The liver is a late bloomer!

"Teacher, I am of poor talent and I apologize for making you laugh." The woman saw Xu Chen's expression and knew that she had performed poorly.

"Not bad, she can barely become a Saint-grade array master." Xu Chen nodded slightly and pointed at the woman with one hand forming a hand seal.

In an instant, the world before the woman's eyes changed, and she finally returned to a special palace.

"This is the Dream World. In this world, you should devote yourself to studying the art of formations."

"When you advance to the Saint rank, this world will naturally break open."

A voice, as clear as the will of Heaven, rang in the woman's ears.

Xu Chencai didn't have the time to personally teach him the basics of array formation.

"This Myriad Dao Alliance is interesting. Did those seven invincible Saint Venerables create the Myriad Dao Alliance with the same initial intention as you, senior?" Xu Chen wondered to himself.

"Perhaps, what surprised me most was that these seven invincible Saint Venerable experts were able to gather together unharmed." Qianming's voice echoed in Xu Chen's mind.

"Unless one cultivates the ruthless path, even the most advanced cultivator will feel lonely."

"Only interaction with strong individuals of the same level can alleviate this feeling of loneliness," Xu Chen said with a smile.

“That’s just an ordinary Invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert. I’m different. I’ve always preferred to communicate with stronger experts who are on the Great Dao.”

"After I became an invincible Saint Venerable, I became friends with three powerful figures on the Great Dao."

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t be alive now after I angered a powerful figure on the Great Dao.” Qianming’s smug voice echoed in Xu Chen’s mind.

"If you don't do anything reckless in the future, I feel you have a chance to become a powerful figure on the path to enlightenment."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have discovered a magic weapon that surpasses even the innate supreme treasure." Xu Chen had always coveted Qian Ming's spiritual treasure that surpassed even the innate supreme treasure.

"You little rascal, you've been holding onto that one sentence I said."

"You think I actually have this?" Qianming's teasing voice came from behind.

"Senior, I feel that you do. Don't forget that our karma is intertwined. There are some things I can sense."

“Senior, you can’t fool me. For example…” Xu Chen’s voice became unfathomable.

"You really can detect it? Why can't I sense your cause and effect sometimes!" Qianming's voice was somewhat displeased.

“Senior, there are many taboos in the depths of my karma, it’s actually quite good that you can’t come into contact with them.”

"Otherwise, senior, it's uncertain whether you can preserve the true spirit hidden within your own karma."

"You kid..."

Five years passed in the blink of an eye, while the woman in the Dream World had experienced thousands of years.

Over the course of a thousand years, she completed the foundation for her path to enlightenment, successfully set up 10 sacred-grade formations, and advanced to the rank of sacred-grade formation master.

After the woman emerged from the dream world, she knelt and kowtowed three times and nine times before Xu Chen in the dojo to formally become his disciple.

"I will never forget the kindness of my teachers in educating me."

"I know I am dull-witted and cannot be your disciple, I may not even be qualified to be a nominal disciple."

"By performing this apprenticeship ceremony, I only wish to express my deepest respect," the kneeling woman said sincerely.

"This is the cause and effect between us. I see that you bear a great responsibility in your heart. I hope that you will be able to achieve your heart's desire in the future."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the dojo.

Because he accepted a second teaching mission, which was still a mission for a Celestial-grade Array Master to advance to the Saint-grade.

In an unfamiliar Taoist temple, an old man with unusual white hair knelt before Xu Chen.

"Let's take a look at your basics first." Xu Chen frowned and gently pointed at the void.

Hundreds of interconnected formations trapped the white-haired old man.

However, these formations then unraveled one by one at an extremely fast pace, until they reached the 89th layer before stopping.

Xu Chen deactivated the formation with a strange expression.

"With your foundation in array formations, you can become a Saint-grade array master at any time."

"Teacher, I have been obsessed with the art of formations all my life."

"But the art of array formations is as vast as the ocean. Even becoming a Saint-level array master is only the tip of the iceberg."

"I've heard that issuing missions can attract alien array masters of Saint or even Divine rank. I'd like to see the arrays outside the Myriad Paths Alliance," the old man said respectfully.

"Since you are so obsessed with the art of formations, then I will show you the different inheritances of ten immortal-grade formations."

Xu Chen formed a hand seal and gently tapped the old man.

Xu Chen then spent 50 years completing the remaining teaching tasks, thus reducing his sentence by 1 years.

Outside a vast and boundless realm, Xu Chen's figure emerged from the void.

