The liver is a late bloomer!

Within the Great Stream Sect Master World, the second branch sect's Great Venerable level world.

At this moment, Xu Chen, along with Su Yueyao and Xu Xiyue, were enjoying a table full of dishes.

"Great, I didn't expect to find such amazing food at the very first stop of this trip."

Xu Chen carefully tasted each dish and then gave his comments after finishing.

The more Xu Chen ate, the more intoxicated he became.

After finishing all 360 dishes, Xu Chen couldn't help but call the chef over to him for the first time.

A celestial chef from the Great Luo Realm.

"Greetings, Second Elder!" The Immortal Chef bowed respectfully as soon as he entered.

Xu Chen helped the Immortal Chef up.

"Did you create these dishes yourself, or did you inherit them?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"When I advanced to the Golden Immortal realm through my culinary skills, recipes for culinary inheritance suddenly appeared in my mind."

"These dishes were all made according to my original recipes." The chef's face lit up with joy as he saw that all the dishes on the table had been eaten.

"Excellent! The dishes you've prepared are incredibly delicious. Even someone like me, who has tasted countless delicacies from great clans and holy tribes, is amazed by them." Xu Chen didn't hold back his praise.

"To receive such praise from the Second Elder, all my efforts over the years have not been in vain." The Immortal Chef beamed with joy.

"How many signature dishes do you have left? Are these the only 360?" Xu Chen felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to eat another round.

"Yes, in addition to the dishes passed down through generations, there are also dishes created by the disciples themselves, totaling 3600 dishes, which correspond to the number of the heavens."

"If the Second Elder wishes to taste them, this disciple is willing to prepare them for you."

High mountains and flowing water, harmonious music.

A good chef hopes to encounter diners with good taste.

"Okay, do them all one by one." A hint of excitement appeared on Xu Chen's face.

"Second Elder, we can make most of these dishes, but there is one dish called 'Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow in Harmony,' which requires special ingredients," the Immortal Chef said first.

"No problem, I'll fetch it for you directly. Are there any requirements regarding the dragon and phoenix's cultivation level?" Xu Chen waved his hand and pointed out a spatial portal.

"The higher the cultivation level, the better; the purer the bloodline, the better."

"Can a dragon and phoenix at the Great Venerable Realm do it?" Xu Chen had already located all the teleportation arrays that the human race had buried in the main continent of the myriad races through the spatial gate.

"Yes, using a dragon and phoenix at the Great Venerable Realm to make this dish will not only make it an unparalleled delicacy, but also a highly nourishing dish."

The celestial chef's eyes lit up as he spoke; which celestial chef wouldn't crave such ingredients?

"Leave it to me, you go ahead and get things ready."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he stepped into the spatial portal and was teleported to a teleportation point closest to the human race.

This ability to connect to a teleportation array in the void was something Xu Chen couldn't have done so easily before he mastered the techniques of a Great Luo Immortal.

In a desolate area of ​​the protagonist's continent, Xu Chen's figure emerged from the earth and then transformed into the appearance of a Spirit Race Grand Venerable. His flesh, blood, soul, karma, and everything else were identical to those of the corresponding Spirit Race Grand Venerable.

Even in front of the Invincible Saint, he couldn't recognize him.

"I never imagined that this innate treasure of cause and effect could play such a role."

Xu Chen, transformed into the appearance of a Spirit Race Grand Venerable, stepped into the void and quickly infiltrated the human race's territory.

"Dragon Clan, Blood Phoenix Clan, perfect timing, we both have a grudge against each other, I'll eat a few of your Great Venerables as interest."

Within the Dragon Clan's territory, in a secondary celestial cave, a Great Venerable Realm true dragon, a thousand miles long, was coiling in its true form, comprehending the Great Dao.

The figure of the Spirit Clan Grand Venerable slowly emerged from the void, approaching the Grand Venerable Dragon Clan member without being detected.

"The old ones are too old, and the young ones are too young. This one is just right."

Xu Chen slapped his hand onto the scales of the Great Venerable Realm True Dragon.

The powerful dragon clan member at the Great Venerable Realm who was comprehending the Great Dao instantly felt a chill. Before he could react, he was controlled by a strange force.

Xu Chen stored the Great Venerable Realm True Dragon in his personal cave dwelling and then quietly left, leaving behind a deeper layer of Spirit Race aura.

Xu Chen then went to the Blood Phoenix Clan using the same method and obtained a Blood Phoenix expert at the Great Venerable Realm.

It took less than three days in total.

After Xu Chen returned to the second branch sect's Grand Venerable level world, the Immortal Chef had already prepared all the other ingredients.

Xu Chen arrived at the place where the immortal chef cooked and found that it was just a spatial cave that barely reached the level of a post-natal spiritual treasure.

A top-tier spatial cave dwelling acquired spiritual treasure appeared in Xu Chen's hands.

