The liver is a late bloomer!

"As expected, without the Source Heart Dojo, my cultivation speed has returned to its original level."

Thinking of this, Xu Chen nodded slightly.

"The Yuanxin Dojo was taken away by that person, and we don't know when it will be returned. There's not much we can do but wait," Xu Chen said leisurely.

"Father, when do you plan to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable realm?"

The aura that Xu Chen exuded the moment he stepped into the human realm caused almost all of the human race's top experts to tremble. Although he was only at the Saint Venerable Realm, he could annihilate all the human race's experts in the blink of an eye.

"After the pent-up emotions in my body dissipate, I will advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable level."

As Xu Chen spoke, he sensed Xu Daojing's presence.

"You have worked very hard for the human race during the years I was away."

By combining fate, cause and effect, and time, Xu Chen was able to instantly sense Xu Daojing's experiences during the time he was away.

"After reaching a bottleneck in my cultivation of the Great Dao and being unable to make further progress, I wanted to do something else to help the development of the human race. So, I've been quite busy during my father's absence." Xu Daojing chuckled, feeling that his hard work for the human race over the past hundreds of millions of years had not been in vain.

“In the past, I would have said something to you, but now, your current level has indeed reached the limit of your own talent. If you want to take another step forward, you can only rely on the guidance of the Daoist temple on the Great Dao or the corresponding strong person.”

"Wait patiently until I reach the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, then I will kill that old fellow and build another Daoist temple for the human race." As Xu Chen spoke, the surging killing intent in his heart intensified.

"Father, are you going to use your invincible Saintly realm to kill someone on the Great Dao?" Xu Daojing asked in a trembling voice.

"It's just a fight against someone of a higher level. Although the gap between the two is quite large, I'm still quite confident. You can just wait at home."

The father and son talked for a long time.

On a sea of ​​immortals, Xu Chen accompanied Xu Qiangjia fishing.

"It must be tough being out in the world all by yourself," said Xu Qiangjia, who was fishing, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

His own son was already considered a saint and ancestor among the human race, having advanced to the Saint Venerable level. He thought he had become a top powerhouse in the Star Sea Domain.

Little did he know that there was a divine race. His son had to go to a foreign land to start over, which made Xu Qiangjia think that his son had suffered a lot.

"Fortunately, your son is born with a life of wealth and will never be poor, no matter where he goes."

"As for enduring hardship, that's nothing. When I fight against the border demons, it's mostly a matter of overwhelming power, without any real struggle," Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Father, don't be so tense while I'm gone. Once you reach my level, even the strongest experts on the Great Dao can't kill me."

"You can just relax and enjoy your life among the humans. Once your son gets stronger, you can take your mother to travel around the starry seas without any problem," Xu Chen said leisurely.

"That's what I say, but your father's heart is always with you. It's impossible for me to completely let go."

"Although I know that showing concern is useless, there's nothing I can do," Xu Qiangjia said with a wry smile, holding his fishing rod.

"The strongest known being in the Star Sea Domain is the one above the Great Dao."

"Your son will soon advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm. When that happens, I will kill that old guy from the Primordial Holy Land and place his corpse in front of you, Father. At that time, you can rest assured."

The Sea of ​​Immortals is a vast expanse of shimmering blue waves, where giant whales, some tens of thousands of feet long, occasionally leap out of the water and plunge back into the depths.

Xu Chen and his son Xu Qiangjia chatted for a long time on the boat.

Inside the Human Emperor's Palace in the main human realm.

Xu Chen met with many powerful figures of the human race again and explained the matter of the gods in detail.

"Above the Great Clan is the Holy Clan, and above the Holy Clan is the Divine Clan."

"These three known divine races possess more than one expert above the Great Dao."

"The waters of this star sea are much deeper than we imagined."

Many powerful figures of the human race were filled with emotion.

"What I didn't expect was that the God Race would use a Daoist temple of the level above the Great Dao as a weapon to harvest the Holy Race and the Great Race."

"The role of Yuanxin Dojo is more valuable than I imagined."

"After that person took it away, is there any possibility that they will return it?" the Emperor couldn't help but ask, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

"I'm not quite sure. I'll find an opportunity to ask after I advance to the Great Dao."

"Now, she should be at the border carrying out the mission assigned to her by the will of the Star Sea."

Xu Chen used to think that the end of the Dao was the Great Dao, where one could attain great freedom and ease in the world.

Little did he know that after coming into contact with people of higher levels, he would realize that the kind of carefree and unrestrained life he longed for simply did not exist.

