The liver is a late bloomer!

Xu Chen handed in 10,000 Netherworld Luoshui Pills to the Dark Dao Network and naturally gained the qualification to enter the Dark Dao Network.

It was still a familiar hall, only this time the entire hall was dark.

A faint, almost imperceptible whisper of a departed soul echoed through the hall.

Sensing this, Xu Chen frowned slightly, formed a hand seal, and a projection of a holy sun appeared in the hall.

Just as Xu Chen was trying to experience the differences of the Dark Dao Network, a girl from the Yushen Clan dressed in extremely revealing clothing appeared in the main hall.

"Master, I am your spirit in the Dark Path Network. Please feel free to give any orders." The girl from the Divine Race knelt down and bowed.

"I'd like to purchase some of the Thundercloud Clan's supernatural abilities. I wonder where I can buy them?" Xu Chen asked.

The girl from the Divine Race waved her hand and released a light screen, which was filled with the immortal divine abilities of the Thundercloud Race, and even some Great Dao divine abilities. Each divine ability was marked with a price.

"Even tens of thousands of catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals are not expensive for Immortal Dao Divine Powers." Xu Chen stroked his chin and nodded, tapping the armrest of the main seat with his other hand.

"Do they possess the divine abilities of the Divine Race?"

"Yes, but if a non-Yushen race, after mastering the skills, remains unharmed within the Dark Dao Network, but once they leave and appear within the territory of the Yushen race, even if they only know the supernatural abilities, they will be detected by the Heavenly Dao of the Yushen race."

"Please think carefully before purchasing, Master," the girl from the Divine Realm said, looking at Xu Chen.

"In that case."

Xu Chen looked at the light screen of the Thundercloud Clan's divine abilities and bought two of the Thundercloud Clan's top-tier sword immortal divine abilities. As for why he didn't buy more, it was because these two alone had used up all of Xu Chen's remaining Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

As the Dao Origin Immortal Crystal that Xu Chen manifested in the Dao Net disappeared, two jade slips of divine abilities appeared in front of Xu Chen.

"Take me to the biggest gambling arena."

"Yes, my master."

A black portal appeared in front of Xu Chen, who stepped into it.

Upon exiting the black portal, one could see hundreds of battle worlds floating in the sky, each the size of a mystical immortal world.

Judging from the light curtains shining through the outside of these battle worlds, almost everything is in battle.

Below the battle world is a vast plaza paved with black crystals, but it is teeming with numerous alien creatures.

Each of them held their betting tickets for the battle, their eyes burning with excitement as they watched the scenes in the battle world.

Xu Chen looked up at the battle world closest to him, where two Golden Immortal Realm experts were fighting.

The entire world became their battlefield, a scene of frenzied slaughter. Some divine abilities that were considered taboo by the Divine Race were displayed to their fullest extent by the two Golden Immortal Realm experts.

The two Golden Immortals were extremely frenzied, burning their original Golden Immortal power and manipulating the Great Dao Laws they had cultivated, using all their supernatural abilities, just to kill the Golden Immortal opposite them.

"That's a bit crazy, I wonder what the odds are."

After purchasing the two supernatural abilities, Xu Chen still had 3 jin of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals on him.

"Fellow Daoist, is this your first time here, unfamiliar face?"

"Would you like me to introduce it to you?"

A member of the Divine Race at the Great Luo Realm approached Xu Chen, speaking in an extremely kind tone.

But Xu Chen sensed a strong malice in that kind tone.

"No need, thank you for your concern, senior." Xu Chen said, walking towards the nearest convenient teleportation portal, ready to check out the other battle worlds.

"Fellow Daoist, are you not leaving? Meeting is fate. Since we're here, let's gamble a couple of rounds, it's on me."

A spatial artifact flew towards Xu Chen, who waved it back.

"Senior, we'll meet again someday." Xu Chen said as he stepped through the convenient teleportation portal and was transported to another battle world area.

In another battle world, Xu Chen arrived at an open-air teahouse, where he sipped tea while watching the two Xuanxian Realm Divine Race members fight.

"None of them are weak~"

“These treasures, with one or even two lamps lit, would never be abandoned in a life-or-death battle by other races.”

"By the time they reached the Divine Race, they've almost become consumables."

The two Xuanxian Realm Divine Race members in the battle world that Xu Chen was watching were both geniuses who had reached the pinnacle of their cultivation.

Although he wasn't considered a threat in Xu Chen's eyes, he would definitely be considered a top-tier member of the major clans in the former main world.

"The God Clan is too powerful, so powerful that they have no enemies at all."