"Use this from now on. Your place is too small. You might not be able to fit some of the ingredients there."

The immortal chef looked at the acquired spiritual treasure cave floating in front of him and initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he accepted it.

Legend has it that the Second Elder Xu Chen is a legendary figure in the sect, and no one dares to refuse anything he bestows.

Xu Chen found an open space in the cave and waved gently.

A true dragon and a blood phoenix, each a thousand miles long, appeared in the cave.

At this moment, the two Grand Venerables were already under the control of Xu Chen's Dream Dao, and they would be immersed in the dream world and never wake up.

"Second Elder, they're still alive!" the Immortal Chef exclaimed in surprise.

"It's fresher when it's alive. You can keep this pair of dragon and phoenix here from now on, and you can cut something from them from time to time to research new dishes."

"They are dragons and phoenixes at the Great Venerable Realm. What you cut off will grow back over time."

"I'll come here to try it when I have time in the future."

"Let's get started now," Xu Chen said expectantly.

"As ordered!"

Xu Chen returned to the room where he had been waiting, where Su Yueyao and Xu Xiyue were both.

"You've collected them all so quickly?" Xu Xiyue exclaimed in shock.

“The dragons and phoenixes at the Grand Venerable level are not easy to handle. If you want to eat them in the future, you can come here every day to eat dragon meat,” Xu Chen said.

"That's great! I want to eat dragon heart and phoenix liver."

“We have both.”

As the three waited, the chef's signature dishes began to be served.

As soon as a dish was served, Xu Chen would taste it.

Xu Chen rated every dish as top-quality.

Xu Chen ate 3600 dishes in this private room for three days and three nights.

The last dish, in particular, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, almost made Xu Chen permanently addicted to its deliciousness.

"It was so delicious!" Xu Chen exclaimed, his face full of lingering enjoyment.

Just then, more dishes were served.

"Second Elder, I have prepared a few more dishes using dragon and phoenix ingredients. Please try them and offer your criticism if there are any shortcomings." The celestial chef appeared in the private room.

"Here, this is the dragon heart and chicken feet you wanted to eat earlier."

"Deep-fried chicken wings, stir-fried dragon kidneys, braised dragon meat..."

As the chef explained, Xu Chen slowly savored the food, his expression once again lost in reminiscence.

"It's really good. It's just a pity that I met you right away. I wonder if there will be any more amazing dishes later on." After a satisfying meal, Xu Chen led Su Yueyao and Xu Xiyue to explore this world.

After fully digesting the enormous energy within his body, Xu Chen went to the second famous restaurant, where the chef was also a Grand Luo level immortal chef.

At this moment, the celestial chef, who had been prepared in advance, used all his skills to make 1000 dishes for Xu Chen to taste.

Xu Chen nodded slightly as he tasted the dishes. Although they weren't as amazing as the ones at the first restaurant, Xu Chen could still appreciate a different kind of deliciousness.

After finishing the 1000 dishes, Xu Chen called over the Immortal Chef.

"The food is quite good, it was worth the trip." Xu Chen presented the immortal chef with an additional acquired spiritual treasure as encouragement.

“If you focus on studying food, you’re a little less skilled than my predecessor, but he benefited from having inherited the skills.”

Afterwards, Xu Chen led the two women to visit all the restaurants in the world of the Great Stream Sect Star Sea that had chefs at the Great Luo Realm level.

As long as the dishes are cooked well, Xu Chen will reward you with a postnatal spiritual treasure.

After finishing their meal, Xu Chen took the two women to the Nine Emperors City.

The three of them traveled abroad for a full thousand years before returning.

When he returned, Xu Chen brought back a huge amount of food boxes to share with his friends.

Inside the floating island cave, Xu Chen looked at Zong Changshou, who had come to pay his respects.

"I know, my senior sister has been possessed. Keep an eye on things and let me know if there's any news."

Xu Chen looked at Zong Changshou, who was still at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. In his perception, Zong Changshou's potential had been exhausted. If he did not have a great opportunity in the future, he would be trapped in the Golden Immortal realm forever.

"Yes, sir," Zong Changshou replied respectfully.

"For over a million years, you have been working for me. Now you have cultivated to the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, but your path to the Great Dao has come to an end."

"Now I'll give you two choices. One is that I'll use the origin of the Great Dao of Humanity to elevate you to the Great Luo Realm."

"Secondly, after I advance to the Great Venerable Realm, I will use my supreme Dao divine power to enlighten you and extend the Dao path that you have reached the end of."

After hearing the two options, Zong Changshou chose the second one without hesitation.

"You are decisive."

Several food boxes appeared out of thin air in front of Zong Changshou.

“I’ve been in seclusion for years, so I haven’t had time to drink with you. Even if I did invite you over, you wouldn’t feel comfortable.”