"It's alright if I don't come back. After I advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, I will find a way to refine a Dao Temple of the Great Dao level."

After finishing his meeting with many powerful figures from the human race, Xu Chen sensed that nearly half of his pent-up frustration had dissipated and decided to visit his old friends again.

Inside an exquisitely decorated hall, Qianming, who had already advanced to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, was wandering in the void.

Sensing Xu Chen's presence, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"You're finally back! And you're finally going to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm!" Qianming exclaimed excitedly.

"You haven't changed at all in all these years."

"Did you get anything else out of that brain?" This was one of Xu Chen's main objectives.

"Of course."

"Serve the best tea!" Tianming said, looking towards the inner hall.

Not long after, a woman with an elfin appearance brought over a pot of tea.

"The corpse on that Great Dao is called Longjie. The star sea he controls is close to the so-called boundary. That star sea is extremely vast and has nurtured hundreds of holy races."

Qianming waved his hand gently, and a light screen appeared in the hall, displaying the coordinates of that star sea region.

"That's all~" Xu Chen looked around, having already silently regarded this star sea area as a place for the future development of the human race.

"Also, do you know how he died?" Qianming chuckled mysteriously.

"Infected by the border demons, he wanted to transform into a demon and sacrifice his star sea region to open a passage for stronger demons to enter the star sea region."

"As a result, he was discovered by the will of the Star Sea Domain, which led many powerful figures on the Great Dao to join forces to eliminate him. In the end, his body was placed in that black mist land to nourish that area."

"So it's fortunate that we didn't try to take the whole corpse back then, otherwise, we might have been implicated as well." Qianming made a throat-slitting gesture.

Hearing Qianming's words, Xu Chen felt a pang of regret.

"anything else?"

"The rest concerns the inheritance of some cultivation techniques and secrets concerning the entire Star Sea."

"By the way, don't even think about the things that the gods stored up, as mentioned before. They've probably already confiscated them."

"So all you've learned from this brain region all these years?" Xu Chen's tone was somewhat disappointed.

"This little thing isn't enough? That unclaimed star sea alone is enough for the human race to develop for many years."

"Furthermore, the black mist-covered land nourished by corpses on that Great Dao will surely flourish with abundant Dao essence and resources in the future. Whether it is used as a branch for development or as a place for cultivation, it will be top-tier." Hearing Xu Chen's questioning words, Qianming couldn't help but jump up in frustration.

"Okay, but I always feel like you're hiding something from me." Xu Chen stared ahead with a meaningful look in his eyes.

“I’m about to advance to the Invincible Saintly Crystal. When that happens, my three paths of time, cause and effect, and destiny will be sublimated once again. When you appear before me, you won’t be able to hide anything from me.” Xu Chen picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

“These things are the result of my painstaking efforts over hundreds of millions of years. You should at least let me have something of my own.” Qianming dared not meet Xu Chen’s gaze.

"Why are my own things so entangled with the karma of the human race?"

"Fine, I won't lie to you."

“At the deepest part of the River of Myriad Paths lies the corpse of the True Spirit of the Long Realm. I know a method in my mind that allows my True Spirit to merge with it, and then be reborn. I want to be reborn as a human.”

"It's not that I didn't dare to say it because I was afraid you wouldn't agree." Qianming rubbed his hands together, his tone somewhat conflicted.

"Oh~"

"You must know how dangerous the deepest part of that myriad rivers is. You yourself merged with the true spirit above the Great Dao, ultimately just to advance to the level above the Great Dao."

“In that case, give me this method, and I can make the most of it. Once your 360 Great Daos have been fully sublimated and integrated into your Great Dao Body, I will give you the opportunity to advance to the level above the Great Dao. How about that?” Xu Chen said.

"This is a great opportunity on the path to enlightenment." A conflicted and hesitant look appeared on Tianming's face.

"These are the conditions now, but who knows what will happen in a little while?"

"I give!"

"But you must keep your word and give me the opportunity on the Great Dao." Qianming gritted his teeth and took out a jade slip, handing it to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen quickly scanned the jade slip with his divine sense and learned the location of the true spirit and the method of fusion.

"You're using a shell to advance to the Great Dao. If you really succeed, you'll definitely be stronger than an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert."

"But among the strong on the Great Dao, you are definitely at the very bottom."

"And as you know, once you advance to the Great Dao, the Star Sea Domain's will will assign you tasks."

"Think about it then, whether you can withstand a demon of the same level."

With each word Xu Chen spoke, the resentment on Tianming's face dissipated a little.

