The liver is a late bloomer!

"Although the stellar energy of this area is more abundant than that of other places, it is still somewhat weak for the future main realm of a major clan."

Standing in this starry sea, Xu Chen considered the matter and decided to entrust it to Da Xu.

At this moment, Da Xu, who was admiring his masterpiece in the cave, was suddenly grabbed by Xu Chen, and the two Xu were also swept over by a force.

"You two really have been living in your caves for so long that you've forgotten what the world is like!"

"I've already advanced to the Great Venerable Realm, and neither of you felt it?"

Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

“Your advancement to the Great Venerable realm wasn’t a natural progression.” Da Xu glanced around at the surroundings and his eyes lit up when he saw the innate treasure located in the center of the Star Sea.

"I plan to establish the Great Stream Sect Master Realm here, but I'm afraid the surrounding stellar energy will eventually reach its peak and become unsustainable."

"You two need to set up a large array here to draw stellar energy from that spatial rift to fill this space," Xu Chen said, revealing his plan.

“Extracting large amounts of stellar energy from the areas led by the spatial rifts may seem simple, but in reality, it requires numerous Great Dao formations and foundation artifacts. Moreover, a corresponding innate treasure is needed to guard the center of the formation,” Da Xu said, stroking his chin.

"Do you have any suitable ones?" Xu Chen knew that Da Xu had several innate treasure embryos.

There is one that would be acceptable, but you definitely wouldn't want it.

Da Xu retrieved an embryo, a supreme innate treasure.

"It is indeed somewhat lacking."

Looking at Da Xu and Er Xu, Xu Chen waved his hand, and two streams of pure primordial power entered their bodies, accompanied by more than a dozen Great Dao Divine Abilities.

The cultivation levels of Da Xu and Er Xu both rose to the Great Venerable realm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your Dream Dao Realm is still missing a few innate treasures. The completion of this main realm won't happen anytime soon. It's a good opportunity for the two of you to team up again and go out to search for them."

As Xu Chen spoke, he returned the innate treasure warship to Da Xu.

"That's great, it's a good opportunity to go out and take a look." A smile appeared on Da Xu's face.

"With the boost from this Great Venerable Realm, it will be much easier to find the embryo of a Primordial Treasure."

"The Great Stream Sect Star Sea is shrouded by a great array, which can last for tens of millions of years without any problem. In such a long time, we will eventually find a suitable innate treasure embryo."

"At that time, I also successfully refined the Dream Dao Realm, which complemented the entire main continent."

"At that time, our Great Stream Sect's main realm will be the richest place in the star sea region covered by the myriad races' main realms."

Xu Chen nodded slightly from the side.

"Go ahead. You used to need to be more careful, but not anymore. As long as you don't provoke any invincible Saint Venerable level experts, you'll all be fine."

"Then we're leaving~"

The innate treasure warship flew towards the vast spatial turbulence region in the distance.

"Now that this matter is settled, there are some things that need to be addressed!"

Xu Chen activated the teleportation array leading to the Human Race's main realm with his divine sense, and then used it as a springboard to connect to the teleportation array leading to the Myriad Races' main realm.

Outside the Primordial Holy Land, on a certain high peak.

Xu Chen sat quietly on the mountaintop, waiting for Yang Ling'er's master, his eyes filled with the fading of karma and reincarnation.

Not far away, spatial energy flickered, and a Saint Venerable Realm expert descended.

"I didn't expect you to reach the Great Venerable Realm so quickly. I underestimated you!" Master Yang Ling'er looked at Xu Chen, her words devoid of joy or sorrow.

"Now that the two holy lands are entrenched in the main realm of all races, the plans of the holy lands back then now seem to have become an illusion."

"I'm willing to pay a price; could you please return my senior sister to me?"

Xu Chen stared intently at Yang Ling'er's master.

Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, Yang Ling'er's master chuckled.

"I don't blame you for having such a naive idea, thinking that you've advanced to the Great Venerable level and have power comparable to the Saint Venerable."

"The Holy Lord is far-sighted and began his plan countless epochs ago. Do you think that the arrival of the Lord of the Mist alone can break the deadlock?"

"And when you advance to the Great Venerable realm, I won't hide it from you anymore. Your senior sister is the final link on the Great Dao of my Holy Lord. Not to mention you, even the entire human race cannot change the Holy Lord."

"I'll just take your presumptuous words as a joke."

"Go back~" Yang Ling'er's master had just finished speaking when he prepared to disappear.

However, at this moment, the surrounding void had been sealed by Xu Chen.

Yang Ling'er's master was forcibly dragged into the Dream World by Xu Chen.

"Give me back my senior sister's magic, and I ask for nothing more."

"Looks like you still don't understand."

After Yang Ling'er's master finished speaking, he wanted to forcefully break through the Dream World, not wanting to have too much karmic entanglement with Xu Chen.

