The liver is a late bloomer!

Inside the Dao Pavilion Secret Realm, Xu Chen looked at the fifty-six Great Dao Divine Powers, his eyes gleaming with boundless brilliance.

He then quickly browsed through these great divine abilities one by one, and finally found 38 that he could learn.

"Not bad, another step forward." Xu Chen couldn't hide his smile.

He memorized these 38 Great Dao Divine Powers and returned to the territory of the Great Stream Sect to begin his seclusion.

It took Xu Chen 600 years to master all 36 Great Dao Divine Powers.

"As expected of the Great Dao Divine Power created by Brother Qing, it has actually greatly improved my own combat power." Xu Chen felt the Great Dao Divine Power he had learned, and even when using the Great Immortal Word Technique, his own combat power increased by 10%.

"I have now learned about 160 Great Dao Divine Abilities, but there is still a considerable gap to reach 1000 Great Dao Divine Abilities."

"However, the situation is not tense now, so there is plenty of time to learn slowly."

"However, where to learn it is a question."

Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Qianming, could you tell me the locations of some holy races, or alliances like the Myriad Paths Alliance?" Xu Chen asked.

"Kid, you've remembered me now?"

"Want to know? Okay, I'll tell you ten locations for one thing. There are many forces like this that I encountered when I traveled around the Star Sea."

"Not only that, I also know a lot about the legacy of the Invincible Saint Venerable. If you want to know, just do something for me." Qianming's chuckled voice echoed in Xu Chen's mind.

"Senior, we've been together for so long, we're practically old friends, it's just a position."

"Maybe after I become a powerful figure on the Great Dao, I can give you some pointers and you might even be able to advance to the Great Dao," Xu Chen said slowly, trying to persuade you.

"Kid, you're weak, but you're making grand promises."

"You even guided me to become a powerful figure on the Great Dao. I believe you have the ability, but I don't trust you unless you swear an oath based on your own Dao," Qianming said.

"Senior, this is no fun."

"Why don't you also make a vow, senior, that you will tell me everything you know about innate treasures or all the information you have?"

"And I swear that if I have the ability in the future, I will help you to reach the Great Dao."

"How about it? This condition isn't too unreasonable, is it?" Xu Chen thought to himself.

"It's not excessive, but..."
"To reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao, is it really that easy? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few powerful individuals like this in the Star Sea Domain."

"Rather than trusting you, I'd rather let myself slowly make my plans and eventually become a powerful figure on the path to greatness."

"Throughout my countless years, I have always believed in one truth: you must always rely on yourself," Qianming Youyou said.

"Then tell me what you need, senior. I'll take a look. If it's simple, I'll do it," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment. This old guy can't be fooled anymore just by bluffing.

"Get me a thousand crystals of Great Dao Divine Source and put them into a treasure vault I specify."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen did some quick mental calculations.

"Senior, a thousand crystals of Great Dao Divine Source are enough for a Saint Venerable to instantly restore all his original essence. Where do you expect me to find that?"

"Aren't you good at swindling and cheating? You can try those holy clans." Qianming's mocking voice rang out.

“Senior, if I deceive too many people, the Invincible Saint Venerable might actually get involved. It’s not worth it. Senior, please find another opportunity.”

"Let's change the subject. Let's go to this place and send a message to the Invincible Saint Venerable who is guarding it."

An unfamiliar star map appeared in Xu Chen's mind.

“This is an old friend of mine. We haven’t seen each other for many years, and I have a lot to say to him.”

“You don’t need to meet him. Just find a way to get these messages to him,” Qianming said.

"This star map doesn't have any reference points, where am I supposed to find them?" Xu Chen couldn't help but say.

"It's not too far. You should be able to find the corresponding star by navigating the spatial turbulence area near the Myriad Paths Alliance."

“We’ll get there after a few more trips,” Qianming said.

“That’s not difficult, but I have a question. Are you and this person really old friends? What if he’s an enemy trying to trick me?” Xu Chen said cautiously.

“We are one now, I wouldn’t do something so foolish. That person is indeed an old friend of mine, he owes me a lot of favors, and I want him to help me prepare a few backup plans,” Qianming said.

"No problem, let's go take a look."

Xu Chen took the teleportation array directly to the spatial turbulence area, entered a fixed spatial rift and arrived at the Myriad Dao Alliance. Then, he flew towards the spatial turbulence area he had used before with ease.

