The liver is a late bloomer!

"From now on, this secret realm will be called the Source Heart Dojo."

Xu Chen sensed the aura emanating from the place that made his soul tremble, as well as the Dao essence after all the myriad paths were controlled and merged.

"This is the feeling. With this training ground, I can advance to the Saint Venerable realm within 30 million years."

A spatial force flickered not far from Xu Chen, and Da Xu emerged from it.

"The temple is now complete. Can you tell me if there's anything that needs to be changed?"

"The temple was built perfectly, and the formation controlled the heart on the Great Dao."

“Well done~”

"It's just that you're a little reluctant to embed the formation into this heart and trigger the power of the Great Dao within it."

Upon hearing this, Da Xu gave an awkward laugh.

"From my perception, the power emanating from your heart is more than enough for your cultivation; drawing out any more power would be a waste."

"Once you reach the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, I will try to see if I can refine this heart into a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure."

"You have an idea for the Xuanhuang Treasure!" Xu Chen's expression lit up with joy.

"Of course not, I just have a vague feeling in my heart."

"After you share more insights into refining innate treasures with me, I feel that I can use some clever tricks to refine it into a pseudo-mysterious treasure." Da Xu explained his thoughts.

"Yes, but when you refine it, try to refine it in the direction of the secret realm dojo."

"The number of strong individuals among the human race is still much weaker compared to those of the holy races, and we should strengthen it."

"Don't worry." Da Xu nodded.

"I won't disturb your cultivation, I'll be going now."

A spatial portal unfolded before Da Xu.

"Let's cultivate first and comprehend the remaining dozen or so Great Daos to perfection."

Just as Xu Chen was preparing to cultivate, he suddenly felt a slight tremor within the cause and effect.

"Something's happened to Qianming!" Xu Chen frowned slightly.

A spatial portal appeared in front of Xu Chen, who stepped through it.

Within the territory of the Divine Tree, Xu Chen emerged from the void and was immediately repelled by the Divine Tree.

A powerful spatial force surrounded Xu Chen, attempting to expel him, but it could not penetrate within a hundred miles of him.

"You are not my target."

As Xu Chen spoke, he used the Star Teleportation Technique.

In a mysterious continent, Xu Chen arrived at an elegantly decorated and beautifully landscaped garden.

In the garden, a woman as beautiful as an elf stood beside Senmei, her face showing sorrow.

Sensing Xu Chen's presence, the woman looked over.

“My husband has something to say to you.”

After the woman finished speaking, she got up and left.

At this moment, Qianming Rufan's lifespan was nearing its end, and his face looked pale and as if he would burn out at any moment.

"I knew you'd come!"

Qianming strained to turn her head to look at Xu Chen, as if she had to use all her strength to speak.

Xu Chen patted Qianming's shoulder with one hand, and the power of the Great Dao of Life was activated.

But no matter how much life force entered it, it was all devoured by the unknown curse within Qianming's body.

Xu Chen frowned slightly upon sensing the power of the curse.

"Solve~"

A strange power entered Qianming's body to explore the power of the curse.

It was as if ice water had been poured onto a red-hot iron ball.

"You seem hopeless," Xu Chen said calmly, withdrawing his hand from Qianming's shoulder.

"I can still be saved, you must have a way."

Although it was difficult for him to speak, his tone was extremely firm.

"This is the power of the Great Dao. If you want me to wear it down, the price I will have to pay will be quite high." Xu Chen's tone remained calm.

"Although I used the divine power of the original Dao to cover up the cause and effect, I still suffered a backlash."

"Although the soul of that corpse on the Great Dao has been extinguished, the will of the Great Dao contained within it has not completely dissipated."

"Moreover, I took the most important position, and inadvertently triggered a trace of curse power from the Great Dao."

“I feel like a mortal soul at the end of its life. I know I won’t die, but this feeling still gives me some fear.”

"But beneath that sliver of fear, I seemed to see something more."

With great effort, Qianming reached out, picked up the tea from the table beside him, and took a sip.

"The two great calamities in my life were both related to the power of curses, and both originated from the Great Dao," Qianming said, a nostalgic expression on his face.

"Don't waste too much time on sentimental nonsense; you only have a quarter of an hour left to live."

"What you need to do now is impress me in fifteen minutes."

Xu Chen sat to the side, admiring the scenery in the distance.

“You really have very little affection for races other than humans,” Qianming said with a bitter smile.

"The strong on the Great Dao have hidden treasure troves; if you save me, we'll split the spoils three to seven."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Xu Chen's calm face.