He had already received a message from the Holy Lord that the person before him carried great karma and great fear, and that he should not get too involved.

"Senior, I'm speaking to you politely out of respect for the fact that you were once Yang Ling'er's master."

The entire Dream World began to gradually strengthen as Xu Chen spoke.

I'm speaking to you politely because I don't want to get entangled with you any further.

Yang Ling'er's master was quite surprised to find that he couldn't break through this dream world.

"In that case, it's offending!"

Xu Chen's body ignited with primordial fire, and a supreme innate treasure, the battle blade, appeared in his hand.

With his other hand, he formed the Dream Path Seal.

"Overestimating oneself."

Yang Ling'er's master snorted coldly, and a great sun slowly rose from behind him, finally turning into a heavy hammer and smashing down on Xu Chen.

"Holy Sun Thousand Kills!"

In an instant, the great sun suddenly exploded, causing the dream world created by Xu Chen to tremble!
A violent burst of divine flame swept towards Xu Chen.

"Is that all the tricks you have, senior?"

Xu Chen wielded his sword and walked amidst the flames, his body radiating endless primordial divine fire. The myriad paths of heaven and earth were modified by Xu Chen in this dream world.

"If you don't hand over Senior Sister Ling'er's true spirit, then don't blame me for putting you into a deep sleep. I can find what I want myself!"

"I command the God-Slaying Source!"

A power that even Yang Ling'er's master feared erupted from Xu Chen's innate treasure.

In that instant, Master Yang Ling'er truly felt a threat of death.

Just then, a giant hand forcibly broke open the Dream World from the outside, protecting Master Yang Ling'er as she withdrew from the Dream World.

"You unlucky brat, don't come to my Primordial Territory!" "Your great karma is only tied to yourself and has nothing to do with the human race."

"If you dare to forcibly enter the territory of my Primordial Holy Land again, be careful, or I will slaughter your human race!"

A voice filled with killing intent rang out from the sky, causing Xu Chen, who was about to make a move, to inexplicably stop.

A violent spatial force swept over Xu Chen, throwing him directly outside the territory of the Primordial Holy Land.

Xu Chen's figure flew out of the void, smashing through mountain ranges before finally landing on a mountain wall.

"We need to plan this carefully before we can save our senior sister," Xu Chen said earnestly, stuck in the mountainside.

"Hey~"

Xu Chen's figure vanished into the void, returning to the Star Sea Territory of the Great Stream Sect.

Inside the Holy White Space, Xu Chen looked at the various supernatural sects around him and couldn't help but ponder his future path to the Great Dao.

"After advancing to the Great Venerable realm, if one wishes to reach the Saint Venerable realm, there will be no precedents to follow on the path of the Great Dao."

“Previously, there were cultivation techniques, so we could follow the traces of those techniques to comprehend the Great Dao. Now that there are no cultivation techniques, we can only try to comprehend the 13 Great Daos that have been sublimated.”

"Once you have fully comprehended these great principles, you can integrate them into yourself to advance to the Saintly Venerable level."

"Based on my current understanding of the Great Dao, I may still need tens of millions of years of cultivation!"

"But my road ahead is fraught with peril, and integrating the thirteen major paths into myself is certainly not enough."

Thinking of this, Xu Chen awakened Qianming, who was sleeping inside him.

After advancing to the Great Venerable Realm, he had a vague feeling that he could use the Great Immortal Word Technique to make Qianming leave his body, but only most of them left. There would still be a trace of it remaining in his body. That trace of it carried the unique characteristics of an Invincible Saint Venerable, and even with his current strength, he could not completely eliminate it.

"What do you want?"

"You really advanced to the Great Venerable Realm using thirteen Great Paths!" Qianming exclaimed in shock.

"How can it be false?"

"The reason I woke you up is to ask you how many Great Dao Paths you merged with to advance to the Saintly Venerable realm?"

"Of the thirty-six Great Dao Paths, only one of the invincible Saints I have encountered can surpass me; the rest of the invincible Saints mostly follow sixteen Great Dao Paths."

"Thirty-six articles, that doesn't seem like much~"

"Senior, do you know how many powerful figures there are on the Great Dao?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"How could I know so much? Even when chatting with powerful figures on the Great Dao, I wouldn't dare ask so many questions."

"The Invincible Saint Venerable who was stronger than me initially advanced to Saint Venerable by integrating 39 Great Dao Paths into himself. After that, he reached the Invincible Saint Venerable realm in a short period of time."

"When advancing to the Saint Venerable Realm, the more Great Daos one integrates, the stronger one's foundation becomes, making it easier to reach the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, and possibly even stronger," Qianming explained.

"Senior, how many Great Dao Paths do you think I should integrate into myself to advance to the Saint Venerable level?" Xu Chen asked leisurely.

