The liver is a late bloomer!

Xu Chen left seclusion without consolidating the Great Immortal's words.

The insights he gained from the Great Immortal's teachings far surpassed those of any supernatural abilities he had ever cultivated before, and he didn't know how many years it would take for him to digest them in seclusion.

Xu Chen decided to spend this time traveling within the human territory, doing quests from time to time, and in the meantime, slowly digesting his insights from the Great Immortal's teachings.

In the Nine Imperial City, Xu Chen brought Su Yueyao to the Four Seas Restaurant to taste the dishes that had been added to the menu over the past few thousand years.

"This is good. Nine kinds of soup, each sip has a different feeling, because of his nine kinds of laws power."

"Yueyao, drink more; it will be good for your cultivation."

Xu Chen served Su Yueyao a bowl of nine-course soup and then went to taste the other dishes himself.

"Husband, have you made any breakthroughs in your cultivation recently? After you went into seclusion after that meal, you seemed different to me," Su Yueyao said after taking a sip of soup.

"You can feel that."

What was your impression of me after I came out of quarantine?

Xu Chen looked at Su Yueyao with curiosity.

"It's that kind of natural way, as if all the principles are accompanying my husband," Su Yueyao said after thinking for a moment.

"There have indeed been some breakthroughs, but it's rather peculiar that you feel this way."

Xu Chen concealed his aura, and when Su Yueyao looked at him again, she felt that her husband was just an ordinary Golden Immortal Realm expert.

"My husband's control over himself has reached a state of perfection," Su Yueyao said admiringly.

Hearing Su Yueyao's praise, Xu Chen simply smiled.

For a period of time afterward, the two dined at various restaurants and visited some scenic spots in the main world.

At the summit of Nine-Colored Mountain, one can feel the five elements of the universe.

At the Golden Immortal Pool, Xu Chen and Su Yueyao soaked in the Immortal Charm Hot Spring.

On Tianmen Void Island, Xu Chen led Su Yueyao to watch the turbulent sea of ​​clouds.

Within the vast ocean of dragons, the two rode dragons with carefree joy.

After a hundred years of travel, Xu Chen was still not satisfied when he received a message from the Great Venerable Qingzhu.

The headquarters of the Human Emperor Temple is located within the Qingzhu Secret Realm.

"Greetings, Great Venerable Qingzhu."

"No need to bow every time, we're already so familiar with each other."

After Xu Chen sat down, Qingzhu Dazun handed him a cup of freshly brewed bamboo leaf tea.

"Why did Your Excellency summon me here?"

"What you did in the Asura Clan has been discovered, and the Holy Venerables of both clans have come to the Human Clan seeking an explanation," said Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

"What explanation do you need? We've already torn each other apart, let's see who has the best ability."

“I did it flawlessly, even the Holy Venerable’s time-space tracing can’t find me in the cause and effect.” Xu Chen’s tone was somewhat doubtful.

"We didn't find anything on you, but one of the acquired spiritual treasures crafted by the Saint-grade weapon refiners you brought with you fell into the hands of the Asura Clan."

"It just so happens that the Asura clan member is a Saint-grade weapon refiner. He deduced this from the traces of the acquired spiritual treasure's crafting and his habits." Grand Venerable Qingzhu's expression was somewhat helpless.

"Those alien Saint-grade weapon refiners are best suited for the production line. Wouldn't it be misleading to have them refine acquired spiritual treasures?"

"Why did the Holy One summon me here?"

"I called you here because I want you to recruit another batch of Saint-grade weapon refiners from the Spirit Clan. We received a message from the Spirit Clan that a powerful member of the Asura Clan has stolen three Saint-grade weapon refiners from the Spirit Clan."

"This has attracted the attention of the Spirit Clan, who have tightened their protection over all their Saint-grade weapon refiners."

"But it was precisely because of this that I discovered a vulnerability."

When Qingzhu Dazun spoke of this matter, he seemed somewhat excited.

"What loophole?" Xu Chen became interested; no matter how many alien Saint-grade weapon refiners came, he wouldn't have enough.

"The secret realm protecting those Saint-grade weapon refiners was built by powerful individuals who had been lurking in our clan in the past."

"Ah!!" Xu Chen exclaimed in surprise.

"Wasn't it detected?"

“A Grand Venerable Realm array master has been planning this for over ten thousand years, and the Spirit Race completely trusts him,” said Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

"Given the situation, why would you need me to do anything? Am I supposed to be bait?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Yes, you'll be used as bait, but this time you'll be protected by two human saints, so your safety is absolutely guaranteed."

Upon hearing the plan, Xu Chen couldn't help but voice his doubts.

"How many alien Saint-grade weapon refiners are there in that secret realm? It's worth paying such a high price. An undercover agent who is also a Saint-grade formation master can play an unimaginable role in a critical moment."

"There are more than fifty Saint-grade weapon refiners in that secret realm. As for that undercover agent, he can't hide any longer."

