The liver is a late bloomer!

The Purple Jade Saint Venerable looked at the woman who had once been like an ant in his eyes, now holding his hand.

The Purple Jade Saint Venerable dared not act rashly in the slightest, revealing a polite yet somewhat embarrassed expression.

Xu Chen looked at Su Yueyao, who was beaming with excitement, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"The Purple Jade Saint Venerable is to be reborn as a human. Yueyao, you can advise him to find a good family."

"Husband, you can rest assured and leave it to me." Su Yueyao nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xu Chen ordered a full dragon banquet.

After the family finished eating, Xu Chen suddenly had a whim and went to find Zhong Wuyou with Yang Wanshan.

Within the secret realm of the Great Dao Origin, Zhong Wuyou was fishing by a stream, his expression leisurely yet tinged with a hint of heaviness.

The void rippled not far away, and Xu Chen and Yang Wanshan stepped out.

Sensing the presence of the two, Zhong Wuyou looked at his two obedient disciples with a mixture of excitement and complexity.

"Master~" the two greeted.

"Get up. We've been master and disciple for so many years, there's no need for such formalities."

When the two of them came together, Xu Chen asked.

"Where is Master's wife?"

"I've gone out to explore the starry seas," Zhong Wuyou said, a hint of longing on his face.

"Didn't Master go with you?" Yang Wanshan asked curiously.

"We had a fight; it was still because we disagreed on our values."

"Your master's wife has always wanted to advance to the Saint Venerable Realm through her own efforts, but with her aptitude, it's too difficult."

"At that time, I advised her to stay in the human race and cultivate. Now the human race's great fortune is growing stronger and stronger. In the future, the two of us will definitely be able to advance to the Saint Venerable realm."

"As soon as I said that, she got angry and scolded me again for being unambitious, so she went off to travel the Star Sea." Zhong Wuyou said with a sigh.

"Didn't Master go after them?" Xu Chen felt that it was the hardest for two people with different views to be together.

"Of course I chased after her, but you know, my Great Venerable Realm is just a facade, how could I possibly catch up with your master's wife?"

"Since you're here today, I recently caught some spiritual essences of heaven and earth condensed from the origin of the Great Dao. They taste incredibly delicious."

"I'll cook a feast for you all today."

Zhong Wuyou settled the two by the lake, and soon prepared a whole fish feast.

The three of them sat by the lake, and Zhong Wuyou opened another jar of wine.

"Master is worried about Master's wife." Xu Chen asked, looking at Zhong Wuyou's expression.

"How can I not worry? A Grand Venerable Realm expert traveling through the Star Sea is ultimately a bit weak and easily targeted by those Saint Venerable Realm experts." Zhong Wuyou raised his wine cup and drank with his two disciples, his face showing some worry.

"In that case, the Great Stream Sect has three innate treasure-level warships. The first innate treasure warship it forged is no longer of much use to the sect."

"Master, you can drive it to find your mistress. You can easily deal with any Saint Venerable level experts you encounter on the way."

Xu Chen was referring to the first version of the Innate Treasure Warship that Da Xu had refined. On the warship, there were only a few hundred ordinary Great Dao Law cannons.

"How could I possibly accept that..." Zhong Wuyou said, sounding somewhat tempted.

Xu Chen and Yang Wanshan exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning.

After finishing the whole fish feast, Xu Chen and Yang Wanshan immediately took Zhong Wuyou to the Great Stream Sect Master's World.

"After so many years, the sect has developed to this state."

Zhong Wuyou looked at the Great Stream Sect Master's world with a slightly shocked expression.

At this moment, two colossal warships, each spanning millions of miles and patrolling the entire territory of the Great Stream Sect, flew past not far away.

"You want me to drive this?" Zhong Wuyou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"These two ships are stationed in the territory of the Great Stream Sect. Master, it's too wasteful for you to send them out."

A colossal, innate treasure warship, spanning 100,000 li, flew in from the Great Stream Sect Master's world.

"This one……"

"It can be considered magnificent..."

The innate treasure warship flew to a distance from the three people, and 200 Grand Venerable level puppets flew out from the warship, each puppet exuding an aura that could crush Zhong Wuyou.

"When Master goes, take these Grand Venerable level puppets with you. They can handle some miscellaneous matters along the way."

"If you encounter a Saint Venerable Realm expert, don't hesitate, immediately unleash the full firepower of all the Great Dao Cannons on the Innate Treasure-level warships," Xu Chen instructed.

"Okay, okay~"

Zhong Wuyou looked at the 200 Grand Venerable level puppets and the giant cannons of the Great Dao Law on the warship and nodded happily.

Xu Chen took out a causal innate spiritual treasure and, based on the causal relationship within Zhong Wuyou, located the position of Xuan Guang Dazun.

