The liver is a late bloomer!

"The world gives rise to the Tao, and the Tao gives rise to the world."

After seeing these two methods, Xu Chen fell into deep thought, because a question popped into his mind.

Which came first, the Way or the world?

Either the Dao came first, or this Star Sea Domain came first.

Upon realizing this, Xu Chen felt as if he had fallen into a huge abyss.

This abyss, intertwined with two questions, is unfathomably deep.

At this moment, the voice was still evolving the world, but after trying two different methods, the world that evolved was unstable.

At this moment, Xu Chen felt from the perspective of an observer that a world containing the Dao, or a world evolved from the Dao, was itself the most perfect product, between Daos and between worlds.

As time stretches on indefinitely.

The world that voice evoked was still imperfect.

"This is interesting? You've pulled my soul into this world, what do you want me to see?"

Just as Xu Chen was puzzled, the voice seemed to have suddenly realized something. It first scattered the Dao in a disordered manner in this darkest space without making any interference.

In the time that followed, Xu Chen felt these Great Daos begin to coalesce.

When these Daos came together, Xu Chen thought they would evolve into a world, but instead, these Daos began to evolve the will they had condensed.

Once these wisps of will from the Great Dao were condensed, they seemed to come alive and began to make all sorts of attempts.

The will of this great road began to change, a tree, a blade of grass, a stone, or a drop of water.

After endless changes, this will grew bored and began to create and combine these things.

From an outsider's perspective, Xu Chen had a premonition that this will was about to use its own Great Dao as the main force to begin evolving the world.

Just as Xu Chen was anticipating what would happen next.

The will of this Great Dao made a move that surprised Xu Chen.

He severed his own Great Dao and will, splitting them into two, forming two kinds of Great Dao wills.

However, the separated Great Dao Will is currently just a puppet of the main Great Dao Will.

The main Dao will allowed this puppet Dao will to live and die on its own.

Xu Chen observed carefully from the side.

Because no one controlled the will of this puppet, it dissipated on its own in a short time.

The Dao that was cut from the body of the main Dao consciousness also spread into this darkness.

These unconscious principles began to evolve and grow stronger on their own, and after reaching a certain level, they coalesced together again.

As Xu Chen gazed at this scene, countless years passed. When the will of the Great Dao had accumulated enough, it began to slowly coalesce, forcefully carving out a space within the dark world.

Within this space, the will of the Great Dao began to evolve the world.

Upon seeing this, Xu Chen vaguely understood something, but he still couldn't grasp its deeper meaning, as if he were scratching an itch through a boot.

Just as Xu Chen was about to continue reading, his soul suddenly lapsed, and his consciousness returned to the Holy White Space.

"I haven't finished comprehending it yet..."

As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, endless insights into the Great Immortal's words flowed into his mind.

Even with Xu Chen's strength at the Great Luo Realm, he almost couldn't accept these insights into the Great Dao.

Only after these contents were sealed and released little by little did Xu Chen dare to slowly comprehend them.

Xu Chen's sudden enlightenment lasted for 100,000 years.

When his will returned to his body, Xu Chen almost lost control of himself.

After thousands of years of seclusion, the sense of ruthlessness that came with cultivating the great immortal's words gradually faded away.

Xu Chen emerged from seclusion and looked at the sky of the Great Stream Sect Master's World. His once indifferent gaze regained its former brilliance.

"I used to think it was unbelievable that someone could go into seclusion for tens of thousands of years."

"It seems that I have reached this level now, and it will take a long time to comprehend the Great Dao."

The space in front of Xu Chen rippled slightly, and Xu Chen slowly stepped into it, as if he had merged into the water.

When Xu Chen came out again, he was already in the main hall where Yang Wanshan was.

"Junior brother." Yang Wanshan, who was handling the affairs of the Daxi Sect, suddenly looked up after sensing Xu Chen's presence.

"I came out of seclusion to take a look. I haven't congratulated my senior brother on advancing to the Great Luo Realm yet."

As soon as Xu Chen arrived, he sensed the aura of the Great Luo Realm emanating from Yang Wanshan.

"There's nothing to congratulate you on. You got to where you are by leveraging resources." Yang Wanshan waved his hand with a smile.

"Yes, I can see from your aura that it seems to be rising and falling like a myriad of paths, indicating that your cultivation has improved again."

"I have some thoughts."

Xu Chen smiled modestly.

Meanwhile, the thousand long rivers that span the entire Daxi Sect are beginning to evolve.

The projection of a thousand long rivers began to absorb the power of ten thousand long rivers, slowly expanding until it finally transformed into a projection of ten thousand long rivers.

