The liver is a late bloomer!

"I'm glad you're alright." Jiang Beici sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a pity that Senior Brother Xiao and the others haven't returned during the more than 1000 years you've been away."

"It's alright, we'll meet again someday."

After chatting for a while, Xu Chen returned to the Great Dao Palace Realm and took the teleportation array back.

After being teleported back to the main human realm, Xu Chen was summoned by the Great Venerable Qingzhu.

In the Green Bamboo Secret Realm, the Green Bamboo Grand Venerable stared at Xu Chen for a long time.

"The Human Emperor used Grand Venerable Hongqian to set up this scheme for so long, but I never expected it to end like this," said Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

"What was the result? Did the Great Venerable already know about the Great Venerable Hongqian before?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think that even with the help of secret techniques, a Great Venerable could conceal his identity?"

"The Great Dao of Humanity had already sensed that Grand Venerable Hongqian was problematic. After the Human Emperor paid a certain price, he learned about Grand Venerable Hongqian's secret technique."

"Then I laid out plans for nearly a million years, thinking that one day I would make a move against the most outstanding human genius with the potential to become a Saint Venerable, which would be a kind of opportunity."

Xu Chen looked puzzled after hearing what the Great Venerable Qingzhu said.

"If that seed takes root and sprouts in your body, that invisible seed will transform into the purest divine source of the Great Dao to nourish your entire body. At that time, when you cultivate, you will be able to consume the divine source of the Great Dao."

"If you raise your cultivation speed to a terrifying level, you might be able to advance to the Great Venerable Realm within a million years." Great Venerable Qingzhu's tone was somewhat regretful.

"Oh, is it okay now?"

Xu Chen took out the invisible seed.

"Fellow Daoist Qingzhu, it's been a long time." Grand Venerable Hongqian felt like a clown.

"It's been a long time. I never expected that you would have a chance to survive by chance." Grandmaster Qingzhu looked at the invisible seed and could only sigh at the unpredictability of fate.

At this moment, Grand Venerable Hongqian was extremely fortunate. If he had been parasitizing other human geniuses, he would have perished without a doubt.

"Great Master, can you put it back into my body now?" Xu Chen looked somewhat uncomfortable.

The Great Dao Divine Source can only be used after reaching the Great Venerable Realm, but the Human Emperor's plan is to allow him to digest the Great Dao Divine Source for cultivation while still at the Golden Immortal Realm.

"It's too late. The most practical method now is to refine it into your clone," said Grandmaster Qingzhu.

"Great Lord, I have enough clones for now."

"Why not refine it into a divine source of the Great Dao and revive our clan's sleeping Great Venerable?"

This was the first time Xu Chen had felt the downside of the great immortal's words being so useful.

"To be honest, it would be a waste to refine it into a Great Dao Divine Source."

"Give it to me, put it in the human race's treasury, and let the human race's powerful individuals exchange for it themselves!" That was all the Great Venerable Qingzhu could think of.

Xu Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Great Venerable One, can I exchange this? So that my parents can be reincarnated and start anew?" Xu Chen's eyes gleamed.

With his parents' talent, the Golden Immortal realm was the limit. Even with resources, he couldn't reach the Great Luo realm. In that case, Xu Chen felt it would be better to have one of them reincarnate and start over, while the other used human merits to advance to the Great Venerable realm.

"You want him to refine the seed and merge with your parents to be reborn and start anew?" Grand Venerable Qingzhu asked Xu Chen.

"I have this idea."

"It's not worth it, it's a wrong path. If it were someone else, then forget it."

“For someone like you who has the potential to become an invincible Saint Venerable, the best way is to use the Great Dao of Humanity to enhance your abilities,” said Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

Hearing the familiar words, Xu Chen felt like he had heard them somewhere before.

"Then let's do it this way. Oh, and let's spare the life of Venerable Hongqian and allow him to reincarnate and start anew," Xu Chen said.

"You promised that it would cost a lot to allow it to separate its seeds and reincarnate to rebuild itself," said Grand Venerable Qingzhu, frowning.

"He made the promise, and thanks to him, I obtained a semi-finished innate treasure."

Xu Chen now held a seven-bead bracelet in his hand, its seven colors gleaming and radiating the luster of an innate spiritual treasure.

"A supreme innate treasure!" Grand Venerable Qingzhu suddenly stood up.

"It's only a semi-finished product; it's still missing three beads, which I need to find myself."

“Actually, you don’t have to look for it. Once I advance to the Great Luo Realm, if I have the corresponding innate spiritual treasure embryo, I can also refine other parts and synthesize a complete innate supreme treasure,” Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Are the other three innate spiritual treasure beads far apart? If possible, we need to ask our human race's Holy Venerable to take action." Grand Venerable Qingzhu asked excitedly.

A supreme innate treasure of the combat type can enhance a Saint Venerable's strength by at least 50%.

"Moreover, it's very far away. The three beads are in three different directions. Even if a Saint Venerable expert were to take action, it would probably take tens of thousands of years."

