The liver is a late bloomer!

In a garden bursting with blooming flowers, a grand feast of a hundred races unfolded gracefully before Xu Chen.

A river of flowing sand, carrying dishes from various ethnic groups, flowed past Xu Chen.

"Come and have a taste of this jar of my innate treasure, the Spirit Wine."

A strange aroma of wine filled the entire garden, and a cup of pale green wine, exuding the ultimate power of the Great Dao of Life, floated in front of Xu Chen.

"With just one bite, even a creature that has never cultivated can comprehend the Great Dao of Life and advance to the Golden Immortal realm."

Feeling the ultimate power of the Great Dao of Life, Xu Chen drank the wine in one gulp.

A wonderful feeling enveloped Xu Chen's soul.

"Good wine!!" Xu Chen exclaimed excitedly.

"Today, let's drink this entire jar of wine. Consider it my guidance on your path to life." The Lord of Mist sat in the seat of honor, a smile on his face, and had a maid pour him another cup of wine.

As Xu Chen savored the specialties of the various ethnic groups and drank the innate treasure spirit wine, he felt that nothing in the world could be more beautiful than this.

After the wine was finished and the banquet ended, the Lord of the Mist brewed the spiritual tea that Xu Chen had brought.

"Having gained one-tenth of understanding of life, I will remember this kindness." Xu Chen thanked the Lord of the Mist with tea instead of wine.

"Let's make a good connection. I also enjoy good food and spirit wine. When you travel through the star seas in the future, just bring me some good food and wine if you come across any," the Lord of the Mist said leisurely while sipping his spirit tea.

"I will keep this in mind," Xu Chen said solemnly.

After finishing his tea, Xu Chen took his leave and departed from the Misty Holy Land.

Upon arriving in the Myriad Dao Monument Star Sea, Xu Chen was immediately summoned by Wuhen.

"Such a pure life essence, with a faint hint of wine." Wuhen sensed the aura emanating from Xu Chen.

"When I left, a senior gave me a farewell party and presented me with a jar of spiritual wine of the level of a supreme innate treasure of the Great Dao of Life," Xu Chen explained.

"This jar of wine will save you millions of years of arduous cultivation."

"Your people over there have taken care of everything. Now that you're here, focus on your cultivation," Wuhen asked.

"Yes, I plan to study and comprehend the knowledge I have mastered in those unclaimed Dao Steles."

"Furthermore, I wish to use my status as a divine-grade weapon refiner and alchemist to refine innate treasures and divine pills in exchange for guidance from an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert. Could you please trouble Master to publicize this matter?" Xu Chen asked.

"It's fine to promote it, but as you know, the effect it will have is negligible."

"But if you're not afraid of offending those powerful clans, you should be able to get guidance from a few invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts." Wuhen revealed a wicked smile.

"Your disciple is not afraid of being tainted by karma."

"Then I will threaten those races on your behalf. If they don't give you guidance, you will participate in the Myriad Dao Monument Arena every time, leaving no chance for other races."

"This method can only threaten those top-tier holy races." Wuhen thought of the few holy races that had always been hostile to the human race.

"Then I'll trouble you with this matter, Master."

"It's a small thing, and I enjoy doing it."

"The guidance of an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert can at most improve your cultivation by 30%. Now, tell me which of your major cultivation paths are still insufficient." Wuhen looked at his disciple whom he had taken in in this wondrous place and couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of this world.

"I have comprehended 30% of Yin and Yang and the Way of the Sword. The remaining aspects are the Five Elements, Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness, Life, Netherworld, Destiny, Soul, the Way of Blood, Illusion, and the Way of Painting..."

Xu Chen recited the names of all the remaining major paths he planned to cultivate, as if reciting a menu.

"The path you cultivate is truly eclectic..."

"If it weren't for your strange space, I estimate that I would never have encountered a prodigy like you in the entirety of my life."

"The Five Elements of Wind and Thunder are easy to talk about; each has a corresponding invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert."

"As for the rest, I'm confident I can get guidance from an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert in areas like the soul, bloodline, darkness, life, devouring karma, sword, painting, reincarnation, space, destruction, and sealing."

“This will take more than 30 million years to complete,” Wuhen said, looking at Xu Chen with envy.

"You have unlimited resources and many methods at your disposal. If it were an ordinary Grand Venerable Realm expert, being able to receive guidance from one or two Invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts would already be considered a great opportunity in this life."

"It is my honor to know my master," Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Wait for me. Although it's a threat, we can't let you down." Wuhen said, preparing to leave to handle the matter for Xu Chen.

"A beating followed by a sweet treat—I understand this principle."

"Good to know~"

The figure vanished without a trace.

At that moment, Qianyi walked in from outside the temple.

"Junior brother~" Qianyi exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Xu Chen.

"Senior Brother, it's been tens of thousands of years since we last met, but you still look as dashing as ever." Xu Chen bowed to Qian Yi.

"Still as charming as ever, still pitifully weak," Qianyi joked to herself.

"Come, before you comprehend the Great Dao, my fellow disciples and I have prepared a feast for you and introduced you to your fellow disciples."

Xu Chen accepted Qianyi's invitation.

In a secluded and beautiful place, Xu Chen met thirty junior brothers, the weakest being a Great Luo Realm cultivator and the strongest a Saint Venerable Realm cultivator.

Xu Chen received a warm welcome upon his arrival.

