The liver is a late bloomer!

"If that's what you say, senior, I'm even more looking forward to the world ahead."

"However, I need to go back to the human race before I go."

As Xu Chen spoke, he opened a spatial portal, entered it, and returned to the Star Sea Territory of the Great Stream Sect.

Upon his return, he received countless messages, and a terrifying aura descended upon Xu Chen.

"Greetings, Venerable Xuanding." Xu Chen was taken aback when he saw Venerable Xuanding, and then bowed in greeting.

"Where have you been for the past 29 years? You didn't even leave a message for your clone," Xuan Ding Saint Venerable said to Xu Chen.

"I had an epiphany in a strange place, but I didn't have time to inform the human race at the time."

"How have things been for our human race over these 29 years?" Xu Chen asked, as this was what he feared most.

"There's nothing seriously wrong. It's just that a few battles at the Saint Venerable level broke out among the myriad races in the main realm. If it weren't for the Great Dao Divine Source you provided earlier, I might have fallen into a deep sleep."

"So as soon as I received your message, I came to check on you. Seeing that you were alright, I was relieved." Xuan Ding Saint Venerable breathed a sigh of relief, and then solemnly bowed to Xu Chen.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't do that. It's just a bit of the Great Dao Divine Source. We can have more if needed in the future."

As Xu Chen spoke, he took out 1 crystals of Great Dao Divine Source and handed them to Xuan Ding Saint Venerable.

"This is my dividend to the human race. Please pass it on for me, Holy Venerable."

Xuan Ding Saint Venerable took the container containing the Great Dao Divine Source, examined it with his divine sense, and couldn't help but open his mouth in shock.

"Ten thousand crystals of Great Dao Divine Source, did you rob a powerful expert on the Great Dao?" Xuan Ding Saint Venerable couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

"I don't have the guts to do that, I just used some clever tricks to plunder a few holy clans, and these Great Dao Divine Sources were just a side effect," Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Senior, what is the current situation of the human race?"

"The Human Emperor was right after all. You have great fortune since you were a child, a great fortune that can protect the entire human race!"

"The human race is fine for now. The two holy lands are in chaos, and it's possible that a battle at the Saint Venerable level has broken out. But our human race has a strong foundation, and we also have the Great Dao Divine Source that you provided, so nothing bad will happen for the time being," said Saint Venerable Xuanding with a smile.

"Then I'm relieved. My adventures are still ongoing. After coming back to take a look around, I'll have to go back."

Upon hearing that Xu Chen had encountered another extraordinary event, the Venerable Xuanding quickly told Xu Chen to attend to his own affairs before taking his leave.

"The Xuan Ding Saint Venerable really has a fiery personality."

As Xu Chen spoke, he used the Star Teleportation Technique to arrive in the Great Stream Sect Master's World.

Inside the main hall of the Daxi Sect, Yang Wanshan, Sheng Qing, and Xu Xiyue looked at Xu Chen with a mixture of surprise and relief.

"Brother, you're finally back! If it weren't for your clone still being here, I would have been really scared..."

Hearing his younger sister's words, Xu Chen's face darkened.

"I can't die yet."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Yang Wanshan and Sheng Qing.

"How has the sect developed over the years? Have any of the most outstanding disciples advanced to the Great Luo Realm?" Xu Chen asked.

"Currently, the Great Stream Sect has 32 Great Luo Realm experts and 3 Golden Immortal Realm cultivators at their peak."

"It is estimated that in the next million years, our Great Stream Sect will have at least 3000 Great Luo disciples," Sheng Qing excitedly introduced.

"That's right, the development is even faster than I expected."

"I came back this time just to check on the sect. My adventures there are still ongoing. After seeing my parents one last time, I'll go back to continue," Xu Chen said, sipping the immortal tea brewed by Xu Xiyue.

“Junior brother, if you have urgent business, go ahead. Come back later, and I’ll tell you in detail about the development of the Great Stream Sect over the years, which has been quite tortuous,” Yang Wanshan said.

"tortuous?"

"I'll go see my parents first."

As Xu Chen spoke, he took out the innate supreme treasure, the Sin Mountain, and granted Yang Wanshan a sliver of its authority.

"Among this innate treasure is a puppet of Saint Venerable level. You can use it for now, and we'll figure out a solution when I get back."

Yang Wanshan was shocked when he saw the small mountain of innate treasures that had fallen into his hands. Had innate treasures become so abundant in his junior brother's hands?

“No need. Our Great Stream Sect’s territory is now impregnable. Even if three or four Saint Venerables came, they would still die. There’s no need for them,” Yang Wanshan quickly said.

"I don't need it for the time being, so please take it, senior brother."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he used the Star Teleportation Technique to leave.

In the main star sea area of ​​the human race, Xu Chen arrived at Xu Qiangjia's residence based on the information sent to him by Qingzhu Dazun.