"Master, take this. You can find your mistress by following the cause and effect information on it." Xu Chen had prepared everything he could.

"There are some everyday items inside, Master, you can have them on your journey." Yang Wanshan took out a spatial innate spiritual treasure and handed it to Zhong Wuyou.

"You tell me, what merit or ability do I, Zhong, have to take you two as apprentices, and I haven't taught you much at all?"

"It has brought me glory and allowed me to possess things I never dared to dream of before." As Zhong Wuyou spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. If it weren't for his two disciples, with his former barely Golden Immortal realm, he might have already perished.

"Master, please wipe away your tears. Save them for your wife."

Xu Chen looked at his cheap master. He couldn't say that his master had shown him kindness, and it would be a stretch to say that he had taught him. His master's greatest contribution was probably what he had learned when he became his disciple.

But it was this little bit of knowledge, along with the cheap master's extremely clear self-awareness, that made Xu Chen acknowledge this master from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Wanshan, standing to the side, had a smile on his face.

"Then I'll be leaving."

The innate treasure warship entered the void and departed.

The two parted ways at the border of Daxi Zong.

"Master is gone, it's time for me to get down to business." Xu Chen looked at Yang Wanshan.

“Junior brother, the power that permeated the battlefield on the Great Dao has dissipated, and now even a Great Venerable can easily enter the core area.” Yang Wanshan took out a jade slip and handed it to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen took it and examined it carefully, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Okay~"

"Then I'll go and take a look at other places."

A spatial portal unfolded not far away.

"Then I wish you a smooth path to enlightenment, Junior Brother~" Yang Wanshan waved goodbye to Xu Chen.

Upon returning to the Myriad Paths Cup Star Sea Region, Xu Chen immediately sensed a tense atmosphere permeating the human race area.

After releasing his aura, Xu Chen received a message from Wuhen.

Inside a temple, fellow disciples, both acquaintances and strangers, sat on either side of the temple, while Wuhen sat regally in the main seat.

As soon as Xu Chen entered, before he could even greet Wuhen, he was seated next to Qianyi.

"You've arrived~" Wuhen's stern expression relaxed slightly when he saw Xu Chen.

"Which race are we going to fight?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.

"The Myriad Dao Monument brought in a holy clan from beyond our territory. There are six invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts in total, and the territory they were assigned to is not far from our human race."

"How many can Master handle?" Xu Chen realized the seriousness of the situation.

"I can hold off at most three." Wuhen's expression turned serious again. "Is there an alliance?"

"No, everyone's just waiting to see what happens."

"I can mobilize two innate treasure warships to help my master guard the human race's territory. The two warships have eight thousand innate spiritual treasure level Great Dao cannons and twelve innate supreme treasure level Great Dao cannons."

"If they dare to launch a full-scale invasion of human territory, they can at least severely injure two invincible Saint Venerable Realm experts in the first wave," Xu Chen quickly calculated in his mind.

As Xu Chen spoke, the many fellow disciples in the temple looked at him with surprise and delight.

"In that case, as long as I go all out and kill one of them, the situation will at least be balanced defensively." Wuhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, does the Myriad Dao Stele permit such a war of annihilation?" Xu Chen asked.

"Permission is granted, but each race has only one opportunity per hundred million years to allow an attack to set foot on its territory."

"The major battles in this Star Sea region are all fought in Star Sea areas without regional affiliation."

“After the attacked side retaliates, it can invade the other side’s territory,” Qianyi explained from the side.

"So, that holy race used their only chance on us." Xu Chen stroked his chin.

"According to intelligence from the Xuanxue Clan, they do indeed intend to do so, and now is the time to discuss how to deal with it."

"Xu Chen, you came just in time." Qian Yi looked at Xu Chen gratefully.

"That's only right." Xu Chen nodded slightly.

Xu Chen mobilized the two innate treasure warships from the territory of the Great Stream Sect.

When the person from the middle saw the aura emanating from the two colossal, thousand-mile-long innate treasure warships, Wuhen revealed a smile.

"It's a pity you're still only at the Great Venerable Realm."

“If it’s a Saint Venerable Realm expert, I can support you in the formation, allowing you to slay an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert within the formation.” Wuhen looked at Xu Chen with a somewhat regretful expression.

"Although I am not yet a match for an invincible Saint Venerable, I can easily defeat ordinary Saint Venerable level experts."

"If the Xuanxue Clan invades the human race, and if we can hold them off, we might be able to launch a counterattack." As Xu Chen spoke, a hint of fighting spirit rose in his heart.

"Based on the situation over this period of time, the Xuanxue Clan has now identified sixteen innate treasures."