"You see, conversations should focus on the key points."

A time crystal the size of a glass ball appeared in Xu Chen's hand.

Xu Chen used a secret technique to directly transform this crystal into the most primordial power of the Great Dao of Time.

At the same time, the River of Time of a Thousand Lives appeared in the sky.

Seeing this, Qianming breathed a sigh of relief.

The long river of time, spanning millennia, reverses its course, consuming the power of the Great Dao of Time.

Finally, the scene of the reversed river of time appeared before Qianming unleashed his original Dao divine power.

Time, cause and effect, and destiny in the long river of time transform into chaos at this moment. A wisp of power is drawn from the chaos and injected into the body of Qianming.

Qianming, who had originally looked like an old man, began to slowly regain his youth, and his cultivation also began to recover.

His cultivation stopped after reaching the Golden Immortal realm.

"Give me more Time Crystals so I can recover my strength to the Saint Venerable Realm," Qianming said.

"You wish! I usually wouldn't even use a tiny amount, like a sesame seed, and this time I used so much." Xu Chen was genuinely distressed.

"Well, it seems you don't have many time crystals either."

Qianming, who was at the Golden Immortal Realm, took out several divine pills and swallowed them together. Before long, his cultivation level rose to the Great Venerable Realm.

"Alright, now let's talk about the treasure's location."

Xu Chen brewed himself a cup of tea and took a small sip.

"These are the coordinates~"

"Located at the center of the three holy races, each of which is extremely powerful, it is quite difficult to infiltrate."

"So far~" Xu Chen checked the coordinates of this star sea region. Even if he took the shortcut, it would still take tens of millions of years to travel there.

"For those who are powerful on the Great Dao, it is just a matter of a moment."

"I believe that once you reach the Saint Venerable Realm, you should be able to easily infiltrate this treasure trove."

"After you get it, don't forget my 30%." Qianming said, taking out a few more divine pills and swallowing them, silently restoring his strength.

At that moment, the elfin-like woman came over with a pot of tea.

A unique aroma of tea permeated the surrounding space.

"Excellent tea!" Xu Chen sensed it carefully and knew that this tea was a treasure.

"The Azure Origin Tea, even a Saint Venerable Realm expert can increase their Origin by one cup after drinking it," the elven woman said.

Xu Chen and Qian Ming each had a cup of tea.

"You've gone to so much trouble. But for the sake of the tea, I'll let you have the 30% off as scrap." Xu Chen sipped his tea, a slight smile playing on his lips.

I have complete confidence in your character.

“Besides, there’s more than one place where the treasure is hidden.” Qianming smiled like a fox.

"Actually, there aren't many things that catch my eye anymore." Xu Chen finished the rest of the tea in his cup in one gulp, feeling the primal power surging within his body.

"That's because you haven't seen enough. Every single one of these innate treasures has its own extraordinary properties."

"On the contrary, the innate treasure embryo has become the most ordinary existence."

"By the way, those other treasure troves, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but with our current strength, we simply can't get them."

"Those of them all involve the God Race, which is a race with powerful figures above the Great Dao in charge of it."

"The powerful figures on the Great Dao have placed a considerable portion of their treasures in the merchant guilds of these divine races," Qianming said.

"Since you know what I'm interested in, don't keep me in suspense." Xu Chen glanced at Qianming.

"There are three god races: the Hongmeng God Race, the Yuanchu God Race, and the Chaos God Race. There is no detailed information about the powerful beings above the Great Dao, but we know that they are very strong. The powerful beings above the Great Dao are very at ease leaving the items there."

"To retrieve what's inside these gods, I need to explore this mind further. I already have some information, but with just this little bit, and neither of us being at the Invincible Saint Venerable level, going there would be suicide."

Qianming took out a jade slip and placed it in front of Xu Chen.

Xu Chen used his divine sense to examine it, and his expression turned serious.

"This is like a small landlord in the village getting a glimpse of the big city, it's truly..."

“Your description is very apt.” Qianming laughed heartily from the side.

"Alright, I won't say any more to you."

"I'm going back to cultivate. In at most fifty million years, I will be able to advance to the Saint Venerable Realm."

"We'll go and take a look at that precious land then."

Xu Chen glanced into the distance, then formed a hand seal and used the Star Teleportation Technique to leave.

As a burst of stellar spatial power exploded, Xu Chen disappeared before Qian Ming's eyes.

"This Star Teleportation Technique has been modified by this kid, making it several times better than when I first created it."

