The liver is a late bloomer!

"I don't believe that choosing a road intersection based purely on luck is possible; there's absolutely no pattern to it."

As Xu Chen spoke, he once again channeled the power of the Great Dao within him, drawing forth the myriad rivers of Dao, and began to continue his attempt to embark on the path of the Great Dao.

Having traversed the main road once before, Xu Chen knew the way well and easily arrived at the crossroads he had chosen.

Looking at the three-way intersection, Xu Chen actually chose to walk down another one.

Walking forward from the intersection, Xu Chen's eyes lit up as another three-way intersection appeared before him.

At this moment, Xu Chen made another choice, and luckily, he chose the right path once again.

But when Xu Chen chose the third intersection and walked in, his body exploded and turned into a blood mist.

Xu Chen's consciousness was revived in the Holy White Space.

"When I reached the crossroads, I transformed into a mortal. I couldn't use any supernatural powers like divination or the magic of immortals. I really had to make a choice step by step."

"Or perhaps the will of the Star Sea Domain inherently prevents living beings from passing through," Xu Chen pondered.

"I'm not going to think about it anymore. Anyway, I can be resurrected in the Holy White Space. If I keep trying, I'll eventually find the pattern!"

Xu Chen once again energized his own Dao power, and at this moment, Xu Chen felt as if he had returned to the time when he lit the Blood Lamp.

Since there's always a chance to try and fail, Xu Chen could try countless times, and if he succeeded, it wouldn't be a loss.

A myriad of rivers appear, and the path of the Great Way emerges.

Xu Chen took another 72 million steps and arrived at the crossroads where he could choose a path.

Xu Chen chose the same intersection as before, but this time he made the wrong choice, and his figure exploded into a blood mist.

As his consciousness returned, Xu Chen began to review the events, searching for the relationship between the path to the Great Way and the choices made at crossroads.

Try it again and again.

Time, cause and effect, the mood of embarking on the path of the Great Way, and the speed at which the obstacles are overcome.

Xu Chen studied it bit by bit.

Despite millions of attempts, nothing was found.

"It's completely random."

Xu Chen's best run was navigating eight intersections before making the wrong choice.

There's absolutely no pattern to it!

Thinking of this, Xu Chen trembled all over.

This time, he will unite the ten Great Paths and see how it goes.

The familiar River of Myriad Paths appeared, and the Path of the Great Dao appeared at the reverse flow of the River of Myriad Paths in a mixture of the power of the ten Great Daos.

Xu Chen embarked on 10 different paths to enlightenment, and he clearly felt that they were simpler than the 13 paths he had chosen.

It made the choice at the intersection much easier.

At this moment, a message in his mind told him that there were only 9 intersections in this place, and as long as he walked to the end, he could become a Great Venerable by following the 10 Great Paths.

"Let's give it a try~" Xu Chen said as he stepped into one of the lanes.

Although there were only nine main roads, Xu Chen still found it extremely difficult to navigate. He tried again and again, reaching as far as the seventh intersection, and just like before, there was no pattern to it.

Xu Chen's figure once again turned into blood mist and revived in the Holy White Space.

"This is too difficult! Is it impossible to advance to the Great Venerable level by using more than ten Great Dao paths?" Xu Chen looked up at the sky with some frustration.

"There must be a way! There's always a glimmer of hope!"

Xu Chen then sat in the Holy White Space, continuing to review his choice at the crossroads.

The choices I made in the past replayed in my mind over and over again, but there was nothing unusual about them, and no pattern to them.

"Great Immortal's words are powerful, choose accordingly!"

Xu Chen used the Great Immortal's Words technique to deduce the choice of the crossroads in his mind, but the Great Immortal's Words technique, which had always worked in the past, failed him this time and gave no hints.

"We definitely haven't found the right method." Xu Chen stroked his chin, lost in thought again.

Xu Chen then continued to try for tens of thousands of years. Although he still couldn't find the pattern, he discovered something very interesting.

He had reached the last intersection hundreds of times on the ten main roads, but his choice at the last intersection was always wrong, and this was the result hundreds of times.

Xu Chen tried to recall the scene more than a dozen times, but still came up empty-handed, even though he knew there must be something wrong with it.

"Do I really have to advance to the Great Venerable level through the Nine Great Paths?!"

"I can not be reconciled!"

Xu Chen, inside the Holy White Space, did a quick calculation and realized that it had taken him 10 years to attempt the path of the Great Dao within the Holy White Space.

"Keep searching, I refuse to believe we can't seize that one sliver of opportunity!"

Xu Chen once again mobilized his own Great Dao power, and began to condense the Great Dao Path on the River of Myriad Daos.

Just as Xu Chen embarked on the path of the Great Dao, he suddenly had a premonition and used the Great Immortal's Words Technique to divine his fate.