"The strongest Saint Venerable Realm expert of the Spirit Race recently found an innate treasure deep in the Star Sea Domain, called the Saint Mind Tower. Although it does not enhance combat power, it can detect cause and effect and know the deepest thoughts of the mind."

“Even a Great Venerable or even a Saint Venerable will have their deepest secrets exposed in the Holy Mind Tower.” The Great Venerable Qingzhu’s tone was somewhat low as he said this.

This Sacred Mind Tower can protect the Spirit Race from spies from other races who might try to gather information. More importantly, it will expose the most secret information if the Spirit Race captures a powerful human.

"Is this some kind of absurd! Just randomly finding a supreme innate treasure?" Xu Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, we have achieved it, so we must adjust our strategy."

"All the backup plans we've laid out with the Spirit Clan must be withdrawn now, as it will be much harder to gather information about them in the future."

"So instead of withdrawing, it's better to make a big move before then."

"Currently, there are two Saint Venerable Realm experts guarding the Spirit Clan's territory, one of whom is stationed in the secret realm."

If you were to sacrifice your true form and kill some powerful cultivators of the Spirit Clan at the depths of the Star Sea, it would surely provoke the Spirit Clan's Holy Venerable to take action.

At that time, the Spirit Clan will be missing a Saint Venerable Realm expert to oversee their territory. They can take this opportunity to move the entire secret realm out.

Xu Chen couldn't help but feel skeptical upon hearing such a simple plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

"Great Venerable One, I have a question. Surely the Holy Venerable of the Spirit Clan wouldn't just appear so easily?" Xu Chen asked.

"Of course not, so we need to set up a multi-layered scheme."

"Simply put, you made the first move to attract the attention of the Spirit Race."

"Then our Human Alliance will pretend to go to a place deep in the Star Sea where a Saint Venerable Realm expert fell."

"The Eldar also discovered this place, but that Eldar was a spy from the Raybane Clan."

"Therefore, as long as you go there, your value, plus this place where the Saint Venerable fell, will surely attract their Saint Venerable powerhouses with their backup plan."

"Therefore, if their Saint Venerable experts do not move, then the place where the Saint Venerables fell will fall into the hands of our human alliance."

"If their Saint Venerable level experts make a move, then all the alien Saint-grade weapon refiners in that secret realm will be ours."

Xu Chen was filled with admiration for the words of the Great Venerable Qingzhu.

"A series of interconnected schemes, coupled with overt scheming, it's truly impressive."

Xu Chen was completely impressed by the strategic planning of the Azure Bamboo Grandmaster.

"Besides, the spies within the Spirit Clan have other plans, hoping to take this opportunity to rip off the Spirit Clan." Grand Venerable Qingzhu said leisurely. "Grand Venerable, I suddenly want to ask, has our human race suffered any losses at the hands of the Spirit Clan?" Xu Chen asked. He felt that although the Spirit Clan was strong, they were like innocent victims, having been taken advantage of by the human race several times.

"We've also suffered losses. Many of our clan's Holy Venerables and prodigies have been killed by powerful members of the Spirit Clan."

"Especially in the last 10 years, the Elven race has been able to use supernatural powers to send spies into the human race, causing us to lose a lot of resources."

"The largest of these is a land of spiritual treasures. Outside that land of spiritual treasures, there is a giant innate spiritual treasure-level mine, which was stolen from our human race because of a traitor."

"After all, they are a powerful clan. They can't be as stupid as you imagine. Several of our human race's major plans have been discovered by the spirit race in advance."

"However, overall, our human race still has the advantage in the clash between the two races," said Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

"Understood." Xu Chen nodded, suppressing his initial disdain.

“Deep within the Star Sea, a fleet of innate spiritual treasures from the Spirit Race is compressing a batch of top-tier acquired spiritual treasure mines and heading towards the Spirit Race.”

"The fleet is guarded by three Spirit Race Grand Venerables, so your mission this time is to accompany the Human Race Grand Venerable to carry out the raid. You just need to demonstrate your combat power then."

"Just in case, Venerable Xuanding will send an avatar to follow you, to prevent the Spirit Clan Venerable from being actually drawn out." Venerable Qingzhu took out a mission jade slip and handed it to Xu Chen.

"Leave this to me."

"After this is done, could that Saint-grade weapon refiner give me a few more?" Xu Chen suddenly rubbed his hands together and laughed.

"Based on your contribution to the mission, you can get a maximum of two." Grandmaster Qingzhu looked at Xu Chen.

"Only two." Xu Chen was somewhat disappointed.

"In this way, I'll give you the authority to exchange for 8 more, which will be enough to form a production line."

“But what you’re exchanging for is a production line for acquired spiritual treasures. I don’t know if you can accept that,” said the Azure Bamboo Grand Venerable with a thought.

"Materials are not included in the labor cost," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"make a deal."

A black crystal ship flew out of human territory.

Within the secret realm of the ship, there are three Great Venerables and three Great Luo Immortals of the human race.

"No matter how many times I look at it, I feel that among all the innate spiritual treasures and flying boats of the human race, yours is the best," said the Dragon Elephant Grand Venerable with an envious tone.