"Where did they send me?" Xu Chen looked around in confusion, and finally determined his location by observing the surrounding stars and the main world in front of him.

"Now let's take a break and find out if there are any areas of spatial turbulence in the surrounding area."

Xu Chen transformed into nothingness and directly traversed the void to arrive at the main realm.

In the largest holy city of this main realm, Xu Chen was enjoying local specialties in a restaurant.

"This continent is even larger than the main world I live in. The Myriad Dao Alliance has seven such large main worlds. Impressive."

"Qianming, look at them. The forces they've casually assembled far surpass the myriad races in the star sea you control," Xu Chen teased Qianming in his mind as he ate.

"The goals are different, how can you compare them? If I wanted to develop my power, I would be much stronger than this Myriad Paths Alliance."

"If you're really in a hurry, I can find a way to kill these seven invincible saints one by one," Qianming said disdainfully.

“You’re just hiding within my karma in this state. If it were any other Holy Spirit, you would have attracted the attention of those seven invincible Holy Venerables if you dared to say such a thing,” Xu Chen said.

"Haha, why do you think I dare to say that?" Qianming laughed.

Xu Chen ate while chatting with Qian Ming.

"This Myriad Paths Alliance is more interesting than I imagined."

"According to the power structure within the Myriad Paths Alliance, these seven invincible saints each have their own territory."

"Moreover, I took a look, and it seems they intend to use the boundless life force to condense the strongest consciousness of all races, and then use that to break through to the Great Dao."

"This righteous and upright path has a grander air than the three Holy Venerables in my main realm," Xu Chen said.

"Even so, I have thought about using this method to break through before."

"However, this path consumes too many resources. Don't be fooled by the current strength of the Myriad Paths Alliance; it hasn't reached its limit yet."

"Once we reach the limit, there will be many problems."

"Just the resources needed for subsequent advancement to become a powerful figure, plus those Saint Venerable experts who aspire to challenge the Invincible Saint Venerable, will cause the entire Myriad Paths Alliance to collapse and disintegrate," Qianming said with great experience.

"It seems you've witnessed the rise and fall of this power, senior. Could you tell me about it?" Xu Chen suddenly became interested. "Sure, I'll tell you when I'm in the mood."

"When will you be in the mood, senior?"

"Sometimes I feel this way."

"..."

Xu Chen spent several years eating his way through all the delicacies of the seven main realms of the Myriad Paths Alliance.

"The food here is just like this~"

"It has some unique features, but not many."

"Besides that, the protection of the Great Dao Divine Power is too strict, making it impossible to sneak in."

Each of the seven main realms has a Myriad Dao Tower. Xu Chen stood outside these seven Myriad Dao Towers and tried countless methods, but none of them allowed him to sneak in.

Feeling bored, he then prepared to leave the Myriad Paths Alliance.

“Kid, now is the perfect time to leave. If you wait any longer, I reckon you’ll attract the attention of those invincible Saints,” Qianming said.

"So what if you're careful? What can you do to me?" Xu Chen said with an indifferent expression.

He might be afraid if a holy being appeared before him.

But he would be at ease if it were an invincible saint.

“Your words are quite interesting, little fellow. I can do whatever I want to you.” A middle-aged man from another race, dressed in a yellow robe, appeared before Xu Chen.

The middle-aged man had a single horn on his head, inlaid with tens of thousands of sparkling transparent gems, each gem emitting a mysterious fluctuation.

"Alright, you can't leave now~" Qianming said before diving into the depths of Xu Chen's karma.

"Greetings, senior." Xu Chen bowed.

"You little guy are quite calm. Aren't you afraid?" The middle-aged man from another race looked Xu Chen up and down, his eyes full of curiosity.

"The Myriad Paths Alliance has always acted according to strict rules. As a junior from another race, I entered with dignity and respect. Facing you, senior, I have only reverence for those who uphold the Great Dao," Xu Chen said.

"You little rascal, you sure know how to talk!"

“Little one, I dare not look at the heaven-defying karma you bear.”

"I have come here today to invite your clan to join my Myriad Paths Alliance. What do you say?"

"I will allocate another resource-rich star sea area according to the strength of your race."

“If you are unwilling to migrate your entire clan, you can send a branch over, but you must be led by a Saintly Venerable expert,” the middle-aged man from the alien race invited Xu Chen.

“Senior, I only came here through a spatial rift. Our clan is separated from this place by hundreds of billions of years. A large-scale migration would be inappropriate,” Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

Actually, Xu Chen was somewhat tempted when this invincible saint invited him. The resources in this star sea area are extremely rich, and it would definitely be worthwhile to separate a branch of his lineage and migrate here.