A voice came from the table next to Xu Chen, and an old man from the Wood Immortal Clan with green leaves growing on his body looked at Xu Chen.

"So they're wasting the clan's most talented members in places like this," Xu Chen replied.

"That's part of the reason." The old man from the Namu Immortal Clan picked up his teacup and came to Xu Chen's table.

“We’re not familiar with the seniors around us,” Xu Chen said casually.

The old man from the Wood Immortal Clan in front of them was a powerful expert at the Great Luo Realm.

"We'll get to know each other after chatting for a while. I sense a vast life force emanating from you, which makes me feel a sense of familiarity," the old man said with a smile.

Xu Chen sipped his tea in silence.

"Is this your first time here, young friend? I've lived here for many years and am very familiar with the Yu Shen Clan and other alien races here." Xu Chen remained silent, but the old man from the Mu Xian Clan spoke first.

"The reason I came here is twofold: first, to break through my cultivation realm; and second, to obtain the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal."

"I think you are the second type, young friend. I wonder if you want to rely on your insight or your own strength."

“By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am a peach tree. You can call me Spring Peach,” Spring Peach said very seriously.

Upon hearing this name, Xu Chen almost lost control of his expression.

"Is this name strange?" Chun Tao asked, noticing Xu Chen's odd expression.

"In our clan, those who bear the name 'Spring Peach' are all lovely and pretty girls. I never imagined that this name would be bestowed upon an elder like you." Xu Chen was unaware of the Zhemu Immortal Clan's purpose, so he spoke cautiously.

"A cute and pretty girl, interesting. Then I'll use my other name, Mu Chunlei." Mu Chunlei said to Xu Chen with a smile.

"My name is Qian Ruhai. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future," Xu Chen said.

"Ru Hai~ I have a good eye for people. I have no ill intentions in talking to you. I just want to earn more Dao Origin Immortal Crystals from you."

Just then, the ultimate victor of that battle world appeared.

In the Xuanxian realm, a god held the enemy's head high in the air, roaring wildly with an extremely crazed expression.

"How many Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals can he earn in this match?" Xu Chen interrupted Mu Chunlei directly.

"Including the commission and the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals that the other side bets on, this match is worth about 130,000 jin."

"He's quite the veteran in this gambling world, having won ten consecutive matches. He's almost collected enough Dao Origin Immortal Crystals to go to the Myriad Dao Sacred Hall. Once he reaches the Golden Immortal realm there, he can also acquire a decent set of acquired spiritual treasures."

Hearing that this battle yielded 130,000 catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, and that this was only at the Profound Immortal Realm...

As Mu Chunlei spoke, he took out the gambling ticket in his hand.

As soon as the betting ticket appeared, it burned in the void and finally transformed into a spatial treasure chest, which fell into Mu Chunlei's hands.

"Today we've made another 10,000 jin of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals," Mu Chunlei said with considerable pride.

"It seems the person ahead has exceptional insight," Xu Chen said leisurely.

At this moment, two more Golden Immortal realm experts appeared in the battle world, both shrouded in mist and each emanating their own aura. Mu Chunlei, who was about to continue his conversation with Xu Chen, began to take a serious look, carefully sensing the auras of the two Golden Immortal realm experts in the battle world.

Xu Chen didn't disturb them and also began to experience it.

"Unpredictable, don't place heavy bets, just a small gamble." Mu Chunlei took out 1000 jin of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals and muttered incantations.

The Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal disappeared, and a gambling ticket appeared in Mu Chunlei's hand.

Xu Chen sensed the auras of the two Golden Immortal Realm experts and keenly detected something different between them. So, he immediately took out 10,000 catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals to place a bet.

"I'll also gamble a little," Xu Chen said with a slight smile.

At this moment, many members of the Divine Race and other races around the square also began to place their bets.

Xu Chen looked at the betting slip in his hand. The ratio of his bet to that Golden Immortal Realm expert was 1:1.2.

If the Golden Immortal he had bet on could win, he would gain 12,000 catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

"Like the sea, the path of gambling is as vast as the ocean. If you are new to this field and act rashly, you will suffer losses." Mu Chunlei calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip of his immortal tea.

Meanwhile, the battle in the world above has already begun.

Xu Chen, who had placed his bet, began to watch.

They used every means at their disposal in battle.

The battle between the Golden Immortals lasted only four hours before a decisive victory was decided.

Xu Chen stared blankly at the betting ticket in his hand; he had actually lost.

The aura between the two clearly indicated that this side had the advantage.

"Observe more. In this dark arena, it's not that having an advantage guarantees victory. Even a Saint Venerable Realm expert can sometimes misjudge the combat power unleashed by burning one's life force."