"Excellent fortune, though not quite reaching the level of boundless blessings, but if we add the Luck Talisman..." Xu Chen couldn't help but think of the Qi Tian Yun (Great Fortune).

"I wonder how that kid is doing. I'll go check on him after this trip."

Xu Chen arrived at the entrance selection area with ease, and since there was no set pattern, he chose one randomly.

But this time, Xu Chen quickly arrived at the 8th intersection.

"Luck! I've considered it before, but I'll always die at the last intersection."

At the 8th intersection, Xu Chen randomly chose one to enter.

Xu Chen made the wrong choice, and his body exploded into a bloody mist.

Consciousness coalesced in the sacred white space.

"I knew it~" Xu Chen sighed and left the Holy White Space.

After sending a message to Sheng Qing, Xu Chen learned the coordinates of the star sea area that he had brought back to that world.

Outside the Tianyun World in the Daxi Zongxing Sea.

The original Xuanxian-level world has now been upgraded to the Daluo-level world, and it is also one of the most important commodity production areas of the Daxi Sect.

The three types of talismans—Minor Luck Talisman, Major Luck Talisman, and Great Luck Talisman—have brought a wealth of resources to the Daxi Sect over the years.

As soon as Xu Chen arrived, Qi Tianyun appeared outside the world.

"Greetings, Second Elder of the Great Stream Sect!" Qi Tianyun bowed respectfully.

There's no need for such formalities between us.

Xu Chen smiled slightly and finally followed Qi Tianyun to the best restaurant in Tianyun World.

"How has your clan been these past few years?" Xu Chen asked, making small talk.

“Very good. The resources that the sect provides to our alien race are all top-notch. After these years of development, I alone have more than a dozen Great Luo Realm experts.”

"If it weren't for the special nature of our world, the sect would have even offered to allocate us a Great Venerable-level world," Qi Tianyun said gratefully, because Xu Chen had previously instructed that the Great Stream Sect had never neglected the Heavenly Fortune Sect.

Xu Chen talked a lot about the Tianyun Clan, and Qi Tianyun's gratitude grew even stronger.

"I want to know if there's an even better level above 'Hongyun Qitian,' which is the best description of luck."

Hearing Xu Chen's words, Qi Tianyun pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Yes, there is a level above Hongyun Qitian, called Shengyun Gaitian. The moment I met you, it should have been this level of fortune." "Shengyun Gaitian, that's interesting."

"Can you draw this kind of talisman?" Xu Chen asked.

“It can be drawn, but after it is drawn, my clan will disappear into the world, even if time is reversed.” Qi Tianyun looked at Xu Chen with an extremely calm gaze.

"It shouldn't come to this." Xu Chen waved his hand.

"Give me a few of the auspicious talismans you drew."

Qi Tianyun immediately took out five bills and handed them to Xu Chen.

After obtaining the Auspicious Fortune Talisman, Xu Chen left and returned to his cave. He then affixed one to himself and entered the Holy White Space.

As a result, the moment he embarked on the path of great fortune, he suddenly felt the blessing of the Great Luck Talisman disappear.

"Yeah, you're overthinking it. It's impossible anyway. You can only rely on luck."

After walking 72 million steps, Xu Chen arrived at the crossroads and made a choice.

Xu Chen's luck was average this time; he made the wrong choice after selecting three intersections, and his body turned into a blood mist.

Xu Chen's consciousness coalesced in the Holy White Space.

After condensing his thoughts, Xu Chen sat cross-legged and silently reviewed the situation, but still gained nothing.

"Ah~"

Xu Chen sighed as he exited the Holy White Space, only then realizing that the pent-up frustration in his heart was almost overflowing, and if it were to erupt, he might very well fall into a state of demonic possession.

"I don't want to think about advancing to the Great Venerable Realm for now."

As Xu Chen spoke, he took a step forward, transforming into a cultivator who had just embarked on the path of immortality, and began to wander around the various worlds of the Star Sea Domain from another perspective.

Xu Chen spent thousands of years traversing all the major worlds of the Star Sea Domain, but even then, he felt that the pent-up frustration in his heart had not yet dissipated.

They then traveled to various worlds in the human race's main star sea territory, spending tens of thousands of years exploring worlds they had never been to or seen before.

As someone who had just embarked on the path of immortality, Xu Chen witnessed many scenes of the lower classes of the human race.

Under the rule of the Human Emperor Temple, the lower classes of the human race lived in peace and prosperity. Those with the talent cultivated upwards, while those without talent or whose potential had reached its limit enjoyed their lives, running small businesses to earn capital for their descendants to defy fate.

As Xu Chen traveled through the various worlds of the human race, his cultivation level dropped from the initial stage of the Immortal Path to the Ascension Realm. Just like the Ascension Realm, it slowly declined until it finally reached the Return to Emptiness Realm.

Ride a magical flying boat and cruise through the streets, enjoying the different scenery.