He thought it over and realized that the human race in the main realm couldn't possibly have a Saint Venerable Realm expert at this moment.

The lineage of the Great Dao Palace has already taken root in that star sea region.

There are no Saint Venerable experts in that lineage of the Daoist Domain.

The lineage of the Thousand Rivers Saint Venerable has probably already unified that star sea region, so it's impossible for them to allow the entire clan from there to migrate here.

"It's alright. My Myriad Paths Alliance has a space-related treasure, the Flying Boat, which is extremely fast."

"As for the spatial rift, you little fellow dared to come here, so you must have some established methods. This round trip shouldn't take too long." The middle-aged man from the alien race stroked his beard, looking at Xu Chen with a hint of goodwill.

"Senior, could you wait a while?"

“Our clan’s Saint Venerable Realm experts are all currently unable to leave their homes. Once the war in our clan’s Star Sea region has subsided and a new Saint Venerable has emerged, we’ll see if our clan is interested in splitting off another branch,” Xu Chen said.

According to Qianming, this path is righteous and peaceful, and it would be beneficial and harmless for the human race to divide itself into half of its population here.

As for the potential collapse that may follow, according to Chimei, it may take a very long time.

Xu Chen was confident that he could advance to the Saint Venerable Realm, or even the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, during this period of time.

Even if the Myriad Paths Alliance collapses by then, he is confident that he can preserve this lineage.

A dark gold token slowly floated towards Xu Chen.

“You already know the location of the Myriad Paths Alliance. If your noble family intends to send a branch to develop within the Myriad Paths Alliance, all you need to do is have your clan’s Saint Venerable expert present this token,” the middle-aged man from the alien race said.

"Senior, I have a question. Why must one be a Saint Venerable Realm expert?" Xu Chen asked.

“There are countless races in the Star Sea Domain, but in the eyes of my Myriad Paths Alliance, only races that have produced Saint Venerable level experts can be considered races. This also proves the potential of a race.”

"Therefore, the most basic requirement for joining my Myriad Paths Alliance is that your clan has a Saint Venerable expert."

"Alright, little guy, remember the Myriad Paths Alliance." After saying this, the middle-aged man from the alien race disappeared.

"That's really decisive!"

Xu Chen looked at the Xuanjin token in his hand and put it away.

"Senior Qianming, can races that join halfway through strengthen the Myriad Dao Alliance's Myriad Dao Will?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Probably. I don't know much about this, but I'm sure the Myriad Paths Alliance has its own unique methods," Qianming said.

"If that's really the case, and the Myriad Paths Alliance recruits one of the major clans it sees, then the expansion speed will be faster than natural development."

"That's quite interesting," Xu Chen said, stroking his chin thoughtfully, pondering what methods could be used to merge the wills of multiple races.

With Xu Chen's understanding of the fundamental principles of the human race, he only needed to do a little deduction to find that this method was much more complicated than deducing a divine power of the Great Dao.

"It seems that even ordinary Saint Venerable experts can't deduce this kind of thing."

The Thousand Machine Ship flew rapidly towards the outside of the Myriad Dao Alliance's territory through the Myriad Dao Alliance's spatial channel.

Once outside the territory of the Myriad Paths Alliance and confirming that the Alliance's will could not control this area, Xu Chen began to use the Star Teleportation Technique.

When Xu Chen arrived at this area of ​​turbulent space, he saw a supreme innate treasure, a great cauldron, at the very core of the space, which had fixed all the spatial cracks within the turbulent area.

Moreover, outside the spatial turbulence zone, there is a continent that is no less powerful than one of the seven major realms of the Myriad Paths Alliance, floating here.

"...I was so focused on finding a location that I didn't think about this."

Xu Chen gazed at the boundless main world continent in the distance, then silently looked in other directions before using Star Teleportation to leave and head to the second spatial turbulence region.

The map recorded by the Myriad Paths Alliance is extremely vast. Starting from another direction of the Myriad Paths Sect, it would take at least hundreds of millions of years for Xu Chen's innate spiritual treasure flying boat to reach the border.

Within this range, there are numerous areas of spatial turbulence.

However, Xu Chen didn't find an unoccupied area until he reached the fifth spatial turbulence region.

"The power of the Myriad Paths Alliance has grown tremendously." Even Xu Chen couldn't help but remark.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Chen released a spatial magical artifact, fixing over a hundred spatial rifts before sending his clones into the rifts to explore. (End of Chapter)