"We have earned enough Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals today."

"Please have a cup of tea."

A short while later, the waiter at the open-air tea stall placed a pot of fine tea next to the two of them.

"Ru Hai, if you're going to participate in the battle, let me know in advance. I want to bet on you to win," Mu Chunlei said with a smile.

"Senior, are you so sure I can win?"

"Although my old eyes sometimes make small mistakes, they are always very accurate when it comes to important matters."

Mu Chunlei took out a black crystal card and handed it to Xu Chen. This was a unique communication method within the Dark Dao Network.

"Alright, I'll call you in advance when I'm about to fight." Xu Chen nodded.

A spatial force enveloped Mu Chunlei and then disappeared.

Only a betting ticket was left in mid-air.

The betting ticket burned and transformed into a small spatial treasure chest, which landed on the table, while Xu Chen's betting ticket was burned to ashes.

Xu Chen took the box, opened it, and found that it contained 1,900 catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

"interesting."

Xu Chen naturally accepted the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal from the treasure chest.

For the next ten days, Xu Chen observed the gambling arena of the Dark Dao Network.

It was discovered that the vast majority of battles in the arena were between Xuanxian and Jinxian realms, with the occasional Daluo realm player.

Coincidentally, one of these incidents occurred during the ten days that Xu Chen was observing, which he found extremely entertaining.

The brilliance emanating from the collision of the Great Daos gave Xu Chen a small insight.

During these ten days, Xu Chen also took the opportunity to learn the basics of the two Thundercloud Clan's supernatural abilities.

In the temporary cave dwelling, the Holy White Space, inside the room of the Seven Lives Sword Divine Power.

Xu Chen looked calmly at the divine clone that he had suppressed to the point of almost being unable to stand.

"Why wasn't it the big boss this time?"

Compared to other supernatural clones, Xu Chen felt that the one in front of him was only so-so in strength and also lacked sentience.

Xu Chen stretched out his hand and slowly pressed down, and in an instant, his divine clone turned into a blood mist and exploded.

Inside the Holy White Space, Xu Chen rapidly absorbed the insights gained from the Seven Lives Sword Technique.

"It's a bit inferior to the immortal supernatural powers of the human race, but it's barely enough."

After digesting his insights into supernatural powers, Xu Chen pushed open another gate to supernatural powers.

In the Dark Dao Network's gambling arena, Xu Chen immediately signed up for a duel upon entering.

To collect the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, Xu Chen used all the salaries from his Divine Tree Academy clone over the years, totaling 600,000 catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

In a special secret realm, Xu Chen looked at the head of the Divine Clan in the gambling arena and took out 600,000 catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals to bet all his winnings on himself.

"If you're just participating in betting battles and getting a share of the profits, we'll match you with opponents at different levels."

“If you were to use so many Dao Origin Immortal Crystals yourself, your opponent might be stronger,” said the leader of the Divine Clan.

"Keep placing bets, even if you're stronger," Xu Chen nodded.

"Alright, let me explain first. In a Golden Immortal Realm duel, one can usually get 1 to 3 catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

"Judging from the large bet you've placed, you're probably not here to earn a share."

"Since you've made your decision, go rest over there. When it's your turn to go on stage, spatial power will take you there." The supervisor pointed to the teleportation portal to the side.

"Understood." Xu Chen nodded and stepped into the portal.

Xu Chen arrived at a large hall, which was full of contestants waiting to be summoned.

He sat in a seat waiting, thinking about his plans.

"When the battle begins, you must make the most of your acting skills."

With Xu Chen's years of combat experience, coupled with the two sword techniques of the Thundercloud Clan, he was confident that he could deal with more than 90% of Golden Immortal Realm experts.

However, Xu Chen didn't want to show off his strength too much, so he decided to switch to "Best Actor" mode.

To this end, he even used the Great Immortal's Words technique to seal his own combat power and all his supernatural abilities except for those two.

The entire hall was filled with over a thousand Golden Immortal Realm experts, each possessing extraordinary strength, who were preparing to participate in the gambling battle.

Every so often, the power of space would snatch away two Golden Immortal Realm experts from the hall.

Xu Chen waited in the hall for nine hours when suddenly a spatial force enveloped him.

Xu Chen appears in a battle world filled with ruins.

"Please release your aura, or you can choose not to, as this might affect the gamblers' betting and thus the profit sharing." A voice rang in Xu Chen's ear.

Xu Chen controlled his aura and slowly released it.

Gamblers from outside sensed Xu Chen's presence and began placing bets.

This segment lasted only a quarter of an hour before Xu Chen saw his opponent. (End of Chapter)