“Given the current situation, if our human race loses even one Saint Venerable, it could trigger a full-scale attack from other major races,” Xu Chen said.

"It seems I can only wait until you are strong enough to go and find it yourself."

"Since you have obtained this innate treasure, then I will spare the life of Grand Venerable Hongqian," said Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

Upon hearing this, the Venerable Hongqian, who was in the invisible seed, breathed a sigh of relief. At least he wouldn't die and could be reborn as a human to fight for a chance at survival.

The Great Venerable Green Bamboo accepted the invisible seed.

"Great Venerable One, are there any other such figures in our clan?" Xu Chen felt it would be a great pity to miss this opportunity.

"That's all. The remaining ones are the spirits of heaven and earth who willingly reincarnated into the human race," said Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

"It would be a shame to miss this opportunity." Xu Chen said, taking a sip of bamboo leaf tea. After a moment of bitterness, a sweet aftertaste followed.

“The Star Sea Region of the Main Realm has been particularly lively lately. Would you be interested in leading a team for a while?” Grand Venerable Qingzhu asked Xu Chen.

"Forget the mission, I still need to cultivate."

"I'll go after I finish my cultivation," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment, his desire to cultivate still lingering.

"Then go and cultivate." Grand Venerable Qingzhu nodded.

After returning to the main world of the Great Stream, Xu Chen said a word and then entered the small cultivation world, quickly entering a state of cultivation.

Within the small cultivation realm, eight dantian worlds stretched out in the sky, frantically absorbing the primordial energy of the Great Dao like black holes.

This feeling of cultivation fascinated Xu Chen, a rare occurrence for him.

Cultivation knows no time; this time, Xu Chen went into seclusion and cultivated for ten thousand years before stopping.

The eight dantian worlds in the sky, each of them expanded to fifty million zhang.

"At this rate of cultivation, I will be able to advance to the Great Luo Realm in another 420,000 years."

Xu Chen did a quick calculation, and his expression became complicated.

"Four hundred and twenty thousand years of cultivation time is still a bit long. I need to find a way to speed up my cultivation." Xu Chen stroked his chin, pondering how to accelerate his cultivation.

Sensing the pent-up energy within his body accumulated over ten thousand years of cultivation, Xu Chen's consciousness entered his soul space.

That little colorful blade of grass is still there.

Xu Chen gently touched it, and the pent-up energy from his cultivation immediately dissipated, replaced by a renewed desire to cultivate. "Uh, let's continue cultivating."

Xu Chen returned to the small cultivation world. Before cultivating, he used the Great Immortal's Words to give himself many enhancements related to cultivation.

He continued his cultivation, and another 1 years passed.

After Xu Chen emerged from seclusion this time, he felt the pent-up energy within his body begin to surge.

Just as I was about to continue touching the colorful little grass in the soul space, I was interrupted by a thought.

"This colorful little grass is very useful; it would be a waste to use it only for cultivation."

"Let's get out of the pass first and let the pent-up frustration dissipate before we talk about anything else."

As soon as Xu Chen left the small cultivation world, he noticed that the spiritual energy outside the floating island cave was a bit strange.

"This ordinary spiritual energy from the outside world actually contains a trace of the primordial energy of the Great Dao," Xu Chen said, somewhat shocked.

A spatial portal appeared in front of Xu Chen, and stepping through it led him directly to the Great Stream Sect.

At this moment, Xu Chen sensed that Liang Xiaoshan was cultivating, so Xu Chen found Sheng Qing.

"Greetings, Second Elder." Sheng Qing was somewhat excited to see Xu Chen.

"When I came out of seclusion, I felt that the spiritual energy in the outside world also contained the primordial energy of the Great Dao. Has it developed so quickly in the past 20,000 years?" Xu Chen asked.

"It is thanks to the large-scale acquired spiritual treasure refined by your avatar, Elder Da Xu. This acquired spiritual treasure is named the Great Dao Void Realm Giant Spirit Array Plate."

"It was crafted ten thousand years ago. This large-scale acquired spiritual treasure can completely supply the consumption of the cultivation world of the Great Five Elements Sacred Domain."

“Sometimes, when the primordial energy of the Great Dao is not used up, it is dispersed into the Great Stream Sect world to enhance the foundation of the sect’s main world,” Sheng Qing explained.

"I see." Xu Chen nodded.

"How has the development been these years?" Xu Chen took a sip of the immortal tea brewed by Sheng Qing.

"The sect has developed rapidly over the past 20,000 years, and currently has one million Golden Immortal disciples. Below the Golden Immortal realm, the number of disciples who have embarked on the path of immortality is in the tens of billions."

"Currently, the Great Stream Sect has 49 Golden Immortal Realm worlds and 3 Great Luo Realm worlds."

"Within the sect..."

Sheng Qing quickly reported on the development of the Great Stream Sect over the past 20,000 years, which made Xu Chen nod repeatedly in praise.