Inside a primordial spiritual treasure palace, Xu Chen used his clone to explore one spatial rift after another.

"Boy, I noticed that you haven't cultivated much since you advanced to the Great Luo realm. You've been searching for the Great Dao Divine Power. Could it be that you have some ulterior motive?" Qianming asked.

"If you want to know, senior, it's fine to tell you. However, this matter involves the existence of that person. Would you like to hear it, senior?" Xu Chen, who was sipping tea in the spirit hall, smiled slightly.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then you don't want to talk about it. Why bring that person up?" Qianming's voice weakened.

"Senior, is there a way to quickly cultivate to the Great Venerable Realm within the Great Luo Realm?" Xu Chen asked.

“There are many ways. If I recover, I can easily get you into the Great Venerable Realm,” Qianming said leisurely.

"Is there anything suitable for me right now? Like the Primordial Divine Fruit, for example?" Xu Chen said.

"When I was traveling through the starry sea, I once encountered a tree spirit on the Great Dao. That tree spirit had fallen into a deep sleep due to the long and boring years."

"But that being's true form has been absorbing stellar energy to grow. When I saw it, it was about ten thousand times the size of your Myriad Races Main Realm."

"I don't know how much it has risen to now."

"The tree's true form is called the Divine Tree of the Divine Path. It bears all sorts of fruits, some of which can increase cultivation, some of which can enhance understanding, and some of which are the purest divine source fruits."

"Among them, the most magical are the Dao Fruit, the Golden Immortal Fruit, the Great Luo Fruit, the Great Venerable Fruit, and even the Saint Venerable Fruit. Once you eat them, even a mortal can instantly advance to the corresponding realm. However, after eating these fruits, your realm will not improve in any way."

As Xu Chen listened, a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Senior, it must be very difficult to go in and pick the fruit," Xu Chen said.

"Of course, I once tried to go in and take a look, but one vine whipped me and took away nearly half of my life force, which scared me so much that I left immediately." As Qianming spoke, a smile began to appear in his voice.

"Please state your conditions, senior." Xu Chen knew that they were about to move on to a more important part.

"Three things, I'll tell you the location."

“There are three more things I need to tell you how to get in,” Qianming Youyou said.

"Six things in total, senior has gone a bit too far." Xu Chen began to prepare to bargain.

“Is that too much? I only know that at your current pace, it would take you hundreds of millions or even billions of years to advance to become a Great Venerable. I’m saying you could easily complete it in a million years, or even less,” Qianming said. “Once inside, this is the true form of the Great Dao. If there’s even the slightest mistake, I might not even be left with any trace.”

“I can give it a try, but I can’t make it my only hope.”

"How about four things, less?" Xu Chen said.

"You should take care of this matter first. After you find the location, pass on my information to my old friend, and then we can talk about the Sacred Tree."

"Then so be it."

Xu Chen looked toward the spatial turbulence region in the distance. One of his clones had already found a familiar star, but only that one. To travel through the spatial rift, he would need to find another spatial turbulence region before he could go any further.

A spatial innate spiritual treasure appeared above the spatial rift, directly fixing it in place.

Xu Chen then dispatched his clones to continue the search.

However, in the following decade or so, no spatial rift satisfied Xu Chen was found.

"That's all."

As Xu Chen spoke, he stepped into the spatial rift.

Upon arriving in the unfamiliar Star Sea, Xu Chen immediately sensed the stellar energy within it.

"It's somewhat weak, but it should be enough to give birth to a Great Venerable-level world, and that should be sufficient to gather some information."

Xu Chen released the Jade Sky Boat and began to fly towards that familiar star, searching the surrounding star sea area with his vast divine sense along the way.

Not long after, Xu Chen found a spatial passage in the void.

"Spatial passages—Logically speaking, a Great Venerable World shouldn't be able to develop something like this."

Curious, Xu Chen followed the spatial passage toward the source.

The Jade Sky Boat flew through the spatial passage for three hundred years before finally reaching the source.

Over the course of 300 years, Xu Chen became increasingly shocked and curious about this spatial passage.

"Since they can build such a long spatial passage, their strength far surpasses that of ordinary major clans. I wonder if they are another holy clan's power."

As they got closer to the source, the spatial passage began to expand slowly. After passing several intersections, they began to discover other airships.

Xu Chen sat in the Jade Sky Boat, reading through the memories of a member of the Divine Profound Clan.