The banquet consisted of half traditional dishes and half local snacks from various parts of the human race.

Xu Chen thoroughly enjoyed the banquet.

"Thank you for your hospitality, fellow disciples." "It's our first meeting, so I don't have much to give you. In the future, if any of you have innate spiritual treasure embryos or innate supreme treasure embryos, you can give them to me to refine." Xu Chen said with a smile.

Hearing about this greeting gift, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

It is known that it is easy to find a Saint-grade weapon refiner who can refine innate spiritual treasures, but there is only one Divine-grade weapon refiner among the human race who can refine innate supreme treasures. Moreover, there are some innate supreme treasure embryos that are difficult to reach and cannot be refined.

After the banquet, some of Xu Chen's junior disciples pestered him, wanting to discuss the Dao with him.

Xu Chen immediately agreed, and together with his fellow disciples, they went to a Taoist temple and began to sit down and discuss the Tao.

However, most of the discussions on the principles of warfare focus on weapons, such as swords, spears, and hammers.

Although Xu Chen wasn't particularly skilled in anything other than swordsmanship, after exchanging insights with swordsmanship and engaging in a debate, his other military strategies actually improved.

This debate lasted for 3000 years before it ended.

Only after the discussion ended did Xu Chen belatedly realize the message Wuhen had sent him.

Inside the temple, Wuhen first focused a surging sword intent on Xu Chen, and then began to recount his journey through various places.

"Alright, it's just as I calculated back then."

A jade slip floated in front of Xu Chen.

"Go and search according to these races."

“For every innate treasure you help those holy races refine, you will receive a chance to receive guidance. You will refine it first and then receive guidance. You can go anytime,” Wuhen said.

"Master~" Xu Chen said, somewhat moved.

"Go, advance to the Saint Venerable Realm as soon as possible. I look forward to the day when you can stand up to me." Wuhen looked at Xu Chen with encouraging eyes.

"Then this disciple will go and cultivate."

Xu Chen took his leave.

The first place he visited was the Light Saint Clan. Upon arrival, Xu Chen was immediately summoned by an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert from the Light Saint Clan.

In what seemed like a temple where light was concentrated, the Lord of Light sat on his divine throne, quietly watching Xu Chen.

"These are two innate treasure embryos that I found by chance. You will refine them into innate treasures within my clan. If I am satisfied after you succeed, I will guide you on the path of light and the path of destruction."

A peculiar sound rang in Xu Chen's ears, a sound that seemed to be formed by the friction of light.

Two innate treasures appeared before Xu Chen.

"This junior would like to ask, who uses this innate treasure, and what kind of great Dao supernatural power does it possess?"

Xu Chen's question piqued the interest of the Lord of Light, who sat atop the divine throne.

"It is for the use of two Saint Venerable experts of my clan. I will have someone from my clan take you to ask them later."

"If I can find no fault with the two innate treasures you refine, I will give you additional guidance on the path of destiny."

"This junior will certainly do my best!"

At the insistence of a powerful member of the Light Saint Clan at the Saint Venerable Realm, Xu Chen found two other powerful members of the Light Saint Clan and inquired about the Great Dao Divine Powers they used.

Xu Chen then began refining innate treasures based on the advice of those two powerful figures.

It was said that Xu Chen refined it, but Xu Chen only summoned the two Xus.

"Why don't you call yourself Da Xu?" Er Xu looked at the two innate treasure embryos, but wasn't very interested.

“Da Xu has his own things to do. You’ll only be helping him there anyway, so you might as well come and help me.”

"During this time, you can focus on refining innate treasures here to help me cultivate," Xu Chen said.

“Okay, it doesn’t matter where we work~” Er Xu said leisurely.

Xu Chen then gave the two Xus a list of races.

“When I refine a supreme innate treasure, the invincible saint over there will give me some pointers. You should refine all of these beforehand.” Xu Chen habitually became a hands-off manager.

"Leave it to me, it won't take long anyway."

“Come on, take out the Great Dao Furnace from the Innate Treasure Warship~” Er Xu stretched out his hand to Xu Chen.

Does such a thing exist?

Xu Chen used his divine sense to enter the spiritual treasure space and searched the innate supreme treasure warship. He actually found a Great Dao Furnace.

"Da Xu knew that you might refine some innate treasures while you were out, so he put the Great Dao Furnace in the warship so that either he or I could use it directly after we arrived."

“A supreme innate treasure takes about five hundred years to obtain, but you can wait a thousand years.”

As they spoke, the two Xus got into the zone and began to study the two innate treasure embryos.

"With you two clones around, I've saved a lot of time."

"But you are all without desires, except for Da Xu who likes to refine large magical artifacts, you have no other desires."

"I don't even know how to reward you all."

"If you want to reward us, give us more free time. Da Xu and I want to go to farther places to search for treasures and see if we can find any magical artifacts on the Great Dao."

"Unfortunately, my current cultivation level is too low, so even if the Myriad Dao Stele were right in front of me, I wouldn't be able to study it."

“Main body, you need to hurry up and advance to the Saint Venerable Realm.” Er Xu put down the innate supreme treasure embryo in his hand and picked up another one, as if these were just two small tasks.

"No problem. Once I advance to the Saintly Venerable Realm, humanity will be safe. After unifying the myriad races' main realm, I will leave your memory cells behind and then release you to go forth and realize your great ambitions." (End of Chapter)