"These food boxes were made by the top human chefs. Find Chengfu when you have time, and you two can eat them for me," Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Good!" Zong Changshou accepted the food boxes and breathed a sigh of relief.

After Zong Changshou stepped down, Xu Chen looked towards the direction of the Great Dao Palace and sighed.

"It's a pity that Bei Ci and Wan Shi are both in seclusion breaking through to the Great Luo Realm. Otherwise, I could go have a drink with them."

While Xu Chen was enjoying the food, he contacted the main realm of the Great Dao Palace and learned that the two of them were in seclusion.

Unable to meet, Xu Chen could only buy more food boxes and send them over.

"Continue to practice."

Xu Chen gently raised his hand, and the last Myriad Dao Fruit appeared in his palm.

"Reaching the peak of the Great Luo Realm is definitely not a problem, but I wonder what kind of feeling this last Great Dao Fruit will give me in the River of Myriad Daos?"

Xu Chen then ate the Myriad Paths Fruit.

A familiar feeling washed over him in an instant, but this time Xu Chen's consciousness was not pulled into the River of Myriad Paths.

He himself transformed into the Dao, in a vast ocean resembling a myriad of rivers.

"Where is this?" Xu Chen asked in shock, looking at the colossal whale of the Great Dao in the distance, which was large enough to block the entire River of Myriad Daos.

Xu Chen controlled the direction of the Dao and began to explore this endless domain of the Great Dao.

At this moment, the Dao that Xu Chen drew had grown from the size of a tadpole to the size of a pond full of carp.

In this realm of the Great Dao, any spirit formed from the Great Dao that you encounter is stronger than yourself.

Xu Chen saw a Great Dao Spirit in the distance, which was about ten thousand miles long and looked like a shrimp, so he tried his best to move closer to it.

Before they even got close, they were blasted away a thousand miles by the aftershocks of the Great Dao Spirit.

"You're not letting me freeload anymore?"

As Xu Chen spoke, he turned his attention to the other Great Dao Spirits, but without exception, they were all shaken away as soon as they got close.

"If it doesn't work up there, I'll go down and take a look."

Xu Chen controlled the direction of the path and headed downwards, but he was stopped by an invisible force not long after he entered.

Looking at the abyss-like seabed of the Great Dao Domain, Xu Chen floated up again, first sensing his own Dao, and then trying to find a way to slowly approach those enormous Great Dao Spirits.

The cycle between the Great Dao continued for an unknown period of time until Xu Chen's consciousness returned to his physical body.

With Xu Chen's current mental strength, he almost couldn't withstand the impact of this profound understanding of the Great Dao.

Xu Chen sealed his understanding of the Great Dao, and then released it little by little.

As his understanding of these profound truths deepened, Xu Chen entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to that realm of the Great Dao.

Cultivation knows no time; another million years have passed.

When Xu Chen had fully digested all these insights into the Great Dao, his own realm advanced to the peak of the Great Luo Realm, just as he had predicted.

"Another million years."

Xu Chen slowly stood up and left the spatial cave he was in.

"My river of time is slowly stretching out."

Just as Xu Chen was feeling sentimental, Qianming's voice rang in his mind.

"You have so many feelings after a million years of seclusion. How can you withstand a ten-million-year seclusion after you advance to the Saint Venerable level?"

"He certainly couldn't have gone into seclusion for such a long time if he hadn't reached the Saintly Venerable realm."

"Senior, I have now advanced to the peak of the Great Luo Realm. Tell me about the scene when you advanced to the Great Venerable Realm."

Xu Chen strolled through the garden of the floating island cave, where the innate spiritual treasures, flowers, plants, and trees began to vie for attention.

In the distance, a Grand Venerable Realm puppet was tending to the flowers and plants.

"Young man, since you want to hear it, I will tell you."

"To advance to the Great Venerable level, you must embark on the Great Dao path that you have condensed. Once you embark on it, the Great Dao Tribulation will begin."

"Every step you take on the path of the Great Dao will bring different tribulations."

"Inner demons, tribulation lightning, the five signs of decay in a celestial being, the realm of solitude, the corruption of the Great Dao, battling one's own Great Dao body..."

"In short, the more Great Dao paths you gather, the longer you will be on that Great Dao path."

"The path of the Great Dao that I once forged exhausted all my trump cards. The dangers on this path of the Great Dao cannot be described as a matter of life and death."

"With your strength, you should have no problem traversing the first eleven paths. Your human emperor is quite something."

"As for what lies ahead, the great calamities we may encounter on the road are beyond my imagination. They will be extremely difficult, no less than if you were to fight a Saint Venerable expert right now."

Xu Chen frowned slightly upon hearing Qian Ming's words.

"I could try fighting a Saint Venerable level expert, but I'm really not confident I could win," Xu Chen said leisurely. (End of Chapter)