"Another Holy Race, and even stronger than the Divine Race." Xu Chen said, suddenly realizing that races with the word "God" in their names seemed to be quite strong.

“Kid, you should stay away from the Holy Clan. If someone like you gets too close to their territory, they’ll definitely notice something’s wrong with you eventually,” Qianming said.

"Oh, this seems to be the first time you've given me this advice."

"interesting."

Xu Chen decided that he absolutely had to go and see this Divine Profound Clan.

As Xu Chen read through more and more memories, he discovered that some memories were blocked by an inexplicable force, but the memories he saw were still incredibly shocking.

"I have to say, a loose alliance feels completely different compared to this kind of unified ethnic group."

"The Myriad Paths Alliance isn't that strong in my eyes, as long as we don't provoke those Holy Lords."

“But the Divine Profound Clan is different. Provoking the small ones easily attracts the big ones, provoking the big ones easily attracts the old ones, and provoking the old ones easily attracts those invincible Saint Venerable powerhouses,” Xu Chen said leisurely.

"So what do you plan to do?" Qianming asked.

"Let's get in touch first and see how it goes, then we can make a deal."

“A saintly race with nine invincible saintly beings must have had formidable enemies in the past.”

“I can’t buy their own clan’s divine abilities, but I should be able to buy some of their former enemies’ divine abilities.”

"Besides, although they are a holy race, they also have weaknesses. If we are sincere, we might get unexpected gains."

With a smile on his face, Xu Chen directly controlled the Jade Sky Boat to fly out of the spatial passage and set up camp at a location that was neither too far nor too close to the Divine Profound Clan.

Xu Chen then opened a teleportation portal and went to the Dao Gate Domain. He then returned to the Human Race Main Realm territory through the Dao Gate Jade, and then took a teleportation array to the Great Stream Sect Star Sea territory.

Xu Chen entered the Great Xu Cave and discovered that the two Xus were working together to refine a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

He waited on the side until the two finished refining the innate spiritual treasure.

"It's rare to see you so patient. What's the matter?" Da Xu asked curiously.

"We've discovered a super holy race with nine invincible holy venerable experts, so we'd like to invite the two of you to go and make some money, and bring you along as well," Xu Chen said, looking at the enormous innate spiritual treasure factory.

“Since I’ve been relatively free lately, I’ll go and see if I can get some Great Dao Divine Source,” Da Xu said.

"What do you need the Great Dao Divine Source for?"

“To refine a Primordial Treasure, if you have a Primordial Treasure embryo and really want to refine it, ordinary methods will definitely not work. At that time, only by consuming the Great Dao Divine Source can you meet the conditions for refining a Primordial Treasure,” Da Xu said.

"It's a bit extravagant, but it's alright with a primordial treasure."

Da Xu and Er Xu followed Xu Chen and left directly.

Outside the territory of the Divine Profound Clan, Xu Chen, Xu Er, and Xu Da devised a plan.

"Fortunately, I brought a causal innate spiritual treasure with me when I came. I used it to set up a great formation, so even an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert couldn't find this place through causal tracking."

Inside a primordial spiritual treasure cave world, the two Xus were skillfully refining a batch of inheritance and trading spirit halls.

Obtaining this spirit palace allows one to exchange for a divine inheritance from a side path, encompassing weapon crafting, formations, alchemy, and more. These inheritances are only a portion of what Xu Chen summarized from the Chaos Gate in the Holy White Space.

In addition, the higher-ups are also responsible for processing various innate spiritual treasures and supreme innate treasures. As long as the embryo of an innate spiritual treasure is sent over, it can be refined into an innate spiritual treasure and sent back within a year.

Besides crafting weapons, you can also refine divine-grade pills here. As long as you provide the pill recipe or the requirements and corresponding materials, you can refine pills, but only divine-grade pills are allowed.

The two Xus made numerous modifications to the Inheritance Hall, finally achieving the effect that satisfied Xu Chen.

"First, build up a good reputation, then slowly earn the Great Dao Divine Source, and finally find a way to acquire more Great Dao Divine Powers," Xu Chen said.

"Leave this matter to us with confidence. Even if this place is discovered by an invincible Saint Venerable, we can move it as long as there is any change in the cause and effect."

"Go ahead and do what you need to do. You don't need to keep an eye on things here," Da Xu said, waving his hand.

"Then I'll go first."

Xu Chen has already located several areas of spatial turbulence through the memories of those members of the Divine Profound Clan. (End of Chapter)