“If we can launch a counterattack against the Xuanxue Clan, you can take 50% of the spoils,” Wuhen said.

"Fifty percent is too much. The battle should be mainly handled by Master. It's enough for me to take twenty percent."

Xu Chen wasn't too concerned about the spoils of war; what mattered to him was that once the battle began, he could have a good, satisfying fight.

"Six invincible Saint Venerables and thirty-eight Saint Venerable experts."

"With your combat strength, my disciple, you can take care of all these Saint Venerable Realm experts in the midst of the battlefield. You can keep this 50% of the spoils and use it to develop the human race behind you."

"If one day a powerful figure from the human race appears on the Great Dao, perhaps he will remember our past kindness and save our human race."

As Wuhen spoke, he looked into the depths of the Star Sea.

"This place is good, and it has abundant resources, but it is still a cage after all."

"No matter how much you grow within this cage, in the end you'll still be someone else's resources."

“If it’s to secure this territory for the human race, I would even let you take all the spoils of war.”

Wuhen looked into the depths of the Star Sea with a strange sadness in his expression.

"Master, do you believe me?" Xu Chen suddenly asked solemnly.

"Letter~"

"Then wait for me, Master!"

Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, Wuhen suddenly smiled.

"I've been waiting for you all along~"

"From the moment I saw you in that mysterious space, I've been waiting for you~"

"Back then, your supernatural abilities were mixed and your swordsmanship was clumsy, but under the power of that space, I witnessed your limitless growth and felt more and more that you were the one I had been waiting for."

Without a trace, he waved his hand, releasing a beam of light.

The scene depicted in the light and shadow is Xu Chen's first entry into the Three Thousand Blade Realm room.

Looking at his naive self from that time, Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't expect my master to still remember that scene."

"Of course~"

Just then, Wuhen received a message.

"Get ready~"

A terrifying sword intent emanated from Wuhen, and two innate supreme treasure battle swords, tempered to the extreme by this sword intent, appeared before him.

Then a third battle sword appeared behind Wuhen, slung across his back.

Of the three innate supreme treasure battle swords, Xu Chen had only seen the one on his back.

"An invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert from the Xuanxue Clan has left their territory. I'll go and kill him; the battles afterward will be much easier."

As Wuhen spoke, his figure changed, and the black and white robe transformed into a black outfit. A dark black hat appeared in his hand and he put it on his head.

A profound and mysterious sword intent emanated from Wuhen's body.

"Master, your outfit..." Xu Chen felt as if he were seeing a swordsman from a martial arts movie.

"Back then, the human realm was in chaos with hundreds of kingdoms fighting each other. At that time, I was the number one sword cultivator in the Li Kingdom."

"I was dressed like this when I made a name for myself in that one strike that made me famous throughout the human race."

"I got used to it later. Whenever it came to a life-or-death moment and we had to fight with all our might, I got used to doing it this way."

Beneath the dark bamboo hat, his eyes, seemingly unmarked, gleamed with an inexplicable chill.

A blade of light silently slashed through the void, cleaving open a spatial tunnel.

"After I've dealt with that invincible Saint, let's prepare for battle!"

After Wuhen finished speaking, he transformed into a blade of light and flew into the spatial tunnel.

"The fight has begun!"

Xu Chen quickly opened the portal and communicated with Da Xu.

"I'm about to go to war with the Holy Race. Do you have any innate treasures that you can use right away?" Xu Chen asked.

"Have!"

"This is the Hall of Reincarnation. As long as you put the corpses inside, friendly forces will be resurrected, and enemies will become your fighting force!"

"And this, the Azure Sky-Slaying Greatsword, is forged from the embryos of eight innate sword treasures. It can be used by those skilled in swordsmanship."

"Those who are not skilled in swordsmanship can become sword-wielding slaves, and can unleash the power of top-tier Saint Venerable realm experts."

"And this, the Five-Colored Divine Light Tower, is made from fifteen embryos of the Five Elements Innate Treasures. Even an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert would be seriously injured if he is not careful."

"And this, the Supreme God Armor, can allow anyone, whether they are at the Great Venerable Realm or the Great Luo Realm, to unleash the power of a Saint Venerable Realm expert as long as they wear it."

"When worn by a Saint Venerable Realm expert, it can unleash the full power of a Saint Venerable Realm expert at their peak."

Four enormous innate treasures appeared before Xu Chen, each one measuring tens of thousands of feet in size.

"Goodness, all those years of hard work haven't been in vain!"

Xu Chen donned the Supreme God Armor, wielded the Greatsword of Sky Slayer, and had the Five-Colored Reincarnation Tower weighed down on his left shoulder, while the Reincarnation Temple was suppressed on his right. (End of Chapter)
