The liver is a late bloomer!

"The two teleportation arrays connecting to the Divine Artifact Clan are both quite far from here. You'd better just take your time and use the spatial turbulence area to get there slowly," Qianming's voice rang out.

"I didn't expect traveling to be such a hassle," Xu Chen sighed.

In the vast and endless region of spatial turbulence, one spatial rift after another was fixed, and then clones shuttled through each spatial rift.

Sensing the messages transmitted by his clone, Xu Chen suddenly had an idea.

"It would be good if we could detect information about the Holy Race from the spatial rift, but the chances of that are too low."

"Let's ride the donkey while looking for a horse."

Xu Chen looked at the area of ​​spatial turbulence and mentally assessed whether the star sea regions beyond the spatial rifts were valuable. He fixed the star sea regions rich in stellar energy and directly abandoned the barren regions.

Xu Chen randomly tried his luck here and stayed for hundreds of years.

Although there have been areas that have come close over the past few centuries, none have reached the distance that Xu Chen envisioned.

"Let's stop looking and just go to that area with the richest stellar energy."

Xu Chen took a step and entered a fixed spatial rift.

After arriving here, Xu Chen began to slowly search in the direction of his ultimate goal.

Based on Xu Chen's past experience, places with abundant stellar energy are bound to have powerful clans. As long as he can find a powerful clan in the vicinity, he can easily obtain information about the surrounding spatial rifts.

Xu Chen encountered a world at the Great Luo level during his flight.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Chen stole the memories of the most powerful Great Luo Realm expert in the Great Luo World.

"It's a bit far, we'll have to use the Star Teleportation Technique."

Just as Xu Chen was about to use the Star Teleportation Technique to leave, a primordial treasure warship that resembled a continent flew out from the void.

The warship was less than ten million miles away from Xu Chen. For a Great Luo Realm expert, this distance was practically as close as if it were right next to his face.

Xu Chen concealed himself in the void, his gaze fixed with considerable interest on the innate treasure warship.

"Looks like I should come out for a stroll if I have nothing else to do, otherwise where can I see this innate treasure warship?"

Having temporarily postponed his plan to go to the spatial turbulence zone, Xu Chen slowly followed behind the innate treasure warship.

"The alien race at the Great Luo Realm who stole it had no information about this innate treasure warship in its mind, so it should be its first time here."

Xu Chen used three innate spiritual treasures of cause and effect to conceal his figure, and thus followed the innate treasure warship silently.

For hundreds of years, this innate treasure warship followed behind, during which it jumped through space several times, and Xu Chen followed the spatial fluctuations to keep up.

A vast city built in the void, spanning hundreds of billions of miles.

The innate treasure warship finally docked inside that void city.

Xu Chen stood in the void, looking at the great city with a scrutinizing gaze.

"This great city pierces through nine layers of void, drawing power directly from the myriad rivers of energy."

"Senior, do you recall this?" Xu Chen asked.

"Ah~~"

"I have to say, you're really lucky, kid. You even managed to run into one of the Hongmeng Clan's branch bases here," Qianming sighed.

"Please explain in detail, senior," Xu Chen said, intrigued.

"The strongest race I have encountered in the long river of time I have traveled is the Hongmeng race."

"Among the Hongmeng Clan, there are three powerful beings who have reached the Great Dao: the Dao of the Past, the Dao of the Present, and the Dao of the Future."

"The key point is that what I encountered was a branch, a territory supposedly controlled by the Hongmeng Clan..."

At this point, Qianming paused for a moment.

“It’s even more vast than any starfield I’ve ever traversed,” Qianming said.

"This is also a void station established by the Hongmeng Clan for ultra-long-distance teleportation. I have been fortunate enough to use it a few times, and the distance I have traversed is even farther than using spatial turbulence."

Upon hearing Qianming's explanation, Xu Chen's eyes lit up.

"Can outsiders use it?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Of course not. If you want to use it, you need to become a partner of the Hongmeng Clan, a vassal race, or a foreign being."

"I am a foreign being of the Hongmeng clan."

As Qianming spoke, he transmitted a bunch of memories into Xu Chen's mind.

The memory contains detailed descriptions of how to become a partner of the Hongmeng Clan or a foreign being.

Xu Chen looked at the memories in his mind, a look of disinterest on his face.

"Interesting. I didn't expect there to be such a powerful race. However, the conditions for becoming a foreign being and establishing a connection with them are really difficult."

"The unorthodox path actually requires reaching the divine level to be qualified."

With a smile on his face, Xu Chen flew towards the city.

The moment it appeared, it was locked onto by a massive divine sense.

