The liver is a late bloomer!

This time, Xu Chen only cultivated for 6000 years before having to quit cultivation due to the large amount of stagnant energy in his body.

Feeling the size of the eight dantian worlds within his body, Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"42, for a typical Golden Immortal, this number and speed is already very fast."

"But I want it to be faster."

Xu Chen sensed the colorful little grass in his soul world and decided that he would consume it after finding a faster cultivation method.

Xu Chen arrived at the Great Xu Cave within the Great Stream Sect.

Upon entering, one immediately senses a rich power of the Great Dao's origin.

The distant Houtian Lingbao Factory quickly absorbed this primordial power.

"You finally remembered me," Da Xu's resentful voice rang out.

"It's not that I'm afraid of interfering with your cultivation," Xu Chen said with a smile.

Xu Chen arrived at the Houtian Spiritual Treasure Factory and looked at a large immortal artifact component that was being refined.

"What kind of large-scale acquired spiritual treasure are you practicing now?" Xu Chen looked at the divine runes of the Great Dao engraved on the accessory, but couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"I want to forge a giant cannon using the Great Dao technique to prepare for future innate spiritual treasure warships."

Da Xu waved his hand and released a beam of light, above which was a colossal cannon powered by the laws of the Great Dao.

The cannon barrel, stretching for thousands of miles, had a menacing muzzle that seemed capable of shattering the entire world with a single shot.

"It seems you know about my situation over there." Xu Chen smiled slightly.

"It was Xi Yue who told me. For a top-notch weapon refiner like me, this is simply a disgrace."

“I’m forging giant cannons now to gain experience. Once you advance to the Great Luo Realm, I’ll forge 100 innate spiritual treasure warships for you so you can go to the Heavenly Guard Clan and get revenge.” As Da Xu spoke, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Well done, that's how it should be!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to advance to the Great Luo Realm in at least 40 years, but I don't want it to be that slow. So, during this time of dispelling my pent-up emotions, I need to find more ways to accelerate my cultivation to the Golden Immortal Realm," Xu Chen said.

Now, although the schemes laid out by the two holy lands have been muddied in the entire main realm and surrounding star sea, giving the main realm's myriad races a sliver of opportunity in this murky water, the situation remains as chaotic as it is today.

However, they were caught in a murky situation and could not afford to offend either of the two major powers, but they could not openly refuse the overtures of the two major powers.

Therefore, although the myriad races of the main realm have gained a sliver of hope, this sliver of hope comes at a price.

The human race's position among the myriad races in the current main realm is ambiguous. On the surface, they obey the orders of the two holy lands, but in secret, they also maintain good relations with several major demon races in the shadows.

In this state, Xu Chen now feels somewhat dangerous.

If the bridgehead grass isn't handled well, it's easy for it to be targeted by both sides.

That's why Xu Chen felt that 40 years was too long to advance to the Great Luo Realm.

“I know the current situation of the human race, but you don’t need to be so anxious. The human race has survived many annihilation crises to get to where it is today.”

"Now you can play both sides between the two major forces without any problem," Da Xu reassured him while refining the components of the acquired spiritual treasure.

"But it's never a bad thing to cultivate faster."

After chatting with Da Xu for a while, Xu Chen got up and went to the Emperor Temple in Jiuhuang City.

The Secret Realm of the Great Master of Green Bamboo.

"A method that can help someone at the Golden Immortal realm like you accelerate your cultivation." The recent information about the Great Stream Sect surfaced in the mind of Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

The Great Five Elements Sacred Domain cultivation secret realm of the Great Stream Sect is now coveted not only by other sects and forces, but even by the Azure Bamboo Grandmaster.

Especially after the Great Dao Origin Gathering Spirit Array was acquired, Grand Venerable Qingzhu almost couldn't resist snatching it himself.

Among the human race, if we talk about cultivation secret realms, the Great Five Elements Sacred Domain cultivation realm in the Great Stream Sect is the best, and there is also an even stronger small cultivation realm exclusively for Xu Chen, which even made Grand Venerable Qingzhu unable to resist.

"You already have top-tier pills, secret realms, and the primordial energy of the Great Dao. If you want to find even better methods to aid your cultivation, you'll probably have to go to the legendary Chaos Secret Realm, or find a divine tree of the innate treasure level, and then divine pills of the saint grade or higher."

“Apart from that, no other method is as good as your existing cultivation secret realm,” said Grand Venerable Qingzhu.

"The Chaos Secret Realm, the innate supreme treasure divine tree that aids in cultivation, and divine pills of saint-grade quality or higher." Xu Chen said, stroking his chin. There were no specific records of these things among the human race.

The only thing that's even remotely related is the Chaos Divine Tea that Xu Chen once drank.

