The liver is a late bloomer!

How did you meet this friend, senior?

Xu Chen, who was in a hurry, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"I met him while traveling. That strong man and I got along very well. We talked for a long time."

"Moreover, he has traveled with me for nearly a hundred billion years, so we can be considered old friends who can trust each other," Qianming said.

"Old friend, are you your Daoist partner, senior?" Xu Chen sensed something else in the conversation.

"Yes and no. After cultivating to this level, one's own emotions have become very detached, and one is mostly focused on the path to enlightenment."

"We were together for a while, but later we separated to pursue our own paths."

"To be honest, I miss him quite a bit now." Qianming's nostalgic voice echoed in Xu Chen's mind.

"Alright, I'll try to hurry on my way and make sure you see my message as soon as possible."

Xu Chen used the Star Teleportation Technique again to arrive at the most remote area of ​​spatial turbulence.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he summoned a primordial spiritual treasure, the Space Pearl, to suppress the cracks in the spatial turbulence area.

One clone after another detached from Xu Chen's main body and entered these cracks.

"After I advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, I will also wander through this endless star sea and witness the magnificent sights that you, my senior, once saw," Xu Chen said, gazing into the depths of the star sea.

"Then you must be careful when you travel. After you advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, I believe many powerful figures on the Great Dao will be interested in you."

“Although you can see those terrifying scenes by following your cause and effect, the Star Sea Domain is full of wonders. You might even encounter a powerful figure on the Great Dao.” Qianming said.

"We still have to go and take a look. It would be so boring if we didn't see this starry sea."

Xu Chen stroked his chin, looking at the spatial tunnel fixed in the spatial turbulence zone in the distance. He made up his mind that once he was strong enough, he would go and see the areas behind those prodigy sects one by one.

"Then you'd better be careful. I was once noticed by a powerful figure on the Great Dao who had nothing better to do."

"It directly invoked a trace of the great power of the Great Dao, trapping me for hundreds of billions of years. However, it wasn't without its gains; I comprehended many things. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"Another time, I encountered a powerful figure on the Great Dao. He looked at me like an annoying flying insect and casually struck me, scattering me. If I hadn't had a backup plan to revive in another area, I would have been finished."

“I’ve encountered countless life-or-death situations like this in the endless river of time, so I’m advising you now that I don’t want to go through it with you again.”

"..."

"Don't worry, senior. By then I will be able to extricate myself from your karma. Even if you want to go, I won't take you with me." A smile appeared on Xu Chen's face.

Just then, a clone reported to him that it had found a direction closer to that starry sea.

Xu Chen formed a hand seal and gently tapped the void.

A spatial force erupted from the innate spiritual treasure space, directly suppressing the spatial rift.

"We've found the location," Qianming asked.

"Find a location that's relatively close, wait and see, and if it's not there, then choose that one."

"Ever since my senior became attached to me, I've traveled to many places for him."

"Senior has also given me a lot of help. Once I advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, I will not pursue this grudge anymore," Xu Chen said in a suddenly serious tone.

In fact, the moment the thousand lives entangled him, he had already decided to pursue and kill this cause and effect even if it meant chasing it into the Star Sea Domain.

It's a pity that all these years of getting along have been wasted. Although Qianming sometimes had ill intentions, she could also be of great help to him with just a few words.

"Boy, so you never gave up on killing me before!" Qianming's voice suddenly rose an octave in Xu Chen's mind.

“Senior, that’s already very kind of you. You’ve been with me for so long and you know my attitude towards other races. I’m sparing your life because I’ve already let go of my prejudices,” Xu Chen said slowly.

"It seems you're still not ruthless enough. If we were to switch places, no matter how much you offer, the final result would be the same." Qianming's tone suddenly turned somber.

"I still believe in karma. The senior's efforts and daily advice have already absolved me of this karma." Xu Chen stretched out his hand again and pointed at the void, and another closer spatial rift was fixed by the innate spiritual treasure spatial bead.

"Then I'm lucky. But you're so confident that you'll be able to wipe me out by then," Qianming's confident voice rang out.

"Then tell me, senior, if you appeared before me at your strongest Great Luo Realm, how many breaths could you withstand me?" Xu Chen suddenly asked.