Ten armored Da Luo Realm puppets appeared, their spears pointed at Xu Chen.

"This is the territory of my Hongmeng Clan's post station. Anyone who trespasses shall die."

These ten Great Luo Realm puppets posed no threat to Xu Chen. What made Xu Chen cautious was a giant cannon in the distant city.

Although he appeared extremely ordinary, Xu Chen sensed a faint aura of death emanating from him.

"I am a divine-grade weapon refiner, and I wish to become a foreign being or a business partner of your Hongmeng clan," Xu Chen said.

"The law of causality has determined this to be true," a mechanical voice announced.

"Then please follow me."

As they spoke, the two Grand Venerable Realm puppets led Xu Chen to the void city.

The giant city was rather empty, with only a few Hongmeng people walking on the streets.

The Hongmeng Clan looks no different from the human race, but they are naturally surrounded by the aura of the Great Dao, making them seem like high and mighty gods compared to humans.

"We need to test it. Please take out 10 innate spiritual treasures that you have refined. If the number is not enough, our city will provide you with innate spiritual treasure embryos so that you can refine them on the spot."

Inside a temple, a young girl from the Hongmeng Clan looked at Xu Chen with curiosity, scrutinizing him before speaking.

Xu Chen thought for a moment, then waved his hand and released ten Great Venerable-level puppets, which were also innate spiritual treasures.

The Hongmeng Clan girl's eyes lit up slightly when she saw these puppets. After testing them, she gave Xu Chen a pass.

"From today onwards, you are a foreign being of my Hongmeng Clan."

"After becoming a foreign being, one can enjoy some of the benefits of the Hongmeng Clan and can use the Hongmeng Clan's teleportation array."

"You can exchange contributions for the Hongmeng Clan's divine abilities and techniques."

"In addition to welfare benefits, every 100,000 years, foreign beings are required to complete one task within their level or submit 100 Crystal Dao Origin Nerves."

The Hongmeng Clan girl took out a communication token, a kind of acquired spiritual treasure resembling a mobile phone, and handed it to Xu Chen.

"This is our tribe's communicator. It has many functions. You can explore it yourself."

After saying these words, the girl breathed a slight sigh of relief. "You are also the first foreign being in nearly a million years to successfully become a member of my Hongmeng Clan in Yicheng," the girl said, looking at Xu Chen.

"Is this area the edge of the Hongmeng Clan's territory?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Of course not. This place is very far from the Hongmeng Clan. It would take tens of trillions of years to travel at the speed of a standard innate spiritual treasure flying boat."

"This post station was just randomly placed in this void, and it's only used for emergency teleportation," the Hongmeng girl said.

"Can I use this teleportation array now?" Xu Chen asked.

“Of course it can be used, but it costs money, at least 500 catties of Great Dao Divine Source.” The Hongmeng Clan girl looked at Xu Chen with shining eyes.

"So expensive... The currency used by the Hongmeng Clan is the Great Dao Divine Source," Xu Chen asked.

"It's just a mid-range currency. The low-end currency, the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal, requires the Great Dao Divine Source to be used for long-distance teleportation via the teleportation array in the post station city."

"Are there any post towns near this location?" Xu Chen reported the coordinates of the Divine Artifact Clan.

“No, and this post station is the closest to these coordinates.” The Hongmeng girl shook her head after only glancing at the coordinates.

"Alright." Xu Chen sighed and could only slowly search along the spatial rift.

"Are there any cave dwellings in Yicheng? I'd like to rent one to study this communication artifact." Xu Chen discovered that this communication artifact involved many things, all of which he needed to understand.

"The cave is free, I'll take you there~"

The Hongmeng girl waved her hand and released a small wooden boat, just big enough to accommodate the two of them.

"You left without permission, are you alright?"

"We haven't seen a single living creature in hundreds of thousands of years, so there's no point in staying here."

"Come on, I'll take you to the cave."

The flying boat headed towards the sky above the post station.

Inside a cave filled with birdsong, fragrant flowers, and warm sunshine.

"Stay anywhere, it's free."

After the girl from Hongmeng finished speaking, she sat cross-legged on the grass in the cave and looked at Xu Chen.

"Aren't you leaving?" Xu Chen looked at the Hongmeng Clan girl for a moment and then asked.

"It's been hundreds of thousands of years since a single living being has finally arrived, so of course we have to have a good chat."

“Alright, you can ask me anything you don’t understand about the Hongmeng Clan,” the Hongmeng Clan girl said.

"Besides exchanging for cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, can the contribution points mentioned above be exchanged for other things, such as innate treasures?" Xu Chen asked.