“You’ve been gone for 29 years, that’s a long time. If Xiaoyue hadn’t said that your clone is still around, I might have set up a memorial tablet for you in our ancestral hall.”

Seeing Xu Chen, Xu Qiangjia was extremely excited and hugged Xu Chen, tears streaming down his face.

Xu Xiyue and Wei Miaoqiu, who were standing to the side, were also in tears, their eyes filled with relief.

"He achieved enlightenment in a single day, which took 29 years. Although it was a long time, it was extremely helpful for my son's future cultivation of the Great Dao," Xu Chen explained.

"It's good that you're back." Xu Qiangjia released his son.

"Are you going out again this time when you come back?"

"I still have to go. The adventures over there aren't over yet. I came back to let you know because I was afraid you'd worry," Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Then you should hurry back, lest you miss out on this amazing adventure," Xu Qiangjia said hastily.

"It's not that urgent. I have something else to take care of since I came back."

As Xu Chen spoke, he sensed his father's cultivation level, which was barely in the lower middle range of the Golden Immortal Realm.

Seeing his son and sensing his own cultivation level, Xu Qiangjia coughed.

"Over the years, I've focused on military command and neglected my cultivation. But I'll make up for it sooner or later after this great battle," Xu Qiangjia said, making excuses for himself.

"Dad, you don't need to explain."

Xu Chen patted Xu Qiangjia on the shoulder.

A seven-colored auspicious cloud gathered in the sky above the Star Sea, and then a ray of light shone on Xu Qiangjia.

A large amount of the Great Dao Qi and Fortune of the Human Race poured into Xu Qiangjia's body, causing his cultivation to slowly improve.

This human race's great fortune not only simply improved his cultivation, but Xu Chen also infused it with the power of several great Dao divine abilities, and with the power of the Dream Dao, he poured in the great Dao divine abilities that Xu Chen knew.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Qiangjia's cultivation level had risen to the Great Luo realm, and he had mastered five Great Dao Divine Powers.

After the Great Dao of Humanity was fully infused, Xu Qiangjia, who had mastered the five Great Dao Divine Powers and reached the Great Luo Realm, was already considered a strong person in the Great Luo Realm.

"Chen'er, what you've instilled in me is the origin of the Great Dao of Humanity!" Xu Qiangjia exclaimed in surprise.

"bingo."

As Xu Chen spoke, he came to Wei Miaoqiu's side and patted her on the shoulder.

Suddenly, the rosy light shone on Wei Miaoqiu.

"Chen'er, I don't need to fight, and you don't need to waste the power of the human race's Great Dao fortune on me," Wei Miaoqiu said hurriedly.

"I control the destiny of the Great Dao of Humanity. These are all the source of my destiny of the Great Dao of Humanity. It would be a waste not to use them to enhance you, Father and Mother," Xu Chen said. Xu Xiyue, who was standing to the side, lit up when she heard Xu Chen's words.

"Bro, I want to improve too!"

"Get out of here. You should be cultivating on your own at such a young age. Your limit is the Great Luo Realm. We'll talk about it when you reach the Great Luo Realm and advance to the Great Venerable Realm," Xu Chen said, rolling his eyes at Xu Xiyue.

"After using the Great Dao of Humanity to improve one's cultivation, it's the same as devouring those worlds to improve one's cultivation. In the future, this will be the only way to improve one's cultivation."

“Our parents have exhausted their potential. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will both reach the Golden Immortal realm in this lifetime. But you are different. You still have potential. So we will wait until you cultivate to the Great Luo realm before we can see how you are doing.”

"What if you have a fortuitous encounter during this period? Wouldn't it be a waste to use the essence of human destiny to improve yourself?"

Hearing Xu Chen's words, Xu Xiyue hid to the side and scratched her head, her expression a little aggrieved.

"But cultivation is very tiring..."

“Even if you’re tired, you still have to cultivate. As my sister, it’s not good if you can’t even reach the Great Luo Realm. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for me?” Xu Chen looked at Xu Xiyue and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Forget about your parents, you think you can just lie down and relax? No way.

After doing all this, Xu Chen opened the spatial portal and returned to the Divine Tree.

Xu Chen looked at another leaf and strode into it.

Upon arriving here, Xu Chen fell into the sea, and his cultivation level was reduced to that of a mortal.

"There isn't even a plank of wood here, how am I supposed to survive?" Xu Chen looked around and found that all he could see was an endless expanse of sea.

Although his cultivation level was reduced to that of a mortal, he was still among the most powerful beings in the mortal realm, able to endure swimming in the sea for several days.

Seeing nothing on the surface of the sea, Xu Chen took a deep breath and dived into the ocean.

Compared to the vast open sea, the scenery in the sea is extremely diverse.