"If this kid weren't so cold to the alien races, he would truly be a valuable asset." Qianming took a sip of tea, his tone somewhat melancholy.

Inside the Yuanxin Dojo.

Human Emperor, Xuanding Saint Venerable, Baoyun Saint Venerable.

Three human saints who were able to spare the time came to the Source Heart Dojo at Xu Chen's invitation.

Upon arriving at this sacred site, all the human saints lost all composure, their expressions filled with shock as they sensed the aura and Daoist charm permeating the place.

"This is the aura of a powerful being on the Great Dao, and it even carries the essence of the Dao!" Xuan Ding Saint Venerable exclaimed in disbelief.

"Not only that, these Daoist auras are also extremely subtle, calm and gentle."

The Emperor looked at Xu Chen, wanting to confirm his suspicions.

What lies beneath this dojo?

"The heart of a powerful being on the Great Dao."

Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, the three Holy Venerables were even more shocked.

"The heart of a powerful being on the Great Dao!"

"You've handled everything afterward!" The Emperor asked hastily, forgetting his shock.

"It's all been dealt with. The source of the subsequent trouble was on his side, and it has nothing to do with the human race," Xu Chen explained.

"I have imagined countless ways for humanity to rise to power."

"But there is no way that would so easily secure the future dominance of humanity."

The Emperor knew what this temple represented.

"Give me 3 million years, and I can cultivate here to the level of an invincible Saint Venerable!"

The seated Xuan Ding Saint Venerable gently stroked the ground of the Daoist temple, his eyes welling up with tears of joy.

"I need 400 million years~"

The Holy Venerable Baoyun, who had originally reached the end of the Great Dao, was now also in tears.

"This training ground is open to all human experts free of charge," Xu Chen stated his idea.

"It can't be completely free." The Emperor rejected Xu Chen's idea.

"It shouldn't be this simple to give it away for free."

"Then what should we do?" Xu Chen asked.

"Charging admission fees is within the affordability of Grand Venerable and Saint Venerable level experts. If they cannot afford it, they can owe it and pay it back after they become experts."

"Then we can use these resources to cultivate more strong individuals, creating a virtuous cycle."

"Your Daxi Sect lineage is used to a life of wealth and privilege, and you don't understand the hardships that the other branch lineages have to endure to cultivate strong individuals."

"Then let's go with the Emperor's idea." Xu Chen nodded.

Not long after, Sheng Qing and Qingzhu Dazun met at this Daoist temple.

One of them represented the Great Stream Sect, and the other represented the main lineage of the human race.

Not long after, the relevant matters concerning the Yuanxin Dojo were settled.

"100 crystals of the Great Dao Divine Source, available as an interest-free loan, to be repaid slowly over a period of 100 million years." Xu Chen nodded after considering it for a moment.

"With such a sacred place for cultivation, our human race will surely unify the main world of all races in the future."

Even though Sheng Qing was excited, he spoke cautiously. With his Great Venerable Realm cultivation level here, it felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart. The Dao essence of all Daos merging into one seemed to be both tempting and intimidating.

If Sheng Qing didn't focus on cultivating here, he would feel guilty.

"This is just the beginning for our human race."

Since learning about those divine races, Xu Chen's expectations for the human race to unify the main world of all races are not as high as before.

Above the Holy Race are the God Race, and among those God Races, there may be even stronger beings.

After everything settled down, Xu Chen entered his own Yuanxin Dojo to begin his cultivation.

Cultivation knows no time; five million years pass in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chen returned to the Great Stream Sect Master World from the Source Heart Dojo, feeling his somewhat broken heart from years of cultivating under the pressure of the aura above the Great Dao.

"This broken state of mind will recover in tens of thousands of years, so I'll take this time to relax."

In a good mood, Xu Chen ordered a full dragon banquet, inviting his parents, Xu Xiyue, Su Yueyao, his three sons, and a grandson to eat together as a family.

At this time, Xu Qinhu had already grown to the peak of the Saint Venerable Realm, but he always remained respectful in front of Xu Chen.

"You've come out of seclusion at just the right time. Your second son's grandson was just born. This is a wonderful time." Su Yueyao held a chubby one-year-old boy, her smile lingering on her face.

"Have you named him yet?" Xu Chen reached out and picked up the chubby boy, his smile widening.

“If Father feels the name is not good, we can change it,” said Xu Xuanshen, who was standing to the side.

"Saint Shang has gotten a bit of an advantage. Since it's decided, let's go with that name." (End of Chapter)