"Actually, you should just cultivate step by step. The human race is about to face an insurmountable calamity. Whether you are a Golden Immortal or a Great Luo Immortal doesn't really matter anymore," Grand Venerable Qingzhu advised.

"Every bit of effort counts."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he took his leave and went to Jiuhuang City to sample the new dishes that had emerged in the past few thousand years at various restaurants in the city.

"Given the current situation, there's nothing in the main world and the surrounding star sea that can really help me with my cultivation, and even if there were, I wouldn't be able to find it."

"If we can't find it here, we'll have to look elsewhere."

"The God Clan must have similar methods, but I would be courting death if I went there."

Xu Chen quickly searched his mind for a way to satisfy his need for rapid cultivation.

While pondering, they sampled the new dishes from various restaurants.

Xu Chen picked up a piece of white jade tofu and suddenly thought of the Holy White Space.

"Hmm, why don't we go and see the world behind those supernatural sects?"

The moment this thought arose in Xu Chen's mind, it spread like wildfire throughout his heart.

Xu Chen quickly finished the dishes on the table and returned to the Great Stream Sect Master World via the teleportation array.

Upon returning to the cave on Fu Island, Xu Chen's consciousness entered the Holy White Space.

Xu Chen looked at the space that was to be reached after he had already passed the Divine Power Gate. Which one should he go to first?
Looking at the various teleportation portals, Xu Chen's gaze settled on the portal to the Six Forms of the Sacred Ape, a method for building a foundation of Qi and Blood.

"There are humans in that world, but I don't know how strong they are."

"And I don't even know if I'll be able to come back."

Thinking of this, Xu Chen formed a hand seal and condensed a temporary clone, with a wisp of his consciousness attached to it.

The temporary clone he controlled pushed open the gate of the Six Forms of the Sacred Ape. From the gate, Xu Chen could feel an unfamiliar aura, but because it was blocked by a chaotic light, he could not see the scene inside.

Xu Chen controlled his temporary clone to enter it, and then he saw a dilapidated world, a world full of demonic energy.

Standing on the desolate, blood-stained land, Xu Chen frowned deeply.

Just then, a group of unconscious ghouls seemed to have caught Xu Chen's scent and crawled up from the blood-stained wasteland.

Xu Chen didn't bother to observe; he simply and forcefully controlled all the corpse demons, absorbing the few memories they had left in their minds.

"Is it that bad?"

After reading the memories of these corpse demons, I learned that this world was invaded by the Demon Abyss 100,000 years ago, and only the most powerful Taoist sects left with a small group of disciples via interdimensional teleportation array.

Xu Chen carefully controlled his cultivation level, otherwise he might easily burst this small world.

Following the corpse demon's memories, Xu Chen arrived at the Daoist sect. Looking at the familiar scenery, Xu Chen felt as if he had returned to the little beggar who possessed him when he was mastering the Six Forms of the Sacred Ape.

"I don't know if that little beggar escaped unscathed, but if the time is synchronized..."

"That little beggar either went to the upper realm or was trapped in a realm until he passed away."

Xu Chen looked at the dilapidated mountain peak of the Taoist sect and said with some nostalgia.

The little beggar who possessed him back then must have swept those steps countless times.

Xu Chen climbed the steps one by one, and with each step, a region of demons within a radius of ten thousand miles of the Dao Sect was cleared and purified.

Once Xu Chen officially entered the Daoist area, he first went to the room where the little beggar had once lived.

However, in the past 10 years, everything has changed, and the familiar scenes are no longer there.

"No matter what, we've already taken on a part of that little beggar's karma. If he's not dead, let's repay that karma."

At this point, Xu Chen already knew how to use the supernatural gates in the Holy White Space that led to other worlds.

He could go to and return from these supernatural sects, but once he went to one, he would become tainted by the karma from that time, possessing another's body and comprehending their knowledge. This karma was significant even for Xu Chen, who was now at the Golden Immortal realm.

Only after the karmic debts were settled could the gate to the Holy White Space be stabilized, allowing Xu Chen to pass through.

Following the memories of the corpses and ghosts around the Taoist sect, Xu Chen arrived at the interdimensional teleportation array.

Looking at the simple and incomplete Daoist inscriptions on the teleportation array, Xu Chen forcibly extracted a pure spiritual energy from this world filled with demonic energy.

Pure spiritual energy was injected into the teleportation array.

Xu Chen obtained a spatial location from the teleportation array.

With one step, Xu Chen left this small world and arrived at a place similar to the Star Sea Domain.

"Something's not right." Xu Chen frowned as he saw the twinkling stars in the distance.

"Let's take a look at the spatial location first."

With a thought, Xu Chen created a portal back to the Holy White Space.