At this moment, all the disciples of the Great Stream Sect felt this fluctuation and came out from their cave dwellings and pavilions to watch the changes in the myriad rivers.

"What my junior brother has only slightly felt is a tremendous change in my eyes."

Xu Chen and Yang Wanshan walked out of the Immortal Palace.

At this moment, the projection of the Myriad Rivers had already covered half of the Great Stream Sect.

"The scale of this Myriad Rivers is almost comparable to the projection of the Myriad Rivers in the Primordial Holy Land." Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh as he sensed the astonishing power of the Great Dao emanating from the projection of the Myriad Rivers.

"I feel like I'm still missing something. The profound essence of the Great Dao condensed in this myriad rivers of Dao will only be complete when I reach the Great Venerable Realm."

Xu Chen looked at the projection of the Myriad Rivers that he had modified and shook his head slightly.

"This is already impressive."

"It's still a little short for me."

As Xu Chen spoke, he gently waved his hand, and a set of six innate spiritual treasures appeared in his hand.

"Please accept this set of innate spiritual treasures as a congratulatory gift for your advancement to the Great Luo Realm."

A set of six innate spiritual treasures are all top-tier.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Yang Wanshan smiled and waved his hand, accepting all the innate spiritual treasures.

Has anything significant happened to the human race in the last 10 years?

The two arrived at the mountaintop they knew best.

"Yes, the three Holy Venerables of the Human Alliance joined forces to kill the newly promoted Holy Venerable of the Spirit Race."

"The Spirit Race Alliance and the Human Race Alliance are currently locked in a fierce battle, with battles at the Saint Venerable level erupting almost every few years." Yang Wanshan first mentioned the biggest event for the human race in nearly 10 years.

"Aren't the two holy lands going to be taken care of?"

"They would love for the fighting to be as intense as possible. The two holy lands have been locked in a stalemate for so long that neither can gain the upper hand."

"The two holy lands are now extremely quiet, watching the bustling activity of the myriad races in the main realm from the sidelines."

"Ok."

Just then, Xu Chen suddenly sensed a terrifying aura descending upon the Daxi Sect Star Sea.

Then, Xuan Ding Saint Venerable arrived at the Star Sea Territory of the Great Stream Sect, accompanied by another Heavenly Phoenix Clan Saint Venerable whose origin had been damaged. "What are Xuan Ding Saint Venerable and Feng Yuan Saint Venerable doing here?" Xu Chen asked in confusion.

"They came to borrow warships," Yang Wanshan said with a sigh.

Two figures descended into the world of the Great Stream Sect Master.

The moment Xuan Ding Saint Venerable arrived, he sensed Xu Chen's aura.

"Xu Chen, you've finally emerged from seclusion! Lend me a supreme innate treasure; I'm going to get my revenge!" said the Profound Cauldron Saint Venerable.

"Didn't you two seniors come here to borrow a warship?"

"I want them all, the fighting is about to start over there." Xuan Ding Saint Venerable's tone was somewhat anxious.

Xu Chen waved his hand and released the innate treasure, Drunken Mountain, and finally handed over the warship he used to Xuan Ding Saint Venerable.

"That's enough. I'll get a body at the Saint Venerable level and use it to reverse the origin and nourish your world."

After Xuan Ding Saint Venerable finished speaking, he ignored Feng Yuan Saint Venerable's hesitant expression and pulled him away.

They act swiftly and decisively, arriving quickly and departing just as fast.

"It seems that Saint Venerable Fengyuan has something to say?"

"I guess he wanted to make a good connection with you, but the sharp-eyed Xuan Ding Saint Venerable pulled him away." Yang Wanshan said, unable to help but laugh.

"Do you know how many major races our Human Alliance has right now?"

"Weren't there four? How many more were added while I was away?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Later, three more were added: the Star Silkworm Clan, the Heavenly Mountain Clan, and the Star Sand Clan. Each of these three clans has three Great Venerables, and they are all located deep within the Star Sea Domain."

"And among the human alliance, whether you joined first or later, the holy venerables of those great races most want to see you."

"Huh, why do they all want to see me?" Xu Chen asked, puzzled.

"They want you to help their clan refine an innate treasure, but you haven't come out of seclusion in recent years, so the human race won't bother you."

"I understand now. Has Da Xu forged a supreme innate treasure?"

"Nothing can be hidden from my junior brother."

"After Da Xu refined a supreme innate treasure, its fluctuations spread extremely far. At that time, a group of disciples were teleported back to the main human realm."

“In the main realm, a visiting Saint Venerable sensed this aura.”

"Then, within just tens of thousands of years, three major races joined the Human Alliance."

"I see."

Xu Chen and Yang Wanshan arrived at the Great Xu Cave.