"Of course~"

"How are contribution points obtained? Is the only way to get them is by accepting missions?" Xu Chen asked again.

"Most of the time, you can earn contribution points by accepting missions, but it's possible that you might see the bounty items or bounty creatures of the Hongmeng Clan. You can also earn contribution points by handing them over."

The Hongmeng Clan girl looked Xu Chen up and down.

"You are very powerful. I am also at the Great Luo Realm. I feel that even if I go all out, I can't hurt a single hair on your head."

"In our clan, I'm known as a pillar of strength, so it's normal for me to be stronger," Xu Chen replied to the Hongmeng clan girl while studying the communication artifact.

"A title that sounds impressive." The Hongmeng Clan girl nodded.

"By the way, how many Hongmeng Clan members are there in your post city now?" Xu Chen suddenly asked.

"More than 1000 million, I guess. They're usually in seclusion, and there are very few in Yicheng," the Hongmeng girl said boredly.

"Besides teleportation, does this post station serve any other purpose?"

"Of course, we need to observe the historical development of the various clans around Yicheng and record and upload the information."

"More importantly, we are searching for the resources that my Hongmeng clan lacks," the Hongmeng girl said, lying on the grass and looking at the simulated sun in the sky.

"The Hongmeng Clan is still lacking resources?" Xu Chen was taken aback.

"The Hongmeng Clan lacks many things. If you can find just one of them, you will gain immense wealth and power."

With a gentle flick of her finger, the communication artifact in Xu Chen's hand emitted a beam of light that projected into the air.

The items listed above are all things that the Hongmeng Clan lacks.

"The Darkest Divine Crystal, the Abyss of Extreme Blood, the Dream Path Divine Crystal, the Tears of a Fallen Divine Beast..."

“There are quite a few things missing, but unfortunately I don’t have any of them…” Xu Chen paused here, looking at an item on the light screen.

The Method for Establishing a Connection Between Dreams and the Real World

"Is this difficult?" Xu Chen pointed to something on the light screen.

"It's difficult. So far, no one in my Hongmeng Clan has reached the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm through the Dream Path. In recent years, a prodigy has finally emerged in the clan, but he has stopped at the peak of the Saint Venerable Realm. He can't seem to reach the Invincible Realm no matter what."

"Finally, as he said, we need to build a world where dreams and reality intertwine."

"Simply put, you can take things from the real world into your dream world, and you can take things out of your dream world," the Hongmeng girl explained.

"The Path of Dreams is also one of my main cultivation paths. I'll study it when I have time." Xu Chen kept this in mind.

"If you can truly create this world, the contribution points you receive will be enough to buy three innate treasures without any problem," the primordial maiden said with a smile.

Xu Chen then chatted with the Hongmeng girl about the Hongmeng Clan.

"I was born into a small family, and it was a collateral branch. In addition, I had no talent, so I could only use resources to force myself to reach the Great Luo Realm before being released outside."

"That awful fiancé of mine! We were betrothed since we were little, but then he rejected me because he thought I was too unworthy and ran off with a woman who was exceptionally talented."

"But later I found out that my fiancé was right. Now those two bastards are both at the Great Venerable Realm and I have to call them seniors when I see them."

As they chatted, the conversation turned to the private affairs of the Harmony Girl.

"In the Hongmeng Clan, is the cultivation level of adults usually the Great Luo?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.

"How is that possible? With the resources provided by the clan, even those of mediocre talent can cultivate to the Xuanxian realm."

"Anyone with a little talent and resources can cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm. If I didn't have my family's support, I would probably waste my whole life in the Golden Immortal realm."

"Only those with both talent and resources can reach the Great Luo Realm."

"If that were really the case, my Hongmeng clan would have Saint Venerables everywhere by now," the Hongmeng girl said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Thank you for chatting with me for so long."

"I can return to the Hongmeng Clan in a million years. If you come to the Hongmeng Clan, I will be your guarantor and take you to see the beautiful scenery of my Hongmeng Clan and taste all the delicacies of my Hongmeng Clan." After saying this, the Hongmeng girl waved goodbye and left.

"I never imagined that after tens of millions of years, she would still have such a youthful feel." Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh as he looked in the direction the Primordial Maiden had left.

After the Hongmeng Clan girl left, Xu Chen began to seriously study the communication magic item.

Xu Chen checked the task section and found that the contribution points were actually 1:1 with the Great Dao Divine Source Realm, with one contribution point being able to exchange for one crystal of Great Dao Divine Source.

"One contribution point will be awarded for refining 10 innate spiritual treasures." Xu Chen's eyes lit up when he saw this.

"Looks like we're about to strike it rich." (End of Chapter)