After traveling through tens of thousands of worlds, Xu Chen arrived at a scenic mountaintop.

As he gazed at the rising sun in the distance, the last trace of frustration in Xu Chen's heart slowly dissipated.

Although his frustration had dissipated, Xu Chen continued his journey.

Because he had walked the path of the Great Dao again and again in the Holy White Space for tens of thousands of years, making the wrong choices time and time again, Xu Chen's inner mental strength had dissipated.

Therefore, even though all the pent-up frustration in Xu Chen's heart dissipated this time, he did not continue on the path of the Great Dao.

A ten-zhang-long magical flying boat slowly floated above the sea of ​​clouds, and Xu Chen looked down at the beautiful scenery of the land below.

"Fellow Daoist, how about a ride along the way?"

An elderly man with white hair landed on Xu Chen's flying boat in a very familiar manner.

Xu Chen, who was admiring the beautiful scenery, only glanced back at the old man and discovered that he was a powerful expert at the Great Luo Realm who had concealed his cultivation.

"Senior, next time you lower your cultivation level, don't appear dressed like this."

“Currently, our human race does not have a Void Returning Realm expert as old as you.”

“Right now, the old man in the Spirit Field is acting like a cultivator at the Nourishing Spirit Realm,” Xu Chen said in a low voice.

"Is that so? Then I'll raise it a little."

The old man's body shimmered with spiritual energy, and his cultivation level had risen to the Nourishing Spirit realm.

"Thank you for the reminder, young friend," the old man said somewhat awkwardly.

"Let's leave it at that," Xu Chen said calmly.

He doesn't want to talk to anyone right now; he just wants to keep traveling like this.

After the old man rode with Xu Chen for a while, he left.

Xu Chen parked the treasure boat outside a town, put it away, went inside, and found a restaurant with a unique character.

Eleven specialty dishes—in the past, Xu Chen wouldn't have even glanced at them, but now that his cultivation level has been lowered, he's enjoying them immensely.

After enjoying the local specialties, Xu Chen found a hotel in the town and checked in.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Chen had been traveling among humans for 10 years.

Over the course of 100,000 years, Xu Chen has traveled to almost every major world of the human race.

After fully gathering that mental energy, Xu Chen returned to the Great Stream Sect Master World.

"Continue! I refuse to believe we won't find the pattern in the end!" Xu Chen's gaze was deep as he reopened the Path of the Great Dao within the Holy White Space.

After another hundred thousand years of exploration, aside from the inevitable wrong choice at the last crossroads, Xu Chenyi's teachings yielded no other results.

"Do I really have to advance to the Great Venerable level through the Nine Great Paths? How can that be worth all the hardships I've endured along the way?" The Great Stream Sect Master, standing atop the highest peak of the world, was actually gazing silently at the starry sky.

"Great Immortal's Words, Reverse!" Xu Chen formed hand seals, attempting to use the Great Immortal's Technique to manipulate the Great Dao of Time.

This was one of the methods he came up with: to explore the future through the Great Way of Time and see if there was a solution.

However, Xu Chen underestimated the Great Dao of Time and overestimated the Great Immortal's Words Technique. With his peak Great Luo Realm cultivation, he was simply unable to influence the Great Dao of Time.

Xu Chen showed no sign of defeat after the failure; he had expected it.

"Continue! I refuse to believe that there isn't a single chance of survival on more than ten major paths!"

Xu Chen's consciousness re-entered the Holy White Space.

With the path to enlightenment opened, Xu Chen quickly arrived at the entrance selection area.

At this moment, Xu Chen sat quietly at the intersection, making no choice, slowly observing at this three-way intersection.

A thousand years have passed, and the three forks in the road remain unchanged, while the main road behind Xu Chen is dissipating.

"Is it because it's been a long time?"

Xu Chen ignored it and continued to observe the three forks in the road, trying to find a feeling that was different from usual.

Just as the path to the Great Dao shrank to Xu Chen's feet, an inexplicable force randomly pushed Xu Chen toward an intersection.

After Xu Chen reached the end of the intersection, his figure suddenly turned into a blood mist and exploded.

"Interesting!" Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly after his recovery.

The Path of the Great Dao has been reopened, and the process is the same as before: wait at the intersection until the Path of the Great Dao dissipates.

Another thousand years passed. When the path of the Great Dao dissipated beneath Xu Chen's feet, he was once again pushed into an entrance by the force.

The force pushing him wasn't strong; with a little resistance, Xu Chen could easily enter through another entrance.

However, for the sake of testing, Xu Chen did not resist and followed the force into one of the intersections. This intersection was also a wrong entrance. After reaching the end, Xu Chen's body exploded and turned into nothingness.

"continue!"

Over the next 100,000 years, Xu Chen tested the power a thousand times, and each time, that power inevitably pushed him down the wrong path. (End of Chapter)