"Given the strength you displayed in the Great Luo Realm, I would definitely have avoided you back then. However, if it were a life-or-death battle, I would be willing to perish together with you," Qianming said confidently.

"It seems the senior is quite confident in himself." Xu Chen felt he was bragging.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this far."

“If we meet in the Great Luo Realm, you are formidable and strong in combat, but if I want to escape, you will never catch me.”

"That's not necessarily true."

“Then let’s gamble on a supreme innate treasure. Once my power has recovered a bit, I’ll create a causal world, and we’ll see if it works,” Qianming said.

"Then it's settled, a supreme innate treasure." Xu Chen's lips curled up.

Just then, one of the clones arrived directly in the star sea region that Destiny had mentioned.

Xu Chen fixed the spatial tunnel in place and stepped into it.

Xu Chen waved his hand and released the star map, comparing it with the others.

"This is about it. What letter do you need to write, senior? Where is that invincible Saint Venerable expert? I'll deliver it to you," Xu Chen said.

"There's no need to send him off; this area just happens to be inside his cave."

"If he is nearby or cultivating, he has already sensed your presence."

As soon as Qianming finished speaking, the entire star sea began to change.

As the power of the stars coalesced, a woman so perfect that words could not describe appeared before Xu Chen.

At this moment, Xu Chen was completely controlled by the woman in front of him, both in terms of physical karma and soul.

The woman stared at Xu Chen for a long time, then a smile appeared on her face, as beautiful as the sunrise over melting snow.

"I wondered why I felt a sense of familiarity; it turned out to be an old friend visiting."

With a gentle wave of her hand, the woman transformed the world and transported Xu Chen directly to her cave dwelling.

At the summit of a snow-capped mountain, Xu Chen was forced to sit at a tea table.

"My old friend is entangled with you by karma, yet he hasn't taken anything from you. It seems your identity is not simple," the woman said, looking at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen simply smiled slightly.

"Since you're already here, I'd like to have a chat with an old friend. I'm sure you won't mind, young friend?" The woman said, waving her hand gently. Xu Chen immediately felt his consciousness and soul trapped in a boundless expanse of time.

When he came to his senses, he found himself lying on an ice bed.

Xu Chen felt his body and his expression turned strange.

"Senior, what did you do with my body?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.

“Nothing much, but my old friend was amazed by your talent, so he took a bit of your life essence. He wants to use you as a model to create a new life to nurture.”

"Don't worry, my old friend said he'll make it up to you."

Just then, two powerful experts dressed as maids, all at the Great Venerable Realm, entered, carrying two trays. "My lord, these are for you from my Holy Lord."

On one tray was a supreme innate treasure sword, and on the other was a special container.

“A mere bit of life essence can be exchanged for an innate treasure; your essence is more valuable than mine,” Qianming laughed.

Xu Chen looked at the two items he had obtained by selling himself, pondered for a moment, and then waved his hand to accept them.

Needless to say, the innate treasure battle blade is something he can use right now.

Xu Chen glanced at the other container holding the Great Dao Divine Source and found that it contained 1000 crystals of Great Dao Divine Source, enough for a Saint Venerable to recover instantly.

"Senior, I consider this matter complete?" Xu Chen suddenly asked.

"You've finished."

After Qianming finished speaking, Xu Chen had 10 new coordinates in his mind, and each coordinate had a corresponding description of the faction it belonged to.

"I thought the Shenxuan Clan was already the strongest, but I didn't expect there to be a race with powerful experts at the Great Dao level." Xu Chen's expression was extremely shocked.

“Strong individuals who advance to the Great Dao through their race are extremely rare in the Star Sea Domain. I have only ever seen one.”

“You did a good job on this, that’s why I’m telling you,” Qianming said.

"Thank you very much, senior."

"Do you and that senior need to talk for a while longer? If not, I'll go check on the Shenxuan Clan."

"One meeting is enough."

Xu Chen nodded, then quickly used the fixed spatial rift to leave.

Outside the territory of the Divine Profound Clan, after Xu Chen arrived at the cave dwelling of the two Xu brothers, he discovered that they were refining the Inheritance Spirit Hall.

"What, hasn't it been sent out yet?" Xu Chen asked.

"We've released a batch, and so far there's been some small success; we're currently building up our reputation."

"These are preparations for the future."