Seeing the seaweed growing on the seabed for tens of meters, Xu Chen dived down and forcefully tore off more than a dozen seaweeds, which floated to the surface.

"I never imagined that one day I would be working in shipbuilding."

Seaweed has a certain buoyancy, and it is also several tens of meters long. In a short time, Xu Chen wove a seaweed blanket that could float on the sea surface.

After resting on the seabed for a while, Xu Chen went back down to continue pulling seaweed.

After more than a dozen trips, they finally wove a seaweed boat.

"It's been a long time since I've felt this exhausted."

Lying on the seabed, Xu Chen picked up a fish he had caught on the seabed and ate it raw.

"If this world were all sea, it wouldn't be fun," Xu Chen said, looking at the boundless sea in the distance and then at the blazing sun in the sky.

Over the next ten days or so, Xu Chen traveled thousands of miles in a seaweed boat, but still did not see any land, and he eventually gave up hope.

"In that case, we can only spend a hundred years building this small boat to make a living."

Xu Chen sighed and jumped back into the sea, beginning his search for materials to build a ship.

Once you enter the seabed, in addition to endless seaweed, there are also many uniquely shaped shrubs and trees.

Xu Chen then picked seaweed and these shrubs every day to piece together his seaweed boat.

After confirming that there was enough buoyancy, Xu Chen scooped up sea mud from the seabed and spread it on the bed.

Day after day, over a year, Xu Chen wove his small boat into a floating continent.

As the night sky reflected the starry river into this small world, Xu Chen lit a campfire on this floating continent, roasting sea fish and admiring the night view.

"Why did the Divine Tree create such a world?" Xu Chen pondered as he ate his grilled fish.

At least with his cultivation level of the Great Luo Realm, he couldn't see the significance of this world.

Whether it was enlightenment, the possession of spiritual treasures, or something else, Xu Chen found nothing unusual about this world.

"Forget it, even Senior Qianming couldn't benefit from it, so there's even less chance for me." Xu Chen threw the fish bones he had finished eating directly into the sea.

"Kid, I think I've been to this world before." Qianming's voice suddenly echoed in Xu Chen's mind.

"Ah, how did you do it back then, senior? Did you do it the same way I did?" Xu Chen asked.

"I'm not as diligent as you. I only used seaweed to weave a small island boat that can float on the sea. For the rest of the past hundred years, apart from eating and drinking, I have been comprehending the Tao and pondering the meaning of the existence of this world."

"By the way, don't even think about the existence of any special treasures in this world, there's nothing there." Qianming's tone conveyed a sense of utter exasperation towards this world.

"Alright, let's skip the treasure hunting and enlightenment."

“Then we can’t just sit idle for a hundred years,” Xu Chen said, patting the floating continent he had created.

"In the future, I plan to weave a larger floating continent out of seaweed and see if I can create a secluded paradise."

"Although this world lacks spiritual energy, it follows the rules of ordinary worlds. As long as there are enough sea fish and you consume more fish meat, you can also cultivate some qi and blood strength."

As Xu Chen spoke, he slowly stood up and began practicing the most basic Qi and Blood Foundation Building Method.

Its body resembled that of an ape, and it nimbly traversed and honed its own qi and blood on this floating continent.

"Your method of cultivating qi and blood is too rudimentary. I have tens of thousands of top-tier qi and blood foundation-building methods here. Do you want to learn them?" Qianming's disdainful voice rang out.

"Senior, could you please take a look at where this place is? Do you think I don't have the most advanced Qi and Blood Foundation Building techniques?"

"This method of resolving the problem, along with the resources in the sea, can only barely provide enough for me to cultivate this Qi and Blood Foundation Building method," Xu Chen couldn't help but complain.

"That's too rough."

"You don't need to worry about this, senior."

Day after day, year after year.

Besides cultivating, Xu Chen would dive into the sea to pull out seaweed that was tens of meters long, in order to reinforce this floating continent.

Gradually, the continent where Xu Chen was located grew larger and more solid.

In addition, Xu Chen also discovered various minerals on the seabed, including coal.

Upon seeing this, Xu Chen immediately felt motivated.

Coal and iron ore were mined, and blast furnaces were built using seabed silt to refine iron and copper ore.

Gradually, the most primitive metallurgical plants were built on Xu Chen's floating continent.

Using the knowledge he had acquired in his previous life, Xu Chen handcrafted a steam-powered iron ship.

Looking at the 30-meter-long steam-powered iron ship, Xu Chen's face lit up with an excited smile.

He calculated the time; he had only been in this world for a little over a decade.

"This world is getting more and more interesting. It seems like the seabed has all kinds of resources."

"Then I'll use the remaining time to develop to my heart's content and see what era I can evolve to."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he began to hand-craft an underwater mining ship.

"Kid, you have quite a lot of strange knowledge in your head. I was too lazy to deal with it when I first discovered it." (End of Chapter)