"Great Venerable One, let's make a move this time and see if we can seize one or two innate spiritual treasure flying boats. Perhaps one of them can be given to you," Xu Chen said hurriedly.

“Those are just ordinary innate spiritual treasure flying boats, how can they compare to a masterpiece like yours?”

"How about selling them to me? I'll offer three innate spiritual treasure embryos." The Dragon Elephant Grand Venerable looked at Xu Chen with a smile, and the other two Human Grand Venerables also had smiles on their faces.

"Great Venerable, please stop teasing me. If this continues, I can't take it anymore and will have to report to Great Venerable Qingzhu," Xu Chen said.

"You brat, how dare you use the Green Bamboo Venerable to intimidate me?" the Dragon Elephant Venerable laughed and scolded.

"Who told Da Zun Guang to tease me?" Xu Chen said, pouting.

"Come on, come on, it'll take several years to get here anyway."

"I'll take advantage of this time to suppress my own cultivation level and have a good spar with you, to see just how far the combat power of my human race's most outstanding genius has come?"

As soon as the Dragon Elephant Grand Venerable spoke, the other two human Grand Venerables became interested, and the three Great Luo Realm experts who were standing to the side also came over.

"The Great Venerable One wishes to challenge me to a duel." Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"It seems you're quite confident. How about I raise my cultivation level to the Great Luo Realm?" Grand Venerable Dragon Elephant suddenly changed the subject.

He had sparred with Xu Chen before and knew that he couldn't win if he lowered his cultivation level to the Golden Immortal realm.

"That works too," Xu Chen thought for a moment and nodded.

On an illusory arena, Xu Chen, a Golden Immortal, and the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster, a Great Luo Immortal, faced off.

“Boy, I’m at the same level as you, and I’m not confident I can beat you.”

"But at the next higher level, you can't beat me."

"Although you have killed many Great Luo Realm experts, there are differences among Great Luo Realm experts."

On a desolate land, the Dragon Elephant Venerable directly transformed into his true form.

Xu Chen, holding the Acquired Spiritual Treasure Battle Blade, quietly watched the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster, pondering whether to go all out or hold back a little.

"Great One, if I were you, I wouldn't have said so much. It would be so embarrassing if we lost," Xu Chen said.

"I'll lose, hahahaha."

The Dragon Elephant Grandmaster burst into laughter.

As the battle began, Xu Chen took a step and transformed into his true form as a great sun, with nine great suns appearing in the sky above the battlefield.

The aura that Xu Chen unleashed in that instant caused the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster's expression to change. The slight contempt on his face vanished, and he began to regret the boastful words he had made at the beginning.

A great battle was about to break out, and the two sides fought as if heaven and earth were colliding.

Xu Chen did not use the divine powers he had learned, but instead used the most basic Three Thousand Blade Realms by wielding his sword.

From the first strike to the thirty-sixth, every single one was aimed at the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster.

The final strike completely annihilated all of the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster's original wishes.

After the battle ended, the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster walked out of the arena in shock.

"Each of those thirty-six strikes contained at least one great divine power."

"You brat, did you receive the inheritance of a supreme expert?" The shock in the eyes of the Dragon Elephant Grand Venerable had not yet dissipated.

"There were some fortuitous encounters," Xu Chen said with a mysterious smile.

"Has this sword technique ever been demonstrated to powerful figures from other races?" Grand Venerable Dragon Elephant suddenly asked seriously.

"No, I know my limits."

"That's good. Just use your previous combat strength when facing the enemy."

"Understood." Xu Chen nodded.

The two human Grandmasters who had just been watching the battle were both excited and somewhat dejected.

They were excited because such a powerful figure had emerged from the human race, so there was no worry about achieving great things in the future. They were also disappointed because they felt they had fallen behind the times. Once this prodigy advanced to the Great Luo Realm, he might be able to suppress them.

"Alright, kid, once you advance to the Great Luo Realm, you'll be able to suppress even a Grand Venerable expert."

"If you advance to the Great Venerable Realm in the future, you will be invincible. At that time, there will be very few Saint Venerable experts in the entire Main Realm who can suppress you." The Dragon Elephant Great Venerable looked at Xu Chen, his words filled with a special emotion.

"Your Excellency is joking. It won't come to that by then," Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Come, come, bring out your food box from the Divine Race. I'm in a complicated mood today, so it's good to have some drinks," said the Dragon Elephant Grand Venerable, waving his hand.

Xu Chen smiled and took out 10 food boxes from the Yushen Clan, which unfolded into tables of dishes.

The black crystal ship continued its journey through the void, taking three years to reach its designated location.

At this time, only three months had passed since they encountered the Spirit Clan's innate spiritual treasure fleet.

Xu Chen began setting up a large array in this area to intercept the Spirit Clan's fleet of innate spiritual treasures.

"The Myriad Star Prison Formation, this is the most top-tier formation among Saint-grade formations." One of the three Grand Venerables who had arrived had some knowledge of formations and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the formation. (End of Chapter)