“The territory of the Divine Profound Clan is too vast. The previously crafted Inheritance Spirit Halls were clearly insufficient, so we added another batch,” Da Xu explained.

"In that case, you all go ahead with your work. I'll take a look at the newly acquired innate treasure."

As Xu Chen spoke, he handed the special container holding the Great Dao Divine Source to Da Xu.

"So much of the Great Dao Divine Source!" Da Xu exclaimed in surprise.

"How did you do that?" Er Xu asked from the side.

"What you gain by selling yourself, cherish it well."

Xu Chen took out the innate supreme treasure battle sword and began to recognize it as his master.

The spirit of the innate treasure, which had been dormant for countless years, began to awaken. Upon seeing Xu Chen, it buzzed and called out, "Master!"

"Wake up slowly, there's no need to rush. It's not usually needed in combat."

Xu Chen stroked the innate treasure, carefully feeling the power of this battle blade.

"The purest way of killing is a good sword." Xu Chen suppressed the urge to try it out and put away the innate treasure battle sword.

"Senior, you can talk about the Divine Tree now. Let's try to finish it as soon as possible so we can go see it sooner," Xu Chen said.

“Shinto Tree, the four things I asked you to do are also easy to discuss.”

"The first thing is to go to the location I mentioned, set up a spatial array, take out a primordial spiritual treasure that I put in the treasure vault, and seal it in that spatial array."

Upon hearing the first thing, Xu Chen showed a strange expression.

"Senior, you've already prepared many such backup plans, are you going to do it again? Besides, what's the use of transferring that innate treasure to another location?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Just do as I say, and you'll understand later."

Xu Chen nodded slightly and accepted the two positions that Qianming offered him.

"These two locations are really far apart, and we need to cross several spatial turbulence zones," Xu Chen couldn't help but say.

"It's just a bit far; if you're lucky, it'll be fast too."

"Okay, then I'll go."

Xu Chen returned to the turbulent spatial area and began his search.

A thousand years later, when Xu Chen placed a primordial spiritual treasure into a spatial array to seal it, the first task was considered complete.

"And what's the second thing, senior?" Xu Chen asked.

"I've selected a group of the most talented beings from various places. Can you tell me how they are doing now?"

"If they're dead, so be it. If they're not, use this Great Dao Seal around them."

Xu Chen had 26 new coordinates in his mind, each of which corresponded to a cause and effect.

"Senior, that's going too far~" Xu Chen said leisurely.

"I'll settle two things with you~"

"All right."

In the following years, Xu Chen traveled for nearly ten thousand years before finding the corresponding 26 causes and effects in the 26 coordinates.

Of them, 12 died, the remaining 11 all became Great Venerable Realm experts, and the remaining three became Saint Venerable Realm experts.

"Not bad, there are some promising talents." Qianming's gratified voice echoed in Xu Chen's mind.

"Senior, these aren't all your backup substitutes, are they?" Xu Chen asked, observing one of the Great Venerables within a large alien clan.

"Being able to become a substitute for the younger generation is also their opportunity. You believe in cause and effect in your actions, and I would like to do the same."

“Even if they try to possess me, I will give them a way out,” Qianming Youyou said.

"Besides, the auspicious words I gave them are also a kind of karma, and they will have to repay that karma."

"It seems I should learn from my seniors about this contingency plan when I have time. The layout in the foreground truly covers the entire Star Sea Domain," Xu Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's not that exaggerated, these are all places I've been before." Qianming's voice carried a hint of pride.

Just as Xu Chen was thinking about helping to finish the last thing, he suddenly received a message from his clone in the human race's main world.

Xu Chen opened the spatial portal and returned to the Daxi Sect Star Sea Area, then quickly took the teleportation array to enter the Human Race Main Realm.

"In the dark side of the main realm, the two great venerables of the Dragon Clan and the Spirit Clan launched a surprise attack. Their army of millions was wiped out in an instant. Your master and mistress were both weakened and put into a deep sleep. They were taken back by the Dragon Clan."

"The Dragon Clan has sent word that they want to use your master and mistress's bodies to make a feast for all of them," said Grand Venerable Qingzhu, his face ashen.

"Are my master and mistress currently in the Dragon Clan?" Xu Chen asked after a moment of silence. (End of Chapter)