At this moment, an incredibly massive innate spiritual treasure spatial gate stood in the cave.

"I have successfully crafted the innate spiritual treasure spatial gate you requested. In the future, when you go out, set the direction, and the spatial rifts in those spatial turbulence areas will open in that direction as well."

When the two entered, Da Xu was admiring the spatial portal he had crafted.

"good."

Xu Chen waved his hand and accepted the spatial gate.

"How does it feel to refine a supreme innate treasure?"

"It's alright. The potential of that innate spiritual treasure embryo is limited. Once refined, it can barely be considered a low-grade innate supreme treasure," Da Xu said calmly.

"Then do you want to refine a few more innate treasure embryos later?"

"My senior brother told me that it doesn't matter how many pieces I refine, but the question is what kind of reward I should receive, or whether it's a great Dao divine power." Da Xu looked at Xu Chen.

"We don't need any special powers; we can just exchange some materials. We don't lack anything here right now," Xu Chen said confidently.

"Alright, I'll send a message to Grandmaster Qingzhu and have them take the order."

After Da Xu finished speaking, he looked Xu Chen up and down.

"When do you plan to advance to the Great Venerable Realm?" Da Xu asked.

"It will take a while."

“Once you advance to the Great Venerable Realm, you will have exhausted all the paths available for weapon crafting.” Da Xu said, suddenly becoming somewhat sentimental.

"It's more meaningful to walk the path that no one has walked before."

The main territory of the human race is a world of great venerable beings.

Xu Qiangjia was fishing by the sea, with Wei Miaoqiu keeping him company. The couple exuded a sense of peaceful tranquility.

"Dad, mother~"

Xu Chen, along with Su Yueyao and Xu Xiyue, were teleported to this world.

"You've arrived!" The couple were overjoyed to see Xu Chen.

“You arrived just in time, coming to see us while your mother and I were on vacation,” Xu Qiangjia said, then showed Xu Chen the big fish he had caught.

"I haven't yet congratulated Father on his success in battle formations, commanding a vanguard army of millions of Golden Immortals to slay a highly respected expert," Xu Chen said admiringly.

Upon hearing Xu Chen's praise, Xu Qiangjia's face flushed red at a visible speed.

"At the time, we had no choice but to act out of necessity. You have no idea how dangerous the situation was."

Xu Qiangjia then went on to talk at length about this great battle.

"At that time, several Grand Venerables and Saint Venerables of the human race were entangled, and the great battle was at a critical moment."

"The Spirit Clan Grand Venerable who was injured some time ago suddenly joined the battlefield. Although he only has 70% of his combat power due to his injury, he should not be underestimated."

"There was no way I could escape from that situation. Although the innate spiritual treasures you gave me could allow me to escape alone, as a commander, how could I easily abandon my vanguard?"

"At that time, I was prepared to die a cowardly death, even if it meant sacrificing millions of my vanguard soldiers."

Xu Chen looked at his father's impassioned expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Wei Miaoqiu got up with a smile to prepare dishes for the group, and Xu Xiyue, who was next to her, immediately followed.

"I knew it. Dad would tell the whole story again after he saw my brother," Xu Xiyue whispered to Wei Miaoqiu.

“It’s normal for your father to repeat something he’s proud of several times,” Wei Miaoqiu said softly.

That night, Wei Miaoqiu prepared a sumptuous meal.

Xu Qiangjia hadn't finished recounting the experience of his millions of vanguard troops slaying the Spirit Clan's Grand Venerable. He even released a light screen, explaining to Xu Chen frame by frame the motivation behind his initial order.

"Interlocking strategies, Father, your knowledge of battle formations is already among the best of all the human commanders!" Xu Chen said with a smile.

Xu Chen admitted that there was some exaggeration in the praise, but it was still just a small amount.

The family ate until midnight before Xu Qiangjia finished telling his story.

"Chen'er, I've almost mastered the battle formation you created. Here are some suggestions for you to take a look."

"These suggestions are the culmination of my hundreds of thousands of years on the battlefield. After you've read them, could you create a few more top-tier battle formations?"

"The stronger the power of war, the fewer our vanguard soldiers will die on the battlefield."

Xu Qiangjia took out a magical jade slip as if it were a precious treasure.

Xu Chen solemnly accepted it with both hands and used his divine sense to examine it.

"Father, your suggestions are extremely important. Before I go into seclusion, I will create several more top-tier battle formations based on these suggestions," Xu Chen said solemnly, putting away the immortal artifact jade slip.

Since his father had spoken, Xu Chen naturally had to set aside more time to fulfill his father's request. The human race had been embroiled in frequent wars recently, and it was time to upgrade their battle formations. (End of Chapter)