"Among the myriad races of the main realm, the two forces have been constantly fighting and killing each other. It seems that our human race has managed to gain an opportunity to develop by playing both sides."

"So in the past 20,000 years, apart from the fake deaths of a few Grand Venerable experts in a war with hostile races, nothing else has happened that is worth paying attention to."

"Understood." Xu Chen nodded.

Inside the Great Xu Cave, Xu Chen saw a massive, ten-thousand-foot-tall acquired spiritual treasure as soon as he entered.

"What's this?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"The Great Dao Origin Spirit Gathering Array, this is the third one I've crafted." Da Xu admired his masterpiece with a very satisfied expression.

"The first one will supply the major cultivation world of the sects, the second one will supply the minor cultivation worlds, and the third one will be used by myself. It will increase the efficiency of the spirit treasure factory several times over."

"sharp."

Xu Chen looked at the Great Dao Origin Gathering Spirit Array with his eyes shining.

Inside the massive, ten-thousand-foot-tall acquired spiritual treasure, there were countless divine runes of the Great Dao, all interconnected, forming one after another extremely profound array.

"It seems you've learned a lot of new things over the years." Xu Chen noticed that there were many Daoist divine scripts inside that he didn't recognize.

"I've read through all the innate treasures and spiritual treasures of the human race, and I suddenly discovered that the primordial energy of the Great Dao that was floating in the Star Sea Domain could actually be extracted." As he spoke, Da Xu patted the massive acquired spiritual treasure that was tens of thousands of feet tall.

"Impressive. It can absorb the primordial energy of the Great Dao from other regions over extremely long distances through the void. Not bad." Xu Chen smiled as he looked at some of the spatial Great Dao divine runes within this large acquired spiritual treasure.

"It's a pity you can't advance to the Great Luo realm now, otherwise I would refine a large-scale innate spiritual treasure, the Great Dao Origin Qi Gathering Array, which could be used by all the worlds of the Great Stream Sect for cultivation." Da Xu imagined the magnificent scene at that time, his eyes filled with longing.

"We'll talk about that then. It will take more than 40 years to cultivate to the Great Luo realm," Xu Chen said.

"Over 40 years, that should be considered fast by all accounts." Da Xu stroked his chin, pondering how to make Xu Chen's cultivation speed even faster.

So, just wait patiently.

"I'm going out for a walk to clear my head," Xu Chen said, before sending a message to Su Yueyao.

At this moment, Su Yueyao was traveling around the human race with Xu Chen's mother, Wei Miaoqiu, when Xu Chen sent a message asking where they were.

Within the human realm, a special sealed world, anyone who enters will be transformed into a mortal.

This world boasts beautiful scenery and delicious food, making it an ideal tourist destination.

At this moment, Xu Chen entered this world aboard a special mechanical flying boat.

The mechanical airship landed in a special island area, where Xu Chen found Wei Miaoqiu and Su Yueyao, who were playing there.

"Mother!" Xu Chen called out affectionately upon seeing Wei Miaoqiu.

“If you count the time, it’s been almost 2 years since we last met.” Wei Miaoqiu smiled and took Xu Chen’s hand.

"While you were away, Yueyao was always there for me. You must treat Yueyao well in the future."

“Mother, my husband has always been very good to me,” Su Yueyao said to Xu Chen.

"Then it should be even better in the future."

The three of them traveled around this world for a month before Wei Miaoqiu left, saying she didn't want to disturb Xu Chen and Sun Yueyao.

“Mother has been on the front lines with Father all these years. When she occasionally returns to the human territory, it is always Yuexi and I who accompany her.”

"Now that Yuexi is leading the team to fight in the Star Sea Domain, only I am here to accompany them," Su Yueyao said, lying in Xu Chen's arms.

"Well done." Xu Chen gently stroked Su Yueyao's hair.

In this world, they all transformed into mortals, clinging to each other in their mortal bodies, which gradually gave Xu Chen a strange feeling.

At this moment, Su Yueyao was also somewhat moved.

A day later, in this world, the two embarked on another journey.

Despite being a mere mortal, Xu Chen had a unique experience while strolling through this beautiful place.

The two spent a year exploring this world before leaving.

"Husband, what are we going to do now?" Su Yueyao asked excitedly, leaning against Xu Chen.

"Let's first go and sample the new delicacies that have emerged in the human race's various restaurants over the past 2 years."

"Then I'll take on a mission to lead a million-strong army into battle in the Star Sea," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"When you go to the areas outside the human territory, can you take me with you?" Su Yueyao looked at Xu Chen expectantly.

“In that case, I will take the disciples of the Great Stream Sect out for some training, and you will come along too.”

“If we’re taking on a mission to lead the vanguard of the human race, it would be somewhat inappropriate for you to be by my side,” Xu Chen said, turning the seven-colored bracelet in his hand.

"Thank you, my husband!" (End of Chapter)
