have no choice now."

The body of the immortal's magical clone shattered, and the shattering spread throughout the room.

Like shattered glass, the entire room crumbled, and Xu Chen returned to the Holy White Space.

In an instant, endless insights into the divine arts and supernatural powers of the immortals flooded into Xu Chen's mind.

Feeling the divine insights surging in his mind, Xu Chen's soul turned icy cold.

"Never mind, things will work themselves out."

"What that big shot just said clearly implied that I would become nourishment in the future."

"But even so, it is still nourishment on the Great Dao. Before I reach that level, that powerful figure will not come to harvest me."

"Whether the Tao is finite or infinite, there is always a glimmer of hope." (End of Chapter)