"That's right. It's better to wait for me to give you the opportunity to advance to the Great Dao."

Xu Chen sipped his tea, chatted with Qianming for a while, and then returned to the Great Stream Sect's main realm.

"If I had known you would have such an opportunity in the Divine Race, I would have let you take our Great Stream Sect's Holy Venerable to see it, become your Nether Sparrow Army warriors, fight some battles, and then come back." Yang Wanshan couldn't help but sigh with regret when he saw Xu Chen.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, the human race only has so few Saint Venerables. They won't form a coherent system there."

"I'll gather at least ten thousand before taking them to the battlefield." Xu Chen's divine sense enveloped the entire Great Stream Sect's main realm, sensing the changes throughout the Great Stream Sect.

"During your absence, many outstanding children have emerged in the sect. They could have advanced to the Saint Venerable level much earlier, but they all take you as their role model and are working hard to accumulate their own Dao essence. Although they cannot learn your forty-nine Great Daos to sublimate and forge a perfect Great Dao body."

"But they all aspire to at least achieve the thirty-six Great Daos and follow in your footsteps." Yang Wanshan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he thought of those sect prodigies.

"Indeed, with such talent, it's time to hone your foundation. When you advance to the Saint Venerable level, you'll definitely be three points stronger than an ordinary Saint Venerable."

"After my luck dissipates, I will prepare to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm. During this time, I will call all the talented children over and give them a sermon."

"After all, without the Source Heart Dojo, even a Great Venerable Realm cultivator would need hundreds of billions of years to cultivate their Dao Foundation."

"Then I'll go and gather them here now."

Yang Wanshan then sent out several messages.

Before long, hundreds of disciples at the Great Venerable Realm of the Great Stream Sect appeared before Xu Chen.

"Greetings, Grand Elder and Second Grand Elder!"

Hundreds of disciples at the Great Venerable Realm stared at Xu Chen with fervent eyes.

Xu Chen, on the other hand, was sensing the foundation of these disciples' Dao.

"Both are good~" Xu Chen nodded slightly and finally led it into the human race's dream realm.

He preached for a thousand years, covering the path cultivated by those disciples at the Great Venerable Realm.

Inside the cave dwelling of Da Xu and Er Xu, the two who had just returned looked at Xu Chen with excitement.

When Xu Chen returned to the human race, both of them were outside.

"You're finally back. Come and see the treasures I've crafted over the years."

The two Xu brothers led Xu Chen to a special world where tens of thousands of treasures were displayed, each radiating extraordinary power.

“When you were away, the two Xus and I traveled through the Star Sea, searching for stronger innate treasure embryos.”

"But I must say, after traveling for so many years, the most I've encountered are mid-grade innate treasure embryos. I haven't encountered a single high-grade one. Fortunately, some powerful holy clans occasionally have one."

Xu Chen's gaze swept over the surrounding area, taking in the numerous large innate treasures, some of which even surpassed the power of mid-grade treasures.

"By the way, you should know what I'm going to do after I advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm?"

"Are the corresponding innate treasures ready?" Xu Chen looked towards the core of this area, where several powerful treasure auras emanated.

"I've been prepared for this for a long time~"

As he spoke, Da Xu led Xu Chen to the core area.

"The Blade of Time, a top-tier innate treasure, and a complete set of superior innate treasures. Although these are superior, each one is far more powerful than a superior-grade item."

As if sensing Xu Chen's presence, the Blade of Time emitted a buzzing sound.

That set of top-grade innate treasures seemed to submit to the Blade of Time, expressing their respect.

"With this set of innate treasures, we should be able to save a lot of time in the fight against that old man."

The Blade of Time fell into Xu Chen's hands. He gently stroked the blade with two fingers, sensing the immense power of the Great Dao of Time contained within it.

"The two Xus and I found another top-grade Time Dao treasure embryo, and added hundreds of innate treasure embryos to it, creating a Time Dao prison."

"With this cage, it should be able to hold that old man for a while in a critical moment."

A small, distorted cage appeared before Xu Chen, then transformed into a beam of light and merged into his body.

"Very well prepared, excellent!"

Xu Chen absorbed the Time Blade and the suit of armor into his body for nurturing.

"By the way, these are some precious embryos I found among the gods. Take a look and see if you can refine them into something useful."

As Xu Chen spoke, he took out those mid-grade and high-grade innate treasure embryos.

"Give me the Time Cage. I'll add these innate treasure embryos into it, and then my chances of winning the battle will be even greater." (End of Chapter)