"Forty-nine rules are enough for someone like you!"

"Any more, and it might not be able to maintain the balance of the Great Dao integrated into the body."

Qianming explained to Xu Chen how the myriad paths merge into himself when he advanced to the Saint Venerable level.

"Interesting. Those above the Great Venerable only understand the surface of things. I'll go ask some of the Holy Venerables of the Human Race." Xu Chen had a feeling that he had encountered a similar great opportunity before.

Inside a temple hidden above the main human realm, Xu Chen entered and discovered that the Xuan Ding Saint Venerable had prepared a table full of top-quality dishes.

"It's rare for you to take the initiative to come to me. What's the matter?" Xuan Ding Saint Venerable smiled and invited Xu Chen to a seat.

"I'd like to ask you, senior, about the method for advancing from Great Venerable to Saint Venerable. How many Great Daos did you fuse to advance to Saint Venerable?" Xu Chen asked directly as soon as he arrived.

Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, Xuan Ding Saint Venerable first raised his wine cup.

After sharing a drink with Xu Chen, he finally spoke, "Back then, I merged the eighteen Great Daos into myself to advance to the Saint Venerable realm."

"Nine Great Paths and nine Auxiliary Paths, mixed with the Nine Yin and Nine Yang, open up a mysterious and constant state within the body, advancing to a higher realm of survival."

"The Great Dao is divided into..."

The Venerable Xuanding recounted to Xu Chen everything he had learned during his time as a Great Venerable, including his choices regarding the Great Dao he had made when he advanced, and the events leading up to and following his ascension to the Dao.

“A prodigy like you, I feel you need to fuse at least 36 Great Daos to advance to the Saint Venerable level.” Xuan Ding Saint Venerable said, a trace of vicissitude appearing on his face.

"The Invincible Saint Venerable is too strong. Even if I use my last resort and unleash all my power, I can only fight him for half an hour, or even less."

"Whenever I feel powerless, I think back to the past. If I had been more talented, if I had been more patient, and if I had integrated more of the Great Dao, would I have had a chance to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm?"

Xuan Ding Saint Venerable raised his wine cup and looked up at the sky, finally letting out a sigh as his past regrets turned into a sigh.

As Xu Chen savored the delicacies on the table, he felt that Xuan Ding Saint Venerable's words were just like his own lament in his past life about not studying hard enough.

“I have a great divine power, which is called the ‘Three Thousand Reincarnations Scripture’. Those who cultivate this divine power can be reincarnated three thousand times. In the last life, they can merge the most talented beings from these three thousand reincarnations into themselves and then cultivate again.”

"This secret method is fraught with danger, but I have another complementary Great Dao divine power called 'Seeking the Dao.' The two Great Dao divine powers complement each other, minimizing the danger."

"If Your Majesty requires it, I can give you a jade slip," Xu Chen said leisurely, savoring the dish.

"Forget it, I've already cultivated to this level. If I were to start over, the human race would be under a lot of pressure."

"Let's wait a little longer. If the human race unifies the main world of all races and I am still alive, I will ask you for these two divine abilities." Xuan Ding Saint Venerable had a slight change of heart, but thinking about the current situation of the human race, although it was better than before, the final battle that they would have to face in the future was still inevitable.

"Okay~" Xu Chen nodded.

After enjoying the top-quality dishes on the table, Xu Chen took his leave and went to other holy lands.

After touring all the great saints of the human race, Xu Chen returned to his floating island cave in the Great Stream Sect Master World.

Inside the floating island cave, Xu Chen's cultivation secret realm.

More than a thousand kinds of Dao power floated around Xu Chen.

"Isn't it just the fusion of the Great Daos, coexisting perfectly within the body of a Saint Venerable Realm expert?"

“I’m good at this,” Xu Chen said with a slight smile.

In his past, he had witnessed countless times the transformation of a chaotic, undeveloped world into a distinct realm.

Especially after he finished mastering the final immortal's words, he had lost count of how many times he had witnessed this scene.

Under Xu Chen's control, over a thousand kinds of Dao power were perfectly transformed into a virtual world formed by the power of the Dao.

From the chaos before creation, it has transformed into a prosperous world, full of vitality, where all things flourish.

"Senior Qianming, what do you think of this scene?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Seeing this scene, a sense of desolation and absurdity welled up in my heart."

"It seems like everything I've done before—rising from humble beginnings, displaying extraordinary talent, encountering numerous fortuitous events, experiencing near-death experiences, great opportunities, and great fears—I've gone through it all. These experiences are what made me the invincible figure who roams the starry seas and is unmatched under the Great Dao. But now I feel like it was all just a dream."

"I'm wondering what kind of experiences, what kind of extraordinary encounters, shaped you into who you are today!" (End of Chapter)