As his consciousness returned to his physical body, Xu Chen waved his hand and released the door again.

A clone, condensing eighty percent of Xu Chen's combat power, entered the gate carrying several innate spiritual treasures.

In the unfamiliar starry sea, Xu Chen released the Thousand Void Ship and flew rapidly towards the world with the spatial coordinates.

In the void, Xu Chen stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the endless demonic spirits with a somewhat probing gaze.

"This entire area seems to have been infected by that consciousness called Demon Abyss, which is why there are so many demonic spirits in this void."

The Thousand Sky Ship flew swiftly, taking three months to reach the world at the spatial coordinates.

Upon entering, they found themselves in a desolate and dreary abyss.

"It seems that finding a Taoist sect won't be easy."

Xu Chen formed a hand seal, and a causal thread directly entered the River of Myriad Paths.

As soon as he sensed the vast river, Xu Chen's expression became complicated.

Xu Chen discovered that the Myriad Rivers of Myriad Paths in this area had been infected by the Demon Abyss. However, the Demon Abyss within the Myriad Rivers of Myriad Paths was acting cautiously, afraid of disturbing something it couldn't afford to offend.

Even the will of the Demon Abyss didn't dare to probe the trace of Xu Chen's cause and effect that entered it.

Meanwhile, in a distant, vast world, a young man with a resolute face suddenly frowned slightly and looked into the void.

"The Demon Abyss is back again!" The resolute-faced young man clenched his fists, exuding an aura of intense resentment.

"Found you, little beggar."

Xu Chen used his own karma to find the little beggar from the past in the long river of karma.

The Senku Ship accelerated to its maximum speed, flying rapidly towards the direction determined by that thread of cause and effect.

Along the way, Xu Chen saw an area in the void that had not yet been corrupted by the Demon Abyss.

"There's only this much space left: three Great Venerable Worlds, twelve Great Luo Worlds, and 136 Golden Immortal Worlds."

"With such limited strength, they managed to hold out for so long. It seems that the will of the Demon Abyss isn't very strong."

The Thousand Sky Ship flew into this area that had not yet been polluted by the Demon Abyss, and then quickly located the location of that cause and effect.

Within the Great Venerable World ruled by the Daoist sect, Xu Chen transformed into a rogue cultivator at the Profound Immortal Realm and entered the Great Venerable World of the Daoist sect through a teleportation array.

As for why it's not a Golden Immortal, it's because Golden Immortals are all well-known and recognized beings in this human territory.

The Great Venerable World of Taoism, the Main Base of Taoism.

The Grand Venerable Realm expert guarding the Dao Gate sensed a different aura.

A new wisp of human destiny actually appeared within that precarious human destiny.

Within that sliver of new human destiny, he sensed an unparalleled power far beyond his imagination.

The aged-looking Daoist Grandmaster carefully observed this newly emerging trace of human Dao energy.

"Could it be that the hope for a counterattack by our human race is about to arrive?" A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Grand Venerable Realm expert, but then quickly faded into melancholy.

"It's impossible. This starry sea territory has been surrounded by the Demon Abyss. There is no hope at all. The final fate of the human race is to perish in the corruption of this Demon Abyss."

"But where does this new glimmer of human destiny come from?"

While Xu Chen was enjoying the local delicacies in this Great World, he suddenly sensed that a trace of the Great Dao of Humanity within him had merged into the Great Dao of Humanity of this world.

Through this wisp of the Great Dao of Humanity's power, Xu Chen sensed that the Great Dao of Humanity in this world was like an old man on his deathbed, with only a breath of resentment left.

"If it were any other race, I wouldn't care whether they live or die."

"But these are the human race after all, we can't just stand by and watch them die."

"Besides, it would be good for the clan to have a few more Grand Venerable experts."

Xu Chen, upon entering this Great Venerable World, learned that the human race in this starry sea territory had defeated the surrounding hundred races, and at its peak, the human race had more than twenty Great Venerable Realm experts.

Humanity dominates this star sea region and has generated a unique human destiny. Following the usual path, a Great Venerable Realm expert will soon advance to Saint Venerable.

But at this critical moment, the will of the Demon Abyss descended upon this sea of ​​stars, and endless demonic spirits eroded the human race in all worlds. The Demon Abyss also devoured the human race's Great Dao fortune at a higher level.

"Forget about enjoying the food for now, let's deal with the cause and effect first."

Xu Chen released a trace of his own causal power.

Almost instantly, the former little beggar, far away within the Taoist sect, sensed it.

Xu Chen savored each dish in the restaurant, and as he ate, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

The person observing Xu Chen from above was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand and placed on a chair opposite Xu Chen's table. (End of Chapter)
